* [PATCH] ppc32: Tell userland about lack of standard TBBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-10-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Glibc is about to get some new high precision timer stuff that relies on the standard timebase of the PPC architecture. However, some (rare & old) CPUs do not have such timebase and it is a bit annoying to have your stuff just crash because you are running on the wrong CPU... This exposes to userland a CPU feature bit that tells that the current processor doesn't have a standard timebase. It's negative logic so that glibc will still "just work" on older kernels (it will just be unhappy on those old CPUs but that doesn't really matter as distro tend to update glibc & kernel at the same time).

| | | | | | | | | | | | - added typedef unsigned int __nocast gfp_t; - replaced __nocast uses for gfp flags with gfp_t - it gives exactly the same warnings as far as sparse is concerned, doesn't change generated code (from gcc point of view we replaced unsigned int with typedef) and documents what's going on far better.

* [PATCH] ppc64: SMU driver update & i2c supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-09-222-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SMU is the "system controller" chip used by Apple recent G5 machines including the iMac G5. It drives things like fans, i2c busses, real time clock, etc... The current kernel contains a very crude driver that doesn't do much more than reading the real time clock synchronously. This is a completely rewritten driver that provides interrupt based command queuing, a userland interface, and an i2c/smbus driver for accessing the devices hanging off the SMU i2c busses like temperature sensors. This driver is a basic block for upcoming work on thermal control for those machines, among others.

* [PATCH] Remove unused var from asm/futex.hPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso2005-09-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As recently done by Russell King for ARM, commit 4732efbeb997189d9f9b04708dc26bf8613ed721 introduces a generic asm/futex.h copied along most arches, which includes a "-ENOSYS support" to be changed if needed. However, it includes an unused var (taken from the "real" version) which GCC warns about. Remove it from all arches having that file version (i.e. same GIT id). $ git-diff-tree -r HEAD and $ git-ls-tree -r HEAD include/|grep 9feff4ce1424bc390608326240be369eb13aa648 may be more interesting than looking at the patch itself, to make sure I've just copied the arm header to all other archs having the original dummy version of this file.

We could split out the IABR into 2 more ptrace calls but I figured there was no need and 16 DABR registers should be more than enough (POWER4/POWER5 have one). - Add 2 new SIGTRAP si_codes: TRAP_HWBKPT and TRAP_BRANCH.

* | [PATCH] ppc32: support hotplug cpu on powermacsPaul Mackerras2005-09-101-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows cpus to be off-lined on 32-bit SMP powermacs. When a cpu is off-lined, it is put into sleep mode with interrupts disabled. It can be on-lined again by asserting its soft-reset pin, which is connected to a GPIO pin. With this I can off-line the second cpu in my dual G4 powermac, which means that I can then suspend the machine (the suspend/resume code refuses to suspend if more than one cpu is online, and making it cope with multiple cpus is surprisingly messy).

* | [PATCH] ppc32: Kill init on unhandled synchronous signalsPaul Mackerras2005-09-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a patch that I have had in my tree for ages. If init causes an exception that raises a signal, such as a SIGSEGV, SIGILL or SIGFPE, and it hasn't registered a handler for it, we don't deliver the signal, since init doesn't get any signals that it doesn't have a handler for. But that means that we just return to userland and generate the same exception again immediately. With this patch we print a message and kill init in this situation. This is very useful when you have a bug in the kernel that means that init doesn't get as far as executing its first instruction. :) Without this patch the system hangs when it gets to starting the userland init; with it you at least get a message giving you a clue about what has gone wrong.

* | [PATCH] spinlock consolidationIngo Molnar2005-09-102-71/+40

It does the following things: - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code. - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti. Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code, located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds) Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too. All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard spin/rwlock lockups. The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now lives in the generic headers: include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16 I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files, making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is: SMP | UP ----------------------------|----------------------------------- asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h /* * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files: * * on SMP builds: * * asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the * initializers * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel * implementations, mostly inline assembly code * * (also included on UP-debug builds:) * * linux/spinlock_api_smp.h: * contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs. * * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs. * * on UP builds: * * linux/spinlock_type_up.h: * contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type. * (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds) * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * linux/spinlock_up.h: * contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP * builds.

I did not try to build non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary. I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT expect any new issues to arise with them. If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW (load and clear word).

