* [PATCH] Small fixes backported to old IDE SiS driverAlan Cox2006-03-282-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some quick backport bits from the libata PATA work to fix things found in the sis driver. The piix driver needs some fixes too but those are way to large and need someone working on old IDE with time to do them. This patch fixes the case where random bits get loaded into SIS timing registers according to the description of the correct behaviour from Vojtech Pavlik. It also adds the SiS5517 ATA16 chipset which is not currently supported by the driver. Thanks to Conrad Harriss for loaning me the machine with the 5517 chipset.

* [PATCH] Decrapify asm-generic/local.hKyle McMartin2006-03-281-71/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that Christoph Lameter's atomic_long_t support is merged in mainline, might as well convert asm-generic/local.h to use it, so the same code can be used for both sizes of 32 and 64-bit unsigned longs. akpm sayeth: Q: Is there any particular reason why these routines weren't simply implemented with local_save/restore_flags, if they are only meant to guarantee atomicity to the local cpu? I'm sure on most platforms this would be more efficient than using an atomic... A: The whole _point_ of local_t is to avoid local_irq_disable(). It's designed to exploit the fact that many CPUs can do incs and decs in a way which is atomic wrt local interrupts, but not atomic wrt SMP. But this patch makes sense, because asm-generic/local.h is just a fallback implementation for architectures which either cannot perform these local-irq-atomic operations, or its maintainers haven't yet got around to implementing them. We need more work done on local_t in the 2.6.17 timeframe - they're defined as unsigned long, but some architectures implement them as signed long.

* [PATCH] RTC: Remove RTC UIP synchronization on x86Matt Mackall2006-03-281-14/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reading the CMOS clock on x86 and some other arches currently takes up to one second because it synchronizes with the CMOS second tick-over. This delay shows up at boot time as well a resume time. This is the currently the most substantial boot time delay for machines that are working towards instant-on capability. Also, a quick back of the envelope calculation (.5sec * 2M users * 1 boot a day * 10 years) suggests it has cost Linux users in the neighborhood of a million man-hours. An earlier thread on this topic is here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/8a24255215ff6151/2aa97e66a977653d?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D1To2R-2S7-11%40gated-at.bofh.it#2aa97e66a977653d ..from which the consensus seems to be that it's no longer desirable. In my view, there are basically four cases to consider: 1) networked, need precise walltime: use NTP 2) networked, don't need precise walltime: use NTP anyway 3) not networked, don't need sub-second precision walltime: don't care 4) not networked, need sub-second precision walltime: get a network or a radio time source because RTC isn't good enough anyway So this patch series simply removes the synchronization in favor of a simple seqlock-like approach using the seconds value. Note that for purposes of timer accuracy on wakeup, this patch will cause us to fire timers up to one second late. But as the current timer resume code will already sync once (or more!), it's no worse for short timers. Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Cc: "David S.

Unfortunately, most system tools that work with these numbers that are exported in /proc/diskstats including iostat read these numbers into unsigned longs. This works fine on 32b platforms and when the number of IO transactions are small on 64b platforms. However, when the numbers wrap on 64b platforms & you read the numbers into unsigned longs, and compare the numbers to previous readings, then you get an unsigned representation of a negative number. This looks like a very large 64b number & gives you bizarre readouts in iostat: ilc4: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util ilc4: sda 5.50 0.00 143.96 0.00 307496983987862656.00 0.00 153748491993931328.00 0.00 2136028725038430.00 7.94 55.12 5.59 80.42 Though fixing iostat in user space is possible, and a quick survey indicates that several other similar tools also use unsigned longs when processing /proc/diskstats. Therefore, it seems like a better approach would be to extend the length of the disk_stats structure on 64b architectures to 64b. The following patch does that. It should not affect the operation on 32b platforms.
