2006-02-17[PATCH] Provide an interface for getting the current tick lengthPaul Mackerras
This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally. The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length. Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that it was (still) correct. The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one, we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length. Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can be fixed up at the next tick.

2006-02-17[PATCH] Handle all and empty zones when setting up custom zonelists for mbindAndi Kleen
The memory allocator doesn't like empty zones (which have an uninitialized freelist), so a x86-64 system with a node fully in GFP_DMA32 only would crash on mbind. Fix that up by putting all possible zones as fallback into the zonelist and skipping the empty ones. In fact the code always enough allocated space for all zones, but only used it for the highest. This change just uses all the memory that was allocated before. This should work fine for now, but whoever implements node hot removal needs to fix this somewhere else too (or make sure zone datastructures by itself never go away, only their memory) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Acked-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-02-16[PATCH] Fix over-zealous tag clearing in radix_tree_deleteNeilBrown
If a tag is set for a node being deleted from a radix_tree, then that tag gets cleared from the parent of the node, even if it is set for some siblings of the node begin deleted. This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that 'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags' array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and possibly above.

Fix a latent bug in cpuset_exit() handling. If a task tried to allocate memory after calling cpuset_exit(), it oops'd in cpuset_update_task_memory_state() on a NULL cpuset pointer.

2006-02-15[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2)Christian Trefzer
There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach. - First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now. Due to this, the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which are completely stupid. - Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight has been turned off. Reading the value back during unblank will disable the LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since we set it to zero beforehand. So this is what we do now: - create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine whether to read back registers (initialized to true) - before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any possible change made through Fn key combo - use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something - every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it This should give us a nice and clean state machine. Has been thoroughly tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off. I changed the config via Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly. Signed-off-by: Christian Trefzer <ctrefzer@gmx.de> Cc: "Antonino A.
