* context_tracking: User/kernel broundary cross trace eventsFrederic Weisbecker2013-08-141-0/+58

Having no range passed to nohz_full= should result in the probes to be nopped (at least we hope so...). If this proves not be enough in the long term, we'll need to bring an exception slow path by re-routing the exception handlers.

* nohz: Only enable context tracking on full dynticks CPUsFrederic Weisbecker2013-08-131-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The context tracking subsystem has the ability to selectively enable the tracking on any defined subset of CPU. This means that we can define a CPU range that doesn't run the context tracking and another range that does. Now what we want in practice is to enable the tracking on full dynticks CPUs only. In order to perform this, we just need to pass our full dynticks CPU range selection from the full dynticks subsystem to the context tracking. This way we can spare the overhead of RCU user extended quiescent state and vtime maintainance on the CPUs that are outside the full dynticks range. Just keep in mind the raw context tracking itself is still necessary everywhere. Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Paul E.

* context_tracing: Fix guest accounting with native vtimeFrederic Weisbecker2013-08-131-30/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1) If context tracking is enabled with native vtime accounting (which combo is useless except for dev testing), we call vtime_guest_enter() and vtime_guest_exit() on host <-> guest switches. But those are stubs in this configurations. As a result, cputime is not correctly flushed on kvm context switches. 2) If context tracking runs but is disabled on some CPUs, those CPUs end up calling __guest_enter/__guest_exit which in turn call vtime_account_system(). We don't want to call this because we run in tick based accounting for these CPUs. Refactor the guest_enter/guest_exit code such that all combinations finally work.

The current problem with the backend and frontend is that the segment size is limited to 11 pages. It means we can at most squeeze in 44kB per request. The ring can hold 32 (next power of two below 36) requests, meaning we can do 1.4M of outstanding requests. Nowadays that is not enough. The problem in the past was addressed in two ways - but neither one went upstream. The first solution to this proposed by Justin from Spectralogic was to negotiate the segment size. This means that the ‘struct blkif_sring_entry’ is now a variable size. It can expand from 112 bytes (cover 11 pages of data - 44kB) to 1580 bytes (256 pages of data - so 1MB). It is a simple extension by just making the array in the request expand from 11 to a variable size negotiated. But it had limits: this extension still limits the number of segments per request to 255 (as the total number must be specified in the request, which only has an 8-bit field for that purpose). The other solution (from Intel - Ronghui) was to create one extra ring that only has the ‘struct blkif_request_segment’ in them. The ‘struct blkif_request’ would be changed to have an index in said ‘segment ring’. There is only one segment ring. This means that the size of the initial ring is still the same. The requests would point to the segment and enumerate out how many of the indexes it wants to use. The limit is of course the size of the segment. If one assumes a one-page segment this means we can in one request cover ~4MB. Those patches were posted as RFC and the author never followed up on the ideas on changing it to be a bit more flexible. There is yet another mechanism that could be employed  (which these patches implement) - and it borrows from VirtIO protocol. And that is the ‘indirect descriptors’. This very similar to what Intel suggests, but with a twist. The twist is to negotiate how many of these 'segment' pages (aka indirect descriptor pages) we want to support (in reality we negotiate how many entries in the segment we want to cover, and we module the number if it is bigger than the segment size). This means that with the existing 36 slots in the ring (single page) we can cover: 32 slots * each blkif_request_indirect covers: 512 * 4096 ~= 64M. Since we ample space in the blkif_request_indirect to span more than one indirect page, that number (64M) can be also multiplied by eight = 512MB. Roger Pau Monne took the idea and implemented them in these patches. They work great and the corner cases (migration between backends with and without this extension) work nicely. The backend has a limit right now off how many indirect entries it can handle: one indirect page, and at maximum 256 entries (out of 512 - so 50% of the page is used). That comes out to 32 slots * 256 entries in a indirect page * 1 indirect page per request * 4096 = 32MB. This is a conservative number that can change in the future. Right now it strikes a good balance between giving excellent performance, memory usage in the backend, and balancing the needs of many guests. In the patchset there is also the split of the blkback structure to be per-VBD. This means that the spinlock contention we had with many guests trying to do I/O and all the blkback threads hitting the same lock has been eliminated. Also there are bug-fixes to deal with oddly sized sectors, insane amounts on th ring, and also a security fix (posted earlier).

