      genirq: Allow the irqchip state of an IRQ to be save/restored · 1b7047ed
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      There is a number of cases where a kernel subsystem may want to
      introspect the state of an interrupt at the irqchip level:
      
      - When a peripheral is shared between virtual machines,
        its interrupt state becomes part of the guest's state,
        and must be switched accordingly. KVM on arm/arm64 requires
        this for its guest-visible timer
      - Some GPIO controllers seem to require peeking into the
        interrupt controller they are connected to to report
        their internal state
      
      This seem to be a pattern that is common enough for the core code
      to try and support this without too many horrible hacks. Introduce
      a pair of accessors (irq_get_irqchip_state/irq_set_irqchip_state)
      to retrieve the bits that can be of interest to another subsystem:
      pending, active, and masked.
      
      - irq_get_irqchip_state returns the state of the interrupt according
        to a parameter set to IRQCHIP_STATE_PENDING, IRQCHIP_STATE_ACTIVE,
        IRQCHIP_STATE_MASKED or IRQCHIP_STATE_LINE_LEVEL.
      - irq_set_irqchip_state similarly sets the state of the interrupt.

      genirq: Remove the deprecated 'IRQF_DISABLED' request_irq() flag entirely · d8bf368d
      Valentin Rothberg 提交于
      The IRQF_DISABLED flag is a NOOP and has been scheduled for removal
      since Linux v2.6.36 by commit 6932bf37 ("genirq: Remove
      IRQF_DISABLED from core code").
      
      According to commit e58aa3d2 ("genirq: Run irq handlers with
      interrupts disabled"), running IRQ handlers with interrupts
      enabled can cause stack overflows when the interrupt line of the
      issuing device is still active.
      
      This patch ends the grace period for IRQF_DISABLED (i.e.,
      SA_INTERRUPT in older versions of Linux) and removes the
      definition and all remaining usages of this flag.
      
      There's still a few non-functional references left in the kernel
      source:
      
        - The bigger hunk in Documentation/scsi/ncr53c8xx.txt is removed entirely
          as IRQF_DISABLED is gone now; the usage in older kernel versions
          (including the old SA_INTERRUPT flag) should be discouraged.  The
          trouble of using IRQF_SHARED is a general problem and not specific to
          any driver.
      
        - I left the reference in Documentation/PCI/MSI-HOWTO.txt untouched since
          it has already been removed in linux-next.
      
        - All remaining references are changelogs that I suggest to keep.

      genirq / PM: Add flag for shared NO_SUSPEND interrupt lines · 17f48034
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      It currently is required that all users of NO_SUSPEND interrupt
      lines pass the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag when requesting the IRQ or the
      WARN_ON_ONCE() in irq_pm_install_action() will trigger.  That is
      done to warn about situations in which unprepared interrupt handlers
      may be run unnecessarily for suspended devices and may attempt to
      access those devices by mistake.  However, it may cause drivers
      that have no technical reasons for using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND to set
      that flag just because they happen to share the interrupt line
      with something like a timer.
      
      Moreover, the generic handling of wakeup interrupts introduced by
      commit 9ce7a258 (genirq: Simplify wakeup mechanism) only works
      for IRQs without any NO_SUSPEND users, so the drivers of wakeup
      devices needing to use shared NO_SUSPEND interrupt lines for
      signaling system wakeup generally have to detect wakeup in their
      interrupt handlers.  Thus if they happen to share an interrupt line
      with a NO_SUSPEND user, they also need to request that their
      interrupt handlers be run after suspend_device_irqs().
      
      In both cases the reason for using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is not because
      the driver in question has a genuine need to run its interrupt
      handler after suspend_device_irqs(), but because it happens to
      share the line with some other NO_SUSPEND user.  Otherwise, the
      driver would do without IRQF_NO_SUSPEND just fine.
      
      To make it possible to specify that condition explicitly, introduce
      a new IRQ action handler flag for shared IRQs, IRQF_COND_SUSPEND,
      that, when set, will indicate to the IRQ core that the interrupt
      user is generally fine with suspending the IRQ, but it also can
      tolerate handler invocations after suspend_device_irqs() and, in
      particular, it is capable of detecting system wakeup and triggering
      it as appropriate from its interrupt handler.
      
      That will allow us to work around a problem with a shared timer
      interrupt line on at91 platforms.

      genirq / PM: better describe IRQF_NO_SUSPEND semantics · 737eb030
      Mark Rutland 提交于
      The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag is intended to be used for interrupts required
      to be enabled during the suspend-resume cycle. This mostly consists of
      IPIs and timer interrupts, potentially including chained irqchip
      interrupts if these are necessary to handle timers or IPIs. If an
      interrupt does not fall into one of the aforementioned categories,
      requesting it with IRQF_NO_SUSPEND is likely incorrect.
      
