  • Currently, rcu_irq_exit() is invoked only for CONFIG_NO_HZ,
    while rcu_irq_enter() is invoked unconditionally. This patch
    moves rcu_irq_exit() out from under CONFIG_NO_HZ so that the
    calls are balanced.

    This patch has no effect on the behavior of the kernel because
    both rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() are empty for
    !CONFIG_NO_HZ, but the code is easier to understand if the calls
    are obviously balanced in all cases.

  • Some compilers are happy with "#elif CONFIG_RCU_TINY", while
    others strongly prefer "#elif defined(CONFIG_RCU_TINY)". Change
    to the latter to make more compilers happy.

  • This patch creates a synchronize_srcu_expedited() that uses
    synchronize_sched_expedited() where synchronize_srcu()
    uses synchronize_sched(). The synchronize_srcu() and
    synchronize_srcu_expedited() functions become one-liners that
    pass synchronize_sched() or synchronize_sched_expedited(),
    repectively, to a new __synchronize_srcu() function.

    While in the file, move the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s to immediately
    follow the corresponding functions.

  • This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a
    small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the
    implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and
    high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the
    four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT)
    on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU
    (which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes
    compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30):

    CONFIG_TREE_RCU:

    text data bss dec filename
    183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o
    2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o
    3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7)

    CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU:

    text data bss dec filename
    263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o
    4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o
    5689 Total (6155 for v7)

    CONFIG_TINY_RCU:

    text data bss dec filename
    96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o
    734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o
    858 Total (vs 848 for v7)

    The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms.
    Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated.

    Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388)

    o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from
    might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds).

    o Fix up expedited primitives.

    Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293).

    o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream.

    o Added lockdep support.

    o Make lightweight rcu_barrier.

    Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12).

    o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel.

    - Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs().
    - Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs().
    - Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify().
    - Provided trivial exit_rcu().
    - Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu().
    - Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h.

    o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making
    TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future.

    o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods.

    Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include:

    o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the
    ->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk.

    o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function.
    Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as
    rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from
    rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh().

    Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include:

    o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh()
    rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and
    rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David
    Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o.
    (The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly
    comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.)

    Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include:

    o Fix whitespace issues.

    o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order
    to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN.

    (http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/)

    Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include:

    o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested
    by Ingo.

    o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero,
    permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time.
    This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to
    dynticks-idle mode.

    o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at
    the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said
    that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems.

    o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.

  • o Remove the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU documentation since this
    config option has now been removed.

    o Change the now-incorrect references to "rcu" labels to
    instead be "rcu_sched".

    o Add notes stating that CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU kernels will
    have additional "rcu_preempt" output.

    o Note the new "oqlen" field in the rcuhier output (for
    RCU callbacks orphaned by an offlined CPU).

  • For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to
    synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to
    synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU.

    Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for
    TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably
    more complex and intrusive.

  • As the number of callbacks on a given CPU rises, invoke
    force_quiescent_state() only every blimit number of callbacks
    (defaults to 10,000), and even then only if no other CPU has
    invoked force_quiescent_state() in the meantime.

    This should fix the performance regression reported by Nick.

  • If userspace tries to perform a requeue_pi on a non-requeue_pi waiter,
    it will find the futex_q->requeue_pi_key to be NULL and OOPS.

    Check for NULL in match_futex() instead of doing explicit NULL pointer
    checks on all call sites. While match_futex(NULL, NULL) returning
    false is a little odd, it's still correct as we expect valid key
    references.

  • The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and
    futex_wait_requeue_pi.

    The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake /
    requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one
    of the syscall restart error codes.

    In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals
    with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error
    code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the
    return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test
    program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in
    spurious wake up accelerator :)

    Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and
    handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

  • A race shouldn't happen since all workqueues or handlers are canceled
    or flushed before the event buffer is freed. A warning is triggered
    now if the buffer is freed too early.

    Also, this patch adds some comments about event buffer protection,
    reworks some code and adds code to clear buffer_pos during alloc and
    free of the event buffer.

  • Looking at the 2.6.31-rc9 code, it appears there is a race condition
    in the event_buffer cleanup code path (shutdown). This could lead to
    kernel panic as some CPUs may be operating on the event buffer AFTER
    it has been freed. The attached patch solves the problem and makes
    sure CPUs check if the buffer is not NULL before they access it as
    some may have been spinning on the mutex while the buffer was being
    freed.

    The race may happen if the buffer is freed during pending reads. But
    it is not clear why there are races in add_event_entry() since all
    workqueues or handlers are canceled or flushed before the event buffer
    is freed.

  • Some tracepoint magic (TRACE_EVENT(lock_acquired)) relies on
    the fact that lock hold times are positive and uses div64 on
    that. That triggered a build warning on MIPS, and probably
    causes bad output in certain circumstances as well.

    Make it truly positive.

  • Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
    problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
    reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
    iwlagn.

    It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
    checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
    timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
    wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.

    The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
    interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:

    1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less

    2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
    the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.

    I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
    original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
    success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
    range.

  • When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of
    co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu
    D-caches which can have aliases.

    Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace
    and vice versa.

    If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same
    alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is
    shared of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED
    will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with
    D-cache aliasing matters.

    The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific
    alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node(). All
    existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior.
    vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment.

    As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other
    vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems.

  • The PC Card 8.0 specification (vol. 4, section 3.2.10) says the
    TPLLV1_INFO field of the CISTPL_VERS_1 tuple must contain 4 strings. Some
    cards don't have all 4 so just parse as many as we can.
