2011-07-24KVM: MMU: remove bypass_guest_pfXiao Guangrong
The idea is from Avi: | Maybe it's time to kill off bypass_guest_pf=1. It's not as effective as | it used to be, since unsync pages always use shadow_trap_nonpresent_pte, | and since we convert between the two nonpresent_ptes during sync and unsync.

2011-07-24KVM guest: KVM Steal time registrationGlauber Costa
This patch implements the kvm bits of the steal time infrastructure. The most important part of it, is the steal time clock. It is an continuous clock that shows the accumulated amount of steal time since vcpu creation. It is supposed to survive cpu offlining/onlining.

2011-07-22lguest: Simplify device initialization.Rusty Russell
We used to notify the Host every time we updated a device's status. However, it only really needs to know when we're resetting the device, or failed to initialize it, or when we've finished our feature negotiation. In particular, we used to wait for VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK in the status byte before starting the device service threads. But this corresponds to the successful finish of device initialization, which might (like virtio_blk's partition scanning) use the device. So we had a hack, if they used the device before we expected we started the threads anyway. Now we hook into the finalize_features hook in the Guest: at that point we tell the Launcher that it can rely on the features we have acked. On the Launcher side, we look at the status at that point, and start servicing the device. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2011-07-22lguest: Do not exit on non-fatal errorsSakari Ailus
Do not exit on some non-fatal errors: - writev() fails in net_output(). The result is a lost packet or packets. - writev() fails in console_output(). The result is partially lost console output. - readv() fails in net_input(). The result is a lost packet or packets. Rather than bringing the guest down, this patch ignores e.g. an allocation failure on the host side. Example: lguest: page allocation failure. order:4, mode:0x4d0 Pid: 4045, comm: lguest Tainted: G W 2.6.36 #1 Call Trace: [<c138d614>] ? printk+0x18/0x1c [<c106a4e2>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x4d2/0x570 [<c1087954>] cache_alloc_refill+0x2a4/0x4d0 [<c1305149>] ? __netif_receive_skb+0x189/0x270 [<c1087c5a>] __kmalloc+0xda/0xf0 [<c12fffa5>] __alloc_skb+0x55/0x100 [<c1305519>] ? net_rx_action+0x79/0x100 [<c12fafed>] sock_alloc_send_pskb+0x18d/0x280 [<c11fda25>] ? _copy_from_user+0x35/0x130 [<c13010b6>] ? memcpy_fromiovecend+0x56/0x80 [<c12a74dc>] tun_chr_aio_write+0x1cc/0x500 [<c108a125>] do_sync_readv_writev+0x95/0xd0 [<c11fda25>] ? _copy_from_user+0x35/0x130 [<c1089fa8>] ? rw_copy_check_uvector+0x58/0x100 [<c108a7bc>] do_readv_writev+0x9c/0x1d0 [<c12a7310>] ? tun_chr_aio_write+0x0/0x500 [<c108a93a>] vfs_writev+0x4a/0x60 [<c108aa21>] sys_writev+0x41/0x80 [<c138f061>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Mem-Info: DMA per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 0, btch: 1 usd: 0 Normal per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 0 HighMem per-cpu: CPU 0: hi: 186, btch: 31 usd: 0 active_anon:134651 inactive_anon:50543 isolated_anon:0 active_file:96881 inactive_file:132007 isolated_file:0 unevictable:0 dirty:3 writeback:0 unstable:0 free:91374 slab_reclaimable:6300 slab_unreclaimable:2802 mapped:2281 shmem:9 pagetables:330 bounce:0 DMA free:3524kB min:64kB low:80kB high:96kB active_anon:0kB inactive_anon:8kB active_file:8760kB inactive_file:2760kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:15868kB mlocked:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:16kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:88kB slab_unreclaimable:148kB kernel_stack:40kB pagetables:0kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 865 2016 2016 Normal free:150100kB min:3728kB low:4660kB high:5592kB active_anon:6224kB inactive_anon:15772kB active_file:324084kB inactive_file:325944kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:885944kB mlocked:0kB dirty:12kB writeback:0kB mapped:1520kB shmem:0kB slab_reclaimable:25112kB slab_unreclaimable:11060kB kernel_stack:1888kB pagetables:1320kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 9207 9207 HighMem free:211872kB min:512kB low:1752kB high:2992kB active_anon:532380kB inactive_anon:186392kB active_file:54680kB inactive_file:199324kB unevictable:0kB isolated(anon):0kB isolated(file):0kB present:1178504kB mlocked:0kB dirty:0kB writeback:0kB mapped:7588kB shmem:36kB slab_reclaimable:0kB slab_unreclaimable:0kB kernel_stack:0kB pagetables:0kB unstable:0kB bounce:0kB writeback_tmp:0kB pages_scanned:0 all_unreclaimable? no lowmem_reserve[]: 0 0 0 0 DMA: 3*4kB 65*8kB 35*16kB 18*32kB 11*64kB 9*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 3524kB Normal: 35981*4kB 344*8kB 158*16kB 28*32kB 0*64kB 0*128kB 0*256kB 0*512kB 0*1024kB 0*2048kB 0*4096kB = 150100kB HighMem: 5732*4kB 5462*8kB 2826*16kB 1598*32kB 84*64kB 10*128kB 7*256kB 1*512kB 1*1024kB 1*2048kB 9*4096kB = 211872kB 231237 total pagecache pages 2340 pages in swap cache Swap cache stats: add 160060, delete 157720, find 189017/194106 Free swap = 4179840kB Total swap = 4194300kB 524271 pages RAM 296946 pages HighMem 5668 pages reserved 867664 pages shared 82155 pages non-shared Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@iki.fi> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2011-07-21fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlersJosef Bacik
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

