powerpc/perf: Fix instruction address sampling on 970 and Power4

970 and Power4 don't support "continuous sampling" which means that
when we aren't in marked instruction sampling mode (marked events),
SIAR isn't updated with the last instruction sampled before the
perf interrupt. On those processors, we must thus use the exception
SRR0 value as the sampled instruction pointer.

Those processors also don't support the SIPR and SIHV bits in MMCRA
which means we need some kind of heuristic to decide if SIAR values
represent kernel or user addresses.

powerpc/eeh: Retrieve PHB from global list

Currently, the existing PHBs are retrieved from the FDT (Flat
Device Tree) based on the name of FDT node. Specificly, those
FDT nodes whose names have prefix "pci" are regarded as PHBs.
That's inappropriate because some PCI bridges possibilly have
names leading with "pci". It caused EEH is enabled on same
PCI devices for towice.

The patch fixes the above issue. Besides, the PHBs are expected
to be figured out from FDT before enable EEH on them. Therefore,
it's resonable to retrieve the PHBs from the global linked list
traced by variable "hose_list" insteading poking them from FDT.

For the EEH implementation on pSeries platform, RTAS is critical
because all low-level functions are implemented based on RTAS.
Therefore, we should make sure "/rtas" OF node is available and
ready before to enable EEH core. However, it actually introduced
duplicate since the previous pSeries platform dependent initialization
function already do the check. Besides, we want to make eeh core
platform independent, so RTAS related staff should be removed there.

12 years agoproc: speed up /proc/stat handling
Eric Dumazet [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:53 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
proc: speed up /proc/stat handling

On a typical 16 cpus machine, "cat /proc/stat" gives more than 4096 bytes,
and is slow :

  # strace -T -o /tmp/STRACE cat /proc/stat | wc -c
  5826
  # grep "cpu " /tmp/STRACE
  read(0, "cpu  1949310 19 2144714 12117253"..., 32768) = 5826 <0.001504>

Thats partly because show_stat() must be called twice since initial
buffer size is too small (4096 bytes for less than 32 possible cpus)

Fix this by :

 1) Taking into account nr_irqs in the initial buffer sizing.

 2) Using ksize() to allow better filling of initial buffer.

make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
MADV_DODUMP.

Jason Baron [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:51 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag

The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

kmod: make __request_module() killable

As Tetsuo Handa pointed out, request_module() can stress the system
while the oom-killed caller sleeps in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE.

The task T uses "almost all" memory, then it does something which
triggers request_module().  Say, it can simply call sys_socket().  This
in turn needs more memory and leads to OOM.  oom-killer correctly
chooses T and kills it, but this can't help because it sleeps in
TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and after that oom-killer becomes "disabled" by the
TIF_MEMDIE task T.

Make __request_module() killable.  The only necessary change is that
call_modprobe() should kmalloc argv and module_name, they can't live in
the stack if we use UMH_KILLABLE.  This memory is freed via
call_usermodehelper_freeinfo()->cleanup.

options (the notorious post-execve SIGTRAP comes to mind), and removes
the need to track "did we set opts for this task" state in strace
internals.

While we are at it:

Make it possible to extend SEIZE in the future with more functionality
by passing non-zero 'addr' parameter.  To that end, error out if 'addr'
is non-zero.  PTRACE_ATTACH did not (and still does not) have such
check, and users (strace) do pass garbage there...  let's avoid
repeating this mistake with SEIZE.

Set all task->ptrace bits in one operation - before this change, we were
adding PT_SEIZED and PT_PTRACE_CAP with task->ptrace |= BIT ops.  This
was probably ok (not a bug), but let's be on a safer side.

Changes since v2: use (unsigned long) casts instead of (long) ones, move
PTRACE_SEIZE_DEVEL-related code to separate lines of code.

Every PTRACE_O_TRACEevent is defined to (1 << PTRACE_EVENT_event)

PT_EVENT_FLAG_SHIFT was not particularly useful, PT_OPT_FLAG_SHIFT with

some unknown bits in <opts>.

This is inconsistent with typical error handling, which does not change
any state if input is invalid.

This patch changes PTRACE_SETOPTIONS behavior so that in this case, we
return -EINVAL and don't change any bits in task->ptrace.

It's very unlikely that there is userspace code in the wild which will
be affected by this change: it should have the form

    ptrace(PTRACE_SETOPTIONS, pid, 0, PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT)

where PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPT is a constant unknown to the kernel.  But kernel
headers, naturally, don't contain any PTRACE_O_BOGUSOPTs, thus the only

rtc/rtc-spear: call platform_set_drvdata() before registering rtc device

rtc_device_register() calls rtc-spear routines internally.  These
routines call dev_get_drvdata() to get struct spear_rtc_config.
Currently, platform_set_drvdata is called after rtc device is
registered.  This causes system to crash, as dev_get_drvdata returns
NULL.

For this we need to call platform_set_drvdata() before registering rtc
device.  This requires further cleanup, that leads to removal of
dev_set_drvdata on rtc->dev, which was just not required at all.

Also, we change the parameter to request_irq and pass pointer to config
instead of pointer to rtc struct.

12 years agoepoll: comment the funky #ifdef
Steven Rostedt [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:27 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
epoll: comment the funky #ifdef

Looking for a bug in -rt, I stumbled across this code here from: commit
2dfa4eeab0fc ("epoll keyed wakeups: teach epoll about hints coming with
the wakeup key"), specifically:

  #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
  static inline void ep_wake_up_nested(wait_queue_head_t *wqueue,
                                      unsigned long events, int subclass)
  {
         unsigned long flags;

         spin_lock_irqsave_nested(&wqueue->lock, flags, subclass);
         wake_up_locked_poll(wqueue, events);
         spin_unlock_irqrestore(&wqueue->lock, flags);
  }
  #else
  static inline void ep_wake_up_nested(wait_queue_head_t *wqueue,
                                      unsigned long events, int subclass)
  {
         wake_up_poll(wqueue, events);
  }
  #endif

You change the function of ep_wake_up_nested() depending on whether
CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is set or not.  This looks awfully suspicious,
and there's no comment to explain why.  I initially thought that this
was trying to fool lockdep, and hiding a real bug.

Investigating it, I found the creation of wake_up_nested() (which no
longer exists) but was created for the sole purpose of epoll and its
strange wake ups, as explained in commit 0ccf831cbee9 ("lockdep:
annotate epoll")

Although the commit message says "annotate epoll" the change log is much
better at explaining what is happening than what is in the actual code.
Thus a comment is really necessary here.  And to save the time of other
developers from having to go trudging through the git logs trying to
figure out why this code exists.

I took parts of the change log and placed it into a comment above the
affected code.  This will make the description of what is happening more
visible to new developers that have to look at this code for the first
time.

12 years agopoll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions
Hans Verkuil [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:27 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions

In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for.  An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested.  This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem among others.

Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably.  The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask.  But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table pointer.

Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead
of using the requested events mask.

This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual
events that should be polled for as set by the caller.

The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to
NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table
pointer itself.  That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new
poll_requested_events inline.

The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h).  In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e.  all events).

Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually
wait.  If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the
events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the
select() call without waiting.  This might be useful information in order
to avoid doing expensive work.

A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use
to detect this situation.  This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in
include/net/sock.h.  This was the only place in the kernel that needed
this information.

Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use
the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions
instead.  In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended
with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them
directly.

This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used
the key field to get the requested events.  It's been replaced by a call
to poll_requested_events().

For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the
behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer
can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past.

Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile.

Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll()
function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument.  This
pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or
the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in
the select()'s fdset matched the requested events.

There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument:

1) obtain the key field:

events = wait ? wait->key : ~0;

   This will still work although it should be replaced with the new
   poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same).
   This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL
   unnecessarily.

2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be
   NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no
   kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW.

3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without
   waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now
   wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL.

   However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in
   the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the
   driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set
   of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that
   since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though.

   There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens
   (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced
   by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch.

   Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait()
   actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the
   event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

crc32: simplify unit test code

Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile
and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test
routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init
time.  The self test option can be enabled through a configuration
option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST.

The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic
since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at
least 4 byte aligned.  However, the main loop is long enough so that the
performance is dominated by that loop.

The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the
original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8.
These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS
parameters in both the original and new versions.

The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite

12 years agocrc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces
Bob Pearson [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:21 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
crc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces

This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out
a software crc32c implementation.  It removes the crc32c implementation
in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/.  There is also
a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an
implementation best suited for the hardware.

The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full
metadata checksumming to ext4.  As far as performance impact of adding
checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server
ffsb simulation.  On a test that involves only file creation and
deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with
the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of
about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code.

When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new
implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small
fraction of total IO.  However, when we are doing IO that is almost all
metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the
operation substantially.

Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this
patchset should improve their speed as well.  I have not yet quantified
that, however.  This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late
August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set.
Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been
advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead.  :/

Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on
a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms.  The results can be
viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c"
columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and
crc32c software implementations.  The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows
crc32c performance with this patchset applied.  I expect crc32
performance to be roughly the same.

The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much
faster the new implementation is over the old one.  As you can see, crc32
rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase.

This patch:

- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32.c
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32defs.h

12 years agocheckpatch: check for quoted strings broken across lines
Josh Triplett [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:21 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
checkpatch: check for quoted strings broken across lines

checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted
strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted
strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the
string.  Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted
strings split across lines.

Test case:

void context(void)
{
struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = {
{ 42, "these strings"
      "do not produce warnings" },
{ 256, "though perhaps"
       "they should" },
};
pr_err("this string"
       " should produce a warning\n");
pr_err("this multi-line string\n"
       "should not produce a warning\n");
asm ("this asm\n\t"
     "should not produce a warning");
}

Results of checkpatch on that test case:

WARNING: quoted string split across lines
+        " should produce a warning\n");

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked
