* [PARISC] New syscalls (inotify, *at, pselect6/ppoll, migrate_pages)Kyle McMartin2006-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | Wire up some new syscalls that have been merged upstream, o inotify o openat et al o pselect6/ppoll o migrate_pages Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>
* [PARISC] Simplify DISCONTIGMEM in KconfigKyle McMartin2006-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | parisc was previously displaying both the mm/Kconfig memory model menu, and its own prompt. Remove prompt and have CONFIG_64BIT toggle between DISCONTIGMEM and FLATMEM. Also remove the EXPERIMENTAL from discontigmem support... It's been running fine for months (years?) now. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>
* [PARISC] Arch-specific compat signalsKyle McMartin2006-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | Add enough arch-specific compat signals code to enable parisc64 to compile and boot out of the mainline tree. There are likely still many dragons here, but this is a start to squashing the last big difference between the mainline tree and the parisc-linux tree. The remaining bugs can be squashed as they come up. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>

* [PARISC] Add chassis_power_off routineKyle McMartin2006-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Define a chassis_power_off routine that machines which have a way to turn off the power supply can hook into. Formerly they were using pm_power_off, which is now being used by generic code. Make lasi.c use chassis_power_off instead of pm_power_off. Note, all machines need to call machine_power_off so that the switch can power off the machine, though halt -p may not necessarily be able to work properly on the machine.

* [PATCH] sanitize building of fs/compat_ioctl.cChristoph Hellwig2006-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that all these entries in the arch ioctl32.c files are gone [1], we can build fs/compat_ioctl.c as a normal object and kill tons of cruft. We need a special do_ioctl32_pointer handler for s390 so the compat_ptr call is done. This is not needed but harmless on all other architectures. Also remove some superflous includes in fs/compat_ioctl.c Tested on ppc64. [1] parisc still had it's PPP handler left, which is not fully correct for ppp and besides that ppp uses the generic SIOCPRIV ioctl so it'd kick in for all netdevice users. We can introduce a proper handler in one of the next patch series by adding a compat_ioctl method to struct net_device but for now let's just kill it - parisc doesn't compile in mainline anyway and I don't want this to block this patchset.

* [PARISC] Disable nesting of interruptsGrant Grundler2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disable nesting of interrupts - still has holes The offending sequence starts out like this: 1) take external interrupt 2) set_eiem() to only allow TIMER_IRQ; local interrupts still disabled 3) read the EIRR to get a "list" of pending interrupts 4) clear EIRR of pending interrupts we intend to handle 5) call __do_IRQ() to handle IRQ. 6) handle_IRQ_event() enables local interrupts (I-Bit) 7) take a timer interrupt 8) read EIRR to get a new list of pending interrupts 9) clear EIRR of pending interrupts we just read 10) handle pending interrupts found in (8) 11) set_eiem(cpu_eiem) and return [ TROUBLE! all enabled CPU IRQs are unmasked. } 12) handle remaining interrupts pending from (3) e.g. call __do_IRQ() -> handle_IRQ_event()..etc [ TROUBLE! call to handle_IRQ_event() can now enable *any* IRQ. } 13) set_eiem(cpu_eiem) and return The problem is we now get into ugly race conditions with Timer and IPI interrupts at this point. I'm not exactly sure what happens when things go wrong (perhaps nest calls to IPI or timer interrupt?). But I'm certain it's not good. This sequence will break sooner if (10) would accidentally leave interrupts enabled. I'm pretty sure the right answer is now to make cpu_eiem a per CPU variable since all external interrupts on parisc are per CPU. This means we will NOT need to send an IPI to every CPU in the system when enabling or disabling an IRQ since only one CPU needs to change it's EIEM.

* [PARISC] Make sure timer and IPI execute with interrupts disabledJames Bottomley2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a longstanding smp bug The problem is that both the timer and ipi interrupts are being called with interrupts enabled, which isn't what anyone is expecting. The IPI issue has just started to show up by causing a BUG_ON in the slab debugging code. The timer issue never shows up because there's an eiem work around in our irq.c The fix is to label both these as SA_INTERRUPT which causes the generic irq code not to enable interrupts. I also suspect the smp_call_function timeouts we're seeing might be connected with the fact that we disable IPIs when handling any other type of interrupt. I've put a WARN_ON in the code for executing smp_call_function() with IPIs disabled. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <jejb@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>
* [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle reworkNick Piggin2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

* [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] consolidate sys_ptrace()Christoph Hellwig2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The sys_ptrace boilerplate code (everything outside the big switch statement for the arch-specific requests) is shared by most architectures. This patch moves it to kernel/ptrace.c and leaves the arch-specific code as arch_ptrace. Some architectures have a too different ptrace so we have to exclude them. They continue to keep their implementations. For sh64 I had to add a sh64_ptrace wrapper because it does some initialization on the first call. For um I removed an ifdefed SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL block, but SUBARCH_PTRACE_SPECIAL isn't defined anywhere in the tree.
