While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range. There doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to
add_active_range with different code. So I've changed the code into a
common implementation.
The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed. We were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages. So linked kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions. This resulted in free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports. This won't occur with this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.

When we offline a CPU, migrate_irqs() tries to determine whether the
affinity bits of the IRQ descriptor match any of the remaining online
CPUs. If not, it fixes up the interrupt to point somewhere else.
Unfortunately, if an IRQ is unregistered the IRQ descriptor may still
have affinity to the CPU being offlined, but the no_irq_chip handler
doesn't provide a set_affinity function. This causes us to hit the
WARN_ON in migrate_irqs().
The easiest solution seems to be setting all the bits in the affinity
mask when the last interrupt is removed from the vector. I hit this on
an older kernel with Xen/ia64 using driver domains (so it probably needs
more testing on upstream). Xen essentially uses the bind/unbind
interface in sysfs to unregister a device from a driver and thus
unregister the interrupt.

Some patches have turned up on xen-devel recently to convert strcpy()
to safer alternatives and so forth. While reviewing those patches
I noticed that the features string building could be cleaned up.
This patch uses snprintf() instead of strcpy() and direct character
pointer manipulation. It makes the features string building safe and
gets rid of the special case for features output in show_cpuinfo()
Additionally I removed the (int) cast of ARRAY_SIZE, which seems to

As is pointed out in
http://www.gelato.org/community/view_linear.php?id=1_1036&from=authors&value=Ian%20Wienand#1_1039,
if single step on break instruction, the break fault has higher
priority than the single-step trap. When the break fault handler
is entered, it advances the IP by 1 instruction so break instruction
single-stepping is skipped, actually it is next instruction which
is single stepped.
This patch modifies this, it adds TIF_SINGLESTEP bit for thread
flags, and generate a fake sigtrap when single stepping break
instruction. Test case in attachment can verify this. Any comments

This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
system load, often in the milliseconds range.
After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:
_------=> CPU#
/ _-----=> irqs-off
| / _----=> need-resched
|| / _---=> hardirq/softirq
||| / _--=> preempt-depth

<...>-5856 0D..1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0)
what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for
PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task()
for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!
the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:
commit 495ab9c045
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
Date: Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200
[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
the problem is this type of change:
if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
- clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
while (!need_resched()) {
local_irq_disable();
this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:
clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);
and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:
static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
"btrl %1,%0"
hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:
#define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier()
but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.
CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]
Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.
( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )
The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC
disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will
occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making
callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will
not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now
downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that
there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout
to the registerer.

Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits
logging of messages.
There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code.
1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never
updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on
EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line.
The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test
from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!!
2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because
multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at
about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages
are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate
to ~1 per second.

There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine
the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing
users's to sepcify it.
The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on
most architectures is for the user to always specify the address.
Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined.
With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if
the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided.
This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.
The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.
Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c

This facility provides three entry points:
ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long
ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32
ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64
These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data:
int do_something(long q)
{
...;
y = ilog2(x)
...;
}
Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values:
unsigned n = ilog2(27);
When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error:
initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of
something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as
unsigned.
When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits
them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on
x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

There is a name clash with ia64 arch code in Andrew's tree. Rename
is_avialable_memory() to is_memory_available() to avoid the clash.

Now we have our own highly optimized assembly code version of
this routine (Thanks Ken!) we should export it so that it can
be used.

PAL_GET_PSTATE accepts a type argument to return different kinds of
frequency information.
Refer: Intel Itanium®Architecture Software Developer's Manual -
Volume 2: System Architecture, Revision 2.2
(http://developer.intel.com/design/itanium/manuals/245318.htm)
Add the support for type argument and use Instantaneous frequency
in the acpi driver.
Also fix a bug, where in return value of PAL_GET_PSTATE was getting compared
with 'control' bits instead of 'status' bits.

While working on implementing csum_ipv6_magic, I noticed that current
version of ip_fast_csum will potentially return bits above "unsigned
short" as 1. While no harm is done right now because all call sites
will chop off the upper bits when it uses the return value. However,
this is still dangerous and buggy. Here is a patch to enforce that the
function really returns unsigned short in the native register format.
The fix is free as there are plenty open slot to add one more asm instruction.
