2020-07-10x86/entry: Fix NMI vs IRQ state trackingPeter Zijlstra1-9/+19
While the nmi_enter() users did trace_hardirqs_{off_prepare,on_finish}() there was no matching lockdep_hardirqs_*() calls to complete the picture. Introduce idtentry_{enter,exit}_nmi() to enable proper IRQ state tracking across the NMIs.

2020-05-26rcu: Abstract out rcu_irq_enter_check_tick() from rcu_nmi_enter()Paul E. McKenney1-12/+17
There will likely be exception handlers that can sleep, which rules out the usual approach of invoking rcu_nmi_enter() on entry and also rcu_nmi_exit() on all exit paths. However, the alternative approach of just not calling anything can prevent RCU from coaxing quiescent states from nohz_full CPUs that are looping in the kernel: RCU must instead IPI them explicitly. It would be better to enable the scheduler tick on such CPUs to interact with RCU in a lighter-weight manner, and this enabling is one of the things that rcu_nmi_enter() currently does. What is needed is something that helps RCU coax quiescent states while not preventing subsequent sleeps. This commit therefore splits out the nohz_full scheduler-tick enabling from the rest of the rcu_nmi_enter() logic into a new function named rcu_irq_enter_check_tick(). [ tglx: Renamed the function and made it a nop when context tracking is off ] [ mingo: Fixed a CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL assumption, harmonized and fixed all the comment blocks and cleaned up rcu_nmi_enter()/exit() definitions. ] Suggested-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2020-05-19sched,rcu,tracing: Avoid tracing before in_nmi() is correctPeter Zijlstra1-2/+11
If a tracer is invoked before in_nmi() becomes true, the tracer can no longer detect it is called from NMI context and behave correctly. Therefore change nmi_{enter,exit}() to use __preempt_count_{add,sub}() as the normal preempt_count_{add,sub}() have a (desired) function trace entry. This fixes a potential issue with the current code; when the function-tracer has stack-tracing enabled __trace_stack() will malfunction when it hits the preempt_count_add() function entry from NMI context.

2019-02-06arm64: Fix HCR.TGE status for NMI contextsJulien Thierry1-0/+7
When using VHE, the host needs to clear HCR_EL2.TGE bit in order to interact with guest TLBs, switching from EL2&0 translation regime to EL1&0. However, some non-maskable asynchronous event could happen while TGE is cleared like SDEI. Because of this address translation operations relying on EL2&0 translation regime could fail (tlb invalidation, userspace access, ...). Fix this by properly setting HCR_EL2.TGE when entering NMI context and clear it if necessary when returning to the interrupted context.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2016-05-20printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMIPetr Mladek1-0/+2
printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI context. The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from all CPUs. This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). The patchset brings two big advantages. First, it makes the NMI backtraces safe on all architectures for free. Second, it makes all NMI messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is limited. We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at minimum). Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context: WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE handlers. These are not easy to avoid. This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic. It is useful for all messages and architectures that support NMI. The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when leaving NMI context. It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the main ring buffer in a safe context. __printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer. Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with writers. There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other flushers. We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock. It would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use. It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe. The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven Rostedt. It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on architectures that call nmi_enter(). This is achieved by the new HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag. The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures. We need to clean up NMI handling there first. Let's do it separately. The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/6/10/327 [arnd@arndb.de: printk-nmi: use %zu format string for size_t] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: min_t->min - all types are size_t here] Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Suggested-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Acked-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> [arm part] Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Daniel Thompson <daniel.thompson@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-05-19sched/preempt: Merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.hFrederic Weisbecker1-1/+1
preempt_mask.h defines all the preempt_count semantics and related symbols: preempt, softirq, hardirq, nmi, preempt active, need resched, etc... preempt.h defines the accessors and mutators of preempt_count. But there is a messy dependency game around those two header files: * preempt_mask.h includes preempt.h in order to access preempt_count() * preempt_mask.h defines all preempt_count semantic and symbols except PREEMPT_NEED_RESCHED that is needed by asm/preempt.h Thus we need to define it from preempt.h, right before including asm/preempt.h, instead of defining it to preempt_mask.h with the other preempt_count symbols. Therefore the preempt_count semantics happen to be spread out. * We plan to introduce preempt_active_[enter,exit]() to consolidate preempt_schedule*() code. But we'll need to access both preempt_count mutators (preempt_count_add()) and preempt_count symbols (PREEMPT_ACTIVE, PREEMPT_OFFSET). The usual place to define preempt operations is in preempt.h but then we'll need symbols in preempt_mask.h which already includes preempt.h. So we end up with a ressource circle dependency. Lets merge preempt_mask.h into preempt.h to solve these dependency issues. This way we gather semantic symbols and operation definition of preempt_count in a single file. This is a dumb copy-paste merge. Further merge re-arrangments are performed in a subsequent patch to ease review.

For things like netpoll there is a need to disable an interrupt from atomic context. Currently netpoll uses disable_irq() which will sleep-wait on threaded handlers and thus forced_irqthreads breaks things. Provide disable_hardirq(), which uses synchronize_hardirq() to only wait for active hardirq handlers; also change synchronize_hardirq() to return the status of threaded handlers. This will allow one to try-disable an interrupt from atomic context, or in case of request_threaded_irq() to only wait for the hardirq part.

2014-02-19genirq: Provide synchronize_hardirq()Thomas Gleixner1-0/+1
synchronize_irq() waits for hard irq and threaded handlers to complete before returning. For some special cases we only need to make sure that the hard interrupt part of the irq line is not in progress when we disabled the - possibly shared - interrupt at the device level. A proper use case for this was provided by Russell. The sdhci driver requires some irq triggered functions to be run in thread context. The current implementation of the thread context is a sdio private kthread construct, which has quite some shortcomings. These can be avoided when the thread is directly associated to the device interrupt via the generic threaded irq infrastructure. Though there is a corner case related to run time power management where one side disables the device interrupts at the device level and needs to make sure, that an already running hard interrupt handler has completed before proceeding further. Though that hard interrupt handler might wake the associated thread, which in turn can request the runtime PM to reenable the device. Using synchronize_irq() leads to an immediate deadlock of the irq thread waiting for the PM lock and the synchronize_irq() waiting for the irq thread to complete. Due to the fact that it is sufficient for this case to ensure that no hard irq handler is executing a new function which avoids the check for the thread is required. Add a function, which just monitors the hard irq parts and ignores the threaded handlers.

2013-08-14hardirq: Split preempt count mask definitionsFrederic Weisbecker1-116/+1
In order to use static keys with vtime APIs, we'll need to add static keys headers to vtime.h hardirq.h then becomes a problem because it needs vtime.h for irqtime accounting in irq_enter/irq_exit, but it's often included just to get the irq mask definitions in the task preempt_count field and the APIs that come along: in_interrupt(), in_hardirq(), etc... Some very low level arch headers sometimes need these masks and APIs such as arch/m68k/include/asm/irqflags.h for example. But they don't want to include hardirq.h if vtime.h, jump_label.h and even workqueue.h come along. Including such bloated high level header from arch headers can quickly result in circular headers dependency that crash the build. So let's split hardirq.h in two parts: * preempt_mask.h that gathers all the preempt_count definitions and the APIs associated. This one is considered low level and can be safely included anywhere. * hardirq.h that includes the previous one. It defines the irq entry/exit APIs. To avoid future circular headers dependencies, the preempt_mask.h inclusion can replace hardirq.h on files that don't implement irq low level handlers but just need the atomic/context check APIs.

2013-02-22irq: Remove IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET workaroundFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+0
The IRQ_EXIT_OFFSET trick was used to make sure the irq doesn't get preempted after we substract the HARDIRQ_OFFSET until we are entirely done with any code in irq_exit(). This workaround was necessary because some archs may call irq_exit() with irqs enabled and there is still some code in the end of this function that is not covered by the HARDIRQ_OFFSET but want to stay non-preemptible. Now that irq are always disabled in irq_exit(), the whole code is guaranteed not to be preempted. We can thus remove this hack.

