      USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for the I/O watchdog · 18aafe64
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1586) replaces the kernel timer used by ehci-hcd as an
      I/O watchdog with an hrtimer event.
      
      Unlike in the current code, the watchdog event is now always enabled
      whenever any isochronous URBs are active.  This will prevent bugs
      caused by the periodic schedule wrapping around with no completion
      interrupts; the watchdog handler is guaranteed to scan the isochronous
      transfers at least once during each iteration of the schedule.  The
      extra overhead will be negligible: one timer interrupt every 100 ms.

      USB: EHCI: always scan each interrupt QH · 569b394f
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1585) fixes a bug in ehci-hcd's scheme for scanning
      interrupt QHs.
      
      Currently a single routine takes care of scanning everything on the
      periodic schedule.  Whenever an interrupt occurs, it scans all
      isochronous and interrupt URBs scheduled for frames that have elapsed
      since the last scan.
      
      This has two disadvantages.  The first is relatively minor: An
      interrupt QH is likely to end up getting scanned multiple times,
      particularly if the last scan was not fairly recent.  (The current
      code avoids this by maintaining a periodic_stamp in each interrupt
      QH.)
      
      The second is more serious.  The periodic schedule wraps around.  If
      the last scan occurred during frame N, and the next scan occurs when
      the schedule has gone through an entire cycle and is back at frame N,
      the scanning code won't look at any frames other than N.  Consequently
      it won't see any QHs that completed during frame N-1 or earlier.
      
      The patch replaces the entire frame-based approach for scanning
      interrupt QHs with a new routine using a list-based approach, the same
      as for async QHs.  This has a slight disadvantage, because it means
      that all interrupt QHs have to be scanned every time.  But it is more
      robust than the current approach.

      USB: EHCI: don't lose events during a scan · 361aabf3
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1584) fixes a minor bug that has been present in
      ehci-hcd since the beginning.
      
      Scanning the schedules for URB completions is single-threaded.  If a
      completion interrupt occurs while an URB is being given back, the
      interrupt handler realizes that a scan is in progress on another CPU
      and avoids starting a new one.
      
      This means that completion events can be lost.  If an URB completes
      after it has been scanned but while a scan is still in progress, the
      driver won't notice and won't rescan the completed URB.
      
      The patch fixes the problem by adding a new flag to indicate that
      another scan is needed after the current scan is done.  The flag gets
      set whenever a completion interrupt occurs while a scan is in
      progress.  The rescan will see the completion, thus preventing it from
      getting lost.

      USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for unlinking empty async QHs · 32830f20
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1583) changes ehci-hcd to use an hrtimer event for
      unlinking empty (unused) async QHs instead of using a kernel timer.
      
      The check for empty QHs is moved to a new routine, where it doesn't
      require going through an entire scan of both the async and periodic
      schedules.  And it can unlink multiple QHs at once, unlike the current
      code.

      USB: EHCI: unlink multiple async QHs together · 3c273a05
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1582) changes ehci-hcd's strategy for unlinking async
      QHs.  Currently the driver never unlinks more than one QH at a time.
      This can be inefficient and cause unnecessary delays, since a QH
      cannot be reused while it is waiting to be unlinked.
      
      The new strategy unlinks all the waiting QHs at once.  In practice the
      improvement won't be very big, because it's somewhat uncommon to have
      two or more QHs waiting to be unlinked at any time.  But it does
      happen, and in any case, doing things this way makes more sense IMO.
      
      The change requires the async unlinking code to be refactored
      slightly.  Now in addition to the routines for starting and ending an
      unlink, there are new routines for unlinking a single QH and starting
      an IAA cycle.  This approach is needed because there are two separate
      paths for unlinking async QHs:
      
      	When a transfer error occurs or an URB is cancelled, the QH
      	must be unlinked right away;
      
      	When a QH has been idle sufficiently long, it is unlinked
      	to avoid consuming DMA bandwidth uselessly.
      
      In the first case we want the unlink to proceed as quickly as
      possible, whereas in the second case we can afford to batch several
      QHs together and unlink them all at once.  Hence the division of
      labor.

      USB: EHCI: don't refcount iso_stream structures · 8c5bf7be
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1580) makes ehci_iso_stream structures behave more like
      QHs, in that they will remain allocated until their isochronous
      endpoint is disabled.  This will come in useful in the future, when
      periodic bandwidth gets allocated as an altsetting is installed rather
      than on-the-fly.
      
      For now, the change to the ehci_iso_stream lifetimes means that each
      structure is always deallocated at exactly one spot in
      ehci_endpoint_disable() and never used again.  As a result, it is no
      longer necessary to use reference counting on these things, and the
      patch removes it.

      USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for (s)iTD deallocation · 55934eb3
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1579) adds an hrtimer event to handle deallocation of
      iTDs and siTDs in ehci-hcd.
      
      Because of the frame-oriented approach used by the EHCI periodic
      schedule, the hardware can continue to access the Transfer Descriptor
      for isochronous (or split-isochronous) transactions for up to a
      millisecond after the transaction completes.  The iTD (or siTD) must
      not be reused before then.
      
      The strategy currently used involves putting completed iTDs on a list
      of cached entries and every so often returning them to the endpoint's
      free list.  The new strategy reduces overhead by putting completed
      iTDs back on the free list immediately, although they are not reused
      until it is safe to do so.
      
      When the isochronous endpoint stops (its queue becomes empty), the
      iTDs on its free list get moved to a global list, from which they will
      be deallocated after a minimum of 2 ms.  This delay is what the new
      hrtimer event is for.
      
