Too many remote cpu references due to /proc/stat. On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem. On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all online cpus. Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config. /proc/stat is parsed by common commands like top, who etc, causing lots of cacheline transfers This statistic seems useless. Other 'big iron' arches disable this. AK: changed to remove for all SMP setups AK: add comment Signed-off-by:

The current SMI detection logic in read_hpet_tsc() makes sure, that when a SMI happens between the read of the HPET counter and the read of the TSC, this wrong value is used for TSC calibration. This is not the intention of the function. The comparison must ensure, that we do _NOT_ use such a value. Fix the check to use calibration values where delta of the two TSC reads is smaller than a reasonable threshold. Signed-off-by:

This implements new vDSO for x86-64. The concept is similar to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC. x86-64 has had static vsyscalls before, but these are not flexible enough anymore. A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into user address space. The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process for security reasons. Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write. The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0 It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster than the one in the old vsyscall. clock_gettime is significantly faster than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME. The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall. Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls: - Extensible - Randomized - Cleaner - Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it) Weak points: - glibc support still to be written The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.

gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc will try to generate smaller code for the function itself. Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most cases it is not worth uglifying code with this. This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk() as cold. This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although we can keep them for now for older compilers. BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell gcc to mark a inline function told. Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels, but that might change in the future. One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented to verify them. Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this. Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are unreleased compilers that nobody should be using. gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os, if that happens it should be added. Includes compile fix from Thomas Gleixner.

The compiler generally generates reasonable inline code for the simple cases and for the rest it's better for code size for them to be out of line. Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future. In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure assembly, but that's for another day. Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems to be the last untouched really early Linux code) This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1. Signed-off-by:

In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa <= 0, meaning we haven't detected any underlying ACPI topology or we have explicitly disabled its use from the command-line with numa=noacpi. acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and remove their prototypes from the header file. Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs from the header file. The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's removed. Signed-off-by:

Linux 64bit only uses the IO-APIC ID as an internal cookie. In the future there could be some cases where the IO-APIC IDs are not unique because they share an 8 bit space with CPUs and if there are enough CPUs it is difficult to get them that. But Linux needs the io apic ID internally for its data structures. Assign unique IO APIC ids on table parsing. TBD do for 32bit too Signed-off-by:

Fixes STN LCD support for the atmel_lcdfb framebuffer driver. This patch is the result of a work from Jan Altenberg and has been tested on a Hitachi SP06Q002 on at91sam9261ek. It adds a Kconfig switch that enables the proper LCD in the board configuration file (STN or TFT). The switch is used in arch/arm/mach-at91/at91sam9261_devices.c & board-sam9261ek.c as an example. This patch includes the "Fix wrong line_length calculation" little one from Jan and Haavard (submitted earlier). AT91 platform informations are directly submitted trough the at91 maintainer, here : http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/543158Signed-off-by:

This patch adds support for the Simtek STK17TA8 timekeeping chip. The STK17TA8 is quite similar to the DS1553, but differs in register layout and in various control bits in the registers. I chose to make this a new driver to avoid confusion in the code and to not get lost in #ifdefs. Signed-off-by:
