We must use the "a" (allocate) attribute every time we
emit an entry into the __ex_table section.
For consistency, use "a" instead of #alloc which is some
Solaris compat cruft GNU as provides on Sparc.

The change to kernel/sched.c's init code to use for_each_cpu()
requires that the cpu_possible_map be setup much earlier.
Set it up via setup_arch(), constrained to NR_CPUS, and later
constrain it to max_cpus in smp_prepare_cpus().
This fixes SMP booting on sparc64.

Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.
In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.
This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages. Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

Several counters already have the need to use 64 atomic variables on 64 bit
platforms (see mm_counter_t in sched.h). We have to do ugly ifdefs to fall
back to 32 bit atomic on 32 bit platforms.
The VM statistics patch that I am working on will also make more extensive
use of atomic64.
This patch introduces a new type atomic_long_t by providing definitions in
asm-generic/atomic.h that works similar to the c "long" type. Its 32 bits
on 32 bit platforms and 64 bits on 64 bit platforms.
Also cleans up the determination of the mm_counter_t in sched.h.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

sparc64 is unique among architectures in taking the page_table_lock in
its context switch (well, cris does too, but erroneously, and it's not
yet SMP anyway).
This seems to be a private affair between switch_mm and activate_mm,
using page_table_lock as a per-mm lock, without any relation to its uses
elsewhere. That's fine, but comment it as such; and unlock sooner in
switch_mm, more like in activate_mm (preemption is disabled here).
There is a block of "if (0)"ed code in smp_flush_tlb_pending which would
have liked to rely on the page_table_lock, in switch_mm and elsewhere;
but its comment explains how dup_mmap's flush_tlb_mm defeated it. And
though that could have been changed at any time over the past few years,
now the chance vanishes as we push the page_table_lock downwards, and
perhaps split it per page table page. Just delete that block of code.
Which leaves the mysterious spin_unlock_wait(&oldmm->page_table_lock)
in kernel/fork.c copy_mm. Textual analysis (supported by Nick Piggin)
suggests that the comment was written by DaveM, and that it relates to
the defeated approach in the sparc64 smp_flush_tlb_pending. Just delete
this block too.

The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch
statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures.
This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as
arch_ptrace.
Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them.
They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a
sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call.
For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but

zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then
tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss. That got stranger when I
added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and
anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros. And it would no
longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the
mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock.
Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own
business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was
some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that). And
forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative
- if rss does go negative, just fix that bug.
Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use
was being made of them. But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the
way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush. arm26 seems to prefer
spaces to tabs here: respect that.

tlb_is_full_mm? What does that mean? The TLB is full? No, it means that the
mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down. And it's an
inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better)
"tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm".
And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers
directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64. Rather than
correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change

tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses
smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather. That works
because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not
dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu. But don't rely on that, it
will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in
tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

At boot time, determine the D-cache, I-cache and E-cache size and
line-size. Use them in cache flushes when appropriate.
This change was motivated by discovering that the D-cache on
UltraSparc-IIIi and later are 64K not 32K, and the flushes done by the
Cheetah error handlers were assuming a 32K size.
There are still some pieces of code that are hard coding things and
will need to be fixed up at some point.
While we're here, fix the D-cache and I-cache parity error handlers
to run with interrupts disabled, and when the trap occurs at trap
level > 1 log the event via a counter displayed in /proc/cpuinfo.

The trick is that we do the kernel linear mapping TLB miss starting
with an instruction sequence like this:
ba,pt %xcc, kvmap_load
xor %g2, %g4, %g5
succeeded by an instruction sequence which performs a full page table
walk starting at swapper_pg_dir.
We first take over the trap table from the firmware. Then, using this
constant PTE generation for the linear mapping area above, we build
the kernel page tables for the linear mapping.
After this is setup, we patch that branch above into a "nop", which
will cause TLB misses to fall through to the full page table walk.
With this, the page unmapping for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is trivial.

