* [PATCH] lockdep: coreIngo Molnar2006-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do 'make oldconfig' and accept all the defaults for new config options - reboot into the kernel and if everything goes well it should boot up fine and you should have /proc/lockdep and /proc/lockdep_stats files. Typically if the lock validator finds some problem it will print out voluminous debug output that begins with "BUG: ..." and which syslog output can be used by kernel developers to figure out the precise locking scenario. What does the lock validator do? It "observes" and maps all locking rules as they occur dynamically (as triggered by the kernel's natural use of spinlocks, rwlocks, mutexes and rwsems). Whenever the lock validator subsystem detects a new locking scenario, it validates this new rule against the existing set of rules. If this new rule is consistent with the existing set of rules then the new rule is added transparently and the kernel continues as normal. If the new rule could create a deadlock scenario then this condition is printed out. When determining validity of locking, all possible "deadlock scenarios" are considered: assuming arbitrary number of CPUs, arbitrary irq context and task context constellations, running arbitrary combinations of all the existing locking scenarios. In a typical system this means millions of separate scenarios. This is why we call it a "locking correctness" validator - for all rules that are observed the lock validator proves it with mathematical certainty that a deadlock could not occur (assuming that the lock validator implementation itself is correct and its internal data structures are not corrupted by some other kernel subsystem). [see more details and conditionals of this statement in include/linux/lockdep.h and Documentation/lockdep-design.txt] Furthermore, this "all possible scenarios" property of the validator also enables the finding of complex, highly unlikely multi-CPU multi-context races via single single-context rules, increasing the likelyhood of finding bugs drastically. In practical terms: the lock validator already found a bug in the upstream kernel that could only occur on systems with 3 or more CPUs, and which needed 3 very unlikely code sequences to occur at once on the 3 CPUs. That bug was found and reported on a single-CPU system (!). So in essence a race will be found "piecemail-wise", triggering all the necessary components for the race, without having to reproduce the race scenario itself! In its short existence the lock validator found and reported many bugs before they actually caused a real deadlock. To further increase the efficiency of the validator, the mapping is not per "lock instance", but per "lock-class". For example, all struct inode objects in the kernel have inode->inotify_mutex. If there are 10,000 inodes cached, then there are 10,000 lock objects. But ->inotify_mutex is a single "lock type", and all locking activities that occur against ->inotify_mutex are "unified" into this single lock-class. The advantage of the lock-class approach is that all historical ->inotify_mutex uses are mapped into a single (and as narrow as possible) set of locking rules - regardless of how many different tasks or inode structures it took to build this set of rules. The set of rules persist during the lifetime of the kernel. To see the rough magnitude of checking that the lock validator does, here's a portion of /proc/lockdep_stats, fresh after bootup: lock-classes: 694 [max: 2048] direct dependencies: 1598 [max: 8192] indirect dependencies: 17896 all direct dependencies: 16206 dependency chains: 1910 [max: 8192] in-hardirq chains: 17 in-softirq chains: 105 in-process chains: 1065 stack-trace entries: 38761 [max: 131072] combined max dependencies: 2033928 hardirq-safe locks: 24 hardirq-unsafe locks: 176 softirq-safe locks: 53 softirq-unsafe locks: 137 irq-safe locks: 59 irq-unsafe locks: 176 The lock validator has observed 1598 actual single-thread locking patterns, and has validated all possible 2033928 distinct locking scenarios.

* [PATCH] genirq: rename desc->handler to desc->chipIngo Molnar2006-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing functionality. While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is the new 'irq chip' abstraction. The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow" (level/edge/etc.) type of details. This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details. The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design. As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers (master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well. The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code and more consolidation between architectures. We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset. This patch: rename desc->handler to desc->chip. Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it truly is. I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke frequently. So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel. This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

| | | | | | | | | | | If you get to that point in the code it means that desc->move_irq is set, pending_irq_cpumask[irq] and cpu_online_map should have a value. Still pretty good chance anding those two you'll still have a value. So these two branch predictors should be inverted.

* [PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't workZhang Yanmin2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work. 1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq]. Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity. However, every function pointed by hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask) always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask. Next time when recalling do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance. 2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same issue.

| | | | | | | | | | | | - Add new SA_PROBEIRQ which suppresses the new sharing-mismatch warning.

* [PATCH] IRQ: prevent enabling of previously disabled interruptBryan Holty2006-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fix prevents re-disabling and enabling of a previously disabled interrupt. On an SMP system with irq balancing enabled; If an interrupt is disabled from within its own interrupt context with disable_irq_nosync and is also earmarked for processor migration, the interrupt is blindly moved to the other processor and enabled without regard for its current "enabled" state. If there is an interrupt pending, it will unexpectedly invoke the irq handler on the new irq owning processor (even though the irq was previously disabled) The more intuitive fix would be to invoke disable_irq_nosync and enable_irq, but since we already have the desc->lock from __do_IRQ, we cannot call them directly. Instead we can use the same logic to disable and enable found in disable_irq_nosync and enable_irq, with regards to the desc->depth. This now prevents a disabled interrupt from being re-disabled, and more importantly prevents a disabled interrupt from being incorrectly enabled on a different processor.
