      add myself as reviewer for Xen support in Linux · 769d6bfc
      Stefano Stabellini authored
      It would be good for me to keep an eye on the patches that touch Xen
      support in Linux to try to spot changes that break Xen on ARM early on.

      xen: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig · f1db0050
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
      'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
      setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.
      
      Also since commit f467c564 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
      is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
      regardless of 'default n' being present or not:
      
          ...
          One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
          the following two definitions behave exactly the same:
      
              config FOO
                      bool
      
              config FOO
                      bool
                      default n
      
          With this change, neither of these will generate a
          '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
          That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
          redundant.
          ...

      xen/pvh: increase early stack size · 7deecbda
      Roger Pau Monne authored
      While booting on an AMD EPYC box the stack canary would detect stack
      overflows when using the current PVH early stack size (256). Switch to
      using the value defined by BOOT_STACK_SIZE, which prevents the stack
      overflow.

      xen: make xen_qlock_wait() nestable · a8565319
      Juergen Gross authored
      xen_qlock_wait() isn't safe for nested calls due to interrupts. A call
      of xen_qlock_kick() might be ignored in case a deeper nesting level
      was active right before the call of xen_poll_irq():
      
      CPU 1:                                   CPU 2:
      spin_lock(lock1)
                                               spin_lock(lock1)

                                                  -> xen_clear_irq_pending()
                                                     clears kick for lock1
                                                  -> xen_poll_irq()
      spin_unlock_irq_restore(lock2)
      -> xen_qlock_kick(CPU 2)
                                                  wakes up
                                               spin_unlock_irq_restore(lock2)
                                               IRET
                                                 resumes in xen_qlock_wait()
                                                 -> xen_poll_irq()
                                                 never wakes up
      
      The solution is to disable interrupts in xen_qlock_wait() and not to
      poll for the irq in case xen_qlock_wait() is called in nmi context.

      xen: fix race in xen_qlock_wait() · 2ac2a7d4
      Juergen Gross authored
      In the following situation a vcpu waiting for a lock might not be
      woken up from xen_poll_irq():
      
      CPU 1:                CPU 2:                      CPU 3:
      takes a spinlock
                            tries to get lock
                            -> xen_qlock_wait()
      frees the lock
      -> xen_qlock_kick(cpu2)
                              -> xen_clear_irq_pending()
      
      takes lock again
                                                        tries to get lock
                                                        -> *lock = _Q_SLOW_VAL
                              -> *lock == _Q_SLOW_VAL ?
                              -> xen_poll_irq()
      frees the lock
      -> xen_qlock_kick(cpu3)
      
      And cpu 2 will sleep forever.
      
      This can be avoided easily by modifying xen_qlock_wait() to call
      xen_poll_irq() only if the related irq was not pending and to call
      xen_clear_irq_pending() only if it was pending.

      xen: Make XEN_BACKEND selectable by DomU · ea9e57d0
      Jason Andryuk authored
      XEN_BACKEND doesn't actually depend on XEN_DOM0.  DomUs can serve
      backends to other DomUs.  One example is a service VM providing network
      backends.
      
      The original Kconfig defaulted Dom0 to y and it could be disabled.  DomU
      could not select the option.  With the new Kconfig, we default y for
      Dom0 and n for DomU.  Either can then toggle the selection.

      net/kconfig: Make QCOM_QMI_HELPERS available when COMPILE_TEST · a978a5b8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The networking merge brought in the experimental support for the
      Qualcomm ath10k system NOC, which selects QCOM_QMI_HELPERS as a
      dependency.
      
      But the ATH10K_SNOC option (which selects QCOM_QMI_HELPERS) depends on
      ARCH_QCOM || COMPILE_TEST in order to get wider build testing than just
      the unusual QCOM architecture build, while the QCOM_QMI_HELPERS option
      doesn't have that COMPILE_TEST option and is limited to only ARCH_QCOM.
      
      As a result, a "make allmodconfig" complains
      
        WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for QCOM_QMI_HELPERS
          Depends on [n]: ARCH_QCOM && NET [=y]
          Selected by [m]:
          - ATH10K_SNOC [=m] && NETDEVICES [=y] && WLAN [=y] && WLAN_VENDOR_ATH [=y] && ATH10K [=m] && (ARCH_QCOM || COMPILE_TEST [=y])
      
      Fix the config-time warning by making QCOM_QMI_HELPERS available when
      COMPILE_TEST, since the result seems to build fine.

      tcp: add tcp_reset_xmit_timer() helper · 3f80e08f
      Eric Dumazet authored
      With EDT model, SRTT no longer is inflated by pacing delays.
      
