Cheetah systems can have cpuids as large as 1023, although physical
systems don't have that many cpus.
Only three limitations existed in the kernel preventing arbitrary
NR_CPUS values:
1) dcache dirty cpu state stored in page->flags on
D-cache aliasing platforms. With some build time
calculations and some build-time BUG checks on
page->flags layout, this one was easily solved.
2) The cheetah XCALL delivery code could only handle
a cpumask with up to 32 cpus set. Some simple looping
logic clears that up too.
3) thread_info->cpu was a u8, easily changed to a u16.
There are a few spots in the kernel that still put NR_CPUS
sized arrays on the kernel stack, but that's not a sparc64

Hypervisor interfaces need to be negotiated in order to use
some API calls reliably. So add a small set of interfaces
to request API versions and query current settings.
This allows us to fix some bugs in the hypervisor console:
1) If we can negotiate API group CORE of at least major 1
minor 1 we can use con_read and con_write which can improve
console performance quite a bit.
2) When we do a console write request, we should hold the
spinlock around the whole request, not a byte at a time.
What would happen is that it's easy for output from
different cpus to get mixed with each other.
3) Use consistent udelay() based polling, udelay(1) each
loop with a limit of 1000 polls to handle stuck hypervisor
console.

The idea is to move more and more things into the pbm,
with the eventual goal of eliminating the pci_controller_info
entirely as there really isn't any need for it.
This stage of the transformations requires some reworking of
the PCI error interrupt handling.
It might be tricky to get rid of the pci_controller_info parenting for
a few reasons:
1) When we get an uncorrectable or correctable error we want
to interrogate the IOMMU and streaming cache of both
PBMs for error status. These errors come from the UPA
front-end which is shared between the two PBM PCI bus
segments.
Historically speaking this is why I choose the datastructure
hierarchy of pci_controller_info-->pci_pbm_info
2) The probing does a portid/devhandle match to look for the
'other' pbm, but this is entirely an artifact and can be
eliminated trivially.
What we could do to solve #1 is to have a "buddy" pointer from one pbm
to another.

Some minor refactoring in the generic code was necessary for
this:
1) This controller requires 8-byte access to the interrupt map
and clear register. They are 64-bits on all the other
SBUS and PCI controllers anyways, so this was easy to cure.
2) The IMAP register has a different layout and some bits that we
need to preserve, so use a read/modify/write when making
changes to the IMAP register in generic code.
3) Flushing the entire IOMMU TLB is best done with a single write
to a register on this PCI controller, add a iommu->iommu_flushinv
for this.

I'd like to thank John Stul and others for helping
me along the way.
A lot of cleanups fell out of this. For example, the get_compare()
tick_op was totally unused, so was deleted. And the most often used
tick_op members were grouped together for cache-friendlyness.
The sparc64 TSC is given to the kernel as a one-shot timer.
tick_ops->init_timer() simply turns off the privileged bit in
the tick register (when possible), and disables the interrupt
by setting bit 63 in the compare register. The ->disable_irq()
op also sets this bit.
tick_ops->add_compare() is changed to:
1) Add the given delta to "tick" not to "compare"
2) Return a boolean which, if true, means that the tick
value read after writing the compare value was found
to have incremented past the initial tick value. This
mirrors logic used in the HPET driver's ->next_event()
method.
Each tick_ops implementation also now provides a name string.
And we feed this into the clocksource and clockevents layers.

This is kind of hokey, we could use the hardware provided facilities
much better.
MSIs are assosciated with MSI Queues. MSI Queues generate interrupts
when any MSI assosciated with it is signalled. This suggests a
two-tiered IRQ dispatch scheme:
MSI Queue interrupt --> queue interrupt handler
MSI dispatch --> driver interrupt handler
But we just get one-level under Linux currently. What I'd like to do
is possibly stick the IRQ actions into a per-MSI-Queue data structure,
and dispatch them form there, but the generic IRQ layer doesn't
provide a way to do that right now.
So, the current kludge is to "ACK" the interrupt by processing the
MSI Queue data structures and ACK'ing them, then we run the actual
handler like normal.
We are wasting a lot of useful information, for example the MSI data
and address are provided with ever MSI, as well as a system tick if
available. If we could pass this into the IRQ handler it could help
with certain things, in particular for PCI-Express error messages.
The MSI entries on sparc64 also tell you exactly which bus/device/fn
sent the MSI, which would be great for error handling when no
registered IRQ handler can service the interrupt.
We override the disable/enable IRQ chip methods in sun4v_msi, so we
have to call {mask,unmask}_msi_irq() directly from there. This is
another ugly wart.

