2017-06-27staging: speakup: make ttyio synths use device nameOkash Khawaja
This patch introduces new module parameter, dev, which takes a string representing the device that the external synth is connected to, e.g. ttyS0, ttyUSB0 etc. This is then used to communicate with the synth. That way, speakup can support more than ttyS*. As of this patch, it only supports ttyS*, ttyUSB* and selected synths for lp*. dev parameter is only available for tty-migrated synths. Users will either use dev or ser as both serve same purpose. This patch maintains backward compatility by allowing ser to be specified. When both are specified, whichever is non-default, i.e. not ttyS0, is used. If both are non-default then dev is used.

2017-06-26perf tests: Add platform dependency to test 15Thomas Richter
This patch adds platform dependency into the test case 15 (perf_event_attr). It is based on a suggestion from Jiri Olsa. Add a new optional attribute named 'arch' in the [config] section of the test case file. It is a comma separated list of architecture names this test can be executed on. For example: arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc If this attribute is missing the test is executed on any platform. This does not break existing behavior. The values listed for this attribute should be identical to uname -m output. If the list starts with an exclamation mark (!) the comparison is inverted, for example for arch = !s390x,ppc the test is not executed on s390x or ppc platforms. The exclamation mark must be at the beginnning of the list. Here is an example debug output: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C2 arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: running './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' test limitation 'x86_64,alpha,ppc' <--- new loading expected events Event event:base-stat fd = 1 group_fd = -1 .....

2017-06-27x86/ACPI/cstate: Allow ACPI C1 FFH MWAIT use on AMD systemsYazen Ghannam
AMD systems support the Monitor/Mwait instructions and these can be used for ACPI C1 in the same way as on Intel systems. Three things are needed: 1) This patch. 2) BIOS that declares a C1 state in _CST to use FFH, with correct values. 3) CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is non-zero on the system. The BIOS on AMD systems have historically not defined a C1 state in _CST, so the acpi_idle driver uses HALT for ACPI C1. Currently released systems have CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX as reserved/RAZ. If a BIOS is released for these systems that requests a C1 state with FFH, the FFH implementation in Linux will fail since CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX is 0. The acpi_idle driver will then fallback to using HALT for ACPI C1. Future systems are expected to have non-zero CPUID_Fn00000005_EDX and BIOS support for using FFH for ACPI C1. Allow ffh_cstate_init() to succeed on AMD systems. Tested on Fam15h and Fam17h systems.

2017-06-27PM / wakeirq: Convert to SRCUThomas Gleixner
The wakeirq infrastructure uses RCU to protect the list of wakeirqs. That breaks the irq bus locking infrastructure, which is allows sleeping functions to be called so interrupt controllers behind slow busses, e.g. i2c, can be handled. The wakeirq functions hold rcu_read_lock and call into irq functions, which in case of interrupts using the irq bus locking will trigger a might_sleep() splat. Convert the wakeirq infrastructure to Sleepable RCU and unbreak it.

When the governor is set to "performance", intel_pstate does not need the scheduler hook for doing any calculations. Under these conditions, its only purpose is to continue to maintain cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq. The cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq sysfs attribute is now provided by shared x86 cpufreq code on modern x86 systems, including all systems supported by the intel_pstate driver. So in "performance" governor mode, the scheduler hook can be skipped. This applies to both in Software and Hardware P-state control modes.

