[PATCH] add kmalloc_node, inline cleanup

The patch makes the following function calls available to allocate memory
on a specific node without changing the basic operation of the slab
allocator:

 kmem_cache_alloc_node(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags, int node);
 kmalloc_node(size_t size, unsigned int flags, int node);

in a similar way to the existing node-blind functions:

 kmem_cache_alloc(kmem_cache_t *cachep, unsigned int flags);
 kmalloc(size, flags);

kmem_cache_alloc_node was changed to pass flags and the node information
through the existing layers of the slab allocator (which lead to some minor
rearrangements).  The functions at the lowest layer (kmem_getpages,
cache_grow) are already node aware.  Also __alloc_percpu can call
kmalloc_node now.

Performance measurements (using the pageset localization patch) yields:

[PATCH] mempool: simplify alloc

Mempool is pretty clever.  Looks too clever for its own good :) It
shouldn't really know so much about page reclaim internals.

- don't guess about what effective page reclaim might involve.

- don't randomly flush out all dirty data if some unlikely thing
  happens (alloc returns NULL). page reclaim can (sort of :P) handle
  it.

I think the main motivation is trying to avoid pool->lock at all costs.
However the first allocation is attempted with __GFP_WAIT cleared, so it
will be 'can_try_harder' if it hits the page allocator.  So if allocation
still fails, then we can probably afford to hit the pool->lock - and what's
the alternative?  Try page reclaim and hit zone->lru_lock?

A nice upshot is that we don't need to do any fancy memory barriers or do
(intentionally) racy access to pool-> fields outside the lock.

Mempools have 2 problems.

The first is that mempool_alloc can possibly get stuck in __alloc_pages

The second is that it will happily eat emergency PF_MEMALLOC reserves
instead of going to their reserved pools.

Fix the first by passing __GFP_NORETRY in the allocation calls in

kernel_install will install the kernel just like the ordinary install target.

kernel_install is similar to modules_install in the fact that neither does

In this way they are good for root use. Also added back the

19 years ago[PATCH] ARM: 2660/2: fix ixdp2800 boot and pci init
Lennert Buytenhek [Fri, 29 Apr 2005 21:13:57 +0000 (22:13 +0100)]
[PATCH] ARM: 2660/2: fix ixdp2800 boot and pci init

Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The IXDP2800 is an evalution platform for the IXP2800 processor that
has two IXP2800s connected to the same PCI bus.  This is problematic
as both CPUs will try to configure the PCI bus as they boot linux.
Contrary to on the other IXP2000 platforms, the boot loader on the
IXDP2800 doesn't configure the PCI bus properly, so we do want the
linux instance on one of the CPUs to do that.
Making one of the CPUs ignore the PCI bus (and thus act like a pure
PCI slave device) is not an option because there is a 82559 NIC on
the PCI bus for each of the CPUs.
The chosen solution is to have the master CPU configure the PCI bus
while the slave is kept in a quiescent state, and then to have the
slave CPU scan the PCI bus (without assigning resources) while the
master is kept in a quiescent state.  After this ritual, the master
deletes the slave NIC from its PCI device list, the slave deletes
the master NIC from its device list, and (almost) all is well.
There's still one little problem: each of the CPUs has a 1G SDRAM
BAR, but the IXP2000 only has 512M of outbound PCI memory window.
We solve this by hand-assigning the master and slave SDRAM BARs to
a location outside each of the IXP's outbound PCI windows, and by
having the rest of the BARs autoconfigured in the outbound PCI
windows, in the range [e0000000..ffffffff], so that there is a 1:1
pci:phys mapping between them.
Even with this patch, a number of issues still remain -- just imagine
what happens if one of the CPUs is rebooted, by watchdog or by hand,
but the other one isn't.  But those issues are not easily fixable
given the strange PCI layout of this board and the behavior of the
boot loader shipped with the platform.

[PATCH] ARM: 2651/3: kernel helpers for NPTL support

Patch from Nicolas Pitre

This patch entirely reworks the kernel assistance for NPTL on ARM.
In particular this provides an efficient way to retrieve the TLS
value and perform atomic operations without any instruction emulation
nor special system call.  This even allows for pre ARMv6 binaries to
be forward compatible with SMP systems without any penalty.
The problematic and performance critical operations are performed
through segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory.  Those fixed entry points are
within the vector page so we basically get it for free as no extra
memory page is required and nothing else may be mapped at that
location anyway.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments.
And since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to
user code, the overhead of a VDSO far call would add a significant
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
The ARM_NR_set_tls syscall also changed number.  This is done for two
reasons:
1) this patch changes the way the TLS value was previously meant to be
   retrieved, therefore we ensure whatever library using the old way
   gets fixed (they only exist in private tree at the moment since the
   NPTL work is still progressing).
2) the previous number was allocated in a range causing an undefined
   instruction trap on kernels not supporting that syscall and it was
   determined that allocating it in a range returning -ENOSYS would be
   much nicer for libraries trying to determine if the feature is
   present or not.

[PATCH] time interpolator: Fix settimeofday inaccuracy

settimeofday will set the time a little bit too early on systems using
time interpolation since it subtracts the current interpolator offset
from the time. This used to be necessary with the code in 2.6.9 and earlier
but the new code resets the time interpolator after setting the time.
Thus the time is set too early and gettimeofday will return a time slightly
before the time specified with settimeofday if invoked immeditely after
settimeofday.

This removes the obsolete subtraction of the time interpolator offset
and makes settimeofday set the time accurately.
