      [PATCH] kallsyms in proc · 51726557
      Rusty Russell authored
       This adds a /proc/kallsyms if you have CONFIG_KALLSYMS in your
      kernel.  The output is nm-like, with symbols in caps (global) if
      exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL, rather than the normal static
      vs. non-static differentiation.
      
      This is useful for things like performance monitoring tools (profiling
      etc) that want to match addresses to names in user space.

      [PATCH] loop: remove the balance_dirty_pages() call · 80e8ebf2
      Andrew Morton authored
      The loop thread is getting permanently stuck in balance_dirty_pages()
      (nr_writeback is exceeded) because the loop thread itself is responsible for
      completing writeback on behalf of higher layers.
      
      So we need to take that out: don't throttle the loop thread.  Throttle the
      tasks which are generating all the dirty data instead.

      [PATCH] /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes · cefe53f8
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
      
      This resurrects the old /proc/sys/vm/free_pages functionality: the ability to
      tell page reclaim how much free memory to maintain.
      
      This may be needed for specialised networking applications, and it provides
      an interesting way to stress the kernel: set it very low so atomic
      allocations can easily fail.
      
      Also, a 16G ppc64 box currently cruises along at 1M free memory, which is
      surely too little to supporthigh-speed networking.  We have not changed that
      setting here, but it is now possible to do so.
      
      The patch also reduces the amount of free memory which the VM will maintain
      in ZONE_HIGHMEM, as it is almost always wasted memory.

      [PATCH] DAC960 fix for fibre channel transfer rate · 1b0a5d8e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Dave Olien <dmo@osdl.org>
      
      The change makes the transfer rate numbers come out right for the fibre
      channel version of this controller.
      
      For 1G FC, the NegotiatedSynchronousMegaTransfers is 1000, and the
      NegotiatedDataWidthBIts is 1.  The old code assumed NegotiatedDataWidthBits
      was always either 8 or 16.  The new code is simpler, and does the
      calculation correctly for all cases.

      [PATCH] Don't let processes be scheduled on CPU-less nodes (3/3) · 946ac12e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
      
      This patch implements a generic version of the nr_cpus_node(node) macro
      implemented for ppc64 by the previous patch.
      
      The generic version simply computes an hweight of the bitmask returned by
      node_to_cpumask(node) topology macro.
      
      This patch also adds a generic_hweight64() function and an hweight_long()
      function which are used as helpers for the generic nr_cpus_node() macro.
      
      This patch also adds a for_each_node_with_cpus() macro, which is used in
      sched_best_cpu() in kernel/sched.c to fix the original problem of
      scheduling processes on CPU-less nodes.  This macro should also be used in
      the future to avoid similar problems.
      
      Test compiled and booted by Andrew Theurer (habanero@us.ibm.com) on both
      x440 and ppc64.

      [PATCH] Don't let processes be scheduled on CPU-less nodes (2/3) · 848da4be
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
      
      This patch defines a topology macro for ppc64, nr_cpus_node(node) which
      returns the number of CPUs on 'node'.  This patch also adds code to compute
      and store these values in an array for quick lookup.
      
      Test compiled and booted by Andrew Theurer (habanero@us.ibm.com) on both
      x440 and ppc64.

      [PATCH] Don't let processes be scheduled on CPU-less nodes (1/3) · 2eb57dd2
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Matthew Dobson <colpatch@us.ibm.com>
      
      sched_best_cpu schedules processes on nodes based on node_nr_running.  For
      CPU-less nodes, this is always 0, and thus sched_best_cpu tends to migrate
      tasks to these nodes, which eventually get remigrated elsewhere.
      
      This patch adds include/linux/topology.h, and modifies all includes of
      asm/topology.h to linux/topology.h.  A subsequent patch in this series adds
      helper functions to linux/topology.h to ensure processes are only migrated
      to nodes with CPUs.

      [PATCH] remove get_current_user() · 54ed494f
      Andrew Morton authored
      As "Dmitry A.  Fedorov" <D.A.Fedorov@inp.nsk.su> points out,
      get_current_user() has a local variable __user which conflicts with the
      sparse tagging.  But get_current_user() has no callers.

      [PATCH] Fix tty devfs mess · 7807eb6a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
      
      Currently the tty code abuses tty_driver.name as the prefix for the devfs
      names of the ttys.  This is a very bad idea because it means the tty name
      changes depending on whether devfs is enabled or not, leading to different
      names in /proc/tty/ depending on whether we have devfs or not (and not
      whether it actually is mounted!) and a huge amount of ifdefs.
      
      The patch below adds a .devfs_name member instead, similar to the block
      device changes a few weeks ago.

      [PATCH] Console privacy for braille users · 9c481bc0
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Samuel Thibault <Samuel.Thibault@ens-lyon.fr>
      
      Still working on kernel facilities for braille devices, the need for being
      able to force blanking and unblanking raised: even when a key is pressed, the
      screen must remain blank, for privacy of the blind user who is typing on the
      keyboard and reading on its braille terminal.
      
      I merely added an ignore_poke variable which is set, and the screen blanked.
      Then, poke_blanked_console returns immediatly.  Upon real unblank (because of
      an Oops or an explicit tioclinux), ignore_poke is reset to get back to normal
      operation mode.
      
      I had to remove the (unnecessary ?) call to unblank_screen from set_selection
      to prevent mouse selection unblanking the screen.
      
      I also added a way for processes to know whether the screen is blanked (the
      blind user might hence know whether people can read the screen).

      [PATCH] Console blanking fix · 520aa095
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Samuel Thibault <Samuel.Thibault@ens-lyon.fr>
      
      Some fixes for console blanking: on some laptops, doing VESA blanking after
      the bios did an apm blanking because of a screen closure thrashes the
      recovery (the video board doesn't seem to have synchronisation registers
      correctly initialized, since the LCD panel progressively turns white, maybe
      damaging it ?).
      
      I hence moved the schedule for vesa powerdown after the apm blank hook
      call, so that if it succeeds, it won't be called.  I also moved the apm
      unblank & palette restoration after the vesa unblank, to have a more lifo
      scheme (also required, or the screen remains black).
      
      Btw, why del_timer_sync was called twice in timer_do_blank_screen when
      vesa_off_interval==0 ?
