 Okay, so it's an algorithmic problem.  This is quite important to know.

 Is /boot a separate partition on your disk by any chance?  Either way, this 
 means we can use qemu to debug this, which will make it a lot easier.

 This is what I'd like you to do next:

 - run qemu in one window with the -S -s options.
 - in another window, do:

   gdb
   target remote localhost:1234
   set architecture i8086
   disp/i ($cs  4)+$eip

   # ... hopefully you're now stopped at a jump instruction
   p/x $ds
   
   # Hopefully this is showing, say, 0x9000 if you're stopped

Am Sonntag 29 Juli 2007 schrieb Satyam Sharma:
 Hi Martin,

Hi Satyam,

  I believe that Ingo did not meant any bad at all. I think its just
  the way he works, he likes to have code before saying anything. But
  still I believe before I'd go about replacing someone else code
  completely I would inform that developer beforehand, even if it then
  turns out not to be feasible at all. No need to anounce it to the
  world already, but I would have informed that developer.

 IMHO, what you're suggesting is: (1) not the way development normally
 happens in Linux, and, (2) not the way it /should/ happen, either. If
 there's something (subsystem, any code big or small) I think I can do
 better or have an idea for, I /should/ be able to just hack on it a bit
 and then send it out so everybody can comment on it. Why should I be
 forced to dance/discuss around with some other people, when the faster
 and more effective way would be just present the code/patch that I
 have in my mind as an RFC?

Hmmm, that email would have taken how long? 5 minutes maybe?

I just feel that I would have written it if I happen to know that another 
developer spent lots of time and effort into a subsystem I plan to 
rewrite. Its just human logic to me. Especially when I happen to know 
that the other developer may be new to the kernel development process as 
I know it from a internal view point.

The current kernel development process tries to pretend that there is no 
human involvement. Which is plain inaccurate: It is *all* human 
involvement, without a human not a single bit of kernel code would 
change.

I always believed that kernel developers are human beings and no robots. 
And thus the kernel development process IMHO should be designed with 
human developers in mind instead of robots which take no offence out of 
anything. Otherwise things like what happened here will happen again and 
again and again and talent is lost.

It is damn good to take technical merits into full account! But ignoring 
human aspects of development actually will hinder this. Cause then in the 
end its not about technical merits anymore that do the decision, but that 
human aspects that have been ignored and are floating around 
unconsiously.

Actually I do believe that this discussion already took more resources 
than actually writing a few more mails and doing a bit more communication 
here and there... IMHO the fact that this discussion exists already shows 
that something in the process of submitting kernel patches and supporting 
involvement in kernel development can be improved upon.

 See, Martin, in the end it's not about developer A vs developer B. It's
 about making the kernel the best out there -- that's what the users
 want, anyway. Yes, I fully understand (and have said so earlier myself)
 that there's a very important social aspect to development on such
 projects, but it's best if developer B understands that this is the way
 things do (and should) happen and adapt to it. [ It's not like I've
 been around for long, however, but the above is still my opinion, fwiw.
 ]

I am not saying that developer B (Con) does not have his share in how it 
all happened. As written before I got the impression that Con reacted 
hurt where from my point of view no offence was meant - and I told him 
that. But from what I know it would have been possible to actually deal 
with that quite a bit better than has happened. And it would not have 
taken much effort. Well actually I think it would have been quite easy to 
take the talent that has offered itself.

   Yes.

  Ingo decides to do a better scheduler - to some extent inspired by

  Just trying to understand what you are arguing about.
 
 If I tried to rewrite a kernel subsystem - should I ever happen to dig 
 that deep into kernel matters - while I actually know that someone 
 already spent countless hours on exactly rewriting the exact same 
 subsystem, I think I would have told that other developer about it as 
 soon as I started coding on it.
The usual way to communicate such things on lkml are with patches as also
happened in this case.
It's not like Ingo had secretly developing a scheduler in parallel for
weeks or months but.
But I assume all the fuzz is about something else - it cannot be about
a these 48 hours - I hope..

Enough on this - back to work.

See below fix. Please test it.
Thanks in advance,

[WATCHDOG] Fix pcwd_init_module crash

Fix for the problem detected by Ingo Molnar:
enabling CONFIG_PCWATCHDOG=y crashes bzImage bootup.

