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. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

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. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

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.

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.

This patch (as1578) adds an hrtimer event to handle the death of an EHCI controller. When a controller dies, it doesn't necessarily stop running right away. The new event polls at 1-ms intervals to see when all activity has safely stopped. This replaces a busy-wait polling loop in the current code.

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.

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.

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 controller is suspending or stopping, we use the same polling routine 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.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This patch (as1571) adds a new state for ehci-hcd's root hubs: EHCI_RH_STOPPING. This value is used at times when the root hub is being stopped and we don't know whether or not the hardware has finished all its DMA yet. Although the purpose may not be apparent, this distinction will come in useful later on. Future patches will avoid actions that depend on the root hub being operational (like turning on the async or periodic schedules) when they see the state is EHCI_RH_STOPPING.

This patch (as1570) adds a pointer for the end of ehci-hcd's async-unlink list. The list (which is actually a queue) is singly linked, so having a pointer to its end makes adding new entries easier -- there's no longer any need to scan through the whole list. In principle it could be changed to a standard doubly-linked list. It turns out that doing so actually makes the code less clear, so I'm leaving it as is.

This patch (as1569) renames the ehci->reclaim list in ehci-hcd. The word "reclaim" is used in the EHCI specification to mean something quite different, and "unlink_next" is more descriptive of the list's purpose anyway. Similarly, the "reclaim" field in the ehci_stats structure is renamed "iaa", which is more meaningful (to experts, anyway) and is a better match for the "lost_iaa" field.

Currently, EHCI initialization turns off the controller (in case it was left running by the firmware) before setting up the ehci_hcd data structure. This patch (as1565) reverses that order. Although it doesn't matter now, it will matter later on when future additions to ehci_halt() will want to acquire a spinlock that gets initialized by ehci_init().

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.