2011-07-21fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flagsJosef Bacik
This just gets us ready to support the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags. Turns out using fiemap in things like cp cause more problems than it solves, so lets try and give userspace an interface that doesn't suck. We need to match solaris here, and the definitions are *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_HOLE, the offset of the start of the next hole greater than or equal to the supplied offset is returned. The definition of a hole is provided near the end of the DESCRIPTION. *o* If /whence/ is SEEK_DATA, the file pointer is set to the start of the next non-hole file region greater than or equal to the supplied offset. So in the generic case the entire file is data and there is a virtual hole at the end. That means we will just return i_size for SEEK_HOLE and will return the same offset for SEEK_DATA. This is how Solaris does it so we have to do it the same way. Thanks, Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2011-07-21vfs: increase shrinker batch sizeDave Chinner
Now that the per-sb shrinker is responsible for shrinking 2 or more caches, increase the batch size to keep econmies of scale for shrinking each cache. Increase the shrinker batch size to 1024 objects. To allow for a large increase in batch size, add a conditional reschedule to prune_icache_sb() so that we don't hold the LRU spin lock for too long. This mirrors the behaviour of the __shrink_dcache_sb(), and allows us to increase the batch size without needing to worry about problems caused by long lock hold times. To ensure that filesystems using the per-sb shrinker callouts don't cause problems, document that the object freeing method must reschedule appropriately inside loops.

2011-07-21superblock: add filesystem shrinker operationsDave Chinner
Now we have a per-superblock shrinker implementation, we can add a filesystem specific callout to it to allow filesystem internal caches to be shrunk by the superblock shrinker. Rather than perpetuate the multipurpose shrinker callback API (i.e. nr_to_scan == 0 meaning "tell me how many objects freeable in the cache), two operations will be added. The first will return the number of objects that are freeable, the second is the actual shrinker call.

2011-07-19ARM: 6999/1: head, zImage: Always Enter the kernel in ARM stateDave Martin
Currently, the documented kernel entry requirements are not explicit about whether the kernel should be entered in ARM or Thumb, leading to an ambiguitity about how to enter Thumb-2 kernels. As a result, the kernel is reliant on the zImage decompressor to enter the kernel proper in the correct instruction set state. This patch changes the boot entry protocol for head.S and Image to be the same as for zImage: in all cases, the kernel is now entered in ARM. Documentation/arm/Booting is updated to reflect this new policy. A different rule will be needed for Cortex-M class CPUs as and when support for those lands in mainline, since these CPUs don't support the ARM instruction set at all: a note is added to the effect that the kernel must be entered in Thumb on such systems.
