Paul E. McKenney authored
Traditionally, the entire idle task served as an RCU quiescent state. But when RCU read side critical sections started appearing within the idle loop, this traditional strategy became untenable. The fix was to create new RCU APIs named rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(), which must be called by each architecture's idle loop so that RCU can tell when it is safe to ignore a given idle CPU. Unfortunately, this fix was never applied to ia64, a shortcoming remedied by this commit. Reported by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical section have been added even in the code of some architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example. So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU in low power mode. This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in idle in order to complete grace periods. Add this missing pair of calls in the xtensa's idle loop. Reported-by: Paul E.

cpu_idle() is called on the boot CPU by the init code with preemption disabled. But the cpu_idle() function in alpha doesn't handle this when it calls schedule() directly. Fix it by converting it into schedule_preempt_disabled(). Also disable preemption before calling cpu_idle() from secondary CPU entry code to stay consistent with this state.

Paul E. McKenney authored
Each grace period is supposed to have at least one callback waiting for that grace period to complete. However, if CONFIG_NO_HZ=n, an extra callback-free grace period is no big problem -- it will chew up a tiny bit of CPU time, but it will complete normally. In contrast, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y kernels have the potential for all the CPUs to go to sleep indefinitely, in turn indefinitely delaying completion of the callback-free grace period. Given that nothing is waiting on this grace period, this is also not a problem. That is, unless RCU CPU stall warnings are also enabled, as they are in recent kernels. In this case, if a CPU wakes up after at least one minute of inactivity, an RCU CPU stall warning will result. The reason that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute. But there are some embedded systems with cut-down userspace configurations that consistently get into this situation. All this begs the question of exactly how a callback-free grace period gets started in the first place. This can happen due to the fact that CPUs do not necessarily agree on which grace period is in progress. If a CPU still believes that the grace period that just completed is still ongoing, it will believe that it has callbacks that need to wait for another grace period, never mind the fact that the grace period that they were waiting for just completed. This CPU can therefore erroneously decide to start a new grace period. Note that this can happen in TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU even on a single-CPU system: Deadlock considerations mean that the CPU that detected the end of the grace period is not necessarily officially informed of this fact for some time. Once this CPU notices that the earlier grace period completed, it will invoke its callbacks. It then won't have any callbacks left. If no other CPU has any callbacks, we now have a callback-free grace period. This commit therefore makes CPUs check more carefully before starting a new grace period. This new check relies on an array of tail pointers into each CPU's list of callbacks. If the CPU is up to date on which grace periods have completed, it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, otherwise it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment. The reason that this works is that the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment will be promoted to the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment as soon as the CPU is officially notified that the old grace period has ended. This change is to cpu_needs_another_gp(), which is called in a number of places. The only one that really matters is in rcu_start_gp(), where the root rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, which prevents any other CPU from starting or completing a grace period, so that the comparison that determines whether the CPU is missing the completion of a grace period is stable.

Josh Triplett authored
Tracepoints declare a static inline trace_*_rcuidle variant of the trace function, to support safely generating trace events from the idle loop. Module code never actually uses that variant of trace functions, because modules don't run code that needs tracing with RCU idled. However, the declaration of those otherwise unused functions causes the module to reference rcu_idle_exit and rcu_idle_enter, which RCU does not export to modules. To avoid this, don't generate trace_*_rcuidle functions for tracepoints declared in module code.

It however introduced some regressions caused by limited support for allocations in atomic context. This series contains fixes for those regressions. For some subplatforms the default, pre-allocated pool for atomic allocations turned out to be too small, so a function for setting its size has been added.

Commit 644595f8 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory.

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB. The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff) our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits. By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting and we get 0xfffffffff. This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit. On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling dma_alloc_coherent_mask. This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the underlaying reason was not understood until now. The original email with the original patch is in: http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-02/msg00038.html the original thread from where the discussion started is in: http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-01/msg00928.htmlSigned-off-by: Ronny Hegewald <ronny.hegewald@online.de> Signed-off-by: Stefano Panella <stefano.panella@citrix.com> Acked-By: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> CC: stable@vger.kernel.org

While TLB_FLUSH_ALL gets passed as 'end' argument to flush_tlb_others(), the Xen code was made to check its 'start' parameter. That may give a incorrect op.cmd to MMUEXT_INVLPG_MULTI instead of MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_MULTI. Then it causes some page can not be flushed from TLB. This patch fixed this issue.

We would traverse the full P2M top directory (from 0->MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES inclusive) when trying to figure out whether we can re-use some of the P2M middle leafs. Which meant that if the kernel was compiled with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES=512 we would try to use the 512th entry. Fortunately for us the p2m_top_index has a check for this: BUG_ON(pfn >= MAX_P2M_PFN); which we hit and saw this: (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: (XEN) ----[ Xen-4.1.2-OVM x86_64 debug=n Tainted: C ]---- (XEN) CPU: 0 (XEN) RIP: e033:[<ffffffff819cadeb>] (XEN) RFLAGS: 0000000000000212 EM: 1 CONTEXT: pv guest (XEN) rax: ffffffff81db5000 rbx: ffffffff81db4000 rcx: 0000000000000000 (XEN) rdx: 0000000000480211 rsi: 0000000000000000 rdi: ffffffff81db4000 (XEN) rbp: ffffffff81793db8 rsp: ffffffff81793d38 r8: 0000000008000000 (XEN) r9: 4000000000000000 r10: 0000000000000000 r11: ffffffff81db7000 (XEN) r12: 0000000000000ff8 r13: ffffffff81df1ff8 r14: ffffffff81db6000 (XEN) r15: 0000000000000ff8 cr0: 000000008005003b cr4: 00000000000026f0 (XEN) cr3: 0000000661795000 cr2: 0000000000000000 Fixes-Oracle-Bug: 14570662 CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # only for v3.5 Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

patch_instruction() can be called very early on ppc32, when the kernel isn't yet running at it's linked address. That can cause the ! is_kernel_addr() test in __put_user() to trip and call might_sleep() which is very bad at that point during boot. Use a lower level function instead for now, at least until we get to rework ppc32 boot process to do the code patching later, like ppc64 does.
