2006-11-22WorkStruct: make allyesconfigDavid Howells
Fix up for make allyesconfig. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-11-22WorkStruct: Merge the pending bit into the wq_data pointerDavid Howells
Reclaim a word from the size of the work_struct by folding the pending bit and the wq_data pointer together. This shouldn't cause misalignment problems as all pointers should be at least 4-byte aligned. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-11-22WorkStruct: Typedef the work function prototypeDavid Howells
Define a type for the work function prototype. It's not only kept in the work_struct struct, it's also passed as an argument to several functions. This makes it easier to change it. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-11-22WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events.David Howells
Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and the timer_list removed from work_struct. The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the non-delayable type of event.

2006-11-20Add "pure_initcall" for static variable initializationLinus Torvalds
This is a quick hack to overcome the fact that SRCU currently does not allow static initializers, and we need to sometimes initialize those things before any other initializers (even "core" ones) can do so. Currently we don't allow this at all for modules, and the only user that needs is right now is cpufreq.

2006-11-17Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 37605a6900f6b4d886d995751fcfeef88c4e462c. Again. This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by commit b8d35192c55fb055792ff0641408eaaec7c88988, only to be reverted last time in commit 72945b2b90a5554975b8f72673ab7139d232a121. We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or threads. Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically throttles the events properly. At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal event without this patch reverted.

2006-11-17x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chainLinus Torvalds
When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves back down the stack frame. It must always grow up (toward older stack frames). I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame pointer chain. This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of the other stack unwinding code. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-11-17[PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fixIngo Molnar
The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU! The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8. After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun was found: BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor CPU#1: set_cpus_allowed(), swapper:1, 3 -> 2 [<c0103bbe>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x34/0x4a [<c0103ceb>] show_trace+0x2c/0x2e [<c01045f8>] dump_stack+0x2b/0x2d [<c0116a77>] set_cpus_allowed+0x52/0xec [<c0101d86>] cpu_idle_wait+0x2e/0x100 [<c0259c57>] acpi_processor_power_exit+0x45/0x58 [<c0259752>] acpi_processor_remove+0x46/0xea [<c025c6fb>] acpi_start_single_object+0x47/0x54 [<c025cee5>] acpi_bus_register_driver+0xa4/0xd3 [<c04ab2d7>] acpi_processor_init+0x57/0x77 [<c01004d7>] init+0x146/0x2fd [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never restores it ... and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this bug too.
