2015-04-08pinctrl: bcm2835: Fix support for threaded level triggered IRQsCharles Keepax
Currently, the driver uses handle_simple_irq for all IRQ types and hard codes the acknowledge for different IRQ types into the handler. It is better to use the IRQ core as intended and let it handle the differences between the various types of IRQ. For example the current system does not work for threaded level triggered IRQs as these need to be masked until the threaded handler has run.

2015-04-08ARM: mvebu: use 0xf1000000 as internal registers on Armada 370 DBThomas Petazzoni
All Marvell EBU SoCs (Kirkwood, Dove, Orion, Armada) have the capability of changing the location of their internal registers (i.e the registers for most hardware blocks inside the SoC). When coming out of reset, the internal registers are mapped at 0xd0000000, but since years and years, the tradition has been to have the internal registers remapped at 0xf1000000 by the bootloader, and Linux has since then assumed that the internal registers for the SoC were located at 0xf1000000 on Kirkwood, Dove, Orion, etc. Linux has never been aware that those registers are remappable (and there is no way to know where they are mapped at runtime, since the register to configure the address of the registers is itself within the internal registers). Then came the Armada 370 and Armada XP, in which some of the very early silicon steppings had an issue, which forced to use 0xd0000000: the SoC was no longer working properly when the internal registers were remapped at 0xf1000000. This issue is only affecting very early silicon steppings and production steppings are not affected: the issue has been fixed in between. Since what we (Free Electrons) used to do the initial submission of the Armada 370 and Armada XP platforms was evaluation boards with those very early steppings, we submitted Device Tree that assumed the internal registers were mapped at 0xd0000000. This is the case for Armada 370 DB, Armada XP DB and Armada XP GP. However, in practice, since Marvell has been shipping the evaluation boards with production steppings of the SoC, they are shipping those boards with bootloaders that remap the registers to 0xf1000000. We have already changed this internal register address to 0xf1000000 for the Armada XP DB in commit 82066bdb5a75 and for the Armada XP GP in commit 91ed32200e6e (both merged in v3.15). We only recently got our hand on an Armada 370 DB with a production stepping of the SoC, which uses a bootloader that remaps internal registers at 0xf1000000. Therefore, this commit aligns the Armada 370 DB to be like the Armada XP DB and Armada XP GP: assume that the internal registers are mapped at 0xf1000000. We would like to stress out the fact that the usage of 0xd0000000 as the internal register base address was a temporary workaround for early steppings deficiencies, and that the real long-term solution is the usage of 0xf1000000. Having 0xd0000000 is an *accident* in the life of the Marvell platform support in the kernel, as is confirmed by the usage of 0xf1000000 in all previous Marvell platforms (Dove, Kirkwood, Orion). There are unfortunately a number of commercial devices that continue to use 0xd0000000 even though they use production steppings of the SoC, simply because the vendors of such devices have never bothered using a more recent bootloader version from Marvell. There is not much we can do about it, and we plan on keeping 0xd0000000 in the Device Tree of such devices. The main reason for remapping the internal registers at 0xf1000000 instead of 0xd0000000 is that it leaves more space in the 0 -> 4 GB part of the physical address space for RAM. With registers at 0xd0000000, all RAM between 0xd0000000 to 0xffffffff is lost because it's covered by the I/O registers.

2015-04-08gpio: mvebu: Fix mask/unmask managment per irq chip typeGregory CLEMENT
Level IRQ handlers and edge IRQ handler are managed by tow different sets of registers. But currently the driver uses the same mask for the both registers. It lead to issues with the following scenario: First, an IRQ is requested on a GPIO to be triggered on front. After, this an other IRQ is requested for a GPIO of the same bank but triggered on level. Then the first one will be also setup to be triggered on level. It leads to an interrupt storm. The different kind of handler are already associated with two different irq chip type. With this patch the driver uses a private mask for each one which solves this issue. It has been tested on an Armada XP based board and on an Armada 375 board. For the both boards, with this patch is applied, there is no such interrupt storm when running the previous scenario. This bug was already fixed but in a different way in the legacy version of this driver by Evgeniy Dushistov: 9ece8839b1277fb9128ff6833411614ab6c88d68 "ARM: orion: Fix for certain sequence of request_irq can cause irq storm".

