2012-07-31ARM: 7466/1: disable interrupt before spinning endlesslyShawn Guo
The CPU will endlessly spin at the end of machine_halt and machine_restart calls. However, this will lead to a soft lockup warning after about 20 seconds, if CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR is enabled, as system timer is still alive. Disable interrupt before going to spin endlessly, so that the lockup warning will never be seen.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it.. * tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits) Delete all instances of asm/system.h Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for OpenRISC Split arch_align_stack() out from asm-generic/system.h Split the switch_to() wrapper out of asm-generic/system.h Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h Create asm-generic/barrier.h Make asm-generic/cmpxchg.h #include asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for Xtensa Disintegrate asm/system.h for Unicore32 [based on ver #3, changed by gxt] Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile Disintegrate asm/system.h for Sparc Disintegrate asm/system.h for SH Disintegrate asm/system.h for Score Disintegrate asm/system.h for S390 Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC Disintegrate asm/system.h for PA-RISC Disintegrate asm/system.h for MN10300 ...

2012-03-23coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flagJason Baron
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which can be quite large. There are already a number of filter flags in /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types' of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this case). Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag. The flag is used internally by the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages. However, it is simple enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need for this flag. The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new 'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags: 'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'. The core dump filters continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the region. The qemu code which implements this features is at: http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this patch. I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are dumped. This patch: The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section. However, we can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from arch_vma_name(). Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

2012-01-20ARM: clean up idle handlersNicolas Pitre
Let's factor out the need_resched() check instead of having it duplicated in every pm_idle implementations to avoid inconsistencies (omap2_pm_idle is missing it already). The forceful re-enablement of IRQs after pm_idle has returned can go. The warning certainly doesn't trigger for existing users. To get rid of the pm_idle calling convention oddity, let's introduce arm_pm_idle() allowing for the local_irq_enable() to be factored out from SOC specific implementations. The default pm_idle function becomes a wrapper for arm_pm_idle and it takes care of enabling IRQs closer to where they are initially disabled. And finally move the comment explaining the reason for that turning off of IRQs to a more proper location.

2011-12-12ARM: reset: implement soft_restart for jumping to a physical addressWill Deacon
Tools such as kexec and CPU hotplug require a way to reset the processor and branch to some code in physical space. This requires various bits of jiggery pokery with the caches and MMU which, when it goes wrong, tends to lock up the system. This patch fleshes out the soft_restart implementation so that it branches to the reset code using the identity mapping. This requires us to change to a temporary stack, held within the kernel image as a static array, to avoid conflicting with the new view of memory. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
2011-12-11nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu()Frederic Weisbecker
Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would needlessly process any RCU job. Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

2011-12-11nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stopFrederic Weisbecker
It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after the tick is stopped. To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs: tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu(). If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(). Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly: - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put to sleep. - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken up.

2011-12-11nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logicFrederic Weisbecker
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two places: - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in case the irq changed some internal state that requires this action. There are only few minor differences between both that are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended quiescent state from idle loop entry only. Split this function into: - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU extended quiescent state. - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called). To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed into tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle loop.

This patch implements a workaround for PL310 erratum 769419. On revisions of the PL310 prior to r3p2, the Store Buffer does not automatically drain. This can cause normal, non-cacheable writes to be retained when the memory system is idle, leading to suboptimal I/O performance for drivers using coherent DMA. This patch adds an optional wmb() call to the cpu_idle loop. On systems with an outer cache, this causes an explicit flush of the store buffer.

2010-10-08ARM: 6428/1: add cpu_idle_wait() to support CPUidle on SMP systems.Kevin Hilman

2010-10-02ARM: add a vma entry for the user accessible vector pageNicolas Pitre
The kernel makes the high vector page visible to user space. This page contains (amongst others) small code segments that can be executed in user space. Make this page visible through ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem in order to let gdb perform code parsing needed for proper unwinding. For example, the ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK handler actually has a stack frame -- it returns to a PC value stored on the user's stack. To unwind after a "sleep" system call was interrupted twice, GDB would have to recognize this situation and understand that stack frame layout -- which it currently cannot do. We could fix this by hard-coding addresses in the vector page range into GDB, but that isn't really portable as not all of those addresses are guaranteed to remain stable across kernel releases. And having the gdb process make an exception for this page and get content from its own address space for it looks strange, and it is not future proof either. Being located above PAGE_OFFSET, this vma cannot be deleted by user space code. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org>
2010-09-08ARM: 6357/1: hw-breakpoint: add new ptrace requests for hw-breakpoint ↵Will Deacon
interaction For debuggers to take advantage of the hw-breakpoint framework in the kernel, it is necessary to expose the API calls via a ptrace interface. This patch exposes the hardware breakpoints framework as a collection of virtual registers, accesible using PTRACE_SETHBPREGS and PTRACE_GETHBPREGS requests. The breakpoints are stored in the debug_info struct of the running thread. Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: S.

2010-07-27ARM: call machine_shutdown() from machine_halt(), etcRussell King
x86 calls machine_shutdown() from the various machine_*() calls which take the machine down ready for halting, restarting, etc, and uses this to bring the system safely to a point where those actions can be performed. Such actions are stopping the secondary CPUs. So, change the ARM implementation of these to reflect what x86 does. This solves kexec problems on ARM SMP platforms, where the secondary CPUs were left running across the kexec call. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2010-07-27ARM: Factor out common code from cpu_proc_fin()Russell King
All implementations of cpu_proc_fin() start by disabling interrupts and then flush caches. Rather than have every processors proc_fin() implementation do this, move it out into generic code - and move the cache flush past setup_mm_for_reboot() (so it can benefit from having caches still enabled.) This allows cpu_proc_fin() to become independent of the L1/L2 cache types, and eventually move the L2 cache flushing into the L2 support code.

We essentially treat userspace as an entirely separate environment which isn't relevant to lockdep (lockdep doesn't monitor userspace.) We don't tell lockdep that IRQs will be enabled in that environment. Instead, when creating kernel threads (which is a rare event compared to entering/leaving userspace) we have to update the lockdep state. Do this by starting threads with IRQs disabled, and in the kthread helper, tell lockdep that IRQs are enabled, and enable them. This provides lockdep with a consistent view of the current IRQ state in kernel space. This also revert portions of 0d928b0b616d1c5c5fe76019a87cba171ca91633 which didn't fix the problem.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.
