We want to keep this driver as the default provider of the clock events and source, yet some other driver might fit in the "desired" category of ratings. Hence, we need to increase a bit the rating so that we can have more flexibility in the ratings we choose.

The clock event structure irq field was not filled previously to the interrupt we're using. This was resulting in the timer not being used at all when using a configuration with SMP enabled on a system with several CPUs, and with the cpumask set to the cpu_possible_mask.

Merge branch 'timers/posix-timers-for-tip-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks into timers/core Pull posix cpu timer changes for v3.14 from Frederic Weisbecker: * Remove dying thread/process timers caching that was complicating the code for no significant win. * Remove early task reference release on dying timer sample read. Again it was not worth the code complication. The other timer's resources aren't released until timer_delete() is called anyway (or when the whole process dies). * Remove leftover arguments in reaped target cleanup * Consolidate some timer sampling code * Remove use of tasklist lock * Robustify sighand locking against exec and exit by using the safer lock_task_sighand() API instead of sighand raw locking. * Convert some unnecessary BUG_ON() to WARN_ON() Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

The remaining uses of tasklist_lock were mostly about synchronizing against sighand modifications, getting coherent and safe group samples and also thread/process wide timers list handling. All of this is already safely synchronizable with the target's sighand lock. Let's use it on these places instead. Also update the comments about locking.

Timer deletion doesn't need the tasklist lock. We need to protect against: * concurrent access to the lists p->cputime_expires and p->sighand->cputime_expires * task reaping that may also delete the timer list entry * timer firing We already hold the timer lock which protects us against concurrent timer firing. The rest only need the targets sighand to be locked. So hold it and drop the use of tasklist_lock there.

There is no need for the tasklist_lock just to take a process wide clock sample. All we need is to get a coherent sample that doesn't race with exit() and exec(): * exit() may be concurrently reaping a task and flushing its time * sighand is unstable under exit() and exec(), and the latter also result in group leader that can change To protect against these, locking the target's sighand is enough.

Consolidate the clock sampling common code used for both local and remote targets. Note that this introduces a tiny user ABI change: if a PID is passed to clock_gettime() along the clockid, we used to forbid a process wide clock sample when that PID doesn't belong to a group leader. Now after this patch we allow process wide clock samples if that PID belongs to the current task, even if the current task is not the group leader. But local process wide clock samples are allowed if PID == 0 (current task) even if the current task is not the group leader. So in the end this should be no big deal as this actually harmonize the behaviour when the remote sample is actually a local one.

When a timer's target is seen to be buried, for example on calls to timer_gettime(), the posix cpu timers code behaves a bit like a garbage collector and releases early the reference to the task. Then again, this optimization complicates the code for no much value: it's up to the user to release the timer and its associated ressources by calling timer_delete() after it buries the target tasks. Remove this to simplify the code.

Now that we removed dead thread posix cpu timers caching, lets remove the dead process wide version. This caching is similar to the per thread version but it should be even more rare: * If the process id dead, we are not reading its timers status from a thread belonging to its group since they are all dead. So this caching only concern remote process timers reads. Now posix cpu timers using itimers or timer_settime() can't do remote process timers anyway so it's not even clear if there is actually a user for this caching. * Unlike per thread timers caching, this only applies to zombies targets. Buried targets' process wide timers return 0 values. But then again, timer_gettime() can't read remote process timers, so if the process is dead, there can't be any reader left anyway. Then again this caching seem to complicate the code for corner cases that are probably not worth it. So lets get rid of it. Also remove the sample snapshot on dying process timer that is now useless, as suggested by Kosaki.

