locking/mutexes: Documentation update/rewrite
Our mutexes have gone a long ways since the original
implementation back in 2005/2006. However, the mutex-design.txt
document is still stuck in the past, to the point where most of
the information there is practically useless and, more
important, simply incorrect. This patch pretty much rewrites it
to resemble what we have nowadays.
Since regular semaphores are almost much extinct in the kernel
(most users now rely on mutexes or rwsems), it no longer makes
sense to have such a close comparison, which was copied from
most of the cover letter when Ingo introduced the generic mutex
subsystem.
Note that ww_mutexes are intentionally left out, leaving things
as generic as possible.

locking/rwsem: Support optimistic spinning
We have reached the point where our mutexes are quite fine tuned
for a number of situations. This includes the use of heuristics
and optimistic spinning, based on MCS locking techniques.
Exclusive ownership of read-write semaphores are, conceptually,
just about the same as mutexes, making them close cousins. To
this end we need to make them both perform similarly, and
right now, rwsems are simply not up to it. This was discovered
by both reverting commit 4fc3f1d6 (mm/rmap, migration: Make
rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable) and
similarly, converting some other mutexes (ie: i_mmap_mutex) to
rwsems. This creates a situation where users have to choose
between a rwsem and mutex taking into account this important
performance difference. Specifically, biggest difference between
both locks is when we fail to acquire a mutex in the fastpath,
optimistic spinning comes in to play and we can avoid a large
amount of unnecessary sleeping and overhead of moving tasks in
and out of wait queue. Rwsems do not have such logic.
This patch, based on the work from Tim Chen and I, adds support
for write-side optimistic spinning when the lock is contended.
It also includes support for the recently added cancelable MCS
locking for adaptive spinning. Note that is is only applicable
to the xadd method, and the spinlock rwsem variant remains intact.
Allowing optimistic spinning before putting the writer on the wait
queue reduces wait queue contention and provided greater chance
for the rwsem to get acquired. With these changes, rwsem is on par
with mutex. The performance benefits can be seen on a number of
workloads. For instance, on a 8 socket, 80 core 64bit Westmere box,
aim7 shows the following improvements in throughput:
There was also improvement on smaller systems, such as a quad-core
x86-64 laptop running a 30Gb PostgreSQL (pgbench) workload for up
to +60% in throughput for over 50 clients. Additionally, benefits
were also noticed in exim (mail server) workloads. Furthermore, no
performance regression have been seen at all.

arch: Prepare for smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic()
Since the smp_mb__{before,after}*() ops are fundamentally dependent on
how an arch can implement atomics it doesn't make sense to have 3
variants of them. They must all be the same.
Furthermore, the 3 variants suggest they're only valid for those 3
atomic ops, while we have many more where they could be applied.
So move away from
smp_mb__{before,after}_{atomic,clear}_{dec,inc,bit}() and reduce the
interface to just the two: smp_mb__{before,after}_atomic().
This patch prepares the way by introducing default implementations in
asm-generic/barrier.h that default to a full barrier and providing
__deprecated inlines for the previous 6 barriers if they're not
provided by the arch.
This should allow for a mostly painless transition (lots of deprecated
warns in the interim).

ipmi: Turn off all activity on an idle ipmi interface
The IPMI driver would wake up periodically looking for events and
watchdog pretimeouts. If there is nothing waiting for these events,
it's really kind of pointless to be checking for them. So modify the
driver so the message handler can pass down if it needs the lower layer
to be waiting for these. Modify the system interface lower layer to
turn off all timer and thread activity if the upper layer doesn't need
anything and it is not currently handling messages. And modify the
message handler to not restart the timer if its timer is not needed.
The timers and kthread will still be enabled if:
- the SI interface is handling a message.
- a user has enabled watching for events.
- the IPMI watchdog timer is in use (since it uses pretimeouts).
- the message handler is waiting on a remote response.
- a user has registered to receive commands.
This mostly affects interfaces without interrupts. Interfaces with
interrupts already don't use CPU in the system interface when the
interface is idle.
The default probing can cause problems with some system, slow booting,
extra CPU usages, etc. Turn it off by default and give a config option
to enable it.

ipmi: Fix a race restarting the timer
With recent changes it is possible for the timer handler to detect an
idle interface and not start the timer, but the thread to start an
operation at the same time. The thread will not start the timer in that
instance, resulting in the timer not running.
Instead, move all timer operations under the lock and start the timer in
the thread if it detect non-idle and the timer is not already running.
Moving under locks allows the last timeout to be set in both the thread
and the timer. 'Timer is not running' means that the timer is not
pending and smi_timeout() is not running. So we need a flag to detect
this correctly.
Also fix a few other timeout bugs: setting the last timeout when the
interrupt has to be disabled and the timer started, and setting the last
timeout in check_start_timer_thread possibly racing with the timer
unsigned char i;
...
bt->read_data[0] = BMC2HOST;
bt->read_count = bt->read_data[0];
...
for (i = 1; i <= bt->read_count; i++)
bt->read_data[i] = BMC2HOST;
If bt->read_data[0] == bt->read_count == 255, we loop infinitely in the
'for' loop. Make 'i' an 'int' instead of 'char' to get rid of the
overflow and finish the loop after 255 iterations every time.

At the moment the "Device Drivers / Graphics support" kernel config page
looks rather messy, with DRM and fbdev driver selections on the same

If I'm not mistaken, this is caused by the drivers depending on other
things than DRM or FB, which causes Kconfig to arrange the options in
not-so-neat manner.
Both DRM and FB have a main menuconfig option for the whole DRM or FB
subsystem. Optimally, this would be enough to arrange all DRM and FB

doesn't work reliably.

[IA64] Change default PSR.ac from '1' to '0' (Fix erratum #237)
=========================================================================
237. Under a complex set of conditions, store to load forwarding for a
sub 8-byte load may complete incorrectly
Problem: A load instruction may complete incorrectly when a code sequence
using 4-byte or smaller load and store operations to the same address
is executed in combination with specific timing of all the following
concurrent conditions: store to load forwarding, alignment checking
enabled, a mis-predicted branch, and complex cache utilization activity.
Implication: The affected sub 8-byte instruction may complete
incorrectly resulting in unpredictable system behavior. There is an
extremely low probability of exposure due to the significant number of
complex microarchitectural concurrent conditions required to encounter
the erratum.
Workaround: Set PSR.ac = 0 to completely avoid the erratum. Disabling
Hyper-Threading will significantly reduce exposure to the conditions
that contribute to encountering the erratum.
Status: See the Summary Table of Changes for the affected steppings.
=========================================================================
[Table of changes essentially lists all models from McKinley to Tukwila]
The PSR.ac bit controls whether the processor will always generate
an unaligned reference trap (0x5a00) for a misaligned data access
(when PSR.ac=1) or if it will let the access succeed when running
on a cpu that implements logic to handle some unaligned accesses.
Way back in 2008 in commit b704882e70d87d7f56db5ff17e2253f3fa90e4f3
[IA64] Rationalize kernel mode alignment checking
we made the decision to always enable strict checking. We were
already doing so in trap/interrupt context because the common
preamble code set this bit - but the rest of supervisor code
(and by inheritance user code) ran with PSR.ac=0.
We now reverse that decision and set PSR.ac=0 everywhere in the
kernel (also inherited by user processes). This will avoid the
erratum using the method described in the Itanium specification
update. Net effect for users is that the processor will handle
unaligned access when it can (typically with a tiny performance
bubble in the pipeline ... but much less invasive than taking a
trap and having the OS perform the access).
x86: Remove the PCI reboot method from the default chain
Steve reported a reboot hang and bisected it back to this commit:
a4f1987e4c54 x86, reboot: Add EFI and CF9 reboot methods into the default list
He heroically tested all reboot methods and found the following:
reboot=t # triple fault ok
reboot=k # keyboard ctrl FAIL
reboot=b # BIOS ok
reboot=a # ACPI FAIL
reboot=e # EFI FAIL [system has no EFI]
reboot=p # PCI 0xcf9 FAIL
And I think it's pretty obvious that we should only try PCI 0xcf9 as a
last resort - if at all.
The other observation is that (on this box) we should never try
the PCI reboot method, but close with either the 'triple fault'
or the 'BIOS' (terminal!) reboot methods.
Thirdly, CF9_COND is a total misnomer - it should be something like
CF9_SAFE or CF9_CAREFUL, and 'CF9' should be 'CF9_FORCE' ...
So this patch fixes the worst problems:
- it orders the actual reboot logic to follow the reboot ordering
pattern - it was in a pretty random order before for no good
reason.
- it fixes the CF9 misnomers and uses BOOT_CF9_FORCE and
BOOT_CF9_SAFE flags to make the code more obvious.
- it tries the BIOS reboot method before the PCI reboot method.
(Since 'BIOS' is a terminal reboot method resulting in a hang
if it does not work, this is essentially equivalent to removing
the PCI reboot method from the default reboot chain.)
- just for the miraculous possibility of terminal (resulting
in hang) reboot methods of triple fault or BIOS returning
without having done their job, there's an ordering between
them as well.

over UDP so we use an internal kernel UDP socket to do the

These tunnels should behave just like other software devices and
pass the packets on down to the next layer.
Most importantly we want the top-level socket (eg TCP) that created
the traffic to be charged for the SKB memory.
However, once you get into the IP output path, we have code that
assumed that whatever was attached to skb->sk is an IP socket.
To keep the top-level socket being charged for the SKB memory,
whilst satisfying the needs of the IP output path, we now pass in an
explicit 'sk' argument.

xen/manage: Poweroff forcefully if user-space is not yet up.
The user can launch the guest in this sequence:
xl create -p /vm.cfg [launch, but pause it]
xl shutdown latest [sets control/shutdown=poweroff]
xl unpause latest
xl console latest [and see that the guest has completely
ignored the shutdown request]
In reality the guest hasn't ignored it. It registers a watch
and gets a notification that there is value. It then calls
the shutdown_handler which ends up calling orderly_shutdown.
Unfortunately that is so early in the bootup that there
are no user-space. Which means that the orderly_shutdown fails.
But since the force flag was set to false it continues on without
reporting.
What we really want to is to use the force when we are in the
SYSTEM_BOOTING state and not use the 'force' when SYSTEM_RUNNING.
However, if we are in the running state - and the shutdown command
has been given before the user-space has been setup, there is nothing
we can do. Worst yet, we stop ignoring the 'xl shutdown' requests!
As such, the other part of this patch is to only stop ignoring
the 'xl shutdown' when we are truly in the power off sequence.
That means the user can do multiple 'xl shutdown' and we will try
to act on them instead of ignoring them.

xen/xenbus: Avoid synchronous wait on XenBus stalling shutdown/restart.
The 'read_reply' works with 'process_msg' to read of a reply in XenBus.
'process_msg' is running from within the 'xenbus' thread. Whenever
a message shows up in XenBus it is put on a xs_state.reply_list list
and 'read_reply' picks it up.
The problem is if the backend domain or the xenstored process is killed.
In which case 'xenbus' is still awaiting - and 'read_reply' if called -
stuck forever waiting for the reply_list to have some contents.
This is normally not a problem - as the backend domain can come back
or the xenstored process can be restarted. However if the domain
is in process of being powered off/restarted/halted - there is no
point of waiting on it coming back - as we are effectively being
terminated and should not impede the progress.
This patch solves this problem by checking whether the guest is the
right domain. If it is an initial domain and hurtling towards death -
there is no point of continuing the wait. All other type of guests
continue with their behavior (as Xenstore is expected to still be
running in another domain).

smp_read_barrier_depends() can be used if there is data dependency between
the readers - i.e. if the read operation after the barrier uses address
that was obtained from the read operation before the barrier.
In this file, there is only control dependency, no data dependecy, so the
use of smp_read_barrier_depends() is incorrect. The code could fail in the
following way:
* the cpu predicts that idx < entries is true and starts executing the
body of the for loop
* the cpu fetches map->extent[0].first and map->extent[0].count
* the cpu fetches map->nr_extents
* the cpu verifies that idx < extents is true, so it commits the
instructions in the body of the for loop
The problem is that in this scenario, the cpu read map->extent[0].first
and map->nr_extents in the wrong order. We need a full read memory barrier
to prevent it.

net: Start with correct mac_len in skb_network_protocol
Sometimes, when the packet arrives at skb_mac_gso_segment()
its skb->mac_len already accounts for some of the mac lenght
headers in the packet. This seems to happen when forwarding

When we start looking for any vlan headers in skb_network_protocol()
we seem to ignore any of the already known mac headers and start
with an ETH_HLEN. This results in an incorrect offset, dropped
TSO frames and general slowness of the connection.
We can start counting from the known skb->mac_len

The underlying issue that explains this is that the implementation of

Therefore, a simple cast to 'unsigned long *' for storing the value of
the syscall argument via syscall_get_arguments() is just wrong as on
32-bit x86 (or any other 32bit arch), it would result in storing a0-a5
at wrong offsets in args[] member, and thus i) could leak stack memory
to user space and ii) tampers with the logic of seccomp BPF programs
that read out and check for syscall arguments:
syscall_get_arguments(task, regs, 0, 1, (unsigned long *) &sd->args[0]);
Tested on 32-bit x86 with Google Chrome, unfortunately only via remote
test machine through slow ssh X forwarding, but it fixes the issue on
my side. So fix it up by storing args in type correct variables, gcc
is clever and optimizes the copy away in other cases, e.g. x86_64.
