2009-01-02n_tty: Fix loss of echoed characters and remove bkl from n_ttyJoe Peterson
Fixes the loss of echoed (and other ldisc-generated characters) when the tty is stopped or when the driver output buffer is full (happens frequently for input during continuous program output, such as ^C) and removes the Big Kernel Lock from the N_TTY line discipline. Adds an "echo buffer" to the N_TTY line discipline that handles all ldisc-generated output (including echoed characters). Along with the loss of characters, this also fixes the associated loss of sync between tty output and the ldisc state when characters cannot be immediately written to the tty driver. The echo buffer stores (in addition to characters) state operations that need to be done at the time of character output (like management of the column position). This allows echo to cooperate correctly with program output, since the ldisc state remains consistent with actual characters written. Since the echo buffer code now isolates the tty column state code to the process_out* and process_echoes functions, we can remove the Big Kernel Lock (BKL) and replace it with mutex locks. Highlights are: * Handles echo (and other ldisc output) when tty driver buffer is full - continuous program output can block echo * Saves echo when tty is in stopped state (e.g. ^S) - (e.g.: ^Q will correctly cause held characters to be released for output) * Control character pairs (e.g. "^C") are treated atomically and not split up by interleaved program output * Line discipline state is kept consistent with characters sent to the tty driver * Remove the big kernel lock (BKL) from N_TTY line discipline Signed-off-by: Joe Peterson <joe@skyrush.com> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2009-01-02Disallow gcc versions 4.1.{0,1}Linus Torvalds
These compiler versions are known to miscompile __weak functions and thus generate kernels that don't necessarily work correctly. If a weak function is int he same compilation unit as a caller, gcc may end up inlining it, and thus binding the weak function too early. See http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27781 for details.

2009-01-02Sanitize gcc version header includesLinus Torvalds
- include the gcc version-dependent header files from the generic gcc header file, rather than the other way around (iow: don't make the non-gcc header file have to know about gcc versions) - don't include compiler-gcc4.h for gcc 5 (for whenever it gets released). That's just confusing and made us do odd things in the gcc4 header file (testing that we really had version 4!) - generate the name from the __GNUC__ version directly, rather than having a mess of #if conditionals.

* Tell the block layer that we are not done handling requests by using blk_plug_device() in ide_do_request() (request handling function) and ide_timer_expiry() (timeout handler) if the queue is not empty. * Remove optimization which directly calls ide_do_request() for the next queued command from the ide_intr() (IRQ handler) and ide_timer_expiry(). * Remove no longer needed IRQ masking from ide_do_request() - in case of IDE ports needing serialization disable_irq_nosync()/enable_irq() was used for the (possibly shared) IRQ of the other IDE port. * Put the misplaced comment in the right place in ide_do_request(). * Drop no longer needed 'int masked_irq' argument from ide_do_request(). * Merge ide_do_request() into do_ide_request(). * Remove no longer needed IDE_NO_IRQ define. While at it: * Don't use HWGROUP() macro in do_ide_request(). * Use __func__ in ide_intr(). This patch reduces IRQ hadling latency for IDE and improves the system-wide handling of shared IRQs (which should result in more timeout resistant and stable IDE systems). It also makes it possible to do some further changes later (i.e. replace some busy-waiting delays with sleeping equivalents). v2: Changes per review from Elias Oltmanns: - fix wrong goto statement in 'if (startstop == ide_stopped)' block - use spin_unlock_irq() - don't use obsolete HWIF() macro Cc: Elias Oltmanns <eo@nebensachen.de> Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>

2009-01-01cpumask: convert RCU implementationsRusty Russell
Impact: use new cpumask API. rcu_ctrlblk contains a cpumask, and it's highly optimized so I don't want a cpumask_var_t (ie. a pointer) for the CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case. It could use a dangling bitmap, and be allocated in __rcu_init to save memory, but for the moment we use a bitmap. (Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK, so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it). We remove on-stack cpumasks, using cpumask_var_t for rcu_torture_shuffle_tasks() and for_each_cpu_and in force_quiescent_state(). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel/irqRusty Russell

2009-01-01cpumask: convert kernel time functionsRusty Russell
Impact: Use new APIs Convert kernel/time functions to use struct cpumask *. Note the ugly bitmap declarations in tick-broadcast.c. These should be cpumask_var_t, but there was no obvious initialization function to put the alloc_cpumask_var() calls in. This was safe.

2008-12-31nfsd/create race fixes, infrastructureAl Viro
new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4(). Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail. Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed. In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up being simpler with such calling conventions. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-12-31shrink struct dentryNick Piggin
struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's sad to see it going neglected. With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here (64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab. I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on... I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant: why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection. At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it would require 4. I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are <= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for 33-36 byte names. Performance is a feature...

2008-12-31KVM: x86: Rework user space NMI injection as KVM_CAP_USER_NMIJan Kiszka
There is no point in doing the ready_for_nmi_injection/ request_nmi_window dance with user space. First, we don't do this for in-kernel irqchip anyway, while the code path is the same as for user space irqchip mode. And second, there is nothing to loose if a pending NMI is overwritten by another one (in contrast to IRQs where we have to save the number). Actually, there is even the risk of raising spurious NMIs this way because the reason for the held-back NMI might already be handled while processing the first one. Therefore this patch creates a simplified user space NMI injection interface, exporting it under KVM_CAP_USER_NMI and dropping the old KVM_CAP_NMI capability. And this time we also take care to provide the interface only on archs supporting NMIs via KVM (right now only x86).

2008-12-31KVM: fix handling of ACK from shared guest IRQMark McLoughlin
If an assigned device shares a guest irq with an emulated device then we currently interpret an ack generated by the emulated device as originating from the assigned device leading to e.g. "Unbalanced enable for IRQ 4347" from the enable_irq() in kvm_assigned_dev_ack_irq(). The fix is fairly simple - don't enable the physical device irq unless it was previously disabled. Of course, this can still lead to a situation where a non-assigned device ACK can cause the physical device irq to be reenabled before the device was serviced. However, being level sensitive, the interrupt will merely be regenerated. Signed-off-by: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2008-12-31[PATCH] idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
The cpu time spent by the idle process actually doing something is currently accounted as idle time. This is plain wrong, the architectures that support VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y can do better: distinguish between the time spent doing nothing and the time spent by idle doing work. The first is accounted with account_idle_time and the second with account_system_time. The architectures that use the account_xxx_time interface directly and not the account_xxx_ticks interface now need to do the check for the idle process in their arch code. In particular to improve the system vs true idle time accounting the arch code needs to measure the true idle time instead of just testing for the idle process. To improve the tick based accounting as well we would need an architecture primitive that can tell us if the pt_regs of the interrupted context points to the magic instruction that halts the cpu. In addition idle time is no more added to the stime of the idle process. This field now contains the system time of the idle process as it should be. On systems without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING this will always be zero as every tick that occurs while idle is running will be accounted as idle time. This patch contains the necessary common code changes to be able to distinguish idle system time and true idle time. The architectures with support for VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING need some changes to exploit this. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-12-31[PATCH] fix scaled & unscaled cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
The utimescaled / stimescaled fields in the task structure and the global cpustat should be set on all architectures. On s390 the calls to account_user_time_scaled and account_system_time_scaled never have been added. In addition system time that is accounted as guest time to the user time of a process is accounted to the scaled system time instead of the scaled user time. To fix the bugs and to prevent future forgetfulness this patch merges account_system_time_scaled into account_system_time and account_user_time_scaled into account_user_time.
