* spufs: use new vm_ops->access to allow local state access from gdbBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This uses the new vm_ops->access to allow gdb to access the SPU local store. We currently prevent access to problem state registers, this can be done later if really needed but it's safer not to.

* powerpc ioremap_protBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds ioremap_prot and pte_pgprot() so that one can extract protection bits from a PTE and use them to ioremap_prot() (in order to support ptrace of VM_IO | VM_PFNMAP as per Rik's patch). This moves a couple of flag checks around in the ioremap implementations of arch/powerpc. There's a side effect of allowing non-cacheable and non-guarded mappings on ppc32 which before would always have _PAGE_GUARDED set whenever _PAGE_NO_CACHE is. (standard ioremap will still set _PAGE_GUARDED, but ioremap_prot will be capable of setting such a non guarded mapping).

* access_process_vm device memory infrastructureRik van Riel2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to be able to debug things like the X server and programs using the PPC Cell SPUs, the debugger needs to be able to access device memory through ptrace and /proc/pid/mem. This patch: Add the generic_access_phys access function and put the hooks in place to allow access_process_vm to access device or PPC Cell SPU memory.

* mm: make defensive checks around PFN values registered for memory usageMel Gorman2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a number of different views to how much memory is currently active. There is the arch-independent zone-sizing view, the bootmem allocator and memory models view. Architectures register this information at different times and is not necessarily in sync particularly with respect to some SPARSEMEM limitations. This patch introduces mminit_validate_memmodel_limits() which is able to validate and correct PFN ranges with respect to the memory model. It is only SPARSEMEM that currently validates itself.

* mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisationMel Gorman2008-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This short-circuit path in sysret_signal looks wrong to me. AFAICT, in practice the branch is never taken--and if it were, it would go wrong. To wit, try loading a module whose init function does set_thread_flag(TIF_IRET), and see insmod crash (presumably with a wrong user stack pointer). This is because the FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK work hasn't been done yet when we jump around the call to ptregscall_common and get to int_with_check--where it expects the user RSP,SS,CS and EFLAGS to have been stored by FIXUP_TOP_OF_STACK. I don't think it's normally possible to get to sysret_signal with no _TIF_DO_NOTIFY_MASK bits set anyway, so these two instructions are already superfluous. If it ever did happen, it is harmless to call do_notify_resume with nothing for it to do. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com>

Initially I needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock. That however is fixed these days. Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement hrtimer_start_on(). However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes that does seem to be supported, good. Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ... Mihai reported test success as well.

Currently we depend on the stop_machine to provide nescessesary synchronization for the cpu_active_map updates. As Dmitry Adamushko pointed this is fragile and is not much clearer than the previous scheme. In other words we do not want to depend on the internal stop machine operation here. So make the synchronization rules clear by doing synchronize_sched() after clearing out cpu active bit. Tested on quad-Core2 with: while true; do for i in 1 2 3; do echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online done for i in 1 2 3; do echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu$i/online done done and stress -c 200 No lockdep, preempt or other complaints.

| * | | cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment ↵Max Krasnyansky2008-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (take 2) This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going down. It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling. Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too. Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one). This not only boots but also easily handles while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done and while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done at the same time. (on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing). Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine. Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep, mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far. I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus' version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus. And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler code where it made sense (to me).
