2007-10-16slow down printk during bootRandy Dunlap
Optionally add a boot delay after each kernel printk() call, crudely measured in milliseconds, with a maximum delay of 10 seconds per printk. Enable CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY=y and then add (e.g.): "lpj=loops_per_jiffy boot_delay=100" to the kernel command line. It has been useful in cases like "during boot, my machine just reboots or the screen goes black" by slowing down printk, (and adding initcall_debug), we can usually see the last thing that happened before the lights went out which is usually a valuable clue.

2007-10-09Re: [NFS] [PATCH] Attribute timeout handling and wrapping u32 jiffiesFabio Olive Leite
I would like to discuss the idea that the current checks for attribute timeout using time_after are inadequate for 32bit architectures, since time_after works correctly only when the two timestamps being compared are within 2^31 jiffies of each other. The signed overflow caused by comparing values more than 2^31 jiffies apart will flip the result, causing incorrect assumptions of validity. 2^31 jiffies is a fairly large period of time (~25 days) when compared to the lifetime of most kernel data structures, but for long lived NFS mounts that can sit idle for months (think that for some reason autofs cannot be used), it is easy to compare inode attribute timestamps with very disparate or even bogus values (as in when jiffies have wrapped many times, where the comparison doesn't even make sense). Currently the code tests for attribute timeout by simply adding the desired amount of jiffies to the stored timestamp and comparing that with the current timestamp of obtained attribute data with time_after. This is incorrect, as it returns true for the desired timeout period and another full 2^31 range of jiffies. In testing with artificial jumps (several small jumps, not one big crank) of the jiffies I was able to reproduce a problem found in a server with very long lived NFS mounts, where attributes would not be refreshed even after touching files and directories in the server: Initial uptime: 03:42:01 up 6 min, 0 users, load average: 0.01, 0.12, 0.07 NFS volume is mounted and time is advanced: 03:38:09 up 25 days, 2 min, 0 users, load average: 1.22, 1.05, 1.08 # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:38 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar # touch /local/A/foo/bar # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 17 03:47 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 00:36 /nfs/A/foo/bar We can see the local mtime is updated, but the NFS mount still shows the old value. The patch below makes it work: Initial setup... 07:11:02 up 25 days, 1 min, 0 users, load average: 0.15, 0.03, 0.04 # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:11 /nfs/A/foo/bar # touch /local/A/foo/bar # ls -l /local/A/foo/bar /nfs/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:14 /local/A/foo/bar -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jan 11 07:14 /nfs/A/foo/bar Signed-off-by: Fabio Olive Leite <fleite@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
2007-02-16[PATCH] Fix timeout overflow with jiffiesIngo Molnar
Prevent timeout overflow if timer ticks are behind jiffies (due to high softirq load or due to dyntick), by limiting the valid timeout range to MAX_LONG/2.

jiffies.h includes a comment informing that jiffies_64 must be read with the assistance of the xtime_lock seqlock. The comment text, however, calls jiffies_64 "not volatile", which should probably read "not atomic".

2006-09-26[PATCH] Add 64bit jiffies compares (for use with get_jiffies_64)Dmitriy Zavin
The current time_before/time_after macros will fail typechecks when passed u64 values (as returned by get_jiffies_64()). On 64bit systems, this will just result in a warning about mismatching types without explicit casts, but since unsigned long and u64 (unsigned long long) are of same size, it will still work. On 32bit systems, a long is 32bits, so the value from get_jiffies_64() will be truncated by the cast and thus lose all the precision gained by 64bit jiffies.

2006-04-09[PATCH] x86_64: Fix drift with HPET timer enabledJordan Hargrave
If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day. This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct setting (still using PIT count). If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced. HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for HPET timer. Vojtech comments: "It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error there."

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
