| * | | x86, bts, hw-branch-tracer: add _noirq variants to the debug store interfaceMarkus Metzger2009-04-071-121/+72

Add _noirq variants for most functions, which may be called with interrupts disabled. Separate per-cpu and per-task tracing and allow per-cpu tracing to be controlled from any cpu. Make the hw-branch-tracer use the new debug store interface, synchronize with hotplug cpu event using get/put_online_cpus(), and remove the unnecessary spinlock. Make the ptrace bts and the ds selftest code use the new interface. Defer the ds selftest.

Avoid an endless loop issue by requiring that a highres valid clocksource be installed before we call tick_periodic() in a loop when using ONESHOT mode. The result is we will only increment jiffies once per interrupt until a continuous hardware clocksource is available. Without this, we can run into a endless loop, where each cycle through the loop, jiffies is updated which increments time by tick_period or more (due to clock steering), which can cause the event programming to think the next event was before the newly incremented time and fail causing tick_periodic() to be called again and the whole process loops forever.

The commit added a warning when handle_IRQ_event() is called outside of hard interrupt context. This breaks the generic tasklet based interrupt resend mechanism which is used when the hardware has no way to retrigger the interrupt. So we get a warning for a use case which is correct and worked for years. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Further analysis pointed that commit 79741dd35713ff4f6fd0eafd59fa94e8a4ba922d ([PATCH] idle cputime accounting) was the real cause of the problem. account_process_tick() was not taking into account timer IRQ interrupting the idle task servicing a hard or soft irq. On mostly idle cpu, irqs were thus not accounted and top or mpstat could tell user/admin that cpu was 100 % idle, 0.00 % irq, 0.00 % softirq, while it was not.

[...] > > The only reason we migrate MSIs in interrupt context today is that there > wasn't infrastructure for support migration both in interrupt context > and outside of it. Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process context. One of the patches in the series did disable_irq(dev->irq); irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu)); enable_irq(dev->irq); with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled and moving the interrupt in process context. IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code. Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally. Reported-by: "Eric W.

Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet. Also, it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the case. Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

Unfortunately, this turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power control devices during the .prepare() callback. For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks, .prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line, respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish() platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by device drivers and right before executing their regular resume methods, respectively). It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used by ACPI platforms. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

And since recursing into the conflicting resource was the most complex part, and isn't wanted, just remove it. Maybe we'll some day want both versions, but we can just resurrect the logic then.

The problem stems from a misguided attempt to provide a work-around for jiffies-counter failure. This work-around uses a per-CPU n_rcu_pending counter, which is incremented on each call to rcu_pending(), which in turn is called from each scheduling-clock interrupt. Each CPU then treats this counter as a surrogate for the jiffies counter, so that if the jiffies counter fails to advance, the per-CPU n_rcu_pending counter will cause RCU to invoke force_quiescent_state(), which in turn will (among other things) send resched IPIs to CPUs that have thus far failed to pass through an RCU quiescent state. Unfortunately, each CPU resets only its own counter after sending a batch of IPIs. This means that the other CPUs will also (needlessly) send -another- round of IPIs, for a full N-squared set of IPIs in the worst case every three scheduler-clock ticks until the grace period finally ends. It is not reasonable for a given CPU to reset each and every n_rcu_pending for all the other CPUs, so this patch instead simply disables the jiffies-counter "training wheels", thus eliminating the excessive IPIs. Note that the jiffies-counter IPIs do not have this problem due to the fact that the jiffies counter is global, so that the CPU sending the IPIs can easily reset things, thus preventing the other CPUs from sending redundant IPIs. Note also that the n_rcu_pending counter remains, as it will continue to be used for tracing. It may also see use to update the jiffies counter, should an appropriate kick-the-jiffies-counter API appear.

The bug was recently introduced by me in "forget_original_parent: split out the un-ptrace part", commit 39c626ae47c469abdfd30c6e42eff884931380d6. Since that patch we have a window after exit_ptrace() drops tasklist and before forget_original_parent() takes it again. In this window the child can do ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME) and nobody can untrace this child after that. Change ptrace_traceme() to not attach to the exiting ->real_parent. We don't report the error in this case, we pretend we attach right before ->real_parent calls exit_ptrace() which should untrace us anyway.
