Adrian Bunk 2308acca65 [PATCH] "tiny-make-id16-support-optional" fixes
It seems the "make UID16 support optional" patch was checked when it
edited the -tiny tree some time ago, but it wasn't checked whether it
still matches the current situation when it was submitted for inclusion
in -mm. This patch fixes the following bugs:
- ARCH_S390X does no longer exist, nowadays this has to be expressed
  through (S390 && 64BIT)
- in five architecture specific Kconfig files the UID16 options
  weren't removed

Additionally, it changes the fragile negative dependencies of UID16 to
positive dependencies (new architectures are more likely to not require
UID16 support).

Matt Mackall 64ca9004b8 [PATCH] Make vm86 support optional
This adds an option to remove vm86 support under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  Saves
about 5k.

This version eliminates most of the #ifdefs of the previous version and
instead uses function stubs in vm86.h.  Also, release_vm86_irqs is moved
from asm-i386/irq.h to a more appropriate home in vm86.h so that the stubs
can live together.

There's one scsi driver which doesn't compile due to weird __VA_ARGS__ tricks
and the rather useful scsi/sd.c is currently getting an ICE.  None of the new
SAS code compiles, due to extensive use of anonymous unions.  The V4L guys are
very good at exploiting the gcc-2.95.x macro expansion bug (_why_ does each
driver need to implement its own debug macros?) and various people keep on
sneaking in anonymous unions, which are rather nice.

Plus anonymous unions are rather useful.

Paul Jackson c417f0242e [PATCH] cpuset: remove test for null cpuset from alloc code path
Remove a couple of more lines of code from the cpuset hooks in the page
allocation code path.

There was a check for a NULL cpuset pointer in the routine
cpuset_update_task_memory_state() that was only needed during system boot,
after the memory subsystem was initialized, before the cpuset subsystem was
initialized, to catch a NULL task->cpuset pointer.

Add a cpuset_init_early() routine, just before the mem_init() call in
init/main.c, that sets up just enough of the init tasks cpuset structure to
render cpuset_update_task_memory_state() calls harmless.

Matt Mackall 10cef60295 [PATCH] slob: introduce the SLOB allocator
configurable replacement for slab allocator

This adds a CONFIG_SLAB option under CONFIG_EMBEDDED.  When CONFIG_SLAB is
disabled, the kernel falls back to using the 'SLOB' allocator.

SLOB is a traditional K&R/UNIX allocator with a SLAB emulation layer,
similar to the original Linux kmalloc allocator that SLAB replaced.  It's
signicantly smaller code and is more memory efficient.  But like all
similar allocators, it scales poorly and suffers from fragmentation more
than SLAB, so it's only appropriate for small systems.

It's been tested extensively in the Linux-tiny tree.  I've also
stress-tested it with make -j 8 compiles on a 3G SMP+PREEMPT box (not
recommended).

Here's a comparison for otherwise identical builds, showing SLOB saving
nearly half a megabyte of RAM:

NeilBrown 2604b703b6 [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from md
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a
'personality' (which is often in a separate module).

These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'.  The numbers
are use to:
 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities
    are recorded
 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular
    personality.

Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers.
The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup
only happens very rarely).  Module identification can be done using an alias
based on level rather than 'personality' number.

The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one
personality.  This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from
level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2
personalities.

With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an
exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be
added independently.

This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run
routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md.
 This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a
chunk-size set.

David Howells b0e15190ea [PATCH] NOMMU: Make SYSV IPC SHM use ramfs facilities on NOMMU
The attached patch makes the SYSV IPC shared memory facilities use the new
ramfs facilities on a no-MMU kernel.

The following changes are made:

 (1) There are now shmem_mmap() and shmem_get_unmapped_area() functions to
     allow the IPC SHM facilities to commune with the tiny-shmem and shmem
     code.

 (2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying
     the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to
     attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode.

 (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

Also, disable on sparc64 - a number of people report breakage.  Probably
a compiler bug, but it's quite possible that it tickles some latent
kernel problem too.