When a task is exiting or has exited, its posix cpu timers don't tick anymore and won't elapse further. It's too late for them to expire. So any further call to timer_gettime() on these timers will return the same remaining expiry time. The current code optimize this by caching the remaining delta and storing it where we use to save the absolute expiration time. This way, the future calls to timer_gettime() won't need to compute the difference between the absolute expiration time and the current time anymore. Now this optimization doesn't seem to bring much value. Computing the timer remaining delta is not very costly. Fetching the timer value OTOH can be costly in two ways: * CPUCLOCK_SCHED read requires to lock the target's rq. But some optimizations are on the way to make task_sched_runtime() not holding the rq lock of a non-running target. * CPUCLOCK_VIRT/CPUCLOCK_PROF read simply consist in fetching current->utime/current->stime except when the system uses full dynticks cputime accounting. The latter requires a per task lock in order to correctly compute user and system time. But once the target is dead, this lock shouldn't be contended anyway. All in one this caching doesn't seem to be justified. Given that it complicates the code significantly for few wins, let's remove it on single thread timers.

In commit 7314e613 ("Fix a few incorrectly checked [io_]remap_pfn_range() calls") the uio driver started more properly checking the passed-in user mapping arguments against the size of the actual uio driver data. That in turn exposed that some driver authors apparently didn't realize that mmap can only work on a page granularity, and had tried to use it with smaller mappings, with the new size check catching that out. So since it's not just the user mmap() arguments that can be confused, make the uio mmap code also verify that the uio driver has the memory allocated at page boundaries in order for mmap to work. If the device memory isn't properly aligned, we return [ENODEV] The fildes argument refers to a file whose type is not supported by mmap(). as per the open group documentation on mmap.

A posix CPU timer can be rearmed while it is firing or after it is notified with a signal. This can happen for example with timers that were set with a non zero interval in timer_settime(). This rearming can happen in two places: 1) On timer firing time, which happens on the target's tick. If the timer can't trigger a signal because it is ignored, it reschedules itself to honour the timer interval. 2) On signal handling from the timer's notification target. This one can be a different task than the timer's target itself. Once the signal is notified, the notification target rearms the timer, again to honour the timer interval. When a timer is rearmed, we need to notify the full dynticks CPUs such that they restart their tick in case they are running tasks that may have a share in elapsing this timer. Now the 1st case above handles full dynticks CPUs with a call to posix_cpu_timer_kick_nohz() from the posix cpu timer firing code. But the second case ignores the fact that some CPUs may run non-idle tasks with their tick off. As a result, when a timer is resheduled after its signal notification, the full dynticks CPUs may completely ignore it and not tick on the timer as expected This patch fixes this bug by handling both cases in one. All we need is to move the kick to the rearming common code in posix_cpu_timer_schedule().

After a posix cpu timer is set, a workqueue is scheduled in order to kick the full dynticks CPUs and let them restart their tick if necessary in case the task they are running is concerned by the new timer. This kick is implemented by way of IPIs, which require interrupts to be enabled, hence the need for a workqueue to raise them because the posix cpu timer set path has interrupts disabled. Now if there is no full dynticks CPU on the system, the workqueue is still scheduled but it simply won't send any IPI and return immediately. So lets spare that worqueue when it is not needed.

The pipe code was trying (and failing) to be very careful about freeing the pipe info only after the last access, with a pattern like: spin_lock(&inode->i_lock); if (!--pipe->files) { inode->i_pipe = NULL; kill = 1; } spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock); __pipe_unlock(pipe); if (kill) free_pipe_info(pipe); where the final freeing is done last. HOWEVER. The above is actually broken, because while the freeing is done at the end, if we have two racing processes releasing the pipe inode info, the one that *doesn't* free it will decrement the ->files count, and unlock the inode i_lock, but then still use the "pipe_inode_info" afterwards when it does the "__pipe_unlock(pipe)". This is *very* hard to trigger in practice, since the race window is very small, and adding debug options seems to just hide it by slowing things down. Simon originally reported this way back in July as an Oops in kmem_cache_allocate due to a single bit corruption (due to the final "spin_unlock(pipe->mutex.wait_lock)" incrementing a field in a different allocation that had re-used the free'd pipe-info), it's taken this long to figure out. Since the 'pipe->files' accesses aren't even protected by the pipe lock (we very much use the inode lock for that), the simple solution is to just drop the pipe lock early. And since there were two users of this pattern, create a helper function for it. Introduced commit ba5bb147 ("pipe: take allocation and freeing of pipe_inode_info out of ->i_mutex").

