I think that advancing the timer against the timer's current "now" can be a pretty common usage, so, w/out exposing hrtimer's internals, we add a new hrtimer_forward_now() function. Signed-off-by:

As Roland pointed out, we have the very old problem with exec. de_thread() sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT, kills other threads, changes ->group_leader and then clears signal->flags. All signals (even fatal ones) sent in this window (which is not too small) will be lost. With this patch exec doesn't abuse SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. signal_group_exit(), the new helper, should be used to detect exit_group() or exec() in progress. It can have more users, but this patch does only strictly necessary changes. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
Every time we set SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT or clear SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED we also reset ->group_stop_count. This means that the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT check in handle_group_stop() is not needed, and do_signal_stop() should check SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED only when ->group_stop_count == 0. With these changes handle_group_stop() becomes the subset of do_signal_stop(), we can kill it and use do_signal_stop() instead. Also, a preparation for the next patch. Signed-off-by:

Oleg Nesterov authored
When __group_complete_signal() sees sig_kernel_coredump() signal, it starts the group stop, but sets ->group_exit_task = t in a hope that "t" will actually dequeue this signal and invoke do_coredump(). However, by the time "t" enters get_signal_to_deliver() it is possible that the signal was blocked/ignored or we have another pending !SIG_KERNEL_COREDUMP_MASK signal which will be dequeued first. This means the task could be stopped but not killed. Remove this code from __group_complete_signal(). Note also this patch removes the bogus signal_wake_up(t, 1). This thread can't be STOPPED/TRACED, note the corresponding check in wants_signal(). Signed-off-by:

Ulrich says that we never used this clone flags and that nothing should be using it. As we're down to only a single bit left in clone's flags argument, let's add a warning to check that no userspace is actually using it. Hopefully we will be able to recycle it. Roland said: CLONE_STOPPED was previously used by some NTPL versions when under thread_db (i.e. only when being actively debugged by gdb), but not for a long time now, and it never worked reliably when it was used. Removing it seems fine to me.

Add a parameter to add_partial instead of having separate functions. The parameter allows a more detailed control of where the slab pages is placed in the partial queues. If we put slabs back to the front then they are likely immediately used for allocations. If they are put at the end then we can maximize the time that the partial slabs spent without being subject to allocations. When deactivating slab we can put the slabs that had remote objects freed (we can see that because objects were put on the freelist that requires locks) to them at the end of the list so that the cachelines of remote processors can cool down. Slabs that had objects from the local cpu freed to them (objects exist in the lockless freelist) are put in the front of the list to be reused ASAP in order to exploit the cache hot state of the local cpu. Patch seems to slightly improve tbench speed (1-2%). Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the IRQ and DMA definitions from core.h into realview_eb.c since they are platform-specific. It adds a realview_eb11mp_fixup function to adjust the IRQ numbers if the ARM11MPCore tile is fitted. The realview_smc91x_device is also moved from core.c into realview_eb.c. Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the platform specific definitions from platform.h into the board-eb.h file. It drops the INT_* definitions as they are no longer used in irqs.h (moved to board-eb.h). It renames REALVIEW_* macros to REALVIEW_EB_* or REALVIEW_EB11MP_* to distinguish between standard EB and EB + the ARM11MPCore tile. The platform.h file contains common definitions to the RealView platforms and it is only directly included in board-*.h files. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds dummy local timers for each CPU so that the board clock device is used to broadcast events to the other CPUs. The patch also adds the declaration for the dummy_timer_setup function (the equivalent of local_timer_setup when CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS is not set). Due to the way clockevents work, the dummy timer on the first CPU has to be registered before the board timer. Signed-off-by:
