The following patch to the Siemens Gigaset base driver adds graceful recovery for some frequently encountered error conditions, by retrying failed control requests (eg. stalled control pipe), and by closing and reopening the AT command channel when it appears to be stuck. Signed-off-by:

I thought about some race condition, but as this is an UP system, it leads to questions on how it can happen. If we look at EFLAGS: 00010202, we see that interrupts are enabled at the time of the crash (eflags & 0x200). Finally, I don't understand all the capi code, but I think that handle_minor_send() is racing somehow against capi_recv_message(), which call both capiminor_del_ack(). So if an IRQ occurs in the middle of capiminor_del_ack() and another instance of it is invoked, it leads to linked list corruption. I came up with the following patch. With this, I could not reproduce the crash anymore. Clearly, this is not the correct fix for the issue. As this seems to be some locking issue, there might be more locking issues in that code. For example, doesn't the whole struct capiminor have to be locked somehow?

With this patch Kprobes now registers for page fault notifications only when their is an active probe registered. Once all the active probes are unregistered their is no need to be notified of page faults and kprobes unregisters itself from the page fault notifications. Hence we will have ZERO side effects when no probes are active. Signed-off-by:

Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT, ...) to notify the page fault. Since notify_die() is highly overloaded, this page fault notification is currently being sent to all the components registered with register_die_notification() which uses the same die_chain to loop for all the registered components which is unnecessary. In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path, this critical page fault notification is now moved to different call chain and the test results showed great improvements. And the kprobes which is interested in this notifications, now registers onto this new call chain only when it need to, i.e Kprobes now registers for page fault notification only when their are an active probes and unregisters from this page fault notification when no probes are active. I have incorporated all the feedback given by Ananth and Keith and everyone, and thanks for all the review feedback.

If there are multi kprobes on the same probepoint, there will be one extra aggr_kprobe on the head of kprobe list. The aggr_kprobe has aggr_post_handler/aggr_break_handler whether the other kprobe post_hander/break_handler is NULL or not. This patch modifies this, only when there is one or more kprobe in the list whose post_handler is not NULL, post_handler of aggr_kprobe will be set as aggr_post_handler.

Remove the old timers/timer_opts infrastructure which has been disabled. It is a fairly straightforward set of deletions Note that this does not provide any i386 clocksources, so you will only have the jiffies clocksource.

This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code. While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will be available.

As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which will be removed) that we want to preserve. The code also introduces the following functionality: o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping usability o minor cleanups to calibration math. This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo. Signed-off-by:

John's about to nuke x86's monotonic clock without grepping for it first. The patch lamely borrows the ppc64 code for x86. hangcheck-timer shouldn't be doing it this way a) HAVE_MONOTONIC should be CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK and it should be defined in arch/xxx/Kconfig. b) That ifdef tangle shouldn't be in hangcheck-timer.c. It should be using arch-provided helper functions, which CONFIG_MONOTONIC_CLOCK-enabling architectures implement in arch/something.c Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Acked-by:

Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies clocksource. This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using shifted nanoseconds. The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the blame to me. Signed-off-by:

john stultz authored
Change the current_tick_length() function so it takes an argument which specifies how much precision to return in shifted nanoseconds. This provides a simple way to convert between NTPs internal nanoseconds shifted by (SHIFT_SCALE - 10) to other shifted nanosecond units that are used by the clocksource abstraction. Signed-off-by:

john stultz authored
Modify the update_wall_time function so it increments time using the clocksource abstraction instead of jiffies. Since the only clocksource driver currently provided is the jiffies clocksource, this should result in no functional change. Additionally, a timekeeping_init and timekeeping_resume function has been added to initialize and maintain some of the new timekeping state. [hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp: fixlet] Signed-off-by:

This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources. Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