Dave Martin spotted that the kexec trampoline wasn't being correctly copied (in a way which allows Thumb-2 to work). I've also fixed a number of breakages on footbridge platforms as I've upgraded one of my machines to v3.12... one which had a 1200 day uptime" * 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: ARM: 7907/1: lib: delay-loop: Add align directive to fix BogoMIPS calculation ARM: 7897/1: kexec: Use the right ISA for relocate_new_kernel ARM: 7895/1: signal: fix armv7-m build issue in sigreturn_codes.S ARM: footbridge: fix EBSA285 LEDs ARM: footbridge: fix VGA initialisation ARM: fix booting low-vectors machines ARM: dma-mapping: check DMA mask against available memory

On UML SUBARCH can be x86, x86_64 and i386 and if it is x86 we use uname -m to select a defconfig. Therefore we can no longer use -mcmodel=large only if SUBARCH is x86_64. Reported-and-tested-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

Currently mx53 (CortexA8) running at 1GHz reports: Calibrating delay loop... 663.55 BogoMIPS (lpj=3317760) Tom Evans verified that alignments of 0x0 and 0x8 run the two instructions of __loop_delay in one clock cycle (1 clock/loop), while alignments of 0x4 and 0xc take 3 clocks to run the loop twice. (1.5 clock/loop) The original object code looks like this: 00000010 <__loop_const_udelay>: 10: e3e01000 mvn r1, #0 14: e51f201c ldr r2, [pc, #-28] ; 0 <__loop_udelay-0x8> 18: e5922000 ldr r2, [r2] 1c: e0800921 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #18 20: e1a00720 lsr r0, r0, #14 24: e0822b21 add r2, r2, r1, lsr #22 28: e1a02522 lsr r2, r2, #10 2c: e0000092 mul r0, r2, r0 30: e0800d21 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #26 34: e1b00320 lsrs r0, r0, #6 38: 01a0f00e moveq pc, lr 0000003c <__loop_delay>: 3c: e2500001 subs r0, r0, #1 40: 8afffffe bhi 3c <__loop_delay> 44: e1a0f00e mov pc, lr After adding the 'align 3' directive to __loop_delay (align to 8 bytes): 00000010 <__loop_const_udelay>: 10: e3e01000 mvn r1, #0 14: e51f201c ldr r2, [pc, #-28] ; 0 <__loop_udelay-0x8> 18: e5922000 ldr r2, [r2] 1c: e0800921 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #18 20: e1a00720 lsr r0, r0, #14 24: e0822b21 add r2, r2, r1, lsr #22 28: e1a02522 lsr r2, r2, #10 2c: e0000092 mul r0, r2, r0 30: e0800d21 add r0, r0, r1, lsr #26 34: e1b00320 lsrs r0, r0, #6 38: 01a0f00e moveq pc, lr 3c: e320f000 nop {0} 00000040 <__loop_delay>: 40: e2500001 subs r0, r0, #1 44: 8afffffe bhi 40 <__loop_delay> 48: e1a0f00e mov pc, lr 4c: e320f000 nop {0} , which now reports: Calibrating delay loop... 996.14 BogoMIPS (lpj=4980736) Some more test results: On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz, before the patch: Calibrating delay loop... 351.43 BogoMIPS (lpj=1757184) On mx31 (ARM1136) running at 532 MHz after the patch: Calibrating delay loop... 528.79 BogoMIPS (lpj=2643968) Also tested on mx6 (CortexA9) and on mx27 (ARM926), which shows the same BogoMIPS value before and after this patch.
