In most cases, when EH is scheduled, all in-flight commands are
aborted causing EH to kick in immediately. However, in some cases
(especially with PMP), it's unclear which commands are affected by the
error condition and although aborting all in-flight commands work, it
isn't optimal and may cause unnecessary disruption. On the other
hand, waiting for in-flight commands to drain themselves can take up
to 30seconds.
This patch implements EH fast drain to handle such situations. It
gives in-flight commands some time to finish up but doesn't wait for
too long. After EH is scheduled, fast drain timer is started and if
no other completion occurs in ATA_EH_FASTDRAIN_INTERVAL all in-flight
commands are aborted. If any completion occurred in the interval, the
port is given another interval to finish up itself.
Currently ATA_EH_FASTDRAIN_INTERVAL is 3 secs which should be enough
for finishing up most commands.

sata_down_spd_limit() first reads the current SPD from SStatus and
limit the speed to the lower one of one below the current limit or one
below the current SPD in SStatus. SPD may not be accessible or valid
when SPD down is requested making sata_down_spd_limit() fail when it's
most needed.
This patch makes the current SPD cached after each successful reset
and forces GEN I speed (1.5Gbps) if neither of SStatus or the cached
value is valid, so sata_down_spd_limit() is now guaranteed to lower
the speed limit if lower speed is available.

When an NCQ command fails, all commands in flight are aborted and the
offending one is reported using log page 10h. Depending on controller

having a device error due to shared TF status making it hard to

Currently, CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG64 both enables boot-time checking of
the cmpxchg64b feature and enables compilation of the set_64bit() family.
Since the option is dependent on PAE, and since KVM depends on set_64bit(),
this effectively disables KVM on i386 nopae.
Simplify by removing the config option altogether: the boot check is made
dependent on CONFIG_X86_PAE directly, and the set_64bit() family is exposed
without constraints. It is up to users to check for the feature flag (KVM
does not as virtualiation extensions imply its existence).

lguest is a simple hypervisor for Linux on Linux. Unlike kvm it doesn't need
VT/SVM hardware. Unlike Xen it's simply "modprobe and go". Unlike both, it's
5000 lines and self-contained.
Performance is ok, but not great (-30% on kernel compile). But given its
hackability, I expect this to improve, along with the paravirt_ops code which
it supplies a complete example for. There's also a 64-bit version being
worked on and other craziness.
But most of all, lguest is awesome fun! Too much of the kernel is a big ball

which scream "fork me!".

We measure acquisition and contention bouncing.
This is done by recording a cpu stamp in each lock instance.
Contention bouncing requires the cpu stamp to be set on acquisition. Hence we
move __acquired into the generic path.
__acquired is then used to measure acquisition bouncing by comparing the
current cpu with the old stamp before replacing it.
__contended is used to measure contention bouncing (only useful for preemptable
locks)

Introduce the core lock statistics code.
Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.
Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
a too coarse locking scheme.
Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.
1)
lock
2)
... do stuff ..
unlock
3)
The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
hold-time.
The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
for lock instrumentation.
Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:
lock()
lock_acquire()
_lock()
... code protected by lock ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()
We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.
lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
lock_acquired() - completion of the contention
These are then placed the following way:
lock()
lock_acquire()
if (!_try_lock())
lock_contended()
_lock()
lock_acquired()
... do locked stuff ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()
(Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
dependent lock primitive implementations.)
It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:
/proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat
(esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

Use the lockdep infrastructure to track lock contention and other lock
statistics.
It tracks lock contention events, and the first four unique call-sites that
encountered contention.
It also measures lock wait-time and hold-time in nanoseconds. The minimum and
maximum times are tracked, as well as a total (which together with the number
of event can give the avg).
All statistics are done per lock class, per write (exclusive state) and per read
(shared state).
The statistics are collected per-cpu, so that the collection overhead is
minimized via having no global cachemisses.
This new lock statistics feature is independent of the lock dependency checking
traditionally done by lockdep; it just shares the lock tracking code. It is
also possible to enable both and runtime disabled either component - thereby
avoiding the O(n^2) lock chain walks for instance.
This patch:
raw_spinlock_t should not use lockdep (and doesn't) since lockdep itself
relies on it.
