2008-09-10[IA64] prevent ia64 from invoking irq handlers on offline CPUsPaul E. McKenney
Make ia64 refrain from clearing a given to-be-offlined CPU's bit in the cpu_online_mask until it has processed pending irqs. This change prevents other CPUs from being blindsided by an apparently offline CPU nevertheless changing globally visible state. Also remove the existing redundant cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_online_map).

2008-09-08kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifierManfred Spraul
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs. Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map. The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers. Tested on x86-64. All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got it right.

2008-08-25[IA64] Fix ia64 build failure when CONFIG_SFC=mRobin Holt
CONFIG_SFC=m uses topology_core_siblings() which, for ia64, expects cpu_core_map to be exported. It is not. This patch exports the needed symbol. Maintainers note: This really looks like the wrong thing to do ... it would be much better for the kernel to export an API to provide drivers like this with data they need (which in the case of this driver seems to be an estimate of the effective parallelism available on the platform). But x86 has exported this forever ... so go with the flow until such an API is defined.

2008-08-12[IA64] Ensure cpu0 can access per-cpu variables in early boot codeTony Luck
ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without the kernel printing anything to the console. Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before calling any generic code. Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64 Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

Clean up the process for presenting the "physical id" field in /proc/cpuinfo. - remove global smp_num_cpucores, as it is mostly useless - remove check_for_logical_procs(), since we do the same functionality in identify_siblings() - reflow logic in identify_siblings(). If an older CPU does not implement PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL, we may still be able to get useful information from SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO - in identify_siblings(), threads/cores are a property of the CPU, not the platform - remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread capability in identify_siblings(), as that information is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for the BSP only adds little value - smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the system supports threads, not just the BSP - expose "physical id" field, even on CPUs that are not multi-core / multi-threaded (as long as we have a valid value).

The irq == vector relationship between irqs and vectors is explicitly remained for percpu interrupts, platform interrupts, isa IRQs and vectors assigned using assign_irq_vector() because some programs might depend on it.

2006-06-29[PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar
This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

2005-11-09[PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin
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.

2005-06-25[PATCH] i386 CPU hotplugZwane Mwaikambo
(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing) The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390 and ppc64 to account for this change. 1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU 2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus. 3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down. 4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus. 5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus. 6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online. 7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside. 8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others(). 9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down. 10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die(). 11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs() 12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus. 13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

2005-04-22[IA64] cpu hotplug: return offlined cpus to SALAshok Raj
This patch is required to support cpu removal for IPF systems. Existing code just fakes the real offline by keeping it run the idle thread, and polling for the bit to re-appear in the cpu_state to get out of the idle loop. For the cpu-offline to work correctly, we need to pass control of this CPU back to SAL so it can continue in the boot-rendez mode. This gives the SAL control to not pick this cpu as the monarch processor for global MCA events, and addition does not wait for this cpu to checkin with SAL for global MCA events as well.
