      stop_machine: reimplement using cpu_stop · 3fc1f1e2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Reimplement stop_machine using cpu_stop.  As cpu stoppers are
      guaranteed to be available for all online cpus,
      stop_machine_create/destroy() are no longer necessary and removed.
      
      With resource management and synchronization handled by cpu_stop, the
      new implementation is much simpler.  Asking the cpu_stop to execute
      the stop_cpu() state machine on all online cpus with cpu hotplug
      disabled is enough.
      
      stop_machine itself doesn't need to manage any global resources
      anymore, so all per-instance information is rolled into struct
      stop_machine_data and the mutex and all static data variables are
      removed.
      
      The previous implementation created and destroyed RT workqueues as
      necessary which made stop_machine() calls highly expensive on very
      large machines.  According to Dimitri Sivanich, preventing the dynamic
      creation/destruction makes booting faster more than twice on very
      large machines.  cpu_stop resources are preallocated for all online
      cpus and should have the same effect.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp · 0696b711
      Lin Ming 提交于
      Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
      to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
      the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
      NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.
      
      This causes user space observerable time warps:
      new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs,  00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf
      
      Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the
      timekeeping internal NTP adjusted multiplier.

      [S390] clock sync mode flags · 8283cb43
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The clock sync mode flag CLOCK_SYNC_STP is not cleared when stp
      is set offline. In this case the get_sync_clock() function returns
      -EACCESS and the dasd driver will block all i/o until stp is enabled
      again. In addition get_sync_clock can return -EACCESS if the clock is
      not in sync instead of -EAGAIN.
      
      Rework the stp/etr online handling to fix these problems.

      [S390] etr/stp: fix possible deadlock · 179cb81a
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Precreate stop_machine threads in case the machine supports ETR/STP.
      Otherwise we might deadlock if a time sync operation gets scheduled
      and the creation of stop_machine threads would cause disk I/O.
      This is just the minimal fix.
      The real fix would be to only precreate stop_machine threads if
      ETR/STP is actually used. But that would be a rather large and
      complicated patch.

      ..
      
      The s390 implementation of sched_clock uses the store clock instruction and
      subtracts jiffies_timer_cc.
      jiffies_timer_cc is a local variable in arch/s390/kernel/time.c and only used
      for sched_clock and monotonic clock. For historical reasons there is an offset
      on that value. With todays code this offset is unnecessary. By removing that
      offset we can get a sched_clock which returns the nanoseconds after time_init.
      This improves CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME.
      
      Since sched_clock is the only user, I have also renamed jiffies_timer_cc to
      sched_clock_base_cc. In addition, the local variable init_timer_cc is redundant
      and can be romved as well.

      [S390] nohz: Fix __udelay. · d3d238c7
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857
      ("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
      If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
      to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
      the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
      doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
      
      In addition this patch fixes also the following:
      
      rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
      since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
      
      NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
      NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
      NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
      NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
      
      To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
      is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
      Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

      sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function · 4a0b2b4d

      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.
