      [PATCH] m32r: update sys_tas() routine · cf535ea5
      Hirokazu Takata 提交于
      This patch updates and fixes sys_tas() routine for m32r.
      
      In the previous implementation, a lockup rarely caused at sys_tas()
      routine in SMP environment.

      I rewrote sys_tas() routine by using "lock -> unlock" instructions, and
      utilizing the m32r's interrupt handling characteristics; the m32r processor
      can accept interrupts only at the 32-bit instruction boundary.  So, the
      "unlock" instruction can be executed continuously after the "lock"
      instruction execution without any interruptions.
      
      In addition, to solve such a page_fault problem, I use a fixup code like
      get_user().
      
      And, as for the kernel lockup problem, we found that a calling
      do_page_fault() routine with disabling interrupts might cause a lockup at
      flush_tlb_others(), because we checked a completion of IPI handler's
      operations in a spin-locked critical section.
      
      Therefore, by using "lock -> unlock" code, we can implement the sys_tas()
      rouitine without disabling interrupts explicitly, then no lockups would
      happen at flush_tlb_others(), I hope.
      
      Compile check and some working test in SMP environment have done.

      [PATCH] Don't attempt to power off if power off is not implemented · 5e38291d
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      The problem.  It is expected that /sbin/halt -p works exactly like
      /sbin/halt, when the kernel does not implement power off functionality.
      
      The kernel can do a lot of work in the reboot notifiers and in
      device_shutdown before we even get to machine_power_off.  Some of that
      shutdown is not safe if you are leaving the power on, and it definitely
      gets in the way of using sysrq or pressing ctrl-alt-del.  Since the
      shutdown happens in generic code there is no way to fix this in
      architecture specific code :(
      
      Some machines are kernel oopsing today because of this.
      
      The simple solution is to turn LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF into
      LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT if power_off functionality is not implemented.
      
      This has the unfortunate side effect of disabling the power off
      functionality on architectures that leave pm_power_off to null and still
      implement something in machine_power_off.  And it will break the build on
      some architectures that don't have a pm_power_off variable at all.
      
      On both counts I say tough.
      
      For architectures like alpha that don't implement the pm_power_off variable
      pm_power_off is declared in linux/pm.h and it is a generic part of our
      power management code, and all architectures should implement it.
      
      For architectures like parisc that have a default power off method in
      machine_power_off if pm_power_off is not implemented or fails.  It is easy
      enough to set the pm_power_off variable.  And nothing bad happens there,
      the machines just stop powering off.
      
      The current semantics are impossible without a flag at the top level so we
      can avoid the problem code if a power off is not implemented.  pm_power_off
      is as good a flag as any with the bonus that it works without modification
      on at least x86, x86_64, powerpc, and ppc today.
      
      Andrew can you pick this up and put this in the mm tree.  Kernels that
      don't compile or don't power off seem saner than kernels that oops or
      panic.  Until we get the arch specific patches for the problem
      architectures this probably isn't smart to push into the stable kernel.
      Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to walk through every
      architecture and make them work.  And even if I did I couldn't test it :(

      [PATCH] use ptrace_get_task_struct in various places · 6b9c7ed8
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      The ptrace_get_task_struct() helper that I added as part of the ptrace
      consolidation is useful in variety of places that currently opencode it.
      Switch them to the common helpers.
      
      Add a ptrace_traceme() helper that needs to be explicitly called, and simplify
      the ptrace_get_task_struct() interface.  We don't need the request argument
      now, and we return the task_struct directly, using ERR_PTR() for error
      returns.  It's a bit more code in the callers, but we have two sane routines
      that do one thing well now.

      [PATCH] m32r: Fix sys_tas() syscall · 91f4ab05
      Hirokazu Takata 提交于
      This patch fixes a deadlock problem of the m32r SMP kernel.
      
      In the m32r kernel, sys_tas() system call is provided as a test-and-set
      function for userspace, for backward compatibility.
      
