      arch/ia64/kernel/process.c:636: error: conflicting types for ‘sys_execve’

commit d7627467
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer

Missed the declaration of sys_execve in the ia64 asm/unistd.h (perhaps
because there is no reason for it to be there ... it might be a left over
from the COMPAT code?). Just delete the conflicting version.

      Kusanagi Kouichi authored 
      Parts of the build process were generating files outside the specified
O= directory, causing the build to fail on systems where the sources are
in a read only file system.

Fix it by using $(OUTPUT) on these locations.

Also check that $(OUTPUT) actually exists, just like the top level
kernel Makefile does. Otherwise the failure message emitted is
completely misleading.

      ALSA: emu10k1 - delay the PCM interrupts (add pcm_irq_delay parameter) · 56385a12
      Jaroslav Kysela authored 
      With some hardware combinations, the PCM interrupts are acknowledged
before the period boundary from the emu10k1 chip. The midlevel PCM code
gets confused and the playback stream is interrupted.

It seems that the interrupt processing shift by 2 samples is enough
to fix this issue. This default value does not harm other,
non-affected hardware.

      fs: brlock vfsmount_lock · 99b7db7b
      Nick Piggin authored 
      fs: brlock vfsmount_lock

Use a brlock for the vfsmount lock. It must be taken for write whenever
modifying the mount hash or associated fields, and may be taken for read when
performing mount hash lookups.

A new lock is added for the mnt-id allocator, so it doesn't need to take
the heavy vfsmount write-lock.

The number of atomics should remain the same for fastpath rlock cases, though
code would be slightly slower due to per-cpu access. Scalability is not not be
much improved in common cases yet, due to other locks (ie. dcache_lock) getting
in the way. However path lookups crossing mountpoints should be one case where
scalability is improved (currently requiring the global lock).

The slowpath is slower due to use of brlock. On a 64 core, 64 socket, 32 node
Altix system (high latency to remote nodes), a simple umount microbenchmark
(mount --bind mnt mnt2 ; umount mnt2 loop 1000 times), before this patch it
took 6.8s, afterwards took 7.1s, about 5% slower.

      fs: scale files_lock · 6416ccb7
      Nick Piggin authored 
      fs: scale files_lock

Improve scalability of files_lock by adding per-cpu, per-sb files lists,
protected with an lglock. The lglock provides fast access to the per-cpu lists
to add and remove files. It also provides a snapshot of all the per-cpu lists
(although this is very slow).

One difficulty with this approach is that a file can be removed from the list
by another CPU. We must track which per-cpu list the file is on with a new
variale in the file struct (packed into a hole on 64-bit archs). Scalability
could suffer if files are frequently removed from different cpu's list.

However loads with frequent removal of files imply short interval between
adding and removing the files, and the scheduler attempts to avoid moving
processes too far away. Also, even in the case of cross-CPU removal, the
hardware has much more opportunity to parallelise cacheline transfers with N
cachelines than with 1.

A worst-case test of 1 CPU allocating files subsequently being freed by N CPUs
degenerates to contending on a single lock, which is no worse than before. When
more than one CPU are allocating files, even if they are always freed by
different CPUs, there will be more parallelism than the single-lock case.

Testing results:

On a 2 socket, 8 core opteron, I measure the number of times the lock is taken
to remove the file, the number of times it is removed by the same CPU that
added it, and the number of times it is removed by the same node that added it.

Booting:    locks=  25049 cpu-hits=  23174 (92.5%) node-hits=  23945 (95.6%)
kbuild -j16 locks=2281913 cpu-hits=2208126 (96.8%) node-hits=2252674 (98.7%)
dbench 64   locks=4306582 cpu-hits=4287247 (99.6%) node-hits=4299527 (99.8%)

So a file is removed from the same CPU it was added by over 90% of the time.
It remains within the same node 95% of the time.

Tim Chen ran some numbers for a 64 thread Nehalem system performing a compile.

                throughput
2.6.34-rc2      24.5
+patch          24.9

                us      sys     idle    IO wait (in %)
2.6.34-rc2      51.25   28.25   17.25   3.25
+patch          53.75   18.5    19      8.75

So significantly less CPU time spent in kernel code, higher idle time and
slightly higher throughput.

Single threaded performance difference was within the noise of microbenchmarks.
That is not to say penalty does not exist, the code is larger and more memory
accesses required so it will be slightly slower.

      lglock: introduce special lglock and brlock spin locks

This patch introduces "local-global" locks (lglocks). These can be used to:

- Provide fast exclusive access to per-CPU data, with exclusive access to
  another CPU's data allowed but possibly subject to contention, and to provide
  very slow exclusive access to all per-CPU data.
- Or to provide very fast and scalable read serialisation, and to provide
  very slow exclusive serialisation of data (not necessarily per-CPU data).

Brlocks are also implemented as a short-hand notation for the latter use
case.

Thanks to Paul for local/global naming convention.

      tty: fix fu_list abuse

tty code abuses fu_list, which causes a bug in remount,ro handling.

If a tty device node is opened on a filesystem, then the last link to the inode
removed, the filesystem will be allowed to be remounted readonly. This is
because fs_may_remount_ro does not find the 0 link tty inode on the file sb
list (because the tty code incorrectly removed it to use for its own purpose).
This can result in a filesystem with errors after it is marked "clean".

Taking idea from Christoph's initial patch, allocate a tty private struct
at file->private_data and put our required list fields in there, linking
file and tty. This makes tty nodes behave the same way as other device nodes
and avoid meddling with the vfs, and avoids this bug.

The error handling is not trivial in the tty code, so for this bugfix, I take
the simple approach of using __GFP_NOFAIL and don't worry about memory errors.
This is not a problem because our allocator doesn't fail small allocs as a rule
anyway. So proper error handling is left as an exercise for tty hackers.

[ Arguably filesystem's device inode would ideally be divorced from the
driver's pseudo inode when it is opened, but in practice it's not clear whether
that will ever be worth implementing. ]

      fs: cleanup files_lock locking

Lock tty_files with a new spinlock, tty_files_lock; provide helpers to
manipulate the per-sb files list; unexport the files_lock spinlock.
