powerpc/eeh: Lock module while handling EEH event

2012-10-17T02:48:32+00:00

commit feadf7c0a1a7c08c74bebb4a13b755f8c40e3bbc upstream.

The EEH core is talking with the PCI device driver to determine the
action (purely reset, or PCI device removal). During the period, the
driver might be unloaded and in turn causes kernel crash as follows:

EEH: Detected PCI bus error on PHB#4-PE#10000

The patch increases the reference of the corresponding driver modules
while EEH core does the negotiation with PCI device driver so that the
corresponding driver modules can't be unloaded during the period and
we're safe to refer the callbacks.

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

2012-09-19T14:04:42+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/xics: Harden xics hypervisor backend

2012-09-19T14:04:42+00:00

commit 3ce21cdfe93efffa4ffba9cf3ca2576d3d60d6dc upstream.

During kdump stress testing I sometimes see the kdump kernel panic
with:

  Interrupt 0x306 (real) is invalid, disabling it.
  Kernel panic - not syncing: bad return code EOI - rc = -4, value=ff000306

Instead of panicing print the error message, dump the stack the first
time it happens and continue on. Add some more information to the
debug messages as well.

powerpc: Restore correct DSCR in context switch

2012-09-19T14:04:42+00:00

commit 714332858bfd40dcf8f741498336d93875c23aa7 upstream.

During a context switch we always restore the per thread DSCR value.
If we aren't doing explicit DSCR management
(ie thread.dscr_inherit == 0) and the default DSCR changed while
the process has been sleeping we end up with the wrong value.

Check thread.dscr_inherit and select the default DSCR or per thread
DSCR as required.

This was found with the following test case, when running with
more threads than CPUs (ie forcing context switching):

http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/dscr_default_test.c

With the four patches applied I can run a combination of all
test cases successfully at the same time:

powerpc: Fix DSCR inheritance in copy_thread()

2012-09-19T14:04:41+00:00

commit 1021cb268b3025573c4811f1dee4a11260c4507b upstream.

If the default DSCR is non zero we set thread.dscr_inherit in
copy_thread() meaning the new thread and all its children will ignore
future updates to the default DSCR. This is not intended and is
a change in behaviour that a number of our users have hit.

We just need to inherit thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit from
the parent which ends up being much simpler.

powerpc: Keep thread.dscr and thread.dscr_inherit in sync

2012-09-19T14:04:41+00:00

commit 00ca0de02f80924dfff6b4f630e1dff3db005e35 upstream.

When we update the DSCR either via emulation of mtspr(DSCR) or via
a change to dscr_default in sysfs we don't update thread.dscr.
We will eventually update it at context switch time but there is
a period where thread.dscr is incorrect.

If we fork at this point we will copy the old value of thread.dscr
into the child. To avoid this, always keep thread.dscr in sync with
reality.

powerpc: Update DSCR on all CPUs when writing sysfs dscr_default

2012-09-19T14:04:40+00:00

commit 1b6ca2a6fe56e7697d57348646e07df08f43b1bb upstream.

Writing to dscr_default in sysfs doesn't actually change the DSCR -
we rely on a context switch on each CPU to do the work. There is no
guarantee we will get a context switch in a reasonable amount of time
so fire off an IPI to force an immediate change.

powerpc: Fix wrong divisor in usecs_to_cputime

2012-07-25T03:11:38+00:00

commit 9f5072d4f63f28d30d343573830ac6c85fc0deff upstream.

Commit d57af9b (taskstats: use real microsecond granularity for CPU times)
renamed msecs_to_cputime to usecs_to_cputime, but failed to update all
numbers on the way.  This causes nonsensical cpu idle/iowait values to be
displayed in /proc/stat (the only user of usecs_to_cputime so far).

This also renames __cputime_msec_factor to __cputime_usec_factor, adapting
its value and using it directly in cputime_to_usecs instead of doing two
multiplications.