2015-04-08gfs2: fix quota refresh race in do_glock()Abhi Das
quotad periodically syncs in-memory quotas to the ondisk quota file and sets the QDF_REFRESH flag so that a subsequent read of a synced quota is re-read from disk. gfs2_quota_lock() checks for this flag and sets a 'force' bit to force re-read from disk if requested. However, there is a race condition here. It is possible for gfs2_quota_lock() to find the QDF_REFRESH flag unset (i.e force=0) and quotad comes in immediately after and syncs the relevant quota and sets the QDF_REFRESH flag. gfs2_quota_lock() resumes with force=0 and uses the stale in-memory quota usage values that result in miscalculations. This patch fixes this race by moving the check for the QDF_REFRESH flag check further out into the gfs2_quota_lock() process, i.e, in do_glock(), under the protection of the quota glock.

2015-04-08crypto: atmel-aes - sync the buf used in DMA or CPULeilei Zhao
The input buffer and output buffer are mapped for DMA transfer in Atmel AES driver. But they are also be used by CPU when the requested crypt length is not bigger than the threshold value 16. The buffers will be cached in cache line when CPU accessed them. When DMA uses the buffers again, the memory can happened to be flushed by cache while DMA starts transfer. So using API dma_sync_single_for_device and dma_sync_single_for_cpu in DMA to ensure DMA coherence and CPU always access the correct value. This fix the issue that the encrypted result periodically goes wrong when doing performance test with OpenSSH.

2015-04-08crypto: atmel-sha - correct the way data are splitLudovic Desroches
When a hash is requested on data bigger than the buffer allocated by the SHA driver, the way DMA transfers are performed is quite strange: The buffer is filled at each update request. When full, a DMA transfer is done. On next update request, another DMA transfer is done. Then we wait to have a full buffer (or the end of the data) to perform the dma transfer. Such a situation lead sometimes, on SAMA5D4, to a case where dma transfer is finished but the data ready irq never comes. Moreover hash was incorrect in this case. With this patch, dma transfers are only performed when the buffer is full or when there is no more data. So it removes the transfer whose size is equal the update size after the full buffer transmission.

2015-04-08tracing: Add TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro to map enums to their valuesSteven Rostedt (Red Hat)
Several tracepoints use the helper functions __print_symbolic() or __print_flags() and pass in enums that do the mapping between the binary data stored and the value to print. This works well for reading the ASCII trace files, but when the data is read via userspace tools such as perf and trace-cmd, the conversion of the binary value to a human string format is lost if an enum is used, as userspace does not have access to what the ENUM is. For example, the tracepoint trace_tlb_flush() has: __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH, "flush on task switch" }, { TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN, "remote shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN, "local shootdown" }, { TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN, "local mm shootdown" }) Which maps the enum values to the strings they represent. But perf and trace-cmd do no know what value TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN is, and would not be able to map it. With TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(), developers can place these in the event header files and ftrace will convert the enums to their values: By adding: TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_FLUSH_ON_TASK_SWITCH); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_REMOTE_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_SHOOTDOWN); TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM(TLB_LOCAL_MM_SHOOTDOWN); $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/tlb/tlb_flush/format [...] __print_symbolic(REC->reason, { 0, "flush on task switch" }, { 1, "remote shootdown" }, { 2, "local shootdown" }, { 3, "local mm shootdown" }) The above is what userspace expects to see, and tools do not need to be modified to parse them.

Testing this, it did not increases the size of the text, except for the notes section, which should not harm the real size any.

2015-04-08perf sched replay: Fix the EMFILE error caused by the limitation of the ↵Yunlong Song
maximum open files The soft maximum number of open files for a calling process is 1024, which is defined as INR_OPEN_CUR in include/uapi/linux/fs.h, and the hard maximum number of open files for a calling process is 4096, which is defined as INR_OPEN_MAX in include/uapi/linux/fs.h. Both INR_OPEN_CUR and INR_OPEN_MAX are used to limit the value of RLIMIT_NOFILE in include/asm-generic/resource.h. And the soft maximum number finally decides the limitation of the maximum files which are allowed to be opened. That is to say a process can use at most 1024 file descriptors for its o pened files, or an EMFILE error will happen. This error can be fixed by increasing the soft maximum number, under the constraint that the soft maximum number can not exceed the hard maximum number, or both soft and hard maximum number should be increased simultaneously with privilege. For perf sched replay, it uses sys_perf_event_open to create the file descriptor for each of the tasks in order to handle information of perf events. That is to say each task needs a unique file descriptor. In x86_64, there may be over 1024 or 4096 tasks correspoinding to the record in perf.data, which causes that no enough file descriptors can be used. As a result, EMFILE error happens and stops the replay process. To solve this problem, we adaptively increase the soft and hard maximum number of open files with a '-f' option.

