Commit ff1f0018cf66080d8e6f59791e552615648a033a ("drivers: Enable
building of Kirkwood drivers for mach-mvebu") added Kirkwood into
mach-mvebu, adding MACH_KIRKWOOD to ARCH_KIRKWOOD in the KConfig files.
The change for ARM_KIRKWOOD_CPUFREQ replaced ARCH_KIRKWOOD with
MACH_KIRKWOOD, whereas all the other changes were ARCH_KIRKWOOD ||
MACH_KIRKWOOD.
As a consequence of this change, the cpufreq driver is no longer enabled
for ARCH_KIRKWOOD. This patch reinstates ARM_KIRKWOOD_CPUFREQ for
ARCH_KIRKWOOD.

It is currently not possible for various wait_on_bit functions
to implement a timeout.
While the "action" function that is called to do the waiting
could certainly use schedule_timeout(), there is no way to carry
forward the remaining timeout after a false wake-up.
As false-wakeups a clearly possible at least due to possible
hash collisions in bit_waitqueue(), this is a real problem.
The 'action' function is currently passed a pointer to the word
containing the bit being waited on. No current action functions
use this pointer. So changing it to something else will be a
little noisy but will have no immediate effect.
This patch changes the 'action' function to take a pointer to
the "struct wait_bit_key", which contains a pointer to the word
containing the bit so nothing is really lost.
It also adds a 'private' field to "struct wait_bit_key", which
is initialized to zero.
An action function can now implement a timeout with something
like
static int timed_out_waiter(struct wait_bit_key *key)
{
unsigned long waited;
if (key->private == 0) {
key->private = jiffies;
if (key->private == 0)
key->private -= 1;
}
waited = jiffies - key->private;
if (waited > 10 * HZ)
return -EAGAIN;
schedule_timeout(waited - 10 * HZ);
return 0;
}
If any other need for context in a waiter were found it would be
easy to use ->private for some other purpose, or even extend
"struct wait_bit_key".
My particular need is to support timeouts in nfs_release_page()
to avoid deadlocks with loopback mounted NFS.
While wait_on_bit_timeout() would be a cleaner interface, it
will not meet my need. I need the timeout to be sensitive to
the state of the connection with the server, which could change.
So I need to use an 'action' interface.

The current "wait_on_bit" interface requires an 'action'
function to be provided which does the actual waiting.
There are over 20 such functions, many of them identical.
Most cases can be satisfied by one of just two functions, one
which uses io_schedule() and one which just uses schedule().
So:
Rename wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock to
wait_on_bit_action and wait_on_bit_lock_action
to make it explicit that they need an action function.
Introduce new wait_on_bit{,_lock} and wait_on_bit{,_lock}_io
which are *not* given an action function but implicitly use
a standard one.
The decision to error-out if a signal is pending is now made
based on the 'mode' argument rather than being encoded in the action
function.
All instances of the old wait_on_bit and wait_on_bit_lock which
can use the new version have been changed accordingly and their
action functions have been discarded.
wait_on_bit{_lock} does not return any specific error code in the
event of a signal so the caller must check for non-zero and
interpolate their own error code as appropriate.
The wait_on_bit() call in __fscache_wait_on_invalidate() was
ambiguous as it specified TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE but used
fscache_wait_bit_interruptible as an action function.
David Howells confirms this should be uniformly
"uninterruptible"
The main remaining user of wait_on_bit{,_lock}_action is NFS
which needs to use a freezer-aware schedule() call.
A comment in fs/gfs2/glock.c notes that having multiple 'action'
functions is useful as they display differently in the 'wchan'
field of 'ps'. (and /proc/$PID/wchan).
As the new bit_wait{,_io} functions are tagged "__sched", they
will not show up at all, but something higher in the stack. So
the distinction will still be visible, only with different
function names (gds2_glock_wait versus gfs2_glock_dq_wait in the
gfs2/glock.c case).
Since first version of this patch (against 3.15) two new action
functions appeared, on in NFS and one in CIFS. CIFS also now
uses an action function that makes the same freezer aware
schedule call as NFS.

The optimistic spin code assumes regular stores and cmpxchg() play nice;
this is found to not be true for at least: parisc, sparc32, tile32,
metag-lock1, arc-!llsc and hexagon.
There is further wreckage, but this in particular seemed easy to
trigger, so blacklist this.
Opt in for known good archs.

