From: "Martin J. Bligh" <mbligh@aracnet.com> From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> The comments for i386 allocate_pgdat indicate that the routine should be modified to place the pgdat into node local memory. However, this has already been done as the pgdat is placed at node_remap_start_vaddr. This patch updates the comments to reflect this reality. Signed-off-by:

From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@hotpop.com> This patch fixes the following bugs/regressions for fbcon: 1. Initialize and update global arrays used by fbcon during initialization and and by set_con2fbmap code. 2. Fixed screen corruption (white rectangle) at initial mode setting plaguing cards with VGA cores and with VGA console enabled. (vga16fb, however, still shows remnants of previous text if boot logo is enabled) 3. Improved fbcon_startup/fbcon_init code. 4. Fixed set_con2fbmap code -- should support multiple devices mapped to Signed-off-by:

From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> MIPS update: - Further conversion of MIPS kernel configuration to reverse dependencies. - Support for the PMC-Sierra Yosemite evaluation board. - Merge arch/mips/mm-32 and arch/mips/mm-32 into arch/mips/mm. - Partial support for the R8000 now that I finally have clearance for the documentation previously covered by NDA. - Make distclean fixes. - Regenerate default configuration files against latest Kconfig files. - Fix handling of data bus errors in modules. - Make R4000 bug probing more bullet proof. - Rewrite semaphore code folloing the PPC implementation to no longer manipulate 2 32-bit quantities atomically using 64-bit instructions. Occasionally this did cause problems due to struct semaphore not having sufficient alignment. - Make sys_pipe() code bullet proof against gcc 3.5 over-optimization. - Fix possibly exploitable bug in IRIX compatibility statvfs(2). - Make sched_clock() an outline function. - Support for the MIPS 24K and 25K processors. - Make functions static that aren't needed anywhere else. - Factor out some more generic MIPS SMP code. - Factor out common part of the GT-64240 code. - Ocelot C now uses the generic MV-64340 interrupt handler code. - Factor out common board support code - More cleanup and bug fixes for the NEC VR41xx code. - Start cleanup of hazard handling as required for MIPS32/64 V2 processors. - Enforce minimal kmalloc alignment of 8 byte so 64-bit registers can be stored into fields without exceptions. - Speeling and warning fixes.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> ../include/linux/swap.h:extern int nr_swap_pages; /* XXX: shouldn't this be ulong? --hch */ Sounds like it should be too me. Some of the code checks for nr_swap_pages < 0 so I made it a long instead. I had to fix up the ppc64 show_mem() (Im guessing there will be other trivial changes required in other 64bit archs, I can find and fix those if you want). I also noticed that the ppc64 show_mem() used ints to store page counts. We can overflow that, so make them unsigned long. Signed-off-by:

We use per-cpu counters for the system-wide pagecache accounting. The counters spill into the global nr_pagecache atomic_t when they underflow or overflow. Hence it is possible, under weird circumstances, for nr_pagecache to go negative. Anton says he has hit this. Signed-off-by:

From: Christoph Lameter <christoph@graphe.net> Attached a patch to support a variety of PCI based serial and parallel port I/O ports (typically labeled 222N-2 or 9835). I think this should go into 2.6.0 since it has been out there for a long time and is just some additional driver support that somehow fell through the cracks in 2.4.X. Tim Waugh submitted it in the 2.4.X series. See also http://winterwolf.co.uk/pciioSigned-off-by:

OK, the pending abs() disaster has hit: drivers/usb/class/audio.c:404: warning: static declaration of 'abs' follows non-static declaration This is due to the declaration in kernel.h. AFAIK there's not even a matching definition for that. The patch implements abs() as a macro in kernel.h and kills off various private implementations. Signed-off-by:

