* MN10300: Fix the preemption resume_kernel() routineAkira Takeuchi2008-12-101-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the preemption resume_kernel() routine by inverting the test to see whether interrupts are off (IM7 is all enabled, not all disabled). Furthermore, interrupts should be disabled on entry to resume_kernel() so that they're correctly set for jumping to restore_all() and doing the need reschedule test.

* MN10300: Discard low-priority Tx interrupts when closing an on-chip serial portAkira Takeuchi2008-12-101-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Discard low-prioriy Tx interrupts when closing an MN10300 on-chip serial port. The MN10300 on-chip serial port uses three interrupts to manage its serial ports: (1) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Rx. (2) A very high priority interrupt that drives virtual DMA for Tx. (3) A normal priority virtual interrupt that does the normal UART interrupt stuff and is shared between Rx and Tx. mn10300_serial_stop_tx() only disables the high priority Tx interrupt. It doesn't also disable the normal priority one because it is shared with Rx. However, the high priority interrupt may interrupt local_irq_disabled() sections, and so may have queued up a low priority virtual interrupt whilst the UART driver is asking for the Tx interrupt to be disabled. The result of this can be an oops when we try to process the interrupt in mn10300_serial_transmit_interrupt() as port->uart.info and port->uart.info->tty may have gone away. To deal with this, if either of those pointers is NULL, we make sure the high-priority Tx interrupt is disabled and discard the interrupt. The low priority interrupt is disabled by the mn10300_serial_pic irq_chip table.

* container freezer: implement freezer cgroup subsystemMatt Helsley2008-10-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem. The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in the cgroup. Reading will return the current state. * Examples of usage : # mkdir /containers/freezer # mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers # mkdir /containers/0 # echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks to get status of the freezer subsystem : # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING to freeze all tasks in the container : # echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FREEZING # cat /containers/0/freezer.state FROZEN to unfreeze all tasks in the container : # echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state # cat /containers/0/freezer.state RUNNING This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space task in a simple scenario. It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain "FREEZING" until one of these things happens: 1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to the freezer.state file 2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal and returns EIO) 3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN" state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

| * MN10300: Fix IRQ handlingDavid Howells2008-10-013-28/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the IRQ handling on the MN10300 arch. This patch makes a number of significant changes: (1) It separates the irq_chip definition for edge-triggered interrupts from the one for level-triggered interrupts. This is necessary because the MN10300 PIC latches the IRQ channel's interrupt request bit (GxICR_REQUEST), even after the device has ceased to assert its interrupt line and the interrupt channel has been disabled in the PIC. So for level-triggered interrupts we need to clear this bit when we re-enable - which is achieved by setting GxICR_DETECT but not GxICR_REQUEST when writing to the register. Not doing this results in spurious interrupts occurring because calling mask_ack() at the start of handle_level_irq() is insufficient - it fails to clear the REQUEST latch because the device that caused the interrupt is still asserting its interrupt line at this point. (2) IRQ disablement [irq_chip::disable_irq()] shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (3) IRQ unmasking [irq_chip::unmask_irq()] also shouldn't clear the interrupt request flag for edge-triggered interrupts lest it lose an interrupt. (4) The end() operation is now left to the default (no-operation) as __do_IRQ() is compiled out. This may affect misrouted_irq(), but according to Thomas Gleixner it's the correct thing to do. (5) handle_level_irq() is used for edge-triggered interrupts rather than handle_edge_irq() as the MN10300 PIC latches interrupt events even on masked IRQ channels, thus rendering IRQ_PENDING unnecessary. It is sufficient to call mask_ack() at the start and unmask() at the end. (6) For level-triggered interrupts, ack() is now NULL as it's not used, and there is no effective ACK function on the PIC. mask_ack() is now the same as mask() as the latch continues to latch, even when the channel is masked. Further, the patch discards the disable() op implementation as its now the same as the mask() op implementation, which is used instead. It also discards the enable() op implementations as they're now the same as the unmask() op implementations, which are used instead.

* inflate: refactor inflate malloc codeThomas Petazzoni2008-07-251-37/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Inflate requires some dynamic memory allocation very early in the boot process and this is provided with a set of four functions: malloc/free/gzip_mark/gzip_release. The old inflate code used a mark/release strategy rather than implement free. This new version instead keeps a count on the number of outstanding allocations and when it hits zero, it resets the malloc arena. This allows removing all the mark and release implementations and unifying all the malloc/free implementations. The architecture-dependent code must define two addresses: - free_mem_ptr, the address of the beginning of the area in which allocations should be made - free_mem_end_ptr, the address of the end of the area in which allocations should be made. If set to 0, then no check is made on the number of allocations, it just grows as much as needed The architecture-dependent code can also provide an arch_decomp_wdog() function call. This function will be called several times during the decompression process, and allow to notify the watchdog that the system is still running. If an architecture provides such a call, then it must define ARCH_HAS_DECOMP_WDOG so that the generic inflate code calls arch_decomp_wdog(). Work initially done by Matt Mackall, updated to a recent version of the kernel and improved by me.

* BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementationLinus Torvalds2008-05-101-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7 (and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair. The latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a mess of scheduling. The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert "semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that never had any issues like this. This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore hack which still left a couple percentage point regression. As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that respect. We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the plan for several years. These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in particular) and Alan holds out some hope: "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked." so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

* iomap: fix 64 bits resources on 32 bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-291-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources. This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t. I also "fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

* PCI: remove initial bios sort of PCI devices on x86Greg Kroah-Hartman2008-04-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the driver core, and one all on its own. This second list is sorted at boot time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels (2.2 and earlier days). There was also a "nosort" option to turn this sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days... Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1]. That is done using the driver core list instead. This change happened back in the early 2.5 days. Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed, no reliance on the BIOS is needed. Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if needed for any reason. This option is not going away, as some systems rely on them. This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS" mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years. I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for some reason defined them, but never used them. This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing. [1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions, as they are deprecated for use in this manner. If for some reason, a driver rely on the order and uses these functions, the breadth-first boot option will resolve any problem.

| | | | | | | | | | | Semaphores are no longer performance-critical, so a generic C implementation is better for maintainability, debuggability and extensibility.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the kernel jump into gdbstub (if configured) on a BUG with the register set from the BUG rather than interpolating another illegal instruction and leaving gdbstub's idea of the process counter in unsupported_syscall() where the original BUG was detected. With this patch, gdbstub reports a SIGABRT to the compiler and reports the program counter at the original BUG, allowing the execution state at the time of the BUG to be examined with GDB.
