This patch is a bugfix for how defio handles multiple processes manipulating
the same framebuffer.
Thanks to Bernard Blackham for identifying this bug.
It occurs when two applications mmap the same framebuffer and concurrently
write to the same page. Normally, this doesn't occur since only a single
process mmaps the framebuffer. The symptom of the bug is that the mapping
applications will hang. The cause is that defio incorrectly tries to add the
same page twice to the pagelist. The solution I have is to walk the pagelist
and check for a duplicate before adding. Since I needed to walk the pagelist,
I now also keep the pagelist in sorted order.

If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

On three of the several paths in entry_64.S that call
do_notify_resume() on the way back to user mode, we fail to properly
check again for newly-arrived work that requires another call to
do_notify_resume() before going to user mode. These paths set the
mask to check only _TIF_NEED_RESCHED, but this is wrong. The other
paths that lead to do_notify_resume() do this correctly already, and
entry_32.S does it correctly in all cases.
All paths back to user mode have to check all the _TIF_WORK_MASK
flags at the last possible stage, with interrupts disabled.
Otherwise, we miss any flags (TIF_SIGPENDING for example) that were
set any time after we entered do_notify_resume(). More work flags
can be set (or left set) synchronously inside do_notify_resume(), as
TIF_SIGPENDING can be, or asynchronously by interrupts or other CPUs
(which then send an asynchronous interrupt).
There are many different scenarios that could hit this bug, most of
them races. The simplest one to demonstrate does not require any
race: when one signal has done handler setup at the check before
returning from a syscall, and there is another signal pending that
should be handled. The second signal's handler should interrupt the
first signal handler before it actually starts (so the interrupted PC
is still at the handler's entry point). Instead, it runs away until
the next kernel entry (next syscall, tick, etc).
This test behaves correctly on 32-bit kernels, and fails on 64-bit
(either 32-bit or 64-bit test binary). With this fix, it works.

There is no such entity as ISA IRQ2. The ACPI spec does not make it
explicitly clear, but does not preclude it either -- all it says is ISA
legacy interrupts are identity mapped by default (subject to overrides),
but it does not state whether IRQ2 exists or not. As a result if there is
no IRQ0 override, then IRQ2 is normally initialised as an ISA interrupt,
which implies an edge-triggered line, which is unmasked by default as this
is what we do for edge-triggered I/O APIC interrupts so as not to miss an
edge.
To the best of my knowledge it is useless, as IRQ2 has not been in use
since the PC/AT as back then it was taken by the 8259A cascade interrupt
to the slave, with the line position in the slot rerouted to newly-created
IRQ9. No device could thus make use of this line with the pair of 8259A
chips. Now in theory INTIN2 of the I/O APIC may be usable, but the
interrupt of the device wired to it would not be available in the PIC mode
at all, so I seriously doubt if anybody decided to reuse it for a regular
device.
However there are two common uses of INTIN2. One is for IRQ0, with an
ACPI interrupt override (or its equivalent in the MP table). But in this
case IRQ2 is gone entirely with INTIN0 left vacant. The other one is for
an 8959A ExtINTA cascade. In this case IRQ0 goes to INTIN0 and if ACPI is
used INTIN2 is assumed to be IRQ2 (there is no override and ACPI has no
way to report ExtINTA interrupts). This is where a problem happens.
The problem is INTIN2 is configured as a native APIC interrupt, with a
vector assigned and the mask cleared. And the line may indeed get active
and inject interrupts if the master 8959A has its timer interrupt enabled
(it might happen for other interrupts too, but they are normally masked in
the process of rerouting them to the I/O APIC). There are two cases where
it will happen:
* When the I/O APIC NMI watchdog is enabled. This is actually a misnomer
as the watchdog pulses are delivered through the 8259A to the LINT0
inputs of all the local APICs in the system. The implication is the
output of the master 8259A goes high and low repeatedly, signalling
interrupts to INTIN2 which is enabled too!
[The origin of the name is I think for a brief period during the
development we had a capability in our code to configure the watchdog to
use an I/O APIC input; that would be INTIN2 in this scenario.]
* When the native route of IRQ0 via INTIN0 fails for whatever reason -- as
it happens with the system considered here. In this scenario the timer
pulse is delivered through the 8259A to LINT0 input of the local APIC of
the bootstrap processor, quite similarly to how is done for the watchdog
described above. The result is, again, INTIN2 receives these pulses
too. Rafael's system used to escape this scenario, because an incorrect
IRQ0 override would occupy INTIN2 and prevent it from being unmasked.
My conclusion is IRQ2 should be excluded from configuration in all the
cases and the current exception for ACPI systems should be lifted. The
reason being the exception not only being useless, but harmful as well.

