This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature. Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before. Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written. In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'. In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature from procfs to debugfs. Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use the debug feature had to be adjusted. Signed-off-by:

Cope with a conditional i386 definition, which is wrong for UML. Before we just used that one, but it wasn't defined for CONFIG_SMP, so in that case we got link errors. Signed-off-by:

Clean up the hot-unplugging code. There is now an id procedure which is called to figure out what device we're talking to. The error messages from that are now done from mconsole_remove instead of the driver. remove is now called with the device number, after it has been checked, so doesn't need to do sanity checking on it.

kmalloc wasn't being disabled during panic. This patch ensures that, no matter how UML is exiting, it is disabled. This matters because part of the cleanup is to remove the umid file, which involves readdir, which calls malloc. This must map to libc malloc, rather than kmalloc or vmalloc. Signed-off-by:

In skas mode, the call to uml_idle_timer permanently shut off the virtual timer, resulting in no timer ticks to anything but the idle thread. This is likely the cause of the soft lockups that are seen sporadically in recent UMLs. Signed-off-by:

Fix the do_fork calling convention: normal arch pass the regs and the new sp value to do_fork instead of NULL. Currently the arch-independent code ignores these values, while the UML code (actually it's copy_thread) gets the right values by itself. With this patch, things are fixed up. Signed-off-by:

In the cpu hotplug case, per-cpu data possibly isn't initialized even the system state is 'running'. As the comments say in the original code, some console drivers assume per-cpu resources have been allocated. radeon fb is one such driver, which uses kmalloc. After a CPU is down, the per-cpu data of slab is freed, so the system crashed when printing some info. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes register saving so that each register is only saved once, and adds missing saving of %cr8 on x86-64. Some reordering so that save/restore is more logical/safer (segment registers should be restored after gdt). Signed-off-by:

The following patch moves the recalculation of nr_copy_pages so that the right number is used in the calculation of the size of memory and swap needed. It prevents swsusp from attempting to suspend if there is not enough memory and/or swap (which is unlikely anyway). Signed-off-by:

Dead CPU notifies online CPU that it's dead using cpu_state variable. After switching to physical cpu hotplug, we forgot setting the variable. This patch fixes it. Currently only __cpu_die uses it. We changed other locations for consistency in case others use it. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides an option to switch broadcast or use mask version for sending IPI's. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined, we choose not to use broadcast shortcuts by default, otherwise we choose broadcast mode as default. both cases, one can change this via startup cmd line option, to choose no-broadcast mode. no_ipi_broadcast=1 This is provided on request from Andi Kleen, since he doesnt agree with replacing IPI shortcuts as a solution for CPU hotplug. Without removing broadcast IPI's, it would mean lots of new code for __cpu_up() path, which would acheive the same results. Signed-off-by:

Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour. This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64 systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the API's. The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just not use broadcast anymore. Signed-off-by:

Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64 ----------------------------------------- This supports logical CPU online and offline. - Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well. - idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup TBD: 1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2) 2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past boot to support cpu hotplug. Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from Andi Kleen. Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and __devinitdata. If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit, and __cpudevinit. Signed-off-by:

I really wish smp_prepare_cpu() would disappear eventually. In the interim this is ideally a weak function, so we dont end up changing several places to define this dummy in headers. Today since the dummy declaration is done only in drivers/base/cpu.c but the function is called in kernel/power/smp.c i get undefined reference in my cpu hotplug code for x86_64 under development.
