2012-11-20dt: add helper function to read u8 & u16 variables & arraysViresh Kumar1-0/+30
This adds following helper routines: - of_property_read_u8_array() - of_property_read_u16_array() - of_property_read_u8() - of_property_read_u16() This expects arrays from DT to be passed as: - u8 array: property = /bits/ 8 <0x50 0x60 0x70>; - u16 array: property = /bits/ 16 <0x5000 0x6000 0x7000>; Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com>

Neither of these should ever be changed once set. Make them const and fix up the users that try to modify it in-place. In one case kmalloc+memcpy is replaced with kstrdup() to avoid modifying the string. Build tested with defconfigs on ARM, PowerPC, Sparc, MIPS, x86 among others.

2012-11-09of/address: sparc: Declare of_address_to_resource() as an extern function for sparc againAndreas Larsson1-0/+2
This bug-fix makes sure that of_address_to_resource is defined extern for sparc so that the sparc-specific implementation of of_address_to_resource() is once again used when including include/linux/of_address.h in a sparc context. A number of drivers in mainline relies on this function working for sparc. The bug was introduced in a850a7554442f08d3e910c6eeb4ee216868dda1e, "of/address: add empty static inlines for !CONFIG_OF". Contrary to that commit title, the static inlines are added for !CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS, and CONFIG_OF_ADDRESS is never defined for sparc. This is good behavior for the other functions in include/linux/of_address.h, as the extern functions defined in drivers/of/address.c only gets linked when OF_ADDRESS is configured. However, for of_address_to_resource there exists a sparc-specific implementation in arch/sparc/arch/sparc/kernel/of_device_common.c Solution suggested by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2012-11-09revert "epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app"Andrew Morton1-1/+0
Revert commit 03a7beb55b9f ("epoll: support for disabling items, and a self-test app") pending resolution of the issues identified by Michael Kerrisk, copied below. We'll revisit this for 3.8. : I've taken a look at this patch as it currently stands in 3.7-rc1, and : done a bit of testing. (By the way, the test program : tools/testing/selftests/epoll/test_epoll.c does not compile...) : : There are one or two places where the behavior seems a little strange, : so I have a question or two at the end of this mail. But other than : that, I want to check my understanding so that the interface can be : correctly documented. : : Just to go though my understanding, the problem is the following : scenario in a multithreaded application: : : 1. Multiple threads are performing epoll_wait() operations, : and maintaining a user-space cache that contains information : corresponding to each file descriptor being monitored by : epoll_wait(). : : 2. At some point, a thread wants to delete (EPOLL_CTL_DEL) : a file descriptor from the epoll interest list, and : delete the corresponding record from the user-space cache. : : 3. The problem with (2) is that some other thread may have : previously done an epoll_wait() that retrieved information : about the fd in question, and may be in the middle of using : information in the cache that relates to that fd. Thus, : there is a potential race. : : 4. The race can't solved purely in user space, because doing : so would require applying a mutex across the epoll_wait() : call, which would of course blow thread concurrency. : : Right? : : Your solution is the EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE operation. I want to : confirm my understanding about how to use this flag, since : the description that has accompanied the patches so far : has been a bit sparse : : 0. In the scenario you're concerned about, deleting a file : descriptor means (safely) doing the following: : (a) Deleting the file descriptor from the epoll interest list : using EPOLL_CTL_DEL : (b) Deleting the corresponding record in the user-space cache : : 1. It's only meaningful to use this EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE in : conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. : : 2. Using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE without using EPOLLONESHOT in : conjunction is a logical error. : : 3. The correct way to code multithreaded applications using : EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE and EPOLLONESHOT is as follows: : : a. All EPOLL_CTL_ADD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD operations should : should EPOLLONESHOT. : : b. When a thread wants to delete a file descriptor, it : should do the following: : : [1] Call epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : [2] If the return status from epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) : was zero, then the file descriptor can be safely : deleted by the thread that made this call. : [3] If the epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY, : then the descriptor is in use. In this case, the calling : thread should set a flag in the user-space cache to : indicate that the thread that is using the descriptor : should perform the deletion operation. : : Is all of the above correct? : : The implementation depends on checking on whether : (events & ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) == 0 : This replies on the fact that EPOLL_CTL_AD and EPOLL_CTL_MOD always : set EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR in the 'events' mask, and EPOLLONESHOT : causes those flags (as well as all others in ~EP_PRIVATE_BITS) to be : cleared. : : A corollary to the previous paragraph is that using EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE : is only useful in conjunction with EPOLLONESHOT. However, as things : stand, one can use EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE on a file descriptor that does : not have EPOLLONESHOT set in 'events' This results in the following : (slightly surprising) behavior: : : (a) The first call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) returns 0 : (the indicator that the file descriptor can be safely deleted). : (b) The next call to epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) fails with EBUSY. : : This doesn't seem particularly useful, and in fact is probably an : indication that the user made a logic error: they should only be using : epoll_ctl(EPOLL_CTL_DISABLE) on a file descriptor for which : EPOLLONESHOT was set in 'events'. If that is correct, then would it : not make sense to return an error to user space for this case? Cc: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com> Cc: "Paton J.