Unlike the 32-bit one, the 64-bit variation of the LVT0 setup code for
the "8259A Virtual Wire" through the local APIC timer configuration does
not fully configure the relevant irq_chip structure. Instead it relies on
the preceding I/O APIC code to have set it up, which does not happen if
the I/O APIC variants have not been tried.
The patch includes corresponding changes to the 32-bit variation too
which make them both the same, barring a small syntactic difference
involving sequence of functions in the source. That should work as an aid
with the upcoming merge.

When we release the iclog, we do an atomic_dec_and_lock to determine if
we are the last reference and need to trigger update of log headers and
writeout. However, in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() we also need to
check if we have the last reference count there. If we do, we release
the log buffer, otherwise we decrement the reference count.
But the compare and decrement in xlog_state_get_iclog_space() is not
atomic, so both places can see a reference count of 2 and neither will
release the iclog. That leads to a filesystem hang.
Close the race by replacing the atomic_read() and atomic_dec() pair with
atomic_add_unless() to ensure that they are executed atomically.

| x86: remove open-coded save/load segment operations
|
| This removes a pile of buggy open-coded implementations of savesegment
| and loadsegment.
after some more bisection of this patch itself, it turns out that what
makes the difference are the savesegment() changes to __switch_to().
Taking a look at this portion of arch/x86/kernel/process_64.o revealed
this crutial difference:
| good: 99c: 8c e0 mov %fs,%eax
| 99e: 89 45 cc mov %eax,-0x34(%rbp)
|
| bad: 99c: 8c 65 cc mov %fs,-0x34(%rbp)
which is due to:
| unsigned fsindex;
| - asm volatile("movl %%fs,%0" : "=r" (fsindex));
| + savesegment(fs, fsindex);
savesegment() is implemented as:
#define savesegment(seg, value) \
asm("mov %%" #seg ",%0":"=rm" (value) : : "memory")
note the "m" modifier - it allows GCC to generate the segment move
into a memory operand as well.
But regarding segment operands there's a subtle detail in the x86
instruction set: the above 16-bit moves are zero-extend, but only
if it goes to a register.
If it goes to a memory operand, -0x34(%rbp) in the above case, there's
no zero-extend to 32-bit and the instruction will only save 16 bits
instead of the intended 32-bit.
The other 16 bits is random data - which can cause problems when that
value is used later on.
The solution is to only allow segment operands to go to registers.
This fix allows my test-system to boot up without crashing.

The sched_clock code currently tries to keep all CPU clocks of all CPUS
somewhat in sync. At every clock tick it records the gtod clock and
uses that and jiffies and the TSC to calculate a CPU clock that tries to
stay in sync with all the other CPUs.
ftrace depends heavily on this timer and it detects when this timer
"jumps". One problem is that the TSC and the gtod also drift.
When the TSC is 0.1% faster or slower than the gtod it is very noticeable
in ftrace. To help compensate for this, I've added a multiplier that
tries to keep the CPU clock updating at the same rate as the gtod.
I've tried various ways to get it to be in sync and this ended up being
the most reliable. At every scheduler tick we calculate the new multiplier:
multi = delta_gtod / delta_TSC
This means we perform a 64 bit divide at the tick (once a HZ). A shift
is used to handle the accuracy.
Other methods that failed due to dynamic HZ are:
(not used) multi += (gtod - tsc) / delta_gtod
(not used) multi += (gtod - (last_tsc + delta_tsc)) / delta_gtod
as well as other variants.
This code still allows for a slight drift between TSC and gtod, but
it keeps the damage down to a minimum.

The algorithm to calculate the 'now' of another CPU is not correct.
At each scheduler tick, each CPU records the last sched_clock and
gtod (tick_raw and tick_gtod respectively). If the TSC is somewhat the
same in speed between two clocks the algorithm would be:
tick_gtod1 + (now1 - tick_raw1) = tick_gtod2 + (now2 - tick_raw2)
To calculate now2 we would have:
now2 = (tick_gtod1 - tick_gtod2) + (tick_raw2 - tick_raw1) + now1
Currently the algorithm is:
now2 = (tick_gtod1 - tick_gtod2) + (tick_raw1 - tick_raw2) + now1
This solves most of the rest of the issues I've had with timestamps in
ftace.

Working with ftrace I would get large jumps of 11 millisecs or more with
the clock tracer. This killed the latencing timings of ftrace and also
caused the irqoff self tests to fail.
What was happening is with NO_HZ the idle would stop the jiffy counter and
before the jiffy counter was updated the sched_clock would have a bad
delta jiffies to compare with the gtod with the maximum.
The jiffies would stop and the last sched_tick would record the last gtod.
On wakeup, the sched clock update would compare the gtod + delta jiffies
(which would be zero) and compare it to the TSC. The TSC would have
correctly (with a stable TSC) moved forward several jiffies. But because the
jiffies has not been updated yet the clock would be prevented from moving
forward because it would appear that the TSC jumped too far ahead.
The clock would then virtually stop, until the jiffies are updated. Then
the next sched clock update would see that the clock was very much behind
since the delta jiffies is now correct. This would then jump the clock
forward by several jiffies.
This caused ftrace to report several milliseconds of interrupts off
latency at every resume from NO_HZ idle.
This patch adds hooks into the nohz code to disable the checking of the
maximum clock update when nohz is in effect. It resumes the max check
when nohz has updated the jiffies again.

