2008-07-18nohz: prevent tick stop outside of the idle loopThomas Gleixner
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.

2008-07-02avr32: Cover the kernel page tables in the user PGDsHaavard Skinnemoen
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.

2008-07-02avr32: Store virtual addresses in the PGDHaavard Skinnemoen
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. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <haavard.skinnemoen@atmel.com>

2008-06-27avr32: Fix sigaltstack behaviourMartin Koegler
A signal handler should be able to change the signal stack used for the next signal by altering the ucontext_t passed as a parameter to the handler. This does not currently work on avr32 since it doesn't update the in-kernel signal context from the ucontext_t upon signal handler return. Fix it by adding a call to do_sigaltstack() from sys_rt_sigreturn(), bringing it in line with most other architectures.

2008-05-03unified (weak) sys_pipe implementationUlrich Drepper
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.

2008-04-28atmel_lcdfb: don't initialize a pre-allocated framebufferHaavard Skinnemoen
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.

2008-04-19avr32: Generic clockevents supportDavid Brownell
This combines three patches from David Brownell: * 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.

Add comment about the problem using the cycle counter register, and adjust the clocksource rating accordingly. Later patches can make this usable again (by disabling use of the idle state and providing a proper clocksource without the weak binding hacks) and move towards TCB-based clockevent support (including high resolution timers) that's shared between AT91 and AVR32.

2008-02-27avr32: Fix OCD refcounting bugHaavard Skinnemoen
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 ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at arch/avr32/kernel/ocd.c:73 PC is at ocd_disable+0x34/0x60 LR is at put_lock_stats+0xa/0x20 as reported by David Brownell.

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.

2008-01-25[AVR32] Enable debugging only when neededHaavard Skinnemoen
Keep track of processes being debugged (including the kernel itself) and turn the OCD system on and off as appropriate. Since enabling debugging turns off some optimizations in the CPU core, this fixes the issue that enabling KProbes support or simply running a program under gdbserver will reduce system performance significantly until the next reboot. The CPU performance will still be reduced for all processes while a process is being debugged, but this is a lot better than reducing the performance forever.

2007-12-07[AVR32] Follow the rules when dealing with the OCD systemHaavard Skinnemoen
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.

2007-12-07[AVR32] Clean up OCD register usageHaavard Skinnemoen
Generate a new set of OCD register definitions in asm/ocd.h and rename __mfdr() and __mtdr() to ocd_read() and ocd_write() respectively. The bitfield definitions are a lot more complete now, and they are entirely based on bit numbers, not masks. This is because OCD registers are frequently accessed from assembly code, where bit numbers are a lot more useful (can be fed directly to sbr, bfins, 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. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into is_global_init() and is_container_init(). A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1. A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace, compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes. Changelog: 2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1: - Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance and remove dependence on the task_pid(). 2.6.21-mm2-pidns2: - [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc, ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init(). This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a bug rather than force a kernel panic.

In the interrupt handlers, check if we are interrupting the srrf instruction, if so disable interrupts and return. The interrupt handler will be re-called immediatly when the interrupts are reenabled. After some stressing workload: - find / > /dev/null in loop - top (in ssh) - ping -f avr32 The segfaults are not seen anymore.

2007-10-11[AVR32] Remove unneeded 8K alignment of .text sectionHaavard Skinnemoen
__init_end, which comes immediately before .text, is already page aligned, and that should be more than enough for the .text section. The reason why we need to align the .text section is because the interrupt handler offset is ORed with EVBA, so we need to provide enough alignment of EVBA that this OR operation works as an ADD. Currently, the last interrupt handler is not nearly a full page away from EVBA, so it won't be a problem. Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com>