- relbranch_fixup(), for non-branches, would end up setting
regs->tnpc incorrectly, in fact it would set it equal to
regs->tpc which would cause that instruction to execute twice
Also, if this is not a PC-relative branch, we should just
leave regs->tnpc as-is. This covers cases like 'jmpl' which
branch to absolute values.
- To be absolutely %100 safe, we need to flush the instruction
cache for all assignments to kprobe->ainsn.insn[], including
cases like add_aggr_kprobe()
- prev_kprobe's status field needs to be 'unsigned long' to match
the type of the value it is saving
- jprobes were totally broken:
= jprobe_return() can run in the stack frame of the jprobe handler,
or in an even deeper stack frame, thus we'll be in the wrong
register window than the one from the original probe state.
So unwind using 'restore' instructions, if necessary, right
before we do the jprobe_return() breakpoint trap.
= There is no reason to save/restore the register window saved
at %sp at jprobe trigger time. Those registers cannot be
modified by the jprobe handler. Also, this code was saving
and restoring "sizeof (struct sparc_stackf)" bytes. Depending
upon the caller, this could clobber unrelated stack frame
pieces if there is only a basic 128-byte register window
stored on the stack, without the argument save area.
So just saving and restoring struct pt_regs is sufficient.
= Kill the "jprobe_saved_esp", totally unused.
Also, delete "jprobe_saved_regs_location", with the stack frame
unwind now done explicitly by jprobe_return(), this check is
superfluous.

In order to sort out our struct termios and add proper speed control we need
to separate the kernel and user termios structures. Glibc is fine but the
other libraries rely on the kernel exported struct termios and we need to
extend this without breaking the ABI/API
To do so we add a struct ktermios which is the kernel view of a termios
structure and overlaps the struct termios with extra fields on the end for
now. (That limitation will go away in later patches). Some platforms (eg
alpha) planned ahead and thus use the same struct for both, others did not.
This just adds the structures but does not use them, it seems a sensible
splitting point for bisect if there are compile failures (not that I expect
them)

On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes. Powerpc already does this.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the

page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.
Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.
Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone

This prevents cross-region mappings on IA64 and SPARC which could lead
to system crash. They were correctly trapped for normal mmap() calls,

This code just moves the architecture-specific cross-region checks into
an arch-specific "arch_mmap_check()" macro, and defines that for the
architectures that needed it (ia64, sparc and sparc64).
Architectures that don't have any special requirements can just ignore

This patch implements an API whereby an application can determine the
label of its peer's Unix datagram sockets via the auxiliary data mechanism of
recvmsg.
Patch purpose:
This patch enables a security-aware application to retrieve the
security context of the peer of a Unix datagram socket. The application
can then use this security context to determine the security context for
processing on behalf of the peer who sent the packet.
Patch design and implementation:
The design and implementation is very similar to the UDP case for INET
sockets. Basically we build upon the existing Unix domain socket API for
retrieving user credentials. Linux offers the API for obtaining user
credentials via ancillary messages (i.e., out of band/control messages
that are bundled together with a normal message). To retrieve the security
context, the application first indicates to the kernel such desire by
setting the SO_PASSSEC option via getsockopt. Then the application
retrieves the security context using the auxiliary data mechanism.
An example server application for Unix datagram socket should look like this:
toggle = 1;
toggle_len = sizeof(toggle);
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_PASSSEC, &toggle, &toggle_len);
recvmsg(sockfd, &msg_hdr, 0);
if (msg_hdr.msg_controllen > sizeof(struct cmsghdr)) {
cmsg_hdr = CMSG_FIRSTHDR(&msg_hdr);
if (cmsg_hdr->cmsg_len <= CMSG_LEN(sizeof(scontext)) &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_level == SOL_SOCKET &&
cmsg_hdr->cmsg_type == SCM_SECURITY) {
memcpy(&scontext, CMSG_DATA(cmsg_hdr), sizeof(scontext));
}
}
sock_setsockopt is enhanced with a new socket option SOCK_PASSSEC to allow
a server socket to receive security context of the peer.
Testing:
We have tested the patch by setting up Unix datagram client and server
applications. We verified that the server can retrieve the security context
using the auxiliary data mechanism of recvmsg.

