While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't use any of the standard hash techniques but simply adds up the string and then uses power of two masking, which is both known to perform poorly. The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols. When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain length was 16 and a significant number of them was over 30. It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets. This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable hash table sizes. Increasing the hash table size even further didn't seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global walks which walk the complete hash table. I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care. The result is a much nicer distribution: (first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length) 1: 3505 2: 1236 3: 294 4: 52 5: 3 47: 1 <--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table even more would be likely not worth it. This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded magic numbers. I didn't notice a big performance difference either way on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat on slower systems.

The LOCALVERSION= string passed to "make" will now always be appended to the kernel version after CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, if it exists, regardless of whether CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is set or not. This allows users to uniquely identify their kernel builds with a string. If CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, the unique SCM tag reported by setlocalversion (or .scmversion) is appended to the kernel version, if it exists. When CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not enabled, a `+' is appended to the kernel version to represent that the kernel has been revised since the last release unless "make LOCALVERSION=" was used to uniquely identify the build. The end result is this: - when LOCALVERSION= is passed to "make", it is appended to the kernel version, - when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is enabled, a unique SCM identifier is appended if the respository has been revised beyond a tagged commit, and - when CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is disabled, a `+' is appended if the repository has been revised beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION= was not passed to "make". Examples: With CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO: "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63e. If there are uncommited changes to the respository, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-00149-ga3ccf63e-dirty. If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild-00149-ga3ccf63e-dirty. Without CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO, "make" results in v2.6.32-rc4+ unless the repository is at the Linux v2.6.32-rc4 commit (in which case the version would be v2.6.32-rc4). If "make LOCALVERSION=kbuild" were used, it results in v2.6.32-rc4-kbuild. Also renames variables such as localver-auto and _localver-auto to more accurately describe what they represent: localver-extra and scm-identifier, respectively.

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg). Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel, form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is currently distributed with the kernel. Signed-off-by: Nir Tzachar <nir.tzachar@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

Help text for certain config options is very extensive (the text includes the names of all other options the option in question depends on). Long lines are not wrapped, making it impossible to see the list without scrolling horizontally. This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word boundaries to prevent truncating. Tested by running ARCH=powerpc make menuconfig O=/tmp/build which shows that the long lines are now wrapped, and ARCH=powerpc make xconfig O=/tmp/build to demonstrate that it still compiles and operates as expected.

This patch adds support for decoding ARM oopses to scripts/decodecode. The following things are handled: - ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected. - The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4 bytes) or halfwords for ARM. - Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions generated by literal constants (".word 0x..."). The workaround is to strip the object file first. - The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so> in x86. - ARM mnemonics may include characters such as [] which need to be escaped before being passed to sed for the "<- trapping instruction" substitution.

This adds CROSS_COMPILE as a kconfig string so you can store it in .config. Then you can use plain "make" in the configured kernel build directory to do the right cross compilation without setting the command-line or environment variable every time. With this, you can set up different build directories for different kernel configurations, whether native or cross-builds, and then use the simple: make -C /build/dir M=module-source-dir idiom to build modules for any given target kernel, indicating which one by nothing but the build directory chosen. I tried a version that defaults the string with env="CROSS_COMPILE" so that in a "make oldconfig" with CROSS_COMPILE in the environment you can just hit return to store the way you're building it. But the kconfig prompt for strings doesn't give you any way to say you want an empty string instead of the default, so I punted that.

After memory pressure has forced it to dip into the reserves, 2.6.32's 5f8dcc21 "page-allocator: split per-cpu list into one-list-per-migrate-type" has been returning MIGRATE_RESERVE pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE free_list: in some sense depleting reserves. Fix that in the most straightforward way (which, considering the overheads of alternative approaches, is Mel's preference): the right migratetype is already in page_private(page), but free_pcppages_bulk() wasn't using it. How did this bug show up? As a 20% slowdown in my tmpfs loop kbuild swapping tests, on PowerMac G5 with SLUB allocator. Bisecting to that commit was easy, but explaining the magnitude of the slowdown not easy. The same effect appears, but much less markedly, with SLAB, and even less markedly on other machines (the PowerMac divides into fewer zones than x86, I think that may be a factor). We guess that lumpy reclaim of short-lived high-order pages is implicated in some way, and probably this bug has been tickling a poor decision somewhere in page reclaim. But instrumentation hasn't told me much, I've run out of time and imagination to determine exactly what's going on, and shouldn't hold up the fix any longer: it's valid, and might even fix other misbehaviours.

Now that the previous commit made it possible to do the personality setting at the point of no return, we do just that for ELF binaries. And suddenly all the reasons for that insane TIF_ABI_PENDING bit go away, and we can just make SET_PERSONALITY() just do the obvious thing for a 32-bit compat process.

Linus Torvalds authored
'flush_old_exec()' is the point of no return when doing an execve(), and it is pretty badly misnamed. It doesn't just flush the old executable environment, it also starts up the new one. Which is very inconvenient for things like setting up the new personality, because we want the new personality to affect the starting of the new environment, but at the same time we do _not_ want the new personality to take effect if flushing the old one fails. As a result, the x86-64 '32-bit' personality is actually done using this insane "I'm going to change the ABI, but I haven't done it yet" bit (TIF_ABI_PENDING), with SET_PERSONALITY() not actually setting the personality, but just the "pending" bit, so that "flush_thread()" can do the actual personality magic. This patch in no way changes any of that insanity, but it does split the 'flush_old_exec()' function up into a preparatory part that can fail (still called flush_old_exec()), and a new part that will actually set up the new exec environment (setup_new_exec()). All callers are changed to trivially comply with the new world order. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

If you have a disk failure in RAID1 and then add a new disk to the array, and then try to remove the missing volume, it will fail. The reason is the sanity check only looks at the total number of rw devices, which is just 2 because we have 2 good disks and 1 bad one. Instead check the total number of devices in the array to make sure we can actually remove the device. Tested this with a failed disk setup and with this test we can now run btrfs-vol -r missing /mount/point and it works fine.

Hit this problem while testing RAID1 failure stuff. open_bdev_exclusive returns ERR_PTR(), not NULL. So change the return value properly. This is important if you accidently specify a device that doesn't exist when trying to add a new device to an array, you will panic the box dereferencing bdev.

If a RAID setup has chunks that span multiple disks, and one of those disks has failed, btrfs_chunk_readonly will return 1 since one of the disks in that chunk's stripes is dead and therefore not writeable. So instead if we are in degraded mode, return 0 so we can go ahead and allocate stuff. Without this patch all of the block groups in a RAID1 setup will end up read-only, which will mean we can't add new disks to the array since we won't be able to make allocations.

This patch revert's commit 6c090a11 Since it introduces this problem where we can run orphan cleanup on a volume that can have orphan entries re-added. Instead of my original fix, Yan Zheng pointed out that we can just revert my original fix and then run the orphan cleanup in open_ctree after we look up the fs_root. I have tested this with all the tests that gave me problems and this patch fixes both problems.

The default btrfs mount -o compress mode will quickly back off compressing a file if it notices that compression does not reduce the size of the data being written. This can save considerable CPU because all future writes to the file go through uncompressed. But some files are both very large and have mixed data stored in them. In that case, we want to add the ability to always try compressing data before writing it. This commit adds mount -o compress-force. A later commit will add a new inode flag that does the same thing.
