由 Srivatsa S. Bhat 提交于
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the hpet code in x86 by using this latter form of callback registration.

While Linux itself has been calling hpet_disable() for quite a while, having e.g. a secondary (kexec) kernel depend on such behavior of the primary (crashed) environment is fragile. It particularly broke until very recently when the primary environment was Xen based, as that hypervisor did not clear any of the HPET settings it may have used. Rather than blindly (and incompletely) clearing certain HPET settings in hpet_disable(), latch the config register settings during boot and restore then here. (Note on the hpet_set_mode() change: Now that we're clearing the level bit upon initialization, there's no need anymore to do so here.)

由 Mark Langsdorf 提交于
When HPET is operating in RTC mode, the TN_ENABLE bit on timer1 controls whether the HPET or the RTC delivers interrupts to irq8. When the system goes into suspend, the RTC driver sends a signal to the HPET driver so that the HPET releases control of irq8, allowing the RTC to wake the system from suspend. The switchover is accomplished by a write to the HPET configuration registers which currently only occurs while servicing the HPET interrupt. On some systems, I have seen the system suspend before an HPET interrupt occurs, preventing the write to the HPET configuration register and leaving the HPET in control of the irq8. As the HPET is not active during suspend, it does not generate a wake signal and RTC alarms do not work. This patch forces the HPET driver to immediately transfer control of the irq8 channel to the RTC instead of waiting until the next interrupt event.

commit 995bd3bb (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty) chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed readback problems. After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further information. Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks. For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns value for the HPET clockevent accordingly.

Due to the overly intelligent design of HPETs, we need to workaround the problem that the compare value which we write is already behind the actual counter value at the point where the value hits the real compare register. This happens for two reasons: 1) We read out the counter, add the delta and write the result to the compare register. When a NMI or SMI hits between the read out and the write then the counter can be ahead of the event already 2) The write to the compare register is delayed by up to two HPET cycles in certain chipsets. We worked around this by reading back the compare register to make sure that the written value has hit the hardware. For certain ICH9+ chipsets this can require two readouts, as the first one can return the previous compare register value. That's bad performance wise for the normal case where the event is far enough in the future. As we already know that the write can be delayed by up to two cycles we can avoid the read back of the compare register completely if we make the decision whether the delta has elapsed already or not based on the following calculation: cmp = event - actual_count; If cmp is less than 8 HPET clock cycles, then we decide that the event has happened already and return -ETIME. That covers the above #1 and #2 problems which would cause a wait for HPET wraparound (~306 seconds).

This more or less reverts commits 08be9796 (x86: Force HPET readback_cmp for all ATI chipsets) and 30a564be (x86, hpet: Restrict read back to affected ATI chipsets) to the status of commit 8da854cb (x86, hpet: Erratum workaround for read after write of HPET comparator). The delta to commit 8da854cb is mostly comments and the change from WARN_ONCE to printk_once as we know the call path of this function already. This needs really in depth explanation: First of all the HPET design is a complete failure. Having a counter compare register which generates an interrupt on matching values forces the software to do at least one superfluous readback of the counter register. While it is nice in theory to program "absolute" time events it is practically useless because the timer runs at some absurd frequency which can never be matched to real world units. So we are forced to calculate a relative delta and this forces a readout of the actual counter value, adding the delta and programming the compare register. When the delta is small enough we run into the danger that we program a compare value which is already in the past. Due to the compare for equal nature of HPET we need to read back the counter value after writing the compare rehgister (btw. this is necessary for absolute timeouts as well) to make sure that we did not miss the timer event. We try to work around that by setting the minimum delta to a value which is larger than the theoretical time which elapses between the counter readout and the compare register write, but that's only true in theory. A NMI or SMI which hits between the readout and the write can easily push us beyond that limit. This would result in waiting for the next HPET timer interrupt until the 32bit wraparound of the counter happens which takes about 306 seconds. So we designed the next event function to look like: match = read_cnt() + delta; write_compare_ref(match); return read_cnt() < match ? 0 : -ETIME; At some point we got into trouble with certain ATI chipsets. Even the above "safe" procedure failed. The reason was that the write to the compare register was delayed probably for performance reasons. The theory was that they wanted to avoid the synchronization of the write with the HPET clock, which is understandable. So the write does not hit the compare register directly instead it goes to some intermediate register which is copied to the real compare register in sync with the HPET clock. That opens another window for hitting the dreaded "wait for a wraparound" problem. To work around that "optimization" we added a read back of the compare register which either enforced the update of the just written value or just delayed the readout of the counter enough to avoid the issue. We unfortunately never got any affirmative info from ATI/AMD about this. One thing is sure, that we nuked the performance "optimization" that way completely and I'm pretty sure that the result is worse than before some HW folks came up with those. Just for paranoia reasons I added a check whether the read back compare register value was the same as the value we wrote right before. That paranoia check triggered a couple of years after it was added on an Intel ICH9 chipset. Venki added a workaround (commit 8da854cb) which was reading the compare register twice when the first check failed. We considered this to be a penalty in general and restricted the readback (thus the wasted CPU cycles) to the known to be affected ATI chipsets. This turned out to be a utterly wrong decision. 2.6.35 testers experienced massive problems and finally one of them bisected it down to commit 30a564be which spured some further investigation. Finally we got confirmation that the write to the compare register can be delayed by up to two HPET clock cycles which explains the problems nicely. All we can do about this is to go back to Venki's initial workaround in a slightly modified version. Just for the record I need to say, that all of this could have been avoided if hardware designers and of course the HPET committee would have thought about the consequences for a split second. It's out of my comprehension why designing a working timer is so hard. There are two ways to achieve it: 1) Use a counter wrap around aware compare_reg <= counter_reg implementation instead of the easy compare_reg == counter_reg Downsides: - It needs more silicon. - It needs a readout of the counter to apply a relative timeout. This is necessary as the counter does not run in any useful (and adjustable) frequency and there is no guarantee that the counter which is used for timer events is the same which is used for reading the actual time (and therefor for calculating the delta) Upsides: - None 2) Use a simple down counter for relative timer events Downsides: - Absolute timeouts are not possible, which is not a problem at all in the context of an OS and the expected max. latencies/jitter (also see Downsides of #1) Upsides: - It needs less or equal silicon. - It works ALWAYS - It is way faster than a compare register based solution (One write versus one write plus at least one and up to four reads) I would not be so grumpy about all of this, if I would not have been ignored for many years when pointing out these flaws to various hardware folks. I really hate timers (at least those which seem to be designed by janitors). Though finally we got a reasonable explanation plus a solution and I want to thank all the folks involved in chasing it down and providing valuable input to this.

The current computation, introduced with f12a15be, of FSEC_PER_SEC using the multiplication of (FSEC_PER_NSEC * NSEC_PER_SEC) is performed only with 32bit integers on small machines, resulting in an overflow and a *very* short intervals being programmed. An interrupt storm follows. Note that we also have to specify FSEC_PER_SEC as being long long to overcome the same limitations.

After programming the HPET, we do a readback as a workaround for ATI/SBx00 chipsets as a synchronization. Unfortunately this triggers an erratum in newer ICH chipsets (ICH9+) where reading the comparator immediately after the write returns the old value. Furthermore, as always, I/O reads are bad for performance. Therefore, restrict the readback to the chipsets that need it, or, for debugging purposes, when we are running with hpet=verbose.

We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC. In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells the hpet code about it here: int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq) { uint64_t clc; if (!is_hpet_enabled()) return 0; if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq; else { clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC; do_div(clc, freq); clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift; hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc; } return 1; } If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero. Then, on every one-shot HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next timeout. Well, that function has this logic: if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit) delta = hpet_default_delta; else delta = hpet_pie_delta; Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used. That corresponds to 64Hz. Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets hpet_pie_limit back to 0. Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever. The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

This is a chipset erratum. Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for this particular erratum. Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most recently written value. Erratum 15 in "Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update" (http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf) Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first one fails.

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.
