Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes
sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size.
However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime
configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and
occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.
This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It
uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page
size is runtime configurable.
It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and
that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true,
page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time
kernel parameter.
One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with
early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory
allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In
tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using
early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter
is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.
This patch flush icache of a page when
new pte has exec bit.
&& new pte has present bit
&& new pte is user's page.
&& (old *ptep is not present
|| new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.
I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".
pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
condition.
Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
that something has gone wrong.
This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
than just the one thread.

Additional testing uncovered a situation where the MCA recovery code could
hang due to a race condition.
According to the SAL spec, SAL sends a rendezvous interrupt to all but the first
CPU that goes into MCA. This includes other CPUs that go into MCA at the same
time. Those other CPUs will go into the linux MCA handler (rather than the
slave loop) with the rendezvous interrupt pending. When all the CPUs have
completed MCA processing and the last monarch completes, freeing all the CPUs,
the CPUs with the pended rendezvous interrupt then go into the
ia64_mca_rendez_int_handler(). In ia64_mca_rendez_int_handler() the CPUs
get marked as rendezvoused, but then leave the handler (due to no MCA).
That leaves the CPUs marked as rendezvoused _before_ the next MCA event.
When the next MCA hits, the monarch will mistakenly believe that all the CPUs
are rendezvoused when they are not, opening up a window where a CPU can get
stuck in the slave loop.
This patch avoids leaving CPUs marked as rendezvoused when they are not.

While testing the MCA recovery code, noticed that some machines would have a
five second delay rendezvousing cpus. What was happening is that
ia64_wait_for_slaves() would check to see if all the slave CPUs had
rendezvoused. If any had not, it would wait 1 millisecond then check again.
If any CPUs had still not rendezvoused, it would wait 5 seconds before
checking again.
On some configs the rendezvous takes more than 1 millisecond, causing the code
to wait the full 5 seconds, even though the last CPU rendezvoused after only
a few milliseconds.
The fix is to check every 1 millisecond to see if all the cpus have
rendezvoused. After 5 seconds the code concludes the CPUs will never
rendezvous (same as before).
The MCA code is, by definition, not performance critical, but a needless
delay of 5 seconds is senseless. The 5 seconds also adds up quickly
when running the error injection code in a loop.
This patch both simplifies the code and removes the needless delay.

This driver for HPQ5001 devices installs a global ACPI OpRegion handler.
AML methods can use this OpRegion to call native firmware entry points.
ACPI does not define a mechanism for AML methods to call native firmware
interfaces such as PAL or SAL. This OpRegion handler adds such a mechanism.
After the handler is installed, an AML method can call native firmware by
storing the arguments and firmware entry point to specific offsets in the
OpRegion. When AML reads the "return value" offset from the OpRegion, this
handler loads up the arguments, makes the firmware call, and returns the
result.

called from __cpuinit callback or general __init code, therefore a

The CPU hotplug notifier_block can be __cpuinitdata. The callback
salinfo_cpu_callback() is incorrectly marked __devinit -- it must

* topology.c:
cache_sysfs_init() is only called at device_initcall() time so marking
it as __cpuinit is wrong and wasteful. It should be unconditionally
__init. Also cleanup reference to hotplug notifier callback function
from this function and replace with cache_add_dev(), which could also
enable us to use other tricks to replace __cpuinit{data} annotations,
as recently discussed on this list.
cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() is only ever called from __cpuinit-marked
functions hence both its definitions (SMP or !SMP) are candidates for

When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.
A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.
Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
be aligned to the size of a hugepage.
In commit 68589bc353, the check for this was
moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
commit 4b1d89290b, prepare_hugepage_range()
is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings. This means
we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
and i386 at least.
This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap(). I'm putting it there,
rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific
implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

There is a bug in the ia64_do_page_fault code that can cause a failure
to grow the register backing store, or any mapping that is marked as
VM_GROWSUP if the mapping is the highest mapped area of memory.
When the address accessed is below the first mapping the previous mapping
is returned as NULL, and this case is handled. However, when the address
accessed is above the highest mapping the vma returned is NULL, this
case is not handled correctly, and it fails to spot that this access
might require an existing mapping to grow upwards.

The core cpufreq code doesn't appear to understand returning -EAGAIN
for the get() function of the cpufreq_driver. If PAL_GET_PSTATE returns
-1, such as when running on Xen, scaling_cur_freq is happy to return
4294967285 kHz (ie. (unsigned)-11). The other drivers appear to return
0 for a failure, and doing so gives me the max frequency from
scaling_cur_frequency and "<unknown>" from cpuinfo_cur_frequency. I
believe that's the desired behavior.

arch/ia64/Kconfig failed to include kernel/Kconfig.preempt that meant it

This was recently noticed when the newly-added PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS in
Kconfig.preempt that was "select"ed from drivers/kvm/Kconfig (therefore)
started giving bogus warnings ('select' used by config symbol 'KVM' refers
to undefined symbol 'PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS') on ia64 builds.

While sending interrupts to a cpu to repeatedly wake a thread, on occasion
that thread will take a full timer tick cycle (4002 usec in my case)
to wakeup.
The problem concerns a race condition in the code around the safe_halt()
call in the default_idle() routine. Setting 'nohalt' on the kernel
command line causes the long wakeups to disappear.
void
default_idle (void)
{
local_irq_enable();
while (!need_resched()) {
--> if (can_do_pal_halt)
--> safe_halt();
else
A timer tick could arrive between the check for !need_resched and the
actual call to safe_halt() (which does a pal call to PAL_HALT_LIGHT).
By the time the timer tick completes, a thread that might now need to run
could get held up for as long as a timer tick waiting for the halted cpu.
I'm proposing that we disable irq's and check need_resched again before
calling safe_halt(). Does anyone see any problem with this approach?

Make sure to reduce the rating of the ITC clock if ITCs are drifty. If they
are drifting then we have not synchronized the ITC values, nor are we doing
the jitter compensation (useless since drift may increase the differentials
arbitrarily).
Without this patch it is possible that the ITC clock becomes selected as
the system clock on systems with drifty ITCs which will result in
nanosleep hanging.
One can still select the itc clock manually on such systems via
clocksource=itc
(Produces nice hangs on SGI Altix.)

If the sn2_rtc clock is present then it is a must have since sn2_rtc
provides a synchronized time source on Altix systems. So elevate
the priority to 450. Otherwise the ITC would take precendence. Altix
systems currently do not boot because the ITC clocksource is broken. It
seems to assume that ITCs are synchronized and as a result nanosleep
hangs (may be fixed in a different patch).
While we are at it: Remove the sn2_mc definition. The sn2_rtc has a fixed
address. No point in reading the address from memory. Removing it avoids
touching one cacheline.

I did it on purpose (and gave the warning a miss...) and I consider
iosapic_free_rte() is no longer needed.
I decided to remain iosapic_rte_info to keep gsi-to-irq binding
after device disable. Indeed it needs some extra memory, but it
is only "sizeof(iosapic_rte_info) * <the number of removed devices>"
bytes and has no memory leak becasue re-enabled devices use the
iosapic_rte_info which they used before disabling.

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.
We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
