Impact: Optimization One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased. The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can use those registers without restriction. This includes the function argument registers, and several others. This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway, and need not use the compiler's calling convention. Standard calling convention is: arguments return scratch x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ? x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11 The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value). Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used. The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway. XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention? Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Impact: Optimization Each asm paravirt-ops call says what registers are available for clobbering. This patch makes use of this to selectively save/restore registers around each pvops call. In many cases this significantly shrinks code size. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Impact: Fix latent bug The clobber is trying to say that anything except RDI is available for clobbering, but actually clobbers everything. This hasn't mattered because the clobbers were basically ignored, but subsequent patches will rely on them. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: H.

Impact: Optimization Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments, the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on native. On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return. On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov". This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument, and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a mov as appropriate. At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the pagetable entry conversion functions. The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks (2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

With the previous Emacs tips example the kernel style was made available for files in the kernel-tree only. This patch updates the tip to add a separate cc-mode indent style ("linux-tabs-only"). This makes it easy to switch between different indent styles and also makes the kernel style easily available for any filetype mode (c++, awk, ...) that is managed by the Emacs cc-mode.

Linus suggested to put limits where the money is, and max_user_watches already does that w/out the need of max_user_instances. That has the advantage to mitigate the potential DoS while allowing pretty generous default behavior. Allowing top 4% of low memory (per user) to be allocated in epoll watches, we have: LOMEM MAX_WATCHES (per user) 512MB ~178000 1GB ~356000 2GB ~712000 A box with 512MB of lomem, will meet some challenge in hitting 180K watches, socket buffers math teaches us. No more max_user_instances limits then.

I fixed a bug in cgroup_clone() in Linus' tree in commit 7b574b7b ("cgroups: fix a race between cgroup_clone and umount") without noticing there was a cleanup patch in -mm tree that should be rebased (now commit 104cbd5, "cgroups: use task_lock() for access tsk->cgroups safe in cgroup_clone()"), thus resulted in lock inconsistency.

The commit "alpha: teach the compiler that BUG doesn't return" (ed6b9b97) moved the asm code into inline function which takes __FILE__ and __LINE__ as arguments. This violates asm constrains there ("i" - an immediate operand with constant value), so that compile may result in warning or error, depending on compiler version. Just adding an infinite loop to the BUG() is sufficient.

The lifetime of struct cgroup and struct mem_cgroup is different and mem_cgroup has its own reference count for handling references from swap_cgroup. This causes strange problem that the parent mem_cgroup dies while child mem_cgroup alive, and this problem causes a bug in case of use_hierarchy==1 because res_counter_uncharge climbs up the tree. This patch is for avoiding it by getting the parent at create, and putting it at freeing.