The reason for this can be found in drivers/makefile
We first do:
obj-y   += char/
and later we do:
obj-y   += base/ block/ misc/ mfd/ net/ media/

So if we put a platform or isa or usb bus driver in char/watchdog
(which is called from the Makefile in drivers/char/Makefile)
then we didn't have the different device drivers initialized yet
(they are in drivers/base and drivers/usb and ...)

This fix makes sure that we compile the watchdog drivers after
drivers/base, drivers/misc, drivers/pci and drivers/usb.
We also do the compile after hwmon because in the future the
watchdog temperature support will use the hwmon system.

If the problem is reading stuff back in from swap at the *same time*

In that case, swap layout and swap i/o block size are secondary.
However, pre-fetching, so that swap read back is not interleaved

Perhaps we could have a 'wake-up' command, analogous to the various sleep

following it knew to do, in order to optimize for an anticipated change in
usage patterns:
 1) pre-fetch swap
 2) clean (write out) dirty pages
 3) maximize free memory
 4) layout swap nicely
 5) pre-fetch a favorite set of apps

Stumble out of bed in the morning, press 'wake-up', start boiling the
water for your coffee, and in another ten minutes, one is ready to rock
and roll.

In case Andrew is so bored he read this far -- yes this wake-up sounds
like user space code, with minimal kernel changes to support any
particular lower level operation that we can't do already.

Ah, so in a normal scenario where a working-set is getting faulted
back in, we have the swap storage as well as the file-backed stuff
that needs to be read as well. So even if swap is organized perfectly,
we're still seeking. Damn.

On the other hand, that explains another thing that swap prefetch
could be helping with -- if it preemptively faults the swap back in,
then the file-backed stuff can be faulted back more quickly, just by
the virtue of not needing to seek back and forth to swap for its
stuff. Hadn't thought of that.

That also implies that people running with swap files rather than swap
partitions will see less of an issue. I should dig out my old compact
flash card and try putting swap on that for a week.

 In that case, swap layout and swap i/o block size are secondary.

[PATCH 2/4] Char: cyclades, make the isr code readable

2007-07-29 Thread Jiri Slaby
cyclades, make the isr code readable

due to large indent the code was wrapped and unreadable. Create 3 function
instead of one and reorder the code, so it is readable now.

 OK by me (that's what my original patch did), but it might be worth
 documenting what environmental constraints vsprintf.c is under.  I
 didn't realize it was used by non-kernel code.

Looking for other users I saw that i386 iboot had included a minimal printf
implmentation which could also be a possibility for alpha.
Now the i386 printf does not support 64 bit - but I dunno if this is
a problem for alpha.

Actually I would prefer the local printf solution for alpha to
keep dependencies on the functions in lib/ as one may expect 
them (kernel only - not boot).

 Sending out the code (and early enough, 48 hours /is/ early enough) 
 *is* the normal (and good) way to do exactly the communication you 
 described above, IMHO.

yeah. And note that the time from the ok, this approach might work 
point to releasing CFS was even less than the original ~62 hours of CFS 
development.

I dont typically write code because i'm particularly convinced about 
an idea or because i believe in an idea, i mostly write code to 
_check_ whether an idea is worth advancing or not. Writing code is my 
form of thinking, and releasing patches is my form of telling others 
about my thoughts. I might have guesses about how well something will 
work out in practice (and i'd certainly be a fool to go out coding 
blindly), but surprises happen almost always, both in positive and in 
negative direction, and even with relatively simple patches.

CFS started out as an experiment to simplify the scheduler, to clean up 
the after-effects of a better-desktop-scheduling patch Mike Galbraith 
sent me. Had anyone told me at that time that i'd end up writing a new 
scheduler i'd have laughed at the suggestion and i'd have pointed to the 
large number of pending patches of mine in forms of the -rt tree, the 
syslet/threadlet code and other stuff that needs fixing a lot more 
urgent than the task scheduler.

During that cleanup work did i realize how a policy-modularized 
scheduler would allow the bridging of the seemingly unreconcilable 
friction between the O(1) data structures that things like RT scheduling 
needs and the binary tree that fair share scheduling concepts dictate. 
(most of the complexity in kernel code like the scheduler derives from 
complexity in data structures, so you start writing code by thinking 
about your data structures.)

And the time from the point where i thought ok, this fair-share thing 
behaves pretty well and it certainly looks simpler than the current 
code to the announcement on lkml was more on the order of hours than 
days - much of the 62 hours were spent on ripping out the old code and 
on getting the new design up and running.

