Prima 3.2.6.119
AIO: Don't plug the I/O queue in do_io_submit() Asynchronous I/O latency to a solid-state disk greatly increased between the 2.6.32 and 3.0 kernels. By removing the plug from do_io_submit(), we observed a 34% improvement in the I/O latency.

Unfortunately, at this level, we don't know if the request is to
a rotating disk or not.

epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu

Date	Tue, 1 Oct 2013 17:08:10 +0000 (GMT)

Optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL such that it does not require the 'epmutex' by
converting the file->f_ep_links list into an rcu one. In this way, we can
traverse the epoll network on the add path in parallel with deletes. Since
deletes can't create loops or worse wakeup paths, this is safe.

This patch in combination with the patch "epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex'
for simple topologies", shows a dramatic performance improvement in
scalability for SPECjbb.

epoll: Do not take global 'epmutex' for simple topologies

Date	Tue, 1 Oct 2013 17:08:14 +0000 (GMT)

When calling EPOLL_CTL_ADD for an epoll file descriptor that is attached
directly to a wakeup source, we do not need to take the global 'epmutex',
unless the epoll file descriptor is nested. The purpose of taking
the 'epmutex' on add is to prevent complex topologies such as loops and
deep wakeup paths from forming in parallel through multiple EPOLL_CTL_ADD
operations. However, for the simple case of an epoll file descriptor
attached directly to a wakeup source (with no nesting), we do not need
to hold the 'epmutex'.

This patch along with 'epoll: optimize EPOLL_CTL_DEL using rcu' improves
scalability on larger systems. Quoting Nathan Zimmer's mail on SPECjbb
performance:

"
On the 16 socket run the performance went from 35k jOPS to 125k jOPS.
In addition the benchmark when from scaling well on 10 sockets to scaling well
on just over 40 sockets.

...

Currently the benchmark stops scaling at around 40-44 sockets but it seems like
I found a second unrelated bottleneck.

sched/rt: Remove redundant nr_cpus_allowed test

Date	Fri, 4 Oct 2013 14:24:53 -0500

From: Shawn Bohrer <sbohrer@rgmadvisors.com>

In 76854c7e8f3f4172fef091e78d88b3b751463ac6 "sched: Use
rt.nr_cpus_allowed to recover select_task_rq() cycles" an optimization
was added to select_task_rq_rt() that immediately returns when
p->nr_cpus_allowed == 1 at the beginning of the function.  This makes
the latter p->nr_cpus_allowed > 1 check redundant and can be removed.

Implement kexec-hardboot "Allows hard booting (i.e., with a full hardware reboot) to a kernel previously loaded in memory by kexec. This works around the problem of soft-booted kernel hangs due to improper device shutdown and/or reinitialization." More info in /arch/arm/Kconfig.

Vojtech Bocek <vbocek@gmail.com>:
  I've ported it to flo, it is based of my grouper port, which is based of
  Asus TF201 patches ported by Jens Andersen <jens.andersen@gmail.com>.

  I've moved atags copying from guest to the host kernel, which means there
  is no need to patch the guest kernel, assuming the --mem-min in kexec call
  is within the first 256MB of System RAM, otherwise it will take a long time
  to load. I've also fixed /proc/atags entry, which would give the kexec-tools
  userspace binary only the first 1024 bytes of atags,
  see arch/arm/kernel/atags.c for more details.

  Other than that, memory-reservation code for the hardboot page and
  some assembler to do the watchdog reset on MSM chip are new for this device.