It still defaults to 'y' everywhere else (when enabled through
EXPERIMENTAL), and Dave Jones points out that Fedora (and RHEL4) has
been building with size optimizations for a long time on x86, x86-64,
ia64, s390, s390x, ppc32 and ppc64.  So it is really only moderately
experimental, but the sparc64 breakage certainly shows that it can

Linus Torvalds 0910b444bc Expose "Optimize for size" option for everybody
Let's put my money where my mouth is.  Smaller code is almost always
faster, if only because a single I$ miss ends up leaving a lot of cycles
to make up for.  And system software - kernels in particular - are known
for taking more cache misses than most other kinds.

On my random config, this made the kernel about 10% smaller, and lmbench
seems to say that it's pretty uniformly faster too. Your milage may vary.

Nick Piggin 5bfb5d690f [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks
Run idle threads with preempt disabled.

Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?

Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.

We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.

After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.

By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Eric W. Biederman f2b36db692 [PATCH] i386: move apic init in init_IRQs
All kinds of ugliness exists because we don't initialize
the apics during init_IRQs.
- We calibrate jiffies in non apic mode even when we are using apics.
- We have to have special code to initialize the apics when non-smp.
- The legacy i8259 must exist and be setup correctly, even
  when we won't use it past initialization.
- The kexec on panic code must restore the state of the io_apics.
- init/main.c needs a special case for !smp smp_init on x86

In addition to pure code movement I needed a couple
of non-obvious changes:
- Move setup_boot_APIC_clock into APIC_late_time_init for
  simplicity.
- Use cpu_khz to generate a better approximation of loops_per_jiffies
  so I can verify the timer interrupt is working.
- Call setup_apic_nmi_watchdog again after cpu_khz is initialized on
  the boot cpu.

Olof Johansson ffdfc40976 [PATCH] Add rdinit parameter to pick early userspace init
Since early userspace was added, there's no way to override which init to
run from it.  Some people tack on an extra cpio archive with a link from
/init depending on what they want to run, but that's sometimes impractical.

Changing the "init=" to also override the early userspace isn't feasible,
since it is still used to indicate what init to run from disk when early
userspace has completed doing whatever it's doing (i.e.  load filesystem
modules and drivers).

Instead, introduce "rdinit=" and make it override the default "/init" if
specified.

Avery, Brian c1d7ef70a7 [PATCH] Add warning `init=' to init/main.c
I passed init=/mylinuxrc to the kernel on the command line.  The kernel
silently dropped down to exec /sbin/init.  It turned out that /mylinuxrc
had improper permissions.  Without any warning message from the kernel that
something was wrong it took awhile to find the issue.  The patch below adds
a warning.

Ingo Molnar 8446f1d391 [PATCH] detect soft lockups
This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.

When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second.  If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident).  The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

Jay Lan f220ab2a51 [PATCH] Improper initrd failure message at boot time
On system boot up, there was an failure reported to boot.msg:

     <5>Trying to move old root to /initrd ... failed

According to initrd(4) man page, step #7 of BOOT-UP OPERATION
is described as below:
          7. If the normal root file has directory /initrd, device
          /dev/ram0 is moved from  /  to  /initrd.   Otherwise  if
          directory  /initrd  does  not  exist device /dev/ram0 is
          unmounted.

We got service calls from customers concerning about this failure message
at boot time.  Many systems do not have /initrd and thus the message can be
changed in the case of non-existing /initrd so that it does not sound like
a failure of the system.

Venkatesh Pallipadi 8a9e1b0f56 [PATCH] Platform SMIs and their interferance with tsc based delay calibration
Issue:
Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
(System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
like legacy keyboard emulation).

Description:
The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
(0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
(1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
(2)   wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
(3)   Note down current tsc (tsc1)
(4)   loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
(5)   check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
loops_per_jiffy estimate

Consider the following cases
Case 1:
If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
interval).

Case 2:
If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().

Solution:
The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
user.

Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

Christoph Lameter e7c8d5c995 [PATCH] node local per-cpu-pages
This patch modifies the way pagesets in struct zone are managed.

Each zone has a per-cpu array of pagesets.  So any particular CPU has some
memory in each zone structure which belongs to itself.  Even if that CPU is
not local to that zone.

So the patch relocates the pagesets for each cpu to the node that is nearest
to the cpu instead of allocating the pagesets in the (possibly remote) target
zone.  This means that the operations to manage pages on remote zone can be
done with information available locally.

We play a macro trick so that non-NUMA pmachines avoid the additional
pointer chase on the page allocator fastpath.
