| * x86: cpu_debug: Remove model information to reduce encoding-decodingJaswinder Singh Rajput2009-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove model information, encoding/decoding and reduce bookkeeping. This, besides removing a lot of code and cleaning up the code, also enables these features on many more CPUs that were enumerated before.

| * | x86: fixup numa_node information for AMD CPU northbridge functionsAndreas Herrmann2009-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the numa_node attribute for these PCI devices is 0 (it corresponds to the numa_node for PCI bus 0). This is not a big issue but incorrect. This inconsistency can be fixed by reading the node number from CPU NB function 0.

(reference: http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/ man2/sched_setscheduler.2.html) * From: Steven Rostedt 0 to 98 - maps to RT tasks 99 to 1 (SCHED_RR or SCHED_FIFO) 99 - maps to internal kernel threads that want to be lower than RT tasks but higher than SCHED_OTHER tasks. Although I'm not sure if any kernel thread actually uses this. I'm not even sure how this can be set, because the internal sched_setscheduler function does not allow for it. 100 to 139 - maps nice levels -20 to 19. These are not set via sched_setscheduler, but are set via the nice system call. 140 - reserved for idle tasks.

That can cause long latencies for xtime_lock readers on large SMP systems. The load average calculation is an rough estimate anyway so there is no real need to protect the readers vs. the update. It's not a problem when the avenrun array is updated while a reader copies the values. Instead of iterating over all online CPUs let the scheduler_tick code update the number of active tasks shortly before the avenrun update happens. The avenrun update itself is handled by the CPU which calls do_timer().

This is done by testing for the TIF_MEMDIE thread info flag and should be displayed alongside stack traces to identify tasks that have access to such reserves but are still stuck allocating pages, for instance. It would probably be helpful in other cases as well, so all thread info flags are emitted when showing a task.
