      ARC: [mm] Lazy D-cache flush (non aliasing VIPT) · eacd0e95
      由 Vineet Gupta 提交于 
      flush_dcache_page( ) is MM hook to ensure that a page has consistent
views between kernel and userspace. Thus it is called when

* kernel writes to a page which at some later point could get mapped to
  userspace (so kernel mapping needs to be flushed-n-inv)
* kernel is about to read from a page with possible userspace mappings
  (so userspace mappings needs to be made coherent with kernel ones)

However for Non aliasing VIPT dcache, any userspace mapping will always
be congruent to kernel mapping. Thus d-cache need need not be flushed at
all (or delayed indefinitely).

The only reason it does need to be flushed is when mapping code pages.
Since icache doesn't snoop dcache, those dirty dcache lines need to be
written back to memory and icache line invalidated so that icache lines
fetch will get the right data.

Decent gains on LMBench fork/exec/sh and File I/O micro-benchmarks.

      Now that we have same helper used for all icache invalidates (i.e.
vaddr+paddr based exact line invalidate), consolidate the open coded
calls into one place.

Also rename flush_icache_range_vaddr => __sync_icache_dcache

      ARC: [mm] optimise icache flush for user mappings · 24603fdd
      由 Vineet Gupta 提交于 
      ARC icache doesn't snoop dcache thus executable pages need to be made
coherent before mapping into userspace in flush_icache_page().

However ARC700 CDU (hardware cache flush module) requires both vaddr
(index in cache) as well as paddr (tag match) to correctly identify a
line in the VIPT cache. A typical ARC700 SoC has aliasing icache, thus
the paddr only based flush_icache_page() API couldn't be implemented
efficiently. It had to loop thru all possible alias indexes and perform
the invalidate operation (ofcourse the cache op would only succeed at
the index(es) where tag matches - typically only 1, but the cost of
visiting all the cache-bins needs to paid nevertheless).

Turns out however that the vaddr (along with paddr) is available in
update_mmu_cache() hence better suits ARC icache flush semantics.
With both vaddr+paddr, exactly one flush operation per line is done.

      ARC: [mm] optimize needless full mm TLB flush on munmap · 8d56bec2
      由 Vineet Gupta 提交于 
      munmap ends up calling tlb_flush() which for ARC was flushing the entire
TLB unconditionally (by moving the MMU to a new ASID)

do_munmap
  unmap_region
    unmap_vmas
      unmap_single_vma
         unmap_page_range
            tlb_start_vma
            zap_pud_range
            tlb_end_vma()
  tlb_finish_mmu
    tlb_flush()  ---> unconditional flush_tlb_mm()

So even a single page munmap, a frequent operation when uClibc dynamic
linker (ldso) is loading the dependent shared libraries, would move the
the ASID multiple times - needlessly invalidating the pre-faulted TLB
entries (and increasing the rate of ASID wraparound + full TLB flush).

This is now optimised to only be called if tlb->full_mm (which means
for exit/execve) cases only. And for those cases, flush_tlb_mm() is
already optimised to be a no-op for mm->mm_users == 0.

So essentially there are no mmore full mm flushes - except for fork which
anyhow needs it for properly COW'ing parent address space.

munmap now needs to do TLB range flush, which is implemented with
tlb_end_vma()

Results
-------
1. ASID now consistenly moves by 4 during a simple ls (as opposed to 5 or
   7 before).

2. LMBench microbenchmark also shows improvements

      ARC: Add implicit compiler barrier to raw_local_irq* functions · 79e5f05e
      由 Christian Ruppert 提交于 
      ARC irqsave/restore macros were missing the compiler barrier, causing a
stale load in irq-enabled region be used in irq-safe region, despite
being changed, because the register holding the value was still live.

The problem manifested as random crashes in timer code when stress
testing ARCLinux (3.9-rc3) on a !SMP && !PREEMPT_COUNT

Here's the exact sequence which caused this:
 (0). tv1[x] <----> t1 <---> t2
 (1). mod_timer(t1) interrupted after it calls timer_pending()
 (2). mod_timer(t2) completes
 (3). mod_timer(t1) resumes but messes up the list
 (4). __runt_timers( ) uses bogus timer_list entry / crashes in
      timer->function

Essentially mod_timer() was racing against itself and while the spinlock
serialized the tv1[] timer link list, timer_pending() called outside the
spinlock, cached timer link list element in a register.
With low register pressure (and a deep register file), lack of barrier
in raw_local_irqsave() as well as preempt_disable (!PREEMPT_COUNT
version), there was nothing to force gcc to reload across the spinlock,
causing a stale value in reg be used for link list manipulation - ensuing
a corruption.

ARcompact disassembly which shows the culprit generated code:

mod_timer:
    push_s blink
    mov_s r13,r0	# timer, timer
..
    ###### timer_pending( )
    ld_s r3,[r13]       # <------ <variable>.entry.next LOADED
    brne r3, 0, @.L163

.L163:
..
    ###### spin_lock_irq( )
    lr  r5, [status32]  # flags
    bic r4, r5, 6       # temp, flags,
    and.f 0, r5, 6      # flags,
    flag.nz r4

    ###### detach_if_pending( ) begins

    tst_s r3,r3  <--------------
			# timer_pending( ) checks timer->entry.next
                        # r3 is NOT reloaded by gcc, using stale value
    beq.d @.L169
    mov.eq r0,0

    #####  detach_timer( ): __list_del( )

    ld r4,[r13,4]    	# <variable>.entry.prev, D.31439
    st r4,[r3,4]     	# <variable>.prev, D.31439
    st r3,[r4]       	# <variable>.next, D.30246

We initially tried to fix this by adding barrier() to preempt_* macros
for !PREEMPT_COUNT but Linus clarified that it was anything but wrong.

      ARC: Fix the typo in event identifier flags used by ptrace · 367f3fcd
      由 Vineet Gupta 提交于 
      orig_r8_IS_EXCPN and orig_r8_IS_BRKPT were same values due to a
copy/paste error. Although it looks bad and is wrong, it really doesn't
affect gdb working.

orig_r8_IS_BRKPT is the one relevant to debugging (breakpoints), since
it is used to provide EFA vs. ERET to a ptrace "stop_pc" request.

So when gdb has inserted a breakpoint, orig_r8_IS_BRKPT is already set,
and anything else (i.e. orig_r8_IS_EXCPN) becoming same as it, really
doesn't hurt gdb. The corollary case, could be nasty but nobody uses the
ptrace "stop_pc" request in that case
