[IA64] SGI Altix hardware performance monitoring API
The SGI Altix PROM supports a SAL call for performance monitoring and for
exporting NUMA topology. We need this in community kernels for diagnostic
and performance tools to use, especially on very large machines.
This patch registers a dynamic misc device "sn_hwperf" that supports an
ioctl interface for reading/writing memory mapped registers on Altix
nodes and routers via the new SAL call. It also creates a read-only
procfs file "/proc/sgi_sn/sn_topology" to export NUMA topology and Altix
hardware inventory.
> What tools are using this?
Performance Co-Pilot http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp in particular,
pmshub, shubstats and linkstat. Numerous other users include anything
that needs knowledge of numa topology/interconnect in order to perform
well, e.g. mpt. BTW I have not exported any API functions .. at this
point I don't think we need any modules to call the API.

This change switches matroxfb on x86 and x86_64 from dereferencing

Then it switches only supported architecture left (ppc/ppc64/arm) from

[PATCH] back out siginfo_t.si_rusage from waitid changes
As I explained in the waitid patches, I added the si_rusage field to
siginfo_t with the idea of having the siginfo_t waitid fills in contain all
the information that wait4 or any such call could ever tell you. Nowhere
in POSIX nor anywhere else specifies this field in siginfo_t.
When Ulrich and I hashed out the system call interface we wanted, we looked
at siginfo_t and decided there was plenty of space to throw in si_rusage.
Well, it turns out we didn't check the 64-bit platforms. There struct
rusage is ridiculously large (lots of longs for things that are never in a
million years going to hit 2^32), and my changes bumped up the size of
siginfo_t. Changing that size is more trouble than it's worth.
This patch reverts the changes to the siginfo_t structure types,
and no longer provides the rusage details in SIGCHLD signal data.
Instead, I added a fifth argument to the waitid system call to fill in rusage.
waitid is the name of the POSIX function with four arguments. It might
make sense to rename the system call `waitsys' to follow SGI's system call
with the same arguments, or `wait5' in the mindless tradition. But, feh.
I just added the argument to sys_waitid, rather than worrying about
changing the name in all the tables (and choosing a new stupid name).

[IPV4]: Make fib_semantics algorithms scale better.
A singly linked list was previously used to
do fib_info object lookup for various actions
in the routing code. This does not scale very
well with many devices and even a moderate number
of routes. This was noted by Benjamin Lahaise.
To fix all of this we use 3 hash tables, two of
which grow dynamically as the number fib_info
objects increases while the final one is fixes in
size.
The statically sized table hashes on device index.
This is used for fib_sync_down, fib_sync_up, and
ip_fib_check_default.
The first dynamically sized table is keyed on
protocol, prefsrc, and priority. This is used
by fib_create_info() to look for existing fib_info
objects matching the new one being constructed.
The last dynamically sized table is keyed on
the preferred source of the route if it has one
specified. This is used by fib_sync_down when
a local address disappears.
There are still some scalability problems for
Bens test case in fib_hash.c and I will try to
attack those next.

past OSMR0 otherwise the system timer won't start ticking until
OSCR wraps around (aprox 17 min.

max_hw_sectors_kb is the maximum that the driver can handle and is

It's all locking-safe and all affected layered drivers have been updated as
well. The patch has been in testing for a couple of weeks already as part
of the voluntary-preempt patches and it works just fine - people use it to
reduce IDE IRQ handling latencies.
This patch adds a prctl to modify current->comm as shown in /proc. This
feature was requested by KDE developers. In KDE most programs are started by
forking from a kdeinit program that already has the libraries loaded and some
other state.
Problem is to give these forked programs the proper name. It already writes
the command line in the environment (as seen in ps), but top uses a different
field in /proc/pid/status that reports current->comm. And that was always
"kdeinit" instead of the real command name. So you ended up with lots of
kdeinits in your top listing, which was not very useful.
This patch adds a new prctl PR_SET_NAME to allow a program to change its comm
field.
I considered the potential security issues of a program obscuring itself with
this interface, but I don't think it matters much because a program can
already obscure itself when the admin uses ps instead of top. In case of a
KDE desktop calling everything kdeinit is much more obfuscation than the
alternative.