      In some multi-threading application program, deadlocks were rarely caused
      at sys_tas() funcion.  Such a deadlock was caused due to a collision of
      __pthread_lock() and __pthread_unlock() operations.
      
      The "tas" syscall is repeatedly called by pthread_mutex_lock() to get a
      lock, while a lock variable's value is not 0.  On the other hand,
      pthead_mutex_unlock() sets the lock variable to 0 for unlocking.
      
      In the previous implementation of sys_tas() routine, there was a
      possibility that a unlock operation was ignored in the following case:
      
      - Assume a lock variable (*addr) was equal to 1 before sys_tas() execution.
      - __pthread_unlock() operation is executed by the other processor
        and the lock variable (*addr) is set to 0, between a read operation
        ("oldval = *addr;") and the following write operation ("*addr = 1;")
        during a execution of sys_tas().
      
      In this case, the following write operation ("*addr = 1;") overwrites the
      __pthread_unlock() result, and sys_tas() fails to get a lock in the next
      turn and after that.
      
      According to the attatched patch, sys_tas() returns 0 value in the next
      turn and deadlocks never happen.

      [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasks · 5bfb5d69
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
      
      Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
      How did it ever work before?
      
      Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
      
      We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
      need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
      
      After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
      into the idle thread and goes to sleep.  The CPU will continue executing
      previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
      
      By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
      fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h

      [PATCH] convert signal handling of NODEFER to act like other Unix boxes. · 69be8f18
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      It has been reported that the way Linux handles NODEFER for signals is
      not consistent with the way other Unix boxes handle it.  I've written a
      program to test the behavior of how this flag affects signals and had
      several reports from people who ran this on various Unix boxes,
      confirming that Linux seems to be unique on the way this is handled.
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on other Unix boxes is as follows:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals in sa_mask are still blocked.
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal is
      still blocked. (Note: this is the behavior of all tested but Linux _and_
      NetBSD 2.0 *).
      
      The way NODEFER affects signals on Linux:
      
      1) If NODEFER is set, other signals are _not_ blocked regardless of
      sa_mask (Even NetBSD doesn't do this).
      
      2) If NODEFER is set and the signal is in sa_mask, then the signal being
      handled is not blocked.
      
      The patch converts signal handling in all current Linux architectures to
      the way most Unix boxes work.
      
      Unix boxes that were tested:  DU4, AIX 5.2, Irix 6.5, NetBSD 2.0, SFU
      3.5 on WinXP, AIX 5.3, Mac OSX, and of course Linux 2.6.13-rcX.
      
      * NetBSD was the only other Unix to behave like Linux on point #2. The
      main concern was brought up by point #1 which even NetBSD isn't like
      Linux.  So with this patch, we leave NetBSD as the lonely one that
      behaves differently here with #2.

      [PATCH] m32r: Fix local-timer event handling · 2757a71c
      Hirokazu Takata 提交于
      There was a scheduling problem of the m32r SMP kernel; A process rarely
      stopped and gave no responding but the other process have been handled by
      the other CPU still lives, then if we did something in the other terminal
      or something like that, the stopped process came back to life and continued
      its operation...  (ex.  LMbench: lat_sig)
      
      In the m32r SMP kernel, a local-timer event is delivered by using an
      IPI(inter processor interrupts); LOCAL_TIMER_IPI.  And a function
      smp_send_timer() is prepared to send the LOCAL_TIMER_IPI from the current
      CPU to the other CPUs.
      
      The funtion smp_send_timer() was placed and used in do_IRQ() in
      former times (before 2.6.10-rc3-mm1 kernel), however, it was
      unintentionally removed when arch/m32r/kernel/irq.c was modified to
      employ the generic hardirq framework (CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ) in
      my previous patch.

      3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
      
      4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
      
      5. Some whitespace cleanup
      
      6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
         cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
         PF_FROZEN).
      
      This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
      that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
      in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
