A recent discussion started talking about the locking on the pstore fs and how it relates to the kmsg infrastructure. We noticed it was possible for userspace to r/w to the pstore fs (grabbing the locks in the process) and block the panic path from r/w to the same fs. The reason was the cpu with the lock could be doing work while the crashing cpu is panic'ing. Busting those spinlocks might cause those cpus to step on each other's data. Fine, fair enough. It was suggested it would be nice to serialize the panic path (ie stop the other cpus) and have only one cpu running. This would allow us to bust the spinlocks and not worry about another cpu stepping on the data. Of course, smp_send_stop() does this in the panic case. kmsg_dump() would have to be moved to be called after it. Easy enough. The only problem is on x86 the smp_send_stop() function calls the REBOOT_VECTOR. Any cpu with irqs disabled (which pstore and its backend ERST would do), block this IPI and thus do not stop. This makes it difficult to reliably log data to the pstore fs. The patch below switches from the REBOOT_VECTOR to NMI (and mimics what kdump does). Switching to NMI allows us to deliver the IPI when irqs are disabled, increasing the reliability of this function. However, Andi carefully noted that on some machines this approach does not work because of broken BIOSes or whatever. To help accomodate this, the next couple of patches will run a selftest and provide a knob to disable.

These files were implicitly getting EXPORT_SYMBOL via device.h which was including module.h, but that will be fixed up shortly. By fixing these now, we can avoid seeing things like: arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c:29: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL’ arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c:20: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL’ arch/x86/kernel/e820.c:69: warning: type defaults to ‘int’ in declaration of ‘EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL’ [ with input from Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> and also from Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> ] Signed-off-by: NPaul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on. In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI. This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and implements it as a NOP.

x86 smp_ops now has a new op, stop_other_cpus which takes a parameter "wait" this allows the caller to specify if it wants to stop until all the cpus have processed the stop IPI. This is required specifically for the kexec case where we should wait for all the cpus to be stopped before starting the new kernel. We now wait for the cpus to stop in all cases except for panic/kdump where we expect things to be broken and we are doing our best to make things work anyway. This patch fixes a legitimate regression, which was introduced during 2.6.30, by commit id 4ef702c1.

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.

This reverts commit 9bcbdd9c. The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in: f5dc3753: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency, this could cause a performance regression. The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more often.

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using iwlagn. It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible. The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that: 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up. I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec range.

KVM uses a function call IPI to cause the exit of a guest running on a physical cpu. For virtual interrupt notification there is no need to wait on IPI receival, or to execute any function. This is exactly what the reschedule IPI does, without the overhead of function IPI. So use it instead of smp_call_function_single in kvm_vcpu_kick. Also change the "guest_mode" variable to a bit in vcpu->requests, and use that to collapse multiple IPI's that would be issued between the first one and zeroing of guest mode. This allows kvm_vcpu_kick to called with interrupts disabled. Signed-off-by: NMarcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NAvi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(), producing ugly backtraces and confusing users. This is a common situation with machine checks for example which tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which would be bad. This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function, which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other CPUs. On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex system state. I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the underlying complexity problems. The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution because panic has to be reliable. So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be called from interupts off region because it is very very simple. There can be situations where it is important that panic is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and all function it calls simple. This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme. It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not particularly precious anymore since all big systems are using per CPU vectors. Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for using a non NMI vector for now. I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down instead into the next lower priority.

Impact: really halt all CPUs on halt Function machine_halt (resp. native_machine_halt) is empty for x86 architectures. When command 'halt -f' is invoked, the message "System halted." is displayed but this is not really true because all CPUs are still running. There are also similar inconsistencies for other arches (some uses power-off for halt or forever-loop with IRQs enabled/disabled). IMO there should be used the same approach for all architectures OR what does the message "System halted" really mean? This patch fixes it for x86.

After resume on a 2cpu laptop, kernel builds collapse with a sed hang, sh or make segfault (often on 20295564), real-time signal to cc1 etc. Several hurdles to jump, but a manually-assisted bisect led to -rc1's d2bcbad5 x86: do not zap_low_mappings in __smp_prepare_cpus. Though the low mappings were removed at bootup, they were left behind (with Global flags helping to keep them in TLB) after resume or cpu online, causing the crashes seen. Reinstate zap_low_mappings (with local __flush_tlb_all) for each cpu_up on x86_32. This used to be serialized by smp_commenced_mask: that's now gone, but a low_mappings flag will do. No need for native_smp_cpus_done to repeat the zap: let mem_init zap BSP's low mappings just like on UP. (In passing, fix error code from native_cpu_up: do_boot_cpu returns a variety of diagnostic values, Dprintk what it says but convert to -EIO. And save_pg_dir separately before zap_low_mappings: doesn't matter now, but zapping twice in succession wiped out resume's swsusp_pg_dir.) That worked well on the duo and one quad, but wouldn't boot 3rd or 4th cpu on P4 Xeon, oopsing just after unlock_ipi_call_lock. The TLB flush IPI now being sent reveals a long-standing bug: the booting cpu has its APIC readied in smp_callin at the top of start_secondary, but isn't put into the cpu_online_map until just before that unlock_ipi_call_lock. So native_smp_call_function_mask to online cpus would send_IPI_allbutself, including the cpu just coming up, though it has been excluded from the count to wait for: by the time it handles the IPI, the call data on native_smp_call_function_mask's stack may well have been overwritten. So fall back to send_IPI_mask while cpu_online_map does not match cpu_callout_map: perhaps there's a better APICological fix to be made at the start_secondary end, but I wouldn't know that.
