2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: add infrastructure for finding elf objectsArnd Bergmann
This adds an 'object-id' file that the spe library can use to store a pointer to its ELF object. This was originally meant for use by oprofile, but is now also used by the GNU debugger, if available. In order for oprofile to find the location in an spu-elf binary where an event counter triggered, we need a way to identify the binary in the first place. Unfortunately, that binary itself can be embedded in a powerpc ELF binary. Since we can assume it is mapped into the effective address space of the running process, have that one write the pointer value into a new spufs file. When a context switch occurs, pass the user value to the profiler so that can look at the mapped file (with some care).

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang schedulingArnd Bergmann
Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object. So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes it possible to add that later. A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until now was only possible at the root of spufs. There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains a list of spu_context structures that are its children. This information can then be used in the scheduler in the future. There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve this are appreciated.

2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: implement error event delivery to user spaceArnd Bergmann
This tries to fix spufs so we have an interface closer to what is specified in the man page for events returned in the third argument of spu_run. Fortunately, libspe has never been using the returned contents of that register, as they were the same as the return code of spu_run (duh!). Unlike the specification that we never implemented correctly, we now require a SPU_CREATE_EVENTS_ENABLED flag passed to spu_create, in order to get the new behavior. When this flag is not passed, spu_run will simply ignore the third argument now. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
2006-10-05[POWERPC] spufs: scheduler support for NUMA.Mark Nutter
This patch adds NUMA support to the the spufs scheduler. The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/sched.c is greatly simplified, in an attempt to reduce complexity while adding support for NUMA scheduler domains. SPUs are allocated starting from the calling thread's node, moving to others as supported by current->cpus_allowed. Preemption is gone as it was buggy, but should be re-enabled in another patch when stable. The new arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c maintains idle lists on a per-node basis, and allows caller to specify which node(s) an SPU should be allocated from, while passing -1 tells spu_alloc() that any node is allowed. Since the patch removes the currently implemented preemptive scheduling, it is technically a regression, but practically all users have since migrated to this version, as it is part of the IBM SDK and the yellowdog distribution, so there is not much point holding it back while the new preemptive scheduling patch gets delayed further.

2006-10-04[PATCH] AVR32: Allow renumbering of serial devicesHaavard Skinnemoen
Allow the board to remap actual USART peripheral devices to serial devices by calling at32_map_usart(hw_id, serial_line). This ensures that even though ATSTK1002 uses USART1 as the first serial port, it will still have a ttyS0 device. This also adds a board-specific early setup hook and moves the at32_setup_serial_console() call there from the platform code.

2006-10-04[PATCH] atmel_serial: Pass fixed register mappings through platform_dataHaavard Skinnemoen
In order to initialize the serial console early, the atmel_serial driver had to do a hack where it compared the physical address of the port with an address known to be permanently mapped, and used it as a virtual address. This got around the limitation that ioremap() isn't always available when the console is being initalized. This patch removes that hack and replaces it with a new "regs" field in struct atmel_uart_data that the board-specific code can initialize to a fixed virtual mapping for platform devices where this is possible. It also initializes the DBGU's regs field with the address the driver used to check against. On AVR32, the "regs" field is initialized from the physical base address when this it can be accessed through a permanently 1:1 mapped segment, i.e. the P4 segment. If regs is NULL, the console initialization is delayed until the "real" driver is up and running and ioremap() can be used.

Kill a hard-to-calculate 'rsinterval' boot parameter and per-cpu rcu_data.last_rs_qlen. Instead, it adds adds a flag rcu_ctrlblk.signaled, which records the fact that one of CPUs has sent a resched IPI since the last rcu_start_batch(). Roughly speaking, we need two rcu_start_batch()s in order to move callbacks from ->nxtlist to ->donelist. This means that when ->qlen exceeds qhimark and continues to grow, we should send a resched IPI, and then do it again after we gone through a quiescent state. On the other hand, if it was already sent, we don't need to do it again when another CPU detects overflow of the queue. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Acked-by: Paul E.

2006-10-04[PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errorsAlan Stern
Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory errors. This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data allocation fails. The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier head can't be initialized. Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery is possible. Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.

2006-10-04[PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chainsAlan Stern
This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel. An SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep. The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing. On the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be deallocated). SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom.

2006-10-04[PATCH] srcu-3: RCU variant permitting read-side blockingPaul E. McKenney
Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side critical sections. SRCU is as follows: o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other subsystems. o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(), and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct. o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context. o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the need for this by storing the state in the task struct, but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct would therefore require either arbitrary space in the task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller. Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu() while in an SRCU read-side critical section. o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system. (Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does -not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it, please tell me why... [josht@us.ibm.com: sparse notation] Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2006-10-04[PATCH] htirq: tidy up the htirq codeEric W. Biederman
This moves the declarations for the architecture helpers into include/linux/htirq.h from the generic include/linux/pci.h. Hopefully this will make this distinction clearer. htirq.h is included where it is needed. The dependency on the msi code is fixed and removed. The Makefile is tidied up. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch codeEric W. Biederman
It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq. For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate platform code. With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this actually takes less code. The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] msi: simplify msi sanity checks by adding with generic irq codeEric W. Biederman
Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is destroyed it has no more users. By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of relying on a msi specific data structure. By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use. In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of the assciated code to maintain it. To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific data structures that are also not safe to free.

2006-10-04[PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt supportEric W. Biederman
This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for arch specific irq_chip handlers. The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged. However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19 Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be generalized to work there. I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less interesting. However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

This refactors the irq handling code to make the vectors a per cpu resource so the same vector number can be simultaneously used on multiple cpus for different irqs.
