The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some distro packages that are rarely used in practice. None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as 'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2 reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have dropped support years ago. While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64 could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case. There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64 but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64 be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead of keeping it supported is real. So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely. This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5], which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow once the kernel support is removed.

The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work conservation too much. Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs. This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an eye out. - Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms. - workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue can be constrained early during boot. - Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if system-wide workqueues are flushed. * tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq: (31 commits) workqueue: fix data race with the pwq->stats[] increment workqueue: Rename rescuer kworker workqueue: Make default affinity_scope dynamically updatable workqueue: Add "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to documentation workqueue: Implement non-strict affinity scope for unbound workqueues workqueue: Add workqueue_attrs->__pod_cpumask workqueue: Factor out need_more_worker() check and worker wake-up workqueue: Factor out work to worker assignment and collision handling workqueue: Add multiple affinity scopes and interface to select them workqueue: Modularize wq_pod_type initialization workqueue: Add tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py which prints out workqueue configuration workqueue: Generalize unbound CPU pods workqueue: Factor out clearing of workqueue-only attrs fields workqueue: Factor out actual cpumask calculation to reduce subtlety in wq_update_pod() workqueue: Initialize unbound CPU pods later in the boot workqueue: Move wq_pod_init() below workqueue_init() workqueue: Rename NUMA related names to use pod instead workqueue: Rename workqueue_attrs->no_numa to ->ordered workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues workqueue: Call wq_update_unbound_numa() on all CPUs in NUMA node on CPU hotplug ... 2023-08-31T03:05:42Z Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2023-08-31T03:05:42Z urn:sha1:cd99b9eb4b702563c5ac7d26b632a628f5a832a5 Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Documentation work keeps chugging along; this includes: - Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated HTML documentation.