2017-06-27x86: use common aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu() to calculate KHz using APERF/MPERFLen Brown
The goal of this change is to give users a uniform and meaningful result when they read /sys/...cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq on modern x86 hardware, as compared to what they get today. Modern x86 processors include the hardware needed to accurately calculate frequency over an interval -- APERF, MPERF, and the TSC. Here we provide an x86 routine to make this calculation on supported hardware, and use it in preference to any driver driver-specific cpufreq_driver.get() routine. MHz is computed like so: MHz = base_MHz * delta_APERF / delta_MPERF MHz is the average frequency of the busy processor over a measurement interval. The interval is defined to be the time between successive invocations of aperfmperf_khz_on_cpu(), which are expected to to happen on-demand when users read sysfs attribute cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq. As with previous methods of calculating MHz, idle time is excluded. base_MHz above is from TSC calibration global "cpu_khz". This x86 native method to calculate MHz returns a meaningful result no matter if P-states are controlled by hardware or firmware and/or if the Linux cpufreq sub-system is or is-not installed. When this routine is invoked more frequently, the measurement interval becomes shorter. However, the code limits re-computation to 10ms intervals so that average frequency remains meaningful. Discerning users are encouraged to take advantage of the turbostat(8) utility, which can gracefully handle concurrent measurement intervals of arbitrary length.

2017-06-26lightnvm: pblk: fail gracefully on irrec. errorJavier González
Due to user writes being decoupled from media writes because of the need of an intermediate write buffer, irrecoverable media write errors lead to pblk stalling; user writes fill up the buffer and end up in an infinite retry loop. In order to let user writes fail gracefully, it is necessary for pblk to keep track of its own internal state and prevent further writes from being placed into the write buffer. This patch implements a state machine to keep track of internal errors and, in case of failure, fail further user writes in an standard way. Depending on the type of error, pblk will do its best to persist buffered writes (which are already acknowledged) and close down on a graceful manner. This way, data might be recovered by re-instantiating pblk. Such state machine paves out the way for a state-based FTL log.

2017-06-26lightnvm: pblk: redesign GC algorithmJavier González
At the moment, in order to get enough read parallelism, we have recycled several lines at the same time. This approach has proven not to work well when reaching capacity, since we end up mixing valid data from all lines, thus not maintaining a sustainable free/recycled line ratio. The new design, relies on a two level workqueue mechanism. In the first level, we read the metadata for a number of lines based on the GC list they reside on (this is governed by the number of valid sectors in each line). In the second level, we recycle a single line at a time. Here, we issue reads in parallel, while a single GC write thread places data in the write buffer. This design allows to (i) only move data from one line at a time, thus maintaining a sane free/recycled ration and (ii) maintain the GC writer busy with recycled data.

At the moment, we separate the closed lines on three different list based on their number of valid sectors. GC recycles lines from each list based on capacity. Lines from each list are taken in a FIFO fashion. Since the number of lines is limited (it corresponds to the number of blocks in a LUN, which is somewhere between 1000-2000), we can afford scanning the lists to choose the optimal line to be recycled. This helps specially in lines with a high number of valid sectors. If the number of blocks per LUN increases, we will consider a more efficient policy.

2017-06-26lightnvm: pblk: sched. metadata on write threadJavier González
At the moment, line metadata is persisted on a separate work queue, that is kicked each time that a line is closed. The assumption when designing this was that freeing the write thread from creating a new write request was better than the potential impact of writes colliding on the media (user I/O and metadata I/O). Experimentation has proven that this assumption is wrong; collision can cause up to 25% of bandwidth and introduce long tail latencies on the write thread, which potentially cause user write threads to spend more time spinning to get a free entry on the write buffer. This patch moves the metadata logic to the write thread. When a line is closed, remaining metadata is written in memory and is placed on a metadata queue. The write thread then takes the metadata corresponding to the previous line, creates the write request and schedules it to minimize collisions on the media. Using this approach, we see that we can saturate the media's bandwidth, which helps reducing both write latencies and the spinning time for user writer threads.

Erase I/Os are scheduled with the following goals in mind: (i) minimize LUNs collisions with write I/Os, and (ii) even out the price of erasing on every write, instead of putting all the burden on when garbage collection runs. This works well on the current design, but is specific to the default mapping algorithm. This patch generalizes the erase path so that other mapping algorithms can select an arbitrary line to be erased instead. It also gets rid of the erase semaphore since it creates jittering for user writes.
