The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'
In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS. So other threads doing
read()/write()/... calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.
Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.
It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine. See

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things
like that. What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic
code. The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's
going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc
that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of
requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which
performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether
iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error
message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in
wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile.

On ia64, it is possible to get NaT Consumption Fault and a kernel panic
when initializing sctp sideeffect commands arguments. The union
sctp_arg_t contains different sized elements and when loading a smaller
sized element (32 or 16 bits), it is possible for a speculative load to
fail and result in a NaT bit set which causes a kernel crash. The easy
way to get around it is to load the largerst member of the union.

The socket level timeout values are maintained in sctp_sock and
association level timeouts are in sctp_association. So there is

This patch introduces 4-level page tables to ia64. I have run
some benchmarks and found nothing interesting. Performance has
consistently fallen within the noise range.
It also introduces a config option (setting the default to 3
levels). The config option prevents having 4 level page
tables with 64k base page size.

This will let me chop the code size of several drivers right down. In
many cases the actual private data is very useful and constant for a
given host controller so being able to just pass it at probe time would
be very useful indeed (eg with the via driver would could pass the udma
clocking and reduce the code size, or with the AMD one the UDMA
multiplier and the offset)

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.
Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.
I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.

Since the udbg code in ppc64 has no ppc32 equivalent, move it straight
over into arch/powerpc (and include/asm-powerpc for udbg.h). In time,
we probably want to meld the various bits and pieces of 32-bit early
debugging code into udbg, but for now only include it on
CONFIG_PPC64=y builds. The only change during the move is to
standardise the protecting #ifdef/#define in udbg.h, and move its
banner comment above the initial #ifdef (which seems to be normal
practice).
Built and booted on POWER5 LPAR (ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64). Built
for 32bit multiplatform (ARCH=powerpc).

Convert to sparsemem and remove all the discontigmem code in the
process. This has a few advantages:
- The old numa_memory_lookup_table can go away
- All the arch specific discontigmem magic can go away
We also remove the triple pass of memory properties and instead create a
list of per node extents that we iterate through. A final cleanup would
be to change our lmb code to store extents per node, then we can reuse
that information in the numa code.