Instead of all of this cpu-specific code to remap the kernel
to the correct location, use portable firmware calls to do
this instead.
What we do now is the following in position independant
assembler:
chosen_node = prom_finddevice("/chosen");
prom_mmu_ihandle_cache = prom_getint(chosen_node, "mmu");
vaddr = 4MB_ALIGN(current_text_addr());
prom_translate(vaddr, &paddr_high, &paddr_low, &mode);
prom_boot_mapping_mode = mode;
prom_boot_mapping_phys_high = paddr_high;
prom_boot_mapping_phys_low = paddr_low;
prom_map(-1, 8 * 1024 * 1024, KERNBASE, paddr_low);
and that replaces the massive amount of by-hand TLB probing and
programming we used to do here.
The new code should also handle properly the case where the kernel
is mapped at the correct address already (think: future kexec
support).
Consequently, the bulk of remap_kernel() dies as does the entirety
of arch/sparc64/prom/map.S
We try to share some strings in the PROM library with the ones used
at bootup, and while we're here mark input strings to oplib.h routines
with "const" when appropriate.
There are many more simplifications now possible. For one thing, we
can consolidate the two copies we now have of a lot of cpu setup code
sitting in head.S and trampoline.S.
This is a significant step towards CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support.

As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit
4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721 introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied
along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed.
However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC
warns about.
Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id).
$ git-diff-tree -r HEAD
and
$ git-ls-tree -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce1424bc390608326240be369eb13aa648
may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've
just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version
of this file.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:
- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.
The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:
include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16
I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h
/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
* builds the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.

All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.
arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
crosscompilers. m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
be mostly fine.
From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org>
Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build
non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.
If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).

There were three changes necessary in order to allow
sparc64 to use setup-res.c:
1) Sparc64 roots the PCI I/O and MEM address space using
parent resources contained in the PCI controller structure.
I'm actually surprised no other platforms do this, especially
ones like Alpha and PPC{,64}. These resources get linked into the
iomem/ioport tree when PCI controllers are probed.
So the hierarchy looks like this:
iomem --|
PCI controller 1 MEM space --|
device 1
device 2
etc.
PCI controller 2 MEM space --|
...
ioport --|
PCI controller 1 IO space --|
...
PCI controller 2 IO space --|
...
You get the idea. The drivers/pci/setup-res.c code allocates
using plain iomem_space and ioport_space as the root, so that
wouldn't work with the above setup.
So I added a pcibios_select_root() that is used to handle this.
It uses the PCI controller struct's io_space and mem_space on
sparc64, and io{port,mem}_resource on every other platform to
keep current behavior.
2) quirk_io_region() is buggy. It takes in raw BUS view addresses
and tries to use them as a PCI resource.
pci_claim_resource() expects the resource to be fully formed when
it gets called. The sparc64 implementation would do the translation
but that's absolutely wrong, because if the same resource gets
released then re-claimed we'll adjust things twice.
So I fixed up quirk_io_region() to do the proper pcibios_bus_to_resource()
conversion before passing it on to pci_claim_resource().
3) I was mistakedly __init'ing the function methods the PCI controller
drivers provide on sparc64 to implement some parts of these
routines. This was, of course, easy to fix.
So we end up with the following, and that nasty SPARC64 makefile
ifdef in drivers/pci/Makefile is finally zapped.