There was simply no code in existence before CFS which has proven the 
code simplicity/design virtues of 'fair scheduling' - SD was more of an 
argument _against_ it than for it. I think maybe even Con might have 
been surprised by that simplicity: in his first lkml reaction to CFS he 
also wrote that he finds the CFS code beautiful:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/14/199

and my reply to Con's mail:

  http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/64

still addresses a good number of points raised in this thread i think.

Re: Problems with reading DVD using 2.6.21.5

2007-07-29 Thread Alan Cox
 As remounting fixes the problem, I think it doesn't have to do anything 
 with the IDE driver, right? The device node should always be connected 
 with the physical device, even if unmount. So the problem seems to be 

The IDE driver handles retries, although for IDE the drive itself also
handles them too by default.

 So the question is: What exactly will this ISO 9660 driver do, if 
 there is a read error? Will it mark this failed byte as unreadable 
 and will never try again, or will it try again for at least one ore more 
 times?

It knows nothing about retry - that happens lower down.

With the device tree source you have posted in 2/5, the rapidio node is
a child of the soc bus, and it doesn't have any children of its own.
Therefore it is completely equivalent to _only_ add the soc type
to mpc86xx_of_ids[], as in 

static struct of_device_id mpc86xx_of_ids[] = {
   { .type = soc, },

Even if you intend to add children to the rapidio node in the future,
I'd think it would be more appropriate to have those scanned by
the rapidio bus driver, not by of_platform.

 IFF_UP checks if the _interface_ is up -- the hardware / card could still

Well, that is device/driver dependent and I don't know what's

Dunno if this driver does it. But _if_ it does it, it could cause

 Still there - and still with this strange dependency.

The last time I sent my patch to clean up CONFIG_EMBEDDED6xx and a few
other Kconfig options I still left it intact, but it becomes unnecessary
after that.

I still think that having high-level options like

  * MPC7448HPC2
  * holly
  * linkstation
* PPC_83xx
  * MPC8313_RDB
  * MPC832x_MDS

helps keep the platform selection more structured and readable, but the
dependency on !SMP should probably go into the individual platforms that
are actually broken, if any, not into the high-level option.

  If the problem is reading stuff back in from swap at the *same time*

  that user file system is on the same drive as the swap partition
  (typical on laptops), then interleaving the user file system accesses
  with the swap partition accesses might overwhelm all other performance
  problems, due to the frequent long seeks between the two.

 Ah, so in a normal scenario where a working-set is getting faulted
 back in, we have the swap storage as well as the file-backed stuff
 that needs to be read as well. So even if swap is organized perfectly,
 we're still seeking. Damn.

That is one reason why I try to have swap on a device dedicated just for it. 
It helps keep the system from having to seek all over the drive for data. (I 
remember that this was recommended years ago with Windows - back when you 
could tell Windows where to put the swap file)

 On the other hand, that explains another thing that swap prefetch
 could be helping with -- if it preemptively faults the swap back in,
 then the file-backed stuff can be faulted back more quickly, just by
 the virtue of not needing to seek back and forth to swap for its
 stuff. Hadn't thought of that.

For it to really help swap-prefetch would have to be more aggressive. At the 
moment (if I'm reading the code correctly) the system has to have close to 
zero for it to kick in. A tunable knob controlling how much activity is too 
much for the prefetch to kick in would help with finding a sane default. IMHO 
it should be the one that provides the most benefit with the least hit to 
performance.

 That also implies that people running with swap files rather than swap
 partitions will see less of an issue. I should dig out my old compact
 flash card and try putting swap on that for a week.

Maybe. It all depends on how much seeking is needed to track down the pages in 
the swapfile and such. What would really help make the situation even better 
would be doing the log structured swap + cleaner. The log structured swap + 
cleaner should provide a performance boost by itself - add in the prefetch 
mechanism and the benefits are even more visible.

Another way to improve performance would require making the page replacement 
mechanism more intelligent. There are bounds to what can be done in the 
kernel without negatively impacting performance, but, if I've read the code 
correctly, there might be a better way to decide which pages to evict. One 
way to do this would be to implement some mechanism that allows the system to 
choose a single group of contiguous pages (or, say, a large soft-page) over 
swapping out a single page at a time.

(some form of memory defrag would also be nice, but I can't think of a way to 
do that without massively breaking everything)

snip
  In case Andrew is so bored he read this far -- yes this wake-up sounds
  like user space code, with minimal kernel changes to support any
  particular lower level operation that we can't do already.

 He'd suggested using, uhm, ptrace_peek or somesuch for just such a
 purpose. The second half of the issue is to know when and what to
 target.

The userspace suggestion that was thrown out earlier would have been as 
error-prone and problematic as FUSE. A solution like you suggest would be 
workable - its small and does a task that is best done in userspace (IMHO). 
(IIRC, the original suggestion involved merging maps2 and another patchset 
into mainline and using that, combined with PEEKTEXT to provide for a 
userspace swap daemon. Swap, IMHO, should never be handled outside the 
kernel)

What might be useful is a userspace daemon that tracks memory pressure and 
uses a concise API to trigger various levels of prefetch and/or swap 
aggressiveness.

cpufreq scaling appears not to work on overclocked systems

2007-07-29 Thread Berck E. Nash
This is not new, but exists as far back as 2.6.17.  I haven't reported
it before because I figured that surely someone else had noticed it, but
since it's still unfixed and I cannot find any mention of it on LKML,
here we go.

I'm running a Core2 Duo 1.86GHz overclocked to 2.56GHz.  Everything is
normal with cpufreq scaling disabled.  With cpufreq scaling enabled in
the kernel, using any governor, /proc/cpuinfo indicates a maximum of the
rated frequency rather than the actual frequency.

Here it is under 100% utilization, with userspace governor and powernowd:

At idle it drops down to 1596.000 MHz reported.  At boot the kernel
doest report the correct frequency (2564.907), which agrees with the
bogomips reported by /proc/cpuinfo as well.

I haven't done any benchmarking to try to determine if perhaps freq
scaling works as it should and just the reported frequency is incorrect.

 There was a small pthread test case which was calculating the time to 
 create all the threads and how much time each thread took to start

 another on a DP system with four cores leading to this SD_BALANCE_FORK

would be nice to dig out that testcase i suspect and quantify the

[PATCH 2/2] Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND (updated)

2007-07-29 Thread Rafael J. Wysocki
From: Rafael J. Wysocki [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND representing the ability to enter system sleep states,
such as the ACPI S3 state, and allow the user to choose SUSPEND and HIBERNATION
independently of each other.

Make HOTPLUG_CPU be selected automatically if SUSPEND or HIBERNATION has been
chosen and the kernel is intended for SMP systems.

Also, introduce CONFIG_PM_SLEEP which is automatically selected if
CONFIG_SUSPEND or CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set and use it to select the code
needed for both suspend and hibernation.

The top-level power management headers and the ACPI code related to suspend and
hibernation are modified to use the new definitions (the changes in
drivers/acpi/sleep/main.c are, mostly, moving code to reduce the number of
ifdefs).  Still, there are many other files in which CONFIG_PM can be replaced
with CONFIG_PM_SLEEP or even with CONFIG_SUSPEND, but they can be updated in
the future.

It has not. Concerns that were raised (by specifically Nick Piggin) weren't 
being addressed.


I may have missed them, but what I saw from him weren't specific issues, 
but instead a nebulous 'something better may come along later'



 forget the nightly cron jobs for the moment. think of this scenerio. you
 have your memory fairly full with apps that you have open (including
 firefox with many tabs), you receive a spreadsheet you need to look at, so
 you fire up openoffice to look at it. then you exit openoffice and try
 to go back to firefox (after a pause while you walk to the printer to
 get the printout of the spreadsheet)


And swinging a dead rat from its tail facing east-wards while reciting 
Documentation/CodingStyle.


Okay, very very sorry, that was particularly childish, but that walking to 
the printer is ofcourse completely constructed and this _is_ something to 
take into account.


yes it was contrived for simplicity.

the same effect would happen if instead of going back to firefox the user 
instead went to their e-mail software and read some mail. doing so should 
still make the machine idle enough to let prefetch kick in.


Swap-prefetch wants to be free, which (also again) it is 
doing a good job at it seems, but this also means that it waits for the VM to 
be _very_ idle before it does anything and as such, we cannot just forget the 
nightly scenario and pretend it's about something else entirely. As long as 
the machine's being used, swap-prefetch doesn't kick in.


how long does the machine need to be idle? if someone spends 30 seconds 
reading an e-mail that's an incredibly long time for the system and I 
would think it should be enough to let the prefetch kick in.



  -- 3: no serious consideration of possible alternatives
 
  Tweaking existing use-oce logic is one I've heard but if we consider 
  the i/dcache issue dead, I believe that one is as well. Going to 
  userspace is another one. Largest theoretical potential. I myself am 
  extremely sceptical about the Linux userland, and largely equate it 
  with smallest _practical_ potential -- but that might just be me.
 
  A larger swap granularity, possible even a self-training 
  granularity. Up to now, seeks only get costlier and costlier with 
  respect to reads with every generation of disk (flash would largely 
  overcome it though) and doing more in one read/write _greatly_ 
  improves throughput, maybe up to the point that swap-prefetch is no 
  longer very useful. I myself don't know about the tradeoffs 
  involved.


 larger swap granularity may help, but waiting for the user to need the
 ram and have to wait for it to be read back in is always going to be
 worse for the user then pre-populating the free memory (for the case
 where the pre-population is right, for other cases it's the same). so
 I see this as a red herring


I saw Chris Snook make a good post here and am going to defer this part to 
that discussion:


http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/27/421

But no, it's not a red herring if _practically_ speaking the swapin is fast 
enough once started that people don't actually mind anymore since in that 
case you could simply do without yet more additional VM complexity (and 
kernel daemon).


swapin will always require disk access, and avoiding doing disk access 
while the user is waiting for it by doing it when the system isn't useing 
the disk will always be a win (possibly not as large of a win, but still a 
win) on slow laptop drives where you may only get 20MB/second of reads 
under optimal situations it doesn't take much reading to be noticed by the 
user.



 there are fully legitimate situations where this is useful, the 'papering
 over' effect is not referring to these, it's referring to other possible
 problems in the future.


No, it's not just future. Just look at the various things under discussion 
now such as improved use-once and better swapin.


and these thing do not conflict with prefetch, they compliment it.

improved use-once will avoid pushing things out to swap in the first 
place. this will help during normal workloads so is valuble in any case.


better swapin (I assume you are talking about things like larger swap 
granularity) will also help during normal workloads when you are thrashing 
into swap.


prefetch will help when you have pushed things out to swap and now have 
free memory and a momentarily idle system.

  Also, mind basing it on the (independent) cleanups that Adrian already

 OK, it took more time than I had hoped, but I wanted CONFIG_HIBERNATION and

 The two patches in the next messages implement the idea:
 * replace CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND with CONFIG_HIBERNATION
 * introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND that selects CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, if necessary,
   and make it possible to choose suspend and hibernation independently of each
   other.

Unfortunately, the patches that I have posted are against 2.6.23-rc1 with the
suspend and hibernation patchset applied
(http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.23-rc1/patches/) .

Sorry for that.

The corresponding patches on top of the current -git are in the next two
messages.

They do the following:
* replace CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND with CONFIG_HIBERNATION
* introduce CONFIG_SUSPEND that selects CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, if necessary,
  and make it possible to choose suspend and hibernation independently of each
  other
* update the top-level PM-related headers and the ACPI code related to suspend

 Sure.  Please see the updated patch I've just sent. :-)

So are you guys using:

standby = idle state, ~0.5 seconds
suspend = sleep to ram, ~10 seconds
hibernate = sleep to disk, ~30 seconds

If so - you rock. This is the common nomenclature I've been pushing for
a few months now in GNOME, KDE and general userspace. I've written up a
spec here:

Re: Reading a bad sector does not report failure as 'read error' but hangs PC with 'Machine Check Exception'

2007-07-29 Thread Hendrik .
 hangs. If I try it after a reboot with 'mcelog --k8
 --ascii' or whatever parameter, there is no output
at
 You could type error back in from the email ?

Ok I copied it into the tool, it gives me:

CPU 0 4 northbridge TSC b7d4a144d0 
  Northbridge ECC error
  ECC syndrome = 0
STATUS 0 MCGSTATUS 4

This is a bit strange because I repeatedly tested the
RAM yesterday and it gives no problems. And even more
interesting: the error occurs at a reproducible
moment: when reading the bad sector from the Seagate
harddisk. And with an older kernel I was able to just
copy all stuff from the drive using dd_rescue... I do
not have ECC RAM in my PC by the way.

