The ixp2000 is an xscale-based CPU with a number of additional small CPUs ('microengines') on die that can be programmed to do various things. Depending on the ixp2000 model, there are between 2 and 16 microengines. This code provides an API that allows configuring the microengines, loading code into them, and starting and stopping them and reading out a number of status registers, and is used by the microengine network driver that was recently announced to netdev.

This fear is ungrounded -- the slave CPU is wired up such that a CPU reset will not cause a PCI bus reset to be done. This patch changes arch_reset() so that the slave CPU also executes the reset sequence, allowing it to reboot itself using /sbin/reboot.

Properly aligned iotable mappings with MT_IXP2000_DEVICE will cause section mappings with XCB=101 to be done, which is safe.

This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

This rewrite adds a tristate CONFIG_RCU_TORTURE_TEST, which enables an intense torture test of the RCU infratructure. This is needed due to the continued changes to the RCU infrastructure to accommodate dynamic ticks, CPU hotplug, realtime, and so on. Most of the code is in a separate file that is compiled only if the CONFIG variable is set. Documentation on how to run the test and interpret the output is also included. This code has been tested on i386 and ppc64, and an earlier version of the code has received extensive testing on a number of architectures as part of the PREEMPT_RT patchset. Signed-off-by: "Paul E.

The notable changes are: (1) The key struct now supports a security pointer for the use of security modules. This will permit key labelling and restrictions on which programs may access a key. (2) Security modules get a chance to note (or abort) the allocation of a key. (3) The key permission checking can now be enhanced by the security modules; the permissions check consults LSM if all other checks bear out. (4) The key permissions checking functions now return an error code rather than a boolean value. (5) An extra permission has been added to govern the modification of attributes (UID, GID, permissions). Note that there isn't an LSM hook specifically for each keyctl() operation, but rather the permissions hook allows control of individual operations based on the permission request bits. Key management access control through LSM is enabled by automatically if both CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_SECURITY are enabled.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch automatically updates a tasks NUMA mempolicy when its cpuset memory placement changes. It does so within the context of the task, without any need to support low level external mempolicy manipulation. If a system is not using cpusets, or if running on a system with just the root (all-encompassing) cpuset, then this remap is a no-op. Only when a task is moved between cpusets, or a cpusets memory placement is changed does the following apply. Otherwise, the main routine below, rebind_policy() is not even called. When mixing cpusets, scheduler affinity, and NUMA mempolicies, the essential role of cpusets is to place jobs (several related tasks) on a set of CPUs and Memory Nodes, the essential role of sched_setaffinity is to manage a jobs processor placement within its allowed cpuset, and the essential role of NUMA mempolicy (mbind, set_mempolicy) is to manage a jobs memory placement within its allowed cpuset. However, CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement are managed within the kernel using absolute system wide numbering, not cpuset relative numbering. This is ok until a job is migrated to a different cpuset, or what's the same, a jobs cpuset is moved to different CPUs and Memory Nodes. Then the CPU affinity and NUMA memory placement of the tasks in the job need to be updated, to preserve their cpuset-relative position. This can be done for CPU affinity using sched_setaffinity() from user code, as one task can modify anothers CPU affinity. This cannot be done from an external task for NUMA memory placement, as that can only be modified in the context of the task using it. However, it easy enough to remap a tasks NUMA mempolicy automatically when a task is migrated, using the existing cpuset mechanism to trigger a refresh of a tasks memory placement after its cpuset has changed. All that is needed is the old and new nodemask, and notice to the task that it needs to rebind its mempolicy. The tasks mems_allowed has the old mask, the tasks cpuset has the new mask, and the existing cpuset_update_current_mems_allowed() mechanism provides the notice. The bitmap/cpumask/nodemask remap operators provide the cpuset relative calculations. This patch leaves open a couple of issues: 1) Updating vma and shmfs/tmpfs/hugetlbfs memory policies: These mempolicies may reference nodes outside of those allowed to the current task by its cpuset. Tasks are migrated as part of jobs, which reside on what might be several cpusets in a subtree. When such a job is migrated, all NUMA memory policy references to nodes within that cpuset subtree should be translated, and references to any nodes outside that subtree should be left untouched. A future patch will provide the cpuset mechanism needed to mark such subtrees. With that patch, we will be able to correctly migrate these other memory policies across a job migration. 2) Updating cpuset, affinity and memory policies in user space: This is harder. Any placement state stored in user space using system-wide numbering will be invalidated across a migration. More work will be required to provide user code with a migration-safe means to manage its cpuset relative placement, while preserving the current API's that pass system wide numbers, not cpuset relative numbers across the kernel-user boundary.

| * | | [PATCH] cpusets: bitmap and mask remap operatorsPaul Jackson2005-10-303-0/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while preserving cpuset-relative offset. For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.) As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. This patch provides that. These operations are termed 'remap' operations. Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported.

| * | | [PATCH] cpusets: dual semaphore locking overhaulPaul Jackson2005-10-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Overhaul cpuset locking. Replace single semaphore with two semaphores. The suggestion to use two locks was made by Roman Zippel. Both locks are global. Code that wants to modify cpusets must first acquire the exclusive manage_sem, which allows them read-only access to cpusets, and holds off other would-be modifiers. Before making actual changes, the second semaphore, callback_sem must be acquired as well. Code that needs only to query cpusets must acquire callback_sem, which is also a global exclusive lock. The earlier problems with double tripping are avoided, because it is allowed for holders of manage_sem to nest the second callback_sem lock, and only callback_sem is needed by code called from within __alloc_pages(), where the double tripping had been possible. This is not quite the same as a normal read/write semaphore, because obtaining read-only access with intent to change must hold off other such attempts, while allowing read-only access w/o such intention. Changing cpusets involves several related checks and changes, which must be done while allowing read-only queries (to avoid the double trip), but while ensuring nothing changes (holding off other would be modifiers.) This overhaul of cpuset locking also makes careful use of task_lock() to guard access to the task->cpuset pointer, closing a couple of race conditions noticed while reading this code (thanks, Roman). I've never seen these races fail in any use or test. See further the comments in the code.
