Trying to support both the switcher and CPU hotplug at the same time is tricky due to ambiguous semantics. So let's at least prevent users from messing around with those logical CPUs the switcher has removed and those which were not active when the switcher was activated.

Up to now, the logical CPU was somehow tied to the physical CPU number within a cluster. This causes problems when forcing the boot CPU to be different from the first enumerated CPU in the device tree creating a discrepancy between logical and physical CPU numbers. Let's make the pairing completely independent from physical CPU numbers. Let's keep only those logical CPUs with same initial CPU cluster to create a uniform scheduler profile without having to modify any of the probed topology and compute capacity data. This has the potential to create a non contiguous CPU numbering space when the switcher is active with potential impact on buggy user space tools. It is however better to fix those tools rather than making the switcher code more intrusive. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Lorenzo Pieralisi <lorenzo.pieralisi@arm.com>

By adding no_bL_switcher to the kernel cmdline string, the switcher won't be activated automatically at boot time. It is still possible to activate it later with: echo 1 > /sys/kernel/bL_switcher/active Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

Currently, GIC IDs are hardcoded making the code dependent on the 4+4 b.L configuration. Let's allow for GIC IDs to be discovered upon switcher initialization to support other b.L configurations such as the 1+1 one, or 2+3 as on the VExpress TC2. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

In a regular kernel configuration, all the CPUs are initially available. But the switcher execution model uses half of them at any time. Instead of hacking the DTB to remove half of the CPUs, let's remove them at run time and make sure we still have a working switcher configuration. This way, the same DTB can be used whether or not the switcher is used. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

The workqueues are problematic as they may be contended. They can't be scheduled with top priority either. Also the optimization in bL_switch_request() to skip the workqueue entirely when the target CPU and the calling CPU were the same didn't allow for bL_switch_request() to be called from atomic context, as might be the case for some cpufreq drivers. Let's move to dedicated kthreads instead. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

Per-CPU timers that are shutdown when a CPU is switched over must be disabled upon switching and reprogrammed on the inbound CPU by relying on the clock events management API. save/restore sequence is executed with irqs disabled as mandated by the clock events API. The next_event is an absolute time, hence, when the inbound CPU resumes, if the timer has expired the min delta is forced into the tick device to fire after few cycles. This patch adds switching support for clock events that are per-CPU and have to be migrated when a switch takes place; the cpumask of the clock event device is checked against the cpumask of the current cpu, and if they match, the clockevent device mode is saved and it is put in shutdown mode. Resume code reprogrammes the tick device accordingly. Tested on A15/A7 fast models and architected timers.

This is the core code implementing big.LITTLE switcher functionality. Rationale for this code is available here: http://lwn.net/Articles/481055/ The main entry point for a switch request is: void bL_switch_request(unsigned int cpu, unsigned int new_cluster_id) If the calling CPU is not the wanted one, this wrapper takes care of sending the request to the appropriate CPU with schedule_work_on(). At the moment the core switch operation is handled by bL_switch_to() which must be called on the CPU for which a switch is requested. What this code does: * Return early if the current cluster is the wanted one. * Close the gate in the kernel entry vector for both the inbound and outbound CPUs. * Wake up the inbound CPU so it can perform its reset sequence in parallel up to the kernel entry vector gate. * Migrate all interrupts in the GIC targeting the outbound CPU interface to the inbound CPU interface, including SGIs. This is performed by gic_migrate_target() in drivers/irqchip/irq-gic.c. * Call cpu_pm_enter() which takes care of flushing the VFP state to RAM and save the CPU interface config from the GIC to RAM. * Modify the cpu_logical_map to refer to the inbound physical CPU. * Call cpu_suspend() which saves the CPU state (general purpose registers, page table address) onto the stack and store the resulting stack pointer in an array indexed by the updated cpu_logical_map, then call the provided shutdown function. This happens in arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S. At this point, the provided shutdown function executed by the outbound CPU ungates the inbound CPU. Therefore the inbound CPU: * Picks up the saved stack pointer in the array indexed by its MPIDR in arch/arm/kernel/sleep.S. * The MMU and caches are re-enabled using the saved state on the provided stack, just like if this was a resume operation from a suspended state. * Then cpu_suspend() returns, although this is on the inbound CPU rather than the outbound CPU which called it initially. * The function cpu_pm_exit() is called which effect is to restore the CPU interface state in the GIC using the state previously saved by the outbound CPU. * Exit of bL_switch_to() to resume normal kernel execution on the new CPU. However, the outbound CPU is potentially still running in parallel while the inbound CPU is resuming normal kernel execution, hence we need per CPU stack isolation to execute bL_do_switch(). After the outbound CPU has ungated the inbound CPU, it calls mcpm_cpu_power_down() to: * Clean its L1 cache. * If it is the last CPU still alive in its cluster (last man standing), it also cleans its L2 cache and disables cache snooping from the other cluster. * Power down the CPU (or whole cluster). Code called from bL_do_switch() might end up referencing 'current' for some reasons. However, 'current' is derived from the stack pointer. With any arbitrary stack, the returned value for 'current' and any dereferenced values through it are just random garbage which may lead to segmentation faults. The active page table during the execution of bL_do_switch() is also a problem. There is no guarantee that the inbound CPU won't destroy the corresponding task which would free the attached page table while the outbound CPU is still running and relying on it. To solve both issues, we borrow some of the task space belonging to the init/idle task which, by its nature, is lightly used and therefore is unlikely to clash with our usage. The init task is also never going away. Right now the logical CPU number is assumed to be equivalent to the physical CPU number within each cluster. The kernel should also be booted with only one cluster active. These limitations will be lifted eventually. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

This is required by the big.LITTLE switcher code. The gic_migrate_target() changes the CPU interface mapping for the current CPU to redirect SGIs to the specified interface, and it also updates the target CPU for each interrupts to that CPU interface if they were targeting the current interface. Finally, pending SGIs for the current CPU are forwarded to the new interface. Because Linux does not use it, the SGI source information for the forwarded SGIs is not preserved. Neither is the source information for the SGIs sent by the current CPU to other CPUs adjusted to match the new CPU interface mapping. The required registers are banked so only the target CPU could do it. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>

Currently we hash the MPIDR of the CPU being suspended to determine which entry in the sleep_save_sp array to use. In some situations, such as when we want to resume on another physical CPU, the MPIDR of another CPU should be used instead. So let's use the value of cpu_logical_map(smp_processor_id()) in place of the MPIDR in the suspend path. This will result in the same index being used as with the previous code unless the caller has modified cpu_logical_map() beforehand with the MPIDR of the physical CPU the suspending logical CPU will resume on. Consequently, if doing a physical CPU migration, cpu_logical_map() must be updated appropriately somewhere between cpu_pm_enter() and cpu_suspend(). The register allocation in __cpu_suspend is reworked in order to better accommodate the additional argument.

The other two patches are the big ugly ones that redo how the driver allocates objects and reserves them and makes things all work properly, I've tested this in a VM, and compared to the current code which hits a lockdep warning and the sleep while atomic warning before failing.

We attempted to address a regression introduced by commit a57f7f91 (ACPICA: Add Windows8/Server2012 string for _OSI method.) after which ACPI video backlight support doesn't work on a number of systems, because the relevant AML methods in the ACPI tables in their BIOSes become useless after the BIOS has been told that the OS is compatible with Windows 8. That problem is tracked by the bug entry at: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231 Commit 8c5bd7ad (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915. Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as expected. For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7ad, but leave the function acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another commit on top of it uses that function.

Commit a8227415 "tracing: Protect ftrace_trace_arrays list in trace_events.c" added taking the trace_types_lock mutex in trace_events.c as there were several locations that needed it for protection. Unfortunately, it also encapsulated a call to tracing_reset_all_online_cpus() which also takes the trace_types_lock, causing a deadlock. This happens when a module has tracepoints and has been traced. When the module is removed, the trace events module notifier will grab the trace_types_lock, do a bunch of clean ups, and also clears the buffer by calling tracing_reset_all_online_cpus. This doesn't happen often which explains why it wasn't caught right away. Commit a8227415 was marked for stable, which means this must be sent to stable too.

Merge tag 'drm-intel-fixes-2013-07-25' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel into drm-fixes Brown-paper-bag pull request here. The snb rc6 fix from the last pull broke forcewake BIOS dirt cleanup, which with fixed. But that fix broke the spinlock init sequence, which results in an ugly BUG when spinlock debugging is enabled :( So I get to throw another patch at cc: stable to fix up the mess ... * tag 'drm-intel-fixes-2013-07-25' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel: drm/i915: initialize gt_lock early with other spin locks drm/i915: fix hdmi portclock limits

The device-tree enablement for max8925 has several problems, but besides the bindings being wrong (and not having seen review) there's also some bad coding practices on how to fill in the platform_data from device tree. I came across this since it causes a warning when compiling mmp2_defconfig, and instead of doing the minimal fix to silence the warning, I restructured the code a bit. This silences the warning: drivers/video/backlight/max8925_bl.c: In function 'max8925_backlight_probe': drivers/video/backlight/max8925_bl.c:177:3: warning: statement with no effect [-Wunused-value] Note that the bindings themselves need to be revisited too, but that will affect more than just the backlight driver and is best done separately; this just fixes the bad code for the backlight driver.

Need to use the driver state rather than the register state since the displays may not be enabled when the power state is programmed. Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
