2008-12-30cpumask: arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask: coreRusty Russell1-1/+7
Impact: new API to reduce stack usage We're weaning the core code off handing cpumask's around on-stack. This introduces arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2008-12-30cpumask: smp_call_function_many()Rusty Russell1-90/+49
Impact: Implementation change to remove cpumask_t from stack. Actually change smp_call_function_mask() to smp_call_function_many(). We avoid cpumasks on the stack in this version. (S390 has its own version, but that's going away apparently). We have to do some dancing to figure out if 0 or 1 other cpus are in the mask supplied and the online mask without allocating a tmp cpumask. It's still fairly cheap. We allocate the cpumask at the end of the call_function_data structure: if allocation fails we fallback to smp_call_function_single rather than using the baroque quiescing code (which needs a cpumask on stack). (Thanks to Hiroshi Shimamoto for spotting several bugs in previous versions!)

2008-12-30cpumask: make set_cpu_*/init_cpu_* out-of-lineRusty Russell1-0/+47
They're only for use in boot/cpu hotplug code anyway, and this avoids the use of deprecated cpu_*_map. Stephen Rothwell points out that gcc 4.2.4 (on powerpc at least) didn't like the cast away of const anyway: include/linux/cpumask.h: In function 'set_cpu_possible': include/linux/cpumask.h:1052: warning: passing argument 2 of 'cpumask_set_cpu' discards qualifiers from pointer target type So this kills two birds with one stone.

2008-12-30cpumask: switch over to cpu_online/possible/active/present_mask: coreRusty Russell1-26/+23
Impact: cleanup This implements the obsolescent cpu_online_map in terms of cpu_online_mask, rather than the other way around. Same for the other maps. The documentation comments are also updated to refer to _mask rather than _map. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>

2008-12-29sparseirq: move __weak symbols into separate compilation unitYinghai Lu2-9/+20
GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override the weak alias with the real thing. So move all the IRQ handling related __weak symbols to kernel/irq/chip.c. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-29aio: make the lookup_ioctx() locklessJens Axboe1-2/+2
The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock, so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion. There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense to look into fancier data structures. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29Do not free io context when taking recursive faults in do_exitNikanth Karthikesan1-2/+0
When taking recursive faults in do_exit, if the io_context is not null, exit_io_context() is being called. But it might decrement the refcount more than once. It is better to leave this task alone.

Impact: fix boot crash if the kernel is built with certain GCC versions GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override the weak alias with the real thing.

Impact: cleanup before CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ age, for_each_irq_desc() sat in irqnr.h and could be called from generic code. CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ breaks this assumption, but SPARSE_IRQ version for_each_irq_desc() also can move into irqnr.h easily.

Impact: eliminate false WARN_ON message If an interrupt goes off after the setting of the local variable tail_page and before incrementing the write index of that page, the interrupt could push the commit forward to the next page. Later a check is made to see if interrupts pushed the buffer around the entire ring buffer by comparing the next page to the last commited page. This can produce a false positive if the interrupt had pushed the commit page forward as stated above. Thanks to Jiaying Zhang for finding this race.

Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.

2008-12-19allow stripping of generated symbols under CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALLJan Beulich1-10/+6
Building upon parts of the module stripping patch, this patch introduces similar stripping for vmlinux when CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL=y. Using CONFIG_KALLSYMS_STRIP_GENERATED reduces the overhead of CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL from 245k/310k to 65k/80k for the (i386/x86-64) kernels I tested with. The patch also does away with the need to special case the kallsyms- internal symbols by making them available even in the first linking stage. While it is a generated file, the patch includes the changes to scripts/genksyms/keywords.c_shipped, as I'm unsure what the procedure here is.
