2010-10-21BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.Arnd Bergmann
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

2010-10-18irq_work: Add generic hardirq context callbacksPeter Zijlstra
Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

2010-10-12genirq: Remove early_init_irq_lock_class()Thomas Gleixner
early_init_irq_lock_class() is called way before anything touches the irq descriptors. In case of SPARSE_IRQ=y this is a NOP operation because the radix tree is empty at this point. For the SPARSE_IRQ=n case it's sufficient to set the lock class in early_init_irq(). Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2010-09-15init: add support for root devices specified by partition UUIDWill Drewry
This is the third patch in a series which adds support for storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct. One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition by other identities than just the index on a block device. Device enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct block device and partition to mount as the root. This change adds that support to root= by adding support for the following syntax: root=PARTUUID=hex-uuid Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2010-08-20rcu: Add a TINY_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney
Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers. The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience. Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183). As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

This commit fixes this to "fourth root" and also emphasizes that production systems are well-served by the default.

2010-08-19rcu: restrict TREE_RCU to SMP builds with !PREEMPTPaul E. McKenney
Because both TINY_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU have been in mainline for several releases, it is time to restrict the use of TREE_RCU to SMP non-preemptible systems. This reduces testing/validation effort. This commit is a first step towards driving the selection of RCU implementation directly off of the SMP and PREEMPT configuration parameters.

2010-08-17Make do_execve() take a const filename pointerDavid Howells
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles correctly on ARM: arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine. Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match. This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

Ilya reported that on a very slow machine he could reliably reproduce a race between forking init and kthreadd. We first fork init so that it obtains pid-1, however since the scheduler is already fully running at this point it can preempt and run the init thread before we spawn and set kthreadd_task. The init thread can then attempt spawning kthreads without kthreadd being present which results in an OOPS.

2010-06-27percpu: allow limited allocation before slab is onlineTejun Heo
This patch updates percpu allocator such that it can serve limited amount of allocation before slab comes online. This is primarily to allow slab to depend on working percpu allocator. Two parameters, PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE and SLOTS, determine how much memory space and allocation map slots are reserved. If this reserved area is exhausted, WARN_ON_ONCE() will trigger and allocation will fail till slab comes online. The following changes are made to implement early alloc. * pcpu_mem_alloc() now checks slab_is_available() * Chunks are allocated using pcpu_mem_alloc() * Init paths make sure ai->dyn_size is at least as large as PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE. * Initial alloc maps are allocated in __initdata and copied to kmalloc'd areas once slab is online.

2010-06-09ACPI: Do not try to set up acpi processor stuff on cores exceeding maxcpus=Thomas Renninger
Patch is against latest Linus master branch and is expected to be safe bug fix. You get: ACPI: HARDWARE addr space,NOT supported yet for each ACPI defined CPU which status is active, but exceeds maxcpus= count. As these "not booted" CPUs do not run an idle routine and echo X >/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling did not work I couldn't find a way to really access not onlined/booted machines. Still this should get fixed and /proc/acpi/processor/X dirs of cores exceeding maxcpus should not show up. I wonder whether this could get cleaned up by truncating possible cpu mask and nr_cpu_ids to setup_max_cpus early some day (and not exporting setup_max_cpus anymore then). But this needs touching of a lot other places...

2010-06-08tracing: Remove boot tracerAmérico Wang
The boot tracer is useless. It simply logs the initcalls but in fact these initcalls are also logged through printk while using the initcall_debug kernel parameter. Nobody seem to be using it so far. Then just remove it.

2010-05-25mem-hotplug: avoid multiple zones sharing same boot strapping boot_pagesetHaicheng Li
For each new populated zone of hotadded node, need to update its pagesets with dynamically allocated per_cpu_pageset struct for all possible CPUs: 1) Detach zone->pageset from the shared boot_pageset at end of __build_all_zonelists(). 2) Use mutex to protect zone->pageset when it's still shared in onlined_pages() Otherwises, multiple zones of different nodes would share same boot strapping boot_pageset for same CPU, which will finally cause below kernel panic: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at mm/page_alloc.c:1239! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP ...

2010-05-20x86, kgdb, init: Add early and late debug statesJason Wessel
The kernel debugger can operate well before mm_init(), but the x86 hardware breakpoint code which uses the perf api requires that the kernel allocators are initialized. This means the kernel debug core needs to provide an optional arch specific call back to allow the initialization functions to run after the kernel has been further initialized. The kdb shell already had a similar restriction with an early initialization and late initialization. The kdb_init() was moved into the debug core's version of the late init which is called dbg_late_init(); CC: kgdb-bugreport@lists.sourceforge.net Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
