Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier.
The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as
possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame
output to the card is determined at transmit time.
This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple
of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build.
Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if
necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to
"defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger
TSO frames to be emitted.
A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a
larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender
side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large
enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send
buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function
as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the
tail of the write_queue. This is because Nagle does not
apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more
data onto them.
However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes
all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified
'nonagle' value.
Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling
tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL.
As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call
tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized
__tcp_data_snd_check().

tcp_write_xmit() uses tcp_current_mss(), but some of it's callers,
namely __tcp_push_pending_frames(), already has this value available
already.
While we're here, fix the "cur_mss" argument to be "unsigned int"
instead of plain "unsigned".
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The tcp_cwnd_validate() function should only be invoked
if we actually send some frames, yet __tcp_push_pending_frames()
will always invoke it. tcp_write_xmit() does the call for us,
so the call here can simply be removed.
Also, tcp_write_xmit() can be marked static.

This just moves the code into tcp_output.c, no code logic changes are

Using this as a baseline, we can begin to untangle the mess of

On each packet output, we call tcp_dec_quickack_mode()
if the ACK flag is set. It drops tp->ack.quick until
it hits zero, at which time we deflate the ATO value.
When doing TSO, we are emitting multiple packets with
ACK set, so we should decrement tp->ack.quick that many
segments.
Note that, unlike this case, tcp_enter_cwr() should not
take the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) into consideration. That
function, one time, readjusts tp->snd_cwnd and moves
into TCP_CA_CWR state.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing
scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and
all the user data in the page array.
This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple,
especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first
time.
So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make
sure there is no skb_tailroom(). This is achieved by applying
SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here.
Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a
length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing
interface.

This is the code to load packet data into a register:
k = fentry->k;
if (k < 0) {
...
} else {
u32 _tmp, *p;
p = skb_header_pointer(skb, k, 4, &_tmp);
if (p != NULL) {
A = ntohl(*p);
continue;
}
}
skb_header_pointer checks if the requested data is within the
linear area:
int hlen = skb_headlen(skb);
if (offset + len <= hlen)
return skb->data + offset;
When offset is within [INT_MAX-len+1..INT_MAX] the addition will
result in a negative number which is <= hlen.
I couldn't trigger a crash on my AMD64 with 2GB of memory, but a
coworker tried on his x86 machine and it crashed immediately.
This patch fixes the check in skb_header_pointer to handle large
positive offsets similar to skb_copy_bits. Invalid data can still
be accessed using negative offsets (also similar to skb_copy_bits),
anyone using negative offsets needs to verify them himself.

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.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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
of information in several drivers, I decided that we really
need a way for platforms to specifically give advice in this
area for what works best with their PCI controller implementation.
Basically, this new interface gives DMA bursting advice on
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.

Old ISA/VESA systems sometimes put tertiary IDE controllers at addresses

membar in the delay slot, the chip can stop fetching instructions.
If interrupts are enabled or some other trap is enabled, the

The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements
the new PPC64 specific parts of the new function return probe design.
NOTE: Since getting Ananth's patch, I changed trampoline_probe_handler()
to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback
on my original RFC after Ananth cut a patch), and also added the
arch_init() function (adding arch specific initialization.) I have
cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine.
Changes include:
* Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
to the original return address.
* Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
kretprobe_trampoline
* Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function
that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
and returning control back at the original return address
* Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains
all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
* Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

The following is the second version of the function return probe patches
I sent out earlier this week. Changes since my last submission include:
* Fix in ppc64 code removing an unneeded call to re-enable preemption
* Fix a build problem in ia64 when kprobes was turned off
* Added another BUG_ON check to each of the architecture trampoline
handlers
My initial patch description ==>
From my experiences with adding return probes to x86_64 and ia64, and the
feedback on LKML to those patches, I think we can simplify the design
for return probes.
The following patch tweaks the original design such that:
* Instead of storing the stack address in the return probe instance, the
task pointer is stored. This gives us all we need in order to:
- find the correct return probe instance when we enter the trampoline
(even if we are recursing)
- find all left-over return probe instances when the task is going away
This has the side effect of simplifying the implementation since more
work can be done in kernel/kprobes.c since architecture specific knowledge
of the stack layout is no longer required. Specifically, we no longer have:
- arch_get_kprobe_task()
- arch_kprobe_flush_task()
- get_rp_inst_tsk()
- get_rp_inst()
- trampoline_post_handler() <see next bullet>
* Instead of splitting the return probe handling and cleanup logic across
the pre and post trampoline handlers, all the work is pushed into the
pre function (trampoline_probe_handler), and then we skip single stepping
the original function. In this case the original instruction to be single
stepped was just a NOP, and we can do without the extra interruption.
The new flow of events to having a return probe handler execute when a target
function exits is:
* At system initialization time, a kprobe is inserted at the beginning of
kretprobe_trampoline. kernel/kprobes.c use to handle this on it's own,
but ia64 needed to do this a little differently (i.e. a function pointer
is really a pointer to a structure containing the instruction pointer and
a global pointer), so I added the notion of arch_init(), so that
kernel/kprobes.c:init_kprobes() now allows architecture specific
initialization by calling arch_init() before exiting. Each architecture
now registers a kprobe on it's own trampoline function.
* register_kretprobe() will insert a kprobe at the beginning of the targeted
function with the kprobe pre_handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe
(still no change)
* When the target function is entered, the kprobe is fired, calling
arch_prepare_kretprobe (still no change)
* In arch_prepare_kretprobe() we try to get a free instance and if one is
available then we fill out the instance with a pointer to the return probe,
the original return address, and a pointer to the task structure (instead
of the stack address.) Just like before we change the return address
to the trampoline function and mark the instance as used.
If multiple return probes are registered for a given target function,
then arch_prepare_kretprobe() will get called multiple times for the same
task (since our kprobe implementation is able to handle multiple kprobes
at the same address.) Past the first call to arch_prepare_kretprobe,
we end up with the original address stored in the return probe instance
pointing to our trampoline function. (This is a significant difference
from the original arch_prepare_kretprobe design.)
* Target function executes like normal and then returns to kretprobe_trampoline.
* kprobe inserted on the first instruction of kretprobe_trampoline is fired
and calls trampoline_probe_handler() (no change here)
* trampoline_probe_handler() consumes each of the instances associated with
the current task by calling the registered handler function and marking
the instance as unused until an instance is found that has a return address
different then the trampoline function.
(change similar to my previous ia64 RFC)
* If the task is killed with some left-over return probe instances (meaning
that a target function was entered, but never returned), then we just
free any instances associated with the task. (Not much different other
then we can handle this without calling architecture specific functions.)
There is a known problem that this patch does not yet solve where
registering a return probe flush_old_exec or flush_thread will put us
in a bad state. Most likely the best way to handle this is to not allow
registering return probes on these two functions.
(Significant change)
This patch series applies to the 2.6.12-rc6-mm1 kernel, and provides:
* kernel/kprobes.c changes
* i386 patch of existing return probes implementation
* x86_64 patch of existing return probe implementation
* ia64 implementation
* ppc64 implementation (provided by Ananth)
This patch implements the architecture independant changes for a reworking
of the kprobes based function return probes design. Changes include:
* Removing functions for querying a return probe instance off a stack address
* Removing the stack_addr field from the kretprobe_instance definition,
and adding a task pointer
* Adding architecture specific initialization via arch_init()
* Removing extern definitions for the architecture trampoline functions
(this isn't needed anymore since the architecture handles the
initialization of the kprobe in the return probe trampoline function.)

I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off
completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
patch.
This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling
the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
(gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is
completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
per-cpu-safe.
The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to
disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

The Power Management Unit on PowerMacs is very sensitive to timeouts during
async message exchanges. It uses rather crude protocol based on a shift
register with an interrupt and is almost continuously exchanging messages with
the host CPU on laptops.
This patch adds a routine to the open_pic driver to be able to select a PMU
driver so that it bumps it's interrupt priority to above the normal level.
This will allow PMU interrupts to occur while another interrupt is pending,
and thus reduce the risk of machine beeing abruptly shutdown by the PMU due to
a timeout in PMU communication caused by excessive interrupt latency. The
problem is very rare, and usually just doesn't happen, but it is still useful
to make things even more robust.

This provides declarations for new requests, descriptors, and bitfields as
defined in the Wireless USB 1.0 spec. Device support will involve a new
"Wire Adapter" device class, connecting a USB Host to a cluster of wireless
USB devices. There will be two adapter types:
* Host Wireless Adapter (HWA): the downstream link is wireless, which
connects a wireless USB host to wireless USB devices (not unlike like
a hub) including to the second type of adapter.
* Device Wireless Adapter (DWA): the upstream link is wireless, for
connecting existing USB devices through wired links into the cluser.
All wireless USB devices will need persistent (and secure!) key storage, and
it's probable that Linux -- or device firmware -- will need to be involved
with that to bootstrap the initial secure key exchange.
Some user interface is required in that initial key exchange, and since the
most "hands-off" one is a wired USB link, I suspect wireless operation will
usually not be the only mode for wireless USB devices. (Plus, devices can
recharge batteries using wired USB...) All other key exchange protocols need
error prone user interactions, like copying and/or verifying keys.
It'll likely be a while before we have commercial Wireless USB hardware,
much less Linux implementations that know how to use it.

- Adjust slice values
- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
first set up the queue.
- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.
- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).
- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
could be considered sync, when they were really async.
- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling
do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal
fault.
die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the

This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms.
A couple of notes:
1) We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel
and a statically allocated stack. At kexec_prepare time we
scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we
return -ETXTBSY.
On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning)
mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO,
can be accessed in real mode. Since Linux runs with only one
zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of
magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate
pages in the source region is not feasible. Copying in virtual
means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call
hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned
kernel linear mapping. The kernel already has move to linked
location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0.
If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub
can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode.
2) The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel.
Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from
the entry point.
All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3
(most calling conventions use this register for the first
argument).
This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs.
Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain
this information other than to pass it somewhere.
A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing
the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4.
While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to
branch to this point so defining the register this is contained
in is free. A stack of unspecified size is available at r1
(also common calling convention).
All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address
0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0.
This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel
has been doing itself. (only gpr3 is defined).
Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2
in the kernel. A stub has been written to convert between them,
and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly
without any stub.
3) Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they
would not be accessible in real mode. This will allow us to
place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.

I have tweaked this patch slightly to handle an empty list
of pages to relocate passed to relocate_new_kernel. And
I have added ppc_md.machine_crash_shutdown. To keep up with
the changes in the generic kexec infrastructure.
From: Albert Herranz <albert_herranz@yahoo.es>
The following patch adds support for kexec on the ppc32 platform.
Non-OpenFirmware based platforms are likely to work directly without
additional changes on the kernel side. The kexec-tools userland package
may need to be slightly updated, though.
For OpenFirmware based machines, additional work is still needed on the
kernel side before kexec support is ready. Benjamin Herrenschmidt is
kindly working on that part.
In order for a ppc platform to use the kexec kernel services it must
implement some ppc_md hooks. Otherwise, kexec will be explicitly disabled,
as suggested by benh.
There are 3+1 new ppc_md hooks that a platform supporting kexec may
implement. Two of them are mandatory for kexec to work. See
include/asm-ppc/machdep.h for details.
- machine_kexec_prepare(image)
This function is called to make any arrangements to the image before it
is loaded.
This hook _MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec
support for that platform. Otherwise, the platform is considered to not
support kexec and the kexec_load system call will fail (that makes all
existing platforms by default non-kexec'able).
- machine_kexec_cleanup(image)
This function is called to make any cleanups on image after the loaded
image data it is freed. This hook is optional. A platform may or may
not provide this hook.
- machine_kexec(image)
This function is called to perform the _actual_ kexec. This hook
_MUST_ be provided by a platform in order to activate kexec support for
that platform.
If a platform provides machine_kexec_prepare but forgets to provide
machine_kexec, a kexec will fall back to a reboot.
A ready-to-use machine_kexec_simple() generic function is provided to,
hopefully, simplify kexec adoption for embedded platforms. A platform
may call this function from its specific machine_kexec hook, like this:
void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image)
{
machine_kexec_simple(image);
}
- machine_shutdown()
This function is called to perform any machine specific shutdowns, not
already done by drivers. This hook is optional. A platform may or may
not provide this hook.
An example (trimmed) platform specific module for a platform supporting
kexec through the existing machine_kexec_simple follows:
/* ... */
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
int myplatform_kexec_prepare(struct kimage *image)
{
/* here, we can place additional preparations
*/
return 0; /* yes, we support kexec */
}
void myplatform_kexec(struct kimage *image)
{
machine_kexec_simple(image);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */
/* ... */
void __init
platform_init(unsigned long r3, unsigned long r4,
unsigned long r5,
unsigned long r6, unsigned long r7)
{
/* ... */
#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC
ppc_md.machine_kexec_prepare =
myplatform_kexec_prepare;
ppc_md.machine_kexec =
myplatform_kexec;
#endif /* CONFIG_KEXEC */
/* ... */
}

