* Memory controller: rename to Memory Resource ControllerBalbir Singh2008-03-048-26/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | Rename Memory Controller to Memory Resource Controller. Reflect the same changes in the CONFIG definition for the Memory Resource Controller. Group together the config options for Resource Counters and Memory Resource Controller.

* Kprobes: move kprobe examples to samples/Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli2008-03-047-239/+287
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/. Patch originally by Randy Dunlap. o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.25-rc3 o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently, the kprobe and jprobe examples code works for x86 and powerpc o Cleaned up unneeded #includes o Cleaned up Kconfig per Sam Ravnborg's suggestions to fix build break on archs that don't have kretprobes o Implemented suggestions by Mathieu Desnoyers on CONFIG_KRETPROBES o Included Andrew Morton's cleanup based on x86-git o Modified kretprobe_example to act as a arch-agnostic module to determine routine execution times: Use 'modprobe kretprobe_example func=<func_name>' to determine execution time of func_name in nanoseconds.

* Kprobes: indicate kretprobe support in KconfigAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2008-03-0415-16/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add CONFIG_HAVE_KRETPROBES to the arch/<arch>/Kconfig file for relevant architectures with kprobes support. This facilitates easy handling of in-kernel modules (like samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c) that depend on kretprobes being present in the kernel. Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for helping make the patch more lean. Per Mathieu's suggestion, added CONFIG_KRETPROBES and fixed up dependencies.

* VT notifier fix for VT switchSamuel Thibault2008-03-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VT notifier callbacks need to be aware of console switches. This is already partially done from console_callback(), but at that time fg_console, cursor positions, etc. are not yet updated and hence screen readers fetch the old values. This adds an update notify after all of the values are updated in redraw_screen(vc, 1).

* alloc_percpu() fails to allocate percpu dataEric Dumazet2008-03-041-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some oprofile results obtained while using tbench on a 2x2 cpu machine were very surprising. For example, loopback_xmit() function was using high number of cpu cycles to perform the statistic updates, supposed to be real cheap since they use percpu data pcpu_lstats = netdev_priv(dev); lb_stats = per_cpu_ptr(pcpu_lstats, smp_processor_id()); lb_stats->packets++; /* HERE : serious contention */ lb_stats->bytes += skb->len; struct pcpu_lstats is a small structure containing two longs. It appears that on my 32bits platform, alloc_percpu(8) allocates a single cache line, instead of giving to each cpu a separate cache line. Using the following patch gave me impressive boost in various benchmarks ( 6 % in tbench) (all percpu_counters hit this bug too) Long term fix (ie >= 2.6.26) would be to let each CPU allocate their own block of memory, so that we dont need to roudup sizes to L1_CACHE_BYTES, or merging the SGI stuff of course... Note : SLUB vs SLAB is important here to *show* the improvement, since they dont have the same minimum allocation sizes (8 bytes vs 32 bytes). This could very well explain regressions some guys reported when they switched to SLUB.

* gpio: <linux/gpio.h> and "no GPIO support here" stubsDavid Brownell2008-03-042-4/+107
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a <linux/gpio.h> defining fail/warn stubs for GPIO calls on platforms that don't support the GPIO programming interface. That includes the arch-specific implementation glue otherwise. This facilitates a new model for GPIO usage: drivers that can use GPIOs if they're available, but don't require them. One example of such a driver is NAND driver for various FreeScale chips. On platforms update with GPIO support, they can be used instead of a worst-case delay to verify that the BUSY signal is off.

* CRIS v10: Include mm.h instead of vmstat.h in kernel/time.cJesper Nilsson2008-03-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2f569afd9ced9ebec9a6eb3dbf6f83429be0a7b4 (CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables) introduced use of inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state in include/linux/mm.h. Those are defined in include/linux/vmstat.h, but after it includes mm.h, making it impossible to include vmstat.h since inc_zone_page_state and dec_zone_page_state then would be undefined. arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/time.c does just this, which makes the CRIS v10 build break with the following error: ...

Hence we revert them and try again in v2.6.26.

It's pure luck that Xen kernels have gotten away with it in the past. The patch below seems like the right thing to do. It certainly boots in a domU without the DMI problem (without any of the other related patches such as Alexander's). Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ijc@hellion.org.uk> Cc: H.

So the ptrace calls can expose the parent tasks FPU data in some cases. Replace it with the init_fpu() which will init the math state, if the task never used math before.

| * | KVM: VMX: Avoid rearranging switched guest msrs while they are loadedAvi Kivity2008-03-041-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | KVM tries to run as much as possible with the guest msrs loaded instead of host msrs, since switching msrs is very expensive. It also tries to minimize the number of msrs switched according to the guest mode; for example, MSR_LSTAR is needed only by long mode guests. This optimization is done by setup_msrs(). However, we must not change which msrs are switched while we are running with guest msr state: - switch to guest msr state - call setup_msrs(), removing some msrs from the list - switch to host msr state, leaving a few guest msrs loaded An easy way to trigger this is to kexec an x86_64 linux guest. Early during setup, the guest will switch EFER to not include SCE. KVM will stop saving MSR_LSTAR, and on the next msr switch it will leave the guest LSTAR loaded. The next host syscall will end up in a random location in the kernel. Fix by reloading the host msrs before changing the msr list. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
| * | KVM: MMU: Fix race when instantiating a shadow pteAvi Kivity2008-03-042-11/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For improved concurrency, the guest walk is performed concurrently with other vcpus. This means that we need to revalidate the guest ptes once we have write-protected the guest page tables, at which point they can no longer be modified. The current code attempts to avoid this check if the shadow page table is not new, on the assumption that if it has existed before, the guest could not have modified the pte without the shadow lock. However the assumption is incorrect, as the racing vcpu could have modified the pte, then instantiated the shadow page, before our vcpu regains control: vcpu0 vcpu1 fault walk pte modify pte fault in same pagetable instantiate shadow page lookup shadow page conclude it is old instantiate spte based on stale guest pte We could do something clever with generation counters, but a test run by Marcelo suggests this is unnecessary and we can just do the revalidation unconditionally. The pte will be in the processor cache and the check can be quite fast. Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
