Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86. Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any page table locks or even mmap_sem. Page table existence is guaranteed by turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the constraints of the TLB shootdown design). Basically we can do this lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes. This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8 core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5 "To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at 2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel. Comparing runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance benefit of ~9.8%. Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from __up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%. Monitoring the /proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was zero." (fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked). The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each issuing direct-IO. Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks. I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases. In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain. The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work. However this should not be the common case in most performance critical code.

This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec. This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for following: - A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can kexec a hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system via ordinary kexec load then jump back. - Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make system snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot. - Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch between several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time. This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in. - A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux. The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump: - kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 - makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-src_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-patches_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile_cvs_kh10 - An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded from the following URL: initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image. Usage example of simple hibernation: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in following text. 3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called hibernating partition in following text. 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A). 5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000 --mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz 6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e 7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as follow: jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='` echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf Then you can shutdown the machine as normal. 8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as root file system. 9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf 10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -e Then, kernel A is resumed. Implementation point: To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing) the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to implement corresponding function. Known issues: - Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited, hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

This patch provides an enhancement to kexec/kdump. It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump.

Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds functionality to the gpio-lib subsystem to make it possible to enable the gpio-lib code even if the architecture code didn't request to get it built in. The archtitecture code does still need to implement the gpiolib accessor functions in its asm/gpio.h file. This patch adds the implementations for x86 and PPC. With these changes it is possible to run generic GPIO expansion cards on every architecture that implements the trivial wrapper functions. Support for more architectures can easily be added.

In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently. This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures. Also add some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended use of this symbol. Signed-off-by:

* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed before there are per_cpu areas allocated. ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu areas have been setup".] This patchset adds these new macros: DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue) EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name) DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name) early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx) early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable. The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to access the variable if you have a function that can be called both "early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used instead: #define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) \ (early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ? \ early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] : \ per_cpu(_name, _cpu)) A better method is to actually check the pointer manually. In the case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late": void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node) { int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map); if (cpu_to_node_map) cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node; else per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node; } * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack. * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while the non-debug case has been optimized a bit. * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as requested by Robert Millan). This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list. Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware. There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because PCI_GOANY wasn't supported). Signed-off-by:

init/Kconfig contains a list of configs that are searched for if 'make *config' are used with no .config present. Extend this list to look at the config identified by ARCH_DEFCONFIG. With this change we now try the defconfig targets last. This fixes a regression reported by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by:

Loop through mtrr chunk_size and gran_size from 1M to 2G to find out the optimal value so user does not need to add mtrr_chunk_size and mtrr_gran_size to the kernel command line. If optimal value is not found, print out all list to help select less optimal value. Add mtrr_spare_reg_nr= so user could set 2 instead of 1, if the card need more entries. v2: find the one with more spare entries v3: fix hole_basek offset v4: tight the compare between range and range_new loop stop with 4g Signed-off-by:
