2009-12-18ARM: Convert VFP/Crunch/XscaleCP thread_release() to exit_thread()Russell King
This avoids races in the VFP code where the dead thread may have state on another CPU. By moving this code to exit_thread(), we will be running as the thread, and therefore be running on the current CPU. This means that we can ensure that the only local state is accessed in the thread notifiers.

2009-12-18hw-breakpoints: Fix hardware breakpoints -> perf events dependencyFrederic Weisbecker
The kbuild's select command doesn't propagate through the config dependencies. Hence the current rules of hardware breakpoint's config can't ensure perf can never be disabled under us. We have: config X86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS config HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS select PERF_EVENTS config PERF_EVENTS [...] x86 will select the breakpoints but that won't propagate to perf events. The user can still disable the latter, but it is necessary for the breakpoints. What we need is: - x86 selects HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS and PERF_EVENTS - HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINTS depends on PERF_EVENTS so that we ensure PERF_EVENTS is enabled and frozen for x86. This fixes the following kind of build errors: In file included from arch/x86/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:31: include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h: In function 'hw_breakpoint_addr': include/linux/hw_breakpoint.h:39: error: 'struct perf_event' has no member named 'attr' v2: Select also ANON_INODES from x86, required for perf Reported-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Reported-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz> Reported-by: Andrew Randrianasulu <randrik_a@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Cc: K.Prasad <prasad@linux.vnet.ibm.com> LKML-Reference: <1261010034-7786-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

So there is no need for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again and return BAD_APICID. Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent bad physical apic id).

2009-12-18powerpc/defconfigs: Set HZ=100 on pseries and ppc64 defconfigsAnton Blanchard
Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value. Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100: - Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps). - Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our way through the timer code one tick at a time. If we have been idle a long time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that loop. Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming out of idle.

2009-12-18powerpc: Make the CMM memory hotplug awareRobert Jennings
The Collaborative Memory Manager (CMM) module allocates individual pages over time that are not migratable. On a long running system this can severely impact the ability to find enough pages to support a hotplug memory remove operation. This patch adds a memory isolation notifier and a memory hotplug notifier. The memory isolation notifier will return the number of pages found in the range specified. This is used to determine if all of the used pages in a pageblock are owned by the balloon (or other entities in the notifier chain). The hotplug notifier will free pages in the range which is to be removed. The priority of this hotplug notifier is low so that it will be called near last, this helps avoids removing loaned pages in operations that fail due to other handlers. CMM activity will be halted when hotplug remove operations are active and resume activity after a delay period to allow the hypervisor time to adjust.

Memory balloon drivers can allocate a large amount of memory which is not movable but could be freed to accomodate memory hotplug remove. Prior to calling the memory hotplug notifier chain the memory in the pageblock is isolated. Currently, if the migrate type is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE the isolation will not proceed, causing the memory removal for that page range to fail. Rather than failing pageblock isolation if the migrateteype is not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, this patch checks if all of the pages in the pageblock, and not on the LRU, are owned by a registered balloon driver (or other entity) using a notifier chain. If all of the non-movable pages are owned by a balloon, they can be freed later through the memory notifier chain and the range can still be isolated in set_migratetype_isolate().

2009-12-18drm: convert drm_ioctl to unlocked_ioctlArnd Bergmann
drm_ioctl is called with the Big Kernel Lock held, which shows up very high in statistics on vfs_ioctl. Moving the lock into the drm_ioctl function itself makes sure we blame the right subsystem and it gets us one step closer to eliminating the locked version of fops->ioctl. Since drm_ioctl does not require the lock itself, we only need to hold it while calling the specific handler. The 32 bit conversion handlers do not interact with any other code, so they don't need the BKL here either and can just call drm_ioctl. As a bonus, this cleans up all the other users of drm_ioctl which now no longer have to find the inode or call lock_kernel. [airlied: squashed the non-driver bits of the second patch in here, this provides the flag for drivers to use to select unlocked ioctls - but doesn't modify any drivers].
