x86: [VOYAGER] fix duplicate phys_cpu_present_map symbol

The phys_cpu_present_map is an expected symbol in the SMP harness.
Unfortunately, x86 recently moved this and a few others to
kernel/setup.c where it doesn't quite work because voyager has to
define its own.  Use CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC to isolate these

should be used instead of CONFIG_SMP.

That patch is buggy. We had an implicit assumption that
dev = NULL for ISA devices that require 24bit DMA.

The recent work on x86 dma_alloc_coherent() breaks the ISA DMA buffer

16 years agosparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.
David S. Miller [Sun, 11 May 2008 09:07:19 +0000 (02:07 -0700)]
sparc: Fix debugger syscall restart interactions.

So, forever, we've had this ptrace_signal_deliver implementation
which tries to handle all of the nasties that can occur when the
debugger looks at a process about to take a signal.  It's meant
to address all of these issues inside of the kernel so that the
debugger need not be mindful of such things.

Problem is, this doesn't work.

The idea was that we should do the syscall restart business first, so
that the debugger captures that state.  Otherwise, if the debugger for
example saves the child's state, makes the child execute something
else, then restores the saved state, we won't handle the syscall
restart properly because we lose the "we're in a syscall" state.

The code here worked for most cases, but if the debugger actually
passes the signal through to the child unaltered, it's possible that
we would do a syscall restart when we shouldn't have.

In particular this breaks the case of debugging a process under a gdb
which is being debugged by yet another gdb.  gdb uses sigsuspend
to wait for SIGCHLD of the inferior, but if gdb itself is being
debugged by a top-level gdb we get a ptrace_stop().  The top-level gdb
does a PTRACE_CONT with SIGCHLD to let the inferior gdb see the
signal.  But ptrace_signal_deliver() assumed the debugger would cancel
out the signal and therefore did a syscall restart, because the return
error was ERESTARTNOHAND.

Fix this by simply making ptrace_signal_deliver() a nop, and providing
a way for the debugger to control system call restarting properly:

1) Report a "in syscall" software bit in regs->{tstate,psr}.
   It is set early on in trap entry to a system call and is fully
   visible to the debugger via ptrace() and regsets.

2) Test this bit right before doing a syscall restart.  We have
   to do a final recheck right after get_signal_to_deliver() in
   case the debugger cleared the bit during ptrace_stop().

3) Clear the bit in trap return so we don't accidently try to set
   that bit in the real register.

As a result we also get a ptrace_{is,clear}_syscall() for sparc32 just
like sparc64 has.

M68K has this same exact bug, and is now the only other user of the
ptrace_signal_deliver hook.  It needs to be fixed in the same exact
way as sparc.

BKL: revert back to the old spinlock implementation

The generic semaphore rewrite had a huge performance regression on AIM7
(and potentially other BKL-heavy benchmarks) because the generic
semaphores had been rewritten to be simple to understand and fair.  The
latter, in particular, turns a semaphore-based BKL implementation into a
mess of scheduling.

The attempt to fix the performance regression failed miserably (see the
previous commit 00b41ec2611dc98f87f30753ee00a53db648d662 'Revert
"semaphore: fix"'), and so for now the simple and sane approach is to
instead just go back to the old spinlock-based BKL implementation that
never had any issues like this.

This patch also has the advantage of being reported to fix the
regression completely according to Yanmin Zhang, unlike the semaphore
hack which still left a couple percentage point regression.

As a spinlock, the BKL obviously has the potential to be a latency
issue, but it's not really any different from any other spinlock in that
respect.  We do want to get rid of the BKL asap, but that has been the
plan for several years.

These days, the biggest users are in the tty layer (open/release in
particular) and Alan holds out some hope:

  "tty release is probably a few months away from getting cured - I'm
   afraid it will almost certainly be the very last user of the BKL in
   tty to get fixed as it depends on everything else being sanely locked."

so while we're not there yet, we do have a plan of action.

[POWERPC] Document when printk is useable

When debugging early boot problems, it's common to sprinkle printk's
all over the place.  However, on 64-bit powerpc, this can lead to
memory corruption if done too early due to the PACA pointer and
lockdep core not being initialized.

This adds some comments to early_setup() that document when it is

stuff next.

|     Generic semaphore implementation
|
| After I manually reverted the patch against 2.6.26-rc1 while fixing
| lots of conflicts/errors, aim7 regression became less than 2%.

i reproduced the AIM7 workload and can confirm Yanmin's findings that
-.26-rc1 regresses over .25 - by over 67% here.

Looking at the workload i found and fixed what i believe to be the real
bug causing the AIM7 regression: it was inefficient wakeup / scheduling
/ locking behavior of the new generic semaphore code, causing suboptimal
performance.

The problem comes from the following code. The new semaphore code does
this on down():

        spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
        if (likely(sem->count > 0))
                sem->count--;
        else
                __down(sem);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

and this on up():

        spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
        if (likely(list_empty(&sem->wait_list)))
                sem->count++;
        else
                __up(sem);
        spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

where __up() does:

        list_del(&waiter->list);
        waiter->up = 1;
        wake_up_process(waiter->task);

and where __down() does this in essence:

        list_add_tail(&waiter.list, &sem->wait_list);
        waiter.task = task;
        waiter.up = 0;
        for (;;) {
                [...]
                spin_unlock_irq(&sem->lock);
                timeout = schedule_timeout(timeout);
                spin_lock_irq(&sem->lock);
                if (waiter.up)
                        return 0;
        }

the fastpath looks good and obvious, but note the following property of
the contended path: if there's a task on the ->wait_list, the up() of
the current owner will "pass over" ownership to that waiting task, in a
wake-one manner, via the waiter->up flag and by removing the waiter from
the wait list.

That is all and fine in principle, but as implemented in
kernel/semaphore.c it also creates a nasty, hidden source of contention!

The contention comes from the following property of the new semaphore
code: the new owner owns the semaphore exclusively, even if it is not
running yet.

So if the old owner, even if just a few instructions later, does a
down() [lock_kernel()] again, it will be blocked and will have to wait
on the new owner to eventually be scheduled (possibly on another CPU)!
Or if another task gets to lock_kernel() sooner than the "new owner"
scheduled, it will be blocked unnecessarily and for a very long time
when there are 2000 tasks running.

I.e. the implementation of the new semaphores code does wake-one and
lock ownership in a very restrictive way - it does not allow
opportunistic re-locking of the lock at all and keeps the scheduler from
picking task order intelligently.

This kind of scheduling, with 2000 AIM7 processes running, creates awful
cross-scheduling between those 2000 tasks, causes reduced parallelism, a
throttled runqueue length and a lot of idle time. With increasing number
of CPUs it causes an exponentially worse behavior in AIM7, as the chance
for a newly woken new-owner task to actually run anytime soon is less
and less likely.

Note that it takes just a tiny bit of contention for the 'new-semaphore
catastrophy' to happen: the wakeup latencies get added to whatever small
contention there is, and quickly snowball out of control!

I believe Yanmin's findings and numbers support this analysis too.

The best fix for this problem is to use the same scheduling logic that
the kernel/mutex.c code uses: keep the wake-one behavior (that is OK and
wanted because we do not want to over-schedule), but also allow
opportunistic locking of the lock even if a wakee is already "in
flight".

The patch below implements this new logic. With this patch applied the
AIM7 regression is largely fixed on my quad testbox:

  # v2.6.25 vanilla:
  ..................
  Tasks   Jobs/Min        JTI     Real    CPU     Jobs/sec/task
  2000    56096.4         91      207.5   789.7   0.4675
  2000    55894.4         94      208.2   792.7   0.4658

  # v2.6.26-rc1-166-gc0a1811 vanilla:

  2000    33230.6         83      350.3   784.5   0.2769
  2000    31778.1         86      366.3   783.6   0.2648

  # v2.6.26-rc1-166-gc0a1811 + semaphore-speedup:
  ...............................................
  Tasks   Jobs/Min        JTI     Real    CPU     Jobs/sec/task
  2000    55707.1         92      209.0   795.6   0.4642
  2000    55704.4         96      209.0   796.0   0.4642

i.e. a 67% speedup. We are now back to within 1% of the v2.6.25
performance levels and have zero idle time during the test, as expected.

Btw., interactivity also improved dramatically with the fix - for
example console-switching became almost instantaneous during this
workload (which after all is running 2000 tasks at once!), without the
patch it was stuck for a minute at times.

There's another nice side-effect of this speedup patch, the new generic
semaphore code got even smaller:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   1241       0       0    1241     4d9 semaphore.o.before
   1207       0       0    1207     4b7 semaphore.o.after

(because the waiter.up complication got removed.)

Longer-term we should look into using the mutex code for the generic
semaphore code as well - but i's not easy due to legacies and it's
outside of the scope of v2.6.26 and outside the scope of this patch as
well.
