2006-07-04[PATCH] lockdep: better lock debuggingIngo Molnar7-37/+73
Generic lock debugging: - generalized lock debugging framework. For example, a bug in one lock subsystem turns off debugging in all lock subsystems. - got rid of the caller address passing (__IP__/__IP_DECL__/etc.) from the mutex/rtmutex debugging code: it caused way too much prototype hackery, and lockdep will give the same information anyway. - ability to do silent tests - check lock freeing in vfree too. - more finegrained debugging options, to allow distributions to turn off more expensive debugging features. There's no separate 'held mutexes' list anymore - but there's a 'held locks' stack within lockdep, which unifies deadlock detection across all lock classes. (this is independent of the lockdep validation stuff - lockdep first checks whether we are holding a lock already) Here are the current debugging options: CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=y CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y which do: config DEBUG_MUTEXES bool "Mutex debugging, basic checks" config DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC bool "Detect incorrect freeing of live mutexes" Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Introduce local_irq_enable_in_hardirq() API. It is currently aliased to local_irq_enable(), hence has no functional effects. This API will be used by lockdep, but even without lockdep this will better document places in the kernel where a hardirq context enables hardirqs.

2006-07-04[PATCH] lockdep: add disable/enable_irq_lockdep() APIIngo Molnar1-1/+48
lockdep wants to use the disable_irq()/enable_irq() prototypes before they are provied by the platform's asm/irq.h. So move them out of the CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQS define - all architectures have a common prototype for this anyway. Add special lockdep variants of irq line disabling/enabling. These should be used for locking constructs that know that a particular irq context which is disabled, and which is the only irq-context user of a lock, that it's safe to take the lock in the irq-disabled section without disabling hardirqs.

2006-07-04[PATCH] ZVC/zone_reclaim: Leave 1% of unmapped pagecache pages for file I/OChristoph Lameter3-1/+8
It turns out that it is advantageous to leave a small portion of unmapped file backed pages if all of a zone's pages (or almost all pages) are allocated and so the page allocator has to go off-node. This allows recently used file I/O buffers to stay on the node and reduces the times that zone reclaim is invoked if file I/O occurs when we run out of memory in a zone. The problem is that zone reclaim runs too frequently when the page cache is used for file I/O (read write and therefore unmapped pages!) alone and we have almost all pages of the zone allocated. Zone reclaim may remove 32 unmapped pages. File I/O will use these pages for the next read/write requests and the unmapped pages increase. After the zone has filled up again zone reclaim will remove it again after only 32 pages. This cycle is too inefficient and there are potentially too many zone reclaim cycles. With the 1% boundary we may still remove all unmapped pages for file I/O in zone reclaim pass. However. it will take a large number of read and writes to get back to 1% again where we trigger zone reclaim again. The zone reclaim 2.6.16/17 does not show this behavior because we have a 30 second timeout.

2006-07-04[PATCH] lockdep: special s390 print_symbol() versionHeiko Carstens1-5/+6
Have a special version of print_symbol() for s390 which clears the most significant bit of addr before calling __print_symbol(). This seems to be better than checking/changing each place in the kernel that saves an instruction pointer.

2006-07-03[PATCH] irq-flags: consolidate flags for request_irqThomas Gleixner3-54/+74
The recent interrupt rework introduced bit value conflicts with sparc. Instead of introducing new architecture flags mess, move the interrupt SA_ flags out of the signal namespace and replace them by interrupt related flags. This allows to remove the obsolete SA_INTERRUPT flag and clean up the bit field values. This patch: Move the interrupt related SA_ flags out of linux/signal.h and rename them to IRQF_ . This moves the interrupt related flags out of the signal namespace and allows to remove the architecture dependencies. SA_INTERRUPT is not needed by userspace and glibc so it can be removed safely. The existing SA_ constants are kept for easy transition and will be removed after a 6 month grace period.

2006-07-01[PATCH] ufs: truncate should allocate block for last byteEvgeniy Dushistov1-1/+1
This patch fixes buggy behaviour of UFS in such kind of scenario: open(, O_TRUNC...) ftruncate(, 1024) ftruncate(, 0) Such a scenario causes ufs_panic and remount read-only. This happen because of according to specification UFS should always allocate block for last byte, and many parts of our implementation rely on this, but `ufs_truncate' doesn't care about this. To make possible return error code and to know about old size, this patch removes `truncate' from ufs inode_operations and uses `setattr' method to call ufs_truncate.

2006-07-01[PATCH] add rule filterkeyAmy Griffis1-0/+3
Add support for a rule key, which can be used to tie audit records to audit rules. This is useful when a watched file is accessed through a link or symlink, as well as for general audit log analysis. Because this patch uses a string key instead of an integer key, there is a bit of extra overhead to do the kstrdup() when a rule fires. However, we're also allocating memory for the audit record buffer, so it's probably not that significant. I went ahead with a string key because it seems more user-friendly. Note that the user must ensure that filterkeys are unique. The kernel only checks for duplicate rules. Signed-off-by: Amy Griffis <amy.griffis@hpd.com>

