As a follow up to https://reviews.llvm.org/D20217 I would like to use lto/thinlto to refine when a symbol is marked as local/preemptable. I'm not very familiar with lto though so would appreciate some guidance about how best to go about this. Regards Sean Fertile

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> get_balloon_scratch_page() disables preemption so we cannot call alloc_page() in between get/put_balloon_scratch_page(). Shuffle bits around in decrease_reservation() to avoid this.

...quence counts are "lock" constructs where you need to make sure that writers are serialized. In turn, this means that we mustn't run two try_fill_recv concurrently. Which of course we don't. We do run try_fill_recv sometimes from a softirq napi context, and sometimes from a fully preemptible context, but the later always runs with napi disabled. However, when it comes to the seqcount, lockdep is trying to enforce the rule that the same lock isn't accessed from preemptible and softirq context - it doesn't know about napi being enabled/disabled. This causes a false-positive warn...

Now that the kmap atomic index is stored in task struct provide a preemptible variant. On context switch the maps of an outgoing task are removed and the map of the incoming task are restored. That's obviously slow, but highmem is slow anyway. The kmap_local.*() functions can be invoked from both preemptible and atomic context. kmap local sections disable migration to k...

Hi, when creating a bigger (> 50 GB) HVM guest with maxmem > memory we get softlockups from time to time. kernel: [ 802.084335] BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 22s! [xend:31351] I tracked this down to the call of xc_domain_set_pod_target() and further p2m_pod_set_mem_target(). Unfortunately I can this check only with xen-4.2.2 as I don''t have a machine with enough memory for

Several options do come to mind like, also to prevent timing problems like: - HPET Timer Support (CONFIG_HPET_TIMER) - Provide RTC interrupt (CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC) - Preemptible Kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT) (even though the info in kernel describes this for desktop) - Message Signaled Interrupts (MSI and MSI-X) (CONFIG_PCI_MSI) - Enhanced Real Time Clock Support (CONFIG_RTC) - HPET - High Precision Event Timer (CONFIG_HPET) For general Astrisk with ISDN operation: Is teleph...