Since GCC has to emit a call and a delay slot to the
out-of-line "membar" routines in arch/sparc64/lib/mb.S
it is much better to just do the necessary predicted
branch inline instead as:
ba,pt %xcc, 1f
membar #whatever
1:
instead of the current:
call membar_foo
dslot
because this way GCC is not required to allocate a stack
frame if the function can be a leaf function.
This also makes this bug fix easier to backport to 2.4.x

When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
bugs along the way.
compat type type in compat arch
__compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t
__compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t
compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t
The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter
(which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of
the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it
attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by
the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually
the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes
the waiter again.
Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal
to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were
redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked
contended).
Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in
pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of
lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at
that time:
The number is value in cv->__data.__lock.
thr1 thr2 thr3
0 pthread_cond_wait
1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock)
0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval)
0 pthread_cond_signal
1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
1 pthread_cond_signal
2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2)
2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock)
# FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE
2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock)
0 cv->__data.__lock = 0
0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1)
1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock)
# Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting
# on the internal cv's lock
Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal,
but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of
these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in
pthread_cond_*wait.
We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after
requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait.
Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do
(the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the
kernel.
I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first
one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel.
The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking
operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional
constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another
constant).
It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other
architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a
starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM
will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP. The requeue patch has been
(lightly) tested just on x86_64, the wake_op patch on ppc64 kernel running
32-bit and 64-bit NPTL and x86_64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL.
With the following benchmark on UP x86-64 I get:

Will post a new version (just x86-64 fixes so that the patch
applies against pthread_cond_signal.S) to libc-hacker ml soon.
Attached is the kernel FUTEX_WAKE_OP patch as well as a simple-minded
testcase that will not test the atomicity of the operation, but at least
check if the threads that should have been woken up are woken up and
whether the arithmetic operation in the kernel gave the expected results.

that the processor could just loop taking the same

In the process, much consolidation became possible,

This was the main impetus behind adding the PCI IRQ shim.
In order to properly order DMA writes wrt. interrupts, you have to
write to a PCI controller register, then poll for that bit clearing.
There is one bit for each interrupt source, and setting this register
bit tells Tomatillo to drain all pending DMA from that device.
Furthermore, Tomatillo's with revision less than 4 require us to do a
block store due to some memory transaction ordering issues it has on
JBUS.

This allows a PCI controller to shim into IRQ delivery
so that DMA queues can be drained, if necessary.
If some bus specific code needs to run before an IRQ
handler is invoked, the bus driver simply needs to setup
the function pointer in bucket->irq_info->pre_handler and
the two args bucket->irq_info->pre_handler_arg[12].
The Schizo PCI driver is converted over to use a pre-handler
for the DMA write-sync processing it needs when a device
is behind a PCI->PCI bus deeper than the top-level APB
bridges.
While we're here, clean up all of the action allocation
and handling. Now, we allocate the irqaction as part of
the bucket->irq_info area. There is an array of 4 irqaction
(for PCI irq sharing) and a bitmask saying which entries
are active.
The bucket->irq_info is allocated at build_irq() time, not
at request_irq() time. This simplifies request_irq() and
free_irq() tremendously.
The SMP dynamic IRQ retargetting code got removed in this
change too. It was disabled for a few months now, and we
can resurrect it in the future if we want.

After seeing, at best, "guesses" as to the following kind

PCI. There are three forms of the advice:
1) Burst as much as possible, it is not necessary to end bursts
on some particular boundary for best performance.
2) Burst on some byte count multiple. A DMA burst to some multiple of
number of bytes may be done, but it is important to end the burst
on an exact multiple for best performance.
The best example of this I am aware of are the PPC64 PCI
controllers, where if you end a burst mid-cacheline then
chip has to refetch the data and the IOMMU translations
which hurts performance a lot.
3) Burst on a single byte count multiple. Bursts shall end
exactly on the next multiple boundary for best performance.
Sparc64 and Alpha's PCI controllers operate this way. They
disconnect any device which tries to burst across a cacheline
boundary.
Actually, newer sparc64 PCI controllers do not have this behavior.
That is why the "pdev" is passed into the interface, so I can
add code later to check which PCI controller the system is using
and give advice accordingly.

