2008-07-25kbuild: sparse needs CF not CHECKFLAGSGeert Uytterhoeven
Documentation/sparse.txt tells to use: make C=2 CHECKFLAGS="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__" However, this still doesn't enable endian checks. The correct syntax is: make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__" This documentation bug was introduced by the following commit: commit 1c7bafe7206d928eaccbcbd08d868733e0fb7054 Author: Robert P. J.

2008-07-25vmlinux.lds: move __attribute__((__cold__)) functions back into final .text ↵Jan Beulich
section Due to the addition of __attribute__((__cold__)) to a few symbols without adjusting the linker scripts, those symbols currently may end up outside the [_stext,_etext) range, as they get placed in .text.unlikely by (at least) gcc 4.3.0. This may confuse code not only outside of the kernel, symbol_put_addr()'s BUG() could also trigger. Hence we need to add .text.unlikely (and for future uses of __attribute__((__hot__)) also .text.hot) to the TEXT_TEXT() macro. Issue observed by Lukas Lipavsky.

2008-07-25kbuild: add arch/$ARCH/include to search pathSam Ravnborg
This patch conclude the support for arch/$ARCH/include Note: The individual architectures will most likely require a few minor patches to support locating header files in arch/$ARCH/include Testing shows that it worked out-of-the-box for sparc. x86 required a few trivial changes in the arch specific Makefile and a few include paths had to be adjusted.

2008-07-25kbuild: optimize headers_* targetsSam Ravnborg
Move the core functionality of headers_install and headers_check to two small perl scripts. The makefile is adapted to use the perl scrip and changed to operate on all files in a directory. So if one file is changed then all files in the directory is processed. perl were chosen for the helper scripts because this is pure text processing which perl is good at and especially the headers_check.pl script are expected to see changes / new checks implmented. The speed is ~300% faster on this box. And the output generated to the screen is now down to two lines per directory (one for install, one for check) so it is easier to scroll back after a kernel build. The perl scripts has been brought to sanity by patient feedback from: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
2008-07-25kbuild: only one call for include/ in make headers_*Sam Ravnborg
Move it to the top-level file to decide if we install/check the generic headers or the arch specific headers. This revealed a long standing bug where "make headers_check_all" relied on the files in asm/ for the current architecture. So make headers_check_all is now broken by this commit. In addition: o add a simpler way to detect if an arch support exporting header files. o add 'set -e;' so we error out early if make headers_check_all fails. o add sparc64 and cris to arch we do not process in make headers_*_all because: sparc64 - use sparc to export headers cris - is know seriously broken Includes suggestions from: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>.

2008-07-25edac: core fix added newline to sysfs dimm labelsArthur Jones
The channel DIMM label does not seem to be used much in the edac code. However, where it is used (in the core code), it is assumed to not have a newline embedded. This leaves the sysfs file newline free which looks funny when cat'ing it. Here we just add the trailing newline to the sysfs chX_dimm_label output... [Doug Thompson note: the DIMM label is one of the primary uses of EDAC. User space daemon scripts, edac-utils@sourceforge, populate the DIMM label fields, via /sys/devices/system/edac attributes, with the silk screen labels of the motherboard in use. dmidecode access BIOS tables, but BIOS tables are well known to be incorrect and useless in these respects. edac-utils will strip off any newlines before its use of the output, when displaying DIMM slot silk screen labels.

When updating the edac_mc_poll_msec module parameter from the sysfs /sys/module/edac_core/parameters/edac_mc_poll_msec file, we don't update the workq timers. So that, if we move from a big poll time to a small one, the small one won't take effect until the big one has timed out. Here we provide a new module parameter set method to call out to the update routine.

2008-07-25edac: i5100 new intel chipset driverArthur Jones
Preliminary support for the Intel 5100 MCH. CE and UE errors are reported along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters. Reasons why this is preliminary: 1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory. This architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data. Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then all ranks of controller 1). Someone much more familiar with the edac core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two memory controllers. 2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller address space into the physical address space of the CPU. There is nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't work yet... 3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard chip select mapping. This mapping seems obvious to me in order to support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM labels could be wrong on other mainboards. There is no way to query this mapping that I know of. 4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode. Only 4 ranks per controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported. I do not have hardware (nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks per controller) mode. 5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real" i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.

2008-07-25fuse: add export operationsMiklos Szeredi
Implement export_operations, to allow fuse filesystems to be exported to NFS. This feature has been in the out-of-tree fuse module, and is widely used and tested. It has not been originally merged into mainline, because doing the NFS export in userspace was thought to be a cleaner and more efficient way of doing it, than through the kernel. While that is true, it would also have involved a lot of duplicated effort at reimplementing NFS exporting (all the different versions of the protocol). This effort was unfortunately not undertaken by anyone, so we are left with doing it the easy but less efficient way. If this feature goes in, the out-of-tree fuse module can go away, which would have several advantages: - not having to maintain two versions - less confusion for users - no bugs due to kernel API changes Comment from hch: - Use the same fh_type values as XFS, since we use the same fh encoding.

This is returned by posix_lock_file() for sleeping locks to mean that the lock has been queued on the block list, and will be woken up when it might become available and needs to be retried (either fl_lmops->fl_notify() is called or fl_wait is woken up). f_op->lock() to mean either the above, or that the filesystem will call back with fl_lmops->fl_grant() when the result of the locking operation is known. The filesystem can do this for sleeping as well as non-sleeping locks. This is to make sure, that return values of -EAGAIN and -EINPROGRESS by filesystems are not mistaken to mean an asynchronous locking. This also makes error handling in fs/locks.c and lockd/svclock.c slightly cleaner. Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no> Cc: "J.

2008-07-25lockd: dont return EAGAIN for a permanent errorMiklos Szeredi
Fix nlm_fopen() to return NLM_FAILED (or NLM_LCK_DENIED_NOLOCKS) instead of NLM_LCK_DENIED. The latter means the lock request failed because of a conflicting lock (i.e. a temporary error), which is wrong in this case. Also fix the client to return ENOLCK instead of EAGAIN if a blocking lock request returns with NLM_LOCK_DENIED.

2008-07-25per-task-delay-accounting: update document and getdelays.c for memory reclaimKeika Kobayashi
Update document and make getdelays.c show delay accounting for memory reclaim. For making a distinction between "swapping in pages" and "memory reclaim" in getdelays.c, MEM is changed to SWAP.

2008-07-25per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delayKeika Kobayashi
Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load. Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory. The statistics, how long memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage. This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages(). <i.e> - When System is under low memory load, memory reclaim may not occur. $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8197800 1577300 6620500 0 4808 1516724 -/+ buffers/cache: 55768 8142032 Swap: 16386292 0 16386292 $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 26 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 4 22 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 18 0 0 100 0 Measure the time of tar command. $ ls -s test.dat 1501472 test.dat $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 0m13.388s user 0m0.116s sys 0m5.304s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 428 5528345500 5477116080 62749891 IO count delay total 338 8078977189 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 - When system is under heavy memory load memory reclaim may occur. $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 4 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49848 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 22 0 0 100 0 In this case, one process uses more 8G memory by execution of malloc() and memset(). $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 1m38.563s <- increased by 85 sec user 0m0.140s sys 0m7.060s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 9021 7140446250 7315277975 923201824 IO count delay total 8965 90466349669 SWAP count delay total 3 21036367 RECLAIM count delay total 740 61011951153 In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.
