Andrew Morton [interview [1]] released 2.6.9-rc2-mm2 with a number of changes. Added in his release was the kexec-based crashdump code. Kexec [2] is Eric Biederman's patch that allows the kernel to bypass the firmware when rebooting, directly loading the new kernel. Andrew describes the patch that he has recently merged into his -mm tree:
"This is the code which uses kexec to jump into a new mini-kernel when the main kernel crashes. Userspace code in that mini-kernel then dumps the main kernel's memory to disk. These new patches provide the bits and pieces which the mini-kernel needs to be able to get at the main kernel's memory."
Also found in this release is Peter Williams' zaphod-scheduler patch [story [Array]], a Single Priority Array O(1) CPU scheduler. The end goal being to simplify the O(1) scheduler, maximizing system througput while reducing overhead, providing runtime configurables and exposing scheduling statistics. The top of the patch [3] contains a wealth of documentation, beginning, "this scheduler is a modification of the per CPU scheduling components of the O(1) scheduler. It does not modify load balancing code except where it was necessary to accommodate changes to data structures. The active/expired priority arrays of the O(1) scheduler are replaced by a single priority array with a simple O(1) promotion mechanism whose purpose is to prevent starvation."
From: Andrew Morton [4] [email blocked] To: linux-kernel Subject: 2.6.9-rc2-mm2 Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2004 13:12:10 -0700 ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.9-rc2/2.6.9-rc2-mm2/ [5] - Added Bart's bk-ide-dev tree to the -mm external tree lineup. - Added Peter Williams' Single Priority Array (SPA) O(1) CPU Scheduler, aka the "zaphod" cpu scheduler. It has a number of tunables and lots of documentation - see the changelog entry in zaphod-scheduler.patch for details. - This kernel doesn't work on ia64 (instant reboot). But neither does 2.6.9-rc2, nor current Linus -bk. Is it just me? - Added the kexec-based crashdump code. This is the code which uses kexec to jump into a new mini-kernel when the main kernel crashes. Userspace code in that mini-kernel then dumps the main kernel's memory to disk. These new patches provide the bits and pieces which the mini-kernel needs to be able to get at the main kernel's memory. There seem to be no hints as to how to get all this working - that will come. - Found (and fixed) the bug which was causing those ext3-goes-readonly-under-load problems. It was in the new wait/wakeup code.
