On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do look better. So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the CONFIG_X86_64 thing. The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for them. Signed-off-by:H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online. But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for a CPU. Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is set online for the first time. Signed-off-by:

Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2 root cause: we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming, and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid, so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid. So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init for those earlier cpus. this patch is for v2.6.27 Reported-by:

H. Peter Anvin authored
The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6. Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD. Signed-off-by: -

The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal, and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta), 3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90: An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594 "x86: merge tsc calibration". The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration. Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk. On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic with SMI detection shows better results. According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT calibration method. The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current either/or decision. 1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real frequency 2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI. 3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT based calibration 4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and decide after all iterations finished. 5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result makes sense. The implementation does the reference calibration based on HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway, but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the resulting calibration values. Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6 (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

Ever since commit 4c563f76 ("[XFRM]: Speed up xfrm_policy and xfrm_state walking") it is illegal to call __xfrm_state_destroy (and thus xfrm_state_put()) with xfrm_state_lock held. If we do, we'll deadlock since we have the lock already and __xfrm_state_destroy() tries to take it again. Fix this by pushing the xfrm_state_put() calls after the lock is dropped. Signed-off-by:

Fix a bug reported by and diagnosed by Aaron Straus. This is a regression intruduced into 2.6.26 by commit adc782da Author: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Date: Tue Apr 29 01:03:07 2008 -0700 random: simplify and rename credit_entropy_store credit_entropy_bits() does: spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); ... if (r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS) r->entropy_count = r->poolinfo->POOLBITS; so there is a time window in which this BUG_ON(): static size_t account(struct entropy_store *r, size_t nbytes, int min, int reserved) { unsigned long flags; BUG_ON(r->entropy_count > r->poolinfo->POOLBITS); /* Hold lock while accounting */ spin_lock_irqsave(&r->lock, flags); can trigger. We could fix this by moving the assertion inside the lock, but it seems safer and saner to revert to the old behaviour wherein entropy_store.entropy_count at no time exceeds entropy_store.poolinfo->POOLBITS.

Make PM_QOS and CPU_IDLE play nicer when run with the RT-Preempt kernel. The purpose of the patch is to remove the spin_lock around the read in the function pm_qos_requirement - since spinlocks can sleep in -rt and this function is called from idle. CPU_IDLE polls the target_value's of some of the pm_qos parameters from the idle loop causing sleeping locking warnings. Changing the target_value to an atomic avoids this issue. Remove the spinlock in pm_qos_requirement by making target_value an atomic type. Signed-off-by:

I got this patch through Red Hat's bugzilla from the bug submitter and patch creator. I have just fixed it up so it applies without fuzz to upstream kernels. Original patch and description from Shyam kumar Iyer: The issue [ibft module not displaying targets with short names] is because of an offset calculatation error in the iscsi_ibft.c code. Due to this error directory structure for the target in /sys/firmware/ibft does not get created and so the initiator is unable to connect to the target. Note that this bug surfaced only with an name that had a short section at the end. eg: "iqn.1984-05.com.dell:dell". It did not surface when the iqn's had a longer section at the end. eg: "iqn.2001-04.com.example:storage.disk2.sys1.xyz" So, the eot_offset was calculated such that an extra 48 bytes i.e. the size of the ibft_header which has already been accounted was subtracted twice. This was not evident with longer iqn names because they would overshoot the total ibft length more than 48 bytes and thus would escape the bug. Signed-off-by:

Quicklists store pages for each CPU as caches. (Each CPU can cache node_free_pages/16 pages) It is used for page table cache. exit() will increase the cache size, while fork() consumes it. So for example if an apache-style application runs (one parent and many child model), one CPU process will fork() while another CPU will process the middleware work and exit(). At that time, the CPU on which the parent runs doesn't have page table cache at all. Others (on which children runs) have maximum caches. QList_max = (#ofCPUs - 1) x Free / 16 => QList_max / (Free + QList_max) = (#ofCPUs - 1) / (16 + #ofCPUs - 1) So, How much quicklist memory is used in the maximum case? This is proposional to # of CPUs because the limit of per cpu quicklist cache doesn't see the number of cpus. Above calculation mean Number of CPUs per node 2 4 8 16 ============================== ==================== QList_max / (Free + QList_max) 5.8% 16% 30% 48% Wow!

This is not memory leak but doesn't seem good. % cat /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 7701568 kB MemFree: 4724672 kB (snip) Quicklists: 844800 kB because - My machine spec is number of numa node: 2 number of cpus: 8 (4CPU x2 node) total mem: 8GB (4GB x2 node) free mem: about 5GB - Then, 4.7GB x 16% ~= 880MB. So, Quicklist can use 800MB. So, if following spec machine run that program CPUs: 64 (8cpu x 8node) Mem: 1TB (128GB x8node) Then, quicklist can waste 300GB (= 1TB x 30%). It is too large. So, I don't like cache policies which is proportional to # of cpus. My patch changes the number of caches from: per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 to per-cpu-cache-amount = memory_on_node / 16 / number_of_cpus_on_node.

