2011-06-14rcu: Use softirq to address performance regressionShaohua Li
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread) introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded performance by about 40%. The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has 64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks, but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods. This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related processing to be done. Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes, perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.) This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context, so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

2011-06-07usb-storage: redo incorrect readsAlan Stern
Some USB mass-storage devices have bugs that cause them not to handle the first READ(10) command they receive correctly. The Corsair Padlock v2 returns completely bogus data for its first read (possibly it returns the data in encrypted form even though the device is supposed to be unlocked). The Feiya SD/SDHC card reader fails to complete the first READ(10) command after it is plugged in or after a new card is inserted, returning a status code that indicates it thinks the command was invalid, which prevents the kernel from retrying the read. Since the first read of a new device or a new medium is for the partition sector, the kernel is unable to retrieve the device's partition table. Users have to manually issue an "hdparm -z" or "blockdev --rereadpt" command before they can access the device. This patch (as1470) works around the problem. It adds a new quirk flag, US_FL_INVALID_READ10, indicating that the first READ(10) should always be retried immediately, as should any failing READ(10) commands (provided the preceding READ(10) command succeeded, to avoid getting stuck in a loop). The patch also adds appropriate unusual_devs entries containing the new flag.

2011-06-01intel-iommu: Enable super page (2MiB, 1GiB, etc.) supportYouquan Song
There are no externally-visible changes with this. In the loop in the internal __domain_mapping() function, we simply detect if we are mapping: - size >= 2MiB, and - virtual address aligned to 2MiB, and - physical address aligned to 2MiB, and - on hardware that supports superpages. (and likewise for larger superpages). We automatically use a superpage for such mappings. We never have to worry about *breaking* superpages, since we trust that we will always *unmap* the same range that was mapped. So all we need to do is ensure that dma_pte_clear_range() will also cope with superpages. Adjust pfn_to_dma_pte() to take a superpage 'level' as an argument, so it can return a PTE at the appropriate level rather than always extending the page tables all the way down to level 1. Again, this is simplified by the fact that we should never encounter existing small pages when we're creating a mapping; any old mapping that used the same virtual range will have been entirely removed and its obsolete page tables freed. Provide an 'intel_iommu=sp_off' argument on the command line as a chicken bit. Not that it should ever be required. == The original commit seen in the iommu-2.6.git was Youquan's implementation (and completion) of my own half-baked code which I'd typed into an email. Followed by half a dozen subsequent 'fixes'. I've taken the unusual step of rewriting history and collapsing the original commits in order to keep the main history simpler, and make life easier for the people who are going to have to backport this to older kernels. And also so I can give it a more coherent commit comment which (hopefully) gives a better explanation of what's going on. The original sequence of commits leading to identical code was: Youquan Song (3): intel-iommu: super page support intel-iommu: Fix superpage alignment calculation error intel-iommu: Fix superpage level calculation error in dma_pfn_level_pte() David Woodhouse (4): intel-iommu: Precalculate superpage support for dmar_domain intel-iommu: Fix hardware_largepage_caps() intel-iommu: Fix inappropriate use of superpages in __domain_mapping() intel-iommu: Fix phys_pfn in __domain_mapping for sglist pages Signed-off-by: Youquan Song <youquan.song@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse@intel.com>

2011-05-29x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline paramLen Brown
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be used. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-05-29x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline paramLen Brown
We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had marginal electricals 15-years ago. If those machines are still running the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll". The only difference will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt(). cc: x86@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-05-29x86 idle APM: deprecate CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLELen Brown
We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules. Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to. CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old. It calls into the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines to fail. Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting pm_idle. Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS at run-time will simply use HLT instead. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2011-05-27fs: pass exact type of data dirties to ->dirty_inodeChristoph Hellwig
Tell the filesystem if we just updated timestamp (I_DIRTY_SYNC) or anything else, so that the filesystem can track internally if it needs to push out a transaction for fdatasync or not. This is just the prototype change with no user for it yet. I plan to push large XFS changes for the next merge window, and getting this trivial infrastructure in this window would help a lot to avoid tree interdependencies. Also remove incorrect comments that ->dirty_inode can't block. That has been changed a long time ago, and many implementations rely on it.

2011-05-26coredump: add support for exe_file in core nameJiri Slaby
Now, exe_file is not proc FS dependent, so we can use it to name core file. So we add %E pattern for core file name cration which extract path from mm_struct->exe_file. Then it converts slashes to exclamation marks and pastes the result to the core file name itself. This is useful for environments where binary names are longer than 16 character (the current->comm limitation). Also where there are binaries with same name but in a different path. Further in case the binery itself changes its current->comm after exec. So by doing (s/$/#/ -- # is treated as git comment): $ sysctl kernel.core_pattern='core.%p.%e.%E' $ ln /bin/cat cat45678901234567890 $ ./cat45678901234567890 ^Z $ rm cat45678901234567890 $ fg ^\Quit (core dumped) $ ls core* we now get: core.2434.cat456789012345.!root!cat45678901234567890 (deleted) Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-05-26cgroup: remove the ns_cgroupDaniel Lezcano
The ns_cgroup is an annoying cgroup at the namespace / cgroup frontier and leads to some problems: * cgroup creation is out-of-control * cgroup name can conflict when pids are looping * it is not possible to have a single process handling a lot of namespaces without falling in a exponential creation time * we may want to create a namespace without creating a cgroup The ns_cgroup was replaced by a compatibility flag 'clone_children', where a newly created cgroup will copy the parent cgroup values. The userspace has to manually create a cgroup and add a task to the 'tasks' file. This patch removes the ns_cgroup as suggested in the following thread: https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/containers/2009-June/018616.html The 'cgroup_clone' function is removed because it is no longer used. This is a userspace-visible change. Commit 45531757b45c ("cgroup: notify ns_cgroup deprecated") (merged into 2.6.27) caused the kernel to emit a printk warning users that the feature is planned for removal. Since that time we have heard from XXX users who were affected by this. Signed-off-by: Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@free.fr> Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Cc: Eric W.

2011-05-26cgroups: make procs file writableBen Blum
Make procs file writable to move all threads by tgid at once. Add functionality that enables users to move all threads in a threadgroup at once to a cgroup by writing the tgid to the 'cgroup.procs' file. This current implementation makes use of a per-threadgroup rwsem that's taken for reading in the fork() path to prevent newly forking threads within the threadgroup from "escaping" while the move is in progress.

2011-05-26cgroups: add per-thread subsystem callbacksBen Blum
Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks for cgroups's subsystem interface. Unlike can_attach and attach, these are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when attaching an entire threadgroup. Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped (though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to attach_task and attach. This is a pre-patch for cgroup-procs-writable.patch. Signed-off-by: Ben Blum <bblum@andrew.cmu.edu> Cc: "Eric W.
