2009-09-23kcore: use registerd physmem informationKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add(). In usual, - range of physical memory - range of vmalloc area - text, etc... are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on /proc/iomem.

This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64. I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch) but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary thing to do.

2009-09-22x86: ptrace: set TS_COMPAT when 32-bit ptrace sets orig_eax>=0Roland McGrath
The 32-bit ptrace syscall on a 64-bit kernel (32-bit debugger on 32-bit task) behaves differently than a native 32-bit kernel. When setting a register state of orig_eax>=0 and eax=-ERESTART* when the debugged task is NOT on its way out of a 32-bit syscall, the task will fail to do the syscall restart logic that it should do. Test case available at http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/erestartsys-trap.c?cvsroot=systemtap This happens because the 32-bit ptrace syscall sets eax=0xffffffff when it sets orig_eax>=0. The resuming task will not sign-extend this for the -ERESTART* check because TS_COMPAT is not set. (So the task thinks it is restarting after a 64-bit syscall, not a 32-bit one.) The fix is to have 32-bit ptrace calls set TS_COMPAT when setting orig_eax>=0. This ensures that the 32-bit syscall restart logic will apply when the child resumes.

2009-09-22x86: ptrace: sysret path should reach syscall_trace_leaveRoland McGrath
If TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP is set while inside a syscall, the path back to user mode should get to syscall_trace_leave. This does happen in most circumstances. The exception to this is on the 64-bit syscall fastpath, when no such flag was set on syscall entry and nothing else has punted it off the fastpath for exit. That one exit fastpath fails to check for _TIF_WORK_SYSCALL_EXIT flags. This makes the behavior inconsistent with what 32-bit tasks see and what the native 32-bit kernel always does, and what 64-bit tasks see in all cases where the iret path is taken anyhow. Perhaps the only example that is affected is a ptrace stop inside do_fork (for PTRACE_O_TRACE{CLONE,FORK,VFORK,VFORKDONE}). Other syscalls with internal ptrace stop points (execve) already take the iret exit path for unrelated reasons. Test cases for both PTRACE_SYSCALL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP variants are at: http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/syscall-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/step-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap There was no special benefit to the sysret path's special path to call do_notify_resume, because it always takes the iret exit path at the end. So this change just makes the sysret exit path join the iret exit path for all the signals and ptrace cases. The fastpath still applies to the plain syscall-audit and resched cases.

2009-09-22mm: don't use alloc_bootmem_low() where not strictly neededJan Beulich
Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full available range. Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

2009-09-22mm: replace various uses of num_physpages by totalram_pagesJan Beulich
Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage should instead be used as a basis here. Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory) should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).

2009-09-22arches: drop superfluous casts in nr_free_pages() callersGeert Uytterhoeven
Commit 96177299416dbccb73b54e6b344260154a445375 ("Drop free_pages()") modified nr_free_pages() to return 'unsigned long' instead of 'unsigned int'. This made the casts to 'unsigned long' in most callers superfluous, so remove them.

2009-09-21perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

2009-09-20x86: Print the hypervisor returned tsc_khz during bootAlok Kataria
On an AMD-64 system the processor frequency that is printed during system boot, may be different than the tsc frequency that was returned by the hypervisor, due to the value returned from calibrate_cpu. For debugging timekeeping or other related issues it might be better to get the tsc_khz value returned by the hypervisor. The patch below now prints the tsc frequency that the VMware hypervisor returned.
