* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6:
[IA64] Fix build breakage
|
|
In commit 0ac0c0d0f837c499afd02a802f9cf52d3027fa3b
cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
Jack Steiner fixed a problem with too many small tasks being
assigned to node 0. Copy his code to ia64 to avoid build error.
arch/ia64/kernel/smpboot.c:641: error: ‘cpu_to_node_map’ undeclared (first use in this function)
In commit 3bccd996276b108c138e8176793a26ecef54d573
numa: ia64: use generic percpu var numa_node_id() implementation
Lee Schermerhorn added some set_numa_node() calls - but these
only work on CONFIG_NUMA=y configurations. Surround the calls
with #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA

Read only one of the GPIO pins as an analog voltage. The ADC can be
switched to a different GPIO pin at runtime, but this is not supported.
Previously, this driver would report the analog voltage of the currently
selected GPIO pin as all three GPIO voltages: in9_input, in10_input and
in11_input.

Fixes from my driver review:
http://lists.lm-sensors.org/pipermail/lm-sensors/2010-March/028051.html
Only the small changes are in there, more important changes will come
later separately as time permits.
* Drop the remnants of the now gone detect function
* The TMP102 has no known compatible chip
* Include the right header files
* Clarify why byte swapping of register values is needed
* Strip resolution info bit from temperature register value
* Set cache lifetime to 1/3 second
* Don't arbitrarily reject limit values; clamp as needed
* Make limit writing unconditional
* Don't check for transaction types the driver doesn't use
* Properly check for error when setting configuration
* Report error on failed probe
* Make the driver load automatically where needed
* Various other minor fixes

Driver for the TI TMP102.
The TI TMP102 is similar to the LM75. It differs from the LM75 by
having a 16-bit conf register and the temp registers have a minimum
resolution of 12 bits; the extended conf register can select 13-bit
resolution (which this driver does) and also change the update rate
(which this driver currently doesn't use).
[JD: Fix tmp102_exit tag, must be __exit, not __init.]

The Apple SMC uses a systematic labeling scheme for the hardware
temperature sensors. This scheme is currently hidden from
userland. Since the sensor set, and consequently the numbering,
differs between models, an extensive database of configurations is
required for an application such as fan control. This patch adds the
SMC labels to the hwmon sysfs interface, allowing applications to use
the sensors more intelligibly.

When the user passes the kernel parameter acpi_enforce_resources=lax,
the ACPI resources are no longer protected, so a native driver can
make use of them. In that case, we do not want the asus_atk0110 to be
loaded. Unfortunately, this driver loads automatically due to its
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, so the user ends up with two drivers loaded for
the same device - this is bad.
So I suggest that we prevent the asus_atk0110 driver from loading if
acpi_enforce_resources=lax.

Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes. He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation. Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support. At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.
Let the games begin.

Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()":
The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes
well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never
succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and
for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to
numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache
allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier
kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized].
This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return
the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the
first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node
that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache
these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation.
N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could
change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent
changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush
all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the
"machine" is held in the stopped state.
Performance impact on "hackbench 400 process 200"

The slowdown of the patched kernel from ~12 sec to ~28 seconds when
configured with memoryless nodes is the result of all cpus allocating from
a single node's mm pagepool. The cache lines of the single node are
distributed/interleaved over the memory of the real physical nodes, but
the zone lock, list heads, ... of the single node with memory still each
live in a single cache line that is accessed from all processors.

Enable 'HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES' by default when NUMA configured on ia64.
Initialize percpu 'numa_mem' variable when starting secondary cpus.
Generic initialization will handle the boot cpu.
Nothing uses 'numa_mem_id()' yet. Subsequent patch with modify slab to
use this.

Introduce numa_mem_id(), based on generic percpu variable infrastructure
to track "nearest node with memory" for archs that support memoryless
nodes.
Define API in <linux/topology.h> when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
defined, else stubs. Architectures will define HAVE_MEMORYLESS_NODES
if/when they support them.
Archs can override definitions of:
numa_mem_id() - returns node number of "local memory" node
set_numa_mem() - initialize [this cpus'] per cpu variable 'numa_mem'
cpu_to_mem() - return numa_mem for specified cpu; may be used as lvalue
Generic initialization of 'numa_mem' occurs in __build_all_zonelists().
This will initialize the boot cpu at boot time, and all cpus on change of
numa_zonelist_order, or when node or memory hot-plug requires zonelist
rebuild. Archs that support memoryless nodes will need to initialize
'numa_mem' for secondary cpus as they're brought on-line.
