[PATCH] i386: move phys_proc_id and cpu_core_id to cpuinfo_x86

2006-06-28T00:32:37+00:00

Move the phys_core_id and cpu_core_id to cpuinfo_x86 structure.  Similar
patch for x86_64 is already accepted by Andi earlier this week.

[PATCH] i386: reliable stack trace support (i386)

2006-06-26T17:48:17+00:00

These are the i386-specific pieces to enable reliable stack traces. This is
going to be even more useful once CFI annotations get added to he assembly
code, namely to entry.S.

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Emulate CPUID4 on AMD

2006-06-26T17:48:14+00:00

Intel systems report the cache level data from CPUID 4 in sysfs.
Add a CPUID 4 emulation for AMD CPUs to report the same
information for them. This allows programs to read this
information in a uniform way.

The AMD way to report this is less flexible so some assumptions
are hardcoded (e.g. no L3)

[PATCH] arch/i386/kernel/microcode.c: remove the obsolete microcode_ioctl

2006-03-28T17:16:06+00:00

Nowadays, even Debian stable ships a microcode_ctl utility recent enough to no
longer use this ioctl.

[PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core

2006-03-27T16:44:43+00:00

Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
between cores.  Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package.  If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.

On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).

This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches.  On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code.  This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)

Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

task_pt_regs() needs the same offset-by-8 to match copy_thread()
