2007-06-26x86_64 irq: use mask/unmask and proper locking in fixup_irqs()Siddha, Suresh B1-3/+29
Force irq migration path during cpu offline, is not using proper locks and irq_chip mask/unmask routines. This will result in some races(especially the device generating the interrupt can see some inconsistent state, resulting in issues like stuck irq,..). Appended patch fixes the issue by taking proper lock and encapsulating irq_chip set_affinity() with a mask() before and an unmask() after. This fixes a MSI irq stuck issue reported by Darrick Wong. There are several more general bugs in this area(irq migration in the process context). For example, 1. Possibility of missing edge triggered irq. 2. Reliable method of migrating level triggered irq in the process context. We plan to look and close these in the near future. Eric says: In addition even with the fix from Suresh there is still at least one nasty hardware race in fixup_irqs(). However we exercise that code path rarely enough that we are unlikely to hit it in the real world, and that race seems to have existed since the code was merged. And a fix for that is not coming soon as it is an open investigation area if we can fix irq migration to work outside of irq context or if we have to rework the requirements imposed by the generic cpu hotplug and layer on fixup_irqs(). So this may come up again. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

2007-06-24x86_64: fix misplaced `continue' in mce.cJoshua Wise1-2/+4
Background: When a userspace application wants to know about machine check events, it opens /dev/mcelog and does a read(). Usually, we found that this interface works well, but in some cases, when the system was taking large numbers of machine check exceptions, the read() would hang. The system would output a soft-lockup warning, and the daemon reading from /dev/mcelog would suck up as much of a single CPU as it could spinning in system space. Description: This patch fixes this bug. In particular, there was a "continue" inside a timeout loop that presumably was intended to break out of the outer loop, but instead caused the inner loop to continue. This patch also makes the condition for the break-out a little more evident by changing a !time_before to a time_after_eq. Result: The read() no longer hangs in this test case. Testing: On my system, I could replicate the bug with the following command: # for i in `seq 15000`; do ./inject_sbe.sh; done where inject_sbe.sh contains commands to inject a single-bit error into the next memory write transaction. Patch: This patch is against git f1518a088bde6aea49e7c472ed6ab96178fcba3e.

2007-05-21x86_64: vsyscall time() fixjohn stultz1-1/+4
The vsyscall time() function basically returns the second portion of xtime directly. This however means that there is about a ticks worth of time each second where time() will return a second value less then what gettimeofday() does. Additionally, this window where vtime() is behind vgettimeofday() grows when dynticks is enabled, so its probably good to get this in before dynticks lands. Big thanks to Sripathi for noticing this issue and creating a test case to work with!

2007-05-21Detach sched.h from mm.hAlexey Dobriyan1-0/+1
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock() mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why. This patch a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly. e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were getting them indirectly Net result is: a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if they don't need sched.h b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files: on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files, after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

When auditing syscalls that send signals, log the pid and security context for each target process.

2007-05-09Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki3-1/+5
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

2007-05-08x86, serial: convert legacy COM ports to platform devicesBjorn Helgaas1-0/+2
Make x86 COM ports into platform devices and don't probe for them if we have PNP. This prevents double discovery, where a device was found both by the legacy probe and by 8250_pnp, e.g., serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A 00:02: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A This also means IRDA devices without a UART PNP ID will no longer be claimed by the serial driver, which might require changes in IRDA drivers and administration. In addition to this patch, you may need to configure a setserial init script, e.g., /etc/init.d/setserial, so it doesn't poke legacy UART stuff back in. On Debian, "dpkg-reconfigure setserial" with the "kernel" option does this. To force the old legacy probe behavior even when we have PNPBIOS or ACPI, load the new legacy_serial module (or build 8250 static) with the "legacy_serial.force" option.

2007-05-08Fixes and cleanups for earlyprintk aka boot consoleGerd Hoffmann1-15/+5
The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf).

Convert over to the new NMI handling for getting IPMI watchdog timeouts via an NMI. This add config options to know if there is the ability to receive NMIs and if it has an NMI post processing call. Then it modifies the IPMI watchdog to take advantage of this so that it can know if an NMI comes in. It also adds testing that the IPMI NMI watchdog works.

2007-05-07swsusp: do not use page flagsRafael J. Wysocki1-20/+6
Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and free pages. This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for other purposes. Also, the memory needed to store the bitmaps is allocated when necessary (ie. before the suspend) and freed after the resume which is more reasonable. The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some nice simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it. I am going to implement them separately in the future.

2007-05-07Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"Linus Torvalds3-14/+13
This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(), and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which is more readable and has nicer semantics. However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced, and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later. Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add more sanity-checking of the argument.

2007-05-02MSI: arch must connect the irq and the msi_descMichael Ellerman1-2/+2
set_irq_msi() currently connects an irq_desc to an msi_desc. The archs call it at some point in their setup routine, and then the generic code sets up the reverse mapping from the msi_desc back to the irq. set_irq_msi() should do both connections, making it the one and only call required to connect an irq with it's MSI desc and vice versa. The arch code MUST call set_irq_msi(), and it must do so only once it's sure it's not going to fail the irq allocation. Given that there's no need for the arch to return the irq anymore, the return value from the arch setup routine just becomes 0 for success and anything else for failure.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Dynamically adjust machine check intervalTim Hockin1-8/+24
Background: We've found that MCEs (specifically DRAM SBEs) tend to come in bunches, especially when we are trying really hard to stress the system out. The current MCE poller uses a static interval which does not care whether it has or has not found MCEs recently. Description: This patch makes the MCE poller adjust the polling interval dynamically. If we find an MCE, poll 2x faster (down to 10 ms). When we stop finding MCEs, poll 2x slower (up to check_interval seconds). The check_interval tunable becomes the max polling interval. The "Machine check events logged" printk() is rate limited to the check_interval, which should be identical behavior to the old functionality. Result: If you start to take a lot of correctable errors (not exceptions), you log them faster and more accurately (less chance of overflowing the MCA registers). If you don't take a lot of errors, you will see no change. Alternatives: I considered simply reducing the polling interval to 10 ms immediately and keeping it there as long as we continue to find errors. This felt a bit heavy handed, but does perform significantly better for the default check_interval of 5 minutes (we're using a few seconds when testing for DRAM errors). I could be convinced to go with this, if anyone felt it was not too aggressive. Testing: I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors and verified that the polling interval accelerates. The printk() only happens once per check_interval seconds.