      Overall this may not be a tremendous improvement over the current
      code, but to me it seems a lot more clear and logical.  In addition,
      it removes the need for each iTD to keep a reference to the
      ehci_iso_stream it belongs to, since the iTD never needs to be moved
      back to the stream's free list from the global list.

      USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for interrupt QH unlink · df202255
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1577) adds hrtimer support for unlinking interrupt QHs
      in ehci-hcd.  The current code relies on a fixed delay of either 2 or
      55 us, which is not always adequate and in any case is totally bogus.
      Thanks to internal caching, the EHCI hardware may continue to access
      an interrupt QH for more than a millisecond after it has been unlinked.
      
      In fact, the EHCI spec doesn't say how long to wait before using an
      unlinked interrupt QH.  The patch sets the delay to 9 microframes
      minimum, which ought to be adequate.

      USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for async schedule · 31446610
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1576) adds hrtimer support for managing ehci-hcd's
      async schedule.  Just as with the earlier change to the periodic
      schedule management, two new hrtimer events take care of everything.
      
      One event polls at 1-ms intervals to see when the Asynchronous
      Schedule Status (ASS) flag matches the Asynchronous Schedule Enable
      (ASE) value; the schedule's state must not be changed until it does.
      The other event delays for 15 ms after the async schedule becomes
      empty before turning it off.
      
      The new events replace a busy-wait poll and a kernel timer usage.
      They also replace the rather illogical method currently used for
      indicating the async schedule should be turned off: attempting to
      unlink the dedicated QH at the head of the async list.

      USB: EHCI: remove PS3 status polling · 9671cd7a

      This patch (as1575) removes special code added for status polling of
      the EHCI controller in PS3 systems.  While the controller is running,
      the polling is now carried out by an hrtimer handler.  When the

      as the old code -- but in neither case do we need to conclude that the
      controller has died if the polling goes on for too long.
      
      As a result the entire handshake_on_error_set_halt() routine is now
      unused, so it is removed from the driver.

      USB: EHCI: use hrtimer for the periodic schedule · 3ca9aeba
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1573) adds hrtimer support for managing ehci-hcd's
      periodic schedule.  There are two issues to deal with.
      
      First, the schedule's state (on or off) must not be changed until the
      hardware status has caught up with the current command.  This is
      handled by an hrtimer event that polls at 1-ms intervals to see when
      the Periodic Schedule Status (PSS) flag matches the Periodic Schedule
      Enable (PSE) value.
      
      Second, the schedule should not be turned off as soon as it becomes
      empty.  Turning the schedule on and off takes time, so we want to wait
      until the schedule has been empty for a suitable period before turning
      it off.  This is handled by an hrtimer event that gets set to expire
      10 ms after the periodic schedule becomes empty.
      
      The existing code polls (for up to 1125 us and with interrupts
      disabled!) to check the status, and doesn't implement a delay before
      turning off the schedule.  Furthermore, if the polling fails then the
      driver decides that the controller has died.  This has caused problems
      for several people; some controllers can take 10 ms or more to turn
      off their periodic schedules.
      
      This patch fixes these issues.  It also makes the "broken_periodic"
      workaround unnecessary; there is no longer any danger of turning off
      the periodic schedule after it has been on for less than 1 ms.

      USB: EHCI: introduce high-res timer · d58b4bcc
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as1572) begins the conversion of ehci-hcd over to using
      high-resolution timers rather than old-fashioned low-resolution kernel
      timers.  This reduces overhead caused by timer roundoff on systems
      where HZ is smaller than 1000.  Also, the new timer framework
      introduced here is much more logical and easily extended than the
      ad-hoc approach ehci-hcd currently uses for timers.
      
      An hrtimer structure is added to ehci_hcd, along with a bitflag array
      and an array of ktime_t values, to keep track of which timing events
      are pending and what their expiration times are.
      
      Only the infrastructure for the timing operations is added in this
      patch.  Later patches will add routines for handling each of the
      various timing events the driver needs.  In some cases the new hrtimer
      handlers will replace the existing handlers for ehci-hcd's kernel
      timers; as this happens the old timers will be removed.  In other
      cases the new timing events will replace busy-wait loops.

      Pull the leap second fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
       "It's a rather large series, but well discussed, refined and reviewed.
        It got a massive testing by John, Prarit and tip.
      
        In theory we could split it into two parts.  The first two patches
      
          f55a6faa: hrtimer: Provide clock_was_set_delayed()
          4873fa07: timekeeping: Fix leapsecond triggered load spike issue
      
        are merely preventing the stuff loops forever issues, which people
        have observed.
      
        But there is no point in delaying the other 4 commits which achieve
        full correctness into 3.6 as they are tagged for stable anyway.  And I
        rather prefer to have the full fixes merged in bulk than a "prevent
        the observable wreckage and deal with the hidden fallout later"
        approach."

      x86/vsyscall: allow seccomp filter in vsyscall=emulate · 5651721e
      Will Drewry authored
      If a seccomp filter program is installed, older static binaries and
      distributions with older libc implementations (glibc 2.13 and earlier)
      that rely on vsyscall use will be terminated regardless of the filter
      program policy when executing time, gettimeofday, or getcpu.  This is
      only the case when vsyscall emulation is in use (vsyscall=emulate is the
      default).
      
      This patch emulates system call entry inside a vsyscall=emulate by
      populating regs->ax and regs->orig_ax with the system call number prior
      to calling into seccomp such that all seccomp-dependencies function
      normally.  Additionally, system call return behavior is emulated in line
      with other vsyscall entrypoints for the trace/trap cases.
      
      [ v2: fixed ip and sp on SECCOMP_RET_TRAP/TRACE (thanks to luto@mit.edu) ]
