The original scheme for reporting spurious wakeups was broken - it tried to use printk() from a context which wasn't coherent with the other CPUs, which risks corrupting the printk() data. Fix this by noting the number spurious wakeups, and only report them when we are properly woken - when we will be coherent with the rest of the system.

We used to print a bland error message which gave no clue as to the failure when we failed to bring up a secondary CPU. Resolve this by separating the two failure cases. If boot_secondary() fails, we print a message indicating the returned error code from boot_secondary(): "CPU%u: failed to boot: %d\n", cpu, ret. However, if boot_secondary() succeeded, but the CPU did not appear to mark itself online within the timeout, indicate that it failed to come online: "CPU%u: failed to come online\n", cpu Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

We can not guarantee that VFP will be enabled when CPU hotplug brings a CPU back online from a reset state. Add a hotplug CPU notifier to ensure that the VFP coprocessor access is enabled whenever a CPU comes back online. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

There is a subtle race in the CPU hotplug code, where a CPU which has been offlined can online itself before being requested, which results in things going astray on the next online/offline cycle. What happens in the normal online/offline/online cycle is: CPU0 CPU3 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 ... requests CPU3 offline ... ... dies ... checks pen_release, reads -1 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 However, as the write of -1 of pen_release is not fully flushed back to memory, and the checking of pen_release is done with caches disabled, this allows CPU3 the opportunity to read the old value of pen_release: CPU0 CPU3 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 ... requests CPU3 offline ... ... dies ... checks pen_release, reads 3 starts boot pen_release = -1 requests boot of CPU3 pen_release = 3 flush cache line Fix this by grouping the write of pen_release along with its cache line flushing code to ensure that any update to pen_release is always pushed out to physical memory.

* __fixup_smp_on_up has been modified with support for the THUMB2_KERNEL case. For THUMB2_KERNEL only, fixups are split into halfwords in case of misalignment, since we can't rely on unaligned accesses working before turning the MMU on. No attempt is made to optimise the aligned case, since the number of fixups is typically small, and it seems best to keep the code as simple as possible. * Add a rotate in the fixup_smp code in order to support CPU_BIG_ENDIAN, as suggested by Nicolas Pitre. * Add an assembly-time sanity-check to ALT_UP() to ensure that the content really is the right size (4 bytes). (No check is done for ALT_SMP(). Possibly, this could be fixed by splitting the two uses ot ALT_SMP() (ALT_SMP...SMP_UP versus ALT_SMP...SMP_UP_B) into two macros. In the first case, ALT_SMP needs to expand to >= 4 bytes, not == 4.) * smp_mpidr.h (which implements ALT_SMP()/ALT_UP() manually due to macro limitations) has not been modified: the affected instruction (mov) has no 16-bit encoding, so the correct instruction size is satisfied in this case. * A "mode" parameter has been added to smp_dmb: smp_dmb arm @ assumes 4-byte instructions (for ARM code, e.g. kuser) smp_dmb @ uses W() to ensure 4-byte instructions for ALT_SMP() This avoids assembly failures due to use of W() inside smp_dmb, when assembling pure-ARM code in the vectors page. There might be a better way to achieve this. * Kconfig: make SMP_ON_UP depend on (!THUMB2_KERNEL || !BIG_ENDIAN) i.e., THUMB2_KERNEL is now supported, but only if !BIG_ENDIAN (The fixup code for Thumb-2 currently assumes little-endian order.) Tested using a single generic realview kernel on: ARM RealView PB-A8 (CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL={n,y}) ARM RealView PBX-A9 (SMP) Signed-off-by: Dave Martin <dave.martin@linaro.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

platform_cpu_die() is entered from the CPU's own idle thread, which can not be migrated to other CPUs. Moreover, the 'cpu' argument comes from the thread info, which will always be the 'current' CPU. So remove this useless bug check. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

We always need to wait for the dying CPU to reach a safe state before taking it down, irrespective of the requirements of the platform.

scu_get_core_count() never returns zero cores, so we don't need to check and correct if ncores is zero. Tegra was missing the check against NR_CPUS, leading to a potential bitfield overflow if this becomes the case. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

As we've now removed the spinlock and bitmask, we have nothing left which requires interrupts to be disabled when sending an IPI. All current IPI-sending implementations use the GIC, which also does not require interrupts disabled when calling gic_raise_softirq(). Remove the now unnecessary IRQ disable.

Avoid using bitmasks and locks in the percpu area for IPIs, and instead use individual software generated interrupts to identify the reason for the IPI.

Note: this patch targets 2.6.37 and tries to be as simple as possible. That is why it adds more copy-and-paste horror into fs/compat.c and uglifies fs/exec.c, this will be cleanuped later. compat_copy_strings() plays with bprm->vma/mm directly and thus has two problems: it lacks the RLIMIT_STACK check and argv/envp memory is not visible to oom killer. Export acct_arg_size() and get_arg_page(), change compat_copy_strings() to use get_arg_page(), change compat_do_execve() to do acct_arg_size(0) as do_execve() does. Add the fatal_signal_pending/cond_resched checks into compat_count() and compat_copy_strings(), this matches the code in fs/exec.c and certainly makes sense.

Brad Spengler published a local memory-allocation DoS that evades the OOM-killer (though not the virtual memory RLIMIT): http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/64bit_dos.c execve()->copy_strings() can allocate a lot of memory, but this is not visible to oom-killer, nobody can see the nascent bprm->mm and take it into account. With this patch get_arg_page() increments current's MM_ANONPAGES counter every time we allocate the new page for argv/envp. When do_execve() succeds or fails, we change this counter back. Technically this is not 100% correct, we can't know if the new page is swapped out and turn MM_ANONPAGES into MM_SWAPENTS, but I don't think this really matters and everything becomes correct once exec changes ->mm or fails.
