The can_stop_idle_tick() function complains if a softirq vector is raised too late in the idle-entry process, presumably in order to prevent dangling softirq invocations from being delayed across the full idle period, which might be indefinitely long -- and if softirq was asserted any later than the call to this function, such a delay might well happen. However, RCU needs to be able to use softirq to stop idle entry in order to be able to drain RCU callbacks from the current CPU, which in turn enables faster entry into dyntick-idle mode, which in turn reduces power consumption. Because RCU takes this action at a well-defined point in the idle-entry path, it is safe for RCU to take this approach. This commit therefore silences the error message that is sometimes produced when the going-idle CPU suddenly finds that it has an RCU_SOFTIRQ to process. The error message will continue to be issued for other softirq vectors. Reported-by: Sedat Dilek <sedat.dilek@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The use of raw_local_irq_save() is unnecessary, given that local_irq_save() really does disable interrupts. Also, it appears to interfere with lockdep.

The first memory barrier in __call_rcu() is supposed to order any updates done beforehand by the caller against the actual queuing of the callback. However, the second memory barrier (which is intended to order incrementing the queue lengths before queuing the callback) is also between the caller's updates and the queuing of the callback. The second memory barrier can therefore serve both purposes. This commit therefore removes the first memory barrier. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

If a given CPU avoids the idle loop but also avoids starting a new RCU grace period for a full minute, RCU can issue spurious RCU CPU stall warnings.

The print_other_cpu_stall() function accesses a number of rcu_node fields without protection from the ->lock. In theory, this is not a problem because the fields accessed are all integers, but in practice the compiler can get nasty. Therefore, the commit extends the existing critical section to cover the entire loop body. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_print_detail_task_stall_rnp() function invokes rcu_preempt_blocked_readers_cgp() to verify that there are some preempted RCU readers blocking the current grace period outside of the protection of the rcu_node structure's ->lock. This means that the last blocked reader might exit its RCU read-side critical section and remove itself from the ->blkd_tasks list before the ->lock is acquired, resulting in a segmentation fault when the subsequent code attempts to dereference the now-NULL gp_tasks pointer. This commit therefore moves the test under the lock. This will not have measurable effect on lock contention because this code is invoked only when printing RCU CPU stall warnings, in other words, in the common case, never. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

The increment_cpu_stall_ticks() function listed each RCU flavor explicitly, with an ifdef to handle preemptible RCU. This commit therefore applies for_each_rcu_flavor() to save a line of code. Because this commit switches from a code-based enumeration of the flavors of RCU to an rcu_state-list-based enumeration, it is no longer possible to apply __get_cpu_var() to the per-CPU rcu_data structures. We instead use __this_cpu_var() on the rcu_state structure's ->rda field that references the corresponding rcu_data structures. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The rcu_implicit_offline_qs() function implicitly assumed that execution would progress predictably when interrupts are disabled, which is of course not guaranteed when running on a hypervisor. Furthermore, this function is short, and is called from one place only in a short function. This commit therefore ensures that the timing is checked before checking the condition, which guarantees correct behavior even given indefinite delays. It also inlines rcu_implicit_offline_qs() into rcu_implicit_dynticks_qs(). Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paul.mckenney@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Paul E. McKenney authored
The rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() moves all tasks queued on a given leaf rcu_node structure to the root rcu_node, which is done when the last CPU corresponding the the leaf rcu_node structure goes offline. Now that RCU-preempt's synchronize_rcu_expedited() implementation blocks CPU-hotplug operations during the initialization of each rcu_node structure's ->boost_tasks pointer, rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() can do a better job of setting the root rcu_node's ->boost_tasks pointer. The key point is that rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() runs as part of the CPU-hotplug process, so that a concurrent synchronize_rcu_expedited() is guaranteed to either have not started on the one hand (in which case there is no boosting on behalf of the expedited grace period) or to be completely initialized on the other (in which case, in the absence of other priority boosting, all ->boost_tasks pointers will be initialized). Therefore, if rcu_preempt_offline_tasks() finds that the ->boost_tasks pointer is equal to the ->exp_tasks pointer, it can be sure that it is correctly placed. In the case where there was boosting ongoing at the time that the synchronize_rcu_expedited() function started, different nodes might start boosting the tasks blocking the expedited grace period at different times. In this mixed case, the root node will either be boosting tasks for the expedited grace period already, or it will start as soon as it gets done boosting for the normal grace period -- but in this latter case, the root node's tasks needed to be boosted in any case. This commit therefore adds a check of the ->boost_tasks pointer against the ->exp_tasks pointer to the list that prevents updating ->boost_tasks. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Paul E. McKenney authored
There is a need to use RCU from interrupt context, but either before rcu_irq_enter() is called or after rcu_irq_exit() is called. If the interrupt occurs from idle, then lockdep-RCU will complain about such uses, as they appear to be illegal uses of RCU from the idle loop. In other environments, RCU_NONIDLE() could be used to properly protect the use of RCU, but RCU_NONIDLE() currently cannot be invoked except from process context. This commit therefore modifies RCU_NONIDLE() to permit its use more globally. Reported-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.

Because TINY_RCU's idle detection keys directly off of the nesting level, rather than from a separate variable as in TREE_RCU, the TINY_RCU dyntick-idle tracing on transition to idle must happen before the change to the nesting level. This commit therefore makes this change by passing the desired new value (rather than the old value) of the nesting level in to rcu_idle_enter_common().

There have been some recent bugs that were triggered only when preemptible RCU's __rcu_read_unlock() was preempted just after setting ->rcu_read_lock_nesting to INT_MIN, which is a low-probability event. Therefore, reproducing those bugs (to say nothing of gaining confidence in alleged fixes) was quite difficult. This commit therefore creates a new debug-only RCU kernel config option that forces a short delay in __rcu_read_unlock() to increase the probability of those sorts of bugs occurring.

Paul E. McKenney authored
Each grace period is supposed to have at least one callback waiting for that grace period to complete. However, if CONFIG_NO_HZ=n, an extra callback-free grace period is no big problem -- it will chew up a tiny bit of CPU time, but it will complete normally. In contrast, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y kernels have the potential for all the CPUs to go to sleep indefinitely, in turn indefinitely delaying completion of the callback-free grace period. Given that nothing is waiting on this grace period, this is also not a problem. That is, unless RCU CPU stall warnings are also enabled, as they are in recent kernels. In this case, if a CPU wakes up after at least one minute of inactivity, an RCU CPU stall warning will result. The reason that no one noticed until quite recently is that most systems have enough OS noise that they will never remain absolutely idle for a full minute. But there are some embedded systems with cut-down userspace configurations that consistently get into this situation. All this begs the question of exactly how a callback-free grace period gets started in the first place. This can happen due to the fact that CPUs do not necessarily agree on which grace period is in progress. If a CPU still believes that the grace period that just completed is still ongoing, it will believe that it has callbacks that need to wait for another grace period, never mind the fact that the grace period that they were waiting for just completed. This CPU can therefore erroneously decide to start a new grace period. Note that this can happen in TREE_RCU and TREE_PREEMPT_RCU even on a single-CPU system: Deadlock considerations mean that the CPU that detected the end of the grace period is not necessarily officially informed of this fact for some time. Once this CPU notices that the earlier grace period completed, it will invoke its callbacks. It then won't have any callbacks left. If no other CPU has any callbacks, we now have a callback-free grace period. This commit therefore makes CPUs check more carefully before starting a new grace period. This new check relies on an array of tail pointers into each CPU's list of callbacks. If the CPU is up to date on which grace periods have completed, it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment, otherwise it checks to see if any callbacks follow the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment. The reason that this works is that the RCU_WAIT_TAIL segment will be promoted to the RCU_DONE_TAIL segment as soon as the CPU is officially notified that the old grace period has ended. This change is to cpu_needs_another_gp(), which is called in a number of places. The only one that really matters is in rcu_start_gp(), where the root rcu_node structure's ->lock is held, which prevents any other CPU from starting or completing a grace period, so that the comparison that determines whether the CPU is missing the completion of a grace period is stable.

Tracepoints declare a static inline trace_*_rcuidle variant of the trace function, to support safely generating trace events from the idle loop. Module code never actually uses that variant of trace functions, because modules don't run code that needs tracing with RCU idled. However, the declaration of those otherwise unused functions causes the module to reference rcu_idle_exit and rcu_idle_enter, which RCU does not export to modules. To avoid this, don't generate trace_*_rcuidle functions for tracepoints declared in module code.

Commit 644595f8 ("compat: Handle COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME in net/socket.c") introduced a bug where the helper functions to take either a 64-bit or compat time[spec|val] got the arguments in the wrong order, passing the kernel stack pointer off as a user pointer (and vice versa). Because of the user address range check, that in turn then causes an EFAULT due to the user pointer range checking failing for the kernel address. Incorrectly resuling in a failed system call for 32-bit processes with a 64-bit kernel. On odder architectures like HP-PA (with separate user/kernel address spaces), it can be used read kernel memory.

When running 32-bit pvops-dom0 and a driver tries to allocate a coherent DMA-memory the xen swiotlb-implementation returned memory beyond 4GB. The underlaying reason is that if the supplied driver passes in a DMA_BIT_MASK(64) ( hwdev->coherent_dma_mask is set to 0xffffffffffffffff) our dma_mask will be u64 set to 0xffffffffffffffff even if we set it to DMA_BIT_MASK(32) previously. Meaning we do not reset the upper bits. By using the dma_alloc_coherent_mask function - it does the proper casting and we get 0xfffffffff. This caused not working sound on a system with 4 GB and a 64-bit compatible sound-card with sets the DMA-mask to 64bit. On bare-metal and the forward-ported xen-dom0 patches from OpenSuse a coherent DMA-memory is always allocated inside the 32-bit address-range by calling dma_alloc_coherent_mask. This patch adds the same functionality to xen swiotlb and is a rebase of the original patch from Ronny Hegewald which never got upstream b/c the underlaying reason was not understood until now. The original email with the original patch is in: http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-02/msg00038.html the original thread from where the discussion started is in: http://old-list-archives.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-01/msg00928.htmlSigned-off-by: Ronny Hegewald <ronny.hegewald@online.de> Signed-off-by: Stefano Panella <stefano.panella@citrix.com> Acked-By: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> CC: stable@vger.kernel.org

While TLB_FLUSH_ALL gets passed as 'end' argument to flush_tlb_others(), the Xen code was made to check its 'start' parameter. That may give a incorrect op.cmd to MMUEXT_INVLPG_MULTI instead of MMUEXT_TLB_FLUSH_MULTI. Then it causes some page can not be flushed from TLB. This patch fixed this issue.
