Sadly, I goofed in this syscall-tuning patch: ChangeSet 1.1966.1.40 2005/01/22 13:31:05 davidm@hpl.hp.com [IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores. Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores. The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3. Good for a 13 cycle improvement. The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17). Since r17 by coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning rse_clear_invalid into a no-op. That poses the risk of leaking kernel state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable. The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles in syscall overhead. ;-( Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those registers have to be cleared one way or another. --david Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

This fixes a couple of bugs in the zx1/sx1000 sba_iommu. These are all pretty low likelihood of hitting. The first problem is a simple off by one, deep in the sba_alloc_range() error path. Surrounding that was a lock ordering problem that could have potentially deadlocked with the order the locks are grabbed in sba_unmap_single(). I moved the resource locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this. Finally, there's a potential race between unmapping pdir entries and marking incoming DMA pages clean. If you see any oddities, please let me know, but I've tested it pretty thoroughly here. Tony, please apply. Thanks, BTW, many of the options in this driver not on by default are becoming more and more broken. I'll be working on some patches to clean them out, but I wanted to get this bug fix out first.

This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines. This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file. This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations. It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a cpus quicklist. This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping or exiting. With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page table cache flushing will never occur. I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without this patch and did not notice any change. On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting the run. I did not investigate further. This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node instead of the high/low water marks. I have written it to enable preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown. I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

This patch adds the necessary "hook" to allow SGI/SN machines to perform a system power off upon a 'init 0', 'halt -p', 'poweroff' or 'shutdown -h'. The "hook" is to set the pm_power_off callback to ia64_sn_power_down(). pm_power_off is checked in machine_power_off()/do_poweroff() and, if set, is executed. ia64_sn_power_down() is a function already present (but not used currently) in the sn kernel. ia64_sn_power_down() makes a SAL call to execute the power off.

- make pfm_sysctl a global such that it is possible to enable/disable debug printk in sampling formats using PFM_DEBUG. - remove unused pfm_debug_var variable - fix a bug in pfm_handle_work where an BUG_ON() could be triggered. There is a path where pfm_handle_work() can be called with interrupts enabled, i.e., when TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set. The fix correct the masking and unmasking of interrupts in pfm_handle_work() such that we restore the interrupt mask as it was upon entry. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Recently I noticed that clearing ar.ssd/ar.csd right before srlz.d is causing significant stalling in the syscall path. The patch below fixes that by moving the register-writes after srlz.d. On a Madison, this drops break-based getpid() from 241 to 226 cycles (-15 cycles). Signed-off-by: David Mosberger-Tang <davidm@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK set, instead of a user space IP. Tighten up the last ditch check for running off the top of the kernel stack. Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current tree. This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels. Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so gdb can get the user space registers. Signed-off-by: Keith Owens <kaos@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Change the value of the SAL call number for a new SAL request. The initial implementation in the PROM did not match what the OS expected. Since the OS can run on PROMs that do not implement the new call, changing the call number avoids the issue. New PROMs will implement the new call number. (This avoids problems with the 4.05 PROM).

The sparc32 ksyms is missing a few more symbols, these are primarily related to SMP, and will be needed as SMP gets beaten back into functionality. Specifically, add __cpu_data (PER_CPU), cpu_online_map, and phys_cpu_present_map. This patch assumes that the earlier "linux-2.6.11-sparc-fixksyms.patch" is applied, otherwise, it will apply with fuzz.

Using the same logic as the other framebuffer fixes committed in 2.6.11, this is a set of fixes to make TCX functional on the console again. Adds the tcx_pan_display function, sets the all->info.var.{red,green,blue}.length values to 8, and runs fb_set_cmap. Also looks for the correct SUNW,tcx prom value.
