| * | | PCI AER: software error injectionHuang Ying2009-06-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Debugging PCIE AER code can be very difficult because it is hard to trigger various real hardware errors. This patch provide a software based error injection tool, which can fake various PCIE errors with a user space helper tool named "aer-inject". Which can be gotten from: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/yhuang/ The patch fakes AER error by faking some PCIE AER related registers and an AER interrupt for specified the PCIE device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create symbolic link to hotplug driver module in the PCI slot directory (/sys/bus/pci/slots/<SLOT#>). In the past, we need to load hotplug drivers one by one to identify the hotplug driver that handles the slot, and it was very inconvenient especially for trouble shooting. With this change, we can easily identify the hotplug driver.

| * | | PCI: Add support for turning PCIe ECRC on or offAndrew Patterson2009-06-111-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds support for PCI Express transaction layer end-to-end CRC checking (ECRC). This patch will enable/disable ECRC checking by setting/clearing the ECRC Check Enable and/or ECRC Generation Enable bits for devices that support ECRC. The ECRC setting is controlled by the "pci=ecrc=<policy>" command-line option. If this option is not set or is set to 'bios", the enable and generation bits are left in whatever state that firmware/BIOS set them to. The "off" setting turns them off, and the "on" option turns them on (if the device supports it). Turning ECRC on or off can be a data integrity versus performance tradeoff. In theory, turning it on will catch more data errors, turning it off means possibly better performance since CRC does not need to be calculated by the PCIe hardware and packet sizes are reduced.

This can also be used when developing a driver on a self-soldered board which doesn't yet have proper I2C device declaration at the platform level, and presumably for various debugging situations.

The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg. In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes. Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via /sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can use it to adjust system clock time. Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC. To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing to these char devices.

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

We can infer this based on reading the code in kernel/futex.c: struct robust_list __user *entry, *next_entry, *pending; ... if (fetch_robust_entry(&pending, &head->list_op_pending, &pip)) return; ... if (pending) handle_futex_death((void __user *)pending + futex_offset, curr, pip); Which is also consistent with the rest of the docs on robust futex lists.

In this case, swap-out will be done only by global-LRU. But, under current implementation, memory.limit_in_bytes is checked at first and try_to_free_page() may do swap-out. But, that swap-out is useless for memsw.limit_in_bytes and the thread may hit limit again. This patch tries to fix the current behavior at memory.limit == memsw.limit case. And documentation is updated to explain the behavior of this special case.

Add 'overriderockmode' mount option to indicate that these options should override permissions set in rock ridge extensions. Maybe this should be default but the current behavior is there since mount options were created so I think we should not change how they behave.
