      [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions · 394e3902
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
      the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this
      is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
      
      This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
      few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
      test to use the preferred helper macros.

      [PATCH] FRV: Use virtual interrupt disablement · 28baebae
      David Howells 提交于
      Make the FRV arch use virtual interrupt disablement because accesses to the
      processor status register (PSR) are relatively slow and because we will
      soon have the need to deal with multiple interrupt controls at the same
      time (separate h/w and inter-core interrupts).
      
      The way this is done is to dedicate one of the four integer condition code
      registers (ICC2) to maintaining a virtual interrupt disablement state
      whilst inside the kernel.  This uses the ICC2.Z flag (Zero) to indicate
      whether the interrupts are virtually disabled and the ICC2.C flag (Carry)
      to indicate whether the interrupts are physically disabled.
      
      ICC2.Z is set to indicate interrupts are virtually disabled.  ICC2.C is set
      to indicate interrupts are physically enabled.  Under normal running
      conditions Z==0 and C==1.
      
      Disabling interrupts with local_irq_disable() doesn't then actually
      physically disable interrupts - it merely sets ICC2.Z to 1.  Should an
      interrupt then happen, the exception prologue will note ICC2.Z is set and
      branch out of line using one instruction (an unlikely BEQ).  Here it will
      physically disable interrupts and clear ICC2.C.
      
      When it comes time to enable interrupts (local_irq_enable()), this simply
      clears the ICC2.Z flag and invokes a trap #2 if both Z and C flags are
      clear (the HI integer condition).  This can be done with the TIHI
      conditional trap instruction.
      
      The trap then physically reenables interrupts and sets ICC2.C again.  Upon
      returning the interrupt will be taken as interrupts will then be enabled.
      Note that whilst processing the trap, the whole exceptions system is
      disabled, and so an interrupt can't happen till it returns.
      
      If no pending interrupt had happened, ICC2.C would still be set, the HI
      condition would not be fulfilled, and no trap will happen.
      
      Saving interrupts (local_irq_save) is simply a matter of pulling the ICC2.Z
      flag out of the CCR register, shifting it down and masking it off.  This
      gives a result of 0 if interrupts were enabled and 1 if they weren't.
      
      Restoring interrupts (local_irq_restore) is then a matter of taking the
      saved value mentioned previously and XOR'ing it against 1.  If it was one,
      the result will be zero, and if it was zero the result will be non-zero.
      This result is then used to affect the ICC2.Z flag directly (it is a
      condition code flag after all).  An XOR instruction does not affect the
      Carry flag, and so that bit of state is unchanged.  The two flags can then
      be sampled to see if they're both zero using the trap (TIHI) as for the
      unconditional reenablement (local_irq_enable).
      
      This patch also:
      
       (1) Modifies the debugging stub (break.S) to handle single-stepping crossing
           into the trap #2 handler and into virtually disabled interrupts.
      
       (2) Removes superseded fixup pointers from the second instructions in the trap
           tables (there's no a separate fixup table for this).
      
       (3) Declares the trap #3 vector for use in .org directives in the trap table.
      
       (4) Moves irq_enter() and irq_exit() in do_IRQ() to avoid problems with
           virtual interrupt handling, and removes the duplicate code that has now
           been folded into irq_exit() (softirq and preemption handling).
      
       (5) Tells the compiler in the arch Makefile that ICC2 is now reserved.
      
       (6) Documents the in-kernel ABI, including the virtual interrupts.
      
       (7) Renames the old irq management functions to different names.

           way around in atomic.h, and also to get the asm constraints correct.
      
       (4) Moves copy_to/from_user_page() to asm/cacheflush.h to be consistent with
           other archs.

      [PATCH] hrtimer: round up relative start time on low-res arches · 06027bdd
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      CONFIG_TIME_LOW_RES is a temporary way for architectures to signal that
      they simply return xtime in do_gettimeoffset().  In this corner-case we
      want to round up by resolution when starting a relative timer, to avoid
      short timeouts.  This will go away with the GTOD framework.

      [PATCH] Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FRV · a411aee9
      David Howells 提交于
      Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled:
      
              [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc
              [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend
      
      It does the following:
      
       (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for FRV.
      
       (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.
      
       (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved
           in current->saved_sigmask.
      
       (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.
      
       (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
           rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.
      
       (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping
           intrinsically.
      
       (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
           -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
            kernel.
      
      Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place:
      
       (8) Make do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being
           ignored; force_sig() takes care of this.
      
       (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer
           necessary.
      
      This patch depends on the FRV signalling patches as well as the
      sys_rt_sigsuspend patch.

      [PATCH] FRV: Make the FRV arch work again · 8080f231
      David Howells 提交于
      The attached patch implements a bunch of small changes to the FRV arch to
      make it work again.
      
      It deals with the following problems:
      
       (1) SEM_DEBUG should be SEMAPHORE_DEBUG.
      
       (2) The argument list to pcibios_penalize_isa_irq() has changed.
      
       (3) CONFIG_HIGHMEM can't be used directly in #if as it may not be defined.
      
       (4) page->private is no longer directly accessible.
      
       (5) linux/hardirq.h assumes asm/hardirq.h will include linux/irq.h
      
       (6) The IDE MMIO access functions are given pointers, not integers, and so
           get type casting errors.
      
       (7) __pa() is passed an explicit u64 type in drivers/char/mem.c, but that
           can't be cast directly to a pointer on a 32-bit platform.
      
       (8) SEMAPHORE_DEBUG should not be contingent on WAITQUEUE_DEBUG as that no
           longer exists.
      
       (9) PREEMPT_ACTIVE is too low a value.

      [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks · 5bfb5d69
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
      
      Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
      How did it ever work before?
      
      Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
      
      We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
      need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
      
      After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
      into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
      previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
      
      By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
      fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.