Do IRQ determination generically by parsing the PROM properties,

One immediate positive effect is that all of the IRQ frobbing

We just look up the of_device and use the properly computed
value.
The PCI controller irq_build() routines are gone and no longer
used. Unfortunately sbus_build_irq() has to remain as there is

There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.
This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

On some sun4v systems, after netboot the ethernet controller and it's
DMA mappings can be left active. The net result is that the kernel
can end up using memory the ethernet controller will continue to DMA
into, resulting in corruption.
To deal with this, we are more careful about importing IOMMU
translations which OBP has left in the IO-TLB. If the mapping maps
into an area the firmware claimed was free and available memory for
the kernel to use, we demap instead of import that IOMMU entry.
This is going to cause the network chip to take a PCI master abort on
the next DMA it attempts, if it has been left going like this. All
tests show that this is handled properly by the PCI layer and the e1000
drivers.

VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It makes sense
to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64, which always has
to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
nonsense.
As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

This is the long overdue conversion of sparc64 over to
the generic IRQ layer.
The kernel image is slightly larger, but the BSS is ~60K
smaller due to the reduced size of struct ino_bucket.
A lot of IRQ implementation details, including ino_bucket,
were moved out of asm-sparc64/irq.h and are now private to
arch/sparc64/kernel/irq.c, and most of the code in irq.c
totally disappeared.
One thing that's different at the moment is IRQ distribution,
we do it at enable_irq() time. If the cpu mask is ALL then
we round-robin using a global rotating cpu counter, else
we pick the first cpu in the mask to support single cpu
targetting. This is similar to what powerpc's XICS IRQ
support code does.
This works fine on my UP SB1000, and the SMP build goes
fine and runs on that machine, but lots of testing on
different setups is needed.

Inspired by PowerPC XICS interrupt support code.
All IRQs are virtualized in order to keep NR_IRQS from needing
to be too large. Interrupts on sparc64 are arbitrary 11-bit
values, but we don't need to define NR_IRQS to 2048 if we
virtualize the IRQs.
As PCI and SBUS controller drivers build device IRQs, we divy
out virtual IRQ numbers incrementally starting at 1. Zero is
a special virtual IRQ used for the timer interrupt.
So device drivers all see virtual IRQs, and all the normal
interfaces such as request_irq(), enable_irq(), etc. translate
that into a real IRQ number in order to configure the IRQ.
At this point knowledge of the struct ino_bucket is almost
entirely contained within arch/sparc64/kernel/irq.c There are
a few small bits in the PCI controller drivers that need to
be swept away before we can remove ino_bucket's definition
out of asm-sparc64/irq.h and privately into kernel/irq.c

This ugly hack was long overdue to die.
It was a way to print out Sparc interrupts in a more freindly format,
since IRQ numbers were arbitrary opaque 32-bit integers which vectored
into PIL levels. These 32-bit integers were not necessarily in the
0-->NR_IRQS range, but the PILs they vectored to were.
The idea now is that we will increase NR_IRQS a little bit and use a
virtual<-->real IRQ number mapping scheme similar to PowerPC.
That makes this IRQ printing hack irrelevant, and furthermore only a
handful of drivers actually used __irq_itoa() making it even less
useful.

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

It's possible that some of these classifications are wrong. If they are,
please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