      This means that RTO and some other xmit timers might be setup
      incorrectly. This is particularly visible with either :
      
      - Very small enforced pacing rates (SO_MAX_PACING_RATE)
      - Reduced rto (from the default 200 ms)
      
      This can lead to TCP flows aborts in the worst case,
      or spurious retransmits in other cases.
      
      For example, this session gets far more throughput
      than the requested 80kbit :
      
      $ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000
      MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET
      Recv   Send    Send
      Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
      Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
      bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec
      
      540000 262144 262144    104.00      2.66
      
      With the fix :
      
      $ netperf -H 127.0.0.2 -l 100 -- -q 10000
      MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 127.0.0.2 () port 0 AF_INET
      Recv   Send    Send
      Socket Socket  Message  Elapsed
      Size   Size    Size     Time     Throughput
      bytes  bytes   bytes    secs.    10^6bits/sec
      
      540000 262144 262144    104.00      0.12
      
      EDT allows for better control of rtx timers, since TCP has
      a better idea of the earliest departure time of each skb
      in the rtx queue. We only have to eventually add to the
      timer the difference of the EDT time with current time.

      Karsten Graul authored
      This reverts commit dd979b4d.
      
      This broke tcp_poll for SMC fallback: An AF_SMC socket establishes an
      internal TCP socket for the initial handshake with the remote peer.
      Whenever the SMC connection can not be established this TCP socket is
      used as a fallback. All socket operations on the SMC socket are then
      forwarded to the TCP socket. In case of poll, the file->private_data
      pointer references the SMC socket because the TCP socket has no file
      assigned. This causes tcp_poll to wait on the wrong socket.

      net: socionext: Add dummy PHY register read in phy_write() · a3241a91
      Masahisa Kojima authored
      There is a compatibility issue between RTL8211E implemented
      in Developerbox and netsec ethernet controller IP.
      
      Our MDIO controller stops MDC clock right after the write
      access, but RTL8211E expects MDC clock must be kept toggling
      for several clock cycle with MDIO high before entering
      the IDLE state. Without keeping clock after write access,
      write access is not correctly handled and register is not
      updated.
      
      To meet this requirement, netsec driver needs to issue dummy
      read(e.g. read PHYID1(offset 0x2) register) right after write
      access, to keep MDC clock.
      
      We think this compatibility issue is a problem specific to
      our MDIO controller and RTL8211E.

      net: socionext: Stop PHY before resetting netsec · 8e850f25
      Masahisa Kojima authored
      In ndo_stop, driver resets the netsec ethernet controller IP.
      When the netsec IP is reset, HW running mode turns to NRM mode
      and driver has to wait until this mode transition completes.
      
      But mode transition to NRM will not complete if the PHY is
      in normal operation state. Netsec IP requires PHY is in
      power down state when it is reset.
      
      This modification stops the PHY before resetting netsec.
      
      Together with this modification, phy_addr is stored in netsec_priv
      structure because ndev->phydev is not yet ready in ndo_init.

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull RCU updates from Ingo Molnar:
       "The biggest change in this cycle is the conclusion of the big
        'simplify RCU to two primary flavors' consolidation work - i.e.
        there's a single RCU flavor for any kernel variant (PREEMPT and
        !PREEMPT):
      
          - Consolidate the RCU-bh, RCU-preempt, and RCU-sched flavors into a
            single flavor similar to RCU-sched in !PREEMPT kernels and into a
            single flavor similar to RCU-preempt (but also waiting on
            preempt-disabled sequences of code) in PREEMPT kernels.
      
            This branch also includes a refactoring of
            rcu_{nmi,irq}_{enter,exit}() from Byungchul Park.
      
          - Now that there is only one RCU flavor in any given running kernel,
            the many "rsp" pointers are no longer required, and this cleanup
            series removes them.
      
          - This branch carries out additional cleanups made possible by the
            RCU flavor consolidation, including inlining now-trivial
            functions, updating comments and definitions, and removing
            now-unneeded rcutorture scenarios.
      
          - Now that there is only one flavor of RCU in any running kernel,
            there is also only on rcu_data structure per CPU. This means that
            the rcu_dynticks structure can be merged into the rcu_data
            structure, a task taken on by this branch. This branch also
            contains a -rt-related fix from Mike Galbraith.
      
        There were also other updates:
      
          - Documentation updates, including some good-eye catches from Joel
            Fernandes.
      
          - SRCU updates, most notably changes enabling call_srcu() to be
            invoked very early in the boot sequence.
      
          - Torture-test updates, including some preliminary work towards
            making rcutorture better able to find problems that result in
            insufficient grace-period forward progress.
      
          - Initial changes to RCU to better promote forward progress of grace
            periods, including fixing a bug found by Marius Hillenbrand and
            David Woodhouse, with the fix suggested by Peter Zijlstra"
