Extentions to RapidIO switch support: 1. modify switch route operation declarations to allow using single switch-specific file for family of switches that share the same route table operations. 2. add standard route table operations for switches that that support route table manipulation registers as defined in the Rev.1.3 of RapidIO specification. 3. add clear-route-table operation for switches 4. add CPSxx and TSIxxx families of RapidIO switches Signed-off-by:

Ramoops, like mtdoops, can log oops/panic information but in RAM. It can be used with persistent RAM for systems without flash support. In addition, for this systems, with this driver, it's no more needed add to the kernel the mtd subsystem with advantage in footprint. It can be used in a very easy way with persistent RAM for systems without flash support. For these systems, with this driver, it is no longer required to cinlude mtd subsystem with an advantage in footprint. In addition, you can save flash space and store this information only in RAM.

If run_to_completion flag is set, it means that we are running in a single-threaded mode, and thus no locks are held. This fixes a deadlock when IPMI notifier is being called during panic. Signed-off-by:

Some odd systems may have multiple BMCs, and we want to be able to support them. Let's make the assumption that if a system legitimately has multiple BMCs then each BMC's SI will be of the same type, and also that we won't see multiple SIs of the same type unless we have multiple BMCs. If these hold true then we should register all SIs of the same type. Signed-off-by:

We can reasonably alter the poll rate depending on whether we're performing a transaction or merely waiting for an event. Signed-off-by:

Matthew Garrett authored
If we're not currently in the middle of a transaction, and if we have interrupts, there's no real reason to poll the controller more frequently than the core IPMI code does. Set the interrupt_disabled flag appropriately as the interrupt state changes, and make the timeout code reset itself only if the transaction is incomplete or we have no interrupts. Signed-off-by:

Manfred Spraul authored
ipc/sem.c begins with a 15 year old description about bugs in the initial implementation in Linux-1.0. The patch replaces that with a top level description of the current code. A TODO could be derived from this text: The opengroup man page for semop() does not mandate FIFO. Thus there is no need for a semaphore array list of pending operations. If - this list is removed - the per-semaphore array spinlock is removed (possible if there is no list to protect) - sem_otime is moved into the semaphores and calculated on demand during semctl() then the array would be read-mostly - which would significantly improve scaling for applications that use semaphore arrays with lots of entries. The price would be expensive semctl() calls: for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_lock(sma->sem_lock); <do stuff> for(i=0;i<sma->sem_nsems;i++) spin_unlock(sma->sem_lock); I'm not sure if the complexity is worth the effort, thus here is the documentation of the current behavior first.

Cacheline align the spinlock for sysv semaphores. Without the patch, the spinlock and sem_otime [written by every semop that modified the array] and sem_base [read in the hot path of try_atomic_semop()] can be in the same cacheline. Signed-off-by:

Manfred Spraul authored
The wake-up part of semtimedop() consists out of two steps: - the right tasks must be identified. - they must be woken up. Right now, both steps run while the array spinlock is held. This patch reorders the code and moves the actual wake_up_process() behind the point where the spinlock is dropped. The code also moves setting sem->sem_otime to one place: It does not make sense to set the last modify time multiple times.

The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current code: - In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2). Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case. The patch series fix that. Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than perfect FIFO. - The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is significantly larger than necessary. The patch series fixes that. This change is responsible for the main improvement. - The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily written to multiple times (sem_otime). The last step of the series cacheline-aligns the spinlock. This patch: The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all semaphores in the array as atomic operations. After a modification, update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete. The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst case. For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2). The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks. A big database application uses that approach. The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of the patch breaks that.

Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items more than 1024. This is due to stepping back too many levels during backtracking. For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2 nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs. (In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root level and 32 IDs in each leaf node). The sequence of freeing the nodes at the moment is as follows: layer 1 -> a(7) 2 -> b(3) c(5) 3 -> d(1) e(2) f(4) g(6) Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g should be freed first. Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll have a use after free error at step 6. How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting: Step 1. node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2. msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back 1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e. 2-3. node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2. This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing node b on the way. 4-5. node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node a and free c on the way. 6. We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as node c was freed. The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back. Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position corresponding to a given layer. In the above example overflow from bit 0 to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level. Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2 should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on. The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers on 32 bit systems. Signed-off-by:Imre Deak <imre.deak@nokia.com> Reviewed-by:

This changes notifier_from_errno(0) to be NOTIFY_OK instead of NOTIFY_STOP_MASK | NOTIFY_OK. Currently, the notifiers which return encapsulated errno value have to do something like this: err = do_something(); // returns -errno if (err) return notifier_from_errno(err); else return NOTIFY_OK; This change makes the above code simple: err = do_something(); // returns -errno return return notifier_from_errno(err); Signed-off-by:

Currently, onlining or offlining a CPU failure by one of the cpu notifiers error always cause -EINVAL error. (i.e. writing 0 or 1 to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online gets EINVAL) To get better error reporting rather than always getting -EINVAL, This changes cpu_notify() to return -errno value with notifier_to_errno() and fix the callers. Now that cpu notifiers can return encapsulate errno value. Currently, all cpu hotplug notifiers return NOTIFY_OK, NOTIFY_BAD, or NOTIFY_DONE. So cpu_notify() can returns 0 or -EPERM with this change for now. (notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_OK) == 0, notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_DONE) == 0, notifier_to_errno(NOTIFY_BAD) == -EPERM) Forthcoming patches convert several cpu notifiers to return encapsulate errno value with notifier_from_errno().
