lib/hexdump
Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE
CompactFlash interface.
Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h.
This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper().
print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to
syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump
format.
hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of
output (16 bytes of input) at a time.
Example usages:
print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len);
hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf));

getrusage(): fill ru_inblock and ru_oublock fields if possible

uml: iRQ stacks
Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire
interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying
mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.
Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's
no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.
This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.
The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.
An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active
thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of
a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
non-NULL for any nested interrupts.
Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable
interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
by not flipping signals on and off.
If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its
signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this
signal itself.
Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.
The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at
->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue
normally.
Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another
interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

m32r: fix switch_to macro to push/pop frame pointer if needed
This patch fixes a rarely-happened but severe scheduling problem of
the recent m32r kernel of 2.6.17-rc3 or later.
In the following previous m32r patch, the switch_to macro was
modified not to do unnecessary push/pop operations for tuning.
> [PATCH] m32r: update switch_to macro for tuning
> 4127272c38619c56f0c1aa01d01c7bd757db70a1
In this modification, only 'lr' and 'sp' registers are push/pop'ed,
assuming that the m32r kernel is always compiled with
-fomit-frame-pointer option.
However, in 2.6 kernel, kernel/sched.c is irregularly compiled
with -fno-omit-frame-pointer if CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER
is not defined.
-- kernel/Makefile --
:
ifneq ($(CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER),y)
# According to Alan Modra <alan@linuxcare.com.au>, the -fno-omit-frame-pointer is
# needed for x86 only. Why this used to be enabled for all architectures is beyond
# me. I suspect most platforms don't need this, but until we know that for sure
# I turn this off for IA-64 only. Andreas Schwab says it's also needed on m68k
# to get a correct value for the wait-channel (WCHAN in ps). --davidm
CFLAGS_sched.o := $(PROFILING) -fno-omit-frame-pointer
endif
:
---
Therefore, for the recent m32r kernel, we have to push/pop 'fp'
(frame pointer) if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is defined or
CONFIG_SCHED_NO_NO_OMIT_FRAME_POINTER is not defined.
VM statistics updates do not matter if the kernel is in idle powersaving
mode. So allow the timer to be deferred.
It would be better though if we could switch the timer between deferrable
and nondeferrable based on differentials present. The timer would start
out nondeferrable and if we find that there were no updates in the last
statistics interval then we would switch the timer to deferrable. If the
timer later finds again that there are differentials then go to
nondeferrable again.
And yet another way would be to run the timer shortly before going to idle?
The solution here means that the VM counters may be slightly off during
idle since differentials may be still pending while the timer is deferred.

Entering the kernel at startup_32 without passing our real mode data in
%esi, and without guaranteeing that physical and virtual addresses are
identity mapped makes head.S impossible to maintain.
The only user of this infrastructure is lguest which is not merged so
nothing we currently support will break by removing this over designed
nightmare, and only the pending lguest patches will be affected. The
pending Xen patches have a different entry point that they use.
We are currently discussing what Xen and lguest need to do to boot the
kernel in a more normal fashion so using startup_32 in this weird manner is
clearly not their long term direction.
So let's remove this code in head.S before it causes brain damage to people
trying to maintain head.S

Since it is referenced by memmap_init_zone (which is __meminit) via the

AFS: further write support fixes
Further fixes for AFS write support:
(1) The afs_send_pages() outer loop must do an extra iteration if it ends
with 'first == last' because 'last' is inclusive in the page set
otherwise it fails to send the last page and complete the RxRPC op under
some circumstances.
(2) Similarly, the outer loop in afs_pages_written_back() must also do an
extra iteration if it ends with 'first == last', otherwise it fails to
clear PG_writeback on the last page under some circumstances.

slub: support concurrent local and remote frees and allocs on a slab
Avoid atomic overhead in slab_alloc and slab_free
SLUB needs to use the slab_lock for the per cpu slabs to synchronize with
potential kfree operations. This patch avoids that need by moving all free
objects onto a lockless_freelist. The regular freelist continues to exist
and will be used to free objects. So while we consume the
lockless_freelist the regular freelist may build up objects.
If we are out of objects on the lockless_freelist then we may check the
regular freelist. If it has objects then we move those over to the
lockless_freelist and do this again. There is a significant savings in
terms of atomic operations that have to be performed.
We can even free directly to the lockless_freelist if we know that we are
running on the same processor. So this speeds up short lived objects.
They may be allocated and freed without taking the slab_lock. This is
particular good for netperf.
In order to maximize the effect of the new faster hotpath we extract the
hottest performance pieces into inlined functions. These are then inlined
into kmem_cache_alloc and kmem_cache_free. So hotpath allocation and
freeing no longer requires a subroutine call within SLUB.
[I am not sure that it is worth doing this because it changes the easy to
read structure of slub just to reduce atomic ops. However, there is
someone out there with a benchmark on 4 way and 8 way processor systems
that seems to show a 5% regression vs. Slab. Seems that the regression is
due to increased atomic operations use vs. SLAB in SLUB). I wonder if
this is applicable or discernable at all in a real workload?]

introduced a bug in the calculation of the virtual addresses for the

didn't account for the fact that hose->io_resource gets offset so that
it reflects the range of global I/O port numbers assigned to the
bridge. This fixes it and simplifies get_bus_io_range() in the