In particular, avoid membar instructions in the delay
slot of a jmpl instruction.
UltraSPARC-I, II, IIi, and IIe have a bug, documented in
the UltraSPARC-IIi User's Manual, Appendix K, Erratum 51
The long and short of it is that if the IMU unit misses
on a branch or jmpl, and there is a store buffer synchronizing
membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.
If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the
chip will unwedge itself, but performance will suffer.
We already had a workaround for this bug in a few spots, but
it's better to have the entire tree sanitized for this rule.

Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.
Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag). This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.

2.6.12-rc6-mm1 has a few remaining synchronize_kernel()s, some (but not
all) in comments. This patch changes these synchronize_kernel() calls (and
comments) to synchronize_rcu() or synchronize_sched() as follows:
- arch/x86_64/kernel/mce.c mce_read(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with machine-check exceptions (synchronize_rcu() would not cut
it given RCU implementations intended for hardcore realtime use.
- drivers/input/serio/i8042.c i8042_stop(): change to synchronize_sched() to
handle races with i8042_interrupt() interrupt handler. Again,
synchronize_rcu() would not cut it given RCU implementations intended for
hardcore realtime use.
- include/*/kdebug.h comments: change to synchronize_sched() to handle races
with NMIs. As before, synchronize_rcu() would not cut it...
- include/linux/list.h comment: change to synchronize_rcu(), since this
comment is for list_del_rcu().
- security/keys/key.c unregister_key_type(): change to synchronize_rcu(),
since this is interacting with RCU read side.
- security/keys/process_keys.c install_session_keyring(): change to
synchronize_rcu(), since this is interacting with RCU read side.

The preempt_count member of struct thread_info is currently either defined
as int, unsigned int or __s32 depending on arch. This patch makes the type
of preempt_count an int on all archs.
Having preempt_count be an unsigned type prevents the catching of
preempt_count < 0 bugs, and using int on some archs and __s32 on others is
not exactely "neat" - much nicer when it's just int all over.
A previous version of this patch was already ACK'ed by Robert Love, and the
only change in this version of the patch compared to the one he ACK'ed is
that this one also makes sure the preempt_count member is consistently
commented.

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
Notes:
- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
analagous to set_pte()
- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.
Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.
In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().
Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.
I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

The implementation is optimal for UltraSPARC-III and later.
It will work, however suboptimally, on UltraSPARC-II and
be treated as a NOP on UltraSPARC-I.
It is not worth code patching this thing as the highest cost
is the code space, and code patching cannot eliminate that.

When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
GART. This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.
Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
the GATT. Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
the point of view of the GART.
These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
architectures that use the GART driver.

Firstly, if the direction is TODEVICE, then dirty data in the
streaming cache is impossible so we can elide the flush-flag
synchronization in that case.
Next, the context allocator is broken. It is highly likely
that contexts get used multiple times for different dma
mappings, which confuses the strbuf flushing code and makes
it run inefficiently.

Older UltraSPARC-III chips have a P-Cache bug that makes us disable it
by default at boot time.
However, this does hurt performance substantially, particularly with
memcpy(), and the bug is _incredibly_ obscure. I have never seen it
triggered in practice, ever.
So provide a "-P" boot option that forces the P-Cache on. It taints
the kernel, so if it does trigger and cause some data corruption or
OOPS, we will find out in the logs that this option was on when it
happened.

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.
Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.

This allows userspace to be much less messy. Currently
util-linux and other spots jump through hoops trying

Eventually all of this should move over to the genrtc.c

We were flushing the D-cache excessively for ptrace() processing
and this makes debugging threads so slow as to be totally unusable.
All process page accesses via ptrace() go via access_process_vm().
This routine, for each process page, uses get_user_pages(). That
in turn does a flush_dcache_page() on the child pages before we
copy in/out the ptrace request data.
Therefore, all we need to do after the data movement is:
1) Flush the D-cache pages if the kernel maps the page to a different
color than userspace does.
2) If we wrote to the page, we need to flush the I-cache on older cpus.
Previously we just flushed the entire cache at the end of a ptrace()
request, and that was beyond stupid.
