SKAS mode is like 4G/4G (here we have actually 3G/3G) for guest processes, so
when checking for kernel stack overflow, we must first make sure we are

(i.e.  check if there is less than 1k of stack left; see
arch/i386/kernel/irq.c:do_IRQ()).  And also, THREAD_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE * 2, in

this1).  Thanks to the good eye of Alex Züpke <azu@sysgo.de> for first seeing

[PATCH] uml: Fixes "fixdep.c" to support arch/um/include/uml-config.h.

You probably saw that if you change one config option, even if
linux/autoconf.h (which is included by everything) changes, the kernel is
smart enough not to recompile everything.  But with UML this no more holds.
Why?  Because, as you see in this patch, fixdep avoids making anything depend
onto linux/autoconf.h *explicitly*, but nobody taught him to do the same for
arch/um/include/uml-config.h.  So apply this patch.  Do not say "I don't want
to change the generic Kbuild for one arch": this cannot hurt.  It's a bugfix
for us, a no-op for others.

Note: with this patch, fixdep will still add a dependency from a file
containing UML_CONFIG_BYE onto CONFIG_BYE.  Since someone could think that
fixdep should grep for [^A-Z_]CONFIG_ rather than simply for CONFIG_, I've
added a comment that ask *not to fix* this "bug".

[PATCH] i386 virtual memory layout rework

  Rework the i386 mm layout to allow applications to allocate more virtual
  memory, and larger contiguous chunks.

  - the patch is compatible with existing architectures that either make
    use of HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA or use the default mmap() allocator - there
    is no change in behavior.

  - 64-bit architectures can use the same mechanism to clean up 32-bit
    compatibility layouts: by defining HAVE_ARCH_PICK_MMAP_LAYOUT and
    providing a arch_pick_mmap_layout() function - which can then decide
    between various mmap() layout functions.

  - I also introduced a new personality bit (ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT) to signal
    older binaries that dont have PT_GNU_STACK.  x86 uses this to revert back
    to the stock layout.  I also changed x86 to not clear the personality bits
    upon exec(), like x86-64 already does.

  - once every architecture that uses HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA has defined
    its arch_pick_mmap_layout() function, we can get rid of
    HAVE_ARCH_UNMAPPED_AREA altogether, as a final cleanup.

  the new layout generation function (__get_unmapped_area()) got significant
  testing in FC1/2, so i'm pretty confident it's robust.

  Compiles & boots fine on an 'old' and on a 'new' x86 distro as well.

  The two known breakages were:

     http://www.redhatconfig.com/msg/67248.html

     [ 'cyzload' third-party utility broke. ]

     http://www.zipworld.com/au/~akpm/dde.tar.gz

     [ your editor broke :-) ]

  both were caused by application bugs that did:

int ret = malloc();

if (ret <= 0)
failure;

  such bugs are easy to spot if they happen, and if it happens it's possible
  to work it around immediately without having to change the binary, via the
  setarch patch.

  No other application has been found to be affected, and this particular
  change got pretty wide coverage already over RHEL3 and exec-shield, it's in
  use for more than a year.

  The setarch utility can be used to trigger the compatibility layout on
  x86, the following version has been patched to take the `-L' option:

  http://people.redhat.com/mingo/flexible-mmap/setarch-1.4-2.tar.gz

  "setarch -L i386 <command>" will run the command with the old layout.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

  The problem is in the flexible mmap patch: arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown
  is liable to give your mmap vm_start above TASK_SIZE with vm_end wrapped;
  which is confusing, and ends up as that BUG_ON(mm->map_count).

  The patch below stops that behaviour, but it's not the full solution:
  wilson_mmap_test -s 1000 then simply cannot allocate memory for the large
  mmap, whereas it works fine non-top-down.

  I think it's wrong to interpret a large or rlim_infinite stack rlimit as
  an inviolable request to reserve that much for the stack: it makes much less
  VM available than bottom up, not what was intended.  Perhaps top down should
  go bottom up (instead of belly up) when it fails - but I'd probably better
  leave that to Ingo.

  Or perhaps the default should place stack below text (as WLI suggested and
  ELF intended, with its text defaulting to 0x08048000, small progs sharing
  page table between stack and text and data); with a further personality for
  those needing bigger stack.

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

  - fall back to the bottom-up layout if the stack can grow unlimited (if
  the stack ulimit has been set to RLIM_INFINITY)

  - try the bottom-up allocator if the top-down allocator fails - this can
  utilize the hole between the true bottom of the stack and its ulimit, as a
  last-resort effort.

[PATCH] sched: smt fixes

while looking at HT scheduler bugreports and boot failures i discovered a
bad assumption in most of the HT scheduling code: that resched_task() can
be called without holding the task's runqueue.

This is most definitely not valid - doing it without locking can lead to
the task on that CPU exiting, and this CPU corrupting the (ex-) task_info
struct.  It can also lead to HT-wakeup races with task switching on that
other CPU.  (this_CPU marking the wrong task on that_CPU as need_resched -
resulting in e.g.  idle wakeups not working.)

