      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.

      xen: save previous spinlock when blocking · 168d2f46
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve
      the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an
      interrupt handler.
      
      We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets
      interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually
      blocking.  If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where
      the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block
      indefinitely in the hypervisor.  This fix is to make sure that any
      nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any
      chance the outer lock became free.

      xen: implement Xen-specific spinlocks · 2d9e1e2f
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      The standard ticket spinlocks are very expensive in a virtual
      environment, because their performance depends on Xen's scheduler
      giving vcpus time in the order that they're supposed to take the
      spinlock.
      
      This implements a Xen-specific spinlock, which should be much more
      efficient.
      
      The fast-path is essentially the old Linux-x86 locks, using a single
      lock byte.  The locker decrements the byte; if the result is 0, then
      they have the lock.  If the lock is negative, then locker must spin
      until the lock is positive again.
      
      When there's contention, the locker spin for 2^16[*] iterations waiting
      to get the lock.  If it fails to get the lock in that time, it adds
      itself to the contention count in the lock and blocks on a per-cpu
      event channel.
      
      When unlocking the spinlock, the locker looks to see if there's anyone
      blocked waiting for the lock by checking for a non-zero waiter count.
      If there's a waiter, it traverses the per-cpu "lock_spinners"
      variable, which contains which lock each CPU is waiting on.  It picks
      one CPU waiting on the lock and sends it an event to wake it up.
      
      This allows efficient fast-path spinlock operation, while allowing
      spinning vcpus to give up their processor time while waiting for a
      contended lock.
      
      [*] 2^16 iterations is threshold at which 98% locks have been taken
      according to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from
      Spinning Around".  Therefore, we'd expect the lock and unlock slow
      paths will only be entered 2% of the time.

      xen: add xen_arch_resume()/xen_timer_resume hook for ia64 support · ad55db9f
      Isaku Yamahata 提交于
      add xen_timer_resume() hook.
      
      Timer resume should be done after event channel is resumed.
      add xen_arch_resume() hook when ipi becomes usable after resume.
      After resume, some cpu specific resource must be reinitialized
      on ia64 that can't be set by another cpu.
      
      However available hooks is run once on only one cpu so that ipi has
      to be used.
      
      During stop_machine_run() ipi can't be used because interrupt is masked.
      So add another hook after stop_machine_run().
      Another approach might be use resume hook which is run by
      device_resume(). However device_resume() may be executed on
      suspend error recovery path.
      
      So it is necessary to determine whether it is executed on real resume path
      or error recovery path.