port, and, as reported in the fastboot mailing list, it has been tested too

This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has
an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement
is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode
at boot time and to remember it. That is potentially a more accurate
method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

This patch adds a new preemption model: 'Voluntary Kernel Preemption'. The
3 models can be selected from a new menu:
(X) No Forced Preemption (Server)
( ) Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)
( ) Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)
we still default to the stock (Server) preemption model.
Voluntary preemption works by adding a cond_resched()
(reschedule-if-needed) call to every might_sleep() check. It is lighter
than CONFIG_PREEMPT - at the cost of not having as tight latencies. It
represents a different latency/complexity/overhead tradeoff.
It has no runtime impact at all if disabled. Here are size stats that show
how the various preemption models impact the kernel's size:
text data bss dec hex filename
3618774 547184 179896 4345854 424ffe vmlinux.stock
3626406 547184 179896 4353486 426dce vmlinux.voluntary +0.2%
3748414 548640 179896 4476950 445016 vmlinux.preempt +3.5%
voluntary-preempt is +0.2% of .text, preempt is +3.5%.
This feature has been tested for many months by lots of people (and it's
also included in the RHEL4 distribution and earlier variants were in Fedora
as well), and it's intended for users and distributions who dont want to
use full-blown CONFIG_PREEMPT for one reason or another.

The following patches add dynamic sched domains functionality that was
extensively discussed on lkml and lse-tech. I would like to see this added to
-mm
o The main advantage with this feature is that it ensures that the scheduler
load balacing code only balances against the cpus that are in the sched
domain as defined by an exclusive cpuset and not all of the cpus in the
system. This removes any overhead due to load balancing code trying to
pull tasks outside of the cpu exclusive cpuset only to be prevented by
the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
o cpu exclusive cpusets are useful for servers running orthogonal
workloads such as RT applications requiring low latency and HPC
applications that are throughput sensitive
o It provides a new API partition_sched_domains in sched.c
that makes dynamic sched domains possible.
o cpu_exclusive cpusets sets are now associated with a sched domain.
Which means that the users can dynamically modify the sched domains
through the cpuset file system interface
o ia64 sched domain code has been updated to support this feature as well
o Currently, this does not support hotplug. (However some of my tests
indicate hotplug+preempt is currently broken)
o I have tested it extensively on x86.
o This should have very minimal impact on performance as none of
the fast paths are affected

As well as the general goodness of code reduction, this allows the runqueues

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.

Reimplement the balance on exec balancing to be sched-domains aware. Use this
to also do balance on fork balancing. Make x86_64 do balance on fork over the
NUMA domain.
The problem that the non sched domains aware blancing became apparent on dual
core, multi socket opterons. What we want is for the new tasks to be sent to
a different socket, but more often than not, we would first load up our
sibling core, or fill two cores of a single remote socket before selecting a
new one.
This gives large improvements to STREAM on such systems.

Do CPU load averaging over a number of different intervals. Allow each
interval to be chosen by sending a parameter to source_load and target_load.
0 is instantaneous, idx > 0 returns a decaying average with the most recent
sample weighted at 2^(idx-1). To a maximum of 3 (could be easily increased).
So generally a higher number will result in more conservative balancing.

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.

This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.
In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.
In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.
Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.
This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.
The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64
-----------------------------------------
This supports logical CPU online and offline.
- Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code
is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well.
- idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup
TBD:
1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2)
2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support.
