Jack Ren and Eric Miao tracked down the following long standing
problem in the NOHZ code:
scheduler switch to idle task
enable interrupts
Window starts here
----> interrupt happens (does not set NEED_RESCHED)
irq_exit() stops the tick
----> interrupt happens (does set NEED_RESCHED)
return from schedule()
cpu_idle(): preempt_disable();
Window ends here
The interrupts can happen at any point inside the race window. The
first interrupt stops the tick, the second one causes the scheduler to
rerun and switch away from idle again and we end up with the tick
disabled.
The fact that it needs two interrupts where the first one does not set
NEED_RESCHED and the second one does made the bug obscure and extremly
hard to reproduce and analyse. Kudos to Jack and Eric.
Solution: Limit the NOHZ functionality to the idle loop to make sure
that we can not run into such a situation ever again.
cpu_idle()
{
preempt_disable();
while(1) {
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick(1); <- tell NOHZ code that we
are in the idle loop
while (!need_resched())
halt();
tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick(); <- disables NOHZ mode
preempt_enable_no_resched();
schedule();
preempt_disable();
}
}
In hindsight we should have done this forever, but ...
/me grabs a large brown paperbag.

dyntick is superseded by the clocksource/clockevent infrastructure,
using the NO_HZ configuration option. No one implements dyntick on
ARM anymore, so it's pointless keeping it around. Remove dyntick

Suppress A.OUT library support if CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT is not set.
Not all architectures support the A.OUT binfmt, so the ELF binfmt should not
be permitted to go looking for A.OUT libraries to load in such a case. Not
only that, but under such conditions A.OUT core dumps are not produced either.
To make this work, this patch also does the following:
(1) Makes the existence of the contents of linux/a.out.h contingent on
CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_AOUT.
(2) Renames dump_thread() to aout_dump_thread() as it's only called by A.OUT
core dumping code.
(3) Moves aout_dump_thread() into asm/a.out-core.h and makes it inline. This
is then included only where needed. This means that this bit of arch
code will be stored in the appropriate A.OUT binfmt module rather than
the core kernel.
(4) Drops A.OUT support for Blackfin (according to Mike Frysinger it's not
needed) and FRV.
This patch depends on the previous patch to move STACK_TOP[_MAX] out of
asm/a.out.h and into asm/processor.h as they're required whether or not A.OUT
format is available.

One of the easiest things to isolate is the pid printed in kernel log.
There was a patch, that made this for arch-independent code, this one makes
so for arch/xxx files.
It took some time to cross-compile it, but hopefully these are all the

The ARM show_regs() tombstone only partially decodes which ARM ISA was
executing at the time a fault occurred displaying either "(T)" for the
Thumb case or nothing at all for other cases. This patch therefore
explicitly identifies which state the processor is in at the time of
a fault: ARM, Thumb, Jazelle or JazelleEE.

Lots of places in arch/arm were needlessly including linux/ptrace.h,
resumably because we used to pass a struct pt_regs to interrupt
handlers. Now that we don't, all these ptrace.h includes are
redundant.

bad_mode() currently prints the mode which caused the exception, and
then causes an oops dump to be printed which again displays this
information (since the CPSR in the struct pt_regs is correct.) This
leads to processor_modes[] being shared between traps.c and process.c
with a local declaration of it.
We can clean this up by moving processor_modes[] to process.c and
removing the duplication, resulting in processor_modes[] becoming
static.

Remove ARM local cache of 4 struct thread_info.
Can cause oops under certain circumstances.
Russell indicated the original optimization was
required on older kernels to avoid thread starvation
on memory fragmentation, but may no longer be
required. I've updated the patch to 19rc4 and
ensured no <config.h> dain-bramage slipped in this
time (sorry about that).
Original description follows:
I was given some test results which pointed to an
Oops in alloc_thread_info (happened 2x), and after
looking at the code, I see that ARM has its own
local cache of 4 struct thread_info. There wasn't
any clear (to me) synchronization between the
alloc_thread_info and the free_thread_info.
I looked over the other arch, and they all simply
allocate them on an as needed basis, so I simplified
the ARM to do the same, based on the other arch
(e.g. PPC) and the folks doing the testing have
indicated that this fixed the oops.

All the current CP15 access codes in ARM arch can be categorized and
conditioned by the defines as follows:
Related operation Safe condition
a. any CP15 access !CPU_CP15
b. alignment trap CPU_CP15_MMU
c. D-cache(C-bit) CPU_CP15
d. I-cache CPU_CP15 && !( CPU_ARM610 || CPU_ARM710 ||
CPU_ARM720 || CPU_ARM740 ||
CPU_XSCALE || CPU_XSC3 )
e. alternate vector CPU_CP15 && !CPU_ARM740
f. TTB CPU_CP15_MMU
g. Domain CPU_CP15_MMU
h. FSR/FAR CPU_CP15_MMU
For example, alternate vector is supported if and only if
"CPU_CP15 && !CPU_ARM740" is satisfied.

Some machine classes need to allow VFP support to be built into the
kernel, but still allow the kernel to run even though VFP isn't
present. Unfortunately, the kernel hard-codes VFP instructions
into the thread switch, which prevents this being run-time selectable.
Solve this by introducing a notifier which things such as VFP can
hook into to be informed of events which affect the VFP subsystem
(eg, creation and destruction of threads, switches between threads.)

Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce
confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of
resched_task and some cpu_idle routines.
* In resched_task:
- TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held,
and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an
atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is
when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is
protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe.
- If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It
won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off.
- If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set
TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required.
- If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set
after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI.
Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in
resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of
POLLING_NRFLAG.
* In idle routines:
- Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition
becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer
(IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet.
- Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According
to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the
assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock
held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching
to the idle thread.
- Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner
most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be
set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into
a halt requiring interrupt wakeup.
Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG
can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling
the idle task.
POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

Run idle threads with preempt disabled.
Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()).
How did it ever work before?
Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted.
We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking
need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined.
After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and
into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing
previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead.
By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is
fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
