currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution
using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock.

With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held.  It also
allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as
we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis.  It is now necessary
that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on
multiple processors.

All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64
has been compile tested only.

The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks:

patch 1:  Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls
patches 2-7:  Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution
patches 8-9:  Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler
execution.

[PATCH] ipmi: add timer thread

We must poll for responses to commands when interrupts aren't in use.  The
default poll interval is based on using a kernel timer, which varies with HZ.
For character-based interfaces like KCS and SMIC though, that can be way too
slow (>15 minutes to flash a new firmware with KCS, >20 seconds to retrieve
the sensor list).

This creates a low-priority kernel thread to poll more often.  If the state
machine is idle, so is the kernel thread.  But if there's an active command,
it polls quite rapidly.  This decrease a firmware flash time from 15 minutes
to 1.5 minutes, and the sensor list time to 4.5 seconds, on a Dell PowerEdge
x8x system.

The timer-based polling remains, to ensure some amount of responsiveness even
under high user process CPU load.

Checking for a stopped timer at rmmod now uses atomics and del_timer_sync() to
ensure safe stoppage.

This patch changes the retry/reset mechanism to be as follows:

Before retrying a command, clear the state of the BT controller such that the
flags represent ready for a new transaction.  This increases the chance of
success of the restarted transaction.

[PATCH] ipmi: various si cleanup

A number of small changes for the various system interface drivers,
consolidated from a number of patches from Matt Domsch.

Clear B2H_ATN and drain the BMC message buffer on command timeout.  This
prevents further commands from failing after a timeout.

Add bt_debug and smic_debug module parameters, expose them in sysfs.  This
lets you enable and disable debugging messages at runtime.

Unsigned jiffies math in ipmi_si_intf.c causes a too-large value to be passed
to ->event() after jiffies wrap-around.  The BT driver had caught this, but
didn't know how to fix it.  Now all calls to ->event() use a sane value for
time.

Increase timeout for commands handed to the BT driver from 2 seconds to 5
seconds.  This is necessary particularly when the previous command was a
"Clear SEL", as that command completes, yet the BMC isn't really ready to
handle another command yet.

Silence BT debugging messages which were being printed on the console.

Increase SMIC timeout form 1/10s to 2s.  This is needed on Dell PowerEdge 2650
and PowerEdge 750 with ERA/O cards to allow commands to complete without
timing out.

Adds kcs_debug module param, to match behavior of BT and SMIC.  This also
prevents messages from being sent to the console unless explicitly requested.

19 years ago[PATCH] as: cooperating processes
Nick Piggin [Mon, 7 Nov 2005 08:59:53 +0000 (00:59 -0800)]
[PATCH] as: cooperating processes

Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests
close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about
whether or not to do anticipatory waiting.

Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu>

Performance testing from Seelam:

I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS.  I
tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called
Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist
(which I called Seelam).

I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory
and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9.  Only a single processor is used for
the experiments.  I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file
system.

Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading  one Linux source trees using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees
using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background
and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1.

Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below:

             AS                     Nick          Seelam
ex1:      0m25.813s               0m27.859s      0m27.640s
ex2:      1m11.468s               1m13.918s      1m5.869s
ex3:      81m44.352s             10m38.572s      6m47.994s

The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in
as_update_iohist.  (akpm: that's not part of this patch.  So this patch is
"Nick").

ifa->ifa_address and ifa->ifa_mask are defined as __u32, but used as if they
were char[4].

Network code uses htons() to convert it.  So UML's method to access these
fields is wrong for bigendians (e.g.  s390)

I replaced bytewise copying by memcpy(), maybe even that might be removed, if
ifa->ifa_address/mask may be used immediately.

Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso [Mon, 7 Nov 2005 08:58:46 +0000 (00:58 -0800)]
[PATCH] uml: fix syscall stubs

Jeff Dike noted that the assembly code for syscall stubs is misassembled with
GCC 3.2.3: the values copied in registers weren't preserved between one asm()
and the following one.

So I fixed the thing by rewriting the __asm__ constraints more like unistd.h
ones.

Note: in syscall6 case I had to add one more instruction (i.e.  moving arg6 in
eax and shuffling things around) - it's needed for the function to be valid in
general (we can't load the value from the stack, relative to ebp, because we
change it), but could be avoided since we actually use a constant as param 6.

The only fix would be to turn stub_syscall6 to a macro and use a "i"
constraint for arg6 (i.e., specify it's a constant value).

[PATCH] cpu hoptlug: avoid usage of smp_processor_id() in preemptible code

Replace smp_processor_id() with any_online_cpu(cpu_online_map) in order to
avoid lots of "BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001]
code:..." messages in case taking a cpu online fails.

All the traces start at the last notifier_call_chain(...) in kernel/cpu.c.
Since we hold the cpu_control semaphore it shouldn't be any problem to access
cpu_online_map.

The reason why cpu_up failed is simply that the cpu that was supposed to be
taken online wasn't even there.  That is because on s390 we never know when a
new cpu comes and therefore cpu_possible_map consists of only ones and doesn't
reflect reality.
