2011-01-07fs: dcache reduce branches in lookup pathNick Piggin1-1/+1
Reduce some branches and memory accesses in dcache lookup by adding dentry flags to indicate common d_ops are set, rather than having to check them. This saves a pointer memory access (dentry->d_op) in common path lookup situations, and saves another pointer load and branch in cases where we have d_op but not the particular operation. Patched with: git grep -E '[.>]([[:space:]])*d_op([[:space:]])*=' | xargs sed -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)->d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\1, \2);/' -e 's/\([^\t ]*\)\.d_op = \(.*\);/d_set_d_op(\&\1, \2);/' -i Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: icache RCU free inodesNick Piggin1-2/+8
RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: dcache rationalise dget variantsNick Piggin1-1/+1
dget_locked was a shortcut to avoid the lazy lru manipulation when we already held dcache_lock (lru manipulation was relatively cheap at that point). However, how that the lru lock is an innermost one, we never hold it at any caller, so the lock cost can now be avoided. We already have well working lazy dcache LRU, so it should be fine to defer LRU manipulations to scan time. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2011-01-07fs: dcache scale dentry refcountNick Piggin1-1/+1
Make d_count non-atomic and protect it with d_lock. This allows us to ensure a 0 refcount dentry remains 0 without dcache_lock. It is also fairly natural when we start protecting many other dentry members with d_lock. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>
2011-01-07fs: change d_delete semanticsNick Piggin1-1/+1
Change d_delete from a dentry deletion notification to a dentry caching advise, more like ->drop_inode. Require it to be constant and idempotent, and not take d_lock. This is how all existing filesystems use the callback anyway. This makes fine grained dentry locking of dput and dentry lru scanning much simpler. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

2011-01-03ARM: pxa: fix page table corruption on resumeAric D. Blumer1-2/+2
Before this patch, the following error would sometimes occur after a resume on pxa3xx: /path/to/mm/memory.c:144: bad pmd 8040542e. The problem was that a temporary page table mapping was being improperly restored. The PXA3xx resume code creates a temporary mapping of resume_turn_on_mmu to avoid a prefetch abort. The pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu code requires that the r1 register holding the address of this mapping not be modified, however, resume_turn_on_mmu does modify it. It is mostly correct in that r1 receives the base table address, but it may also get other bits in 13:0. This results in pxa3xx_resume_after_mmu restoring the original mapping to the wrong place, corrupting memory and leaving the temporary mapping in place.

2010-12-27x86/microcode: Fix double vfree() and remove redundant pointer checks before ↵Jesper Juhl1-11/+5
vfree() In arch/x86/kernel/microcode_intel.c::generic_load_microcode() we have this: while (leftover) { ... if (get_ucode_data(mc, ucode_ptr, mc_size) || microcode_sanity_check(mc) < 0) { vfree(mc); break; } ... } if (mc) vfree(mc); This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by just removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be freed nicely just after we break out of the loop. There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of checks for pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree(). That's completely redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with being passed a NULL pointer. Removing the redundant checks yields a nice size decrease for the object file.

2010-12-19ARM: fix cache-feroceon-l2 after stack based kmap_atomic()Nicolas Pitre1-18/+19
Since commit 3e4d3af501 "mm: stack based kmap_atomic()", it is actively wrong to rely on fixed kmap type indices (namely KM_L2_CACHE) as kmap_atomic() totally ignores them and a concurrent instance of it may happily reuse any slot for any purpose. Because kmap_atomic() is now able to deal with reentrancy, we can get rid of the ad hoc mapping here. While the code is made much simpler, there is a needless cache flush introduced by the usage of __kunmap_atomic(). It is not clear if the performance difference to remove that is worth the cost in code maintenance (I don't think there are that many highmem users on that platform anyway) but that should be reconsidered when/if someone cares enough to do some measurements.

2010-12-18ARM: smp: avoid incrementing mm_users on CPU startupRussell King1-1/+0
We should not be incrementing mm_users when we startup a secondary CPU - doing so results in mm_users incrementing by one each time we hotplug a CPU, which will eventually wrap, and will cause problems. Other architectures such as x86 do not increment mm_users, but only mm_count, so we follow that pattern. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-12-18x86, kexec: Limit the crashkernel address appropriatelyH. Peter Anvin1-3/+14
Keep the crash kernel address below 512 MiB for 32 bits and 896 MiB for 64 bits. For 32 bits, this retains compatibility with earlier kernel releases, and makes it work even if the vmalloc= setting is adjusted. For 64 bits, we should be able to increase this substantially once a hard-coded limit in kexec-tools is fixed. Signed-off-by: H.

2010-12-18arch/tile: handle rt_sigreturn() more cleanlyChris Metcalf4-13/+29
The current tile rt_sigreturn() syscall pattern uses the common idiom of loading up pt_regs with all the saved registers from the time of the signal, then anticipating the fact that we will clobber the ABI "return value" register (r0) as we return from the syscall by setting the rt_sigreturn return value to whatever random value was in the pt_regs for r0. However, this breaks in our 64-bit kernel when running "compat" tasks, since we always sign-extend the "return value" register to properly handle returned pointers that are in the upper 2GB of the 32-bit compat address space. Doing this to the sigreturn path then causes occasional random corruption of the 64-bit r0 register. Instead, we stop doing the crazy "load the return-value register" hack in sigreturn. We already have some sigreturn-specific assembly code that we use to pass the pt_regs pointer to C code. We extend that code to also set the link register to point to a spot a few instructions after the usual syscall return address so we don't clobber the saved r0. Now it no longer matters what the rt_sigreturn syscall returns, and the pt_regs structure can be cleanly and completely reloaded. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>
2010-12-18arch/tile: handle CLONE_SETTLS in copy_thread(), not user spaceChris Metcalf1-0/+8
Previously we were just setting up the "tp" register in the new task as started by clone() in libc. However, this is not quite right, since in principle a signal might be delivered to the new task before it had its TLS set up. (Of course, this race window still exists for resetting the libc getpid() cached value in the new task, in principle. But in any case, we are now doing this exactly the way all other architectures do it.) This change is important for 2.6.37 since the tile glibc we will be submitting upstream will not set TLS in user space any more, so it will only work on a kernel that has this fix. It should also be taken for 2.6.36.x in the stable tree if possible. Signed-off-by: Chris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com> Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>

2010-12-17x86: avoid high BIOS area when allocating address spaceBjorn Helgaas2-1/+5
This prevents allocation of the last 2MB before 4GB. The experiment described here shows Windows 7 ignoring the last 1MB: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23542#c27 This patch ignores the top 2MB instead of just 1MB because H. Peter Anvin says "There will be ROM at the top of the 32-bit address space; it's a fact of the architecture, and on at least older systems it was common to have a shadow 1 MiB below." Acked-by: H.