This patchset provides a new (written from scratch) implementation of robust
futexes, called "lightweight robust futexes". We believe this new
implementation is faster and simpler than the vma-based robust futex solutions
presented before, and we'd like this patchset to be adopted in the upstream
kernel. This is version 1 of the patchset.
Background
----------
What are robust futexes? To answer that, we first need to understand what
futexes are: normal futexes are special types of locks that in the
noncontended case can be acquired/released from userspace without having to
enter the kernel.
A futex is in essence a user-space address, e.g. a 32-bit lock variable
field. If userspace notices contention (the lock is already owned and someone
else wants to grab it too) then the lock is marked with a value that says
"there's a waiter pending", and the sys_futex(FUTEX_WAIT) syscall is used to
wait for the other guy to release it. The kernel creates a 'futex queue'
internally, so that it can later on match up the waiter with the waker -
without them having to know about each other. When the owner thread releases
the futex, it notices (via the variable value) that there were waiter(s)
pending, and does the sys_futex(FUTEX_WAKE) syscall to wake them up. Once all
waiters have taken and released the lock, the futex is again back to
'uncontended' state, and there's no in-kernel state associated with it. The
kernel completely forgets that there ever was a futex at that address. This
method makes futexes very lightweight and scalable.
"Robustness" is about dealing with crashes while holding a lock: if a process
exits prematurely while holding a pthread_mutex_t lock that is also shared
with some other process (e.g. yum segfaults while holding a pthread_mutex_t,
or yum is kill -9-ed), then waiters for that lock need to be notified that the
last owner of the lock exited in some irregular way.
To solve such types of problems, "robust mutex" userspace APIs were created:
pthread_mutex_lock() returns an error value if the owner exits prematurely -
and the new owner can decide whether the data protected by the lock can be
recovered safely.
There is a big conceptual problem with futex based mutexes though: it is the
kernel that destroys the owner task (e.g. due to a SEGFAULT), but the kernel
cannot help with the cleanup: if there is no 'futex queue' (and in most cases
there is none, futexes being fast lightweight locks) then the kernel has no
information to clean up after the held lock! Userspace has no chance to clean
up after the lock either - userspace is the one that crashes, so it has no
opportunity to clean up. Catch-22.
In practice, when e.g. yum is kill -9-ed (or segfaults), a system reboot is
needed to release that futex based lock. This is one of the leading
bugreports against yum.
To solve this problem, 'Robust Futex' patches were created and presented on
lkml: the one written by Todd Kneisel and David Singleton is the most advanced
at the moment. These patches all tried to extend the futex abstraction by
registering futex-based locks in the kernel - and thus give the kernel a
chance to clean up.
E.g. in David Singleton's robust-futex-6.patch, there are 3 new syscall
variants to sys_futex(): FUTEX_REGISTER, FUTEX_DEREGISTER and FUTEX_RECOVER.
The kernel attaches such robust futexes to vmas (via
vma->vm_file->f_mapping->robust_head), and at do_exit() time, all vmas are
searched to see whether they have a robust_head set.
Lots of work went into the vma-based robust-futex patch, and recently it has
improved significantly, but unfortunately it still has two fundamental
problems left:
- they have quite complex locking and race scenarios. The vma-based
patches had been pending for years, but they are still not completely
reliable.
- they have to scan _every_ vma at sys_exit() time, per thread!
The second disadvantage is a real killer: pthread_exit() takes around 1
microsecond on Linux, but with thousands (or tens of thousands) of vmas every
pthread_exit() takes a millisecond or more, also totally destroying the CPU's
L1 and L2 caches!
This is very much noticeable even for normal process sys_exit_group() calls:
the kernel has to do the vma scanning unconditionally! (this is because the
kernel has no knowledge about how many robust futexes there are to be cleaned
up, because a robust futex might have been registered in another task, and the
futex variable might have been simply mmap()-ed into this process's address
space).
This huge overhead forced the creation of CONFIG_FUTEX_ROBUST, but worse than
that: the overhead makes robust futexes impractical for any type of generic
Linux distribution.
So it became clear to us, something had to be done. Last week, when Thomas
Gleixner tried to fix up the vma-based robust futex patch in the -rt tree, he
found a handful of new races and we were talking about it and were analyzing
the situation. At that point a fundamentally different solution occured to
me. This patchset (written in the past couple of days) implements that new
solution. Be warned though - the patchset does things we normally dont do in
Linux, so some might find the approach disturbing. Parental advice
recommended ;-)
New approach to robust futexes
------------------------------
At the heart of this new approach there is a per-thread private list of robust
locks that userspace is holding (maintained by glibc) - which userspace list
is registered with the kernel via a new syscall [this registration happens at
most once per thread lifetime]. At do_exit() time, the kernel checks this
user-space list: are there any robust futex locks to be cleaned up?
In the common case, at do_exit() time, there is no list registered, so the
cost of robust futexes is just a simple current->robust_list != NULL
comparison. If the thread has registered a list, then normally the list is
