* perf: Add a timestamp to fork eventsArjan van de Ven2009-09-193-2/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | perf timechart needs to know when a process forked, in order to be able to visualize properly when tasks start. This patch adds a time field to the event structure, and fills it in appropriately.

| * pty_write: don't do a tty_wakeup() when the buffers are fullLinus Torvalds2009-09-181-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit ac89a9174 ("pty: don't limit the writes to 'pty_space()' inside 'pty_write()'") removed the pty_space() checking, in order to let the regular tty buffer code limit the buffering itself. That was all good, but as a subtle side effect it meant that we'd be doing a tty_wakeup() even in the case where the buffers were all filled up, and didn't actually make any progress on the write. Which sounds innocuous, but it interacts very badly with the ppp_async code, which has an infinite loop in ppp_async_push() that tries to push out data to the tty. When we call tty_wakeup(), that loop ends up thinking that progress was made (see the subtle interactions between XMIT_WAKEUP and 'tty_stuffed' for details). End result: one unhappy ppp user. Fixed by noticing when tty_insert_flip_string() didn't actually do anything, and then not doing any more processing (including, very much not calling tty_wakeup()).

| | * x86, mce: CE in last bank prevents panic by unknown MCEHidetoshi Seto2009-08-261-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If MCE handler is called but none of mces_seen have machine check event which might signal the MCE (i.e. event higher than MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY), panic with "Machine check from unknown source" will be taken since the MCE is assumed to be signaled from external agent or so. Usually mces_seen never point MCE_KEEP_SEVERITY event such as CE. But it can happen because initial value of mces_seen is accidentally modified by mce_no_way_out() - in case if mce_no_way_out() run through all banks and the last bank has the CE, mces_seen points the CE and the "panic by unknown" will not be taken. This patch fixes this undesired behavior, and clarifies the logic. Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com> Cc: H.

However, we should call it before wake_affine() as well, so that that can use up-to-date values too.

FAIR_SLEEPERS is the old logic: credit sleepers with their sleep time. GENTLE_FAIR_SLEEPERS dampens this a bit: 50% of their sleep time gets credited. The hope here is to still give the benefits of fair-sleepers logic (quick wakeups, etc.) while not allow them to have 100% of their sleep time as if they were running.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I suspect a feed-back loop between cpuidle and the aperf/mperf cpu_power bits, where when we have idle C-states lower the ratio, which leads to lower cpu_power and then less load, which generates more idle time, etc..

APERF/MPERF is arch defined to be a relative scale of work capacity per logical cpu, this is assumed to include SMT and Turbo mode. APERF/MPERF are specified to both reset to 0 when either counter wraps, which is highly inconvenient, since that'll give a blimp when that happens. The manual specifies writing 0 to the counters after each read, but that's 1) too expensive, and 2) destroys the possibility of sharing these counters with other users, so we live with the blimp - the other existing user does too.

Worst-case latencies are improved as well as no buddies means less vruntime spread. (as per prior lkml discussions) This change improves kbuild-peak parallelism as well.