With keeping the max and min sched time within one jiffy of the gtod clock
was too tight. Just before a schedule tick the max could easily be hit, as
well as just after a schedule_tick the min could be hit. This caused the
clock to jump around by a jiffy.
This patch widens the minimum to
last gtod + (delta_jiffies ? delta_jiffies - 1 : 0) * TICK_NSECS
and the maximum to
last gtod + (2 + delta_jiffies) * TICK_NSECS
This keeps the minum to gtod or if one jiffy less than delta jiffies
and the maxim 2 jiffies ahead of gtod. This may cause unstable TSCs to be
a bit more sporadic, but it helps keep a clock with a stable TSC working well.

The sched_clock code tries to keep within the gtod time by one tick (jiffy).
The current code mistakenly keeps track of the delta jiffies between
updates of the clock, where the the delta is used to compare with the
number of jiffies that have past since an update of the gtod. The gtod is
updated at each schedule tick not each sched_clock update. After one
jiffy passes the clock is updated fine. But the delta is taken from the
last update so if the next update happens before the next tick the delta
jiffies used will be incorrect.
This patch changes the code to check the delta of jiffies between ticks
and not updates to match the comparison of the updates with the gtod.

It has been suggested that I add a way to disable the function tracer
on an oops. This code adds a ftrace_kill_atomic. It is not meant to be
used in normal situations. It will disable the ftrace tracer, but will
not perform the nice shutdown that requires scheduling.

This is more of a clean up. Currently the function tracer initializes the
tracer with which ever CPU was last used for tracing. This value isn't
realy useful for function tracing, but at least it should be something other
than a random number.

Enabling the wakeup tracer before enabling the function tracing causes
some strange results due to the dynamic enabling of the functions.

After the sched_clock code has been removed from sched.c we can now trace
the scheduler. The scheduler has a lot of functions that would be worth
tracing.

We have two markers now that are enabled on sched_switch. One that records
the context switching and the other that records task wake ups. Currently
we enable the tracing first and then set the markers. This causes some
confusing traces:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
trace-cmd-3973 [00] 115.834817: 3973:120:R + 3: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [01] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 6: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [03] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 12: 0:S
trace-cmd-3973 [02] 115.834910: 3973:120:R + 9: 0:S
<idle>-0 [02] 115.834910: 0:140:R ==> 3973:120:R
Here we see that trace-cmd with PID 3973 wakes up task 9 but the next line
shows the idle task doing a context switch to task 3973.
Enabling the tracing to _after_ the markers are set creates a much saner
output:
# tracer: sched_switch
#
# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION
# | | | | |
<idle>-0 [02] 7922.634225: 0:140:R ==> 4790:120:R
trace-cmd-4789 [03] 7922.634225: 0:140:R + 4790:120:R

Some BIOSen enable DIPM via _GTF which causes command timeouts under
certain configuration. This didn't occur on 2.6.25 because 2.6.25
defaulted to SRST, so _GTF wasn't executed during boot probe, so ahci
host reset disabled DIPM and as _GTF wasn't executed after SRST, DIPM
wasn't enabled. On 2.6.26, hardreset is used during probe and after
probe _GTF is executed enabling DIPM and thus the failures.
This patch could theoretically disable DIPM on machines which used to
have it enabled on 2.6.25 but AFAIK ahci is currently the only driver
which uses SATA ACPI hierarchy (_SDD) and as the host reset would have
always disabled DIPM, this shouldn't happen.

Yinghai Lu reported crashes on 64-bit x86:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
IP: [<ffffffff80253b17>] hrtick_start_fair+0x89/0x173
[...]
And with a long session of debugging and a lot of difficulty, tracked it down
to this commit:
--------------->
8fbbc4b45c is first bad commit

Date: Tue Jul 1 11:43:34 2008 -0700
x86: merge tsc_init and clocksource code
<--------------
The problem is that the TSC unification missed these Makefile rules
in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile:
# Do not profile debug and lowlevel utilities
CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_64.o = -pg
CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_32.o = -pg
...
CFLAGS_tsc_64.o := $(nostackp)
...
which rules make sure that various instrumentation and debugging
facilities are disabled for code that might end up in a VDSO - such as
the TSC code.