Recent optimistic spinning additions to rwsem provide significant performance
benefits on many workloads on large machines. The cost of it was increasing
the size of the rwsem structure by up to 128 bits.
However, now that the previous patches in this series bring the overhead of
struct optimistic_spin_queue to 32 bits, this patch reorders some fields in
struct rw_semaphore such that we can reduce the overhead of the rwsem structure
by 64 bits (on 64 bit systems).
The extra overhead required for rwsem optimistic spinning would now be up
to 8 additional bytes instead of up to 16 bytes. Additionally, the size of
rwsem would now be more in line with mutexes.

There are two definitions of struct rw_semaphore, one in linux/rwsem.h
and one in linux/rwsem-spinlock.h.
For some reason they have different names for the initial field. This
makes it impossible to use C99 named initialization for
__RWSEM_INITIALIZER() -- or we have to duplicate that entire thing
along with the structure definitions.
The simpler patch is renaming the rwsem-spinlock variant to match the
regular rwsem.
This allows us to switch to C99 named initialization.

As pointed out by Andi Kleen, the usage of static keys can be racy in
sched_feat_disable() vs. sched_feat_enable(). Currently, we first check the
value of keys->enabled, and subsequently update the branch direction. This,
can be racy and can potentially leave the keys in an inconsistent state.
Take the i_mutex around these calls to resolve the race.

We always use resched_task() with rq->curr argument.
It's not possible to reschedule any task but rq's current.
The patch introduces resched_curr(struct rq *) to
replace all of the repeating patterns. The main aim
is cleanup, but there is a little size profit too:
(before)
$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
text data bss dec hex filename
155274 16445 7042 178761 2ba49 kernel/sched/built-in.o
$ size vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
7411490 1178376 991232 9581098 92322a vmlinux
(after)
$ size kernel/sched/built-in.o
text data bss dec hex filename
155130 16445 7042 178617 2b9b9 kernel/sched/built-in.o
$ size vmlinux
text data bss dec hex filename
7411362 1178376 991232 9580970 9231aa vmlinux
I was choosing between resched_curr() and resched_rq(),
and the first name looks better for me.
A little lie in Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt. I have not
actually collected the tracing again. With a hope the patch
won't make execution times much worse :)

proc_sched_show_task() does:
if (nr_switches)
do_div(avg_atom, nr_switches);
nr_switches is unsigned long and do_div truncates it to 32 bits, which
means it can test non-zero on e.g. x86-64 and be truncated to zero for
division.
Fix the problem by using div64_ul() instead.
As a side effect calculations of avg_atom for big nr_switches are now correct.

It's unnecessary to excessively spam the kernel log anytime the BTS buffer
cannot be allocated, so make this allocation __GFP_NOWARN.
The user probably will want to at least find some artifact that the
allocation has failed in the past, probably due to fragmentation because
of its large size, when it's not allocated at bootstrap. Thus, add a
WARN_ONCE() so something is left behind for them to understand why perf
commnads that require PEBS is not working properly.

In the unlock function of the cancellable MCS spinlock, the first
thing we do is to retrive the current CPU's osq node. However, due to
the changes made in the previous patch, in the common case where the
lock is not contended, we wouldn't need to access the current CPU's
osq node anymore.
This patch optimizes this by only retriving this CPU's osq node
after we attempt the initial cmpxchg to unlock the osq and found
that its contended.

The cancellable MCS spinlock is currently used to queue threads that are
doing optimistic spinning. It uses per-cpu nodes, where a thread obtaining
the lock would access and queue the local node corresponding to the CPU that
it's running on. Currently, the cancellable MCS lock is implemented by using
pointers to these nodes.
In this patch, instead of operating on pointers to the per-cpu nodes, we
store the CPU numbers in which the per-cpu nodes correspond to in atomic_t.
A similar concept is used with the qspinlock.
By operating on the CPU # of the nodes using atomic_t instead of pointers
to those nodes, this can reduce the overhead of the cancellable MCS spinlock
by 32 bits (on 64 bit systems).

Currently, the per-cpu nodes structure for the cancellable MCS spinlock is
named "optimistic_spin_queue". However, in a follow up patch in the series
we will be introducing a new structure that serves as the new "handle" for
the lock. It would make more sense if that structure is named
"optimistic_spin_queue". Additionally, since the current use of the
"optimistic_spin_queue" structure are "nodes", it might be better if we
rename them to "node" anyway.
This preparatory patch renames all current "optimistic_spin_queue"
to "optimistic_spin_node".

