-
Eric Dumazet authored
Commit def0a9b2 (sched_clock: Make it NMI safe) assumed cmpxchg() of 64bit values was available on X86_32. That is not so - and causes some subtle scheduler misbehavior due to incorrect timestamps off to up by ~4 seconds. Two symptoms are known right now: - interactivity problems seen by Arjan: up to 600 msecs latencies instead of the expected 20-40 msecs. These latencies are very visible on the desktop. - incorrect CPU stats: occasionally too high percentages in 'top', and crazy CPU usage stats.

Arjan van de Ven authored
cmpxchg64() today generates, to quote Linus, "barf bag" code. cmpxchg64() is about to get used in the scheduler to fix a bug there, but it's a prerequisite that cmpxchg64() first be made non-sucking. This patch turns cmpxchg64() into an efficient implementation that uses the alternative() mechanism to just use the raw instruction on all modern systems. Note: the fallback is NOT smp safe, just like the current fallback is not SMP safe. (Interested parties with i486 based SMP systems are welcome to submit fix patches for that.)

The definition of the irq_ipi structure has two initializations of the flags field. This combines them. [Ralf: The issue was originally introduced by commit be4894196d79455f420dd7bb78be7dc73bec115c (linux-mips.org) rsp. 033890b0 (kernel.org). The original intention of the code was to initialize .flags with both flags ored together. The broken C code as actually implemented will be compiled by an equally broken gcc to use only the last initialization, that is IRQF_PERCPU which means this turned into an SMTC bug for 2.6.23 and newer.] The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r@ identifier I, s, fld; position p0,p; expression E; @@ struct I s =@p0 { ... .fld@p = E, ...}; @s@ identifier I, s, r.fld; position r.p0,p; expression E; @@ struct I s =@p0 { ... .fld@p = E, ...}; @script:python@ p0 << r.p0; fld << r.fld; ps << s.p; pr << r.p; @@ if int(ps[0].line)!=int(pr[0].line) or int(ps[0].column)!=int(pr[0].column): cocci.print_main(fld,p0) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

David Howells noticed (due to the compiler warning about an unused 'pty_ops_bsd' variable) that we haven't actually been using the code that implements TIOCSPTLCK for legacy pty handling. It's been that way since 2.6.26, commit 3e8e88ca to be exact ("pty: prepare for tty->ops changes"). DavidH initially submitted a patch just removing the dead code entirely, and since nobody has apparently ever complained, I'm not entirely sure that wouldn't be the right thing to do. But since the whole and only point of the legacy pty code is to be compatible with legacy distros that don't use the new unix98 pty model, let's just wire it up again. And clean it up a bit while we're at it. Acked-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

"Looking at ext4.h, I think the setting of extra time fields forgets to mask the epoch bits so the epoch part overwrites nsec part. The second change is only for coherency (2 -> EXT4_EPOCH_BITS)."

The tracepoint ext4_da_write_pages has a struct mpage_da_data* parameter, but that struct is only defined in fs/ext4/ext4.h. This patch adds a forward declaration for that struct, so this tracepoint header can still be used by tools like SystemTap.

The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock introduced a CPU contention problem. By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4 tracepoints, etc. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

There are a number of kernel printk's which are printed when an ext4 filesystem is mounted and unmounted. Disable them to economize space in the system logs. In addition, disabling the mballoc stats by default saves a number of unneeded atomic operations for every block allocation or deallocation. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

This is a cleanup of commit 91ac6f43. Since ext4_mark_inode_dirty() has already called ext4_mark_iloc_dirty(), which in turn calls ext4_do_update_inode(), it's not necessary to have ext4_write_inode() call ext4_do_update_inode() in no journal mode. Indeed, it would be duplicated work. Reviewed-by: "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Frank Mayhar <fmayhar@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
