[PATCH] x86_64/i386: Remove preempt disable calls in lowlevel IPI
I noticed that some lowlevel send_IPI_mask helpers had a hotplug/preempt
race whereupon the cpu_online_map was read before disabling preemption;
...
cpumask_t mask = cpu_online_map;
int cpu = get_cpu();
cpu_clear(cpu, mask);
...
But then i realised that there is no need for these lowlevel functions to
be going through all this trouble when all the callers are already made
hotplug/preempt safe.

[PATCH] x86_64: Move int 3 handler to debug stack and allow to increase it.
This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
%gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

[PATCH] uml: fix missing KBUILD_BASENAME
2.6.15-mm1 caused kernel-offsets.c to stop compiling with a syntax error in a
header. The problem was with KBUILD_BASENAME, which didn't get a definition
with the by-hand compilation in the main UML Makefile.
This was OK before since the expansion was syntactically the same as the
KBUILD_BASENAME token. With -mm1, the expansion is now a quote-delimited
string, so there needs to be a definition of it.
Since kernel-offsets.c is basically the same as other arches' asm-offsets.c,

asm-offsets.c. kernel-offsets.c is in arch/um/sys-$(SUBARCH), i.e. sys-i386
and sys-x86_64, while kbuild expects it to be in arch/um/kernel.
kernel-offsets.c is moved to
arch/um/include/sysdep-$(SUBARCH)/kernel-offsets.h, which is included by
arch/um/kernel/asm-offsets.c. With that, include/asm-um/asm-offsets.h is
generated automatically. kernel-offsets.h continues to exist because it needs
to be accessible to userspace UML code, and include/asm-um isn't. So, a
symlink is made from arch/um/include/kernel-offsets.h to
include/asm-um/asm-offsets.h.

[PATCH] powerpc/64: per cpu data optimisations
The current ppc64 per cpu data implementation is quite slow. eg:
lhz 11,18(13) /* smp_processor_id() */
ld 9,.LC63-.LCTOC1(30) /* per_cpu__variable_name */
ld 8,.LC61-.LCTOC1(30) /* __per_cpu_offset */
sldi 11,11,3 /* form index into __per_cpu_offset */
mr 10,9
ldx 9,11,8 /* __per_cpu_offset[smp_processor_id()] */
ldx 0,10,9 /* load per cpu data */
5 loads for something that is supposed to be fast, pretty awful. One
reason for the large number of loads is that we have to synthesize 2
64bit constants (per_cpu__variable_name and __per_cpu_offset).
By putting __per_cpu_offset into the paca we can avoid the 2 loads
associated with it:
ld 11,56(13) /* paca->data_offset */
ld 9,.LC59-.LCTOC1(30) /* per_cpu__variable_name */
ldx 0,9,11 /* load per cpu data
Longer term we can should be able to do even better than 3 loads.
If per_cpu__variable_name wasnt a 64bit constant and paca->data_offset
was in a register we could cut it down to one load. A suggestion from
Rusty is to use gcc's __thread extension here. In order to do this we
would need to free up r13 (the __thread register and where the paca
currently is). So far Ive had a few unsuccessful attempts at doing that :)
The patch also allocates per cpu memory node local on NUMA machines.
This patch from Rusty has been sitting in my queue _forever_ but stalled
when I hit the compiler bug. Sorry about that.
Finally I also only allocate per cpu data for possible cpus, which comes
straight out of the x86-64 port. On a pseries kernel (with NR_CPUS == 128)
and 4 possible cpus we see some nice gains:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4012228 212860 3799368 0 0 162424
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4016200 212984 3803216 0 0 162424
A saving of 3.75MB. Quite nice for smaller machines. Note: we now have
to be careful of per cpu users that touch data for !possible cpus.
At this stage it might be worth making the NUMA and possible cpu
optimisations generic, but per cpu init is done so early we have to be
careful that all architectures have their possible map setup correctly.