  Isn't it strange to say that the controller does
  something bad if there is just a bad sector on the
  drive that is reported and handled correctly in an
  older kernel 
 Not really. Its very strange it gives an MCE at all
 but this is a known
 failure path (and should be a fixed known failure
 path) for the Nvidia SATA.

So how to proceed in tackling this problem now? Is
there anything I can do to (help you guys ;)) fix it?
At this moment it unfortunately does not look to me as
a fixed failure path...

I know Con personally and I completely identify with his circumstance. This

Again, the choices that have been currently made with CFS basically locks

   more

 over there might be constraint on how you can change things (GPU 
 memory clock might need to follow a given ratio). So you definitely
 need knowledge in the user space program to handle this.
  
   sure you can, just enumerate all the options the driver writer wants 
   to

offer as options. yes this could be a lengthy list, so what?
  
 
  My point was that your interface by trying to fit square pegs into round 
  hole
  will fail to expose all subtility of each device which might in the end 
  bring

  to wrong power management decision. So i believe we can't sum up
  power management to list of mode whose attribute are power consumption

 capacity.


 it's possible (which is part of the reason I started the thread), but so
 far there hasn't been anything identified that is a really bad fit.


Tell me how i do this in your model:
GPU/VRAM memory clock change power consumption of the card and
the power consumption is often not a trivial function of both of this 
parameters

(i even here simplify the problem by omitting pipeline shutdown). So how with
two different separate mode list (one for GPU speed another one for VRAM 
speed)

can you provide consumption information while this consumption depends on the
others settings. Then if you give as a solution to make only one list you end 
up

with a more bigger list than previously needed (nrGPUmodes * nrVRAMmodes)
do you expect the user to go through a lengthy list to find what he wants ?
(remember that we will have to add pipeline power off, pll tweaking or many
others way of saving power on such card).


yes I expect that it would be a large list in some conditions. but one 
purpose of this API is to make these options able to be discovered by 
software. right now nothing could be done at all without driver specific 
knowledge. even a lengthy list can be better then that.


presenting the list to the user directly is a last resort, only for 
experimentation or when nothing else wants to deal with devices of that 
type.


with a description field (which I didn't include initially, but seems 
obviously needed now) it should be fairly easy to create descriptions that 
let the software see that there are multiple factors involved.



So by choosing this power consumption as a unit of measure you end up
in non trivial case. There is also the question of overclocking


if the driver supports overclocking then list it in the modes (nothing 
says that % capacity couldn't go over 100% for example)


, and other points already identified where unfortunately a global 
design such as your proposal does not seems to fit properly: local power 
decision (ethernet, wifi card, ... can power down them self is they are 
doing nothings but the place where you can know this is the driver)


if they power themselves down with no notice to the system they should 
power themselves back up with no need for the rest of the system to tell 
them either. so this ca either be ignored or presented as a mode between 
off and on that enables this behavior.



, there is also the child/parent relation, how to
estimate power usage (on some configuration one device consumption can
be marginal toward all others things while on other this same device can be
the most power hungry device)... I see all this as bad fit.


ahh, here we see a disconnect. I was not intending for the power field to 
be that exact. there are just too many variables. for example: even for a 
cpu, the power used isn't exactly tied to the clock speed and voltage, the 
mix of commands that the cpu is running will affect the power it eats, 
sometimes by a significant amount. it was intended to be an ordering 
factor and approximate the power used so that things could make a 
peroformance/power tradeoff with a good chance of makeing a reasonable 
choice.


it's not intended for 'make this laptop use 24w of power instead of 25w of 
power'


  And there is no way to design an abstraction given that all hw we will 
  have
  to deal with are too much different and do not follow any standard 
  things

  (beside ACPI there is other way to save power brightness, gpu/memory
  clock, pll, ...) so i don't see how one might give a common view of 
  things
  which are fundamentally different in how they affect consumption (same 
  end

  result with many different paths leading to it).

 so you are saying that the power management software must know the details
 of each and every driver, and if you add a new driver you must change the
 power management software

found out which patches fix the DMA build issues.


You have any known-good kernel?

Boot back into this kernel for bisecting and compiling the kernels for
bisecting there.



As I said, bisecting does not work if you can't build the kernel because 
of un-defined symbols spanning most of the revisions you are interested 
in.


I have isolated the revisions that do not build so I should be able to 
cerry pick a commit/commits that fixes the build issues. Once done, I will 
be able to investigate the original issue.


