| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kbuild used $¤(*F to get filename of target without extension. This was used in several places all over kbuild, but introducing make -rR broke his for all cases where we specified full path to target/prerequsite. It is assumed that make -rR disables old style suffix-rules which is why is suddenly failed. ia64 was impacted by this change because several div* routines in arch/ia64/lib are build using explicit paths and then kbuild failed. Thanks to David Mosberger-Tang <David.Mosberger@acm.org> for an explanation what was the root-cause and for testing on ia64.

* | | [PATCH] uml: rename and improve actually_do_remove()Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-07-011-16/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename actually_do_remove() to remove_files_and_dir(), make it call closedir(), make it ignore ENOENT (I see it frequently enough). ENOENT is probably due to multiple threads calling the exitcall functions together*, but fixing that is non-trivial; and ignoring it is perfectly ok in any case. * it can surely happen: last_ditch_exit() is installed as SIGTERM handler at boot, and it's not removed on thread creation. So killall vmlinux (which I do) surely causes that. I've seen also a crash which seems to do the same. Installing the handler on only the main thread would make UML do no cleanup when another thread exits, and we're not sure we want that. And mutual exclusion in that context is tricky - we can't use spinlock in code not on a kernel stack (spinlock debugging uses "current" a lot).

* | | [PATCH] uml: fix not_dead_yet when directory is in bad statePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-07-011-19/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug occurred to me when a UML left an empty ~/.uml/Sarge-norm folder - when trying to reuse not_dead_yet() failed one of its check. The comment says that's ok and means that we can take the directory, but while normally not_dead_yet() removes it and returns 0 (i.e. go on, use this), on failure it returns 0 but forgets to remove it. The fix is to remove it anytime we're going to return 0. But since "not_dead_yet" didn't make the interface so clear, causing this bug, and I couldn't find a convenient name for the mix of things it did, I split it into two parts: is_umdir_used() - returns a boolean, contains all checks of not_dead_yet() umdir_take_if_dead - tries to remove the dir unless it's used - returns whether it removed it, that is we now own it. With this changes the control flow is IMHO a bit clearer and needs less comment for control flow.

* | | [PATCH] uml: make copy_*_user atomicPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2006-07-011-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make __copy_*_user_inatomic really atomic to avoid "Sleeping function called in atomic context" warnings, especially from futex code. This is made by adding another kmap_atomic slot and making copy_*_user_skas use kmap_atomic; also copy_*_user() becomes atomic, but that's true and is not a problem for i386 (and we can always add might_sleep there as done elsewhere). For TT mode kmap is not used, so there's no need for this. I've had to use another slot since both KM_USER0 and KM_USER1 are used elsewhere and could cause conflicts. Till now we reused the kmap_atomic slot list from the subarch, but that's not needed as that list must contain the common ones (used by generic code) + the ones used in architecture specific code (and Uml till now used none); so I've taken the i386 one after comparing it with ones from other archs, and added KM_UML_USERCOPY.

The problem was that the stderr console, which is intended to dump printk output to the terminal before the regular console is initialized, isn't a tty, and so can't make /dev/console operational. However, since it is registered first, the normal console, when it is registered, doesn't become the preferred console, and isn't attached to /dev/console. Thus, /dev/console is never operational. This patch makes the stderr console unregister itself in an initcall, which is late enough that the normal console is registered. When that happens, the normal console will become the preferred console and will be able to run /dev/console.

Fix this by refilling the buffer whenever we advance the cursor.

But it's used in boot_cpu_init() and printk() and perhaps in other places, prior to setup_arch() being called. So provide a new smp_setup_processor_id() which is called before anything else, wire it up for Voyager (which boots on a CPU other than #0, and broke).

They have no essential function for the VM. We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that the vm event counters have to be accurate. In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64. And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for both architectures in most cases. The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building of linux kernels without these counters. The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted (i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done). Benefits: - VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction on i386 and x86_64. - No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case. Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock. - Handling is similar to zoned VM counters. - Simple and easily extendable. - Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

Looping over all processors is avoided during writeback state determination. The counter aggregation for nr_dirty had to be undone in the NFS layer since we summed up the page counts from multiple zones. Someone more familiar with NFS should probably review what I have done.

The zoned VM counters have the same method of implementation as the nr_pagecache code but also allow the determination of the pagecache size per zone. Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter named NR_FILE_PAGES. Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off. We can therefore use the __ variant here.
