2010-07-09hvc_console: use "*_console" nomenclature to avoid modpost warning.Chris Metcalf1-6/+6
The use of "hvc_con_driver" as the name for a file-static "struct console" with a ".setup" field pointing to an __init function causes a modpost warning, since a non-initdata structure points to init code. Using "hvc_console" as the name triggers the hacky "*_console" workaround in modpost to silence the warning, and is the same thing that most of the other console drivers already do. I made the same change in hvsi.c since I happened to notice it was likely to suffer from the same problem.

2010-04-08hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_removeAnton Blanchard1-4/+0
I don't claim to understand the tty layer, but it seems like hvc_open and hvc_close should be balanced in their kref reference counting. Right now we get a kref every call to hvc_open: if (hp->count++ > 0) { tty_kref_get(tty); <----- here spin_unlock_irqrestore(&hp->lock, flags); hvc_kick(); return 0; } /* else count == 0 */ tty->driver_data = hp; hp->tty = tty_kref_get(tty); <------ or here if hp->count was 0 But hvc_close has: tty_kref_get(tty); if (--hp->count == 0) { ... /* Put the ref obtained in hvc_open() */ tty_kref_put(tty); ... } tty_kref_put(tty); Since the outside kref get/put balance we only do a single kref_put when count reaches 0. The patch below changes things to call tty_kref_put once for every hvc_close call, and with that my machine boots fine.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.hTejun Heo1-0/+1
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-19hvc_console: Fix race between hvc_close and hvc_removeAmit Shah1-10/+21
Alan pointed out a race in the code where hvc_remove is invoked. The recent virtio_console work is the first user of hvc_remove(). Alan describes it thus: The hvc_console assumes that a close and remove call can't occur at the same time. In addition tty_hangup(tty) is problematic as tty_hangup is asynchronous itself.... So this can happen hvc_close hvc_remove hung up ? - no lock tty = hp->tty unlock lock hp->tty = NULL unlock notify del kref_put the hvc struct close completes tty is destroyed tty_hangup dead tty tty->ops will be NULL NULL->... This patch adds some tty krefs and also converts to using tty_vhangup().

Rename the locking free hvc_resize() function to __hvc_resize() and provide an inline function that locks the hvc_struct and calls __hvc_resize(). The rationale for this patch is that virtio_console calls the hvc_resize() function without locking the hvc_struct. So it needs to call the lock itself.

2009-01-16hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latencyHendrik Brueckner1-2/+0
This patch removes the tty->low_latency setting. For irq based hvc_console backends the tty->low_latency must be set to 0, because the tty_flip_buffer_push() function must not be called from IRQ context (see drivers/char/tty_buffer.c). For polled backends, the low_latency setting causes the bug trace below, because tty_flip_buffer_push() is called within an atomic context and subsequent calls might sleep due to mutex_lock.

2008-12-21hvc_console: Escape magic sysrq keyHendrik Brueckner1-2/+5
The ctrl-o (^O) is a common control key used by several applications, such as vim, but hvc_console uses ^O as the magic-sysrq key. This commit allows users to send ^O to applications by pressing ^O twice in succession. To implement this, this commit introduces a check if ^O is pressed again if the sysrq_pressed variable is already set. In this case, clear sysrq_pressed state and flip the ^O character to the tty. (The old behavior has always set "sysrq_pressed" if ^O has been entered, and it has not flipped the ^O character to the tty.)

2008-10-22hvc_console: Add support for tty window resizingHendrik Brueckner1-0/+58
The patch provides the hvc_resize() function to update the terminal window dimensions (struct winsize) for a specified hvc console. The function stores the new window size and schedules a function that finally updates the tty winsize and signals the change to user space (SIGWINCH). Because the winsize update must acquire a mutex and might sleep, the function is scheduled instead of being called from hvc_poll() or khvcd. This patch uses the tty_do_resize() routine from the tty layer. A pending resize work is canceled in hvc_close() and hvc_hangup().

2008-10-22hvc_console: Fix loop if put_char() returns 0Hendrik Brueckner1-9/+11
If put_char() routine of a hvc console backend returns 0, then the hvc console starts looping in the following scenarios: 1. hvc_console_print() If put_char() returns 0 then the while loop may loop forever. I have added the missing check for 0 to throw away console messages. 2. khvcd may loop: The thread calls hvc_poll() --> hvc_push()... if there are still buffered data then the HVC_POLL_WRITE bit is set and causes the khvcd thread to loop (if yield() returns immediately). However, instead of looping, the khvcd thread could sleep for MIN_TIMEOUT (doing the same as for get_chars()). The MIN_TIMEOUT is set if hvc_push() was not able to write data to the backend. If data has been written, the timeout is set to 0 to immediately re-schedule hvc_poll().

2008-10-13drivers/char/hvc_console.c: adjust call to put_tty_driverJulia Lawall1-2/+2
The call to put_tty_driver is out of place and is applied to the wrong argument. The function enclosing the patched code calls alloc_tty_driver and stores the result in drv. Subsequently, there are two occurrences of error handling code, one making a goto to put_tty and one making a goto to stop_thread. At the point of the first one the assignment hvc_driver = drv has not yet been executed, and from inspecting the rest of the file it seems that hvc_driver would be NULL. Thus the current call to put_tty_driver is useless, and one applied to drv is needed. The goto stop_thread is in the error handling code for a call to tty_register_driver, but the error cases in tty_register_driver do not free its argument, so it should be done here. Thus, I have moved the put_tty label after the stop_thread label, so that put_tty_driver is called in both cases. The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r exists@ local idexpression x; expression E,f; position p1,p2,p3; identifier l; statement S; @@ x = alloc_tty_driver@p1(...) ... if (x == NULL) S ... when != E = x when != put_tty_driver(x) goto@p2 l; ... when != E = x when != f(...,x,...) when any ( return \(0\|x\); | return@p3 ...; ) @script:python@ p1 << r.p1; p2 << r.p2; p3 << r.p3; @@ print "%s: call on line %s not freed or saved before return on line %s via line %s" % (p1[0].file,p1[0].line,p3[0].line,p2[0].line) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

(an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2007-07-17Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by defaultRafael J. Wysocki1-0/+1
Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't care for the freezing of tasks at all. It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is done in this patch. The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable() function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional) change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to describe the freezing of tasks more accurately. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Add a back-off mechanism to hvc_console's polling logic. This change drops the timers/second ratio from ~90 to ~1/2 while the console is idle. This change is most noticeable when watching /proc/timer_stats output. This only affects when the hvc_console is running in poll mode, i.e. power4 and cell systems.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells1-2/+2
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2006-10-02[PATCH] const struct tty_operationsJeff Dike1-1/+1
As part of an SMP cleanliness pass over UML, I consted a bunch of structures in order to not have to document their locking. One of these structures was a struct tty_operations. In order to const it in UML without introducing compiler complaints, the declaration of tty_set_operations needs to be changed, and then all of its callers need to be fixed. This patch declares all struct tty_operations in the tree as const. In all cases, they are static and used only as input to tty_set_operations. As an extra check, I ran an i386 allyesconfig build which produced no extra warnings. 53 drivers are affected. I checked the history of a bunch of them, and in most cases, there have been only a handful of maintenance changes in the last six months. serial_core.c was the busiest one that I looked at.

2006-09-13[POWERPC] Quiet hvc_console console output on failed opensOlof Johansson1-3/+1
No other tty driver will print on the console when the open of it fails. On systems that happen to be configured for both ttyS0 and hvc0 console, this will keep flooding the console output. This is most likely to happen with systems booted between with and without hypervisor from the same filesystem. Let's just remove it. When it's really needed (i.e. when the open fails and someone is trying to debug it), noone will see the output anyway. And init will report the opens failing in due time through the syslog.
