Therefore\nthis set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking\nnotifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for \"raw\" notifiers (which is\nreally just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are\nused for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for\nregistration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are\nexplained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in\nkernel/sys.c.\n\nWith atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain\nlinks will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by\nentries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no\nguarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The\nidea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and\nblocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to\nhandle these things in their own way.)\n\nThere are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For\natomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in\na process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a\ncallout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister\nentries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code\nhad to be changed to avoid it.)\n\nSince atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use\nspinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost\nentirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much\nless frequent that calling a chain.\n\nHere is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None\nof them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.\n\n ATOMIC CHAINS\n -------------\narch/i386/kernel/traps.c:\t\ti386die_chain\narch/ia64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tia64die_chain\narch/powerpc/kernel/traps.c:\t\tpowerpc_die_chain\narch/sparc64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tsparc64die_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c:\t\tdie_chain\ndrivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c:\txaction_notifier_list\nkernel/panic.c:\t\t\t\tpanic_notifier_list\nkernel/profile.c:\t\t\ttask_free_notifier\nnet/bluetooth/hci_core.c:\t\thci_notifier\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_chain\nnet/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_core.c:\tip_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/ipv6/addrconf.c:\t\t\tinet6addr_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_chain\nnet/netfilter/nf_conntrack_core.c:\tnf_conntrack_expect_chain\nnet/netlink/af_netlink.c:\t\tnetlink_chain\n\n BLOCKING CHAINS\n ---------------\narch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/reconfig.c:\tpSeries_reconfig_chain\narch/s390/kernel/process.c:\t\tidle_chain\narch/x86_64/kernel/process.c\t\tidle_notifier\ndrivers/base/memory.c:\t\t\tmemory_chain\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_policy_notifier_list\ndrivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c\t\tcpufreq_transition_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/adb.c:\t\tadb_client_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/via-pmu68k.c\t\tsleep_notifier_list\ndrivers/macintosh/windfarm_core.c\twf_client_list\ndrivers/usb/core/notify.c\t\tusb_notifier_list\ndrivers/video/fbmem.c\t\t\tfb_notifier_list\nkernel/cpu.c\t\t\t\tcpu_chain\nkernel/module.c\t\t\t\tmodule_notify_list\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\tmunmap_notifier\nkernel/profile.c\t\t\ttask_exit_notifier\nkernel/sys.c\t\t\t\treboot_notifier_list\nnet/core/dev.c\t\t\t\tnetdev_chain\nnet/decnet/dn_dev.c:\t\t\tdnaddr_chain\nnet/ipv4/devinet.c:\t\t\tinetaddr_chain\n\nIt\u0027s possible that some of these classifications are wrong.

We believe this new\nimplementation is faster and simpler than the vma-based robust futex solutions\npresented before, and we\u0027d like this patchset to be adopted in the upstream\nkernel. This is version 1 of the patchset.\n\n Background\n ----------\n\nWhat are robust futexes? To answer that, we first need to understand what\nfutexes are: normal futexes are special types of locks that in the\nnoncontended case can be acquired/released from userspace without having to\nenter the kernel.\n\nA futex is in essence a user-space address, e.g. a 32-bit lock variable\nfield. If userspace notices contention (the lock is already owned and someone\nelse wants to grab it too) then the lock is marked with a value that says\n\"there\u0027s a waiter pending\", and the sys_futex(FUTEX_WAIT) syscall is used to\nwait for the other guy to release it. The kernel creates a \u0027futex queue\u0027\ninternally, so that it can later on match up the waiter with the waker -\nwithout them having to know about each other. When the owner thread releases\nthe futex, it notices (via the variable value) that there were waiter(s)\npending, and does the sys_futex(FUTEX_WAKE) syscall to wake them up. Once all\nwaiters have taken and released the lock, the futex is again back to\n\u0027uncontended\u0027 state, and there\u0027s no in-kernel state associated with it. The\nkernel completely forgets that there ever was a futex at that address. This\nmethod makes futexes very lightweight and scalable.\n\n\"Robustness\" is about dealing with crashes while holding a lock: if a process\nexits prematurely while holding a pthread_mutex_t lock that is also shared\nwith some other process (e.g. yum segfaults while holding a pthread_mutex_t,\nor yum is kill -9-ed), then waiters for that lock need to be notified that the\nlast owner of the lock exited in some irregular way.\n\nTo solve such types of problems, \"robust mutex\" userspace APIs were created:\npthread_mutex_lock() returns an error value if the owner exits prematurely -\nand the new owner can decide whether the data protected by the lock can be\nrecovered safely.\n\nThere is a big conceptual problem with futex based mutexes though: it is the\nkernel that destroys the owner task (e.g. due to a SEGFAULT), but the kernel\ncannot help with the cleanup: if there is no \u0027futex queue\u0027 (and in most cases\nthere is none, futexes being fast lightweight locks) then the kernel has no\ninformation to clean up after the held lock! Userspace has no chance to clean\nup after the lock either - userspace is the one that crashes, so it has no\nopportunity to clean up. Catch-22.\n\nIn practice, when e.g. yum is kill -9-ed (or segfaults), a system reboot is\nneeded to release that futex based lock. This is one of the leading\nbugreports against yum.\n\nTo solve this problem, \u0027Robust Futex\u0027 patches were created and presented on\nlkml: the one written by Todd Kneisel and David Singleton is the most advanced\nat the moment. These patches all tried to extend the futex abstraction by\nregistering futex-based locks in the kernel - and thus give the kernel a\nchance to clean up.\n\nE.g. in David Singleton\u0027s robust-futex-6.patch, there are 3 new syscall\nvariants to sys_futex(): FUTEX_REGISTER, FUTEX_DEREGISTER and FUTEX_RECOVER.\nThe kernel attaches such robust futexes to vmas (via\nvma-\u003evm_file-\u003ef_mapping-\u003erobust_head), and at do_exit() time, all vmas are\nsearched to see whether they have a robust_head set.\n\nLots of work went into the vma-based robust-futex patch, and recently it has\nimproved significantly, but unfortunately it still has two fundamental\nproblems left:\n\n - they have quite complex locking and race scenarios. The vma-based\n patches had been pending for years, but they are still not completely\n reliable.\n\n - they have to scan _every_ vma at sys_exit() time, per thread!\n\nThe second disadvantage is a real killer: pthread_exit() takes around 1\nmicrosecond on Linux, but with thousands (or tens of thousands) of vmas every\npthread_exit() takes a millisecond or more, also totally destroying the CPU\u0027s\nL1 and L2 caches!\n\nThis is very much noticeable even for normal process sys_exit_group() calls:\nthe kernel has to do the vma scanning unconditionally! (this is because the\nkernel has no knowledge about how many robust futexes there are to be cleaned\nup, because a robust futex might have been registered in another task, and the\nfutex variable might have been simply mmap()-ed into this process\u0027s address\nspace).