empty. If the thread/process crashed or terminated in some incorrect way then
the list might be non-empty: in this case the kernel carefully walks the list
[not trusting it], and marks all locks that are owned by this thread with the
FUTEX_OWNER_DEAD bit, and wakes up one waiter (if any).
The list is guaranteed to be private and per-thread, so it's lockless. There
is one race possible though: since adding to and removing from the list is
done after the futex is acquired by glibc, there is a few instructions window
for the thread (or process) to die there, leaving the futex hung. To protect
against this possibility, userspace (glibc) also maintains a simple per-thread
'list_op_pending' field, to allow the kernel to clean up if the thread dies
after acquiring the lock, but just before it could have added itself to the
list. Glibc sets this list_op_pending field before it tries to acquire the
futex, and clears it after the list-add (or list-remove) has finished.
That's all that is needed - all the rest of robust-futex cleanup is done in
userspace [just like with the previous patches].
Ulrich Drepper has implemented the necessary glibc support for this new
mechanism, which fully enables robust mutexes. (Ulrich plans to commit these
changes to glibc-HEAD later today.)
Key differences of this userspace-list based approach, compared to the vma
based method:
- it's much, much faster: at thread exit time, there's no need to loop
over every vma (!), which the VM-based method has to do. Only a very
simple 'is the list empty' op is done.
- no VM changes are needed - 'struct address_space' is left alone.
- no registration of individual locks is needed: robust mutexes dont need
any extra per-lock syscalls. Robust mutexes thus become a very lightweight
primitive - so they dont force the application designer to do a hard choice
between performance and robustness - robust mutexes are just as fast.
- no per-lock kernel allocation happens.
- no resource limits are needed.
- no kernel-space recovery call (FUTEX_RECOVER) is needed.
- the implementation and the locking is "obvious", and there are no
interactions with the VM.
Performance
-----------
I have benchmarked the time needed for the kernel to process a list of 1
million (!) held locks, using the new method [on a 2GHz CPU]:
- with FUTEX_WAIT set [contended mutex]: 130 msecs
- without FUTEX_WAIT set [uncontended mutex]: 30 msecs
I have also measured an approach where glibc does the lock notification [which
it currently does for !pshared robust mutexes], and that took 256 msecs -
clearly slower, due to the 1 million FUTEX_WAKE syscalls userspace had to do.
(1 million held locks are unheard of - we expect at most a handful of locks to
be held at a time. Nevertheless it's nice to know that this approach scales
nicely.)
Implementation details
----------------------
The patch adds two new syscalls: one to register the userspace list, and one
to query the registered list pointer:
asmlinkage long
sys_set_robust_list(struct robust_list_head __user *head,
size_t len);
asmlinkage long
sys_get_robust_list(int pid, struct robust_list_head __user **head_ptr,
size_t __user *len_ptr);
List registration is very fast: the pointer is simply stored in
current->robust_list. [Note that in the future, if robust futexes become
widespread, we could extend sys_clone() to register a robust-list head for new
threads, without the need of another syscall.]
So there is virtually zero overhead for tasks not using robust futexes, and
even for robust futex users, there is only one extra syscall per thread
lifetime, and the cleanup operation, if it happens, is fast and
straightforward. The kernel doesnt have any internal distinction between
robust and normal futexes.
If a futex is found to be held at exit time, the kernel sets the highest bit
of the futex word:
#define FUTEX_OWNER_DIED 0x40000000
and wakes up the next futex waiter (if any). User-space does the rest of
the cleanup.
Otherwise, robust futexes are acquired by glibc by putting the TID into the
futex field atomically. Waiters set the FUTEX_WAITERS bit:
#define FUTEX_WAITERS 0x80000000
and the remaining bits are for the TID.
Testing, architecture support
-----------------------------
I've tested the new syscalls on x86 and x86_64, and have made sure the parsing
of the userspace list is robust [ ;-) ] even if the list is deliberately
corrupted.
i386 and x86_64 syscalls are wired up at the moment, and Ulrich has tested the
new glibc code (on x86_64 and i386), and it works for his robust-mutex
testcases.
All other architectures should build just fine too - but they wont have the
new syscalls yet.
Architectures need to implement the new futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inuser() inline
function before writing up the syscalls (that function returns -ENOSYS right
now).
This patch:
Add placeholder futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inuser() implementations to every
architecture that supports futexes. It returns -ENOSYS.

(cris, frv, h8300, ia64, m32r, m68k, m68knommu, mips, s390, sh, sh64, sparc,
sparc64, v850, and xtensa)
This patch switches to non atomic bit operation.

Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.
There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Without branch hints, the very unlikely chance of the loop repeating due to
cmpxchg failure is unrolled with gcc-4 that I have tested.
Improve this for architectures with a native cas/cmpxchg. llsc archs
should try to implement this natively.

Seems like needless clutter having a bunch of #if defined(CONFIG_$ARCH) in
include/linux/cache.h. Move the per architecture section definition to
asm/cache.h, and keep the if-not-defined dummy case in linux/cache.h to
catch architectures which don't implement the section.
Verified that symbols still go in .data.read_mostly on parisc,
and the compile doesn't break.
