* asm-generic: don't warn that atomic_t is only 24 bitPeter Fritzsche2010-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 32-bit Sparc used to only allow usage of 24-bit of it's atomic_t type. This was corrected with linux 2.6.3 when Keith M Wesolowski changed the implementation to use the parisc approach of having an array of spinlocks to protect the atomic_t. These warnings were also removed from the sparc implementation when the new implementation was merged in BKrev:402e4949VThdc6D3iaosSFUgabMfvw, but the warning still remained in some other places without any 24-bit-only atomic_t implementation inside the kernel. We should remove these warnings to allow users to rely on the full 32-bit range of atomic_t.

| * panic: Allow warnings to set different taint flagsBen Hutchings2010-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | WARN() is used in some places to report firmware or hardware bugs that are then worked-around. These bugs do not affect the stability of the kernel and should not set the flag for TAINT_WARN. To allow for this, add WARN_TAINT() and WARN_TAINT_ONCE() macros that take a taint number as argument. Architectures that implement warnings using trap instructions instead of calls to warn_slowpath_*() now implement __WARN_TAINT(taint) instead of __WARN().

This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily.

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.

Every architecture was provided with this flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

This value was exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested successfully by me. Notes: 1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops. Deltas must be computed in user space. 2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero, and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism. 3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit 977750076d98c7ff6cbda51858bb5a5894a9d9ab (my af packet cmsg patch) is reverted Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | this_cpu: Introduce this_cpu_ptr() and generic this_cpu_* operationsChristoph Lameter2009-10-03
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two things: First this_cpu_ptr and then per cpu atomic operations. this_cpu_ptr ------------ A common operation when dealing with cpu data is to get the instance of the cpu data associated with the currently executing processor. This can be optimized by this_cpu_ptr(xx) = per_cpu_ptr(xx, smp_processor_id). The problem with per_cpu_ptr(x, smp_processor_id) is that it requires an array lookup to find the offset for the cpu. Processors typically have the offset for the current cpu area in some kind of (arch dependent) efficiently accessible register or memory location. We can use that instead of doing the array lookup to speed up the determination of the address of the percpu variable. This is particularly significant because these lookups occur in performance critical paths of the core kernel. this_cpu_ptr() can avoid memory accesses and this_cpu_ptr comes in two flavors. The preemption context matters since we are referring the the currently executing processor. In many cases we must insure that the processor does not change while a code segment is executed. __this_cpu_ptr -> Do not check for preemption context this_cpu_ptr -> Check preemption context The parameter to these operations is a per cpu pointer. This can be the address of a statically defined per cpu variable (&per_cpu_var(xxx)) or the address of a per cpu variable allocated with the per cpu allocator. per cpu atomic operations: this_cpu_*(var, val) ----------------------------------------------- this_cpu_* operations (like this_cpu_add(struct->y, value) operate on abitrary scalars that are members of structures allocated with the new per cpu allocator. They can also operate on static per_cpu variables if they are passed to per_cpu_var() (See patch to use this_cpu_* operations for vm statistics). These operations are guaranteed to be atomic vs preemption when modifying the scalar. The calculation of the per cpu offset is also guaranteed to be atomic at the same time. This means that a this_cpu_* operation can be safely used to modify a per cpu variable in a context where interrupts are enabled and preemption is allowed. Many architectures can perform such a per cpu atomic operation with a single instruction. Note that the atomicity here is different from regular atomic operations. Atomicity is only guaranteed for data accessed from the currently executing processor. Modifications from other processors are still possible. There must be other guarantees that the per cpu data is not modified from another processor when using these instruction. The per cpu atomicity is created by the fact that the processor either executes and instruction or not. Embedded in the instruction is the relocation of the per cpu address to the are reserved for the current processor and the RMW action. Therefore interrupts or preemption cannot occur in the mids of this processing. Generic fallback functions are used if an arch does not define optimized this_cpu operations. The functions come also come in the two flavors used for this_cpu_ptr(). The firstparameter is a scalar that is a member of a structure allocated through allocpercpu or a per cpu variable (use per_cpu_var(xxx)). The operations are similar to what percpu_add() and friends do. this_cpu_read(scalar) this_cpu_write(scalar, value) this_cpu_add(scale, value) this_cpu_sub(scalar, value) this_cpu_inc(scalar) this_cpu_dec(scalar) this_cpu_and(scalar, value) this_cpu_or(scalar, value) this_cpu_xor(scalar, value) Arch code can override the generic functions and provide optimized atomic per cpu operations. These atomic operations must provide both the relocation (x86 does it through a segment override) and the operation on the data in a single instruction. Otherwise preempt needs to be disabled and there is no gain from providing arch implementations. A third variant is provided prefixed by irqsafe_. These variants are safe against hardware interrupts on the *same* processor (all per cpu atomic primitives are *always* *only* providing safety for code running on the *same* processor!). The increment needs to be implemented by the hardware in such a way that it is a single RMW instruction that is either processed before or after an interrupt. cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> cc: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