\n\nThis huge overhead forced the creation of CONFIG_FUTEX_ROBUST, but worse than\nthat: the overhead makes robust futexes impractical for any type of generic\nLinux distribution.\n\nSo it became clear to us, something had to be done. Last week, when Thomas\nGleixner tried to fix up the vma-based robust futex patch in the -rt tree, he\nfound a handful of new races and we were talking about it and were analyzing\nthe situation. At that point a fundamentally different solution occured to\nme. This patchset (written in the past couple of days) implements that new\nsolution. Be warned though - the patchset does things we normally dont do in\nLinux, so some might find the approach disturbing. Parental advice\nrecommended ;-)\n\n New approach to robust futexes\n ------------------------------\n\nAt the heart of this new approach there is a per-thread private list of robust\nlocks that userspace is holding (maintained by glibc) - which userspace list\nis registered with the kernel via a new syscall [this registration happens at\nmost once per thread lifetime]. At do_exit() time, the kernel checks this\nuser-space list: are there any robust futex locks to be cleaned up?\n\nIn the common case, at do_exit() time, there is no list registered, so the\ncost of robust futexes is just a simple current-\u003erobust_list !\u003d NULL\ncomparison. If the thread has registered a list, then normally the list is\nempty. If the thread/process crashed or terminated in some incorrect way then\nthe list might be non-empty: in this case the kernel carefully walks the list\n[not trusting it], and marks all locks that are owned by this thread with the\nFUTEX_OWNER_DEAD bit, and wakes up one waiter (if any).\n\nThe list is guaranteed to be private and per-thread, so it\u0027s lockless. There\nis one race possible though: since adding to and removing from the list is\ndone after the futex is acquired by glibc, there is a few instructions window\nfor the thread (or process) to die there, leaving the futex hung. To protect\nagainst this possibility, userspace (glibc) also maintains a simple per-thread\n\u0027list_op_pending\u0027 field, to allow the kernel to clean up if the thread dies\nafter acquiring the lock, but just before it could have added itself to the\nlist. Glibc sets this list_op_pending field before it tries to acquire the\nfutex, and clears it after the list-add (or list-remove) has finished.\n\nThat\u0027s all that is needed - all the rest of robust-futex cleanup is done in\nuserspace [just like with the previous patches].\n\nUlrich Drepper has implemented the necessary glibc support for this new\nmechanism, which fully enables robust mutexes. (Ulrich plans to commit these\nchanges to glibc-HEAD later today.)\n\nKey differences of this userspace-list based approach, compared to the vma\nbased method:\n\n - it\u0027s much, much faster: at thread exit time, there\u0027s no need to loop\n over every vma (!), which the VM-based method has to do. Only a very\n simple \u0027is the list empty\u0027 op is done.\n\n - no VM changes are needed - \u0027struct address_space\u0027 is left alone.\n\n - no registration of individual locks is needed: robust mutexes dont need\n any extra per-lock syscalls. Robust mutexes thus become a very lightweight\n primitive - so they dont force the application designer to do a hard choice\n between performance and robustness - robust mutexes are just as fast.\n\n - no per-lock kernel allocation happens.\n\n - no resource limits are needed.\n\n - no kernel-space recovery call (FUTEX_RECOVER) is needed.\n\n - the implementation and the locking is \"obvious\", and there are no\n interactions with the VM.\n\n Performance\n -----------\n\nI have benchmarked the time needed for the kernel to process a list of 1\nmillion (!) held locks, using the new method [on a 2GHz CPU]:\n\n - with FUTEX_WAIT set [contended mutex]: 130 msecs\n - without FUTEX_WAIT set [uncontended mutex]: 30 msecs\n\nI have also measured an approach where glibc does the lock notification [which\nit currently does for !pshared robust mutexes], and that took 256 msecs -\nclearly slower, due to the 1 million FUTEX_WAKE syscalls userspace had to do.