[PATCH] i386: Account spinlocks to the caller during profiling for !FP kernels
This ports the algorithm from x86-64 (with improvements) to i386.
Previously this only worked for frame pointer enabled kernels.
But spinlocks have a very simple stack frame that can be manually
analyzed. Do this.

[PATCH] x86-64 TIF flags for debug regs and io bitmap in ctxsw
Hello,
Following my discussion with Andi. Here is a patch that introduces
two new TIF flags to simplify the context switch code in __switch_to().
The idea is to minimize the number of cache lines accessed in the common
case, i.e., when neither the debug registers nor the I/O bitmap are used.
This patch covers the x86-64 modifications. A patch for i386 follows.
Changelog:
- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags
For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.
x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.
I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.
The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow
The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable
I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.
This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP
capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node
numbers and pass them to the program.
AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code:
Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID
Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.

[PATCH] Add initalization of the RDTSCP auxilliary values
This patch adds initalization of the RDTSCP auxilliary values to CPU numbers
to time.c. If RDTSCP is available, the MSRs are written with the respective
values. It can be later used to initalize per-cpu timekeeping variables.
AK: Some cleanups. Move externs into headers and fix CPU hotplug.
[PATCH] x86: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUs
AK: This redoes the changes I temporarily reverted.
Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.
What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.
Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.
I've had good experiences with having this on by default on x86-64.
It turns nasty hangs into easier to debug oopses.
Enable the local APIC wdog by default for systems newer than 2004.
This comes from a strange compromise: according to arjan the reason
it was off by default was some old IBM systems that corrupted
registered when NMI happened in SMI. Can't remember more specific,
but >= 2004 should avoid these. It's probably overly broad
because most older systems should be ok (and the really old systems
won't be supported by the local apic watchdog anyways)

The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.
A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.
This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

[PATCH] load_module: no BUG if module_subsys uninitialized
Invoking load_module() before param_sysfs_init() is called crashes in
mod_sysfs_setup(), since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet.
In my case, net-pf-1 is getting modprobed as a result of hotplug trying to
create a UNIX socket. Calls to hotplug begin after the topology_init
initcall.
Another patch for the same symptom (module_subsys-initialize-earlier.patch)
moves param_sysfs_init() to the subsys initcalls, but this is still not
early enough in the boot process in some cases. In particular,
topology_init() causes /sbin/hotplug to run, which requests net-pf-1 (the
UNIX socket protocol) which can be compiled as a module. Moving
param_sysfs_init() to the postcore initcalls fixes this particular race,
but there might well be other cases where a usermodehelper causes a module
to load earlier still.
The patch makes load_module() return an error rather than crashing the
kernel if invoked before module_subsys is initialized.

kbuild: create output directory for hostprogs with O=.. build
hostprogs-y only supported creating output directory for the final
program. Extend this to also cover the situation where a .o
file (used when host program is made from compositie objects) is
locate in another directory.
First user of this is the built-in lxdialog that.

kbuild: make V=2 tell why a target is rebuild
tell why a a target got build
enabled by make V=2
Output (listed in the order they are checked):
(1) - due to target is PHONY
(2) - due to target missing
(3) - due to: file1.h file2.h
(4) - due to command line change
(5) - due to missing .cmd file
(6) - due to target not in $(targets)
(1) We always build PHONY targets
(2) No target, so we better build it
(3) Prerequisite is newer than target
(4) The command line stored in the file named dir/.target.cmd
differed from actual command line. This happens when compiler
options changes
(5) No dir/.target.cmd file (used to store command line)
(6) No dir/.target.cmd file and target not listed in $(targets)
This is a good hint that there is a bug in the kbuild file

kbuild: modpost on vmlinux regardless of CONFIG_MODULES
Based on patch from: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp>
This has the advantage that all section mismatch checks are run regardless
of modules being enabled or not.
When running modpost on vmlinux output:
MODPOST vmlinux
When running modpost on modules output count of modules like this:
MODPOST 5 modules
projects / linux-2.6 / log
