Hidetoshi Seto authored
Originally task_s/utime() were designed to return clock_t but later changed to return cputime_t by following commit: commit efe567fc Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Date: Thu Aug 23 15:18:02 2007 +0200 It only changed the type of return value, but not the implementation. As the result the granularity of task_s/utime() is still that of clock_t, not that of cputime_t. So using task_s/utime() in __exit_signal() makes values accumulated to the signal struct to be rounded and coarse grained. This patch removes casts to clock_t in task_u/stime(), to keep granularity of cputime_t over the calculation. v2: Use div_u64() to avoid error "undefined reference to `__udivdi3`" on some 32bit systems.

From the code in rt_mutex_setprio(), it is evident that the intention is that task's with a RT 'prio' value as a consequence of receiving a PI boost also have their 'sched_class' field set to '&rt_sched_class'. However, Peter noticed that the code in __setscheduler() could result in this intention being frustrated. Fix it.

Commit 1b9508f6, "Rate-limit newidle" has been confirmed to fix the netperf UDP loopback regression reported by Alex Shi. This is a cleanup and a fix: - moved to a more out of the way spot - fix to ensure that balancing doesn't try to balance runqueues which haven't gone online yet, which can mess up CPU enumeration during boot.

When waking affine, check for an idle shared cache, and if found, wake to that CPU/sibling instead of the waker's CPU. This improves pgsql+oltp ramp up by roughly 8%. Possibly more for other loads, depending on overlap. The trade-off is a roughly 1% peak downturn if tasks are truly synchronous.

Currently partition_sched_domains() takes a 'struct cpumask *doms_new' which is a kmalloc'ed array of cpumask_t. You can't have such an array if 'struct cpumask' is undefined, as we plan for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y. So, we make this an array of cpumask_var_t instead: this is the same for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n case, but requires multiple allocations for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y case. Hence we add alloc_sched_domains() and free_sched_domains() functions.

find_lowest_rq() wants to call pick_optimal_cpu() on the intersection of sched_domain_span(sd) and lowest_mask. Rather than doing a cpus_and into a temporary, we can open-code it.

CPU time of a guest is always accounted in 'user' time without concern for the nice value of its counterpart process although the guest is scheduled under the nice value. This patch fixes the defect and accounts cpu time of a niced guest in 'nice' time as same as a niced process. And also the patch adds 'guest_nice' to cpuacct. The value provides niced guest cpu time which is like 'nice' to 'user'.

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance regressions for Fedora users: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695 while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag is wrong. Rationale: QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue unplugged immediately. This is not a good behaviour for at least qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every I/O operations. Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO, MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed. If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host.

This patch fixes a null pointer exception in pipe_rdwr_open() which generates the stack trace: > Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028 RIP: > [<ffffffff802899a5>] pipe_rdwr_open+0x35/0x70 > [<ffffffff8028125c>] __dentry_open+0x13c/0x230 > [<ffffffff8028143d>] do_filp_open+0x2d/0x40 > [<ffffffff802814aa>] do_sys_open+0x5a/0x100 > [<ffffffff8021faf3>] sysenter_do_call+0x1b/0x67 The failure mode is triggered by an attempt to open an anonymous pipe via /proc/pid/fd/* as exemplified by this script: ============================================================= while : ; do { echo y ; sleep 1 ; } | { while read ; do echo z$REPLY; done ; } & PID=$! OUT=$(ps -efl | grep 'sleep 1' | grep -v grep | { read PID REST ; echo $PID; } ) OUT="${OUT%% *}" DELAY=$((RANDOM * 1000 / 32768)) usleep $((DELAY * 1000 + RANDOM % 1000 )) echo n > /proc/$OUT/fd/1 # Trigger defect done ============================================================= Note that the failure window is quite small and I could only reliably reproduce the defect by inserting a small delay in pipe_rdwr_open(). For example: static int pipe_rdwr_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *filp) { msleep(100); mutex_lock(&inode->i_mutex); Although the defect was observed in pipe_rdwr_open(), I think it makes sense to replicate the change through all the pipe_*_open() functions. The core of the change is to verify that inode->i_pipe has not been released before attempting to manipulate it. If inode->i_pipe is no longer present, return ENOENT to indicate so. The comment about potentially using atomic_t for i_pipe->readers and i_pipe->writers has also been removed because it is no longer relevant in this context. The inode->i_mutex lock must be used so that inode->i_pipe can be dealt with correctly.

In ks8851_set_rx_mode() the case handling IFF_MULTICAST was also setting the RXCR1_AE bit by accident. This meant that all unicast frames where being accepted by the device. Remove RXCR1_AE from this case. Note, RXCR1_AE was also masking a problem with setting the MAC address properly, so needs to be applied after fixing the MAC write order. Fixes a bug reported by Doong, Ping of Micrel. This version of the patch avoids setting RXCR1_ME for all cases. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben@simtec.co.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

The MAC address register was being written in the wrong order, so add a new address macro to convert mac-address byte to register address and a ks8851_wrreg8() function to write each byte without having to worry about any difficult byte swapping.