We don't change pid_ns->child_reaper when the main thread of the subnamespace init exits. As Robert Rex <robert.rex@exasol.com> pointed out this is wrong. Yes, the re-parenting itself works correctly, but if the reparented task exits it needs ->parent->nsproxy->pid_ns in do_notify_parent(), and if the main thread is zombie its ->nsproxy was already cleared by exit_task_namespaces(). Introduce the new function, find_new_reaper(), which finds the new ->parent for the re-parenting and changes ->child_reaper if needed. Kill the now unneeded exit_child_reaper(). Also move the changing of ->child_reaper from zap_pid_ns_processes() to find_new_reaper(), this consolidates the games with ->child_reaper and makes it stable under tasklist_lock.

zap_pid_ns_processes() sets pid_ns->child_reaper = NULL, this is wrong. Yes, we have already killed all tasks in this namespace, and sys_wait4() doesn't see any child. But this doesn't mean ->children list is empty, we may have EXIT_DEAD tasks which are not visible to do_wait(). In that case the subsequent forget_original_parent() will crash the kernel because it will try to re-parent these tasks to the NULL reaper. Even if there are no childs, it is not good that forget_original_parent() uses reaper == NULL. Change the code to set ->child_reaper = init_pid_ns.child_reaper instead. We could use pid_ns->parent->child_reaper as well, I think this does not really matter. These EXIT_DEAD tasks are not visible to the new ->parent after re-parenting, they will silently do release_task() eventually. Note that we must change ->child_reaper, otherwise forget_original_parent() will use reaper == father, and in that case we will hit the (correct) BUG_ON(!list_empty(&father->children)).

This bug has been around for a LONG time. The MM warning is from late 2005, but the driver merged a year later ... so I'm puzzled why nobody noticed this before now. The fix involves noting that this buffer shouldn't be DMA-coherent; it's just used for normal DMA writes. So replace it with standard kmalloc() buffering and DMA mapping calls. This is the quickie fix. A better one would not rely on allocating large bounce buffers. (Note that dma_alloc_coherent could have failed too, but that case was ignored... kmalloc is a bit more likely to fail though.) Signed-off-by:

Recent changes to tighten the check for UARTs that don't correctly re-assert THRE (01c194d9: "serial 8250: tighten test for using backup timer") caused problems when such a UART was opened for the second time - the bug could only successfully be detected at first initialization. For users of this version of this particular UART IP it is fatal. This patch stores the information about the bug in the bugs field of the port structure when the port is first started up so subsequent opens can check this bit even if the test for the bug fails. David Brownell: "My own exposure to this is that the UART on DaVinci hardware, which TI allegedly derived from its original 16550 logic, has periodically gone from working to unusable with the mainline 8250.c ... and back and forth a bunch. Currently it's "unusable", a regression from some previous versions. With this patch from Will, it's usable." Signed-off-by:

Dio write returns EIO when try_to_release_page fails because bh is still referenced. The patch commit 3f31fddf Author: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Date: Fri Jul 25 01:46:22 2008 -0700 jbd: fix race between free buffer and commit transaction was merged into 2.6.27-rc1, but I noticed that this patch is not enough to fix the race. I did fsstress test heavily to 2.6.27-rc1, and found that dio write still sometimes got EIO through this test. The patch above fixed race between freeing buffer(dio) and committing transaction(jbd) but I discovered that there is another race, freeing buffer(dio) and ext3/4_ordered_writepage. : background_writeout() ->write_cache_pages() ->ext3_ordered_writepage() walk_page_buffers() -> take a bh ref block_write_full_page() -> unlock_page : <- end_page_writeback : <- race! (dio write->try_to_release_page fails) walk_page_buffers() ->release a bh ref ext3_ordered_writepage holds bh ref and does unlock_page remaining taking a bh ref, so this causes the race and failure of try_to_release_page. To fix this race, I used the approach of falling back to buffered writes if try_to_release_page() fails on a page.

I have gotten to the root cause of the hugetlb badness I reported back on August 15th. My system has the following memory topology (note the overlapping node): Node 0 Memory: 0x8000000-0x44000000 Node 1 Memory: 0x0-0x8000000 0x44000000-0x80000000 setup_zone_migrate_reserve() scans the address range 0x0-0x8000000 looking for a pageblock to move onto the MIGRATE_RESERVE list. Finding no candidates, it happily continues the scan into 0x8000000-0x44000000. When a pageblock is found, the pages are moved to the MIGRATE_RESERVE list on the wrong zone. Oops. setup_zone_migrate_reserve() should skip pageblocks in overlapping nodes. Signed-off-by:Adam Litke <agl@us.ibm.com> Acked-by:
