2011-11-20KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclockAvi Kivity
Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled, preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and prevents the recursion. Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge. Tested-by: Gleb Natapov <gleb@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

2011-11-19hugetlb: remove dummy definitions of HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZEDavid Rientjes
Dummy, non-zero definitions for HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE were added in 51c6f666fceb ("mm: ZAP_BLOCK causes redundant work") to avoid a divide by zero in generic kernel code. That code has since been removed, but probably should never have been added in the first place: we don't want HPAGE_SIZE to act like PAGE_SIZE for code that is working with hugepages, for example, when the dependency on CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE has not been fulfilled. Because hugepage size can differ from architecture to architecture, each is required to have their own definitions for both HPAGE_MASK and HPAGE_SIZE. This is always done in arch/*/include/asm/page.h. So, just remove the dummy and dangerous definitions since they are no longer needed and reveals the correct dependencies. Tested on architectures using the definitions with allyesconfig: x86 (even with thp), hppa, mips, powerpc, s390, sh3, sh4, sparc, and sparc64, and with defconfig on ia64.

2011-11-18PM / Hibernate: Fix the early termination of test modesSrivatsa S. Bhat
Commit 2aede851ddf08666f68ffc17be446420e9d2a056 (PM / Hibernate: Freeze kernel threads after preallocating memory) postponed the freezing of kernel threads to after preallocating memory for hibernation. But while doing that, the hibernation test TEST_FREEZER and the test mode HIBERNATION_TESTPROC were not moved accordingly. As a result, when using these test modes, it only goes upto the freezing of userspace and exits, when in fact it should go till the complete end of task freezing stage, namely the freezing of kernel threads as well. So, move these points of exit to appropriate places so that freezing of kernel threads is also tested while using these test harnesses. Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2011-11-17PM Sleep: Do not extend wakeup paths to devices with ignore_children setRafael J. Wysocki
Commit 4ca46ff3e0d8c234cb40ebb6457653b59584426c (PM / Sleep: Mark devices involved in wakeup signaling during suspend) introduced the power.wakeup_path field in struct dev_pm_info to mark devices whose children are enabled to wake up the system from sleep states, so that power domains containing the parents that provide their children with wakeup power and/or relay their wakeup signals are not turned off. Unfortunately, that introduced a PM regression on SH7372 whose power consumption in the system "memory sleep" state increased as a result of it, because it prevented the power domain containing the I2C controller from being turned off when some children of that controller were enabled to wake up the system, although the controller was not necessary for them to signal wakeup. To fix this issue use the observation that devices whose power.ignore_children flag is set for runtime PM should be treated analogously during system suspend. Namely, they shouldn't be included in wakeup paths going through their children. Since the SH7372 I2C controller's power.ignore_children flag is set, doing so will restore the previous behavior of that SOC. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

CPUSTAT_RUNNING has been changed to be set in kvm_arch_vcpu_load() and to be unset in kvm_arch_vcpu_put(). For signifying stopped state of a vcpu, a host-controlled bit has been used and is set/unset basically on the reverse as the old CPUSTAT_RUNNING bit (including pushing it down into stop handling proper in handle_stop()).

2011-11-17powerpc: Fix atomic_xxx_return barrier semanticsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The Documentation/memory-barriers.txt document requires that atomic operations that return a value act as a memory barrier both before and after the actual atomic operation. Our current implementation doesn't guarantee this. More specifically, while a load following the isync can not be issued before stwcx. has completed, that completion doesn't architecturally means that the result of stwcx. is visible to other processors (or any previous stores for that matter) (typically, the other processors L1 caches can still hold the old value). This has caused an actual crash in RCU torture testing on Power 7 This fixes it by changing those atomic ops to use new macros instead of RELEASE/ACQUIRE barriers, called ATOMIC_ENTRY and ATMOIC_EXIT barriers, which are then defined respectively to lwsync and sync. I haven't had a chance to measure the performance impact (or rather what I measured with kernel compiles is in the noise, I yet have to find a more precise benchmark) Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Acked-by: Paul E.

2011-11-17powerpc: Remove buggy 9-year-old test for binutils < 2.12.1Kyle Moffett
Recent binutils refuses to assemble AltiVec opcodes when in e500/SPE mode, as some of those opcodes alias the "SPE" instructions. This triggers an ancient binutils version check even when building a kernel with CONFIG_ALTIVEC disabled. In theory, the check could be conditionalized on CONFIG_ALTIVEC, but in practice it has long outlived its utility. It is virtually impossible to find binutils older than 2.12.1 (released 2002) in the wild anymore. Even ancient RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 has binutils-2.14. To fix the kernel build when done natively on e500 systems with this new binutils, the test is simply removed.

2011-11-17powerpc/book3e-64: Fix debug support for userspaceKumar Gala
With the introduction of CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS user space debug is broken on Book-E 64-bit parts that support delayed debug events. When switch_booke_debug_regs() sets DBCR0 we'll start getting debug events as MSR_DE is also set and we aren't able to handle debug events from kernel space. We can remove the hack that always enables MSR_DE and loads up DBCR0 and just utilize switch_booke_debug_regs() to get user space debug working again. We still need to handle critical/debug exception stacks & proper save/restore of state for those exception levles to support debug events from kernel space like we have on 32-bit.

2011-11-17powerpc: Remove extraneous CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS defineKumar Gala
All of DebugException is already protected by CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS there is no need to have another such ifdef inside the function. Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
2011-11-17powerpc: Revert show_regs() define for readabilityKumar Gala
We had an existing ifdef for 4xx & BOOKE processors that got changed to CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS. The define has nothing to do with CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS. The define really should be: #if defined(CONFIG_4xx) || defined(CONFIG_BOOKE) and not #ifdef CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS Signed-off-by: Kumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
