ACPI/NUMA: Do not map pxm to node when NUMA is turned off

2016-12-15T10:32:32+00:00

acpi_map_pxm_to_node() unconditially maps nodes even when NUMA is turned off. So acpi_get_node() might return a node > 0, which is fatal when NUMA is disabled as the rest of the kernel assumes that only node 0 exists. Expose numa_off to the acpi code and return NUMA_NO_NODE when it's set.

mm: remove the page size change check in tlb_remove_page

2016-12-13T02:55:07+00:00

Now that we check for page size change early in the loop, we can partially revert e9d55e157034a ("mm: change the interface for __tlb_remove_page"). This simplies the code much, by removing the need to track the last address with which we adjusted the range. We also go back to the older way of filling the mmu_gather array, ie, we add an entry and then check whether the gather batch is full.

mm: add tlb_remove_check_page_size_change to track page size change

2016-12-13T02:55:07+00:00

With commit e77b0852b551 ("mm/mmu_gather: track page size with mmu gather and force flush if page size change") we added the ability to force a tlb flush when the page size change in a mmu_gather loop. We did that by checking for a page size change every time we added a page to mmu_gather for lazy flush/remove. We can improve that by moving the page size change check early and not doing it every time we add a page. This also helps us to do tlb flush when invalidating a range covering dax mapping. Wrt dax mapping we don't have a backing struct page and hence we don't call tlb_remove_page, which earlier forced the tlb flush on page size change. Moving the page size change check earlier means we will do the same even for dax mapping. We also avoid doing this check on architecture other than powerpc. In a later patch we will remove page size check from tlb_remove_page().

tcp: SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS option for SO_TIMESTAMPING

2016-11-30T15:04:25+00:00

This patch exports the sender chronograph stats via the socket SO_TIMESTAMPING channel. Currently we can instrument how long a particular application unit of data was queued in TCP by tracking SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SCHED. Having these sender chronograph stats exported simultaneously along with these timestamps allow further breaking down the various sender limitation. For example, a video server can tell if a particular chunk of video on a connection takes a long time to deliver because TCP was experiencing small receive window. It is not possible to tell before this patch without packet traces. To prepare these stats, the user needs to set SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY flags while requesting other SOF_TIMESTAMPING TX timestamps. When the timestamps are available in the error queue, the stats are returned in a separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS, in a list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types: TCP_NLA_BUSY_TIME, TCP_NLA_RWND_LIMITED, TCP_NLA_SNDBUF_LIMITED. Unit is microsecond. Signed-off-by: Francis Yan Signed-off-by: Yuchung Cheng Signed-off-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh Acked-by: Neal Cardwell Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

locking/core: Provide common cpu_relax_yield() definition

No need to duplicate the same define everywhere. Since the only user is stop-machine and the only provider is s390, we can use a default implementation of cpu_relax_yield() in sched.h.

locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()

2016-11-16T09:15:09+00:00

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax(). For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency. For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment. On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the hypervisor to give up the timeslice. In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies. In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield that can be called in places where yielding is more important than latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.
