The purpose of this single series of commits from Srivatsa S Bhat (with
a small piece from Gautham R Shenoy) touching multiple subsystems that use
CPU hotplug notifiers is to provide a way to register them that will not
lead to deadlocks with CPU online/offline operations as described in the
changelog of commit 93ae4f978c (CPU hotplug: Provide lockless versions
of callback registration functions).
The first three commits in the series introduce the API and document it
and the rest simply goes through the users of CPU hotplug notifiers and
converts them to using the new method.

Pull x86 vdso changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is the revamp of the 32-bit vdso and the associated cleanups.
This adds timekeeping support to the 32-bit vdso that we already have
in the 64-bit vdso. Although 32-bit x86 is legacy, it is likely to
remain in the embedded space for a very long time to come.
This removes the traditional COMPAT_VDSO support; the configuration
variable is reused for simply removing the 32-bit vdso, which will
produce correct results but obviously suffer a performance penalty.
Only one beta version of glibc was affected, but that version was
unfortunately included in one OpenSUSE release.
This is not the end of the vdso cleanups. Stefani and Andy have
agreed to continue work for the next kernel cycle; in fact Andy has
already produced another set of cleanups that came too late for this
cycle.
An incidental, but arguably important, change is that this ensures
that unused space in the VVAR page is properly zeroed. It wasn't
before, and would contain whatever garbage was left in memory by BIOS
or the bootloader. Since the VVAR page is accessible to user space
this had the potential of information leaks"

Pull irq code updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The irq department proudly presents:
- Another tree wide sweep of irq infrastructure abuse. Clear winner
of the trainwreck engineering contest was:
#include "../../../kernel/irq/settings.h"
- Tree wide update of irq_set_affinity() callbacks which miss a cpu
online check when picking a single cpu out of the affinity mask.
- Tree wide consolidation of interrupt statistics.
- Updates to the threaded interrupt infrastructure to allow explicit
wakeup of the interrupt thread and a variant of synchronize_irq()
which synchronizes only the hard interrupt handler. Both are
needed to replace the homebrewn thread handling in the mmc/sdhci
code.
- New irq chip callbacks to allow proper support for GPIO based irqs.
The GPIO based interrupts need to request/release GPIO resources
from request/free_irq.
- A few new ARM interrupt chips. No revolutionary new hardware, just
differently wreckaged variations of the scheme.
- Small improvments, cleanups and updates all over the place"

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:
get_online_cpus();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
put_online_cpus();
This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).
Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:
cpu_notifier_register_begin();
for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
init_cpu(cpu);
/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
cpu_notifier_register_done();
Fix the hpet code in x86 by using this latter form of callback registration.

While Linux itself has been calling hpet_disable() for quite a
while, having e.g. a secondary (kexec) kernel depend on such
behavior of the primary (crashed) environment is fragile. It
particularly broke until very recently when the primary
environment was Xen based, as that hypervisor did not clear any
of the HPET settings it may have used.
Rather than blindly (and incompletely) clearing certain HPET
settings in hpet_disable(), latch the config register settings
during boot and restore then here.
(Note on the hpet_set_mode() change: Now that we're clearing the
level bit upon initialization, there's no need anymore to do so
here.)

When HPET is operating in RTC mode, the TN_ENABLE bit on timer1
controls whether the HPET or the RTC delivers interrupts to irq8. When
the system goes into suspend, the RTC driver sends a signal to the
HPET driver so that the HPET releases control of irq8, allowing the
RTC to wake the system from suspend. The switchover is accomplished by
a write to the HPET configuration registers which currently only
occurs while servicing the HPET interrupt.
On some systems, I have seen the system suspend before an HPET
interrupt occurs, preventing the write to the HPET configuration
register and leaving the HPET in control of the irq8. As the HPET is
not active during suspend, it does not generate a wake signal and RTC
alarms do not work.
This patch forces the HPET driver to immediately transfer control of
the irq8 channel to the RTC instead of waiting until the next
interrupt event.

commit 995bd3bb5 (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty)
chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the
confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is
delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed
readback problems.
After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer
AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further
information.
Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum
HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of
course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks.
For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for
the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns
value for the HPET clockevent accordingly.

Due to the overly intelligent design of HPETs, we need to workaround
the problem that the compare value which we write is already behind
the actual counter value at the point where the value hits the real
compare register. This happens for two reasons:
1) We read out the counter, add the delta and write the result to the
compare register. When a NMI or SMI hits between the read out and
the write then the counter can be ahead of the event already
2) The write to the compare register is delayed by up to two HPET
cycles in certain chipsets.
We worked around this by reading back the compare register to make
sure that the written value has hit the hardware. For certain ICH9+
chipsets this can require two readouts, as the first one can return
the previous compare register value. That's bad performance wise for
the normal case where the event is far enough in the future.
As we already know that the write can be delayed by up to two cycles
we can avoid the read back of the compare register completely if we
make the decision whether the delta has elapsed already or not based
on the following calculation:
cmp = event - actual_count;
If cmp is less than 8 HPET clock cycles, then we decide that the event
has happened already and return -ETIME. That covers the above #1 and
#2 problems which would cause a wait for HPET wraparound (~306
seconds).