2013-01-27cputime: Safely read cputime of full dynticks CPUsFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
While remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full dynticks CPU, the values stored in utime/stime fields of struct task_struct may be stale. Its values may be those of the last kernel <-> user transition time snapshot and we need to add the tickless time spent since this snapshot. To fix this, flush the cputime of the dynticks CPUs on kernel <-> user transition and record the time / context where we did this. Then on top of this snapshot and the current time, perform the fixup on the reader side from task_times() accessors.

2013-01-21tracing/lockdep: Disable lockdep first in entering NMISteven Rostedt1-2/+2
When function tracing with either debug locks enabled or tracing preempt disabled, the add_preempt_count() is traced. This is an issue with lockdep and function tracing. As function tracing can disable interrupts, and lockdep records that change, lockdep may not be able to handle this recursion if it happens from an NMI context. The first thing that an NMI does is: #define nmi_enter() \ do { \ ftrace_nmi_enter(); \ BUG_ON(in_nmi()); \ add_preempt_count(NMI_OFFSET + HARDIRQ_OFFSET); \ lockdep_off(); \ rcu_nmi_enter(); \ trace_hardirq_enter(); \ } while (0) When the add_preempt_count() is traced, and the tracing callback disables interrupts, it will jump into the lockdep code. There's some places in lockdep that can't handle this re-entrance, and causes lockdep to fail. As the lockdep_off() (and lockdep_on) is a simple: void lockdep_off(void) { current->lockdep_recursion++; } and is never traced, it can be called first in nmi_enter() and lockdep_on() last in nmi_exit().

2012-10-29cputime: Specialize irq vtime hooksFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
With CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING, when vtime_account() is called in irq entry/exit, we perform a check on the context: if we are interrupting the idle task we account the pending cputime to idle, otherwise account to system time or its sub-areas: tsk->stime, hardirq time, softirq time, ... However this check for idle only concerns the hardirq entry and softirq entry: * Hardirq may directly interrupt the idle task, in which case we need to flush the pending CPU time to idle. * The idle task may be directly interrupted by a softirq if it calls local_bh_enable(). There is probably no such call in any idle task but we need to cover every case. Ksoftirqd is not concerned because the idle time is flushed on context switch and softirq in the end of hardirq have the idle time already flushed from the hardirq entry. In the other cases we always account to system/irq time: * On hardirq exit we account the time to hardirq time. * On softirq exit we account the time to softirq time. To optimize this and avoid the indirect call to vtime_account() and the checks it performs, specialize the vtime irq APIs and only perform the check on irq entry. Irq exit can directly call vtime_account_system(). CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING behaviour doesn't change and directly maps to its own vtime_account() implementation. One may want to take benefits from the new APIs to optimize irq time accounting as well in the future.

2011-12-11rcu: Track idleness independent of idle tasksPaul E. McKenney1-21/+0
Earlier versions of RCU used the scheduling-clock tick to detect idleness by checking for the idle task, but handled idleness differently for CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. But there are now a number of uses of RCU read-side critical sections in the idle task, for example, for tracing. A more fine-grained detection of idleness is therefore required. This commit presses the old dyntick-idle code into full-time service, so that rcu_idle_enter(), previously known as rcu_enter_nohz(), is always invoked at the beginning of an idle loop iteration. Similarly, rcu_idle_exit(), previously known as rcu_exit_nohz(), is always invoked at the end of an idle-loop iteration. This allows the idle task to use RCU everywhere except between consecutive rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() calls, in turn allowing architecture maintainers to specify exactly where in the idle loop that RCU may be used. Because some of the userspace upcall uses can result in what looks to RCU like half of an interrupt, it is not possible to expect that the irq_enter() and irq_exit() hooks will give exact counts. This patch therefore expands the ->dynticks_nesting counter to 64 bits and uses two separate bitfields to count process/idle transitions and interrupt entry/exit transitions. It is presumed that userspace upcalls do not happen in the idle loop or from usermode execution (though usermode might do a system call that results in an upcall). The counter is hard-reset on each process/idle transition, which avoids the interrupt entry/exit error from accumulating. Overflow is avoided by the 64-bitness of the ->dyntick_nesting counter. This commit also adds warnings if a non-idle task asks RCU to enter idle state (and these checks will need some adjustment before applying Frederic's OS-jitter patches (http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/10/7/246). In addition, validation of ->dynticks and ->dynticks_nesting is added. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2010-11-18hardirq.h: needs sched.h if using BKLLinus Torvalds1-0/+1
This really isn't the right thing to do, and strictly speaking we should have the BKL depth count in the thread info right next to the preempt count. The two really do go together. However, since that would involve a patch to all architectures, and the BKL is finally going away, it's simply not worth the effort to do the RightThing(tm). Just re-instate the <linux/sched.h> include that we used to get accidentally from the smp_lock.h one. This is all fallout from the same old "BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>" commit.

