2009-05-20MIPS: 64-bit: Fix system lockup.Greg Ungerer
The address range size calculation inside local_flush_tlb_kernel_range() is being truncated by a too small size variable holder on 64-bit systems. The truncated size can result in an erroneous tlbsize check that means we sit spinning inside a loop trying to flush a hige number of TLB entries. This is for all intents and purposes a system hang. Fix by using an appropriately sized valiable to hold the size. [Ralf: Greg's original patch submission identified the issue and fixed one instance in tlb-r4k.c but there there were several more. For consistency I also modified tlb-r3k.c even though that file is only used on 32-bit.] Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer <gerg@snapgear.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

2009-05-18[ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected ↵Mel Gorman
holes V2 pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole. In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the entire section. However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid() returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of the full memmap are extremely rare. This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory consumption offsetting the gains. This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within() for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is invalid for that PFN. Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes. The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had to be flagged as an "early clobber". I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

Fix the clkdev API support for the ep93xx uart clocks. The uarts available in the ep93xx have individual clock controls. The current implementation assumes that the bootloader has enabled the clocks before the kernel has booted. It also assumes that the bootloader has set the UARTBAUD bit indicating that the uarts are running off the 14.7456MHz external crystal. This fixes both issues. It also allows the uart clocks to be stopped when there are no users.

2009-05-16ARM: OMAP3: Fix HW SAVEANDRESTORE shift defineKalle Jokiniemi
The OMAP3430ES2_SAVEANDRESTORE_SHIFT macro is used by powerdomain code in "1 << OMAP3430ES2_SAVEANDRESTORE_SHIFT" manner, but the definition was also (1 << 4), meaning we actually modified bit 16. So the definition needs to be 4. This fixes also a cold reset HW bug in OMAP3430 ES3.x where some of the efuse bits are not isolated during wake-up from off mode. This can cause randomish cold resets with off mode. Enabling the USBTLL hardware SAVEANDRESTORE causes the core power up assert to be delayed in a way that we will not get faulty values when boot ROM is reading the unisolated registers.

2009-05-15x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernelsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native. It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized spinlocks introduced by: | commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8 | Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700 | | paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7% (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions executed). If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown). Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a no-pvops build as baseline: nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18% instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15% CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03% cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28% cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56% cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31% branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04% branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72% branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67% wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20% The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is directly reflected in the final wallclock time. (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside, the branch misses go up correspondingly...) So, what's the fix? Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30 <_spin_lock+22>: retq The indirect call will get patched to: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock> <_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */ <_spin_lock+22>: retq One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial. The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user). But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a reasonable short-term workaround.

2009-05-15[ARM] S3C: Do not set clk->owner field if unsetBen Dooks
The s3c24xx_register_clock() function has been doing a test on clk->owner to see if it is NULL, and then setting itself as the owner if clk->owner == NULL. This is not needed, arch/arm/plat-s3c/clock.c cannot be compiled as a module, and even if it was, it should not be playing with this field if it being registered from somewhere else. The best course of action is to remove this bit of code completely. Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>
2009-05-15[ARM] S3C2410: mach-bast.c registering i2c data too earlyBen Dooks
The BAST support code is calling s3c_i2c0_set_platdata() from the map_io() entry, instead of the bast_init() code. This causes the registration to fail due to kmalloc() not being available at the time.
