| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Change fixed size arrays to per_cpu variables or dynamically allocated arrays in sched_init() and sched_init_smp().

* asm-generic: add node_to_cpumask_ptr macroMike Travis2008-04-196-9/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a simple macro to always return a pointer to the node_to_cpumask(node) value. This relies on compiler optimization to remove the extra indirection: #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \ cpumask_t _##v = node_to_cpumask(node), *v = &_##v For those systems with a large cpumask size, then a true pointer to the array element can be used: #define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \ cpumask_t *v = &(node_to_cpumask_map[node]) A node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() macro is provided to access another node_to_cpumask value. The other change is to always include asm-generic/topology.h moving the ifdef CONFIG_NUMA to this same file. Note: there are no references to either of these new macros in this patch, only the definition.

* x86: oprofile: remove NR_CPUS arrays in arch/x86/oprofile/nmi_int.cMike Travis2008-04-191-22/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the following arrays sized by NR_CPUS to be PERCPU variables: static struct op_msrs cpu_msrs[NR_CPUS]; static unsigned long saved_lvtpc[NR_CPUS]; Also some minor complaints from checkpatch.pl fixed. Based on: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-x86.git All changes were transparent except for: static void nmi_shutdown(void) { + struct op_msrs *msrs = &__get_cpu_var(cpu_msrs); nmi_enabled = 0; on_each_cpu(nmi_cpu_shutdown, NULL, 0, 1); unregister_die_notifier(&profile_exceptions_nb); - model->shutdown(cpu_msrs); + model->shutdown(msrs); free_msrs(); } The existing code passed a reference to cpu 0's instance of struct op_msrs to model->shutdown, whilst the other functions are passed a reference to <this cpu's> instance of a struct op_msrs. This seemed to be a bug to me even though as long as cpu 0 and <this cpu> are of the same type it would have the same effect...?

* tasklets: execute tasklets in the same order they were queuedOlof Johansson2008-04-191-22/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed this when looking at an openswan issue. Openswan (ab?)uses the tasklet API to defer processing of packets in some situations, with one packet per tasklet_action(). I started noticing sequences of backwards-ordered sequence numbers coming over the wire, since new tasklets are always queued at the head of the list but processed sequentially. Convert it to instead append new entries to the tail of the list. As an extra bonus, the splicing code in takeover_tasklets() no longer has to iterate over the list.

* sched: rt-group: smp balancingPeter Zijlstra2008-04-192-6/+122
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the rt group scheduling does a per cpu runtime limit, however the rt load balancer makes no guarantees about an equal spread of real- time tasks, just that at any one time, the highest priority tasks run. Solve this by making the runtime limit a global property by borrowing excessive runtime from the other cpus once the local limit runs out.

This is done to avoid LSM registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module. User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen. LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux and SMACK to do so. Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.

| * [NET]: Fix and allocate less memory for ->priv'less netdevicesAlexey Dobriyan2008-04-181-6/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch effectively reverts commit d0498d9ae1a5cebac363e38907266d5cd2eedf89 aka "[NET]: Do not allocate unneeded memory for dev->priv alignment." It was found to be buggy because of final unconditional += NETDEV_ALIGN_CONST removal. For example, for sizeof(struct net_device) being 2048 bytes, "alloc_size" was also 2048 bytes, but allocator with debugging options turned on started giving out !32-byte aligned memory resulting in redzones overwrites. Patch does small optimization in ->priv'less case: bumping size to next 32-byte boundary was always done to ensure ->priv will also be aligned. But, no ->priv, no need to do that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes bugzilla #8895 If a super-tree leaf has 'rt' assigned to it and we get an error from fib6_add_rt2node(), we'll leave a reference to 'rt' in pn->leaf and then do an unconditional dst_free(). We should prune such references. Based upon a report by Vincent Perrier. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | found dev_get_by_index() may return NULL if nothing is found. In net/netlabel/netlabel_unlabeled.c::netlbl_unlabel_staticlist_gen() the function is called, but the return value is never checked. If it returns NULL then we'll deref a NULL pointer on the very next line. I checked the callers, and I don't think this can actually happen today, but code changes over time and in the future it might happen and it does no harm to be defensive and check for the failure, so that if/when it happens we'll fail gracefully instead of crashing.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | datalen is unsigned so it can never be less than zero, but that's ok because the attribute passed to nla_len() has been validated and therefore a negative return value is impossible.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This deblats ~200 bytes when ipv6 and dccp are 'y'. Besides, this will ease compilation issues for patches I'm working on to make inet hash tables more scalable wrt net namespaces.
