      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [PATCH] lock validator: fix ns83820.c irq-flags bug · 3a10cceb
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Barry K. Nathan reported the following lockdep warning:

      [  197.355612]  [<c0102d9d>] common_interrupt+0x25/0x2c
      
      this is caused because the ns83820 driver re-enables irq flags
      in hardirq context.
      
      While legal in theory, in practice it should only be done if the
      hardware is really old and has some very high overhead in its ISR.
      (such as PIO IDE)
      
      For modern hardware, running ISRs with irqs enabled is discouraged,
      because 1) new hardware is fast enough to not cause latency problems
      2) allowing the nesting of hardware interrupts only 'spreads out'
      the handling of the current ISR, causing extra cachemisses that would
      otherwise not happen. Furthermore, on architectures where ISRs share
      the kernel stacks, enabling interrupts in ISRs introduces a much
      higher kernel-stack-nesting and thus kernel-stack-overflow risk.
      3) not managing irq-flags via the _irqsave / _irqrestore variants
      is dangerous: it's easy to forget whether one function nests inside
      another, and irq flags might be mismanaged.
      
      In the few cases where re-enabling interrupts in an ISR is considered
      useful (and unavoidable), it has to be taught to the lock validator
      explicitly (because the lock validator needs the "no ISR ever enables
      hardirqs" artificial simplification to keep the IRQ/softirq locking
      dependencies manageable).
      
      This teaching is done via the explicit use local_irq_enable_in_hardirq().
      On a stock kernel this maps to local_irq_enable(). If the lock validator
      is enabled then this does not enable interrupts.
      
      Now, the analysis of drivers/net/ns83820.c's irq flags use: the
      irq-enabling in irq context seems intentional, but i dont think it's
      justified. Furthermore, the driver suffers from problem #3 above too,
      in ns83820_tx_timeout() it disables irqs via local_irq_save(), but
      then it calls do_tx_done() which does a spin_unlock_irq(),
      re-enabling for a function that does not expect it! While currently
      this bug seems harmless (only some debug printout seems to be
      affected by it), it's nevertheless something to be fixed.
      
      So this patch makes the ns83820 ISR irq-flags-safe, and cleans up
      do_tx_done() use and locking to avoid the ns83820_tx_timeout() bug.
      
      From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
      
        ns83820_mib_isr takes the misc_lock in IRQ context.  All other places that
        do this in the ISR already use _irqsave versions, make this consistent at
        least.  At some point in the future someone should audit the driver to see
        if all _irqsave's in the ISR can go away, this is generally an iffy/fragile
        proposition though; for now get it safe, simple and consistent.
      
      From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
      
      ok this is a real driver deadlock:
      
      The ns83820 driver enabled interrupts (by unlocking the misc_lock with
      _irq) while still holding the rx_info.lock, which is required to be irq
      safe since it's used in the ISR like this:
                      writel(1, dev->base + IER);
                      spin_unlock_irq(&dev->misc_lock);
                      kick_rx(ndev);
                      spin_unlock_irq(&dev->rx_info.lock);
      
      This is can cause a deadlock if an irq was pending at the first
      spin_unlock_irq already, or if one would hit during kick_rx().
      Simply remove the first _irq solves this
