random: make 'add_interrupt_randomness()' do something sane

2012-08-15T19:04:12+00:00

commit 775f4b297b780601e61787b766f306ed3e1d23eb upstream.

We've been moving away from add_interrupt_randomness() for various
reasons: it's too expensive to do on every interrupt, and flooding the
CPU with interrupts could theoretically cause bogus floods of entropy
from a somewhat externally controllable source.

This solves both problems by limiting the actual randomness addition
to just once a second or after 64 interrupts, whicever comes first.
During that time, the interrupt cycle data is buffered up in a per-cpu
pool.  Also, we make sure the the nonblocking pool used by urandom is
initialized before we start feeding the normal input pool.  This
assures that /dev/urandom is returning unpredictable data as soon as
possible.

(Based on an original patch by Linus, but significantly modified by
tytso.)

irq: Handle spurios irq detection for threaded irqs

2011-06-03T12:53:15+00:00

The detection of spurios interrupts is currently limited to first level
handler. In force-threaded mode we never notice if the threaded irq does
not feel responsible.
This patch catches the return value of the threaded handler and forwards
it to the spurious detector. If the primary handler returns only
IRQ_WAKE_THREAD then the spourious detector ignores it because it gets
called again from the threaded handler.

[ tglx: Report the erroneous return value early and bail out ]

genirq: Move INPROGRESS, MASKED and DISABLED state flags to irq_data

2011-03-28T14:55:10+00:00

We really need these flags for some of the interrupt chips. Move it
from internal state to irq_data and provide proper accessors.

genirq: Prepare the handling of shared oneshot interrupts

2011-02-25T19:24:21+00:00

For level type interrupts we need to track how many threads are on
flight to avoid useless interrupt storms when not all thread handlers
have finished yet. Keep track of the woken threads and only unmask
when there are no more threads in flight.

Yes, I'm lazy and using a bitfield. But not only because I'm lazy, the
main reason is that it's way simpler than using a refcount. A refcount
based solution would need to keep track of various things like
crashing the irq thread, spurious interrupts coming in,
disables/enables, free_irq() and some more. The bitfield keeps the
tracking simple and makes things just work. It's also nicely confined
to the thread code pathes and does not require additional checks all
over the place.

genirq: Make warning in handle_percpu_event useful

2011-02-25T16:17:18+00:00

The WARN_ON_ONCE in handle_percpu_event() which emits a warning when
an action handler returns with interrupts enabled is not really
useful. It does not reveal the interrupt number and handler function
which caused it. Make it WARN_ONCE() and add the information.

genirq: Use the correct variable for note_interrupt

2011-02-22T12:02:03+00:00

note_interrupt wants to be called with the combined result of all
handlers called, not with the last one. If it's a shared interrupt
then the last handler might return IRQ_NONE often enough to trigger
the spurious dectector which turns off a perfectly fine working
interrupt line. Bug was introduced in commit 1277a532(genirq: Simplify
handle_irq_event()).

Yes, I really messed up there. First the variable ret should not have
been named differently to avoid similarity with retval. Second it
should have been declared in the do {} loop.

Rename it to res and move it into the do {} loop and vanish under a
huge brown paperbag.