If it were practical to do a build test on all supported platforms before 
submitting patches then this would not be so much of an issue but ...

the problem is: the person who SETS these needs to know

that's what the description is for. this info can be
provided by the driver as part of the list_modes()
function.


That's what /sys/class/backlight/ is for :-).


yes it is, and each type of device is growing it's own, incompatible, 
interfaces for controlling things like this. I was aiming to do two 
things.


1. head this off and try and get a more common api

2. simplify the confusion that there is with multiple functions needing to 
be implemented during the suspend/resume cycle by chaning them from 
independant suspend-only functions to being just part of the device 
settings



as someone who wrote (part of) a power policy manager;
sorry but you
take away information I need, and in addition the
different API's are
absolutely no big deal.


assuming that nobody else chimes in to disagree with you
I'll accept your judgement and drop the issue.


Just for the record, I agree with Arjan here.


oh well. sorry to take up everyone's time.

Not only.  This also includes standby.
   
   Whatever it includes - please tell it to the user in the prompt.
   
   Technical issues are important, but it's often forgotten how many 
   problems people run into because the description of a kconfig option 
   could have been better.
  
  Sure.  Please see the updated patch I've just sent. :-)
 
 So are you guys using:
 
 standby = idle state, ~0.5 seconds
 suspend = sleep to ram, ~10 seconds
 hibernate = sleep to disk, ~30 seconds

Something like this, but suspend is not reserved as a name of specific state.

The second state is usually referred to as suspend to RAM or STR and is
denoted by mem in /sys/power/state, if implemented.  Moreover, standby and
mem are both entered using the same code path, so they may generally be
referred to as suspend states.

The times aren't strictly defined for mem and standby, too.  The general
rule is that the times for mem are greater then for standby and the power
drawn in mem is smaller than the power drawn in standby, but the exact
values will always depend on the platform.  Apart from this, if the platform
supports only one suspend state, it decides if that's mem or standby.

On ACPI systems standby and mem correspond to the S1 and S3 sleep states,
respectively.

Greetings,
Rafael

Re: Reading a bad sector does not report failure as 'read error' but hangs PC with 'Machine Check Exception'

2007-07-29 Thread Hendrik .
Ok, I did actually not copy the coreret code in the
mcelog, leaving me some errors about the Northbridge.
If I do it again it gives me something else. I made 2
digital photo's of 2 lockups when it happened and this
is the result of the tool, the TSC is different in
both errors, the rest is the same:


CPU 0 4 northbridge TSC b7d4a144d0 
  Northbridge Watchdog error
   bit57 = processor context corrupt
   bit61 = error uncorrected
  bus error 'generic participation, request timed out
  generic error mem transaction
  generic access, level generic'
STATUS b2070f0f MCGSTATUS 4
This is not a software problem!

CPU 0 4 northbridge TSC c4dd3a549f 
  Northbridge Watchdog error
   bit57 = processor context corrupt
   bit61 = error uncorrected
  bus error 'generic participation, request timed out
  generic error mem transaction
  generic access, level generic'
STATUS b2070f0f MCGSTATUS 4
This is not a software problem!


It's a bit strange but if I copy the results from my
first post I get the Northbridge error, perhaps
because there is an 'enter' between the first line
with the 'bank 4' and the 'b2070f0f' line. The
mcelog tool handles this different from the error in 1
line.

Hendrik

[PATCH] Remove fs.h from mm.h

2007-07-29 Thread Alexey Dobriyan
0) Remove fs.h from mm.h. For this,
1) Uninline vma_wants_writenotify(). It's pretty huge anyway.
2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

As result, on x86_64 allyesconfig, fs.h dependencies cut down from 3929 files
rebuilt down to 3444 (-12.3%).

Cross-compile tested without regressions on my two usual configs and (sigh):

   Hi,
   
   I have just tried 2.6.23-rc1 on my Acer Aspire 1350.
   
   On boot I get the following error as the uhci_hcd module is loaded:

  Did it work okay with older kernels?  What does /proc/interrupts say in

No significant differences.  :-(

Well, about all I can suggest is bisection.  And don't assume that this 
problem was caused by a change to the USB stack.  It could be a change 
in the interrupt-handling core or a change to the driver for one of the 
other devices sharing the IRQ.

