powerpc: Make sure IPI handlers see data written by IPI senders

2012-09-14T17:00:22+00:00

commit 9fb1b36ca1234e64a5d1cc573175303395e3354d upstream.

We have been observing hangs, both of KVM guest vcpu tasks and more
generally, where a process that is woken doesn't properly wake up and
continue to run, but instead sticks in TASK_WAKING state.  This
happens because the update of rq->wake_list in ttwu_queue_remote()
is not ordered with the update of ipi_message in
smp_muxed_ipi_message_pass(), and the reading of rq->wake_list in
scheduler_ipi() is not ordered with the reading of ipi_message in
smp_ipi_demux().  Thus it is possible for the IPI receiver not to see
the updated rq->wake_list and therefore conclude that there is nothing
for it to do.

In order to make sure that anything done before smp_send_reschedule()
is ordered before anything done in the resulting call to scheduler_ipi(),
this adds barriers in smp_muxed_message_pass() and smp_ipi_demux().
The barrier in smp_muxed_message_pass() is a full barrier to ensure that
there is a full ordering between the smp_send_reschedule() caller and
scheduler_ipi().  In smp_ipi_demux(), we use xchg() rather than
xchg_local() because xchg() includes release and acquire barriers.
Using xchg() rather than xchg_local() makes sense given that
ipi_message is not just accessed locally.

This moves the barrier between setting the message and calling the
cause_ipi() function into the individual cause_ipi implementations.
Most of them -- those that used outb, out_8 or similar -- already had
a full barrier because out_8 etc. include a sync before the MMIO
store.  This adds an explicit barrier in the two remaining cases.

These changes made no measurable difference to the speed of IPIs as
measured using a simple ping-pong latency test across two CPUs on
different cores of a POWER7 machine.

The analysis of the reason why processes were not waking up properly
is due to Milton Miller.

powerpc/irqdomain: Fix broken NR_IRQ references

2012-04-30T00:45:26+00:00

The switch from using irq_map to irq_alloc_desc*() for managing irq
number allocations introduced new bugs in some of the powerpc
interrupt code.  Several functions rely on the value of NR_IRQS to
determine the maximum irq number that could get allocated.  However,
with sparse_irq and using irq_alloc_desc*() the maximum possible irq
number is now specified with 'nr_irqs' which may be a number larger
than NR_IRQS.  This has caused breakage on powermac when
CONFIG_NR_IRQS is set to 32.

This patch removes most of the direct references to NR_IRQS in the
powerpc code and replaces them with either a nr_irqs reference or by
using the common for_each_irq_desc() macro.  The powerpc-specific
for_each_irq() macro is removed at the same time.

Also, the Cell axon_msi driver is refactored to remove the global
build assumption on the size of NR_IRQS and instead add a limit to the
maximum irq number when calling irq_domain_add_nomap().

powerpc/8xx: Fix NR_IRQ bugs and refactor 8xx interrupt controller

2012-04-30T00:45:25+00:00

The mpc8xx driver uses a reference to NR_IRQS that is buggy.  It uses
NR_IRQs for the array size of the ppc_cached_irq_mask bitmap, but
NR_IRQs could be smaller than the number of hardware irqs that
ppc_cached_irq_mask tracks.

Also, while fixing that problem, it became apparent that the interrupt
controller only supports 32 interrupt numbers, but it is written as if
it supports multiple register banks which is more complicated.

This patch pulls out the buggy reference to NR_IRQs and fixes the size
of the ppc_cached_irq_mask to match the number of HW irqs.  It also
drops the now-unnecessary code since ppc_cached_irq_mask is no longer
an array.

Merge branch 'for-v3.4-rc5' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-04-28T02:32:37+00:00

Pull build fixes for less mainstream architectures from Paul Gortmaker:
 "These are fixes for frv(1), blackfin(2), powerpc(1) and xtensa(4).

  Fortunately the touches are nearly all specific to files just used by
  the arch in question.  The two touches to shared/common files
  [kernel/irq/debug.h and drivers/pci/Makefile] are trivial to assess as
  no risk to anyone.

  Half of them relate to xtensa directly.  It was only when I fixed the
  last xtensa issue that I realized that the arch has been broken for a
  significant time, and isn't a specific v3.4 regression.  So if you
  wanted, we could leave xtensa lying bleeding in the street for a
  couple more weeks and queue those for 3.5.  But given they are no risk
  to anyone outside of xtensa, I figured to just leave them in.

  If you are OK with taking the xtensa fixes, then please pull to get:

   - one last implicit include uncovered by system.h that is in a file
     specific to just one powerpc defconfig.  (I'd sync'd with BenH).

   - fix an oversight in the PCI makefile where shared code wasn't being
     compiled for ARCH=frv

   - fix a missing include for GPIO in blackfin framebuffer.

   - audit and tag endif in blackfin ezkit board file, in order to find
     and fix the misplaced endif masking a block of code.

   - fix irq/debug.h choice of temporary macro names to be more internal
     so they don't conflict with names used by xtensa.

   - fix a reference to an undeclared local var in xtensa's signal.c

   - fix an implicit bug.h usage in xtensa's asm/io.h uncovered by my
     removing bug.h from kernel.h

   - fix xtensa to properly indicate it is using asm-generic/hardirq.h
     in order to resolve the link error - undefined ack_bad_irq

  The xtensa still fails final link as my latest binutils does something
  evil when ld forward-relocates unlikely() blocks, but in theory people
  who have older/valid toolchains could now use the thing."

powerpc/mpic: Properly set default triggers

2012-04-23T01:04:30+00:00

This gets rid of the unused default senses array, and replaces the
incorrect use of IRQ_TYPE_NONE with the new IRQ_TYPE_DEFAULT for
the initial set_trigger() call when mapping an interrupt.

This in turn makes us read the HW state and update the irq desc
accordingly.

powerpc/mpic: Fix confusion between hw_irq and virq

2012-04-23T01:04:29+00:00

mpic_is_ipi() takes a virq and immediately converts it to a hw_irq.

However, one of the two call sites calls it with a ... hw_irq. The
other call site also happens to have the hw_irq at hand, so let's
change it to just take that as an argument. Also change mpic_is_tm()
for consistency.
