Sadly, I goofed in this syscall-tuning patch:
ChangeSet 1.1966.1.40 2005/01/22 13:31:05 davidm@hpl.hp.com
[IA64] Improve ia64_leave_syscall() for McKinley-type cores.
Optimize ia64_leave_syscall() a bit better for McKinley-type cores.
The patch looks big, but that's mostly due to renaming r16/r17 to r2/r3.
Good for a 13 cycle improvement.
The problem is that the size of the physical stacked registers was
loaded into the wrong register (r3 instead of r17). Since r17 by
coincidence always had the value 1, this had the effect of turning
rse_clear_invalid into a no-op. That poses the risk of leaking kernel
state back to user-land and is hence not acceptable.
The fix below is simple, but unfortunately it costs us about 28 cycles
in syscall overhead. ;-(
Unfortunately, there isn't much we can do about that since those
registers have to be cleared one way or another.

This fixes a couple of bugs in the zx1/sx1000 sba_iommu. These are
all pretty low likelihood of hitting. The first problem is a simple off
by one, deep in the sba_alloc_range() error path. Surrounding that was
a lock ordering problem that could have potentially deadlocked with the
order the locks are grabbed in sba_unmap_single(). I moved the resource
locking into sba_search_bitmap() to prevent this. Finally, there's a
potential race between unmapping pdir entries and marking incoming DMA
pages clean. If you see any oddities, please let me know, but I've
tested it pretty thoroughly here. Tony, please apply. Thanks,
BTW, many of the options in this driver not on by default are becoming
more and more broken. I'll be working on some patches to clean them
out, but I wanted to get this bug fix out first.

This patch introduces using the quicklists for pgd, pmd, and pte levels
by combining the alloc and free functions into a common set of routines.
This greatly simplifies the reading of this header file.
This patch is simple but necessary for large numa configurations.
It simply ensures that only pages from the local node are added to a
cpus quicklist. This prevents the trapping of pages on a remote nodes
quicklist by starting a process, touching a large number of pages to
fill pmd and pte entries, migrating to another node, and then unmapping
or exiting. With those conditions, the pages get trapped and if the
machine has more than 100 nodes of the same size, the calculation of
the pgtable high water mark will be larger than any single node so page
table cache flushing will never occur.
I ran lmbench lat_proc fork and lat_proc exec on a zx1 with and without
this patch and did not notice any change.
On an sn2 machine, there was a slight improvement which is possibly
due to pages from other nodes trapped on the test node before starting
the run. I did not investigate further.
This patch shrinks the quicklist based upon free memory on the node
instead of the high/low water marks. I have written it to enable
preemption periodically and recalculate the amount to shrink every time
we have freed enough pages that the quicklist size should have grown.
I rescan the nodes zones each pass because other processess may be
draining node memory at the same time as we are adding.

This patch adds the necessary "hook" to allow SGI/SN
machines to perform a system power off upon a
'init 0', 'halt -p', 'poweroff' or 'shutdown -h'.
The "hook" is to set the pm_power_off callback
to ia64_sn_power_down(). pm_power_off is checked
in machine_power_off()/do_poweroff() and, if set, is executed.
ia64_sn_power_down() is a function already present (but not
used currently) in the sn kernel.
ia64_sn_power_down() makes a SAL call to execute the
power off.

In the event a raw socket is created for sending purposes only, the creator
never bothers to check the socket's receive queue. But we continue to
add skbs to its queue until it fills up.
Unfortunately, if ip_conntrack is loaded on the box, each skb we add to the
queue potentially holds a reference to a conntrack. If the user attempts
to unload ip_conntrack, we will spin around forever since the queued skbs
are pinned.

Detect user space by the unwind frame with predicate PRED_USER_STACK
set, instead of a user space IP. Tighten up the last ditch check for
running off the top of the kernel stack.
Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current

Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so
gdb can get the user space registers.

Change the value of the SAL call number for a new SAL request. The
initial implementation in the PROM did not match what the OS expected.
Since the OS can run on PROMs that do not implement the new call,
changing the call number avoids the issue. New PROMs will implement
the new call number. (This avoids problems with the 4.05 PROM).

The SELinux hooks invoke ipv6_skip_exthdr() with an incorrect
length final argument. However, the length argument turns out
to be superfluous.
I was just reading ipv6_skip_exthdr and it occured to me that we can
get rid of len altogether. The only place where len is used is to
check whether the skb has two bytes for ipv6_opt_hdr. This check
is done by skb_header_pointer/skb_copy_bits anyway.
Now it might appear that we've made the code slower by deferring
the check to skb_copy_bits. However, this check should not trigger
in the common case so this is OK.