\n\n(1 million held locks are unheard of - we expect at most a handful of locks to\nbe held at a time. Nevertheless it\u0027s nice to know that this approach scales\nnicely.)\n\n Implementation details\n ----------------------\n\nThe patch adds two new syscalls: one to register the userspace list, and one\nto query the registered list pointer:\n\n asmlinkage long\n sys_set_robust_list(struct robust_list_head __user *head,\n size_t len);\n\n asmlinkage long\n sys_get_robust_list(int pid, struct robust_list_head __user **head_ptr,\n size_t __user *len_ptr);\n\nList registration is very fast: the pointer is simply stored in\ncurrent-\u003erobust_list. [Note that in the future, if robust futexes become\nwidespread, we could extend sys_clone() to register a robust-list head for new\nthreads, without the need of another syscall.]\n\nSo there is virtually zero overhead for tasks not using robust futexes, and\neven for robust futex users, there is only one extra syscall per thread\nlifetime, and the cleanup operation, if it happens, is fast and\nstraightforward. The kernel doesnt have any internal distinction between\nrobust and normal futexes.\n\nIf a futex is found to be held at exit time, the kernel sets the highest bit\nof the futex word:\n\n\t#define FUTEX_OWNER_DIED 0x40000000\n\nand wakes up the next futex waiter (if any). User-space does the rest of\nthe cleanup.\n\nOtherwise, robust futexes are acquired by glibc by putting the TID into the\nfutex field atomically. Waiters set the FUTEX_WAITERS bit:\n\n\t#define FUTEX_WAITERS 0x80000000\n\nand the remaining bits are for the TID.\n\n Testing, architecture support\n -----------------------------\n\nI\u0027ve tested the new syscalls on x86 and x86_64, and have made sure the parsing\nof the userspace list is robust [ ;-) ] even if the list is deliberately\ncorrupted.\n\ni386 and x86_64 syscalls are wired up at the moment, and Ulrich has tested the\nnew glibc code (on x86_64 and i386), and it works for his robust-mutex\ntestcases.\n\nAll other architectures should build just fine too - but they wont have the\nnew syscalls yet.\n\nArchitectures need to implement the new futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inuser() inline\nfunction before writing up the syscalls (that function returns -ENOSYS right\nnow).\n\nThis patch:\n\nAdd placeholder futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inuser() implementations to every\narchitecture that supports futexes. It returns -ENOSYS.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Arjan van de Ven \u003carjan@infradead.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Ulrich Drepper \u003cdrepper@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "dc8ecb43701a78bd3c38e7fed1d1c76840579450", "tree": "4e9056ec8a86fc321384da15ba7a05bfda32e034", "parents": [ "ad658b385e6308066f9084a7ea01305b223cd3a0" ], "author": { "name": "KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki", "email": "kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com", "time": "Mon Mar 27 01:15:34 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Mon Mar 27 08:44:44 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] unify pfn_to_page: x86_64 pfn_to_page\n\nx86_64 can use generic funcs.\nFor DISCONTIGMEM, CONFIG_OUT_OF_LINE_PFN_TO_PAGE is selected.\n\nSigned-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki \u003ckamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: Andi Kleen \u003cak@muc.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "1e9f28fa1eb9773bf65bae08288c6a0a38eef4a7", "tree": "ccfa4927ebc7a8f663f9ac9e7789a713a33253ff", "parents": [ "77e4bfbcf071f795b54862455dce8902b3fc29c2" ], "author": { "name": "Siddha, Suresh B", "email": "suresh.b.siddha@intel.com", "time": "Mon Mar 27 01:15:22 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Mon Mar 27 08:44:43 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core\n\nAdd a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches\nbetween cores.

