Keshavamurthy Anil S deac66ae45 [PATCH] kprobes: fix bug when probed on task and isr functions
This patch fixes a race condition where in system used to hang or sometime
crash within minutes when kprobes are inserted on ISR routine and a task
routine.

The fix has been stress tested on i386, ia64, pp64 and on x86_64.  To
reproduce the problem insert kprobes on schedule() and do_IRQ() functions
and you should see hang or system crash.

Karsten Wiese f26fdd5992 [PATCH] CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid dead code in __do_IRQ()
IRQ_PER_CPU is not used by all architectures.  This patch introduces the
macros ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU and CHECK_IRQ_PER_CPU() to avoid the generation
of dead code in __do_IRQ().

ARCH_HAS_IRQ_PER_CPU is defined by architectures using IRQ_PER_CPU in their
include/asm_ARCH/irq.h file.

Through grepping the tree I found the following architectures currently use
IRQ_PER_CPU:

        cris, ia64, ppc, ppc64 and parisc.

very obvious when looking at linux/elf.h.  This patch adds AT_VECTOR_SIZE

Because of include file ordering problems, doing this necessitated the

Stephen Rothwell 202e5979af [PATCH] compat: be more consistent about [ug]id_t
When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
misunderstood :-)).  This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
bugs along the way.

	compat type		type in compat arch
	__compat_[ug]id_t	__kernel_[ug]id_t
	__compat_[ug]id32_t	__kernel_[ug]id32_t
	compat_[ug]id_t		[ug]id_t

The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

Jakub Jelinek 4732efbeb9 [PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedup
ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter
(which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of
the waiter threads).  This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it
attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by
the thread calling pthread_cond_signal.  So it goes to sleep and eventually
the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes
the waiter again.

Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal
to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were
redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked
contended).

Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in
pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of
lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at
that time:

The number is value in cv->__data.__lock.
        thr1            thr2            thr3
0       pthread_cond_wait
1       lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
0       lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock)
0       lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval)
0                       pthread_cond_signal
1                       lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
1                                       pthread_cond_signal
2                                       lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
2                                         lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2)
2                       lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock)
                          # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE
2                       lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock)
0                         cv->__data.__lock = 0
0                         lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1)
1       lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock)
0       lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock)
          # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting
          # on the internal cv's lock

Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal,
but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of
these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in
pthread_cond_*wait.

We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after
requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait.

Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do
(the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the
kernel.

I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first
one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel.
 The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking
operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional
constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another
constant).

It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other
architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a
starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM
will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP.  The requeue patch has been
(lightly) tested just on x86_64, the wake_op patch on ppc64 kernel running
32-bit and 64-bit NPTL and x86_64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL.

With the following benchmark on UP x86-64 I get:

for i in nptl-orig nptl-requeue nptl-wake_op; do echo time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench; \
for j in 1 2; do echo ( time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench ) 2>&1; done; done

Will post a new version (just x86-64 fixes so that the patch
applies against pthread_cond_signal.S) to libc-hacker ml soon.

Attached is the kernel FUTEX_WAKE_OP patch as well as a simple-minded
testcase that will not test the atomicity of the operation, but at least
check if the threads that should have been woken up are woken up and
whether the arithmetic operation in the kernel gave the expected results.

Ashok Raj 54d5d42404 [PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity
When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.

CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.

- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
  lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
  handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
  it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
  when using generic irq framework.

Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.

MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch.  Will test in a couple days.

The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have 
the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that 
depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. 

(This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like

David Mosberger-Tang badea125d7 [IA64] Fix race in mm-context wrap-around logic.
The patch below should fix a race which could cause stale TLB entries.
Specifically, when 2 CPUs ended up racing for entrance to
wrap_mmu_context().  The losing CPU would find that by the time it
acquired ctx.lock, mm->context already had a valid value, but then it
failed to (re-)check the delayed TLB flushing logic and hence could
end up using a context number when there were still stale entries in
its TLB.  The fix is to check for delayed TLB flushes only after
mm->context is valid (non-zero).  The patch also makes GCC v4.x
happier by defining a non-volatile variant of mm_context_t called
nv_mm_context_t.

Christoph Lameter f521089158 [IA64] Spinlock optimizations
1. Nontemporal store for spin unlock.

A nontemporal store will not update the LRU setting for the cacheline. The
cacheline with the lock may therefore be evicted faster from the cpu
caches. Doing so may be useful since it increases the chance that the
exclusive cache line has been evicted when another cpu is trying to
acquire the lock.

The time between dropping and reacquiring a lock on the same cpu is
typically very small so the danger of the cacheline being
evicted is negligible.

2. Avoid semaphore operation in write_unlock and use nontemporal store

write_lock uses a cmpxchg like the regular spin_lock but write_unlock uses
clear_bit which requires a load and then a loop over a cmpxchg. The
following patch makes write_unlock simply use a nontemporal store to clear
the highest 8 bits. We will then still have the lower 3 bytes (24 bits)
left to count the readers.

Doing the byte store will reduce the number of possible readers from 2^31
to 2^24 = 16 million.

These patches were discussed already:

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111472054400001&r=1&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ia64&m=111401837707849&w=2

The nontemporal stores will only work using GCC. If a compiler is used
that does not support inline asm then fallback C code is used. This
will preserve the byte store but not be able to do the nontemporal stores.