      Using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND does not guarantee that the interrupt can wake the
      system from a suspended state. For an interrupt to be able to trigger a
      wakeup, it may be necessary to program various components of the system.
      In these cases it is necessary to use {enable,disabled}_irq_wake.
      
      Unfortunately, several drivers assume that IRQF_NO_SUSPEND ensures that
      an IRQ can wake up the system, and the documentation can be read
      ambiguously w.r.t. this property.
      
      This patch updates the documentation regarding IRQF_NO_SUSPEND to make
      this caveat explicit, hopefully making future misuse rarer. Cleanup of
      existing misuse will occur as part of later patch series.

      genirq: Provide disable_hardirq() · 02cea395
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      For things like netpoll there is a need to disable an interrupt from
      atomic context. Currently netpoll uses disable_irq() which will
      sleep-wait on threaded handlers and thus forced_irqthreads breaks
      things.
      
      Provide disable_hardirq(), which uses synchronize_hardirq() to only wait
      for active hardirq handlers; also change synchronize_hardirq() to
      return the status of threaded handlers.
      
      This will allow one to try-disable an interrupt from atomic context, or
      in case of request_threaded_irq() to only wait for the hardirq part.

      genirq: Simplify wakeup mechanism · 9ce7a258
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Currently we suspend wakeup interrupts by lazy disabling them and
      check later whether the interrupt has fired, but that's not sufficient
      for suspend to idle as there is no way to check that once we
      transitioned into the CPU idle state.
      
      So we change the mechanism in the following way:
      
      1) Leave the wakeup interrupts enabled across suspend
      
      2) Add a check to irq_may_run() which is called at the beginning of
         each flow handler whether the interrupt is an armed wakeup source.
      
         This check is basically free as it just extends the existing check
         for IRQD_IRQ_INPROGRESS. So no new conditional in the hot path.
      
         If the IRQD_WAKEUP_ARMED flag is set, then the interrupt is
         disabled, marked as pending/suspended and the pm core is notified
         about the wakeup event.

      genirq: Provide irq_force_affinity fallback for non-SMP · 4c88d7f9
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Patch 01f8fa4f "genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts" added
      an irq_force_affinity() function, and 30ccf03b "clocksource: Exynos_mct:
      Use irq_force_affinity() in cpu bringup" subsequently uses it. However, the
      driver can be used with CONFIG_SMP disabled, but the function declaration
      is only available for CONFIG_SMP, leading to this build error:
      
      drivers/clocksource/exynos_mct.c:431:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'irq_force_affinity' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
         irq_force_affinity(mct_irqs[MCT_L0_IRQ + cpu], cpumask_of(cpu));
      
      This patch introduces a dummy helper function for the non-SMP case
      that always returns success, to get rid of the build error.
      Since the patches causing the problem are marked for stable backports,
      this one should be as well.

      genirq: Provide irq_wake_thread() · a92444c6
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      In course of the sdhci/sdio discussion with Russell about killing the
      sdio kthread hackery we discovered the need to be able to wake an
      interrupt thread from software.
      
      The rationale for this is, that sdio hardware can lack proper
      interrupt support for certain features. So the driver needs to poll
      the status registers, but at the same time it needs to be woken up by
      an hardware interrupt.
      
      To be able to get rid of the home brewn kthread construct of sdio we
      need a way to wake an irq thread independent of an actual hardware
      interrupt.
      
      Provide an irq_wake_thread() function which wakes up the thread which
      is associated to a given dev_id. This allows sdio to invoke the irq
      thread from the hardware irq handler via the IRQ_WAKE_THREAD return
      value and provides a possibility to wake it via a timer for the
      polling scenarios. That allows to simplify the sdio logic
      significantly.

      time: RCU permitted to stop idle entry via softirq · 803b0eba
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      The can_stop_idle_tick() function complains if a softirq vector is
      raised too late in the idle-entry process, presumably in order to
      prevent dangling softirq invocations from being delayed across the
      full idle period, which might be indefinitely long -- and if softirq
      was asserted any later than the call to this function, such a delay
      might well happen.
      
      However, RCU needs to be able to use softirq to stop idle entry in
      order to be able to drain RCU callbacks from the current CPU, which in
      turn enables faster entry into dyntick-idle mode, which in turn reduces
      power consumption.  Because RCU takes this action at a well-defined
      point in the idle-entry path, it is safe for RCU to take this approach.
      
