kernel-2.6.18-128.1.10.el5.src.rpm

From: Luming Yu <luyu@redhat.com>

Subject: [ia64] multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction support
Message-id: 48CA9D1C.2040906@redhat.com
O-Subject: Re: [RHEL 5.3 PATCH 1/2] bz 451593: Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction support
Bugzilla: 451593

bz 451593

Description of problem:

According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g
instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to
serialize
ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might
have
scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge
TLB
   in parallel.

   The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
   may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).

PALO specification can be found at:
http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf

   spinaphore implementation by Matthew Wilcox.

Upstream status:
   2046b94e7c4fce92eb8165c2c36c6478f4927178

Testing status:
Boot fine on tiger4 and Cold fusion, and nothing unusual found.
I don't have box with PALO table to support this feature to test this
feature right now.

Management status:
None flag set

Please review,  test and ACK.

Update the patch series against -105 kernel. And add one more patch to
set max_purges=1 by default regardless what PAL returns to make sure no
regressions.
Please revew and ACKs.
NOTE: to apply, please keep it in this order:
1. [RHEL 5.3 PATCH 1/2] bz 451593: Multiple    outstanding    ptc.g
instruction support
2. [RHEL 5.3 PATCH 2/2]  bz 451593: Kernel parameter for max number
of concurrent global TLB purges
3. [RHEL 5.3 PATCH 1/1] bz 451593: set max_purges=1 by default
regardless what PAL returns

Thanks,
Luming
