* | | Fix oprofile configuration breakageRalf Baechle2007-12-061-0/+4
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The cleanup 09cadedbdc01f1a4bea1f427d4fb4642eaa19da9 broke the oprofile configuration for MIPS by allowing oprofile support to be built for kernel models where oprofile doesn't have a chance in hell to work. Just a dependecy list on a number of architectures is - surprise - broken and should as per past discussions probably in most considered to be broken in most cases. So I introduce a dependency for the oprofile configuration on ARCH_SUPPORTS_OPROFILE. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized. The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy replacement is disabled and can use i8253 at boot. If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy replacement for kexec in machine_shutdown().

It however can produce spurious false negative if a processor exception occurs in the middle of the operation. Normally this is not a problem since cmpxchg is typically called in a loop until it succeeds to implement an atomic increment for example. Some use cases which don't involve a loop require that the operation be 100% reliable though. This patch changes the implementation so to reattempt the operation after an exception has occurred in the critical section rather than abort it. Here's a simple program to test the fix (don't use CONFIG_NO_HZ in your kernel as this depends on a sufficiently high interrupt rate): #include <stdio.h> typedef int (__kernel_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, int *ptr); #define __kernel_cmpxchg (*(__kernel_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0) int main() { int i, x = 0; for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) { int v = x; if (__kernel_cmpxchg(v, v+1, &x)) printf("failed at %d: %d vs %d\n", i, v, x); } printf("done with %d vs %d\n", i, x); return 0; } Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
