      ARM: smp_on_up: move inline asm ALT_SMP patching macro out of spinlock.h · 27a84793
      Will Deacon 提交于
      Patching UP/SMP alternatives inside inline assembly blocks is useful
      outside of the spinlock implementation, where it is used for sev and wfe.
      
      This patch lifts the macro into processor.h and gives it a scarier name
      to (a) avoid conflicts in the global namespace and (b) to try and deter
      its usage unless you "know what you're doing". The W macro for generating
      wide instructions when targetting Thumb-2 is also made available under
      the name WASM, to reduce the potential for conflicts with other headers.

      ARM: spinlock: use inner-shareable dsb variant prior to sev instruction · 73a6fdc4
      Will Deacon 提交于
      When unlocking a spinlock, we use the sev instruction to signal other
      CPUs waiting on the lock. Since sev is not a memory access instruction,
      we require a dsb in order to ensure that the sev is not issued ahead
      of the store placing the lock in an unlocked state.
      
      However, as sev is only concerned with other processors in a
      multiprocessor system, we can restrict the scope of the preceding dsb
      to the inner-shareable domain. Furthermore, we can restrict the scope to
      consider only stores, since there are no independent loads on the unlock
      path.
      
      A side-effect of this change is that a spin_unlock operation no longer
      forces completion of pending TLB invalidation, something which we rely
      on when unlocking runqueues to ensure that CPU migration during TLB
      maintenance routines doesn't cause us to continue before the operation
      has completed.
      
      This patch adds the -ishst suffix to the ARMv7 definition of dsb_sev()
      and adds an inner-shareable dsb to the context-switch path when running
      a preemptible, SMP, v7 kernel.

      [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locks · ef6edc97
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
      regard to spinlocks and rw-locks.  If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
      is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
      yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
      lock (directed yield).
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
      common code changes.  Powerpc already does this.
      
      With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
      _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c.  If the lock
      could not be taken cpu_relax is called.  A directed yield is not possible
      because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock.  To be able to
      yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
      for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed.  The new _raw_spin_relax,
      _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
      insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

      [ARM SMP] Use event instructions for spinlocks · 00b4c907
      Russell King 提交于
      ARMv6K CPUs have SEV (send event) and WFE (wait for event) instructions
      which allow the CPU clock to be suspended until another CPU issues a
      SEV, rather than spinning on the lock wasting power.  Make use of these
      instructions.
      
      Note that WFE does not wait if an event has been sent since the last WFE
      cleared the event status, so although it may look racy, the instruction
      implementation ensures that these are dealt with.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h

        Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
        Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
        non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
      
        I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
        some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
        are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
        expect any new issues to arise with them.
      
       If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
        need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
        that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
        (load and clear word).
