      Introduce new top level suspend and hibernation callbacks · 1eede070
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Introduce 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops' ('ext' meaning
      'extended') representing suspend and hibernation operations for bus
      types, device classes, device types and device drivers.
      
      Modify the PM core to use 'struct pm_ops' and 'struct pm_ext_ops'
      objects, if defined, instead of the ->suspend(), ->resume(),
      ->suspend_late(), and ->resume_early() callbacks (the old callbacks
      will be considered as legacy and gradually phased out).
      
      The main purpose of doing this is to separate suspend (aka S2RAM and
      standby) callbacks from hibernation callbacks in such a way that the
      new callbacks won't take arguments and the semantics of each of them
      will be clearly specified.  This has been requested for multiple
      times by many people, including Linus himself, and the reason is that
      within the current scheme if ->resume() is called, for example, it's
      difficult to say why it's been called (ie. is it a resume from RAM or
      from hibernation or a suspend/hibernation failure etc.?).
      
      The second purpose is to make the suspend/hibernation callbacks more
      flexible so that device drivers can handle more than they can within
      the current scheme.  For example, some drivers may need to prevent
      new children of the device from being registered before their
      ->suspend() callbacks are executed or they may want to carry out some
      operations requiring the availability of some other devices, not
      directly bound via the parent-child relationship, in order to prepare
      for the execution of ->suspend(), etc.
      
      Ultimately, we'd like to stop using the freezing of tasks for suspend
      and therefore the drivers' suspend/hibernation code will have to take
      care of the handling of the user space during suspend/hibernation.
      That, in turn, would be difficult within the current scheme, without
      the new ->prepare() and ->complete() callbacks.

      fix idle (arch, acpi and apm) and lockdep · 7f424a8b
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      OK, so 25-mm1 gave a lockdep error which made me look into this.
      
      The first thing that I noticed was the horrible mess; the second thing I
      saw was hacks like: 71e93d15
      
      The problem is that arch idle routines are somewhat inconsitent with
      their IRQ state handling and instead of fixing _that_, we go paper over
      the problem.
      
      So the thing I've tried to do is set a standard for idle routines and
      fix them all up to adhere to that. So the rules are:
      
        idle routines are entered with IRQs disabled
        idle routines will exit with IRQs enabled
      
      Nearly all already did this in one form or another.
      
      Merge the 32 and 64 bit bits so they no longer have different bugs.
      
      As for the actual lockdep warning; __sti_mwait() did a plainly un-annotated
      irq-enable.

      drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internals · 1855256c
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Three main sets of changes:
      
      1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
         since callers should not be changing that data.
      
      2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
         whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
         that data area.
      
      3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
         in low-level drivers.
      
      And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
      optimizations on the part of the compiler.
      
      The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated.  #1 could
      have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
      it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

      Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default · 83144186
      Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
      Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
      threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves.  This
      approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
      set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
      care for the freezing of tasks at all.
      
      It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
      be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
      freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
      done in this patch.
      
      The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie.  to
      have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
      function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
      unset PF_NOFREEZE.  It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
      threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
      change of behaviour to appear.  Additionally, it updates documentation to
      describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

      [PATCH] sched: fix bad missed wakeups in the i386, x86_64, ia64, ACPI and APM idle code · 0888f06a
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
      xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
      until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
      system load, often in the milliseconds range.
      
      After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
      tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
      test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
      following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:
      
                       _------=> CPU#
                      / _-----=> irqs-off

      what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for
      PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task()
      for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
      TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
      and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
      result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!
      
      the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
      kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:
      
          commit 495ab9c0
          Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
          Date:   Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200
      
          [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
      
          During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
          memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
          to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
          no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
          to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
      
      the problem is this type of change:
      
              if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
      -               clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
      +               current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
                      smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
                      while (!need_resched()) {
                              local_irq_disable();
      
      this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
      clear_thread_flag() is defined as:
      
              clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);
      
      and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:
      
        static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
        {
                __asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
                        "btrl %1,%0"
      
      hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:
      
        #define smp_mb__after_clear_bit()       barrier()
      
      but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:
      
      +               current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
      
      is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
      reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
      reside in different memory addresses.
      
      CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
      the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
      and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
      to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
      ordering is paramount.]
      
      Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
      ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.
      
      ( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
        triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
        was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )
      
      The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
      act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
      NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
      ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.