* [PATCH] Make sparc64 use setup-res.cDavid S. Miller2005-09-081-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were three changes necessary in order to allow sparc64 to use setup-res.c: 1) Sparc64 roots the PCI I/O and MEM address space using parent resources contained in the PCI controller structure. I'm actually surprised no other platforms do this, especially ones like Alpha and PPC{,64}. These resources get linked into the iomem/ioport tree when PCI controllers are probed. So the hierarchy looks like this: iomem --| PCI controller 1 MEM space --| device 1 device 2 etc. PCI controller 2 MEM space --| ... ioport --| PCI controller 1 IO space --| ... PCI controller 2 IO space --| ... You get the idea. The drivers/pci/setup-res.c code allocates using plain iomem_space and ioport_space as the root, so that wouldn't work with the above setup. So I added a pcibios_select_root() that is used to handle this. It uses the PCI controller struct's io_space and mem_space on sparc64, and io{port,mem}_resource on every other platform to keep current behavior. 2) quirk_io_region() is buggy. It takes in raw BUS view addresses and tries to use them as a PCI resource. pci_claim_resource() expects the resource to be fully formed when it gets called. The sparc64 implementation would do the translation but that's absolutely wrong, because if the same resource gets released then re-claimed we'll adjust things twice. So I fixed up quirk_io_region() to do the proper pcibios_bus_to_resource() conversion before passing it on to pci_claim_resource(). 3) I was mistakedly __init'ing the function methods the PCI controller drivers provide on sparc64 to implement some parts of these routines. This was, of course, easy to fix. So we end up with the following, and that nasty SPARC64 makefile ifdef in drivers/pci/Makefile is finally zapped. Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] FUTEX_WAKE_OP: pthread_cond_signal() speedupJakub Jelinek2005-09-071-0/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ATM pthread_cond_signal is unnecessarily slow, because it wakes one waiter (which at least on UP usually means an immediate context switch to one of the waiter threads). This waiter wakes up and after a few instructions it attempts to acquire the cv internal lock, but that lock is still held by the thread calling pthread_cond_signal. So it goes to sleep and eventually the signalling thread is scheduled in, unlocks the internal lock and wakes the waiter again. Now, before 2003-09-21 NPTL was using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal to avoid this performance issue, but it was removed when locks were redesigned to the 3 state scheme (unlocked, locked uncontended, locked contended). Following scenario shows why simply using FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal together with using lll_mutex_unlock_force in place of lll_mutex_unlock is not enough and probably why it has been disabled at that time: The number is value in cv->__data.__lock. thr1 thr2 thr3 0 pthread_cond_wait 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__futex, futexval) 0 pthread_cond_signal 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 1 pthread_cond_signal 2 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 2 lll_futex_wait (&cv->__data.__lock, 2) 2 lll_futex_requeue (&cv->__data.__futex, 0, 1, &cv->__data.__lock) # FUTEX_REQUEUE, not FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE 2 lll_mutex_unlock_force (cv->__data.__lock) 0 cv->__data.__lock = 0 0 lll_futex_wake (&cv->__data.__lock, 1) 1 lll_mutex_lock (cv->__data.__lock) 0 lll_mutex_unlock (cv->__data.__lock) # Here, lll_mutex_unlock doesn't know there are threads waiting # on the internal cv's lock Now, I believe it is possible to use FUTEX_REQUEUE in pthread_cond_signal, but it will cost us not one, but 2 extra syscalls and, what's worse, one of these extra syscalls will be done for every single waiting loop in pthread_cond_*wait. We would need to use lll_mutex_unlock_force in pthread_cond_signal after requeue and lll_mutex_cond_lock in pthread_cond_*wait after lll_futex_wait. Another alternative is to do the unlocking pthread_cond_signal needs to do (the lock can't be unlocked before lll_futex_wake, as that is racy) in the kernel. I have implemented both variants, futex-requeue-glibc.patch is the first one and futex-wake_op{,-glibc}.patch is the unlocking inside of the kernel. The kernel interface allows userland to specify how exactly an unlocking operation should look like (some atomic arithmetic operation with optional constant argument and comparison of the previous futex value with another constant). It has been implemented just for ppc*, x86_64 and i?86, for other architectures I'm including just a stub header which can be used as a starting point by maintainers to write support for their arches and ATM will just return -ENOSYS for FUTEX_WAKE_OP. The requeue patch has been (lightly) tested just on x86_64, the wake_op patch on ppc64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL and x86_64 kernel running 32-bit and 64-bit NPTL. With the following benchmark on UP x86-64 I get: for i in nptl-orig nptl-requeue nptl-wake_op; do echo time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench; \ for j in 1 2; do echo ( time elf/ld.so --library-path .:$i /tmp/bench ) 2>&1; done; done time elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl-orig /tmp/bench real 0m0.655s user 0m0.253s sys 0m0.403s real 0m0.657s user 0m0.269s sys 0m0.388s time elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl-requeue /tmp/bench real 0m0.496s user 0m0.225s sys 0m0.271s real 0m0.531s user 0m0.242s sys 0m0.288s time elf/ld.so --library-path .:nptl-wake_op /tmp/bench real 0m0.380s user 0m0.176s sys 0m0.204s real 0m0.382s user 0m0.175s sys 0m0.207s The benchmark is at: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00001.txt Older futex-requeue-glibc.patch version is at: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00002.txt Older futex-wake_op-glibc.patch version is at: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-03/txt00003.txt Will post a new version (just x86-64 fixes so that the patch applies against pthread_cond_signal.S) to libc-hacker ml soon. Attached is the kernel FUTEX_WAKE_OP patch as well as a simple-minded testcase that will not test the atomicity of the operation, but at least check if the threads that should have been woken up are woken up and whether the arithmetic operation in the kernel gave the expected results.
