      lockdep: fix debug_lock_alloc · 0f2bc27b
      Peter Zijlstra authored
      When we enable DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC but do not enable PROVE_LOCKING and or
      LOCK_STAT, lock_alloc() and lock_release() turn into nops, even though
      we should be doing hlock checking (check=1).
      
      This causes a false warning and a lockdep self-disable.
      
      Rectify this.

      x86: fix 2.6.27rc1 cannot boot more than 8CPUs · b74548e7
      Yinghai Lu authored
      Jeff Chua reported that booting a !bigsmp kernel on a 16-way box
      hangs silently.
      
      this is a long-standing issue, smp start AP cpu could check the
      apic id >=8 etc before trying to start it.
      
      achieve this by moving the def_to_bigsmp check later and skip the
      apicid id > 8

      > you turned it into early_param so now it's NULL injecting vulnerabled.
      > Could you please add checking for NULL str param?
      
      fix that.
      
      Also, change the name of 'str' into 'arg', to make it more apparent
      that this is an optional argument that can be NULL, not a string
      parameter that is empty when unset.

      It seems that tty was already free in disassocate_ctty when it tries

      After moving the lock_kernel before the mutex_unlock, I can no longer

      [ This is a temporary partial fix for the documented and long standing

        kref counting for tty structures and this quickfix will be dropped.

      This reverts commit 2d04a4a7, which made
      it impossible to make the softcursor use the highlight colors.
      
      Yes, the fourth bit should be "blinking", but since we cannot reasonably
      blink in fbcon, highlighting it with a bright background is preferable.

      Adding an extra check for PREALLOCATED_PMDS == 0 [which is compiled out

      Rene Herman authored
      On 32-bit, "apic" is a __setup() param meaning it is parsed rather
      late in the game. Make it an early_param() for apic_printk() use
      by arch/x86/kernel/mpparse.c.
      
      On 64-bit, it already is an early_param().

      nopped debugging printks in arch/x86/kernel/mppparse.c into regular
      ones. The one at the top of smp_scan_config() in particular also
      prints on !CONFIG_SMP/CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC kernels and UP machines
      without anything resembling MP tables which makes their lowly UP
      owners wonder...
      
      Turn the former Dprintk()s into apic_printk()s instead meaning that
      their printing is dependent on passing the apic=verbose (or =debug)
      command line param.
      
      On 32-bit, "apic" is a __setup() param which isn't early enough
      for this code and therefore needs a followup changing it into an
      early_param(). On 64-bit, it already is.

      So set the CPU active before calling the CPU_ONLINE notifier chain,
      there are a handful of notifiers that use set_cpus_allowed().
      
      This fix also solves the problem with x86-microcode. I've sent
      alternative patches for microcode, but as this "rely on
      set_cpus_allowed_ptr() being workable in cpu-hotplug(CPU_ONLINE, ...)"
      assumption seems to be more broad than what we thought, perhaps this fix
      should be applied.
      
      With this patch we define that by the moment CPU_ONLINE is being sent,
      a 'cpu' is online and ready for tasks to be migrated onto it.

      Nice debugging work.
      
      I'd suggest something like the attached (boot tested) patch as the simple
      fix for now.
      
      I expect the benefits from the less synchronized, multiple-in-flight-data
      global queue will still outweigh the costs of dynamic allocations. But
      if worst comes to worst then we just go back to a globally synchronous
      one-at-a-time implementation, but that would be pretty sad!

      sched: fix mysql+oltp regression · 77ae6513
      Mike Galbraith authored
      Defer commit 6d299f1b to the next release.
      
      Testing of the tip/sched/clock tree revealed a mysql+oltp regression
      which bisection eventually traced back to this commit in mainline.
      
      Pertinent test results:  Three run sysbench averages, throughput units
      in read/write requests/sec.
      
      clients         1     2     4     8    16    32    64
      6e0534f2      9646 17876 34774 33868 32230 30767 29441
      2.6.26.1     9112 17936 34652 33383 31929 30665 29232
      6d299f1b      9112 14637 28370 33339 32038 30762 29204
      
      Note: subsequent commits hide the majority of this regression until you
      apply the clock fixes, at which time it reemerges at full magnitude.
      
      We cannot see anything bad about the change itself so we defer it to the
      next release until this problem is fully analysed.

      x86_64: restore the proper NR_IRQS define so larger systems work. · 3c7569b2
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      As pointed out and tracked by Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com>:
      
       Dhaval Giani got:
       kernel BUG at arch/x86/kernel/io_apic_64.c:357!
       invalid opcode: 0000 [1] SMP
       CPU 24
       ...
      
      his system (x3950) has 8 ioapic, irq > 256
      
      This was caused by:
      
             commit 9b7dc567
             Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
             Date:   Fri May 2 20:10:09 2008 +0200
      
                x86: unify interrupt vector defines
      
                The interrupt vector defines are copied 4 times around with minimal
                differences. Move them all into asm-x86/irq_vectors.h
      
      It appears that Thomas did not notice that x86_64 does something
      completely different when he merge irq_vectors.h
      
      We can solve this for 2.6.27 by simply reintroducing the old heuristic
      for setting NR_IRQS on x86_64 to a usable value, which trivially removes
      the regression.
      
      Long term it would be nice to harmonize the handling of ioapic interrupts
      of x86_32 and x86_64 so we don't have this kind of confusion.
      
      Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com> tested an earlier version of
      this patch by YH which confirms simply increasing NR_IRQS fixes the
      problem.

      Having cpu_online_map change during assign_irq_vector can result
      in some really nasty and weird things happening.  The one that
      bit me last time was accessing non existent per cpu memory for non

      This locking was removed in a sloppy x86_64 and x86_32 merge patch.
      
      Guys can we please try and avoid subtly breaking x86 when we are
