2008-02-19[MIPS] Wire up the timerfd_*() o32 system callsDmitri Vorobiev
This patch enables the system calls timerfd_create(), timerfd_settime() and timerfd_gettime() for MIPS architecture. Please see the following Bugzilla entry for more details: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10038 This was tested using a Malta 4Kc board in both little-endian and big-endian modes. The unit test program is available from the URL above.

2008-02-14Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}Jan Blunck
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata. Together with the other patches of this series - it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on <dentry,vfsmount> pairs - it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed - it reduces the overall code size: without patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5321639 858418 715768 6895825 6938d1 vmlinux with patch series: text data bss dec hex filename 5320026 858418 715768 6894212 693284 vmlinux This patch: Switch from nd->{dentry,mnt} to nd->path.{dentry,mnt} everywhere.

2008-02-07Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle
This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. 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. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

2008-02-06get rid of NR_OPEN and introduce a sysctl_nr_openEric Dumazet
NR_OPEN (historically set to 1024*1024) actually forbids processes to open more than 1024*1024 handles. Unfortunatly some production servers hit the not so 'ridiculously high value' of 1024*1024 file descriptors per process. Changing NR_OPEN is not considered safe because of vmalloc space potential exhaust. This patch introduces a new sysctl (/proc/sys/fs/nr_open) wich defaults to 1024*1024, so that admins can decide to change this limit if their workload needs it.

2008-02-05timerfd: new timerfd APIDavide Libenzi
This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch: int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags); int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *utmr, struct itimerspec *otmr); int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr); The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd. The "clockid" parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not NULL). The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit is set in the "flags" parameter. Otherwise it's a relative time. The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet. Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are supported (with the same interface). Here's a simple test program I used to exercise the new timerfd APIs: http://www.xmailserver.org/timerfd-test2.c [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix ia64 build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix m68k build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix mips build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix alpha, arm, blackfin, cris, m68k, s390, sparc and sparc64 builds] [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: fix s390] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix powerpc build] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix sparc64 more] Signed-off-by: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk-manpages@gmx.net> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: Davide Libenzi <davidel@xmailserver.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Commit 312b1485fb509c9bc32eda28ad29537896658cb8 made __INIT_REFOK expand into .section .section ".ref.text", "ax". Since the assembler doesn't tolerate stuttering in the source that broke all MIPS builds. Since with this change Sam downgraded __INIT_REFOK the best fix is to get replace it by the modern days operator.

2008-01-29[MIPS] R4000/R4400 daddiu erratum workaroundMaciej W. Rozycki
This complements the generic R4000/R4400 errata workaround code and adds bits for the daddiu problem. In most places it just modifies handwritten assembly code so that the assembler is allowed to use a temporary register as daddiu may now be treated as a macro that expands to a sequence of li and daddu. It is the AT register or, where AT is unavailable or used explicitly for another purpose, an explicitly-named register is selected, using the .set at=<reg> feature added recently to gas. This feature is only used if CONFIG_CPU_DADDI_WORKAROUNDS has been set, so if the workaround remains disabled, the required version of binutils stays unchanged. Similarly, daddiu instructions put in branch delay slots in noreorder fragments are now taken out of them and the assembler is allowed to reorder them itself as possible (which it does making the whole idea of scheduling them into delay slots manually questionable). Also in the very few places where such a simple conversion was not possible, a handcoded longer sequence is implemented. Other than that there are changes to code responsible for building the TLB fault and page clear/copy handlers to avoid daddiu as appropriate. These are only effective if the erratum is verified to be present at the run time. Finally there is a trivial update to __delay(), because it uses daddiu in a branch delay slot.

2008-01-29[MIPS] R4000/R4400 errata workaroundsMaciej W. Rozycki
This is the gereric part of R4000/R4400 errata workarounds. They include compiler and assembler support as well as some source code modifications to address the problems with some combinations of multiply/divide+shift instructions as well as the daddi and daddiu instructions. Changes included are as follows: 1. New Kconfig options to select workarounds by platforms as necessary. 2. Arch top-level Makefile to pass necessary options to the compiler; also incompatible configurations are detected (-mno-sym32 unsupported as horribly intrusive for little gain). 3. Bug detection updated and shuffled -- the multiply/divide+shift problem is lethal enough that if not worked around it makes the kernel crash in time_init() because of a division by zero; the daddiu erratum might also trigger early potentially, though I have not observed it. On the other hand the daddi detection code requires the exception subsystem to have been initialised (and is there mainly for information). 4. r4k_daddiu_bug() added so that the existence of the erratum can be queried by code at the run time as necessary; useful for generated code like TLB fault and copy/clear page handlers. 5. __udelay() updated as it uses multiplication in inline assembly. Note that -mdaddi requires modified toolchain (which has been maintained by myself and available from my site for ~4years now -- versions covered are GCC 2.95.4 - 4.1.2 and binutils from 2.13 onwards). The -mfix-r4000 and -mfix-r4400 have been standard for a while though. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The new API guarantees protection against the cpu-hotplug operation, but it doesn't guarantee serialized access to any of the local data structures. Hence the changes needs to be reviewed.

2007-11-26[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register.Ralf Baechle
The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will be generated. This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent. So a simple workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the affected CPUs. This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents; at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented and tested. Another thing to find out is which processor versions exactly are affected. I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0 available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken. This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

2007-11-15[MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.Ralf Baechle
This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU interrupt pins on an SMP system. Typically the scenario is most easily triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor. CPU A CPU B do_IRQ() generic_handle_irq() handle_level_irq() spin_lock(desc_lock) set IRQ_INPROGRESS spin_unlock(desc_lock) do_IRQ() generic_handle_irq() handle_level_irq() spin_lock(desc_lock) IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out spin_lock(desc_lock) clear IRQ_INPROGRESS spin_unlock(desc_lock) In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer interrupt until the count register wraps around. With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on one processor to trigger this one. For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it. There is no way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from the platform code. I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this should be ok.

Adds a JR.HB after halting a TC, to ensure that the TC has really halted. only modifies the TCSTATUS register when the TC is safely halted. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2007-11-15[MIPS] Sibyte: Stop timers before programming next even.Ralf Baechle
We have no guarantee by the generic time code that the timer is stopped when the ->next_event method is called. Modifying the Timer Initial Count register while the timer is enabled has UNPREDICTABLE effect according to the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual. So stop the timer before reprogramming. This is a paranoia fix; no ill effects have been observed previously. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
2007-11-15[MIPS] Sibyte: Increase minimum oneshot timer interval to two ticks.Ralf Baechle
For the old minimum of a single tick a value of zero would be programmed into the init value register which in the BCM1250/BCM1125/BCM1125H User Manual in the Timer Special Cases section is documented to have UNPREDICTABLE effect. Observable sympthoms of this bug were hangs of several seconds on the console during bootup and later if both dyntick and highres timer options were activated. In theory contiguous mode of the timers is also affected but in an act of hopeless lack of realism I'll assume nobody will ever configure a KERNEL for HZ > 500kHz but if so I leave that to evolution to sort out.

2007-11-15[MIPS] Fix shadow register support.Ralf Baechle
Shadow register support would not possibly have worked on multicore systems. The support code for it was also depending not on MIPS R2 but VSMP or SMTC kernels even though it makes perfect sense with UP kernels. SR sets are a scarce resource and the expected usage pattern is that users actually hardcode the register set numbers in their code. So fix the allocator by ditching it. Move the remaining CPU probe bits into the generic CPU probe. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
