* [DCCP] ccid3: Finer-grained resolution of sending ratesGerrit Renker2006-12-111-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch * resolves a bug where packets smaller than 32/64 bytes resulted in sending rates of 0 * supports all sending rates from 1/64 bytes/second up to 4Gbyte/second * simplifies the present overflow problems in calculations Current sending rate X and the cached value X_recv of the receiver-estimated sending rate are both scaled by 64 (2^6) in order to * cope with low sending rates (minimally 1 byte/second) * allow upgrading to use a packets-per-second implementation of CCID 3 * avoid calculation errors due to integer arithmetic cut-off The patch implements a revised strategy from http://www.mail-archive.com/dccp@vger.kernel.org/msg01040.html The only difference with regard to that strategy is that t_ipi is already used in the calculation of the nofeedback timeout, which saves one division.

* Make SLES9 "get_kernel_version" work on the kernel binary againLinus Torvalds2006-12-111-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Andy Whitcroft, at least the SLES9 initrd build process depends on getting the kernel version from the kernel binary. It does that by simply trawling the binary and looking for the signature of the "linux_banner" string (the string "Linux version " to be exact. Which is really broken in itself, but whatever..) That got broken when the string was changed to allow /proc/version to change the UTS release information dynamically, and "get_kernel_version" thus returned "%s" (see commit a2ee8649ba6d71416712e798276bf7c40b64e6e5: "[PATCH] Fix linux banner utsname information"). This just restores "linux_banner" as a static string, which should fix the version finding. And /proc/version simply uses a different string. To avoid wasting even that miniscule amount of memory, the early boot string should really be marked __initdata, but that just causes the same bug in SLES9 to re-appear, since it will then find other occurrences of "Linux version " first.

This covers cases like 'jmpl' which branch to absolute values. - To be absolutely %100 safe, we need to flush the instruction cache for all assignments to kprobe->ainsn.insn[], including cases like add_aggr_kprobe() - prev_kprobe's status field needs to be 'unsigned long' to match the type of the value it is saving - jprobes were totally broken: = jprobe_return() can run in the stack frame of the jprobe handler, or in an even deeper stack frame, thus we'll be in the wrong register window than the one from the original probe state. So unwind using 'restore' instructions, if necessary, right before we do the jprobe_return() breakpoint trap. = There is no reason to save/restore the register window saved at %sp at jprobe trigger time. Those registers cannot be modified by the jprobe handler. Also, this code was saving and restoring "sizeof (struct sparc_stackf)" bytes. Depending upon the caller, this could clobber unrelated stack frame pieces if there is only a basic 128-byte register window stored on the stack, without the argument save area. So just saving and restoring struct pt_regs is sufficient. = Kill the "jprobe_saved_esp", totally unused. Also, delete "jprobe_saved_regs_location", with the stack frame unwind now done explicitly by jprobe_return(), this check is superfluous. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In particular, the keymap for the Nova-T (sub 13c2:1011) is switched to the Hauppauge grey/black keymap, of which the keys on the supplied R808 remote control form a subset. The old budget-ci keymap is moved to ir-keymaps.c and is used for other remotes. The debounce logic for buggy remotes (i.e. Zenith) is made conditional the new debounce parameter and defaults to off (so that repeat keypresses aren't ignored for all working remotes). Some parts are based on Darren Salt's dvb-ir patchset.

The driver adds a character device (/dev/kvm) that exposes the virtualization capabilities to userspace. Using this driver, a process can run a virtual machine (a "guest") in a fully virtualized PC containing its own virtual hard disks, network adapters, and display. Using this driver, one can start multiple virtual machines on a host. Each virtual machine is a process on the host; a virtual cpu is a thread in that process. kill(1), nice(1), top(1) work as expected. In effect, the driver adds a third execution mode to the existing two: we now have kernel mode, user mode, and guest mode. Guest mode has its own address space mapping guest physical memory (which is accessible to user mode by mmap()ing /dev/kvm). Guest mode has no access to any I/O devices; any such access is intercepted and directed to user mode for emulation. The driver supports i386 and x86_64 hosts and guests. All combinations are allowed except x86_64 guest on i386 host. For i386 guests and hosts, both pae and non-pae paging modes are supported. SMP hosts and UP guests are supported. At the moment only Intel hardware is supported, but AMD virtualization support is being worked on. Performance currently is non-stellar due to the naive implementation of the mmu virtualization, which throws away most of the shadow page table entries every context switch. We plan to address this in two ways: - cache shadow page tables across tlb flushes - wait until AMD and Intel release processors with nested page tables Currently a virtual desktop is responsive but consumes a lot of CPU. Under Windows I tried playing pinball and watching a few flash movies; with a recent CPU one can hardly feel the virtualization. Linux/X is slower, probably due to X being in a separate process. In addition to the driver, you need a slightly modified qemu to provide I/O device emulation and the BIOS. Caveats (akpm: might no longer be true): - The Windows install currently bluescreens due to a problem with the virtual APIC. We are working on a fix. A temporary workaround is to use an existing image or install through qemu - Windows 64-bit does not work. That's also true for qemu, so it's probably a problem with the device model.

These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second. The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly when" timers to happen at the same jiffy. This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason; with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU sleep states and thus waste power. The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines there) [akpm@osdl.org: fix variable type] Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* | [PATCH] fdtable: Implement new pagesize-based fdtable allocatorVadim Lobanov2006-12-101-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides an improved fdtable allocation scheme, useful for expanding fdtable file descriptor entries. The main focus is on the fdarray, as its memory usage grows 128 times faster than that of an fdset. The allocation algorithm sizes the fdarray in such a way that its memory usage increases in easy page-sized chunks. The overall algorithm expands the allowed size in powers of two, in order to amortize the cost of invoking vmalloc() for larger allocation sizes. Namely, the following sizes for the fdarray are considered, and the smallest that accommodates the requested fd count is chosen: pagesize / 4 pagesize / 2 pagesize <- memory allocator switch point pagesize * 2 pagesize * 4 ...etc... Unlike the current implementation, this allocation scheme does not require a loop to compute the optimal fdarray size, and can be done in efficient straightline code. Furthermore, since the fdarray overflows the pagesize boundary long before any of the fdsets do, it makes sense to optimize run-time by allocating both fdsets in a single swoop. Even together, they will still be, by far, smaller than the fdarray. The fdtable->open_fds is now used as the anchor for the fdset memory allocation.

* | [PATCH] fdtable: Remove the free_files fieldVadim Lobanov2006-12-102-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An fdtable can either be embedded inside a files_struct or standalone (after being expanded). When an fdtable is being discarded after all RCU references to it have expired, we must either free it directly, in the standalone case, or free the files_struct it is contained within, in the embedded case. Currently the free_files field controls this behavior, but we can get rid of it entirely, as all the necessary information is already recorded. We can distinguish embedded and standalone fdtables using max_fds, and if it is embedded we can divine the relevant files_struct using container_of().

* | [PATCH] fdtable: Make fdarray and fdsets equal in sizeVadim Lobanov2006-12-102-7/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, each fdtable supports three dynamically-sized arrays of data: the fdarray and two fdsets. The code allows the number of fds supported by the fdarray (fdtable->max_fds) to differ from the number of fds supported by each of the fdsets (fdtable->max_fdset). In practice, it is wasteful for these two sizes to differ: whenever we hit a limit on the smaller-capacity structure, we will reallocate the entire fdtable and all the dynamic arrays within it, so any delta in the memory used by the larger-capacity structure will never be touched at all. Rather than hogging this excess, we shouldn't even allocate it in the first place, and keep the capacities of the fdarray and the fdsets equal. This patch removes fdtable->max_fdset. As an added bonus, most of the supporting code becomes simpler.

This means we need to record the rdev to so it is still available in the end_io routine. Fortunately bi_next in the original bio is unused at this point so we can stuff it in there. 6/ We leak a cloned bio if the target rdev is not usable. From: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> update 2: 1/ When aligned requests fail (read error) they need to be retried via the normal method (stripe cache). As we cannot be sure that we can process a single read in one go (we may not be able to allocate all the stripes needed) we store a bio-being-retried and a list of bioes-that-still-need-to-be-retried.

* | [PATCH] sched: decrease number of load balancesSiddha, Suresh B2006-12-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently at a particular domain, each cpu in the sched group will do a load balance at the frequency of balance_interval. More the cores and threads, more the cpus will be in each sched group at SMP and NUMA domain. And we endup spending quite a bit of time doing load balancing in those domains. Fix this by making only one cpu(first idle cpu or first cpu in the group if all the cpus are busy) in the sched group do the load balance at that particular sched domain and this load will slowly percolate down to the other cpus with in that group(when they do load balancing at lower domains).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With SMT, if the logical processor is busy, load balance happens for every 8msec(min)-16msec(max). There is no need to do this often, as this is just for fairness(to maintain uniform runqueue lengths) and default time slice anyhow is 100msec.

It simply counts the number of bytes passed into read() and write(). So if a process reads 1MB from an already-cached file, it is accused of having performed 1MB of I/O, which is wrong. (David Wright had some comments on the applicability of the present logical IO accounting: For billing purposes it is useless but for workload analysis it is very useful read_bytes/read_calls average read request size write_bytes/write_calls average write request size read_bytes/read_blocks ie logical/physical can indicate hit rate or thrashing write_bytes/write_blocks ie logical/physical guess since pdflush writes can be missed I often look for logical larger than physical to see filesystem cache problems. And the bytes/cpusec can help find applications that are dominating the cache and causing slow interactive response from page cache contention. I want to find the IO intensive applications and make sure they are doing efficient IO. Thus the acctcms(sysV) or csacms command would give the high IO commands). This patchset adds new accounting which tries to be more accurate. We account for three things: reads: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is accurate for block-backed filesystems. I also attempt to wire up NFS and CIFS. writes: attempt to count the number of bytes which this process caused to be sent to the storage layer. This is done at page-dirtying time. The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have been accounted as having caused 1MB of write. So... cancelled_writes: account the number of bytes which this process caused to not happen, by truncating pagecache. We _could_ just subtract this from the process's `write' accounting. But that means that some processes would be reported to have done negative amounts of write IO, which is silly. So we just report the raw number and punt this decision up to userspace. Now, we _could_ account for writes at the physical I/O level. But - This would require that we track memory-dirtying tasks at the per-page level (would require a new pointer in struct page). - It would mean that IO statistics for a process are usually only available long after that process has exitted. Which means that we probably cannot communicate this info via taskstats. This patch: Wire up the kernel-private data structures and the accessor functions to manipulate them.

Known issues: SPI_CS_HIGH and SPI_LSB_FIRST settings in struct spi_device are not handled. Testing: This patch has been test against the "random length, random bits/word, random data (verified on loopback) and stepped baud rate by octaves (3.6MHz to 115kHz)" test. It is robust in PIO mode, using any combination of tx and rx thresholds, and also in DMA mode (which internally computes the thresholds).
