      [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle rework · 64c7c8f8
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
      confusion, and make their semantics rigid.  Improves efficiency of
      resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
      
      * In resched_task:
      - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
        and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
        atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
        when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
        protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
      
      - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
        won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
      
      - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
        TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
      
      - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
        after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
      
      Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
      resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
      POLLING_NRFLAG.
      
      * In idle routines:
      - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
        becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
        (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
      
      - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
        to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
        assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
        held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
        to the idle thread.
      
      - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
        most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
        set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
        a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
      
        Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
        can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
        the idle task.
      
        POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

      [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.

      powerpc: Fix vmlinux.lds.S for 32-bit · c51e3a41
      Paul Mackerras 提交于
      We can't currently use asm-ppc/page.h in vmlinux.lds.S, so until
      we have a merged page.h, define PAGE_SIZE and KERNELBASE locally.
      Also gets rid of some dynamic executable cruft that we had for
      32-bit.  With -Ttext=$(KERNELBASE) this didn't cause any problem,
      but when we changed to putting . = KERNELBASE in the vmlinux.lds.S
      this cruft caused the text to get linked at 0xa0 instead of
      0xc0000000.  Oops.