2006-07-01[IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6Herbert Xu2-4/+7
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6. This is based on a patch by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>. His original description is: This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from "dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction. This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6 will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO. In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't get TSO packets created by TCP layer. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet. SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature. UFO is supported over IPv6 also The following table shows there is significant improvement in throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo. -------------------------------------------------- | | 1500 | 9600 | | ------------------|-------------------| | | thru CPU | thru CPU | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO OFF | 2.00 5.5% id | 5.66 20.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- | TSO ON | 2.63 78.0 id | 5.67 39.0% id | -------------------------------------------------- Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-07-01[NET]: Generalise TSO-specific bits from skb_setup_capsHerbert Xu1-3/+9
This patch generalises the TSO-specific bits from sk_setup_caps by adding the sk_gso_type member to struct sock. This makes sk_setup_caps generic so that it can be used by TCPv6 or UFO. The only catch is that whoever uses this must provide a GSO implementation for their protocol which I think is a fair deal :) For now UFO continues to live without a GSO implementation which is OK since it doesn't use the sock caps field at the moment.

2006-06-30[PATCH] add smp_setup_processor_id()Andrew Morton1-0/+2
Presently, smp_processor_id() isn't necessarily set up until setup_arch(). But it's used in boot_cpu_init() and printk() and perhaps in other places, prior to setup_arch() being called. So provide a new smp_setup_processor_id() which is called before anything else, wire it up for Voyager (which boots on a CPU other than #0, and broke).

2006-06-30[PATCH] SELinux: Add security hook definition for getioprio and insert hooksDavid Quigley1-0/+15
Add a new security hook definition for the sys_ioprio_get operation. At present, the SELinux hook function implementation for this hook is identical to the getscheduler implementation but a separate hook is introduced to allow this check to be specialized in the future if necessary. This patch also creates a helper function get_task_ioprio which handles the access check in addition to retrieving the ioprio value for the task.

2006-06-30[PATCH] Light weight event countersChristoph Lameter1-104/+66
The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no essential function for the VM. We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that the vm event counters have to be accurate. In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64. And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for both architectures in most cases. The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building of linux kernels without these counters. The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted (i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done). Benefits: - VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction on i386 and x86_64. - No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case. Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock. - Handling is similar to zoned VM counters. - Simple and easily extendable. - Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

2006-06-30[PATCH] Use Zoned VM Counters for NUMA statisticsChristoph Lameter2-10/+17
The numa statistics are really event counters. But they are per node and so we have had special treatment for these counters through additional fields on the pcp structure. We can now use the per zone nature of the zoned VM counters to realize these. This will shrink the size of the pcp structure on NUMA systems. We will have some room to add additional per zone counters that will all still fit in the same cacheline. Bits Prior pcp size Size after patch We can add ------------------------------------------------------------------ 64 128 bytes (16 words) 80 bytes (10 words) 48 32 76 bytes (19 words) 56 bytes (14 words) 8 (64 byte cacheline) 72 (128 byte) Remove the special statistics for numa and replace them with zoned vm counters. This has the side effect that global sums of these events now show up in /proc/vmstat. Also take the opportunity to move the zone_statistics() function from page_alloc.c into vmstat.c.

Conversion of nr_bounce to a per zone counter nr_bounce is only used for proc output. So it could be left as an event counter. However, the event counters may not be accurate and nr_bounce is categorizing types of pages in a zone. So we really need this to also be a per zone counter.

2006-06-30[PATCH] zoned vm counters: conversion of nr_unstable to per zone counterChristoph Lameter2-9/+1
Conversion of nr_unstable to a per zone counter We need to do some special modifications to the nfs code since there are multiple cases of disposition and we need to have a page ref for proper accounting. This converts the last critical page state of the VM and therefore we need to remove several functions that were depending on GET_PAGE_STATE_LAST in order to make the kernel compile again. We are only left with event type counters in page state.

This makes nr_dirty a per zone counter. Looping over all processors is avoided during writeback state determination.

2006-06-30[PATCH] zoned vm counters: zone_reclaim: remove ↵Christoph Lameter2-7/+0
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval The zone_reclaim_interval was necessary because we were not able to determine how many unmapped pages exist in a zone. Therefore we had to scan in intervals to figure out if any pages were unmapped. With the zoned counters and NR_ANON_PAGES we now know the number of pagecache pages and the number of mapped pages in a zone. So we can simply skip the reclaim if there is an insufficient number of unmapped pages. We use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX as the boundary. Drop all support for /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_interval.

2006-06-30[PATCH] zoned vm counters: split NR_ANON_PAGES off from NR_FILE_MAPPEDChristoph Lameter1-1/+2
The current NR_FILE_MAPPED is used by zone reclaim and the dirty load calculation as the number of mapped pagecache pages. However, that is not true. NR_FILE_MAPPED includes the mapped anonymous pages. This patch separates those and therefore allows an accurate tracking of the anonymous pages per zone. It then becomes possible to determine the number of unmapped pages per zone and we can avoid scanning for unmapped pages if there are none. Also it may now be possible to determine the mapped/unmapped ratio in get_dirty_limit. Isnt the number of anonymous pages irrelevant in that calculation? Note that this will change the meaning of the number of mapped pages reported in /proc/vmstat /proc/meminfo and in the per node statistics. This may affect user space tools that monitor these counters! NR_FILE_MAPPED works like NR_FILE_DIRTY. It is only valid for pagecache pages.