This grant references are filled with arrays of blkif_request_segment_aligned, this way we can send more segments in a request. The proposed implementation sets the maximum number of indirect grefs (frames filled with blkif_request_segment_aligned) to 256 in the backend and 32 in the frontend. The value in the frontend has been chosen experimentally, and the backend value has been set to a sane value that allows expanding the maximum number of indirect descriptors in the frontend if needed. The migration code has changed from the previous implementation, in which we simply remapped the segments on the shared ring. Now the maximum number of segments allowed in a request can change depending on the backend, so we have to requeue all the requests in the ring and in the queue and split the bios in them if they are bigger than the new maximum number of segments.

The breakage addressed here is not really new and the fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks that I think it's time to actually make some progress. The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths. However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break. That occurs mostly in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows 8 compatibility. [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause problems to show up elsewhere ] Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to individual graphics drivers. At least there's evidence that it does that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel likes that part). The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu. The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by GUI. Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid backlight control problems in the future. - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes that we are compatible with Windows 8. - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads). - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.

There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support Windows 8. The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the ACPI backlight interface on these systems". There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations: (1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver is used). (2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system, but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from doing so by the ACPI subsystem. Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already present). For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied. If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI video driver without the backlight interface otherwise. Make the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load(). This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

This set is larger than I would like, partly due to my lack of review time in the weeks before the merge window and partly because a couple of large drivers and the subsystem as a whole seem to be getting a lot more exposure and testing recently. 1) A long term bug in trigger handling gave a double free of the device. 2) Wrong return value handling means offsets are ignored in iio_convert_raw_to_processed_unlocked. 3) The iio_channel_has_info utility function was incorrectly updated during the recent info_mask split, this is now fixed. 4) mxs-lradc has a couple of little fixes. 5) A couple of missing .driver_module entries meant that drivers could be removed from underneath their users. 6) Error path fixes for ad7303 and lis3l02dq. 7) The scale value for presure in the lps331ap driver was out by a factor of 100.

Fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat revert both. - If autosleep triggers during system shutdown and the shutdown callbacks of some device drivers have been called already, it may crash the system. Fix from Liu Shuo prevents that from happening by making try_to_suspend() check system_state. - The ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't clear its driver_data on errors which may cause a NULL poiter dereference to happen later. Fix from Toshi Kani. - The ACPI namespace scanning code should not try to attach scan handlers to device objects that have them already, which may confuse things quite a bit, and it should rescan the whole namespace branch starting at the given node after receiving a bus check notify event even if the device at that particular node has been discovered already.

Steinar reported an issue on a router receiving IPv6 frames with a vlan tag of 4000 (id 0, prio 2), and tunneled into a sit device, because skb->vlan_tci is set.

Also here is the ability to create binary files as attribute groups, to solve that race condition, which was impossible to do before this, so that's my fault the drivers were broken. The majority of the .c changes is indenting and moving code around a bit. It affects no existing code, but allows the large backlog of 70+ patches that I already have created to start flowing into the different subtrees, instead of having to live in my driver-core tree, causing merge nightmares in linux-next for the next few months. These were finalized too late for the -rc1 merge window, which is why they were didn't make that pull request, testing and review from others didn't happen until a few weeks ago, and then there's the whole distraction of the past few days, which prevented these from getting to you sooner, sorry about that.

Now that the dust has settled with yesterday's v3.11-rc1, there hopefully shouldn't be any new users leaking back in tree, but I think we can leave the harmless no-op stubs there for a release as a courtesy to those who still have out of tree stuff and weren't paying attention. Although the commits are against the recent tag to allow for minor context refreshes for things like yesterday's v3.11-rc1~ slab content, the patches have been largely unchanged for weeks, aside from such trivial updates. For detail junkies, the largely boring and mostly irrelevant history of the patches can be viewed at: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/paulg/cpuinit-delete.git If nothing else, I guess it does at least demonstrate the level of involvement required to shepherd such a treewide change to completion.

For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include) that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Another issue is that the documentation for kmalloc_node() refers to kcalloc()'s documentation to describe its 'flags' parameter, while kcalloc() refered to kmalloc()'s documentation, which doesn't exist! This patch is a proposed fix for this. It also removes the documentation for kmalloc() in include/linux/slob_def.h which isn't included to generate the documentation anyway. This way, kmalloc() is described in only one place.
