      of/mdio: Add support function for Ethernet fixed-link property · 24c30dbb
      Anton Vorontsov 提交于
      Fixed-link support is broken for the ucc_eth, gianfar, and fs_enet
      device drivers.  The "OF MDIO rework" patches removed most of the
      support. Instead of re-adding fixed-link stuff to the drivers, this
      patch adds a support function for parsing the fixed-link property
      and obtaining a dummy phy to match.
      
      Note: the dummy phy handling in arch/powerpc is a bit of a hack and
      needs to be reworked.  This function is being added now to solve the
      regression in the Ethernet drivers, but it should be considered a
      temporary measure until the fixed link handling can be reworked.

      perf_counter: PERF_SAMPLE_ID and inherited counters · 7f453c24
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      Anton noted that for inherited counters the counter-id as provided by
      PERF_SAMPLE_ID isn't mappable to the id found through PERF_RECORD_ID
      because each inherited counter gets its own id.
      
      His suggestion was to always return the parent counter id, since that
      is the primary counter id as exposed. However, these inherited
      counters have a unique identifier so that events like
      PERF_EVENT_PERIOD and PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE can be specific about which
      counter gets modified, which is important when trying to normalize the
      sample streams.
      
      This patch removes PERF_EVENT_PERIOD in favour of PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD,
      which is more useful anyway, since changing periods became a lot more
      common than initially thought -- rendering PERF_EVENT_PERIOD the less
      useful solution (also, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD reports the more accurate
      value, since it reports the value used to trigger the overflow,
      whereas PERF_EVENT_PERIOD simply reports the requested period changed,
      which might only take effect on the next cycle).
      
      This still leaves us PERF_EVENT_THROTTLE to consider, but since that
      _should_ be a rare occurrence, and linking it to a primary id is the
      most useful bit to diagnose the problem, we introduce a
      PERF_SAMPLE_STREAM_ID, for those few cases where the full
      reconstruction is important.

      softirq: introduce tasklet_hrtimer infrastructure · 9ba5f005

      commit ca109491 (hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes) moved all
      hrtimer callbacks into hard interrupt context when high resolution
      timers are active. That breaks code which relied on the assumption
      that the callback happens in softirq context.
      
      Provide a generic infrastructure which combines tasklets and hrtimers
      together to provide an in-softirq hrtimer experience.

      one global IN_IGNORED event and allocate them one at a time.  This solves
      current issues with multiple IN_IGNORED on a queue having tail drop
      problems and simplifies the allocations since we don't have to worry about
      two tasks opperating on the IGNORED event concurrently.

      genirq: Delegate irq affinity setting to the irq thread · 591d2fb0
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      irq_set_thread_affinity() calls set_cpus_allowed_ptr() which might
      sleep, but irq_set_thread_affinity() is called with desc->lock held
      and can be called from hard interrupt context as well. The code has
      another bug as it does not hold a ref on the task struct as required
      by set_cpus_allowed_ptr().
      
      Just set the IRQTF_AFFINITY bit in action->thread_flags. The next time
      the thread runs it migrates itself. Solves all of the above problems
      nicely.

      sched: fix nr_uninterruptible accounting of frozen tasks really · 6301cb95
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      commit e3c8ca83 (sched: do not count frozen tasks toward load) broke
      the nr_uninterruptible accounting on freeze/thaw. On freeze the task
      is excluded from accounting with a check for (task->flags &
      PF_FROZEN), but that flag is cleared before the task is thawed. So
      while we prevent that the task with state TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
      is accounted to nr_uninterruptible on freeze we decrement
      nr_uninterruptible on thaw.
      
      Use a separate flag which is handled by the freezing task itself. Set
      it before calling the scheduler with TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state and
      clear it after we return from frozen state.

      Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to
      be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not
      make much sence. Currently it was set only by ext3_getblk().  Since the
      parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check that the
      three callers which end up calling ext3_getblk() with create == 1 (ext3_append,
      ext3_quota_write, ext3_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

      hrtimer: Fix migration expiry check · 6ff7041d
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The timer migration expiry check should prevent the migration of a
      timer to another CPU when the timer expires before the next event is
      scheduled on the other CPU. Migrating the timer might delay it because
      we can not reprogram the clock event device on the other CPU. But the
      code implementing that check has two flaws:
      
      - for !HIGHRES the check compares the expiry value with the clock
        events device expiry value which is wrong for CLOCK_REALTIME based
        timers.
      
      - the check is racy. It holds the hrtimer base lock of the target CPU,
        but the clock event device expiry value can be modified
        nevertheless, e.g. by an timer interrupt firing.
      
      The !HIGHRES case is easy to fix as we can enqueue the timer on the
      cpu which was selected by the load balancer. It runs the idle
      balancing code once per jiffy anyway. So the maximum delay for the
      timer is the same as when we keep the tick on the current cpu going.
      
      In the HIGHRES case we can get the next expiry value from the hrtimer
      cpu_base of the target CPU and serialize the update with the cpu_base
      lock. This moves the lock section in hrtimer_interrupt() so we can set
      next_event to KTIME_MAX while we are handling the expired timers and
      set it to the next expiry value after we handled the timers under the
      base lock. While the expired timers are processed timer migration is
      blocked because the expiry time of the timer is always <= KTIME_MAX.
      
      Also remove the now useless clockevents_get_next_event() function.

      elf: fix multithreaded program core dumping on arm · a65e7bfc
      Hui Zhu 提交于
      Fix the multithread program core thread message error.
      
      This issue affects arches with neither has CORE_DUMP_USE_REGSET nor
      ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS, ARM is one of them.
      
      The thread message of core file is generated in elf_dump_thread_status.
      The register values is set by elf_core_copy_task_regs in this function.
      
      If an arch doesn't define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS,
      elf_core_copy_task_regs() will do nothing.  Then the core file will not
      have the register message of thread.
      
      So add elf_core_copy_regs to set regiser values if ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS
      doesn't define.
      
      The following is how to reproduce this issue:
