* kbuild: drop include2/ used for O=... buildsSam Ravnborg2009-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | There is no longer any use of the include2/ directory. The generated files has moved to include/generated. Drop all references to said directory. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Michal Marek <mmarek@suse.cz>

* kbuild: move asm-offsets.h to include/generatedSam Ravnborg2009-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The simplest method was to add an extra asm-offsets.h file in arch/$ARCH/include/asm that references the generated file. We can now migrate the architectures one-by-one to reference the generated file direct - and when done we can delete the temporary arch/$ARCH/include/asm/asm-offsets.h file.

Otherwise, when the CPU gets brought down, its call to del_timer_sync() will never return, as the timer won't have a base associated, and hence lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely.

It's installed when the CPU has no APIC or when the APIC is disabled on the kernel command line. The apic_noop implementation of apic_write() warns when the CPU has an APIC or when the APIC is not disabled. That's bogus. The warning should only happen when the CPU has an APIC _AND_ the APIC is not disabled. apic_noop.apic_read() has the correct check.

This latter will perform the heavy and racy task of unregistering the old breakpoint and registering a new one. This is racy as someone else might steal the reserved breakpoint slot under us, which is undesired as the breakpoint is only supposed to be modified, sometimes in the middle of a debugging workflow. We don't want our slot to be stolen in the middle. So instead of unregistering/registering the breakpoint, just disable it while we modify its breakpoint fields and re-enable it after if necessary.

We just need to save the previous frame pointer and to link the new one to the previous. - Otherwise we need another level of indirection. We enter the irq with the previous stack. We save the previous bp inside and make bp pointing to its saved address. Then we switch to the irq stack and push bp another time but to the new stack. This makes two levels to dereference instead of one. In the second case, the current stacktrace code omits the second level and loses the frame pointer accuracy. The stack that follows will then be considered as unreliable. Handling that makes the perf callchain happier.

The interrupted stack will then be considered as unreliable and ignored by perf, as the frame pointer is unreliable itself. This happens because we overwrite the frame pointer that links to the interrupted frame with the address of the exception stack. This is done in order to reserve space inside. But rbp has been chosen here only because it is not a scratch register, so that the address of the exception stack remains in rbp after calling do_debug(), we can then release the exception stack space without the need to retrieve its address again. But we can pick another non-scratch register to do that, so that we preserve the link to the interrupted stack frame in the stacktraces. Just randomly choose r12. Every registers are saved just before and restored just after calling do_debug(). And r12 is not used in the middle, which makes it a perfect candidate.

Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.