      This commit therefore silences the error message that is sometimes
      produced when the going-idle CPU suddenly finds that it has an RCU_SOFTIRQ
      to process.  The error message will continue to be issued for other
      softirq vectors.

      genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add() · 4d1d61a6
      Oleg Nesterov 提交于
      exit_irq_thread() and task->irq_thread are needed to handle the unexpected
      (and unlikely) exit of irq-thread.
      
      We can use task_work instead and make this all private to
      kernel/irq/manage.c, cleanup plus micro-optimization.
      
      1. rename exit_irq_thread() to irq_thread_dtor(), make it
         static, and move it up before irq_thread().
      
      2. change irq_thread() to do task_work_add(irq_thread_dtor)
         at the start and task_work_cancel() before return.
      
         tracehook_notify_resume() can never play with kthreads,
         only do_exit()->exit_task_work() can call the callback
         and this is what we want.
      
      3. remove task_struct->irq_thread and the special hook
         in do_exit().

      genirq: percpu: allow interrupt type to be set at enable time · 1e7c5fd2
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      As request_percpu_irq() doesn't allow for a percpu interrupt to have
      its type configured (it is generally impossible to configure it on all
      CPUs at once), add a 'type' argument to enable_percpu_irq().
      
      This allows some low-level, board specific init code to be switched to
      a generic API.

      genirq: Add support for per-cpu dev_id interrupts · 31d9d9b6
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      The ARM GIC interrupt controller offers per CPU interrupts (PPIs),
      which are usually used to connect local timers to each core. Each CPU
      has its own private interface to the GIC, and only sees the PPIs that
      are directly connect to it.
      
      While these timers are separate devices and have a separate interrupt
      line to a core, they all use the same IRQ number.
      
      For these devices, request_irq() is not the right API as it assumes
      that an IRQ number is visible by a number of CPUs (through the
      affinity setting), but makes it very awkward to express that an IRQ
      number can be handled by all CPUs, and yet be a different interrupt
      line on each CPU, requiring a different dev_id cookie to be passed
      back to the handler.
      
      The *_percpu_irq() functions is designed to overcome these
      limitations, by providing a per-cpu dev_id vector:
      
      int request_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, irq_handler_t handler,
      		   const char *devname, void __percpu *percpu_dev_id);
      void free_percpu_irq(unsigned int, void __percpu *);
      int setup_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *new);
      void remove_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq, struct irqaction *act);
      void enable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
      void disable_percpu_irq(unsigned int irq);
      
      The API has a number of limitations:
      - no interrupt sharing
      - no threading
      - common handler across all the CPUs
      
      Once the interrupt is requested using setup_percpu_irq() or
      request_percpu_irq(), it must be enabled by each core that wishes its
      local interrupt to be delivered.
      
      Based on an initial patch by Thomas Gleixner.

      rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression · 09223371
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      Commit a26ac245(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
      introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
      performance by about 40%.
      
      The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
      high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
      64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
      which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread.  A trace showed that most of
      the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
      but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
      This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
      a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
      processing to be done.
      
      Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
      contention within the scheduler.  Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
      out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
      means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling.  (Yes,
      perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
      going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
      this issue in the meantime.  And "the meantime" might well be forever.)
      
      This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
      for core RCU work.  RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
      so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
      common case.  This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
      skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

      genirq: Provide forced interrupt threading · 8d32a307
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Add a commandline parameter "threadirqs" which forces all interrupts except
      those marked IRQF_NO_THREAD to run threaded. That's mostly a debug option to
      allow retrieving better debug data from crashing interrupt handlers. If
      "threadirqs" is not enabled on the kernel command line, then there is no
      impact in the interrupt hotpath.
      
      Architecture code needs to select CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING after
      marking the interrupts which cant be threaded IRQF_NO_THREAD. All
      interrupts which have IRQF_TIMER set are implict marked
      IRQF_NO_THREAD. Also all PER_CPU interrupts are excluded.
      
      Forced threading hard interrupts also forces all soft interrupt
      handling into thread context.
      
      When enabled it might slow down things a bit, but for debugging problems in
      interrupt code it's a reasonable penalty as it does not immediately
      crash and burn the machine when an interrupt handler is buggy.

      genirq: Prepare the handling of shared oneshot interrupts · b5faba21
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
      flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
      have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
      when there are no more threads in flight.
      
      Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
      main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
      based solution would need to keep track of various things like
      crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
      disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
      tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
      to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
      over the place.