2015-04-08perf sched replay: Handle the dead halt of sem_wait when create_tasks() ↵Yunlong Song
fails for any task Since there is sem_wait for each task in the wait_for_tasks(), e.g. sem_wait(&task->work_done_sem). The sem_wait can continue only when work_done_sem is greater than 0, or it will be blocked. For perf sched replay, one task may sem_post the work_done_sem of another task, which causes the work_done_sem of that task processed in a reasonable sequence, e.g. sem_post, sem_wait, sem_wait, sem_post... This sequence simulates the sched process of the running tasks at the time when perf sched record runs. As a result, all the tasks are required and their threads must be successfully created. If any one (task A) of the tasks fails to create its thread, then another task (task B), whose work_done_sem needs sem_post from that failed task A, may likely block itself due to seg_wait. And this is a dead halt, since task B's thread_func cannot continue at all. To solve this problem, perf sched replay should exit once any task fails to create its thread. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) ------------------------------------------------------------ <- dead halt After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Error: sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with -1 (Too many open files) $ As shown above, perf sched replay finishes the process after printing an error message and does not block itself.

2015-04-08perf sched replay: Fix the segmentation fault problem caused by pr_err in ↵Yunlong Song
threads The pr_err in self_open_counters() prints error message to stderr. Unlike stdout, stderr uses memory buffer on the stack of each calling process. The pr_err in self_open_counters() works in a thread called thread_func created in function create_tasks, which concurrently creates sched->nr_tasks threads. If the error happens and pr_err prints the error message in each of these threads, the stack size of the perf process (default is 8192 kbytes) will quickly run out and the segmentation fault will happen then. To solve this problem, pr_err with self_open_counters() should be moved from newly created threads to the old main thread of the perf process. Then the pr_err can work in a stable situation without the strange segmentation fault problem. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores Before this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 Segmentation fault After this patch: $ perf sched replay ... task 1549 ( :163132: 163132), nr_events: 1 task 1550 ( :163540: 163540), nr_events: 1 task 1551 ( <unknown>: 0), nr_events: 10 ...

2015-04-08perf sched replay: Realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise to adapt to ↵Yunlong Song
the different pid_max configurations Although the memory of pid_to_task can be allocated via calloc according to the value of /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max, it cannot handle the case when pid_max is changed after 'perf sched record' has created its perf.data. If the new pid_max configured in 'perf sched replay' is smaller than the old pid_max configured in 'perf sched record', then it will cause the assertion failure problem. To solve this problem, we realloc the memory of pid_to_task stepwise once the passed-in pid parameter in register_pid is larger than the current pid_max.

2015-04-08perf sched replay: Alloc the memory of pid_to_task dynamically to adapt to ↵Yunlong Song
the unexpected change of pid_max The current memory allocation of struct task_desc *pid_to_task[MAX_PID] is in a permanent and preset way, and it has two problems: Problem 1: If the pid_max, which is the max number of pids in the system, is much smaller than MAX_PID (1024*1000), then it causes a waste of stack memory. This may happen in the case where the number of cpu cores is much smaller than 1000. Problem 2: If the pid_max is changed from the default value to a value larger than MAX_PID, then it will cause assertion failure problem. The maximum value of pid_max can be set to pid_max_max (see pidmap_init defined in kernel/pid.c), which equals to PID_MAX_LIMIT. In x86_64, PID_MAX_LIMIT is 4*1024*1024 (defined in include/linux/threads.h). This value is much larger than MAX_PID, and will take up 32768 Kbytes (4*1024*1024*8/1024) for memory allocation of pid_to_task, which is much larger than the default 8192 Kbytes of the stack size of calling process. Due to these two problems, we use calloc to allocate the memory of pid_to_task dynamically. Example: Test environment: x86_64 with 160 cores $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 163840 $ echo 1025000 > /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max 1025000 Run some applications until the pid of some process is greater than the value of MAX_PID (1024*1000).
