sys_timer_create() return -EINVAL if the target thread has PF_EXITING. This doesn't really make sense, the sub-thread can die right after unlock. And in fact, this is just wrong. Without SIGEV_THREAD_ID good_sigevent() returns ->group_leader, and it is very possible that the leader is already dead. This is OK, we shouldn't return the error in this case. Remove this check and the comment. Note that the "process" was found under tasklist_lock, it must have ->sighand != NULL. Also, remove a couple of unneeded initializations.

posix_timer_event() drops SIGEV_THREAD_ID and switches to ->group_leader if send_sigqueue() fails. This is not very useful and doesn't work reliably. send_sigqueue() can only fail if ->it_process is dead. But it can die before it dequeues the SI_TIMER signal, in that case the timer stops anyway. Remove this code. I guess it was needed a long ago to ensure that the timer is not destroyed when when its creator thread dies. Q: perhaps it makes sense to change sys_timer_settime() to return an error if ->it_process is dead?

This is the second resubmission of the posix timer rework patch, posted a few days ago. This includes the changes from the previous resubmittion, which addressed Oleg Nesterov's comments, removing the RCU stuff from the patch and un-inlining the thread_group_cputime() function for SMP. In addition, per Ingo Molnar it simplifies the UP code, consolidating much of it with the SMP version and depending on lower-level SMP/UP handling to take care of the differences. It also cleans up some UP compile errors, moves the scheduler stats-related macros into kernel/sched_stats.h, cleans up a merge error in kernel/fork.c and has a few other minor fixes and cleanups as suggested by Oleg and Ingo. Thanks for the review, guys.

Overview This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling. It was put together with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code. The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads. It appears that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse. Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at which point things degrade rather quickly. This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF." Code Changes This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it run in constant time for a particular machine. (Performance may vary between one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single- or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of running processors.) To do this, at each tick we now update fields in signal_struct as well as task_struct. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function uses those fields to make its decisions. We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and scheduler times and use these in appropriate places: struct task_cputime { cputime_t utime; cputime_t stime; unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime; }; This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus multiprocessor kernels. For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer: struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime totals; }; struct thread_group_cputime { struct task_cputime *totals; }; We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration of thread timers). The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends. In the non-SMP case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention). For SMP, the thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated using alloc_percpu(). The timer functions update only the timer field in the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr(). We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP implementations from the rest of the kernel. The thread_group_cputime_init() function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task. The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill in the per-cpu structures and fields. The thread_group_cputime_free() function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures. The thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been allocated. The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields; in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and, if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU. Finally, the three functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure. Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further. The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal(). It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from cleanup_signal(). All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated. Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit. The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting. With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away. All summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the thread_group_cputime() inline. When process-wide timers are set, the new task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest expiration; this is checked in the fast path. Performance The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations. It generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs very significantly better (Case 2 below). Overall it's a wash except in those two cases. I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system. Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system, all of which was spent in the system. There were twice as many voluntary context switches with the fix as without it. Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023 seconds per tick). Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had very nearly the same performance in both cases: 6.3 seconds elapsed for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel. With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus 5.8 seconds). The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel. Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits. Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was user time. The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system time. Really, though, the results were too close to call. The results were essentially the same with no itimer running. Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds (where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running, the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick. Otherwise, performance was almost indistinguishable. With no itimer running this test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases. In times past I did some limited performance testing. those results are below. On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s. On the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but system time dropped to 0.007 seconds. Performance with eight, four and one thread were comparable. Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed more accurate: The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720 for 0.061 seconds per tick. Both cases were configured for an interval of 0.01 seconds. Again, the other tests were comparable. Each thread in this test computed the primes up to 25,000,000. I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is impossible without the fix. In this case each thread computed the primes only up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable). System time dominated, at 1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of 629.938s). It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite accurate. There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

- 8-bit interface mode never worked properly. The only adapter I have which supports the 8b mode (the Jmicron) had some problems with its clock wiring and they discovered it only now. We also discovered that ProHG media is more sensitive to the ordering of initialization commands. - Make the driver fall back to highest supported mode instead of always falling back to serial. The driver will attempt the switch to 8b mode for any new MSPro card, but not all of them support it. Previously, these new cards ended up in serial mode, which is not the best idea (they work fine with 4b, after all). - Edit some macros for better conformance to Sony documentation Signed-off-by: NAlex Dubov <oakad@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When suspending the system with atmel_lcdfb enabled, I sometimes see this: atmel_lcdfb atmel_lcdfb.0: FIFO underflow 0x10 Which can be explained by the fact that we're not stopping the LCD controller and its DMA engine when suspending, we're just gating the clocks to them. There's another potential issue which may be harder to trigger but much more nasty: If we gate the clocks at _just_ the right moment, e.g. when the DMA engine is doing a bus transaction, we may cause the DMA engine to violate the system bus protocol and cause a lockup. Avoid these issues by shutting down the LCD controller before entering suspend (and restarting it when resuming). This prevents the underrun from happening in the first place, and prevents whatever nastiness is happening when the bus clock stops in the middle of a DMA transfer.

