If you _need_ to avoid udelay() in some cases, introduce udelay_unless_virtualized(), and switch few users to it. Just globaly defining udelay to nop is _ugly_.

This excuse has been given time and time again, and repeatedly been proven false. And as soon as one of your competitors makes their drivers open, guess which one gets 1000+ free developers working on their code ? Customers also like to buy hardware where they -know- support will not disappear in a year, when the vendor releases a new chip. In fact, in some markets, the engineers who wrote the code have often moved to the next project, by the time the customers actually get their hands on the end result. Open source means that problems found in real world field testing can be readily debugged and fixed.

I had got kernel panic after an hour of aiostress running. After patching I have not got aiostress massage "verify error, file %s offset %Lu contents (offset:bad:good):\n" during 5 hour aiostress running with 'verify' option. Looking closely into aiostress.c ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/mason/utils/aio-stress.c we can see that this program may write in random mode THE SAME contents to the same file offset asynchronously from different buffers and do not cure about it.

If invalidate_inode_pages2_range() will return EIOCBRETRY as the patch "aio: fix kernel bug when page is temporally busy" sets then do_sync_read/write() will not drop IO submit but will retry it: for (;;) { ret = filp->f_op->aio_read(&kiocb, &iov, 1, kiocb.ki_pos); if (ret != -EIOCBRETRY) break; wait_on_retry_sync_kiocb(&kiocb); } And do_sync_read/write() will not return EIO if page is busy as it does now, before patching.

Tony Luck told me he has integrated the idle notifier for IA-64. I saw that the i386 version of the notifier was recently integrated as well. So I think that for 2.6.21 we'll have everything we need for i386, x86-64 and ia64. On MIPS and PowerPC, a few things are still missing but they should be fixed soon. On x86-64 and i386, the one last thing I would need that you do not already have is in the NMI handler for the architectural perfmon to switch PERFCTR0 to PERFCTR1. This would allow certain events to be measured while the NMI watchdog is active. This is needed on Intel Core-based processors where certain events can ONLY be measured by PERFCTR0. The CPU_CLK_UNHALTED event used by the watchdog can be measured by any counter. I have attached the x86-64 patch for this. I can submit the i386 version as well. > The big open question was still the review of the syscall interface. > Probably needs some determined reviewers. > Not a problem. > I did a review of some of the basic low level code some time ago; > there were some issues but I believe they are probably all resolved > by now (but I haven't verified that recently) > Yes, all the changes and fixes you and Andrew had requested have been made. changelog: - for architectural perfmon support, switch from PERFCTR0 to PERFCTR1. this does free PERFCTR0 which is the only counter supported for certain events on Intel Core-based processors. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> diff --exclude=.git -urp linux-2.6.20.base/arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c linux-2.6.20/arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c --- linux-2.6.20.base/arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c 2007-02-05 00:31:52.0 -0800 +++ linux-2.6.20/arch/x86_64/kernel/nmi.c 2007-02-09 09:44:29.0 -0800 @@ -275,7 +275,7 @@ int __init check_nmi_watchdog (void) * 32nd bit should be 1, for 33.. to be 1. * Find the appropriate nmi_hz */ - if (wd->perfctr_msr == MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_PERFCTR0 && + if (wd->perfctr_msr == MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_PERFCTR1 && ((u64)cpu_khz * 1000) > 0x7fffULL) { nmi_hz = ((u64)cpu_khz * 1000) / 0x7fffUL + 1; } @@ -615,8 +615,8 @@ static int setup_intel_arch_watchdog(voi (ebx & ARCH_PERFMON_UNHALTED_CORE_CYCLES_PRESENT)) goto fail; - perfctr_msr = MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_PERFCTR0; - evntsel_msr = MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL0; + perfctr_msr = MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_PERFCTR1; + evntsel_msr = MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_EVENTSEL1; if (!reserve_perfctr_nmi(perfctr_msr)) goto fail; @@ -855,7 +855,7 @@ int __kprobes nmi_watchdog_tick(struct p dummy &= ~P4_CCCR_OVF; wrmsrl(wd->cccr_msr, dummy); apic_write(APIC_LVTPC, APIC_DM_NMI); - } else if (wd->perfctr_msr == MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_PERFCTR0) { + } else if (wd->perfctr_msr == MSR_ARCH_PERFMON_PERFCTR1) { /* * ArchPerfom/Core Duo needs to re-unmask * the apic vector - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I am far away from having any knowledge about the GCC internals and the reason why this code works, but I've been told the generic way of handling unaligned access is this: #define get_unaligned(ptr) \ ({ \ struct __attribute__((packed)) {\ typeof(*(ptr)) __v; \ } *__p = (void *) (ptr);\ __p->__v; \ }) #define put_unaligned(val, ptr) \ do {\ struct __attribute__((packed)) {\ typeof(*(ptr)) __v; \ } *__p = (void *) (ptr);\ __p->__v = (val); \ } while(0) Actually I am using this code in the Bluetooth userspace library for over two years now without any complaints.

