* [POWERPC] spufs: Fix context destroy vs /spu readdir raceJeremy Kerr2007-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can currently cause an oops by repeatedly creating and destroying contexts, while doing getdents() calls on the "/spu" directory. This is due to the context's top-level dentry remaining hashed while the context is being destroyed. Fix this by unhashing the context's dentry with the dentry->d_inode->i_mutex held. This way, we'll hit the check for d_unhashed in dentry_readdir, and won't be included in the list of subdirs for /spu. test: spufs-testsuite:tests/01-spu_create/07-destroy-vs-readdir-race Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
* Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parametersChristoph Lameter2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Combine spufs_coredump_calls with spufs_callsMichael Ellerman2007-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because spufs might be built as a module, we can't have other parts of the kernel calling directly into it, we need stub routines that check first if the module is loaded. Currently we have two structures which hold callbacks for these stubs, the syscalls are in spufs_calls and the coredump calls are in spufs_coredump_calls. In both cases the logic for registering/unregistering is essentially the same, so we can simplify things by combining the two.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Make isolated loader properly alignedSebastian Siewior2007-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the comment in spufs_init_isolated_loader(), the isolated loader should be aligned on a 16 byte boundary. ARCH_{KMALLOC,SLAB}_MINALIGN is not defined so only 8 byte alignment is guaranteed. This enforces alignment via __get_free_pages.

* [CELL] spufs: extension of spu_create to support affinity definitionArnd Bergmann2007-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for additional flags at spu_create, which relate to the establishment of affinity between contexts and contexts to memory. A fourth, optional, parameter is supported. This parameter represent a affinity neighbor of the context being created, and is used when defining SPU-SPU affinity. Affinity is represented as a doubly linked list of spu_contexts. Signed-off-by: Andre Detsch <adetsch@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>
* mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().Paul Mundt2007-07-19

They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Fix gang destroy leaksJeremy Kerr2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, closing a SPE gang that still has contexts would trigger a WARN_ON, and leak the allocated gang.

* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds SPU elf notes to the coredump. It creates a separate note for each of /regs, /fpcr, /lslr, /decr, /decr_status, /mem, /signal1, /signal1_type, /signal2, /signal2_type, /event_mask, /event_status, /mbox_info, /ibox_info, /wbox_info, /dma_info, /proxydma_info, /object-id. A new macro, ARCH_HAVE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created for architectures to specify they have extra elf core notes. A new macro, ELF_CORE_EXTRA_NOTES_SIZE, was created so the size of the additional notes could be calculated and added to the notes phdr entry. A new macro, ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES, was created so the new notes would be written after the existing notes. The SPU coredump code resides in spufs. Stub functions are provided in the kernel which are hooked into the spufs code which does the actual work via register_arch_coredump_calls(). A new set of __spufs_<file>_read/get() functions was provided to allow the coredump code to read from the spufs files without having to lock the SPU context for each file read from.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Load isolation kernel from spu_runJeremy Kerr2006-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to fit with the "don't-run-spus-outside-of-spu_run" model, this patch starts the isolated-mode loader in spu_run, rather than spu_create. If spu_run is passed an isolated-mode context that isn't in isolated mode state, it will run the loader. This fixes potential races with the isolated SPE app doing a stop-and-signal before the PPE has called spu_run: bugzilla #29111. Also (in conjunction with a mambo patch), this addresses #28565, as we always set the runcntrl register when entering spu_run. It is up to libspe to ensure that isolated-mode apps are cleaned up after running to completion - ie, put the app through the "ISOLATE EXIT" state (see Ch11 of the CBEA).

* [POWERPC] spufs: Add isolated-mode SPE recycling supportJeremy Kerr2006-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When in isolated mode, SPEs have access to an area of persistent storage, which is per-SPE. In order for isolated-mode apps to communicate arbitrary data through this storage, we need to ensure that isolated physical SPEs can be reused for subsequent applications. Add a file ("recycle") in a spethread dir to enable isolated-mode recycling. By writing to this file, the kernel will reload the isolated-mode loader kernel, allowing a new app to be run on the same physical SPE. This requires the spu_acquire_exclusive function to enforce exclusive access to the SPE while the loader is initialised.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds general support for isolated mode SPE apps. Isolated apps are started indirectly, by a dedicated loader "kernel".

The loader is read from the device tree, at the location "/spu-isolation/loader". If the loader is not present, an attempt to start an isolated SPE binary will fail with -ENODEV.

* [POWERPC] spufs: Add infrastructure needed for gang schedulingArnd Bergmann2006-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the concept of a gang to spufs as a new type of object. So far, this has no impact whatsover on scheduling, but makes it possible to add that later. A new type of object in spufs is now a spu_gang. It is created with the spu_create system call with the flags argument set to SPU_CREATE_GANG (0x2). Inside of a spu_gang, it is then possible to create spu_context objects, which until now was only possible at the root of spufs. There is a new member in struct spu_context pointing to the spu_gang it belongs to, if any. The spu_gang maintains a list of spu_context structures that are its children. This information can then be used in the scheduler in the future. There is still a bug that needs to be resolved in this basic infrastructure regarding the order in which objects are removed. When the spu_gang file descriptor is closed before the spu_context descriptors, we leak the dentry and inode for the gang. Any ideas how to cleanly solve this are appreciated.

Fortunately, libspe has never been using the returned contents of that register, as they were the same as the return code of spu_run (duh!). Unlike the specification that we never implemented correctly, we now require a SPU_CREATE_EVENTS_ENABLED flag passed to spu_create, in order to get the new behavior.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

* [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mountDavid Howells2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint. The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry pointers. For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt() which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour). The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the superblock pointer. This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing. In such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root and mnt_sb would be set directly. The patch also makes the following changes: (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change very little. (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb(). (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon(). This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root, and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in dentries being left unculled. However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries with child trees. [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree. (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

* | [PATCH] spufs: enable SPE problem state MMIO access.Mark Nutter2006-03-26
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is layered on top of CONFIG_SPARSEMEM and is patterned after direct mapping of LS. This patch allows mmap() of the following regions: "mfc", which represents the area from [0x3000 - 0x3fff]; "cntl", which represents the area from [0x4000 - 0x4fff]; "signal1" which begins at offset 0x14000; "signal2" which begins at offset 0x1c000. The signal1 & signal2 files may be mmap()'d by regular user processes. The cntl and mfc file, on the other hand, may only be accessed if the owning process has CAP_SYS_RAWIO, because they have the potential to confuse the kernel with regard to parallel access to the same files with regular file operations: the kernel always holds a spinlock when accessing registers in these areas to serialize them, which can not be guaranteed with user mmaps, Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

* [PATCH] spufs: cooperative scheduler supportArnd Bergmann2006-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a scheduler for SPUs to make it possible to use more logical SPUs than physical ones are present in the system. Currently, there is no support for preempting a running SPU thread, they have to leave the SPU by either triggering an event on the SPU that causes it to return to the owning thread or by sending a signal to it. This patch also adds operations that enable accessing an SPU in either runnable or saved state. We use an RW semaphore to protect the state of the SPU from changing underneath us, while we are holding it readable. In order to change the state, it is acquired writeable and a context save or restore is executed before downgrading the semaphore to read-only.
