The sensible approach to making conservative less responsive than ondemand :) As mentioned in patch [1/4]. We do not want conservative to shoot through all the frequencies, its point (by default) is to slowly move through them. By default its ten times less responsive. Signed-off-by:

Since the conservative govenor was released its codebase has drifted from the the direction and updates that have been applied to the ondemand govornor. This patch addresses the lack of updates in that period and brings conservative back up to date. The resulting diff file between cpufreq_ondemand.c and cpufreq_conservative.c is now much smaller and shows more clearly the differences between the two. Another reason to do this is ages ago, knowingly, I did a piss poor attempt at making conservative less responsive by knocking up DEF_SAMPLING_RATE_LATENCY_MULTIPLIER by two orders of magnitude. I did fix this ages ago but in my dis-organisation I must have toasted the diff and left it the way it was. About two weeks ago a user contacted me saying he was having problems with the conservative governor with his AMD Athlon XP-M 2800+ as /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/conservative showed sampling_rate_min 9950000 sampling_rate_max 1360065408 Nine seconds to decide about changing the frequency....not too responsive :) Signed-off-by:

Patch from Nicolas Pitre Quoting RMK: |pte_write() just says that the page _may_ be writable. It doesn't say |that the MMU is programmed to allow writes. If pte_dirty() doesn't |return true, that means that the page is _not_ writable from userspace. |If you write to it from kernel mode (without using put_user) you'll |bypass the MMU read-only protection and may end up writing to a page |owned by two separate processes.

pfn_to_page() and others need to access both memnode_shift and the very first bytes of memnodemap[]. If we force memnode_shift to be just before the memnodemap array, we can reduce the memory footprint to one cache line instead of two for most setups. This patch introduce a 'memnode' structure where shift and map[] are carefully placed. Signed-off-by:

This is required since on a some systems, the bridge may be located on a bus much farther than the first 32. By searching all 256 buses, we guarantee that the search succeeds on such systems. arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-gart.c: The search for the Northbridge is not limited to just bus 0 anymore.

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be locked. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense. Signed-off-by:
