This changes how the ppc32 'checkbin' target works. Previously we did all of the tests using variables which would be evaluated for any and every make target. This meant that 'make tags' for example would leave behind a '.tmp_gas_check' file even though we didn't actually compile up anything, and would get in the way of diffs. By moving all of this logic directly into the 'checkbin' target, we only test gcc/gas versions when we're going to compile. Signed-off-by:

On the other hand: From: Peter Chubb <peterc@gelato.unsw.edu.au> As part of the Gelato scalability focus group, we've been running OSDL's Re-AIM7 benchmark with an I/O intensive load with varying numbers of processors. The current kernel shows severe contention on the tree_lock in the address space structure when running on tmpfs or ext2 on a RAM disk.

Here are the benchmark results (jobs per minute at a 50-client level, average of 5 runs, standard deviation in parens) on an HP Olympia with 3 cells, 12 processors, and dnotify turned off (after this spinlock, the spinlock in dnotify_parent is the worst contended for this workload). tmpfs............... ext2............... #CPUs spinlock rwlock spinlock rwlock 1 7556(15) 7588(17) +0.42% 3744(20) 3791(16) +1.25% 2 13743(31) 13791(33) +0.35% 6405(30) 6413(24) +0.12% 4 23334(111) 22881(154) -2% 9648(51) 9595(50) -0.55% 8 33580(240) 36163(190) +7.7% 13183(63) 13070(68) -0.85% 12 28748(170) 44064(238)+53% 12681(49) 14504(105)+14% And on a pentium3 single processsor: 1 4177(4) 4169(2) -0.2% 3811(4) 3820(3) +0.23% I'm not sure what's happening in the 4-processor case. The important thing to note is that with a spinlock, the benchmark shows worse performance for a 12 than for an 8-way box; with the patch, the 12 way performs better, as expected. We've done some runs with 16-way as well; without the patch below, the 16-way performs worse than the 12-way. It's a tricky tradeoff, but large-smp is hurt a lot more by the spinlocks than small-smp is by the rwlocks. And I don't think we really want to implement compile-time either-or-locks.

Now that we're only invalidating the pages that intersected a direct IO write we might as well only unmap the intersecting bytes as well. This passed a light fsx load with page cache, direct, and mmap IO. Signed-off-by:

This adds filemap_write_and_wait_range(mapping, lstart, lend) which starts writeback and waits on a range of pages. We call this from __blkdev_direct_IO with just the range that is going to be read by the direct_IO read. It was lightly tested with fsx and ext3 and passed. Signed-off-by:

Presently we invalidate all of a file's pages when writing to any part of that file with direct-IO. After a direct IO write only invalidate the pages that the write intersected. invalidate_inode_pages2_range(mapping, pgoff start, pgoff end) is added and called from generic_file_direct_IO(). While we're in there, invalidate_inode_pages2() was calling unmap_mapping_range() with the wrong convention in the single page case. It was providing the byte offset of the final page rather than the length of the hole being unmapped. This is also fixed. This was lightly tested with a 10k op fsx run with O_DIRECT on a 16MB file in ext3 on a junky old IDE drive. Totaling vmstat columns of blocks read and written during the runs shows that read traffic drops significantly. The run time seems to have gone down a little. Two runs before the patch gave the following user/real/sys times and total blocks in and out: 0m28.029s 0m20.093s 0m3.166s 16673 125107 0m27.949s 0m20.068s 0m3.227s 18426 126094 and after the patch: 0m26.775s 0m19.996s 0m3.060s 3505 124982 0m26.856s 0m19.935s 0m3.052s 3505 125279 akpm: - Don't look up more pages than we're going to use - Don't test page->index until we've locked the page - Check for the cursor wrapping at the end of the mapping.

