* perf_counter: Generic per counter interrupt throttlePeter Zijlstra2009-05-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a generic per counter interrupt throttle. This uses the perf_counter_overflow() quick disable to throttle a specific counter when its going too fast when a pmu->unthrottle() method is provided which can undo the quick disable. Power needs to implement both the quick disable and the unthrottle method.

* perf_counter: Optimize context switch between identical inherited contextsPaul Mackerras2009-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When monitoring a process and its descendants with a set of inherited counters, we can often get the situation in a context switch where both the old (outgoing) and new (incoming) process have the same set of counters, and their values are ultimately going to be added together. In that situation it doesn't matter which set of counters are used to count the activity for the new process, so there is really no need to go through the process of reading the hardware counters and updating the old task's counters and then setting up the PMU for the new task. This optimizes the context switch in this situation. Instead of scheduling out the perf_counter_context for the old task and scheduling in the new context, we simply transfer the old context to the new task and keep using it without interruption. The new context gets transferred to the old task. This means that both tasks still have a valid perf_counter_context, so no special case is introduced when the old task gets scheduled in again, either on this CPU or another CPU. The equivalence of contexts is detected by keeping a pointer in each cloned context pointing to the context it was cloned from. To cope with the situation where a context is changed by adding or removing counters after it has been cloned, we also keep a generation number on each context which is incremented every time a context is changed. When a context is cloned we take a copy of the parent's generation number, and two cloned contexts are equivalent only if they have the same parent and the same generation number. In order that the parent context pointer remains valid (and is not reused), we increment the parent context's reference count for each context cloned from it. Since we don't have individual fds for the counters in a cloned context, the only thing that can make two clones of a given parent different after they have been cloned is enabling or disabling all counters with prctl. To account for this, we keep a count of the number of enabled counters in each context. Two contexts must have the same number of enabled counters to be considered equivalent. Here are some measurements of the context switch time as measured with the lat_ctx benchmark from lmbench, comparing the times obtained with and without this patch series: -----Unmodified----- With this patch series Counters: none 2 HW 4H+4S none 2 HW 4H+4S 2 processes: Average 3.44 6.45 11.24 3.12 3.39 3.60 St dev 0.04 0.04 0.13 0.05 0.17 0.19 8 processes: Average 6.45 8.79 14.00 5.57 6.23 7.57 St dev 1.27 1.04 0.88 1.42 1.46 1.42 32 processes: Average 5.56 8.43 13.78 5.28 5.55 7.15 St dev 0.41 0.47 0.53 0.54 0.57 0.81 The numbers are the mean and standard deviation of 20 runs of lat_ctx. The "none" columns are lat_ctx run directly without any counters. The "2 HW" columns are with lat_ctx run under perfstat, counting cycles and instructions. The "4H+4S" columns are lat_ctx run under perfstat with 4 hardware counters and 4 software counters (cycles, instructions, cache references, cache misses, task clock, context switch, cpu migrations, and page faults).

* perf_counter: Dynamically allocate tasks' perf_counter_context structPaul Mackerras2009-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the struct perf_counter_context in the task_struct with a pointer to a dynamically allocated perf_counter_context struct. The main reason for doing is this is to allow us to transfer a perf_counter_context from one task to another when we do lazy PMU switching in a later patch. This has a few side-benefits: the task_struct becomes a little smaller, we save some memory because only tasks that have perf_counters attached get a perf_counter_context allocated for them, and we can remove the inclusion of <linux/perf_counter.h> in sched.h, meaning that we don't end up recompiling nearly everything whenever perf_counter.h changes. The perf_counter_context structures are reference-counted and freed when the last reference is dropped. A context can have references from its task and the counters on its task. Counters can outlive the task so it is possible that a context will be freed well after its task has exited. Contexts are allocated on fork if the parent had a context, or otherwise the first time that a per-task counter is created on a task. In the latter case, we set the context pointer in the task struct locklessly using an atomic compare-and-exchange operation in case we raced with some other task in creating a context for the subject task. This also removes the task pointer from the perf_counter struct. The task pointer was not used anywhere and would make it harder to move a context from one task to another. Anything that needed to know which task a counter was attached to was already using counter->ctx->task. The __perf_counter_init_context function moves up in perf_counter.c so that it can be called from find_get_context, and now initializes the refcount, but is otherwise unchanged. We were potentially calling list_del_counter twice: once from __perf_counter_exit_task when the task exits and once from __perf_counter_remove_from_context when the counter's fd gets closed. This adds a check in list_del_counter so it doesn't do anything if the counter has already been removed from the lists. Since perf_counter_task_sched_in doesn't do anything if the task doesn't have a context, and leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL, this adds code to __perf_install_in_context to set cpuctx->task_ctx if necessary, i.e. in the case where the current task adds the first counter to itself and thus creates a context for itself. This also adds similar code to __perf_counter_enable to handle a similar situation which can arise when the counters have been disabled using prctl; that also leaves cpuctx->task_ctx = NULL.

Now all platform_driver is registered by platform_driver_register, which makes probe()/release()/... of platform_driver passed parameter of platform_device *, so platform driver can get platform_data from platform_device; 2. Other kind of devices do not need to use platform_data, we can decrease size of device if moving it to platform_device. Taking into consideration of thousands of files to be fixed and they can't be finished in one night(maybe it will take a long time), so we keep platform_data in device to allow two kind of cases coexist until all platform devices pass its platfrom data from platform_device->platform_data. All patches to do this kind of conversion are welcome. As we don't really want to do it, it was a bad idea.

As the result, it's safe to use to dispose of new superblock on ->get_sb() failure exits - nobody will see the sucker until it's all over. Equivalent using up_write/deactivate_super is safe for that purpose if superblock is either safe to use or has NULL ->s_root when we unlock. Normally filesystems take the required precautions, but a) we do have bugs in that area in some of them. b) up_write/deactivate_super sequence is extremely common, so the helper makes sense anyway.

It wouldn't cause corruption, but could cause decreased performance due to allocating a larger chunk of the journal (~ 27 blocks) than it would actually use. This patch loads the xattr root dentry at xattr initialization and creates it on-demand. Since we're using the cached dentry, there's no point in keeping lookup_or_create_dir around, so that's removed.

Thus, the checking fails. BTW, I said this before but I insist: I have only tested the cluster match with 2 nodes getting ~45% extra performance in an active-active setup.

The whole approach is actually fully broken and based on assumptions that are no longer valid. With the introduction of Simple Pairing support, the creation of low-level ACL links got changed. This change invalidates the reason why in the past two independent work queues have been used for adding/removing sysfs devices. The adding of the actual sysfs device is now postponed until the host controller successfully assigns an unique handle to that link. So the real synchronization happens inside the controller and not the host. The only left-over problem is that some internals of the sysfs device handling are not initialized ahead of time. This leaves potential access to invalid data and can cause various NULL pointer dereferences. To fix this a new function makes sure that all sysfs details are initialized when an connection attempt is made. The actual sysfs device is only registered when the connection has been successfully established. To avoid a race condition with the registration, the check if a device is registered has been moved into the removal work. As an extra protection two flush_work() calls are left in place to make sure a previous add/del work has been completed first.

EEM is different from the Ethernet Control Model (ECM) currently supported by the "CDC Ethernet" driver. One key difference is that it doesn't require of USB interface alternate settings to manage interface state; some maldesigned hardware can't handle that part of USB. It also avoids a separate USB interface for control and status updates.