I think all kernel threads should call try_to_freeze() in suitable places anyway if we are going to use the freezer for anything more than just the suspend. In other words, they all should be _able_ to freeze if necessary. > Once this is achieved, it's all about classifying the threads into > according to their NO_FREEZE needs :) Yes, but I think it's just a generalization of ingoring PF_NOFREEZE. If all kernel threads are able to freeze, we can mark them as "freeze for CPU hotplug" or "freeze for kprobes", or "freeze for suspend" etc. and call the freezer with the appropriate parameter. BTW, what happens to a process running on a CPU being removed? > > 2) We have to change the PM code to stop using CPU hotplug for disabling > > nonboot CPUs. ;-) > > Just wondering, how hard is that ? Hmmm. In fact the problem is that the suspend code freezes tasks and then calls disable_nonboot_cpus() which uses (_)cpu_down/up(). In principle we could make disable_nonboot_cpus() call some lower-level routines to avoid the freezing of tasks, _but_ the suspend code may freeze too few tasks (ie. we may want to freeze more tasks for the CPU hotplug). Thus I think we should do something like this: suspend:CPU hotplug: freeze_processes(SUSPEND) ... ... freeze_processes(CPU_HOTPLUG) ... ... ... thaw_processes(CPU_HOTPLUG) thaw_processes(SUSPEND) ... so freeze_processes() should be reentrant, at least for different values of the argument. All in all, I think we should start from modifying the freezer and the classification of processes with respect to the freezing.

Take that away and see where it goes. We seem to have different definitions of open and closed. Open = 3rd party Linux drivers can be loaded. Closed = No third party Linux drivers can be loaded. So most linux kernel developers chose to contribute to Linux because they prefer something closer to the GPL's notion of open (assuming your definitions are in the context of the legality of redistributing the end result). Don't take offence, but most of us don't _want_ the embedded developers who contribute nothing back. Even if you tripled the total Linux userbase, how would that be a good thing for anyone but yourself? Now imagine if nobody contributed anything back. The reason Linux is good enough that you chose in the first place is because of everyone contributing back. Why would we want to undermine that? My aim for Linux is not to have it shut down VxWorks, or to have a huge userbase, but to be the best OS out there. Maybe that helps explain the why others here don't share your opinion? With that said, there are some reasonable free BSD licensed operating systems out there that you can use without opening your source. -- SUSE Labs, Novell Inc.

I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding... Linux is not royalty free. Just the royalty is not in the form of cash, but in the form of having to give your improvements back to the open source world. Sure. But this is not legally binding. (this is paraphrasing the intent of the GPL basically, you can argue for hours if drivers are separate or improvements, and I'm not interested in that debate, it has been debated to death before and only lawyers will in the end be able to settle that on a case by case basis). If your mindset is "how much can I take take take without giving back back back" then personally I think you're sort of acting like a parasite in this context Ok so are thousands of others who are using Linux as their OS of choice in embedded systems. They are not doing this because they are eager to give back back. They are doing it because Linux provides compelling reasons for them to choose it. They could have very well chosen VxWorks or OSE too. They chose not to, but not because they were unwilling to be a parasite. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