2010-11-17Fix build failure due to hwirq.h needing smp_lock.hLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
Arnd Bergmann did an automated scripting run to find left-over instances of <linux/smp_lock.h>, and had made it trigger it on the normal BKL use of lock_kernel and unlock_lernel (and apparently release_kernel_lock and reacquire_kernel_lock too, used by the scheduler). That resulted in commit 451a3c24b013 ("BKL: remove extraneous #include <smp_lock.h>"). However, hardirq.h was the only remaining user of the old 'kernel_locked()' interface, and Arnd's script hadn't checked for that. So depending on your configuration and what header files had been included, you would get errors like "implicit declaration of function 'kernel_locked'" during the build. The right fix is not to just re-instate the smp_lock.h include - it is to just remove 'kernel_locked()' entirely, since the only use was this one special low-level detail. Just make hardirq.h do it directly. In fact this simplifies and clarifies the code, because some trivial analysis makes it clear that hardirq.h only ever used _one_ of the two definitions of kernel_locked(), so we can remove the other one entirely.

2010-10-18sched: Add IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING, finer accounting of irq timeVenkatesh Pallipadi1-1/+1
s390/powerpc/ia64 have support for CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING which does the fine granularity accounting of user, system, hardirq, softirq times. Adding that option on archs like x86 will be challenging however, given the state of TSC reliability on various platforms and also the overhead it will add in syscall entry exit. Instead, add a lighter variant that only does finer accounting of hardirq and softirq times, providing precise irq times (instead of timer tick based samples). This accounting is added with a new config option CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING so that there won't be any overhead for users not interested in paying the perf penalty. This accounting is based on sched_clock, with the code being generic. So, other archs may find it useful as well. This patch just adds the core logic and does not enable this logic yet.

2010-10-18sched: Fix softirq time accountingVenkatesh Pallipadi1-0/+5
Peter Zijlstra found a bug in the way softirq time is accounted in VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING on this thread: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail//linux/kernel/1009.2/01366.html The problem is, softirq processing uses local_bh_disable internally. There is no way, later in the flow, to differentiate between whether softirq is being processed or is it just that bh has been disabled. So, a hardirq when bh is disabled results in time being wrongly accounted as softirq. Looking at the code a bit more, the problem exists in !VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING as well. As account_system_time() in normal tick based accouting also uses softirq_count, which will be set even when not in softirq with bh disabled. Peter also suggested solution of using 2*SOFTIRQ_OFFSET as irq count for local_bh_{disable,enable} and using just SOFTIRQ_OFFSET while softirq processing. The patch below does that and adds API in_serving_softirq() which returns whether we are currently processing softirq or not. Also changes one of the usages of softirq_count in net/sched/cls_cgroup.c to in_serving_softirq. Looks like many usages of in_softirq really want in_serving_softirq. Those changes can be made individually on a case by case basis.

2010-08-20rcu: Add a TINY_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney1-1/+1
Implement a small-memory-footprint uniprocessor-only implementation of preemptible RCU. This implementation uses but a single blocked-tasks list rather than the combinatorial number used per leaf rcu_node by TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, which reduces memory consumption and greatly simplifies processing. This version also takes advantage of uniprocessor execution to accelerate grace periods in the case where there are no readers. The general design is otherwise broadly similar to that of TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. This implementation is a step towards having RCU implementation driven off of the SMP and PREEMPT kernel configuration variables, which can happen once this implementation has accumulated sufficient experience. Removed ACCESS_ONCE() from __rcu_read_unlock() and added barrier() as suggested by Steve Rostedt in order to avoid the compiler-reordering issue noted by Mathieu Desnoyers (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/16/183). As can be seen below, CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU represents almost 5Kbyte savings compared to CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU. Of course, for non-real-time workloads, CONFIG_TINY_RCU is even better.

