* [PATCH] mm: tlb_finish_mmu forget rssHugh Dickins2005-10-291-9/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | zap_pte_range has been counting the pages it frees in tlb->freed, then tlb_finish_mmu has used that to update the mm's rss. That got stranger when I added anon_rss, yet updated it by a different route; and stranger when rss and anon_rss became mm_counters with special access macros. And it would no longer be viable if we're relying on page_table_lock to stabilize the mm_counter, but calling tlb_finish_mmu outside that lock. Remove the mmu_gather's freed field, let tlb_finish_mmu stick to its own business, just decrement the rss mm_counter in zap_pte_range (yes, there was some point to batching the update, and a subsequent patch restores that). And forget the anal paranoia of first reading the counter to avoid going negative - if rss does go negative, just fix that bug. Remove the mmu_gather's flushes and avoided_flushes from arm and arm26: no use was being made of them. But arm26 alone was actually using the freed, in the way some others use need_flush: give it a need_flush. arm26 seems to prefer spaces to tabs here: respect that.

* [PATCH] mm: tlb_is_full_mm was obscureHugh Dickins2005-10-291-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tlb_is_full_mm? What does that mean? The TLB is full? No, it means that the mm's last user has gone and the whole mm is being torn down. And it's an inline function because sparc64 uses a different (slightly better) "tlb_frozen" name for the flag others call "fullmm". And now the ptep_get_and_clear_full macro used in zap_pte_range refers directly to tlb->fullmm, which would be wrong for sparc64. Rather than correct that, I'd prefer to scrap tlb_is_full_mm altogether, and change sparc64 to just use the same poor name as everyone else - is that okay?

* [PATCH] mm: tlb_gather_mmu get_cpu_varHugh Dickins2005-10-291-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | tlb_gather_mmu dates from before kernel preemption was allowed, and uses smp_processor_id or __get_cpu_var to find its per-cpu mmu_gather. That works because it's currently only called after getting page_table_lock, which is not dropped until after the matching tlb_finish_mmu. But don't rely on that, it will soon change: now disable preemption internally by proper get_cpu_var in tlb_gather_mmu, put_cpu_var in tlb_finish_mmu.

* [PATCH] x86-64: Increase TLB flush array sizeAndi Kleen2005-09-121-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic TLB flush functions kept upto 506 pages per CPU to avoid too frequent IPIs. This value was done for the L1 cache of older x86 CPUs, but with modern CPUs it does not make much sense anymore. TLB flushing is slow enough that using the L2 cache is fine. This patch increases the flush array on x86-64 to cache 5350 pages. That is roughly 20MB with 4K pages. It speeds up large munmaps in multithreaded processes on SMP considerably. The cost is roughly 42k of memory per CPU, which is reasonable. I only increased it on x86-64 for now, but it would probably make sense to increase it everywhere. Embedded architectures with SMP may keep it smaller to save some memory per CPU. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+160
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