This more or less reverts commits 08be979 (x86: Force HPET
readback_cmp for all ATI chipsets) and 30a564be (x86, hpet: Restrict
read back to affected ATI chipsets) to the status of commit 8da854c
(x86, hpet: Erratum workaround for read after write of HPET
comparator).
The delta to commit 8da854c is mostly comments and the change from
WARN_ONCE to printk_once as we know the call path of this function
already.
This needs really in depth explanation:
First of all the HPET design is a complete failure. Having a counter
compare register which generates an interrupt on matching values
forces the software to do at least one superfluous readback of the
counter register.
While it is nice in theory to program "absolute" time events it is
practically useless because the timer runs at some absurd frequency
which can never be matched to real world units. So we are forced to
calculate a relative delta and this forces a readout of the actual
counter value, adding the delta and programming the compare
register. When the delta is small enough we run into the danger that
we program a compare value which is already in the past. Due to the
compare for equal nature of HPET we need to read back the counter
value after writing the compare rehgister (btw. this is necessary for
absolute timeouts as well) to make sure that we did not miss the timer
event. We try to work around that by setting the minimum delta to a
value which is larger than the theoretical time which elapses between
the counter readout and the compare register write, but that's only
true in theory. A NMI or SMI which hits between the readout and the
write can easily push us beyond that limit. This would result in
waiting for the next HPET timer interrupt until the 32bit wraparound
of the counter happens which takes about 306 seconds.
So we designed the next event function to look like:
match = read_cnt() + delta;
write_compare_ref(match);
return read_cnt() < match ? 0 : -ETIME;
At some point we got into trouble with certain ATI chipsets. Even the
above "safe" procedure failed. The reason was that the write to the
compare register was delayed probably for performance reasons. The
theory was that they wanted to avoid the synchronization of the write
with the HPET clock, which is understandable. So the write does not
hit the compare register directly instead it goes to some intermediate
register which is copied to the real compare register in sync with the
HPET clock. That opens another window for hitting the dreaded "wait
for a wraparound" problem.
To work around that "optimization" we added a read back of the compare
register which either enforced the update of the just written value or
just delayed the readout of the counter enough to avoid the issue. We
unfortunately never got any affirmative info from ATI/AMD about this.
One thing is sure, that we nuked the performance "optimization" that
way completely and I'm pretty sure that the result is worse than
before some HW folks came up with those.
Just for paranoia reasons I added a check whether the read back
compare register value was the same as the value we wrote right
before. That paranoia check triggered a couple of years after it was
added on an Intel ICH9 chipset. Venki added a workaround (commit
8da854c) which was reading the compare register twice when the first
check failed. We considered this to be a penalty in general and
restricted the readback (thus the wasted CPU cycles) to the known to
be affected ATI chipsets.
This turned out to be a utterly wrong decision. 2.6.35 testers
experienced massive problems and finally one of them bisected it down
to commit 30a564be which spured some further investigation.
Finally we got confirmation that the write to the compare register can
be delayed by up to two HPET clock cycles which explains the problems
nicely. All we can do about this is to go back to Venki's initial
workaround in a slightly modified version.
Just for the record I need to say, that all of this could have been
avoided if hardware designers and of course the HPET committee would
have thought about the consequences for a split second. It's out of my
comprehension why designing a working timer is so hard. There are two
ways to achieve it:
1) Use a counter wrap around aware compare_reg <= counter_reg
implementation instead of the easy compare_reg == counter_reg
Downsides:
- It needs more silicon.
- It needs a readout of the counter to apply a relative
timeout. This is necessary as the counter does not run in
any useful (and adjustable) frequency and there is no
guarantee that the counter which is used for timer events is
the same which is used for reading the actual time (and
therefor for calculating the delta)
Upsides:
- None
2) Use a simple down counter for relative timer events
Downsides:
- Absolute timeouts are not possible, which is not a problem
at all in the context of an OS and the expected
max. latencies/jitter (also see Downsides of #1)
Upsides:
- It needs less or equal silicon.
- It works ALWAYS
- It is way faster than a compare register based solution (One
write versus one write plus at least one and up to four
reads)
I would not be so grumpy about all of this, if I would not have been
ignored for many years when pointing out these flaws to various
hardware folks. I really hate timers (at least those which seem to be
designed by janitors).
Though finally we got a reasonable explanation plus a solution and I
want to thank all the folks involved in chasing it down and providing
valuable input to this.

After programming the HPET, we do a readback as a workaround for
ATI/SBx00 chipsets as a synchronization. Unfortunately this triggers
an erratum in newer ICH chipsets (ICH9+) where reading the comparator
immediately after the write returns the old value. Furthermore, as
always, I/O reads are bad for performance.
Therefore, restrict the readback to the chipsets that need it, or, for
debugging purposes, when we are running with hpet=verbose.

We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC.
In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells
the hpet code about it here:
int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq)
{
uint64_t clc;
if (!is_hpet_enabled())
return 0;
if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ)
hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq;
else {
clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC;
do_div(clc, freq);
clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift;
hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc;
}
return 1;
}
If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then
hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero. Then, on every one-shot
HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next
timeout. Well, that function has this logic:
if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit)
delta = hpet_default_delta;
else
delta = hpet_pie_delta;
Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used. That
corresponds to 64Hz.
Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path
through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets
hpet_pie_limit back to 0.
Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever.
The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq
is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

This is a chipset erratum.
Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and
hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for
this particular erratum.
Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a
write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most
recently written value.
Erratum 15 in
"Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update"
(http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf)
Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first
one fails.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
