Anton recently removed SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN from the fs inode caches, now do the same for tmpfs inode cache: fits 9 per page where 7 before. Was saying SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT too, but that's wrong: tmpfs inodes are not reclaimed under pressure; and hugetlbfs had copied that too. Rearrange shmem_inode_info fields so those most likely to be needed are most likely to be in the same cacheline as the spinlock guarding them. Signed-off-by:

this patch fix a pnpbios problem with independant resource(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3295) : the old code assume that they are given at the beggining (before any SMALL_TAG_STARTDEP entry), but in some case there are found after SMALL_TAG_ENDDEP entry. tag : 6 SMALL_TAG_STARTDEP tag : 8 SMALL_TAG_PORT tag : 6 SMALL_TAG_STARTDEP tag : 8 SMALL_TAG_PORT tag : 7 SMALL_TAG_ENDDEP tag : 4 SMALL_TAG_IRQ <-- independant resource tag : f SMALL_TAG_END Signed-off-by:

I added the ability to search for parameters in make menuconfig (find a given parameter's location in the tree). You use '/' to invoke the feature. Regular expression searches are supported. Signed-off-by:

This patch has been tested both on SLB and segment table machines. This new approach is far from the final word in VSID/context allocation, but it's a noticeable improvement on the old method. Replace the VSID allocation algorithm. The new algorithm first generates a 36-bit "proto-VSID" (with 0xfffffffff reserved). For kernel addresses this is equal to the ESID (address >> 28), for user addresses it is: (context << 15) | (esid & 0x7fff) These are distinguishable from kernel proto-VSIDs because the top bit is clear. Proto-VSIDs with the top two bits equal to 0b10 are reserved for now. The proto-VSIDs are then scrambled into real VSIDs with the multiplicative hash: VSID = (proto-VSID * VSID_MULTIPLIER) % VSID_MODULUS where VSID_MULTIPLIER = 268435399 = 0xFFFFFC7 VSID_MODULUS = 2^36-1 = 0xFFFFFFFFF This scramble is 1:1, because VSID_MULTIPLIER and VSID_MODULUS are co-prime since VSID_MULTIPLIER is prime (the largest 28-bit prime, in fact). This scheme has a number of advantages over the old one: - We now have VSIDs for every kernel address (i.e. everything above 0xC000000000000000), except the very top segment. That simplifies a number of things. - We allow for 15 significant bits of ESID for user addresses with 20 bits of context. i.e. 8T (43 bits) of address space for up to 1M contexts, significantly more than the old method (although we will need changes in the hash path and context allocation to take advantage of this). - Because we use a real multiplicative hash function, we have better and more robust hash scattering with this VSID algorithm (at least based on some initial results). Because the MODULUS is 2^n-1 we can use a trick to compute it efficiently without a divide or extra multiply. This makes the new algorithm barely slower than the old one. Signed-off-by:

Clean up our idle loop code: - Remove a bunch of useless includes and make most functions static - There were places where we werent disabling interrupts before checking need_resched then calling the hypervisor to sleep our thread. We might race with an IPI and end up missing a reschedule. Disable interrupts around these regions to make them safe. - We forgot to turn off the polling flag when exiting the dedicated_idle idle loop. This could have resulted in all manner problems as other cpus would avoid sending IPIs to force reschedules. - Add a missing check for cpu_is_offline in the shared cpu idle loop. Signed-off-by:

Now that we understand (and have fixed) the problem with using low power mode in the idle loop, lets enable it. It should save a fair amount of power. (The problem was that our exceptions were inheriting the low power mode and so were executing at a fraction of the normal cpu issue rate. We fixed it by always bumping our priority to medium at the start of every exception). Signed-off-by:

Restore the smt-enabled=off kernel command line functionality: - Remove the SMT_DYNAMIC state now that smt_snooze_delay allows for the same thing. - Remove the early prom.c parsing for the option, put it into an early_param instead. - In setup_cpu_maps honour the smt-enabled setting Note to Nathan: In order to allow cpu hotplug add of secondary threads after booting with smt-enabled=off, I had to initialise cpu_present_map to cpu_online_map in smp_cpus_done. Im not sure how you want to handle this but it seems our present map currently does not allow cpus to be added into the partition that werent there at boot (but were in the possible map).

Make use of Rusty's early_param code. Its good stuff. We appear to be the first user :) Move vpa_init and idle_setup later in boot, we dont have to do them right up front in setup_system. Signed-off-by:

We have had reports of people attempting to disable EEH on POWER5 boxes. This is not supported, and the device will most likely not respond to config space reads/writes. Remove the IBM location matching code that was being used to disable devices as well as the global option. We already have the ability to ignore EEH erros via the panic_on_oops sysctl option, advanced users should make use of that instead. Signed-off-by:

Clean up some of our command line code: - We were copying the command line out of the device tree twice, but the first time we forgot to add CONFIG_CMDLINE. Fix this and remove the second copy. - The command line birec code ran after we had done some command line parsing in prom.c. This had the opportunity to really confuse the user, with some options being parsed out of the device tree and the other out of birecs. Luckily we could find no user of the command line birecs, so remove them. - remove duplicate printing of kernel command line; - clean up iseries inits and create an iSeries_parse_cmdline.

This patch corrects how the lparcfg interface was presenting the number of active and potential processors. (As reported in LTC bugzilla number 10889). - Correct output for partition_potential_processors and system_active_processors. - suppress pool related values in scenarios where they do not make sense. (non-shared processor configurations) - Display pool_capacity as a percentage, to match the behavior from iSeries code. Signed-off-by:

The patch below implements an algorithm to determine an unique GSI override for mapping GSIs to IO-APIC pins correctly. GSI overrides are required in order for ES7000 machines to function properly since IRQ to pin mappings are NOT all one-to-one. This patch applies only to the Unisys specific ES7000 machines and has been tested thoroughly on several models of the ES7000 line. Signed-off-by:

The original version had issues when two suspend events came in at around the same time, causing APM to get confused: threads became stuck in APM_IOC_SUSPEND and suspends_pending incremented on each apm --suspend call. Now, we only add a suspend event to a users queue and increment suspends_pending if the user isn't already in the middle of handling a suspend event.
