* [PATCH] page fault retry with NOPAGE_REFAULTBenjamin Herrenschmidt2006-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a way for a no_page() handler to request a retry of the faulting instruction. It goes back to userland on page faults and just tries again in get_user_pages(). I added a cond_resched() in the loop in that later case. The problem I have with signal and spufs is an actual bug affecting apps and I don't see other ways of fixing it. In addition, we are having issues with infiniband and 64k pages (related to the way the hypervisor deals with some HV cards) that will require us to muck around with the MMU from within the IB driver's no_page() (it's a pSeries specific driver) and return to the caller the same way using NOPAGE_REFAULT. And to add to this, the graphics folks have been following a new approach of memory management that involves transparently swapping objects between video ram and main meory. To do that, they need installing PTEs from a no_page() handler as well and that also requires returning with NOPAGE_REFAULT. (For the later, they are currently using io_remap_pfn_range to install one PTE from no_page() which is a bit racy, we need to add a check for the PTE having already been installed afer taking the lock, but that's ok, they are only at the proof-of-concept stage. I'll send a patch adding a "clean" function to do that, we can use that from spufs too and get rid of the sparsemem hacks we do to create struct page for SPEs. Basically, that provides a generic solution for being able to have no_page() map hardware devices, which is something that I think sound driver folks have been asking for some time too). All of these things depend on having the NOPAGE_REFAULT exit path from no_page() handlers.

* [PATCH] Fix WARN_ON / WARN_ON_ONCE regressionAndrew Morton2006-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Tim and Ananiev report that the recent WARN_ON_ONCE changes cause increased cache misses with the tbench workload. Apparently due to the access to the newly-added static variable. Rearrange the code so that we don't touch that variable unless the warning is going to trigger. Also rework the logic so that the static variable starts out at zero, so we can move it into bss. It would seem logical to mark the static variable as __read_mostly too. But it would be wrong, because that would put it back into the vmlinux image, and the kernel will never read from this variable in normal operation anyway. Unless the compiler or hardware go and do some prefetching on us? For some reason this patch shrinks softirq.o text by 40 bytes.

| * IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

This is done by a magical formula of FE0MB-8MB*OneBasedChassisNumber+1MB*(RioNodeId-ChassisBase) to find the offset where BIOS puts it. In this formula, OneBasedChassisNumber corresponds to the NUMA node, and rionodeid is always 2 or 3 depending on which chip in the system it is. The problem was that we had an off by one error that caused us to account some busses to the wrong chip and thus give them the wrong address space. Fixes RH bugzilla #203971.

Changing this to a do-while loop is the correct way of doing this. There should be no possibility of spinning forever in this loop, as pci_get_device states that it will go through all iterations, then return NULL (thus breaking the loop).

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).

The reg property contains either three or four register areas in the order 'local-store', 'problem', 'priv2', and 'priv1', so the priv1 one can be left out in case of hypervisor driven systems that access these through hcalls.

| * | [POWERPC] spufs: add support for read/write on cntlArnd Bergmann2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Writing to cntl can be used to stop execution on the spu and to restart it, reading from cntl gives the contents of the current status register. The access is always in ascii, as for most other files. This was always meant to be there, but we had a little problem with writing to runctl so it was left out so far.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Any firmware that still uses the 'spc' nodes already stopped running for other reasons, so let's get rid of this. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
| * | [POWERPC] spufs: make mailbox functions handle multiple elementsArnd Bergmann2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since libspe2 will provide a function that can read/write multiple mailbox elements at once, the kernel should handle that efficiently. read/write on the three mailbox files can now access the spe context multiple times to operate on any number of mailbox data elements. If the spu application keeps writing to its outbound mailbox, the read call will pick up all the data in a single system call. Unfortunately, if the user passes an invalid pointer, we may lose a mailbox element on read, since we can't put it back. This probably impossible to solve, if the user also accesses the mailbox through direct register access.

| * | [POWERPC] spufs: use correct pg_prot for mapping SPU local storeArnd Bergmann2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This hopefully fixes a long-standing bug in the spu file system. An spu context comes with local memory that can be either saved in kernel pages or point directly to a physical SPE. When mapping the physical SPE, that mapping needs to be cache-inhibited. For simplicity, we used to map the kernel backing memory that way too, but unfortunately that was not only inefficient, but also incorrect because the same page could then be accessed simultaneously through a cacheable and a cache-inhibited mapping, which is not allowed by the powerpc specification and in our case caused data inconsistency for which we did a really ugly workaround in user space.

| * | [POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang schedulingArnd Bergmann2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