Commit 4fc828e24cd9 ("locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning")
introduced a major performance regression for workloads such as
xfs_repair which mix read and write locking of the mmap_sem across
many threads. The result was xfs_repair ran 5x slower on 3.16-rc2
than on 3.15 and using 20x more system CPU time.
Perf profiles indicate in some workloads that significant time can
be spent spinning on !owner. This is because we don't set the lock
owner when readers(s) obtain the rwsem.
In this patch, we'll modify rwsem_can_spin_on_owner() such that we'll
return false if there is no lock owner. The rationale is that if we
just entered the slowpath, yet there is no lock owner, then there is
a possibility that a reader has the lock. To be conservative, we'll
avoid spinning in these situations.
This patch reduced the total run time of the xfs_repair workload from
about 4 minutes 24 seconds down to approximately 1 minute 26 seconds,
back to close to the same performance as on 3.15.
Retesting of AIM7, which were some of the workloads used to test the
original optimistic spinning code, confirmed that we still get big
performance gains with optimistic spinning, even with this additional
regression fix. Davidlohr found that while the 'custom' workload took
a performance hit of ~-14% to throughput for >300 users with this
additional patch, the overall gain with optimistic spinning is
still ~+45%. The 'disk' workload even improved by ~+15% at >1000 users.

With -cpu host, KVM reports LBR and extra_regs support, if the host has
support.
When the guest perf driver tries to access LBR or extra_regs MSR,
it #GPs all MSR accesses,since KVM doesn't handle LBR and extra_regs support.
So check the related MSRs access right once at initialization time to avoid
the error access at runtime.
For reproducing the issue, please build the kernel with CONFIG_KVM_INTEL = y
(for host kernel).
And CONFIG_PARAVIRT = n and CONFIG_KVM_GUEST = n (for guest kernel).
Start the guest with -cpu host.
Run perf record with --branch-any or --branch-filter in guest to trigger LBR
Run perf stat offcore events (E.g. LLC-loads/LLC-load-misses ...) in guest to
trigger offcore_rsp #GP

Urgh.. so the only way I can make that happen is through:
perf_event_exit_task_context()
raw_spin_lock(&child_ctx->lock);
unclone_ctx(child_ctx)
put_ctx(ctx->parent_ctx);
raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&child_ctx->lock);
And we can avoid this by doing the change below.
I can't immediately see how this changed recently, but given that you
say it's easy to reproduce, lets fix this.

Vince reported that commit 15a2d4de0eab5 ("perf: Always destroy groups
on exit") causes a regression with grouped events. In particular his
read_group_attached.c test fails.
https://github.com/deater/perf_event_tests/blob/master/tests/bugs/read_group_attached.c
Because of the context switch optimization in
perf_event_context_sched_out() the 'original' event may end up in the
child process and when that exits the change in the patch in question
destroys the actual grouping.
Therefore revert that change and only destroy inherited groups.

The PSW_MASK_USER define contains the PSW_MASK_ASC bits, the ptrace
interface accepts all combinations for the address-space-control

to reject the address-space-control bit combination for home space.

MSI irqchip in s390 has its own mask and unmask MSI irq
functions, zpci_enable_irq() and zpci_disable_irq().
They mask and unmask MSI irq in standard ways, no arch
special. MSI driver provides two global standard functions
mask_msi_irq() and unmask_msi_irq(). Local zpci_enable_irq()
and zpci_disable_irq() are almost the same as the standard
two. the difference is local mask/unmask functions
read the mask status before mask and unmask everytime.
Then change the value and rewrite to hardware. In standard
functions, save the mask status after mask and unmask msi
irq, and use the cached status to change the mask status.
When we mask or unmask a MSI irq, we always cache its
mask status except we know need not to cache it, like in
pci_msi_shutdown. So use the standard functions to replace
the local is safe.

The size detection for 3270 terminals with the read-partition command is
broken. The raw3270_reset_device_cb function clears the init_data array,
but if raw3270_writesf_readpart has been called the read-partition command
is queued which needs the init_data array. In this case the size detection
will fail and the invalid command does funny things to the terminal.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue
even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and
read sequence will eventually hang forever:
1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first
2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee)
3. epoll_wait()
4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN
5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer
6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever
~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table,
which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its
wait_queue.
~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6,
ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue
because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works.
~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know
it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue.
Hence, block forever.
Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very
first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

st_gpio_irqmux_handler() reads the status register to find out
which banks inside the controller have pending IRQs.
For each banks having pending IRQs, it calls the corresponding handler.
Problem is that current code restricts the number of possible banks inside the
controller to ST_GPIO_PINS_PER_BANK. This define represents the number of pins
inside a bank, so it shouldn't be used here.
On STiH407, PIO_FRONT0 controller has 10 banks, so IRQs pending in the two
last banks (PIO18 & PIO19) aren't handled.
This patch replace ST_GPIO_PINS_PER_BANK by the number of banks inside the
controller.
