2009-01-14softlock: fix false panic which can occur if softlockup_thresh is reducedMandeep Singh Baines
At run-time, if softlockup_thresh is changed to a much lower value, touch_timestamp is likely to be much older than the new softlock_thresh. This will cause a false softlockup to be detected. If softlockup_panic is enabled, the system will panic. The fix is to touch all watchdogs before changing softlockup_thresh.

2009-01-12async: fix __lowest_in_progress()Arjan van de Ven
At 37000 feet somewhere near Greenland I woke up from a half-sleep with the realisation that __lowest_in_progress() is buggy. After landing I checked and there were indeed 2 problems with it; this patch fixes both: * The order of the list checks was wrong * The locking was not correct.

2009-01-12Revert "sched: improve preempt debugging"Ingo Molnar
This reverts commit 7317d7b87edb41a9135e30be1ec3f7ef817c53dd. This has been reported (and bisected) by Alexey Zaytsev and Kamalesh Babulal to produce annoying warnings during bootup on both x86 and powerpc. kernel_locked() is not a valid test in IRQ context (we update the BKL's ->lock_depth and the preempt count separately and non-atomicalyy), so we cannot put it into the generic preempt debugging checks which can run in IRQ contexts too.

2009-01-11kstat: modify kstat_irqs_legacy to be variable sizedMike Travis
Impact: reduce memory usage. Allocate kstat_irqs_legacy based on nr_cpu_ids to deal with this memory usage bump when NR_CPUS bumped from 128 to 4096: 8192 +253952 262144 +3100% kstat_irqs_legacy(.bss) This is only when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-11irq: initialize nr_irqs based on nr_cpu_idsMike Travis
Impact: Reduce memory usage. This is the second half of the changes to make the irq_desc_ptrs be variable sized based on nr_cpu_ids. This is done by adding a new "max_nr_irqs" macro to irq_vectors.h (and a dummy in irqnr.h) to return a max NR_IRQS value based on NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids. This necessitated moving the define of MAX_IO_APICS to a separate file (asm/apicnum.h) so it could be included without the baggage of the other asm/apicdef.h declarations. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-11irq: allocate irq_desc_ptrs array based on nr_irqsMike Travis
Impact: allocate irq_desc_ptrs in preparation for making it variable-sized. This addresses this memory usage bump when NR_CPUS bumped from 128 to 4096: 34816 +229376 264192 +658% irq_desc_ptrs(.data.read_mostly) The patch is split into two parts, the first simply allocates the irq_desc_ptrs array. Then next will deal with making it variable. This is only when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-11irq: use WARN() instead of WARN_ON().Mike Travis

2009-01-11irq: change references from NR_IRQS to nr_irqsMike Travis
Impact: preparation, cleanup, add KERN_INFO printk Modify references from NR_IRQS to nr_irqs as the later will become variable-sized based on nr_cpu_ids when CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQS=y. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-11cpumask: reduce stack usage in find_lowest_rqMike Travis
Impact: reduce stack usage, cleanup Use a cpumask_var_t in find_lowest_rq() and clean up other old cpumask_t calls. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com>
2009-01-11cpumask: fix bug in use cpumask_var_t in irq_descMike Travis
Impact: fix bug where new irq_desc uses old cpumask pointers which are freed. As Yinghai pointed out, init_copy_one_irq_desc() copies the old desc to the new desc overwriting the cpumask pointers. Since the old_desc and the cpumask pointers are freed, then memory corruption will occur if these old pointers are used. Move the allocation of these pointers to after the copy. Signed-off-by: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
2009-01-11cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_tMike Travis
Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API. Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's. This adds to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes. The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the !CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.) [Naming chosen to be consistent with the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.] Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other references, and some small changes to Xen.

2009-01-11smp_call_function_single(): be slightly less stupidAndrew Morton
If you do smp_call_function_single(expression-with-side-effects, ...) then expression-with-side-effects never gets evaluated on UP builds. As always, implementing it in C is the correct thing to do. While we're there, uninline it for size and possible header dependency reasons. And create a new kernel/up.c, as a place in which to put uniprocessor-specific code and storage. It should mirror kernel/smp.c. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