This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT) on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU (which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30): CONFIG_TREE_RCU: text data bss dec filename 183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o 2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o 3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7) CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU: text data bss dec filename 263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o 4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o 5689 Total (6155 for v7) CONFIG_TINY_RCU: text data bss dec filename 96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o 734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o 858 Total (vs 848 for v7) The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms. Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated. Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388) o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds). o Fix up expedited primitives. Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293). o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream. o Added lockdep support. o Make lightweight rcu_barrier. Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12). o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel. - Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs(). - Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs(). - Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify(). - Provided trivial exit_rcu(). - Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu(). - Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h. o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future. o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods. Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include: o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the ->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk. o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function. Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh(). Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include: o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh() rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o. (The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.) Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include: o Fix whitespace issues. o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN. (http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/) Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include: o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested by Ingo. o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero, permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time. This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to dynticks-idle mode. o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems. o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.

2009-08-22rcu: Expunge lingering references to CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU, optimize on !SMPPaul E. McKenney1-2/+2
A couple of references to CONFIG_CLASSIC_RCU have survived. Although these are harmless, it is past time for them to go. The one in hardirq.h is strictly a readability problem. The two in pagemap.h appear to disable a !SMP performance optimization (which this patch re-enables). This does raise the issue as to whether pagemap.h should really be referring to the CPU implementation. Long term, I intend to make the RCU implementation driven by CONFIG_PREEMPT, at which point these should change from defined(CONFIG_TREE_RCU) to !defined(CONFIG_PREEMPT). In the meantime, is there something else that could be done in pagemap.h? Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2009-08-09sched: Add default defines for PREEMPT_ACTIVEArnd Bergmann1-0/+6
The PREEMPT_ACTIVE setting doesn't actually need to be arch-specific, so set up a sane default for all arches to (hopefully) migrate to. > if we look at linux/hardirq.h, it makes this claim: > * - bit 28 is the PREEMPT_ACTIVE flag > if that's true, then why are we letting any arch set this define ? a > quick survey shows that half the arches (11) are using 0x10000000 (bit > 28) while the other half (10) are using 0x4000000 (bit 26). and then > there is the ia64 oddity which uses bit 30. the exact value here > shouldnt really matter across arches though should it ? actually alpha, arm and avr32 also use bit 30 (0x40000000), there are only five (or eight, depending on how you count) architectures (blackfin, h8300, m68k, s390 and sparc) using bit 26.

2009-03-24genirq: add threaded interrupt handler supportThomas Gleixner1-1/+1
Add support for threaded interrupt handlers: A device driver can request that its main interrupt handler runs in a thread. To achive this the device driver requests the interrupt with request_threaded_irq() and provides additionally to the handler a thread function. The handler function is called in hard interrupt context and needs to check whether the interrupt originated from the device. If the interrupt originated from the device then the handler can either return IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_WAKE_THREAD. IRQ_HANDLED is returned when no further action is required. IRQ_WAKE_THREAD causes the genirq code to invoke the threaded (main) handler. When IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is returned handler must have disabled the interrupt on the device level. This is mandatory for shared interrupt handlers, but we need to do it as well for obscure x86 hardware where disabling an interrupt on the IO_APIC level redirects the interrupt to the legacy PIC interrupt lines.

2009-02-12sched: do not account for NMIsSteven Rostedt1-16/+16
Impact: avoid corruption in system time accounting Martin Schwidefsky told me that there was an issue with NMIs and system accounting. The problem is that the accounting code is not reentrant, and if an NMI goes off after an interrupt it can corrupt the accounting. For now, the best we can do is to treat NMIs like SMIs and they are not accounted for. This patch changes nmi_enter to not call __irq_enter and to do the preempt-count and tracing calls directly.