To solve this:\n\n- I\u0027ve added a \u0027domain distance\u0027 function, which is used to cache\n measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means\n that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT\n distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks\n the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows\n whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot\n time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption\n is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain\n distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems,\n and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems.\n\n [ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this\n assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with\n the cpu_distance() function. Adding a -\u003emigration_distance factor to\n the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first\n see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ]\n\nAnother problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring\nthe cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable\nup. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with\nL3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often\nhave different \u0027effective cache sizes\u0027. To solve this problem:\n\n- Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and\n sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the \u0027effective migration\n cost\u0027 between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of\n cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which\n occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the\n \u0027effective cache size\u0027. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for\n the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs.\n\n This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two\n CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost\n will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share\n any caches.\n\n(The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source\nfor details.)\n\nFurthermore i\u0027ve added various boot-time options to override/tune\nmigration behavior.\n\nFirstly, there\u0027s a blanket override for autodetection:\n\n\tmigration_cost\u003d1000,2000,3000\n\nwill override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values.\n\nSecondly, there\u0027s a global factor that can be used to increase (or\ndecrease) the autodetected values:\n\n\tmigration_factor\u003d120\n\nwill increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to\ntune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is\ncache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying\nmigration_factor\u003d0.\n\nI\u0027ve tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3\nP3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good:\n\nDual Celeron (128K L2 cache):\n\n ---------------------\n migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz):\n ---------------------\n [00] [01]\n [00]: - 1.7(1)\n [01]: 1.7(1) -\n ---------------------\n cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008)\n ---------------------\n\nHere the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even\nthough caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs.\n\nDual HT P4 (512K L2 cache):\n\n ---------------------\n migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz):\n ---------------------\n [00] [01] [02] [03]\n [00]: - 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1)\n [01]: 0.4(1) - 0.4(1) 0.0(0)\n [02]: 0.0(0) 0.4(1) - 0.4(1)\n [03]: 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1) -\n ---------------------\n cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514)\n ---------------------\n\nHere it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT\nsiblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory\nsystem makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs.\n\n8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]:\n\n ---------------------\n migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 2097152, cpu: 700 MHz):\n ---------------------\n [00] [01] [02] [03] [04] [05] [06] [07]\n [00]: - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)\n [01]: 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)\n [02]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)\n [03]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)\n [04]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)\n [05]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1) 19.2(1)\n [06]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) - 19.2(1)\n [07]: 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) -\n ---------------------\n cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756)\n ---------------------\n\nThis one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the\nmigration cost is 19 msecs.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ashok Raj \u003cashok.raj@intel.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Ken Chen \u003ckenneth.w.chen@intel.com\u003e\nCc: \u003cwilder@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John Hawkes \u003chawkes@sgi.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "4dc7a0bbeb6882ad665e588e82fabe5bb4645f2f", "tree": "8c034f802157d7f449e76f45086c0e13e0ea4711", "parents": [ "c6b44d10f25e5a93eca5135b686a35775c63546e" ], "author": { "name": "Ingo Molnar", "email": "mingo@elte.hu", "time": "Thu Jan 12 01:05:27 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Thu Jan 12 09:08:49 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] sched: add cacheflush() asm\n\nAdd per-arch sched_cacheflush() which is a write-back cacheflush used by\nthe migration-cost calibration code at bootup time.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nCc: Nick Piggin \u003cnickpiggin@yahoo.com.au\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "11a8e778c46ee76fc46b0a7fa9d455b5a8e3e19f", "tree": "2e6d19e5fbb9d686448868bc087673e696b5b4be", "parents": [ "5f1d189f8a87930d62c507800a8ac20b9a185e41" ], "author": { "name": "Andi Kleen", "email": "ak@suse.de", "time": "Wed Jan 11 22:46:51 2006 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Jan 11 19:05:03 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] x86_64: Some housekeeping in local APIC code\n\nRemove support for obsolete hardware and cleanup.\n\n- Remove checks for non integrated APICs\n- Replace apic_write_around with apic_write.\n- Remove apic_read_around\n- Remove APIC version reads used by old workarounds\n- Remove old workaround for Simics\n- Fix indentation\n\nSigned-off-by: Andi Kleen \u003cak@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "5f1d189f8a87930d62c507800a8ac20b9a185e41", "tree": "f83f756d8481dafe3b8ddba5b741ec6b5cf33e96", "parents": [ "1b2f6304500930ab534a6aa3198bce0c51586206" ], "author": { "name": "Jan Beulich", "email": "jbeulich@novell.com", "time": "Wed Jan 11 22:46:48 2006 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@g5.osdl.org", "time": "Wed Jan 11 19:05:03 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] x86_64: Display meaningful part of filename during BUG()\n\nWhen building in a separate objtree, file names produced by BUG() \u0026 Co. can\nget fairly long; printing only the first 50 characters may thus result in\n(almost) no useful information.
