6004e1b7ef [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Share interrupt vectors when there is a large number of interrupt sources
Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression
patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI.  It is meant for
a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt
pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc.

The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with
I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540.  This is much bigger
than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64).  Also, there aren't enough
vectors to go around.  There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting
the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F.  So, my patch
attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

89b831ef8b [PATCH] x86_64: Support for AMD specific MCE Threshold.
MC4_MISC - DRAM Errors Threshold Register realized under AMD K8 Rev F.
This register is used to count correctable and uncorrectable ECC errors that occur during DRAM read operations.
The user may interface through sysfs files in order to change the threshold configuration.

bank%d/error_count - reads current error count, write to clear.
bank%d/interrupt_enable - set/clear interrupt enable.
bank%d/threshold_limit - read/write the threshold limit.

APIC vector 0xF9 in hw_irq.h.
5 software defined bank ids in mce.h.
new apic.c function to setup threshold apic lvt.
defaults to interrupt off, count enabled, and threshold limit max.
sysfs interface created on /sys/devices/system/threshold.

AK: added some ifdefs to make it compile on UP

a2f1b42490 [PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone
Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.

As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
dealing with one DMA zone.  We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.

But this has always caused problems since then because
device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
it can deal with many zones successfully.

So this patch adds both zones.

This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
was not enough memory.

Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
(like transmit rings or other metadata).  They tended to allocate memory
in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
many devices.  With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.

One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
it seems to be the most common restriction.

The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.

For other architectures who don't set up this
new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
enough.

One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64  use GFP_DMA
(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
ugly and is now obsolete.

These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.

c5e24354ef [PATCH] powerpc: Turn cpu_irq_down into kexec_cpu_down
We currently have a ppc_md member called cpu_irq_down, which disables IRQs
for the cpu in question. The only caller of cpu_irq_down is the kexec code.

On pSeries we need to do more than just teardown IRQs at kexec time, so rename
the ppc_md member to kexec_cpu_down and expand it. The pSeries code needs to
know, and other platforms might too, whether we're doing a crash shutdown (ie.
panicking) or a regular kexec, so add a flag for that.

The pSeries implementation of kexec_cpu_down does an unregister VPA call, which
tells the Hypervisor to stop writing stuff into our pacas. Without this we can
get weird memory corruption bugs when we kexec, caused by the Hypervisor
writing into the first kernel's pacas which happens to be somewhere interesting
in the second kernel's memory.

20dcae3243 [PATCH] aio: remove kioctx from mm_struct
Sync iocbs have a life cycle that don't need a kioctx.  Their retrying, if
any, is done in the context of their owner who has allocated them on the
stack.

The sole user of a sync iocb's ctx reference was aio_complete() checking for
an elevated iocb ref count that could never happen.  No path which grabs an
iocb ref has access to sync iocbs.

If we were to implement sync iocb cancelation it would be done by the owner of
the iocb using its on-stack reference.

Removing this chunk from aio_complete allows us to remove the entire kioctx
instance from mm_struct, reducing its size by a third.  On a i386 testing box
the slab size went from 768 to 504 bytes and from 5 to 8 per page.

51c6f666fc [PATCH] mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work
The address based work estimate for unmapping (for lockbreak) is and always
was horribly inefficient for sparse mappings.  The problem is most simply
explained with an example:

If we find a pgd is clear, we still have to call into unmap_page_range
PGDIR_SIZE / ZAP_BLOCK_SIZE times, each time checking the clear pgd, in
order to progress the working address to the next pgd.

The fundamental way to solve the problem is to keep track of the end
address we've processed and pass it back to the higher layers.

From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

  Modification to completely get away from address based work estimate
  and instead use an abstract count, with a very small cost for empty
  entries as opposed to present pages.

  On 2.6.14-git2, ppc64, and CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, mapping and unmapping 1TB
  of virtual address space takes 1.69s; with the following patch applied,
  this operation can be done 1000 times in less than 0.01s

From: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

With CONFIG_HUTETLB_PAGE=n:

mm/memory.c: In function `unmap_vmas':
mm/memory.c:779: warning: division by zero

Due to

			zap_work -= (end - start) /
					(HPAGE_SIZE / PAGE_SIZE);

So make the dummy HPAGE_SIZE non-zero

95e861db3e [PATCH] reorder struct files_struct
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'

In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS.  So other threads doing
read()/write()/...  calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.

Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.

It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine.  See

bd5d080ab9 [ARM] 3160/1: SharpSL: Add driver for Akita specific GPIOs
Patch from Richard Purdie

Add a driver for the extra GPIOs found on the Sharp SL-C1000 (Akita).
These GPIOs are found on a Maxim MAX7310 I2C i/o expander chip. A
generic GPIO driver for the MAX7310 was attempted but this mini
driver is a much simpler and much more effective solution avoiding
several issues and complexity the generic driver had (as discussed
on LKML).

The platform device is required so the device parent can be set
correctly which ensures the device is one of the last to suspend
and first to resume. Whilst the i2c suspend/resume calls can be
influenced, nothing guarantees this is easlier/later than the
subsystems the gpios are used on which are all independent of i2c
(sound, irda, video/backlight etc.).

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things
like that.  What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic
code.  The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's
going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc
that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.
