Remove the p_nodepda and p_subnodepda pointers from the pda_s structure. And then define a new per-cpu pointer to the nodepda and export it so that it can be accessed by kernel modules. Signed-off-by: Dean Nelson <dcn@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

- pfm_context_load(): change return value from EINVAL to EBUSY when context is already loaded. - pfm_check_task_state(): pass test if context state is MASKED. It is safe to give access on PFM_CTX_MASKED because the PMU state (PMD) is stable and saved in software state. This helps multiplexing programs such as the example given in libpfm-3.1.

The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified): context switch out: save PMDs clear psr.up release ownership context switch in: if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) { set psr.up return } restore PMD restore PMC ctx->last_cpu = smp_processor_id(); ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation; set psr.up The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate. The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers. In default_idle(), the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed. To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits. Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND perfmon saying it is okay.

The patch "MCA recovery improvements" added do_exit to mca_drv.c. That's fine when the mca recovery code is built in the kernel (CONFIG_IA64_MCA_RECOVERY=y) but breaks building the mca recovery code as a module (CONFIG_IA64_MCA_RECOVERY=m). Most users are currently building this as a module, as loading and unloading the module provides a very convenient way to turn on/off error recovery. This patch exports do_exit, so mca_drv.c can build as a module. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson (rja@sgi.com) Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Jack Steiner uncovered some opportunities for improvement in the MCA recovery code. 1) Set bsp to save registers on the kernel stack. 2) Disable interrupts while in the MCA recovery code. 3) Change the way the user process is killed, to avoid a panic in schedule. Testing shows that these changes make the recovery code much more reliable with the 2.6.12 kernel. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson <rja@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Attached is a patch against David's audit.17 kernel that adds checks for the TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT thread flag to the ia64 system call and signal handling code paths. The patch enables auditing of system calls set up via fsys_bubble_down, as well as ensuring that audit_syscall_exit() is called on return from sigreturn. Neglecting to check for TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT at these points results in incorrect information in audit_context, causing frequent system panics when system call auditing is enabled on an ia64 system. I have tested this patch and have seen no problems with it.

Andi noted that during normal runtime cpu_idle_map is bounced around a lot, and occassionally at a higher frequency than the timer interrupt wakeup which we normally exit pm_idle from. So switch to a percpu variable. I didn't move things to the slow path because it would involve adding scheduler code to wakeup the idle thread on the cpus we're waiting for.

This is a small patch to switch fluch_icache_range() to use fc.i instead of fc. This would save time on processors which can establish i-cache coherency without flushing the cache-line out to memory (not that any current processors do). On existing processors, fc.i behaves like fc. The only caveat is that very old assemblers may not know about fc.i yet.

Now that we have MC/MT detection patches in, appended patch allows us to configure MT scheduler optimizations. For now, we will this option off by default. There is some discussion going on lkml about setting up sched-domains which are absolutely needed (like for example, we shouldn't setup SMT domain for non MT processors). Once that patch goes in, we can enable this option by default. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

The cpufreq core patch I sent earlier got only half-applied. I added a flag to let the low level driver disable an annoying warning on suspend/resume that is normal on ppc, but the "resume" part of it wasn't applied. This just adds back that missing bit. The original patch also reworked the resume() function to avoid nesting too many if () statements along the way I did the suspend() one, but I didn't include that in the patch below.

The clock spreading disable/enable code was called to late/early during the suspend/resume code on some laptops and would trigger a might_sleep() warning due to the down() call in the low level i2c code.

A typo in the machine table incorrectly mark the 101 PowerBook as needing explicit callback from the video driver to enable sleep mode.

We are experiencing a problem when flushing the CPU caches before sleep on some laptop models using the 750FX CPU rev 1.X. While I haven't been able to figure out a proper explanation for what's going on, I do have a workaround that seem to work reliably and allows those machine to sleep and wakeup properly again. I'll re-update that code if/when I ever find exactly what is happening with those CPU revisions.
