      sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function · 4a0b2b4d
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
      functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
      by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
      passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
      and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.
      
      I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
      machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.
      
      I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
      huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.
      
      Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
      Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
      Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

      nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loop · b8f8c3cf
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
      problem in the NOHZ code:
      
      	scheduler switch to idle task
      	enable interrupts
      
      Window starts here
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
      	      	irq_exit() stops the tick
      
      	----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
      
      	return from schedule()
      	
      	cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
      
      Window ends here
      
      The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
      first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
      rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
      disabled.
      
      The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
      NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
      hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
      
      Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
      that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
      
      cpu_idle()
      {
      	preempt_disable();
      
      	while(1) {
      		 tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
      		 			          are in the idle loop
      
      		 while (!need_resched())
      		       halt();
      
      		 tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
      		 preempt_enable_no_resched();
      		 schedule();
      		 preempt_disable();
      	}
      }
      
      In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ... 
      
      /me grabs a large brown paperbag.

      avr32: Cover the kernel page tables in the user PGDs · a9a934f2
      Haavard Skinnemoen 提交于
      Expand the per-process PGDs so that they cover the kernel virtual
      memory area as well. This simplifies the TLB miss handler fastpath
      since it doesn't have to check for kernel addresses anymore.
      
      If a TLB miss happens on a kernel address and a second-level page
      table can't be found, we check swapper_pg_dir and copy the PGD entry
      into the user PGD if it can be found there.

      avr32: Store virtual addresses in the PGD · cfd23e93
      Haavard Skinnemoen 提交于
      Instead of storing physical addresses along with page flags in the
      PGD, store virtual addresses and use NULL to indicate a not present
      second-level page table. A non-page-aligned page table indicates a bad
      PMD.
      
      This simplifies the TLB miss handler since it no longer has to check
      the Present bit and no longer has to convert the PGD entry from
      physical to virtual address. Instead, it has to check for a NULL
      entry, which is slightly cheaper than either.

      unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation · d35c7b0e
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
      one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
      code.
      
      It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
      default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
      version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
      the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
      implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
      
      I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
      isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
      no obstacles.

      atmel_lcdfb: don't initialize a pre-allocated framebuffer · 01d3a5e7
      Haavard Skinnemoen 提交于
      If the user specified a fixed framebuffer address on the command line, it may
      have been initialized already with a splash image or something, so we
      shouldn't clear it.
      
      Therefore, we should only initialize the framebuffer if we allocated it
      ourselves.  This patch also updates the AVR32 setup code to clear the
      framebuffer if it allocated it itself, i.e.  the user didn't provide a fixed
      address or the reservation failed.
      
      I've updated the at91 platform code as well so that it initializes the
      framebuffer if it is located in SRAM, but I haven't tested that it actually
      works.

      avr32: Generic clockevents support · e723ff66

        * avr32: tclib support
        * avr32: simplify clocksources
        * avr32: Turn count/compare into a oneshot clockevent device
      
      Register both TC blocks (instead of just the first one) so that
      the AT32/AT91 tclib code will pick them up (instead of just the
      avr32-only PIT-style clocksource).
      
      Rename the first one and its resources appropriately.
      
      More cleanups to the cycle counter clocksource code
      
       - Disable all the weak symbol magic; remove the AVR32-only TCB-based
         clocksource code (source and header).
      
       - Mark the __init code properly.
      
       - Don't forget to report IRQF_TIMER.
      
       - Make the system work properly with this clocksource, by preventing
         use of the CPU "idle" sleep state in the idle loop when it's used.
      
      Package the avr32 count/compare timekeeping support as a oneshot
      clockevent device, so it supports NO_HZ and high res timers.
      This means it also supports plugging in other clockevent devices
      and clocksources.

      avr32: Fix OCD refcounting bug · 325d6f55
      Haavard Skinnemoen 提交于
      Iff the parent has TIF_DEBUG set, _and_ clone_flags includes
      CLONE_PTRACE we should set the TIF_DEBUG flag for the child and
      increment the ocd refcount. Otherwise, the TIF_DEBUG flag must be
      unset.
      
      Currently, the child inherits TIF_DEBUG from the parent before
      copy_thread is called, so TIF_DEBUG may be already be set before we
      determine whether the child is supposed to inherit debugging
      capabilities from the parent or not. This means that ocd_enable()
      won't increment the refcount, because TIF_DEBUG is already set, and
      that TIF_DEBUG will be set for processes that aren't being debugged.
      
      This leads to a refcounting asymmetry, which may show up as

      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the

      This patch:
      
      Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
      If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
      has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
      
      Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition

      [AVR32] Follow the rules when dealing with the OCD system · 2507bc13
      Haavard Skinnemoen 提交于
      The current debug trap handling code does a number of things that are
      illegal according to the AVR32 Architecture manual. Most importantly,
      it may try to schedule from Debug Mode, thus clearing the D bit, which
      can lead to "undefined behaviour".
      
      It seems like this works in most cases, but several people have
      observed somewhat unstable behaviour when debugging programs,
      including soft lockups. So there's definitely something which is not
      right with the existing code.
      
      The new code will never schedule from Debug mode, it will always exit
      Debug mode with a "retd" instruction, and if something not running in
      Debug mode needs to do something debug-related (like doing a single
      step), it will enter debug mode through a "breakpoint" instruction.
      The monitor code will then return directly to user space, bypassing
      its own saved registers if necessary (since we don't actually care
      about the trapped context, only the one that came before.)
      
      This adds three instructions to the common exception handling code,
      including one branch. It does not touch super-hot paths like the TLB
      miss handler.

      etc.)
      
      Bitfields that consist of more than one bit have two definitions:
      _START, which indicates the number of the first bit, and _SIZE, which
      indicates the number of bits. These directly correspond to the
      parameters taken by the bfextu, bfexts and bfins instructions.
