| |
The patchset contains mainly scalability and NUMA stuff, and anything else that stops things from irritating me. It's meant to be pretty stable, not so much a testing ground for new stuff.
I'd be very interested in feedback from anyone willing to test on any platform, however large or small.
http://www.aracnet.com/~fletch/linux/2.5.54/patch-2.5.54-mjb2.bz2
Since 2.5.54-mjb1 (mainly finished moving NUMA-Q into subarch).
- kgdb + kgdb (new version) Andrew Morton / Various People ~ i386_caching_topo (rejigged) + cleanup_cpu_apicid Martin Bligh + smpboot_cam Martin Bligh + nuke_clustered_apic Martin Bligh ~ interrupt_stacks (fixed a warning) ~ stack_usage_check (fixed a warning) + do_boot_error (this was in -mjb1, but I forgot it in the notes)
Also reordered a bunch of stuff.
Pending: Speed up page init on boot (Bill Irwin) Notsc automatic enablement Full Summit support (James C / John) scheduler callers profiling (Anton) PPC64 NUMA patches (Anton) Scheduler tunables (rml) Lockless xtime structures (Andi)

noframeptr Martin Bligh Disable -fomit_frame_pointer
apicid_to_node Martin Bligh Create an machine specific apicid_to_node for everyone
i386_topo Matt Dobson Some i386 topology cleanups to make it cache the data.
do_boot_error James Cleverdon Change do_boot_cpu to return an error code instead of fishing globally

numasched2 Michael Hohnbaum Numa scheduler lightweight initial load balancing.
local_pgdat Bill Irwin Move the pgdat structure into the remapped space with lmem_map
more_numaq1 James Cleverdon / Martin Bligh yet more Numa-Q subarch splitup
cleanup_cpu_apicid Martin J. Bligh Cleanup & simplify the apicid <-> cpu mapping stuff I put in ages ago.
smpboot_cam Martin J. Bligh Remove clustered_apic_mode stuff from smpboot.c
nuke_clustered_apic Martin J. Bligh Kill clustered_apic_mode and CONFIG_CLUSTERED_APIC forever.
thread_info_cleanup (4K stacks pt 1) Dave Hansen / Ben LaHaise Prep work to reduce kernel stacks to 4K
interrupt_stacks (4K stacks pt 2) Dave Hansen / Ben LaHaise Create a per-cpu interrupt stack.
stack_usage_check (4K stacks pt 3) Dave Hansen / Ben LaHaise Check for kernel stack overflows.
4k_stack (4K stacks pt 4) Dave Hansen Config option to reduce kernel stacks to 4K
notsc Martin Bligh Enable notsc option for NUMA-Q (new version for new config system)
