We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state. This happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote() is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in smp_ipi_demux(). Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing for it to do. In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule() is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(), this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux(). The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and scheduler_ipi(). In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers. Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that ipi_message is not just accessed locally. This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations. Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO store. This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases. These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on different cores of a POWER7 machine. The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly is due to Milton Miller.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value. If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management (ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value. Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread DSCR as required. This was found with the following test case, when running with more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching): http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all test cases successfully at the same time: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_explicit_test.c http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_inherit_test.cSigned-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> # 3.0+ Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit. We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from the parent which ends up being much simpler.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr. We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is a period where thread.dscr is incorrect. If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with reality.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR - we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

The CPU hotplug code for the powernv platform currently only puts offline CPUs into nap mode if the powersave_nap variable is set. However, HV-style KVM on this platform requires secondary CPU threads to be offline and in nap mode. Since we know nap mode works just fine on all POWER7 machines, and the only machines that support the powernv platform are POWER7 machines, this changes the code to always put offline CPUs into nap mode, regardless of powersave_nap. Powersave_nap still controls whether or not CPUs go into nap mode when idle, as before.

At the moment the handler for hypervisor decrementer interrupts is the same as for decrementer interrupts, i.e. timer_interrupt(). This is bogus; if we ever do get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt it won't have anything to do with the next timer event. In fact the only time we get hypervisor decrementer interrupts is when one is left pending on exit from a KVM guest. When we get a hypervisor decrementer interrupt we don't need to do anything special to clear it, since they are edge-triggered on the transition of HDEC from 0 to -1. Thus this adds an empty handler function for them. We don't need to have them masked when interrupts are soft-disabled, so we use STD_EXCEPTION_HV instead of MASKABLE_EXCEPTION_HV.

For powerpc BooKE and e200, singlestep is handled on the critical/dbg exception stack. This causes current_thread_info() to fail for kgdb internal, so previously We work around this issue by copying the thread_info from the kernel stack before calling kgdb_handle_exception, and copying it back afterwards. But actually we don't do this properly. We should backup current_thread_info then restore that when exit.

Commit 9adc5374 ('common: dma-mapping: introduce mmap method') added a generic method for implementing mmap user call to dma_map_ops structure. This patch converts ARM and PowerPC architectures (the only providers of dma_mmap_coherent/dma_mmap_writecombine calls) to use this generic dma_map_ops based call and adds a generic cross architecture definition for dma_mmap_attrs, dma_mmap_coherent, dma_mmap_writecombine functions. The generic mmap virt_to_page-based fallback implementation is provided for architectures which don't provide their own implementation for mmap method.

As Colin Cross ported my x86 change to ARM, he also pointed out that powerpc is also behind in this fix. The commit 722b3c74 "ftrace/graph: Trace function entry before updating index" fixes an issue with function graph tracing for x86, where if the called entry function decides not to trace interrupts, it can fail the check if an interrupt comes in just after the curr_ret_stack is updated. The solution is to call the entry function first, then update the curr_ret_stack if the entry function wants to be traced.

When I "fixed" the CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS case on interrupt entry, I screwed up a little bit with the test for user space vs. kernel. The code is fine, there's just some dead code around it. I basically removed the test and always create the added stack frame whether coming from user or kernel since in any case we do need to save a bunch of volatile registers or bad things would happen (we can take page faults in the kernel for example).

Looks like we still have issues with pSeries and Cell idle code vs. the lazy irq state. In fact, the reset fixes that went upstream are exposing the problem more by causing BUG_ON() to trigger (which this patch turns into a WARN_ON instead). We need to be careful when using a variant of low power state that has the side effect of turning interrupts back on, to properly set all the SW & lazy state to look as if everything is enabled before we enter the low power state with MSR:EE off as we will return with MSR:EE on. If not, we have a discrepancy of state which can cause things to go very wrong later on. This patch moves the logic into a helper and uses it from the pseries and cell idle code. The power4/970 idle code already got things right (in assembly even !) so I'm not touching it. The power7 "bare metal" idle code is subtly different and correct. Remains PA6T and some hypervisor based Cell platforms which have questionable code in there, but they are mostly dead platforms so I'll fix them when I manage to get final answers from the respective maintainers about how the low power state actually works on them.