After commit b3356bf0dbb349 (KVM: emulator: optimize "rep ins" handling), the pieces of io data can be collected and write them to the guest memory or MMIO together Unfortunately, kvm splits the mmio access into 8 bytes and store them to vcpu->mmio_fragments. If the guest uses "rep ins" to move large data, it will cause vcpu->mmio_fragments overflow The bug can be exposed by isapc (-M isapc): [23154.818733] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP DEBUG_PAGEALLOC [ ......] [23154.858083] Call Trace: [23154.859874] [<ffffffffa04f0e17>] kvm_get_cr8+0x1d/0x28 [kvm] [23154.861677] [<ffffffffa04fa6d4>] kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xcda/0xe45 [kvm] [23154.863604] [<ffffffffa04f5a1a>] ? kvm_arch_vcpu_load+0x17b/0x180 [kvm] Actually, we can use one mmio_fragment to store a large mmio access then split it when we pass the mmio-exit-info to userspace.

2012-10-31xen/mmu: Use Xen specific TLB flush instead of the generic one.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk1-0/+8
As Mukesh explained it, the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_ALL allows the hypervisor to do a TLB flush on all active vCPUs. If instead we were using the generic one (which ends up being xen_flush_tlb) we end up making the MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_LOCAL hypercall. But before we make that hypercall the kernel will IPI all of the vCPUs (even those that were asleep from the hypervisor perspective). The end result is that we needlessly wake them up and do a TLB flush when we can just let the hypervisor do it correctly. This patch gives around 50% speed improvement when migrating idle guest's from one host to another.

2012-10-28percpu-rw-semaphores: use rcu_read_lock_schedMikulas Patocka1-4/+4
Use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched / synchronize_sched instead of rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock / synchronize_rcu. This is an optimization. The RCU-protected region is very small, so there will be no latency problems if we disable preempt in this region. So we use rcu_read_lock_sched / rcu_read_unlock_sched that translates to preempt_disable / preempt_disable. It is smaller (and supposedly faster) than preemptible rcu_read_lock / rcu_read_unlock.

2012-10-28percpu-rw-semaphores: use light/heavy barriersMikulas Patocka1-13/+7
This patch introduces new barrier pair light_mb() and heavy_mb() for percpu rw semaphores. This patch fixes a bug in percpu-rw-semaphores where a barrier was missing in percpu_up_write. This patch improves performance on the read path of percpu-rw-semaphores: on non-x86 cpus, there was a smp_mb() in percpu_up_read. This patch changes it to a compiler barrier and removes the "#if defined(X86) ..." condition.
