      timer: Don't reinitialize the cpu base lock during CPU_UP_PREPARE · 42a5cf46
      由 Tirupathi Reddy 提交于 
      An inactive timer's base can refer to a offline cpu's base.

In the current code, cpu_base's lock is blindly reinitialized each
time a CPU is brought up. If a CPU is brought online during the period
that another thread is trying to modify an inactive timer on that CPU
with holding its timer base lock, then the lock will be reinitialized
under its feet. This leads to following SPIN_BUG().

<0> BUG: spinlock already unlocked on CPU#3, kworker/u:3/1466

<4> [<c00aad9c>] (kthread+0x80/0x8c) from [<c000ea80>] (kernel_thread_exit+0x0/0x8)

As an example, this particular crash occurred when CPU #3 is executing
mod_timer() on an inactive timer whose base is refered to offlined CPU
#2.  The code locked the timer_base corresponding to CPU #2. Before it
could proceed, CPU #2 came online and reinitialized the spinlock
corresponding to its base. Thus now CPU #3 held a lock which was
reinitialized. When CPU #3 finally ended up unlocking the old cpu_base
corresponding to CPU #2, we hit the above SPIN_BUG().

CPU #0		CPU #3				       CPU #2
------		-------				       -------
.....		 ......				      <Offline>
		mod_timer()
		 lock_timer_base
		   spin_lock_irqsave(&base->lock)

cpu_up(2)	 .....				        ......
							init_timers_cpu()
....		 .....				    	spin_lock_init(&base->lock)
.....		   spin_unlock_irqrestore(&base->lock)  ......
		   <spin_bug>

Allocation of per_cpu timer vector bases is done only once under
"tvec_base_done[]" check. In the current code, spinlock_initialization
of base->lock isn't under this check. When a CPU is up each time the
base lock is reinitialized. Move base spinlock initialization under
the check.

The warning is that 'rdtp->dynticks' has an unexpected value, which roughly
translates to - the calls to rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() were not
made in the correct order, or otherwise messed up.

And Bjørn's painstaking debugging indicated that this happens when the idle
loop enters the poll mode. Looking at the poll function cpu_idle_poll(), and
the implementation of trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle(), the problem becomes very clear:
cpu_idle_poll() lacks calls to rcu_idle_enter/exit(), and trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle()
calls them in the reverse order - first rcu_idle_exit(), and then rcu_idle_enter().
Hence the even/odd alternative sequencing of rdtp->dynticks goes for a toss.

And powertop readily triggers this because powertop uses the idle-tracing
infrastructure extensively.

So, to fix this, wrap the code in cpu_idle_poll() within rcu_idle_enter/exit(),
so that it blends properly with the calls inside trace_cpu_idle_rcuidle() and
thus get the function ordering right.

      tick: Don't invoke tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() if the cpu is offline · f7ea0fd6
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      commit 5b39939a (nohz: Move ts->idle_calls incrementation into strict
idle logic) moved code out of tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() and missed
to bail out when the cpu is offline. That's causing subsequent
failures as an offline CPU is supposed to die and not to fiddle with
nohz magic.

Return false in can_stop_idle_tick() if the cpu is offline.

      powerpc/perf: Fix setting of "to" addresses for BHRB · 69123184
      由 Michael Neuling 提交于 
      Currently we only set the "to" address in the branch stack when the CPU
explicitly gives us a value.  Unfortunately it only does this for XL form
branches (eg blr, bctr, bctar) and not I and B form branches (eg b, bc).

Fortunately if we read the instruction from memory we can extract the offset of
a branch and calculate the target address.

This adds a function power_pmu_bhrb_to() to calculate the target/to address of
the corresponding I and B form branches.  It handles branches in both user and
kernel spaces.  It also plumbs this into the perf brhb reading code.

comes before (lower mfbhrb entry) it's corresponding branch.

      powerpc/booke64: Fix kernel hangs at kernel_dbg_exc · 6cecf76b
      由 Scott Wood 提交于 
      MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it
explicitly outside of debug code.  If we have MSR_DE set in
prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0
(e.g.  ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the
real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a
debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded.  DSRR0 will not
point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at
kernel_dbg_exc.  Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new
debug state.

Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch
taken event.  If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap
(e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch.
We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch
instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is
DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even
checking the DSRR0 address.  Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well
as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was
intended in the 64-bit code as well.

      This patch brings online all threads which are present but not online
prior to migration/hibernation.  After migration/hibernation those
threads are taken back offline.

During migration/hibernation all online CPUs must call H_JOIN, this is
required by the hypervisor.  Without this patch, threads that are offline
(H_CEDE'd) will not be woken to make the H_JOIN call and the OS will be
deadlocked (all threads either JOIN'd or CEDE'd).

buffer size as 64 bytes and we use sprintf to copy data from

This patch increases local buffer size to 256 and also uses
snprintf instead of sprintf to copy data from RTAS buffer.

      powerpc/kexec: Fix kexec when using VMX optimised memcpy · 79c66ce8
      由 Anton Blanchard 提交于 
      commit b3f271e8 (powerpc: POWER7 optimised memcpy using VMX and
enhanced prefetch) uses VMX when it is safe to do so (ie not in
interrupt). It also looks at the task struct to decide if we have to
save the current tasks' VMX state.

kexec calls memcpy() at a point where the task struct may have been
overwritten by the new kexec segments. If it has been overwritten
then when memcpy -> enable_altivec looks up current->thread.regs->msr
we get a cryptic oops or lockup.

I also notice we aren't initialising thread_info->cpu, which means
smp_processor_id is broken. Fix that too.