It might even be caused by a change in the order the modules are 
loaded, which has nothing to do with the kernel directly.  In fact, it 
might be worth checking this possibility first.  For example, it's 
clear that 2.6.22 loaded ehci-hcd before uhci-hcd whereas 2.6.23-rc1 
did the reverse.  And yenta vs. uhci-hcd is different.

No, if you want to do this, at least use a function pointer and leave
this as the default implementation. The dreamcast presumably only needs
this magic write anyways, rather than the SR.BL trick.

Hi Marcel,

Marcel Holtmann wrote:
 Commit 22ad42033b7d2b3d7928fba9f89d1c7f8a3c9581 did not completely fix all 
 the possible NULL dereferences. Besides hci_uart_close(), we also need to 
 make sure that hdev is valid before calling hci_{unregister,free}_dev().
 
 I don't see any issue. Without HCI_UART_PROTO_SET, the hdev will never
 be registered. So no need to protect it twice.

Correct me if I am wrong. HCI_UART_PROTO_SET bit is only set if 
hci_uart_tty_ioctl()
is called with HCIUARTSETPROTO. Is it possible for the HCI device to be 
registered
and then unregistered without setting the HCI_UART_PROTO_SET bit in hdev-flags?

Thanks,
Eugene

Obviously I havent had time to work on the port in some time now - I am

If I get time to work on it in future, I'll let you all know.

I'd suggest people here take a look at the code. It's not what Ingo was 
saying, and it's not what the code is set up to do. He's just stating that 
the way he split up the files, it's actually easier from a patching 
standpoint to just create a new file to include instead of 
kernel/sched_fair.c.

But quite frankly, I've seen a lot of totally stupid flamage, and very 
little actual sense in this discussion. People probably didn't even look 
at the patches. Did you?

For example, how hard is it for people to just admit that CFS actually 
does better than SD on a number of things? Including very much on the 
desktop. 

Ingo posted numbers. Look at those numbers, and then I would suggest some 
people could seriously consider just shutting up. I've seen too many 
idiotic people who claim that Con got treated unfairly, without those 
people admitting that maybe I had a point when I said that we have had a 
scheduler maintainer for years that actually knows what he's doing.

And no, it has never been about desktop vs servers, or similar 
claptrap. It's been about improving the scheduler.

 be executed with root privileges.

 It was my understanding that apport already did this.
 I haven't looked at apport yet, but are you talking about the userspace 
 portion of
 apport or the kernel changes in the Ubuntu kernel?
 
 Similarly to Neil's patches, the Ubuntu kernel calls the userspace
 helper as root, too. Apport drops privileges to the target process as
 soon as possible (there are a few things it needs to do before, like
 opening an fd to the crash file in /var/crash/ if that is only
 writeable by root).

Just sharing some thoughts. Wouldn't it be more logical to drop the privileges 
first,
then call the userspace helper program? I know that this will limit tools like 
apport
to be able to read and/or write files that are only writable by root, but there 
ought
to be a better way to do this? What if the program piped is not a legitimate 
program?

Also, maybe it is good to make this portion of the code optional too, so that 
if no
one is using this ispipe feature, we just turn it off.

My bad, it was me who  misread that (I didn't react to the name, I was 
thinking people were talking about maintaining SD that way).

Mea culpa.

Re: [PATCH 0/2] Introduce CONFIG_HIBERNATION and CONFIG_SUSPEND (updated)

2007-07-29 Thread Linus Torvalds


Ok, I took this, and modified Len's patch to re-introduce ACPI_SLEEP on 
top of it (I took the easy way out, and just made PM_SLEEP imply 
ACPI_SLEEP, which should make everything come out right. I could have 
dropped ACPI_SLEEP entirely in favour of PM_SLEEP, but that would have 
implied changing more of Len's patch than I was really comfy with).

Len, Rafael, please do check that the end result looks ok. 

I suspect ACPI could now take the PM_SLEEP/SUSPEND/HIBERNATE details into 
account, and that some of the code is not necessary when HIBERNATE is not 
selected, for example, but I'm not at all sure that it's worth it being 
very fine-grained.

Hi Gabriel,

Thanks for the report!  It's probably better to fix this properly
rather than hack it as I did for NET.

Linus, please apply:

Gabriel C reports lguest doesn't compile with CONFIG_BLOCK=n.  Fix
this by introducing a config var for the block device, which depends
on LGUEST  BLOCK.  Do the same for the net driver, rather then
depending gratuitously on CONFIG_NET.

I /think/ the default y would also automatically become m if any of the