In the 2.6.11 development cycle function calls have been added to lots of hot vm paths to do accounting. I think these should not go into the final 2.6.1 release because these statistics can be collected in a different way that does not require the updating of counters from frequently used vm code paths and is consistent with the methods use elsewhere in the kernel to obtain statistics. These function calls are acct_update_integrals -> Account for processes based on stime changes update_mem_hiwater -> takes rss and total_vm hiwater marks. acct_update_integrals is only useful to call if stime changes otherwise it will simply return. It is therefore best to relocate the function call to acct_update_integral into the function that updates stime which is account_system_time and remove it from the vm code paths. update_mem_hiwater finds the rss hiwater mark. We call that from timer context as well. This means that processes' high-water marks are now sampled statistically, at timer-interrupt time rather than deterministically. This may or may not be a problem.. This means that the rss limit is not always updated if rss is increased and thus not as accurate. But the benefit is that the rss checks do no pollute the vm paths and that it is consistent with the rss limit check. The following patch removes acct_update_integrals and update_mem_hiwater from the hot vm paths. Signed-off-by:
Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> From: Jay Lan <jlan@sgi.com> The new "move-accounting-function-calls-out-of-critical-vm-code-paths" patch in 2.6.11-rc3-mm2 was different from the code i tested. In particular, it mistakenly dropped the accounting routine calls in fs/exec.c. The calls in do_execve() are needed to properly initialize accounting fields. Specifically, the tsk->acct_stimexpd needs to be initialized to tsk->stime. I have discussed this with Christoph Lameter and he gave me full blessings to bring the calls back. Signed-off-by:

In addition to randomisation of the stack pointer within the stack, the stack itself should be randomized too. We need both approaches, we can only randomize the stack itself in pagesize increments. However randomizing large ranges with the stackpointer runs into the situation where a huge chunk of the stack rlimit is used by the randomisation; this is undesirable so we need to do both.

The patch below randomizes the starting point of the mmap area. This has the effect that all non-prelinked shared libaries and all bigger malloc()s will be randomized between various invocations of the binary. Prelinked binaries get a address-hint from ld.so in their mmap and are thus exempt from this randomisation, in order to not break the prelink advantage. The randomisation range is 1 megabyte (this is bigger than the stack randomisation since the stack randomisation only needs 16 bytes alignment while the mmap needs page alignment, a 64kb range would not have given enough entropy to be effective) Signed-off-by:

The patch below replaces the existing 8Kb randomisation of the userspace stack pointer (which is currently only done for Hyperthreaded P-IVs) with a more general randomisation over a 64Kb range. 64Kb is not a lot, but it's a start and once the dust settles we can increase this value to a more agressive value.

Even though there is a global flag to disable randomisation, it's useful to have a per process flag too; the patch below introduces this per process flag and automatically sets it for "new" binaries. Eventually we will want to tie this to the legacy-va-space personality Signed-off-by:

The patch below introduces get_random_int() and randomize_range(), two helpers used in later patches in the series. get_random_int() shares the tcp/ip random number stuff so the CONFIG_INET ifdef needs to move slightly, and to reduce the damange due to that, secure_ip_id() needs to move inside random.c From: Frank Sorenson <frank@tuxrocks.com> Acked-By:

1. Split the QP spinlock into separate send and receive locks. The only place where we have to lock both is upon modify_qp, and that is not on data path. 2. Avoid taking any QP locks when polling CQ. This last part is achieved by getting rid of the cur field in mthca_wq, and calculating the number of outstanding WQEs by comparing the head and tail fields. head is only updated by post, tail is only updated by poll. In a rare case where an overrun is detected, a CQ is locked and the overrun condition is re-tested, to avoid any potential for stale tail values. Signed-off-by:

Update address vector handling to support mem-free mode. In mem-free mode, the address vector (in hardware format) is copied by the driver into each send work queue entry, so our address handle creation can become pretty trivial: we just kmalloc() a buffer to hold the formatted address vector.

Update QP initialization and cleanup to handle mem-free mode. In mem-free mode, work queue sizes have to be rounded up to a power of 2, we need to allocate doorbells, there must be memory mapped for the entries in the QP and extended QP context table that we use, and the entries of the receive queue must be initialized.
