xtensa: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop

2012-10-12T20:47:18+00:00

commit 11ad47a0edbd62bfc0547cfcdf227a911433f207 upstream.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the xtensa's idle loop.

xtensa: replace xtensa-specific _f{data,text} by _s{data,text}

2012-06-20T21:39:35+00:00

commit a2d063ac216c161 ("extable, core_kernel_data(): Make sure all archs
define _sdata") missed xtensa.  Xtensa does have a start of data marker,
but calls it _fdata, causing

    kernel/built-in.o:(.text+0x964): undefined reference to `_sdata'

_stext was already defined, but it was duplicated by _fdata.

new helper: signal_delivered()

2012-06-01T16:58:52+00:00

Does block_sigmask() + tracehook_signal_handler();  called when
sigframe has been successfully built.  All architectures converted
to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one).

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate
story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number +
siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one,
signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -
take one).

most of set_current_blocked() callers want SIGKILL/SIGSTOP removed from set

2012-06-01T16:58:51+00:00

Only 3 out of 63 do not.  Renamed the current variant to __set_current_blocked(),
added set_current_blocked() that will exclude unblockable signals, switched
open-coded instances to it.

first fruits of ..._restore_sigmask() helpers: now we can take
boilerplate "signal didn't have a handler, clear RESTORE_SIGMASK
and restore the blocked mask from ->saved_mask" into a common
helper.  Open-coded instances switched...
