Unfortunately, this rewiring was broken. This apparently went undetected due to the tendency of systems to bring CPUs online in order. This commit nevertheless fixes the rewiring.

| | | | | | | * rcu: Avoid IPIing idle CPUs from synchronize_sched_expedited()Paul E. McKenney2014-10-281-1/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, synchronize_sched_expedited() sends IPIs to all online CPUs, even those that are idle or executing in nohz_full= userspace. Because idle CPUs and nohz_full= userspace CPUs are in extended quiescent states, there is no need to IPI them in the first place. This commit therefore avoids IPIing CPUs that are already in extended quiescent states. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The problem is that rt_mutex_lock() takes wait_lock without disabling irqs, and thus an interrupt taking some LOCK can obviously race with rcu_read_unlock_special() called with the same LOCK held.

However, as noted by Joe Lawrence in a patch to the team subsystem, cond_resched() returns an indication as to whether or not the call to __schedule() actually happened. This commit therefore changes cond_resched_rcu_qs() so as to invoke rcu_note_voluntary_context_switch() only when __schedule() was not called. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rcutorture scripts create a qemu-cmd script containing the actual qemu command. However, this command references the build directory, which will be overwritten by later builds. This commit therefore runs the kernel out of the results directory so that less hand-editing is required to re-run a previous test. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

But we do not need to wait for arch_spin_is_locked() == F. If it is locked we only need to wait until the current owner drops this lock. So we could simply spin until old_head != lock->tickets.head in this case, but .head can overflow and thus we can't check "unlocked" only once before the main loop. Also, the "unlocked" check can ignore TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG bit.

There are two sets of patches that change significant portions of asm/io.h, and this branch contains both in order to resolve the conflicts: - Will Deacon has done a set of patches to ensure that all architectures define {read,write}{b,w,l,q}_relaxed() functions or get them by including asm-generic/io.h. These functions are commonly used on ARM specific drivers to avoid expensive L2 cache synchronization implied by the normal {read,write}{b,w,l,q}, but we need to define them on all architectures in order to share the drivers across architectures and to enable CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST configurations for them - Thierry Reding has done an unrelated set of patches that extends the asm-generic/io.h file to the degree necessary to make it useful on ARM64 and potentially other architectures" * tag 'asm-generic-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/asm-generic: (29 commits) ARM64: use GENERIC_PCI_IOMAP sparc: io: remove duplicate relaxed accessors on sparc32 ARM: sa11x0: Use void __iomem * in MMIO accessors arm64: Use include/asm-generic/io.h ARM: Use include/asm-generic/io.h asm-generic/io.h: Implement generic {read,write}s*() asm-generic/io.h: Reconcile I/O accessor overrides /dev/mem: Use more consistent data types Change xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() prototypes ARM: ixp4xx: Properly override I/O accessors ARM: ixp4xx: Fix build with IXP4XX_INDIRECT_PCI ARM: ebsa110: Properly override I/O accessors ARC: Remove redundant PCI_IOBASE declaration documentation: memory-barriers: clarify relaxed io accessor semantics x86: io: implement dummy relaxed accessor macros for writes tile: io: implement dummy relaxed accessor macros for writes sparc: io: implement dummy relaxed accessor macros for writes powerpc: io: implement dummy relaxed accessor macros for writes parisc: io: implement dummy relaxed accessor macros for writes mn10300: io: implement dummy relaxed accessor macros for writes ...

However, the earlier e1039fb42609 ("sparc32: introduce asm-generic/io.h") had already changed the sparc32 implementation to use asm-generic/io.h, which provides the same macros, resulting in lots of build errors. This moves the definitions from the shared sparc file into the sparc64-only file to fix the sparc32 build regression.
