improve the sysbench ramp-up phase and its peak throughput on a 16way NUMA box, by turning on WAKE_AFFINE: tip/sched tip/sched+wake-affine ------------------------------------------------- 1: 700 830 +15.65% 2: 1465 1391 -5.28% 4: 3017 3105 +2.81% 8: 5100 6021 +15.30% 16: 10725 10745 +0.19% 32: 10135 10150 +0.16% 64: 9338 9240 -1.06% 128: 8599 8252 -4.21% 256: 8475 8144 -4.07% ------------------------------------------------- SUM: 57558 57882 +0.56% this change also improves lat_ctx from 6.69 usecs to 1.11 usec: $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 "size=0k ovr=1.19 2 1.11 $ ./lat_ctx -s 0 2 "size=0k ovr=1.22 2 6.69 in sysbench it's an overall win with some weakness at the lots-of-clients side. That happens because we now under-balance this workload a bit. To counter that effect, turn on NEWIDLE: wake-idle wake-idle+newidle ------------------------------------------------- 1: 830 834 +0.43% 2: 1391 1401 +0.65% 4: 3105 3091 -0.43% 8: 6021 6046 +0.42% 16: 10745 10736 -0.08% 32: 10150 10206 +0.55% 64: 9240 9533 +3.08% 128: 8252 8355 +1.24% 256: 8144 8384 +2.87% ------------------------------------------------- SUM: 57882 58591 +1.21% as a bonus this not only improves the many-clients case but also improves the (more important) rampup phase. sysbench is a workload that quickly breaks down if the scheduler over-balances, so since it showed an improvement under NEWIDLE this change is definitely good.

Specify the minimum slab/kmalloc alignment to be 8 bytes. This fixes a crash when SLOB is selected as the memory allocator. The FRV arch needs this so that it can use the load- and store-double instructions without faulting. By default SLOB sets the minimum to be 4 bytes.

Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks being corrupted when multiple users issue message notes at the same time. Make the buffers dynamically allocated when the trace is setup and make them per-cpu instead. The default max message size of 1k is also very large, the interface is mainly for small text notes. So shrink it to 128 bytes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

According to the PCI Express specification, we must wait for at least 1 second after turning power off before taking any action that relies on power having been removed from the slot/adapter. For this, current pciehp wait for 1 second after issuing the power off command in hpc_power_off_slot() function. But waiting for 1 second in hpc_power_off_slot() can make pciehp probing slow-down because pciehp probe code calls hpc_power_off_slot() if the slot is not occupied just in case. We don't need to wait for 1 second at the pciehp probe time because there is no action on that empty slot. So move 1 second wait from hpc_power_off_slot() to the caller of hpc_power_off_slot().

Fix improper long wait for command completion in pciehp probing. As described in PCI Express specification, software notification is not generated if the command that occurs as a result of a write to the Slot Control register that disables software notification of command completed events. Since pciehp driver doesn't take it into account, such command is issued in pciehp probing, and it causes improper long wait for command completion. This patch changes the pciehp driver to take such command into account.

Fix the "pciehp probing slow" problem reported from Jan C. Nordholz in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10751. The command completed bit in Slot Status register applies only to commands issued to control the attention indicator, power indicator, power controller, or electromechanical interlock. However, writes to other parts of the Slot Control register would end up writing to the control fields. Hence, any write to Slot Control register is considered as a command. However, if the controller doesn't support any of attention indicator, power indicator, power controller and electromechanical interlock, command completed bit would not set in writing to Slot Control register. In this case, we should not wait for command completed bit set, otherwise all commands would be considered not completed in timeout seconds (1 sec.). The cause of the problem is pciehp driver didn't take this situation into account. This patch changes pciehp to take it into account. This patch also add the check for "No Command Completed Support" bit in Slot Capability register. If it is set, we should not wait for command completed bit set as well. This problem seems to be revealed by the commit c27fb883 that fixed the bug that pciehp did not wait for command completed properly (pciehp just ignored the command completion event).

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE) state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation fault and invalid RSE state. Such faults may initiate a cascade of repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers. The specific behavior is OS dependent. Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults and an eventual OS stack overflow condition. Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series of illegal operation faults. The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it would also remove the need for this patch). Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some corner cases. The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y Move it out to the end of the ivt.

Based on Roland's patch. This approach was suggested by Austin Clements from the very beginning, and then by Linus. As Austin pointed out, the execing task can be killed by SI_TIMER signal because exec flushes the signal handlers, but doesn't discard the pending signals generated by posix timers. Perhaps not a bug, but people find this surprising.

Currently sigqueue_free() removes sigqueue from list, but doesn't cancel the pending signal. This is not consistent, the task should either receive the "full" signal along with siginfo_t, or it shouldn't receive the signal at all. Change sigqueue_free() to clear SIGQUEUE_PREALLOC but leave sigqueue on list if it is queued. This is a user-visible change. If the signal is blocked, it stays queued after sys_timer_delete() until unblocked with the "stale" si_code/si_value, and of course it is still counted wrt RLIMIT_SIGPENDING which also limits the number of posix timers.
