The spu_runcntl_RW register is restored within spu_restore function. So, at the end of spu_bind_context, the SPU context is not just loaded, but running. This change corrects the state switch to account the time as USER. Signed-off-by: Andre Detsch <adetsch@br.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

There is a potential race between flushes of the entire SLB in the MFC and the point where new entries are being established. The problem is that we might put a ESID entry into the MFC SLB when the VSID entry has just been cleared by the global flush. This can be circumvented by holding the register_lock throughout both the flushing and the creation of SLB entries.

When we replace an SLB entry in the MFC after using up all the available entries, there is a short window in which an incorrect entry is marked as valid. The problem is that the 'valid' bit is stored in the ESID, which is always written after the VSID. Overwriting the VSID first will make the original ESID entry point to the new VSID, which means that any concurrent DMA accessing the old ESID ends up being redirected to the new virtual address. A few cycles later, we write the new ESID and everything is fine again. That race can be closed by writing a zero entry to the ESID first, which makes sure that the VSID is not accessed until we write the new ESID. Note that we don't actually need to invalidate the SLB entry using the invalidation register, which would also flush any ERAT entries for that segment, because the segment translation does not become invalid but is only removed from the SLB cache.

There is a small race between the context save procedure and the SPU interrupt handling, where we expect all interrupt processing to have finished after disabling them, while an interrupt is still being processed on another CPU. The obvious fix is to call synchronize_irq() after disabling the interrupts at the start of the context save procedure to make sure we never access the SPU any more during an ongoing save or even after that. Thanks to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for pointing this out.

Currently, we get the following output from sputrace: [5.097935954] 1606: spufs_ps_nopfn__enter (thread = 1605, spu = -1) [5.097958164] 1606: spufs_ps_nopfn__insert (thread = 1605, spu = 15) [5.097973529] 1607: spufs_ps_nopfn__enter (thread = 1605, spu = -1) [5.097989174] 1607: spufs_ps_nopfn__insert (thread = 1605, spu = 14) Which leads me to believe that 160[67] is the current thread ID, and 1605 is the context backing the psmap. However, the 'current' and 'owner' tids are reversed - the 'current' tid is on the right. This change puts the current thread ID in the left-hand column instead, and renames the right to 'ctxthread'.

At present, we have a situation where a context with no owner is re-scheduled by spu_forget: Thread 1: reading regs file Thread 2: context owner spu_forget() - ctx->owner = NULL - set SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE spu_acquire_saved() - context is in saved state spu_release_saved() - SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE is set, so spu_activate() the context, which now has no owner In spu_forget(), we shouldn't be requesting a re-schedule by setting SPU_SCHED_WAS_ACTIVE. This change removes the set_bit in spu_forget(), so that spu_release_saved() doesn't reinsert this destroyed context on to the run queue. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr <jk@ozlabs.org>

In order to get the proper boad info (bd_info) structure defined in ppcboot.h both TARGET_4xx and TARGET_44x should be defined for all PowerPC 440 boards.

We have a small window where a spu context may be destroyed while we're servicing a page fault (from another thread) to the context's problem state mapping. After we up_read() the mmap_sem, it's possible that the context is destroyed by its owning thread, and so the later references to ctx are invalid. This can maifest as a deadlock on the (now free()-ed) context state mutex. This change adds a reference to the context before we release the mmap_sem, so that the context cannot be destroyed.

Oleg Nesterov and others have pointed out that on some architectures, the traditional sequence of set_current_state(TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE); if (CONDITION) return; schedule(); is racy wrt another CPU doing CONDITION = 1; wake_up_process(p); because while set_current_state() has a memory barrier separating setting of the TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE state from reading of the CONDITION variable, there is no such memory barrier on the wakeup side. Now, wake_up_process() does actually take a spinlock before it reads and sets the task state on the waking side, and on x86 (and many other architectures) that spinlock is in fact equivalent to a memory barrier, but that is not generally guaranteed. The write that sets CONDITION could move into the critical region protected by the runqueue spinlock. However, adding a smp_wmb() to before the spinlock should now order the writing of CONDITION wrt the lock itself, which in turn is ordered wrt the accesses within the spinlock (which includes the reading of the old state). This should thus close the race (which probably has never been seen in practice, but since smp_wmb() is a no-op on x86, it's not like this will make anything worse either on the most common architecture where the spinlock already gave the required protection).

(sorry for being offtpoic, but while experts are here...) A "typical" implementation of atomic_add_unless() can return 0 immediately after the first atomic_read() (before doing cmpxchg). In that case it doesn't provide any barrier semantics. See include/asm-ia64/atomic.h as an example. We should either change the implementation, or fix the docs.

Document huge memory/cache overhead of memory controller in Kconfig I was a little surprised that 2.6.25-rc* increased struct page for the memory controller. At least on many x86-64 machines it will not fit into a single cache line now anymore and also costs considerable amounts of RAM. At earlier review I remembered asking for a external data structure for this. It's also quite unobvious that a innocent looking Kconfig option with a single line Kconfig description has such a negative effect. This patch attempts to document these disadvantages at least so that users configuring their kernel can make a informed decision.

When running "make htmldocs" I'm seeing some non-fatal perl errors caused by trying to parse the callback function definitions in blk-core.c. The errors are "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.)..." in combination with: Warning(linux-2.6.25-rc2/block/blk-core.c:1877): No description found for parameter '' The function pointers are defined without a * i.e. int (drv_callback)(struct request *) The compiler is happy with them, but kernel-doc isn't. This patch teaches create_parameterlist in kernel-doc to parse this type of function pointer definition, but is it the right way to fix the problem ? The problem only seems to occur in blk-core.c. However with the patch applied, kernel-doc finds the correct parameter description for the callback in blk_end_request_callback, which is doesn't normally. I thought it would be a bit odd to change to code to use the more normal form of function pointers just to get the documentation to work, so I fixed kernel-doc instead - even though this is teaching it to understand code that might go away (The comment for blk_end_request_callback says that it should not be used and will removed at some point).

Not all architectures implement futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(). The default implementation returns -ENOSYS, which is currently not handled inside of the futex guts. Futex PI calls and robust list exits with a held futex result in an endless loop in the futex code on architectures which have no support. Fixing up every place where futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() is called would add a fair amount of extra if/else constructs to the already complex code. It is also not possible to disable the robust feature before user space tries to register robust lists. Compile time disabling is not a good idea either, as there are already architectures with runtime detection of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic support. Detect the functionality at runtime instead by calling cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() with a NULL pointer from the futex initialization code. This is guaranteed to fail, but the call of futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() happens with pagefaults disabled. On architectures, which use the asm-generic implementation or have a runtime CPU feature detection, a -ENOSYS return value disables the PI/robust features. On architectures with a working implementation the call returns -EFAULT and the PI/robust features are enabled. The relevant syscalls return -ENOSYS and the robust list exit code is blocked, when the detection fails.
