      hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency · 7f8030d1
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting.
      
      For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0,
      because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context
      (see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c).
      
      For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because
      tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls
      might sleep due to mutex_lock.
      
      BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at /root/cvs/linux-2.6.git/kernel/mutex.c:207

      hvc_console: Escape magic sysrq key · 368c1e32
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      The ctrl-o (^O) is a common control key used by several applications,
      such as vim, but hvc_console uses ^O as the magic-sysrq key.  This
      commit allows users to send ^O to applications by pressing ^O twice
      in succession.
      
      To implement this, this commit introduces a check if ^O is pressed
      again if the sysrq_pressed variable is already set.  In this case,
      clear sysrq_pressed state and flip the ^O character to the tty.  (The
      old behavior has always set "sysrq_pressed" if ^O has been entered,
      and it has not flipped the ^O character to the tty.)

      drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driver · 2571cd6a
      Julia Lawall 提交于
      The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong
      argument.
      
      The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores
      the result in drv.  Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error
      handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to
      stop_thread.  At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv
      has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it
      seems that hvc_driver would be NULL.  Thus the current call to
      put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed.  The goto
      stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to
      tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free
      its argument, so it should be done here.  Thus, I have moved the put_tty
      label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both
      cases.
      
      The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:

      fix spinlock recursion in hvc_console · b1b135c8

      Author: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
      hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks
      introduced a spinlock recursion problem.
      
      request_irq tries to call the handler if the IRQ is shared.
      The irq handler of hvc_console calls hvc_poll and hvc_kill
      which might take the hvc_struct spinlock. Therefore, we have
      to call request_irq outside the spinlock.
      
      We can move the notifier_add safely outside the spinlock as ->data must
      not be changed by the backend. Otherwise, tty_hangup would fail anyway.

      hvc_console: rework setup to replace irq functions with callbacks · 611e097d
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if
      the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console
      without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq.
      
      In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio
      console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest)
      
      The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that
      use irqs (System p, System i, XEN).
      
      I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and
      free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also
      changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the
      spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops.
      
      Changes since last version:
      o remove ifdef
      o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified"
      o cleanups, sparse..
      
      I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I
      played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in
      a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer
      size constraints.
      
      I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access
      the irq_requested element.
      
      Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console
      for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties
      agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc.

      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.

      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] const struct tty_operations · b68e31d0
      Jeff Dike 提交于
      As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of
      structures in order to not have to document their locking.  One of these
      structures was a struct tty_operations.  In order to const it in UML
      without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of
      tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to
      be fixed.
      
      This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const.  In all
      cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations.  As an
      extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra
      warnings.
      
      53 drivers are affected.  I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in
      most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the
      last six months.  serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.
