There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*()
or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways.
Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct.
Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends.
Typical code which uses them looks very simple:
TYPE val;
int rv;
rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val);
if (rv < 0)
return rv;
[use val]
return count;
There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the
latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data
into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits
into buffer.
This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x".
The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and
very bug free.

This function makes a deep copy of the platform data to allow it to live
in init memory. For a kernel that supports several machines and so
includes the definition for several leds-gpio devices this saves quite
some memory because all but one definition can be free'd after boot.
As the function is used by arch code it must be builtin and so cannot go
into leds-gpio.c.

on now has no less than 6 pca9532 chips. One chips is used for only leds,
one has 14 leds and 2 gpio and the rest of the chips are gpio only.
There is also one board in mainline which could use this capabilty;
arch/arm/mach-iop32x/n2100.c
232 { .type = PCA9532_TYPE_NONE }, /* power OFF gpio */
233 { .type = PCA9532_TYPE_NONE }, /* reset gpio */
This patch defines a new pin type, PCA9532_TYPE_GPIO, and registers a
gpiochip if any pin has this type set. The gpio will registers all chip
pins but will filter on gpio_request.

With this patch, you can initialize blink_delay_on and blink_delay_off in
led_classdev with default_trigger set to "timer", and the led will start
up blinking. The current ledtrig-timer implementation ignores any initial
blink_delay_on/blink_delay_off settings, and requires setting
blink_delay_on/blink_delay_off (typically from userspace) before the led
blinks.

A fix to the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) based bogoMIPS calculation used on
secondary CPUs which has two faults:
1: Not handling wrapping of the lower 32 bits of the TSC counter on
32bit kernel - perhaps TSC is not reset by a warm reset?
2: TSC and Jiffies are no incrementing together properly. Either
jiffies increment too quickly or Time Stamp Counter isn't incremented
in during an SMI but the real time clock is and jiffies are
incremented.
Case 1 can result in a factor of 16 too large a value which makes udelay()
values too small and can cause mysterious driver errors. Case 2 appears
to give smaller 10-15% errors after averaging but enough to cause
occasional failures on my own board
I have tested this code on my own branch and attach patch suitable for
current kernel code. See below for examples of the failures and how the
fix handles these situations now.
I reported this issue earlier here:
Intermittent problem with BogoMIPs calculation on Intel AP CPUs -
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129947246316875&w=4
I suspect this issue has been seen by others but as it is intermittent and
bogoMIPS for secondary CPUs are no longer printed out it might have been
difficult to identify this as the cause. Perhaps these unresolved issues,
although quite old, might be relevant as possibly this fault has been
around for a while. In particular Case 1 may only be relevant to 32bit
kernels on newer HW (most people run 64bit kernels?). Case 2 is less
dramatic since the earlier fix in this area and also intermittent.

Re: Re: [RFC-PATCH] clocksource: update lpj if clocksource has -
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128952775819467&w=4
This issue is masked a little by commit feae3203d7 ("timers, init:
Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages") which only
prints out the first bogoMIPS value making it much harder to notice other
values differing. Perhaps it should be changed to only suppress them when
they are similar values?
Here are some outputs showing faults occurring and the new code handling
them properly. See my earlier message for examples of the original
failure.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.
Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity
instead of:
echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list
Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.
This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>). To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1c5 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.
This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).
Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

Apps are increasingly using more than 1024 file descriptors. See
discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g. BugLink:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054
You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break
apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit;
that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise
their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention.
Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of
not changing kernel defaults in userland.
While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for
the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.

Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do
page_align() which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues.
First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start
is page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu. eg: uvc
camera driver.
Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is
not page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned
dure to split or driver's mmap() ops.
Add page alignment to fix those issues.

The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page()
is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock
contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool
is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them.
For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64
processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the
whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause
a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total
time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of
activate_page also benefits a lot too.
Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should
follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see
commit 7a608572a2 ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock
contention")). On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages()
to follow the same path? I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20
scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4
sockets. My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below
patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found
even without below patch before). Below patch basically returns to the
same as my first post.

The copy_to_user_page() function is supposed to flush the icache on the
memory that was written, but the current asm-generic version lacks that
logic. While normally it isn't a big deal as the asm-generic version of
icache flushing is a stub, it is a deal for ports that want to use the
asm-generic version as a baseline and then overlay its own specific parts
(like icache flushing).

I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a
process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is
available.
Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page
allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very
little free memory. Right about the same time that the stress-test gets
killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck
in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed
by the oom-kill of the stress-test.
The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the
wait_iff_congested continiously. Because order=0,
__alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist.
Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been
reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to
get_page_from_freelist. Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with
__alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped. The loop hits the wait_iff_congested,
then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to
get_page_from_freelist. This loop repeats infinitely.
The test case is pretty pathological. Running a mix of I/O stress-tests
that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty
reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours. 32GB/node.

As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.

In show_numa_map() we collect statistics into a numa_maps structure.
Since the number of NUMA nodes can be very large, this structure is not a
candidate for stack allocation.
Instead of going thru a kmalloc()+kfree() cycle each time show_numa_map()
is invoked, perform the allocation just once when /proc/pid/numa_maps is
opened.
Performing the allocation when numa_maps is opened, and thus before a
reference to the target tasks mm is taken, eliminates a potential
stalemate condition in the oom-killer as originally described by Hugh
Dickins:
... imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm
we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while
we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed
from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold
that reference.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several
issues.
- Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding
seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden.
- The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is
eliminated.
- The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple
manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start,
stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this
change.

When CONFIG_TMPFS=n mpol_to_str() is not declared in mempolicy.h.
However, in the NUMA case, the definition is always compiled.
Since it is not strictly true that tmpfs is the only client, and since the
symbol was always lurking around anyways, export mpol_to_str()
unconditionally. Furthermore, this will allow us to move show_numa_map()
out of mempolicy.c and into the procfs subsystem.