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> slab.c contains too many inline functions: - some functions that are not performance critical were inlined. Waste of text size. - The debug code relies on __builtin_return_address(0) to keep track of the callers. According to rmk, gcc didn't inline some functions as expected and that resulted in useless debug output. This was probably caused by the large debug-only inline functions. The attached patche removes most inline functions: - the empty on release/huge on debug inline functions were replaced with empty macros on release/normal functions on debug. - spurious inline statements were removed. The code is down to 6 inline functions: three one-liners for struct abstractions, one for a might_sleep_if test and two for the performance critical __cache_alloc / __cache_free functions. Note: If an embedded arch wants to save a few bytes by uninlining __cache_{free,alloc}: The right way to do that is to fold the functions into kmem_cache_xy and then replace kmalloc with kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_find_general_cachep(),).

From: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Reversing the patches that made all caches hw cacheline aligned had an unintended side effect on the kmalloc caches: Before they had the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag set, now it's clear. This breaks one sgi driver - it expects aligned caches. Additionally I think it's the right thing to do: It costs virtually nothing (the caches are power-of-two sized) and could reduce false sharing. Additionally, the patch adds back the documentation for the SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN flag. Signed-Off: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Signed-off-by:

From: William Lee Irwin III <wli@holomorphy.com> Based on Arjan van de Ven's idea, with guidance and testing from James Bottomley. The physical ordering of pages delivered to the IO subsystem is strongly related to the order in which fragments are subdivided from larger blocks of memory tracked by the page allocator. Consider a single MAX_ORDER block of memory in isolation acted on by a sequence of order 0 allocations in an otherwise empty buddy system. Subdividing the block beginning at the highest addresses will yield all the pages of the block in reverse, and subdividing the block begining at the lowest addresses will yield all the pages of the block in physical address order. Empirical tests demonstrate this ordering is preserved, and that changing the order of subdivision so that the lowest page is split off first resolves the sglist merging difficulties encountered by driver authors at Adaptec and others in James Bottomley's testing. James found that before this patch, there were 40 merges out of about 32K segments. Afterward, there were 24007 merges out of 19513 segments, for a merge rate of about 55%. Merges of 128 segments, the maximum allowed, were observed afterward, where beforehand they never occurred. It also improves dbench on my workstation and works fine there. Signed-off-by:

Some people want the dentry and inode caches shrink harder, others want them shrunk more reluctantly. The patch adds /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure, which tunes the vfs cache versus pagecache scanning pressure. - at vfs_cache_pressure=0 we don't shrink dcache and icache at all. - at vfs_cache_pressure=100 there is no change in behaviour. - at vfs_cache_pressure > 100 we reclaim dentries and inodes harder. The number of megabytes of slab left after a slocate.cron on my 256MB test box: vfs_cache_pressure=100000 33480 vfs_cache_pressure=10000 61996 vfs_cache_pressure=1000 104056 vfs_cache_pressure=200 166340 vfs_cache_pressure=100 190200 vfs_cache_pressure=50 206168 Of course, this just left more directory and inode pagecache behind instead of vfs cache. Interestingly, on this machine the entire slocate run fits into pagecache, but not into VFS caches. Signed-off-by:

The shrink_zone() logic can, under some circumstances, cause far too many pages to be reclaimed. Say, we're scanning at high priority and suddenly hit a large number of reclaimable pages on the LRU. Change things so we bale out when SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX pages have been reclaimed. Signed-off-by:

We've been futzing with the scan rates of the inactive and active lists far too much, and it's still not right (Anton reports interrupt-off times of over a second). - We have this logic in there from 2.4.early (at least) which tries to keep the inactive list 1/3rd the size of the active list. Or something. I really cannot see any logic behind this, so toss it out and change the arithmetic in there so that all pages on both lists have equal scan rates. - Chunk the work up so we never hold interrupts off for more that 32 pages worth of scanning. - Make the per-zone scan-count accumulators unsigned long rather than atomic_t. Mainly because atomic_t's could conceivably overflow, but also because access to these counters is racy-by-design anyway. Signed-off-by:
