2006-06-26[PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for i386Anil S Keshavamurthy
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary components in the do_page_fault() code path.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for x86_64Anil S Keshavamurthy
Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT, ...) to notify the page fault. Since notify_die() is highly overloaded, this page fault notification is currently being sent to all the components registered with register_die_notification() which uses the same die_chain to loop for all the registered components which is unnecessary. In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path, this critical page fault notification is now moved to different call chain and the test results showed great improvements. And the kprobes which is interested in this notifications, now registers onto this new call chain only when it need to, i.e Kprobes now registers for page fault notification only when their are an active probes and unregisters from this page fault notification when no probes are active. I have incorporated all the feedback given by Ananth and Keith and everyone, and thanks for all the review feedback.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 3: Enable Generic Timekeepingjohn stultz
This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code. While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will be available. To get full replacements for the code being disabled here, the timeofday-clocks-i386 patch will needed.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Supportjohn stultz
As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math.

2006-06-26[PATCH] Time: Use clocksource abstraction for NTP adjustmentsjohn stultz
Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies clocksource. This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using shifted nanoseconds. The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the blame to me.

2006-06-26[SCSI] sd/scsi_lib simplify sd_rw_intr and scsi_io_completionLuben Tuikov
This patch simplifies "good_bytes" computation in sd_rw_intr(). sd: "good_bytes" computation is always done in terms of the resolution of the device's medium, since after that it is the number of good bytes we pass around and other layers/contexts (as opposed ot sd) can translate that to their own resolution (block layer:512). It also makes scsi_io_completion() processing more straightforward, eliminating the 3rd argument to the function. It also fixes a couple of bugs like not checking return value, using "break" instead of "return;", etc. I've been running with this patch for some time now on a test (do-it-all) system.

2006-06-26[CRYPTO] api: Added cra_init/cra_exitHerbert Xu
This patch adds the hooks cra_init/cra_exit which are called during a tfm's construction and destruction respectively. This will be used by the instances to allocate child tfm's. For now this lets us get rid of the coa_init/coa_exit functions which are used for exactly that purpose (unlike the dia_init function which is called for each transaction). In fact the coa_exit path is currently buggy as it may get called twice when an error is encountered during initialisation. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2006-06-26[CRYPTO] all: Pass tfm instead of ctx to algorithmsHerbert Xu
Up until now algorithms have been happy to get a context pointer since they know everything that's in the tfm already (e.g., alignment, block size). However, once we have parameterised algorithms, such information will be specific to each tfm. So the algorithm API needs to be changed to pass the tfm structure instead of the context pointer. This patch is basically a text substitution. The only tricky bit is the assembly routines that need to get the context pointer offset through asm-offsets.h.

2006-06-26[NET] netpoll: break recursive loop in netpoll rx pathNeil Horman
The netpoll system currently has a rx to tx path via: netpoll_rx __netpoll_rx arp_reply netpoll_send_skb dev->hard_start_tx This rx->tx loop places network drivers at risk of inadvertently causing a deadlock or BUG halt by recursively trying to acquire a spinlock that is used in both their rx and tx paths (this problem was origionally reported to me in the 3c59x driver, which shares a spinlock between the boomerang_interrupt and boomerang_start_xmit routines). This patch breaks this loop, by queueing arp frames, so that they can be responded to after all receive operations have been completed. Tested by myself and the reported with successful results.

2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: none-delayed process accounting accumulationKaiGai Kohei
In current 2.6.17 implementation, signal_struct refered from task_struct is used for per-process data structure. The pacct facility also uses it as a per-process data structure to store stime, utime, minflt, majflt. But those members are saved in __exit_signal(). It's too late. For example, if some threads exits at same time, pacct facility has a possibility to drop accountings for a part of those threads. (see, the following 'The results of original 2.6.17 kernel') I think accounting information should be completely collected into the per-process data structure before writing out an accounting record. This patch fixes this matter. Accumulation of stime, utime, minflt and majflt are done before generating accounting record.

2006-06-25[PATCH] pacct: avoidance to refer the last thread as a representation of the ↵KaiGai Kohei
process When pacct facility generate an 'ac_flag' field in accounting record, it refers a task_struct of the thread which died last in the process. But any other task_structs are ignored. Therefore, pacct facility drops ASU flag even if root-privilege operations are used by any other threads except the last one. In addition, AFORK flag is always set when the thread of group-leader didn't die last, although this process has called execve() after fork(). We have a same matter in ac_exitcode. The recorded ac_exitcode is an exit code of the last thread in the process. There is a possibility this exitcode is not the group leader's one.
