Introduce additional_cpus command line option. By default no additional cpu can be attached to the system anymore. Only the cpus present at IPL time can be switched on/off. If it is desired that additional cpus can be attached to the system the maximum number of additional cpus needs to be specified with this option. This change is necessary in order to limit the waste of per_cpu data structures.

Set preempt_count of idle_thread to zero before switching off cpu. Otherwise the preempt_count will be wrong if the cpu is switched on again since the thread will be reused.

Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> wrote: The boot sequence on s390 sometimes takes ages and we spend a very long time (up to one or two minutes) in calibrate_migration_costs. The time spent there differs from boot to boot. Also the calculated costs differ a lot. I've seen differences by up to a factor of 15 (yes, factor not percent). Also I doubt that making these measurements make much sense on a completely virtualized architecture where you cannot tell how much cpu time you will get anyway. So introduce the CONFIG_DEFAULT_MIGRATION_COST method for an architecture to set the scheduler migration costs. This turns off automatic detection of migration costs. Makes sense on virtual platforms, where migration costs are hard to measure accurately.

Fix a deadlock possible in the ext2 file system implementation. This deadlock occurs when a file is removed from an ext2 file system which was mounted with the "sync" mount option. The problem is that ext2_xattr_delete_inode() was invoking the routine, sync_dirty_buffer(), using a buffer head which was previously locked via lock_buffer(). The first thing that sync_dirty_buffer() does is to lock the buffer head that it was passed. It does this via lock_buffer(). Oops. The solution is to unlock the buffer head in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() before invoking sync_dirty_buffer(). This makes the code in ext2_xattr_delete_inode() obey the same locking rules as all other callers of sync_dirty_buffer() in the ext2 file system implementation.

Users report problems w/ auto-negotiation disabled and the link set to 100/Half or 10/Half. Problems range from poor performance to no link at all. The current sky2 code does not set things properly on link up if autonegotiation is disabled. Plus it does not contemplate a 10Mbit setting at all. This patch corrects that. Signed-off-by: John W.

This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally. The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length. Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that it was (still) correct. The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one, we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length. Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can be fixed up at the next tick.

The memory allocator doesn't like empty zones (which have an uninitialized freelist), so a x86-64 system with a node fully in GFP_DMA32 only would crash on mbind. Fix that up by putting all possible zones as fallback into the zonelist and skipping the empty ones. In fact the code always enough allocated space for all zones, but only used it for the highest. This change just uses all the memory that was allocated before. This should work fine for now, but whoever implements node hot removal needs to fix this somewhere else too (or make sure zone datastructures by itself never go away, only their memory) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Many laptops have problems with ticking the local APIC timer in C2/C3. The code added earlier to use it by default on ATI didn't really work for them. Don't enable it when the system supports C2/C3.
