* genirq: Prevent access beyond allocated_irqs bitmapThomas Gleixner2011-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lars-Peter Clausen pointed out: I stumbled upon this while looking through the existing archs using SPARSE_IRQ. Even with SPARSE_IRQ the NR_IRQS is still the upper limit for the number of IRQs. Both PXA and MMP set NR_IRQS to IRQ_BOARD_START, with IRQ_BOARD_START being the number of IRQs used by the core. In various machine files the nr_irqs field of the ARM machine defintion struct is then set to "IRQ_BOARD_START + NR_BOARD_IRQS". As a result "nr_irqs" will greater then NR_IRQS which then again causes the "allocated_irqs" bitmap in the core irq code to be accessed beyond its size overwriting unrelated data. The core code really misses a sanity check there. This went unnoticed so far as by chance the compiler/linker places data behind that bitmap which gets initialized later on those affected platforms. So the obvious fix would be to add a sanity check in early_irq_init() and break all affected platforms. Though that check wants to be backported to stable as well, which will require to fix all known problematic platforms and probably some more yet not known ones as well. Lots of churn. A way simpler solution is to allocate a slightly larger bitmap and avoid the whole churn w/o breaking anything. Add a few warnings when an arch returns utter crap.

* irq: use per_cpu kstat_irqsEric Dumazet2011-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use modern per_cpu API to increment {soft|hard}irq counters, and use per_cpu allocation for (struct irq_desc)->kstats_irq instead of an array. This gives better SMP/NUMA locality and saves few instructions per irq. With small nr_cpuids values (8 for example), kstats_irq was a small array (less than L1_CACHE_BYTES), potentially source of false sharing. In the !CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ case, remove the huge, NUMA/cache unfriendly kstat_irqs_all[NR_IRQS][NR_CPUS] array. Note: we still populate kstats_irq for all possible irqs in early_irq_init(). We probably could use on-demand allocations. (Code included in alloc_descs()). Problem is not all IRQS are used with a prior alloc_descs() call. kstat_irqs_this_cpu() is not used anymore, remove it.

* /proc/stat: fix scalability of irq sum of all cpuKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki2010-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In /proc/stat, the number of per-IRQ event is shown by making a sum each irq's events on all cpus. But we can make use of kstat_irqs(). kstat_irqs() do the same calculation, If !CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it's not a big cost. (Both of the number of cpus and irqs are small.) If a system is very big and CONFIG_GENERIC_HARDIRQ, it does for_each_irq() for_each_cpu() - look up a radix tree - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This seems not efficient. This patch adds kstat_irqs() for CONFIG_GENRIC_HARDIRQ and change the calculation as for_each_irq() look up radix tree for_each_cpu() - read desc->irq_stat[cpu] This reduces cost.

* genirq: Remove the now unused sparse irq leftoversThomas Gleixner2010-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The move_irq_desc() function was only used due to the problem that the allocator did not free the old descriptors. So the descriptors had to be moved in create_irq_nr(). That's history. The code would have never been able to move active interrupt descriptors on affinity settings. That can be done in a completely different way w/o all this horror. Remove all of it.

* genirq: Implement a sane sparse_irq allocatorThomas Gleixner2010-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current sparse_irq allocator has several short comings due to failures in the design or the lack of it: - Requires iteration over the number of active irqs to find a free slot (Some architectures have grown their own workarounds for this) - Removal of entries is not possible - Racy between create_irq_nr and destroy_irq (plugged by horrible callbacks) - Migration of active irq descriptors is not possible - No bulk allocation of irq ranges - Sprinkeled irq_desc references all over the place outside of kernel/irq/ (The previous chip functions series is addressing this issue) Implement a sane allocator which fixes the above short comings (though migration of active descriptors needs a full tree wide cleanup of the direct and mostly unlocked access to irq_desc). The new allocator still uses a radix_tree, but uses a bitmap for keeping track of allocated irq numbers. That allows: - Fast lookup of a free slot - Allows the removal of descriptors - Prevents the create/destroy race - Bulk allocation of consecutive irq ranges - Basic design is ready for migration of life descriptors after further cleanups The bitmap is also used in the SPARSE_IRQ=n case for lookup and raceless (de)allocation of irq numbers. So it removes the requirement for looping through the descriptor array to find slots. Right now it uses sparse_irq_lock to protect the bitmap and the radix tree, but after cleaning up all users we should be able convert that to a mutex and to switch the radix_tree and decriptor allocations to GFP_KERNEL.
