I've already sent this to the maintainers, and this is now being sent to a
larger community audience. I have fixed a problem with the ia64 version of
build_sched_domains(), but a similar fix still needs to be made to the
generic build_sched_domains() in kernel/sched.c.
The "dynamic sched domains" functionality has recently been merged into
2.6.13-rcN that sees the dynamic declaration of a cpu-exclusive (a.k.a.
"isolated") cpuset and rebuilds the CPU Scheduler sched domains and sched
groups to separate away the CPUs in this cpu-exclusive cpuset from the
remainder of the non-isolated CPUs. This allows the non-isolated CPUs to
completely ignore the isolated CPUs when doing load-balancing.
Unfortunately, build_sched_domains() expects that a sched domain will
include all the CPUs of each node in the domain, i.e., that no node will
belong in both an isolated cpuset and a non-isolated cpuset. Declaring a
cpuset that violates this presumption will produce flawed data structures
and will oops the kernel.
To trigger the problem (on a NUMA system with >1 CPUs per node):
cd /dev/cpuset
mkdir newcpuset
cd newcpuset
echo 0 >cpus
echo 0 >mems
echo 1 >cpu_exclusive
I have fixed this shortcoming for ia64 NUMA (with multiple CPUs per node).
A similar shortcoming exists in the generic build_sched_domains() (in
kernel/sched.c) for NUMA, and that needs to be fixed also. The fix
involves dynamically allocating sched_group_nodes[] and
sched_group_allnodes[] for each invocation of build_sched_domains(), rather
than using global arrays for these structures. Care must be taken to
remember kmalloc() addresses so that arch_destroy_sched_domains() can
properly kfree() the new dynamic structures.

This patch cleans up a commonly repeated set of changes to the NTP state
variables by adding two helper inline functions:
ntp_clear(): Clears the ntp state variables
ntp_synced(): Returns 1 if the system is synced with a time server.
This was compile tested for alpha, arm, i386, x86-64, ppc64, s390, sparc,
sparc64.

The i386 OProfile code has a function named nmi_exit(), which collides with
the nmi_exit() macro in linux/hardirq.h. At the moment, we get away with
it, because hardirq.h isn't included in the oprofile code. I hit this as a
bug when working with a patch which (indirectly) adds a #include of
hardirq.h to oprofile.
Regardless, the name collision is probably not a good idea, so this patch
fixes it, renaming the oprofile function to op_nmi_exit(). It also renames
the nmi_init() and nmi_timer_init() functions similarly, for consistency.

When I first wrote the compat layer patches, I was somewhat cavalier about
the definition of compat_uid_t and compat_gid_t (or maybe I just
misunderstood :-)). This patch makes the compat types much more consistent
with the types we are being compatible with and hopefully will fix a few
bugs along the way.
compat type type in compat arch
__compat_[ug]id_t __kernel_[ug]id_t
__compat_[ug]id32_t __kernel_[ug]id32_t
compat_[ug]id_t [ug]id_t
The difference is that compat_uid_t is always 32 bits (for the archs we
care about) but __compat_uid_t may be 16 bits on some.

Uses of RCU for dynamically changeable NMI handlers need to use the new
rcu_dereference() and rcu_assign_pointer() facilities. This change makes
it clear that these uses are safe from a memory-barrier viewpoint, but the
main purpose is to document exactly what operations are being protected by
RCU. This has been tested on x86 and x86-64, which are the only
architectures affected by this change.

This patch adds a new kernel debug feature: CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP.
When enabled then per-CPU watchdog threads are started, which try to run
once per second. If they get delayed for more than 10 seconds then a
callback from the timer interrupt detects this condition and prints out a
warning message and a stack dump (once per lockup incident). The feature
is otherwise non-intrusive, it doesnt try to unlock the box in any way, it
only gets the debug info out, automatically, and on all CPUs affected by
the lockup.

Up to date I've been using the GS value to determine the processor number
in dumps from show_regs, however this can be cumbersome to do if you don't
have the vmlinux to verify with the address of cpu_pda, how about the
following? I considered using hard_smp_processor_id for robustness but we
already dereference current so we're already relying on MSR_GS_BASE being
sane.

When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte
entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause
chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts.
CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the
interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well.
Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing.
- Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for
lack of a generic name.
- added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64
- Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq
handling time.
- Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead
it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set.
- Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating
when using generic irq framework.
Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off.
Tested UP builds as well.
MSI testing: tbd: I have cards, need to look for a x-over cable, although I
did test an earlier version of this patch. Will test in a couple days.

Currently, we set the class bit in kernel SLB entries, and clear it on
user SLB entries. On POWER5, ERAT entries created in real mode have
the class bit clear. So to avoid flushing kernel ERAT entries on each
context switch, this patch inverts our usage of the class bit, setting
it on user SLB entries and clearing it on kernel SLB entries.
Booted on POWER5 and G5.
