I tried to upgrade an IA32 chroot on my IA64 to a new glibc with TLS.
It kept dying because set_thread_area was returning -ESRCH
(bugs.debian.org/451939).
I instrumented arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:get_free_idx() and ended up
seeing output like
[pid] idx desc->a desc->b
-----------------------------
[2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 1 -> 0 0
[2710] 2 -> 0 0
[2710] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2710] 2 -> 0 0
[2711] 0 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2711] 1 -> c6b0ffff 40dff31b
[2711] 2 -> 48c0ffff 40dff317
which suggested to me that TLS pointers were surviving exec() calls,
leading to GDT pointers filling up and the eventual failure of
get_free_idx().
I think the solution is flushing the tls array on exec.

Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.
Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.
The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,
because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than
a physical one.

This reverts commit 54f9f80d65 ("hugetlb:
Add hugetlb_dynamic_pool sysctl")
Given the new sysctl nr_overcommit_hugepages, the boolean dynamic pool
sysctl is not needed, as its semantics can be expressed by 0 in the
overcommit sysctl (no dynamic pool) and non-0 in the overcommit sysctl
(pool enabled).
(Needed in 2.6.24 since it reverts a post-2.6.23 userspace-visible change)

hugetlb: introduce nr_overcommit_hugepages sysctl
While examining the code to support /proc/sys/vm/hugetlb_dynamic_pool, I
became convinced that having a boolean sysctl was insufficient:
1) To support per-node control of hugepages, I have previously submitted
patches to add a sysfs attribute related to nr_hugepages. However, with
a boolean global value and per-mount quota enforcement constraining the
dynamic pool, adding corresponding control of the dynamic pool on a
per-node basis seems inconsistent to me.
2) Administration of the hugetlb dynamic pool with multiple hugetlbfs
mount points is, arguably, more arduous than it needs to be. Each quota
would need to be set separately, and the sum would need to be monitored.
To ease the administration, and to help make the way for per-node
control of the static & dynamic hugepage pool, I added a separate
sysctl, nr_overcommit_hugepages. This value serves as a high watermark
for the overall hugepage pool, while nr_hugepages serves as a low
watermark. The boolean sysctl can then be removed, as the condition
nr_overcommit_hugepages > 0
indicates the same administrative setting as
hugetlb_dynamic_pool == 1
Quotas still serve as local enforcement of the size of the pool on a
per-mount basis.
A few caveats:
1) There is a race whereby the global surplus huge page counter is
incremented before a hugepage has allocated. Another process could then
try grow the pool, and fail to convert a surplus huge page to a normal
huge page and instead allocate a fresh huge page. I believe this is
benign, as no memory is leaked (the actual pages are still tracked
correctly) and the counters won't go out of sync.
2) Shrinking the static pool while a surplus is in effect will allow the
number of surplus huge pages to exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.
Successfully tested on x86_64 with the current libhugetlbfs snapshot,
modified to use the new sysctl.

ecryptfs in 2.6.24-rc3 wasn't surviving fsx for me at all, dying after 4
ops. Generally, encountering problems with stale data and improperly
zeroed pages. An extending truncate + write for example would expose stale
data.
With the changes below I got to a million ops and beyond with all mmap ops
disabled - mmap still needs work. (A version of this patch on a RHEL5
kernel ran for over 110 million fsx ops)
I added a few comments as well, to the best of my understanding
as I read through the code.

bloat-o-meter assumes that a '.' anywhere in a symbol's name means that it
is static and prepends 'static.' to the first part of the symbol name,
discarding the portion of the name that follows the '.'. However, the
names of function entry points begin with '.' in the ppc64 ABI. This
causes all function text size changes to be accounted to a single 'static.'
entry in the output when comparing ppc64 kernels.
Change getsizes() to ignore the first character of the symbol name when
searching for '.'.

In some cases the IO subsystem is able to merge requests if the pages are
adjacent in physical memory. This was achieved in the allocator by having
expand() return pages in physically contiguous order in situations were a
large buddy was split. However, list-based anti-fragmentation changed the
order pages were returned in to avoid searching in buffered_rmqueue() for a
page of the appropriate migrate type.
This patch restores behaviour of rmqueue_bulk() preserving the physical
order of pages returned by the allocator without incurring increased search
costs for anti-fragmentation.
