  A treewide cleanup of interrupt descriptor (ab)use with all sorts of

2020-12-16T20:33:35+00:00

Pull TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This sits on top of of the core entry/exit and x86 entry branch from
  the tip tree, which contains the generic and x86 parts of this work.

  Here we convert the rest of the archs to support TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL.

  With that done, we can get rid of JOBCTL_TASK_WORK from task_work and
  signal.c, and also remove a deadlock work-around in io_uring around
  knowing that signal based task_work waking is invoked with the sighand
  wait queue head lock.

  The motivation for this work is to decouple signal notify based
  task_work, of which io_uring is a heavy user of, from sighand. The
  sighand lock becomes a huge contention point, particularly for
  threaded workloads where it's shared between threads. Even outside of
  threaded applications it's slower than it needs to be.

  Roman Gershman  reported that his networked
  workload dropped from 1.6M QPS at 80% CPU to 1.0M QPS at 100% CPU
  after io_uring was changed to use TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL. The time was all
  spent hammering on the sighand lock, showing 57% of the CPU time there
  [1].

  There are further cleanups possible on top of this. One example is
  TIF_PATCH_PENDING, where a patch already exists to use
  TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL instead. Hopefully this will also lead to more
  consolidation, but the work stands on its own as well"

alpha: replace bogus in_interrupt()

2020-12-16T06:46:15+00:00

in_interrupt() is true for a variety of things including bottom half
disabled regions.  Deducing hard interrupt context from it is dubious at
best.

Use in_irq() which is true if called in hard interrupt context.  Otherwise
calling irq_exit() would do more harm than good.

alpha: switch from DISCONTIGMEM to SPARSEMEM

2020-12-15T20:13:42+00:00

Patch series "arch, mm: deprecate DISCONTIGMEM", v2.

It's been a while since DISCONTIGMEM is generally considered deprecated,
but it is still used by four architectures.  This set replaces
DISCONTIGMEM with a different way to handle holes in the memory map and
marks DISCONTIGMEM configuration as BROKEN in Kconfigs of these
architectures with the intention to completely remove it in several
releases.

While for 64-bit alpha and ia64 the switch to SPARSEMEM is quite obvious
and was a matter of moving some bits around, for smaller 32-bit arc and
m68k SPARSEMEM is not necessarily the best thing to do.

On 32-bit machines SPARSEMEM would require large sections to make section
index fit in the page flags, but larger sections mean that more memory is
wasted for unused memory map.

Besides, pfn_to_page() and page_to_pfn() become less efficient, at least
on arc.

So I've decided to generalize arm's approach for freeing of unused parts
of the memory map with FLATMEM and enable it for both arc and m68k.  The
details are in the description of patches 10 (arc) and 13 (m68k).

This patch (of 13):

Enable SPARSEMEM support on alpha and deprecate DISCONTIGMEM.

The required changes are mostly around moving duplicated definitions of
page access and address conversion macros to a common place and making sure
they are available for all memory models.

The DISCONTINGMEM support is marked as BROKEN an will be removed in a
couple of releases.

genirq: Move irq_has_action() into core code

2020-12-15T15:19:30+00:00

This function uses irq_to_desc() and is going to be used by modules to
replace the open coded irq_to_desc() (ab)usage. The final goal is to remove
the export of irq_to_desc() so driver cannot fiddle with it anymore.

Move it into the core code and fixup the usage sites to include the proper
header.

sched/idle: Fix arch_cpu_idle() vs tracing

2020-11-24T15:47:35+00:00

We call arch_cpu_idle() with RCU disabled, but then use
local_irq_{en,dis}able(), which invokes tracing, which relies on RCU.

Switch all arch_cpu_idle() implementations to use
raw_local_irq_{en,dis}able() and carefully manage the
lockdep,rcu,tracing state like we do in entry.

(XXX: we really should change arch_cpu_idle() to not return with
interrupts enabled)

rtc: rework rtc_register_device() resource management

2020-11-19T11:50:12+00:00

rtc_register_device() is a managed interface but it doesn't use devres
by itself - instead it marks an rtc_device as "registered" and the devres
callback for devm_rtc_allocate_device() takes care of resource release.

This doesn't correspond with the design behind devres where managed
structures should not be aware of being managed. The correct solution
here is to register a separate devres callback for unregistering the
device.

While at it: rename rtc_register_device() to devm_rtc_register_device()
and add it to the list of managed interfaces in devres.rst. This way we
can avoid any potential confusion of driver developers who may expect
there to exist a corresponding unregister function.
