* [PATCH] Notify page fault call chain for x86_64Anil S Keshavamurthy2006-06-261-2/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT, ...) to notify the page fault. Since notify_die() is highly overloaded, this page fault notification is currently being sent to all the components registered with register_die_notification() which uses the same die_chain to loop for all the registered components which is unnecessary. In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path, this critical page fault notification is now moved to different call chain and the test results showed great improvements. And the kprobes which is interested in this notifications, now registers onto this new call chain only when it need to, i.e Kprobes now registers for page fault notification only when their are an active probes and unregisters from this page fault notification when no probes are active. I have incorporated all the feedback given by Ananth and Keith and everyone, and thanks for all the review feedback.

* [PATCH] Kprobe: multi kprobe posthandler for boostermao, bibo2006-06-261-11/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If there are multi kprobes on the same probepoint, there will be one extra aggr_kprobe on the head of kprobe list. The aggr_kprobe has aggr_post_handler/aggr_break_handler whether the other kprobe post_hander/break_handler is NULL or not. This patch modifies this, only when there is one or more kprobe in the list whose post_handler is not NULL, post_handler of aggr_kprobe will be set as aggr_post_handler.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel. The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that had NUMA ifdef'ed out. I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off) in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

* [PATCH] Make copy_from_user_inatomic NOT zero the tail on i386NeilBrown2006-06-251-0/+119
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As described in a previous patch and documented in mm/filemap.h, copy_from_user_inatomic* shouldn't zero out the tail of the buffer after an incomplete copy. This patch implements that change for i386. For the _nocache version, a new __copy_user_intel_nocache is defined similar to copy_user_zeroio_intel_nocache, and this is ultimately used for the copy. For the regular version, __copy_from_user_ll_nozero is defined which uses __copy_user and __copy_user_intel - the later needs casts to reposition the __user annotations. If copy_from_user_atomic is given a constant length of 1, 2, or 4, then we do still zero the destintion on failure. This didn't seem worth the effort of fixing as the places where it is used really don't care.

* [PATCH] Rewritten backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computersMichael Hanselmann2006-06-253-167/+121
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains a total rewrite of the backlight infrastructure for portable Apple computers. Backward compatibility is retained. A sysfs interface allows userland to control the brightness with more steps than before. Userland is allowed to upload a brightness curve for different monitors, similar to Mac OS X.