The attached patch against fixes it all up. Changes:

- resched_task() needs to touch the task so the runqueue lock of that CPU
  must be held: resched_task() now enforces this rule.

- wake_priority_sleeper() was called without holding the runqueue lock.

- wake_sleeping_dependent() needs to hold the runqueue locks of all
  siblings (2 typically).  Effects of this ripples back to schedule() as
  well - in the non-SMT case it gets compiled out so it's fine.

- dependent_sleeper() needs the runqueue locks too - and it's slightly
  harder because it wants to know the 'next task' info which might change
  during the lock-drop/reacquire.  Ripple effect on schedule() => compiled
  out on non-SMT so fine.

- resched_task() was disabling preemption for no good reason - all paths
  that called this function had either a spinlock held or irqs disabled.

Compiled & booted on x86 SMP and UP, with and without SMT. Booted the
SMT kernel on a real SMP+HT box as well. (Unpatched kernel wouldn't even
boot with the resched_task() assert in place.)

to measure the latency between the time a process is made runnable and the

   because the new fields break older procps. It's cleaner this way
   anyway. This moving of fields necessiated a bump to version 10.

Documentation/sched-stats.txt:

 - updated sched-stats.txt for version 10

 - wake_up_forked_thread() => wake_up_new_task()

 - updated the per-process field description

Kconfig:

 - removed the default y and made the option dependent on DEBUG_KERNEL.
   This is really for scheduler analysis, normal users dont need the
   overhead.

include/linux/sched.h:

 - moved the definitions into kernel/sched.c - this fixes UP compilation
   and is cleaner.

 - also moved the sched-domain definitions to sched.c - now that the
   sched-domains internals are not exposed to architectures this is
   doable. It's also necessary due to the previous change.

kernel/fork.c:

 - moved the ->sched_info init to sched_fork() where it belongs.

kernel/sched.c:

 - wake_up_forked_thread() -> wake_up_new_task(), wuft_cnt -> wunt_cnt,
   wuft_moved -> wunt_moved.

 - wunt_cnt and wunt_moved were defined by never updated - added the
   missing code to wake_up_new_task().

 - whitespace/style police

 - removed whitespace changes done to code not related to schedstats -

  This patch adds some more NUMA specific logic to the creation of scheduler
  domains.  Domains spanning all CPUs in a large system are too large to
  schedule across efficiently, leading to livelocks and inordinate amounts of
  time being spent in scheduler routines.  With this patch applied, the node
  scheduling domains for NUMA platforms will only contain a specified number
  of nearby CPUs, based on the value of SD_NODES_PER_DOMAIN.  It also allows
  arches to override SD_NODE_INIT, which sets the domain scheduling parameters
  for each node's domain.  This is necessary especially for large systems.

  Possible future directions:

  o multilevel node hierarchy (e.g.  node domains could contain 4 nodes
    worth of CPUs, supernode domains could contain 32 nodes worth, etc.  each
    with their own SD_NODE_INIT values)

  o more tweaking of SD_NODE_INIT values for good load balancing vs.
    overhead tradeoffs

  now be redefined by arch code without duplicating the entire setup code.

another effect is that nice 0 tasks now get a round 100 msecs of timeslices

here's a table of old/new timeslice values, for HZ=1000 and 100:

NFSv2: In the NFSv3 RFC, the sattr3 structure passed in the SETATTR
   call allows for the client to request that the mtime and/or atime
   of an inode be set to the current server time, the given (client)
   time, or not changed.  The set-to-current-server value is used
   when you run "touch file" on the client.

The NFSv2 RFC defines no such encoding for the sattr structure.
   However Solaris and Irix machine obey a convention where passing
   the invalid value mtime.useconds=1000000 means "set both mtime and
   atime to the current server time".  The convention is documented
   in the book "NFS Illustrated" by Brent Callaghan.  The patch below
   implements this convention for the Linux client and server (hence
   multiple To:s).

NFS: While the storage container for NFS file handles must be able to

Trond Myklebust [Mon, 23 Aug 2004 14:15:13 +0000 (10:15 -0400)]
NFS: In 2.4, NFS O_DIRECT used the VFS's O_DIRECT logic to provide
   direct I/O support for NFS files.  The 2.4 VFS O_DIRECT logic was
   block based, thus the NFS client had to provide a minimum
   allowable blocksize for O_DIRECT reads and writes on NFS files.
   For various reasons we chose 512 bytes. In 2.6, there is no
   requirement for a minimum blocksize.  NFS O_DIRECT reads and
   writes can go to any byte at any offset in a file.  Thus we revert
   the blocksize setting for NFS file systems to the previous
   behavior, which was to advertise the "wsize" setting as the
   optimal I/O block size.  This improves the performance of
   applications like 'cp' which use this value as their transfer
   size.

This patch also exposes the server's reported disk block size in the
   f_frsize of the vfsstat structure.