If you are on ia64 and you modprobe xpc then modprobe -r xpc, you immediately get a panic. xpc depends on xp which depends on gru for a symbol. That symbol is only used when we are running on UV hardware. Currently, the GRU driver detects we are not on UV hardware and does no initializing. It does not do the same check when unloading. As a result, the gru driver attempts to tear down stuff that was not setup. This is a simple two-line workaround to get us through this release. Once 2.6.28 is opened, we need to rework the symbols that xp is depending on from gru so the gru driver can properly fail to load when hardware is not available.

The iterator for_each_zone_zonelist() uses a struct zoneref *z cursor when scanning zonelists to keep track of where in the zonelist it is. The zoneref that is returned corresponds to the the next zone that is to be scanned, not the current one. It was intended to be treated as an opaque list. When the page allocator is scanning a zonelist, it marks elements in the zonelist corresponding to zones that are temporarily full. As the zonelist is being updated, it uses the cursor here; if (NUMA_BUILD) zlc_mark_zone_full(zonelist, z); This is intended to prevent rescanning in the near future but the zoneref cursor does not correspond to the zone that has been found to be full. This is an easy misunderstanding to make so this patch corrects the problem by changing zoneref cursor to be the current zone being scanned instead of the next one.

Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. The first bug is in all versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel, and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can issue large DMA reads). 1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing, but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode. Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers. 2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode. A test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA or PIO mode. Worked around by rejecting only large transfers with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers larger than 8191 to use PIO mode. A rate limited warning is issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode. This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20; it was test patched against 2.6.20. An additional patch would be required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver. These bugs are in all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16 flash. 1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early: before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the delay ineffective at holding chip select. 2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough). 3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the next message. Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays and chip select de-assertions. 4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer, and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3, above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is for a different chip. Fixed by dropping chip select regardless of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message or if the next message is for a different chip. This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20; it was test patched against 2.6.20.

I recently bought 3 HGST P7K500-series 500GB SATA drives and had trouble accessing the block right on the LBA28-LBA48 border. Here's how it fails (same for all 3 drives): # dd if=/dev/sdc bs=512 count=1 skip=268435455 > /dev/null dd: reading `/dev/sdc': Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 0.288033 seconds, 0.0 kB/s # dmesg ata1.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 ata1.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 ata1.00: cmd c8/00:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef tag 0 dma 4096 in res 51/04:08:f8:ff:ff/00:00:00:00:00/ef Emask 0x1 (device error) ata1.00: status: { DRDY ERR } ata1.00: error: { ABRT } ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33 ata1: EH complete ... After some investigations, it turned out this seems to be caused by misinterpretation of the ATA specification on LBA28 access. Following part is the code in question: === include/linux/ata.h === static inline int lba_28_ok(u64 block, u32 n_block) { /* check the ending block number */ return ((block + n_block - 1) < ((u64)1 << 28)) && (n_block <= 256); } HGST drive (sometimes) fails with LBA28 access of {block = 0xfffffff, n_block = 1}, and this behavior seems to be comformant. Other drives, including other HGST drives are not that strict, through. >From the ATA specification: (http://www.t13.org/Documents/UploadedDocuments/project/d1410r3b-ATA-ATAPI-6.pdf) 8.15.29 Word (61:60): Total number of user addressable sectors This field contains a value that is one greater than the total number of user addressable sectors (see 6.2). The maximum value that shall be placed in this field is 0FFFFFFFh. So the driver shouldn't use the value of 0xfffffff for LBA28 request as this exceeds maximum user addressable sector. The logical maximum value for LBA28 is 0xffffffe. The obvious fix is to cut "- 1" part, and the patch attached just do that. I've been using the patched kernel for about a month now, and the same fix is also floating on the net for some time. So I believe this fix works reliably. Just FYI, many Windows/Intel platform users also seems to be struck by this, and HGST has issued a note pointing to Intel ICH8/9 driver. "28-bit LBA command is being used to access LBAs 29-bits in length" http://www.hitachigst.com/hddt/knowtree.nsf/cffe836ed7c12018862565b000530c74/b531b8bce8745fb78825740f00580e23 Also, *BSDs seems to have similar fix included sometime around ~2004, through I have not checked out exact portion of the code.

PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS was defined to be zero, which meant we ignored the DMA mask for IDE and SCSI transfers. This is wrong - we have no DMA translation hardware.
