2007-10-23x86: fix more TSC clock source calibration errorsDave Johnson
The previous patch wasn't correctly handling the 'count' variable. If a CPU gave bad results on the 1st or 2nd run but good results on the 3rd, it wouldn't do the correct thing. No idea if any such CPU exists, but the patch below handles that case by discarding the bad runs. If a bad result (too quick, or too slow) occurs on any of the 3 runs it will be discarded. Also updated some comments to explain what's going on.

2007-10-23x86: fix TSC clock source calibration errorDave Johnson
I ran into this problem on a system that was unable to obtain NTP sync because the clock was running very slow (over 10000ppm slow). ntpd had declared all of its peers 'reject' with 'peer_dist' reason. On investigation, the tsc_khz variable was significantly incorrect causing xtime to run slow. After a reboot tsc_khz was correct so I did a reboot test to see how often the problem occurred: Test was done on a 2000 Mhz Xeon system. Of 689 reboots, 8 of them had unacceptable tsc_khz values (>500ppm): range of tsc_khz # of boots % of boots ---------------- ---------- ---------- < 1999750 0 0.000% 1999750 - 1999800 21 3.048% 1999800 - 1999850 166 24.128% 1999850 - 1999900 241 35.029% 1999900 - 1999950 211 30.669% 1999950 - 2000000 42 6.105% 2000000 - 2000000 0 0.000% 2000050 - 2000100 0 0.000% [...] 2000100 - 2015000 1 0.145% << BAD 2015000 - 2030000 6 0.872% << BAD 2030000 - 2045000 1 0.145% << BAD 2045000 < 0 0.000% The worst boot was 2032.577 Mhz, over 1.5% off! It appears that on rare occasions, mach_countup() is taking longer to complete than necessary. I suspect that this is caused by the CPU taking a periodic SMI interrupt right at the end of the 30ms calibration loop. This would cause the loop to delay while the SMI BIOS hander runs. The resulting TSC value is beyond what it actually should be resulting in a higher tsc_khz. The below patch makes native_calculate_cpu_khz() take the best (shortest duration, lowest khz) run of it's 3 calibration loops. If a SMI goes off causing a bad result (long duration, higher khz) it will be discarded. With the patch applied, 300 boots of the same system produce good results: range of tsc_khz # of boots % of boots ---------------- ---------- ---------- < 1999750 0 0.000% 1999750 - 1999800 30 10.000% 1999800 - 1999850 166 55.333% 1999850 - 1999900 89 29.667% 1999900 - 1999950 15 5.000% 1999950 < 0 0.000% Problem was found and tested against 2.6.18.

2007-10-23x86: lock bitopsNick Piggin
I missed an obvious one! x86 CPUs are defined not to reorder stores past earlier loads, so there is no hardware memory barrier required to implement a release-consistent store (all stores are, by definition). So ditch the generic lock bitops, and implement optimised versions for x86, which removes the mfence from __clear_bit_unlock (which is already a useful primitive for SLUB).

This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

2007-10-23Fix synchronize_irq races with IRQ handlerHerbert Xu
As it is some callers of synchronize_irq rely on memory barriers to provide synchronisation against the IRQ handlers. For example, the tg3 driver does tp->irq_sync = 1; smp_mb(); synchronize_irq(); and then in the IRQ handler: if (!tp->irq_sync) netif_rx_schedule(dev, &tp->napi); Unfortunately memory barriers only work well when they come in pairs. Because we don't actually have memory barriers on the IRQ path, the memory barrier before the synchronize_irq() doesn't actually protect us. In particular, synchronize_irq() may return followed by the result of netif_rx_schedule being made visible. This patch (mostly written by Linus) fixes this by using spin locks instead of memory barries on the synchronize_irq() path.

2007-10-23m68knommu: cleanup m68knommu timer codeGreg Ungerer
Reduce the function pointer mess of the m68knommu timer code by calling directly to the local hardware's timer setup, and expose the local common timer interrupt handler to the lower level hardware timer. Ultimately this will save definitions of all these functions across all the platform code to setup the function pointers (which for any given m68knommu CPU family member can be only one set of hardware timer functions).
