Performance counters need 64 bit atomic operations. To keep the patch small we use the simple generic atomic64_t implementation. The native implementation follows with the next kernel. Fixes this build bug: In file included from kernel/sched.c:42: include/linux/perf_counter.h:427: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'atomic64_t' Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

We always returned -EINVAL when setting of a shutdown action failed. This was misleading, if for example the hardware did not support the shutdown action. Now we save each shutdown action's init return code and return it when the action is being set.

Our udelay implementation enables interrupts to receive a special timer interrupt regardless of the context it is called from. This might lead to false positive lockdep reports. Since lockdep isn't aware of the fact that only a single interrupt source is enabled it warns about possible deadlocks that in reality won't happen, like the one below. To fix this disable lockdep before enabling interrupts.

In testing a backport of the write_begin/write_end AOPs, a 10% re-read regression was noticed when running iozone. This regression was introduced because the old AOPs would always do a mark_page_accessed(page) after the commit_write, but when the new AOPs where introduced, the only place this was kept was in pagecache_write_end(). This patch does the same thing in the generic case as what is done in pagecache_write_end(), which is just to mark the page accessed before we do write_end().

Fix the multithread program core thread message error. This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them. The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status. The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function. If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing. Then the core file will not have the register message of thread. So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS doesn't define. The following is how to reproduce this issue: cat 1.c #include <stdio.h> #include <pthread.h> #include <assert.h> void td1(void * i) { while (1) { printf ("1\n"); sleep (1); } return; } void td2(void * i) { while (1) { printf ("2\n"); sleep (1); } return; } int main(int argc,char *argv[],char *envp[]) { pthread_t t1,t2; pthread_create(&t1, NULL, (void*)td1, NULL); pthread_create(&t2, NULL, (void*)td2, NULL); sleep (10); assert(0); return (0); } arm-xxx-gcc -g -lpthread 1.c -o 1 copy 1.c and 1 to a arm board. Goto this board. ulimit -c 1800000 ./1 # ./1 1 2 1 ... ... 1 1: 1.c:37: main: Assertion `0' failed. Aborted (core dumped) Then you can get a core file. gdb 1 core.xxx Without the patch: (gdb) info threads 3 process 909 0x00000000 in ?? () 2 process 908 0x00000000 in ?? () * 1 process 907 0x4a6e2238 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 You can found that the pc of 909 and 908 is 0x00000000. With the patch: (gdb) info threads 3 process 885 0x4a749974 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6 2 process 884 0x4a749974 in nanosleep () from /lib/libc.so.6 * 1 process 883 0x4a6e2238 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6 The pc of 885 and 884 is right.

I run many ffsb test cases on JBODs (typically 13/12 disks). Comparing with kernel 2.6.30, 2.6.31-rc1 has about 16% regression with ffsb_create_4k. The sub test case creates files continuously for 10 minitues and every file is 1MB. Bisect located below patch. 5cee5815 is first bad commit commit 5cee5815 Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Date: Mon Apr 27 16:43:51 2009 +0200 vfs: Make sys_sync() use fsync_super() (version 4) It is unnecessarily fragile to have two places (fsync_super() and do_sync()) doing data integrity sync of the filesystem. Alter __fsync_super() to accommodate needs of both callers and use it. So after this patch __fsync_super() is the only place where we gather all the calls needed to properly send all data on a filesystem to disk. As a matter of fact, ffsb calls sys_sync in the end to make sure all data is flushed to disks and the flushing is counted into the result. vmstat shows ffsb is blocked when syncing for a long time. With 2.6.30, ffsb is blocked for a short time. I checked the patch and did experiments to recover the original methods. Eventually, the root cause is the patch deletes the calling to wakeup_pdflush when syncing, so only ffsb is blocked on disk I/O. wakeup_pdflush could ask pdflush to write back pages with ffsb at the same time.
