• Kernel Core changes

  • Lightweight userspace priority inheritance (PI) support for futexes, a critical feature for RT-ish apps. Currently (without PI), if a high-prio and a low-prio task shares a lock, even if all critical sections are coded carefully to be deterministic (i.e. all critical sections are short in duration and only execute a limited number of instructions), the kernel cannot guarantee any deterministic execution of the high-prio task: any medium-priority task could preempt the low-prio task while it holds the shared lock and executes the critical section, and could delay it indefinitely. User-space PI helps achieving/improving determinism for user-space applications. To see why it has been implemented (PI concepts have been rejected in the past in Linux), design and implementation details, links to the glibc patch needed to usse this feature and more, see the commit link [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e2970f2fb6950183a34e8545faa093eb49d186e1 (commit)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b29739f902ee76a05493fb7d2303490fc75364f4 (commit)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=23f78d4a03c53cbd75d87a795378ea540aa08c86 (commit)], [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=a6537be9324c67b41f6d98f5a60a1bd5a8e02861 (commit)]

  • Cpu scheduler: implement smpnice. One of the design principles of the new 2.6 scheduler (aka, "Ingo's O(1) scheduler") was the idea of having a separate run queue of processes for each CPU present on the system, instead of a single run queue for all CPUs, for scalability reasons. Periodically, the scheduler would balance the per-cpu run queues to distribute all the jobs and keep all the CPUs busy. However, priority levels were not taken into account at the time of doing this balance and it was possible recreate scenarios where the kernel was being unfair, specially with unprivileged processes. "SMPnice" is a implementation of a solution for this problem [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2dd73a4f09beacadde827a032cf15fd8b1fa3d48 (commit)]

  • Cpu scheduler: A new mc/smt power savings sched policy.

  • radix-tree: direct data: The ability to have height 0 radix trees (a direct pointer to the data item rather than going through a full node->slot) quietly disappeared with old-2.6-bkcvs commit ffee171812d51652f9ba284302d9e5c5cc14bdfd.

• zoned vm counters

  • basic ZVC (zoned vm counter) implementation: Per zone counter infrastructure The counters that we currently have for the VM are split per processor. The processor however has not much to do with the zone these pages belong to. We cannot tell f.e. how many ZONE_DMA pages are dirty. So we are blind to potentially inbalances in the usage of memory in various zones. F.e. in a NUMA system we cannot tell how many pages are dirty on a particular node. If we knew then we could put measures into the VM to balance the use of memory between different zones and different nodes in a NUMA system. For example it would be possible to limit the dirty pages per node so that fast local memory is kept available even if a process is dirtying huge amounts of pages. Another example is zone reclaim. We do not know how many unmapped pages exist per zone. So we just have to try to reclaim. If it is not working then we pause and try again later. It would be better if we knew when it makes sense to reclaim unmapped pages from a zone. This patchset allows the determination of the number of unmapped pages per zone. We can remove the zone reclaim interval with the counters introduced here [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2244b95a7bcf8d24196f8a3a44187ba5dfff754c (commit)]

    • Randomize the i386 vDSO by moving it into a vma. There's a new CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO (default=y) option, which provides support for older glibcs that still rely on a prelinked high-mapped VDSO.

Turning it off is also recommended for security reasons: attackers cannot use the predictable high-mapped VDSO page as syscall trampoline anymore. There is a new vdso=[0|1] boot option as well, and a runtime /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled sysctl switch, that allows the VDSO to be turned on/off [http://kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=e6e5494cb23d1933735ee47cc674ffe1c4afed6f (commit)]
