Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock" contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are contended. Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t. Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the spinlock. So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero), so a locked region can still see the count change. The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock. In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to do three things: (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works on such a u64 data type. (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()") (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its Kconfig file. This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for 32-bit mode).

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates locklessly. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This moves __d_rcu_to_refcount() from <linux/dcache.h> into fs/namei.c and re-implements it using the lockref infrastructure instead. It also adds a lot of comments about what is actually going on, because turning a dentry that was looked up using RCU into a long-lived reference counted entry is one of the more subtle parts of the rcu walk. We also used to be _particularly_ subtle in unlazy_walk() where we re-validate both the dentry and its parent using the same sequence count. We used to do it by nesting the locks and then verifying the sequence count just once. That was silly, because nested locking is expensive, but the sequence count check is not. So this just re-validates the dentry and the parent separately, avoiding the nested locking, and making the lockref lookup possible.

A valid parent pointer is always going to have a non-zero reference count, but if we look up the parent optimistically without locking, we have to protect against the (very unlikely) race against renaming changing the parent from under us. We do that by using lockref_get_not_zero(), and then re-checking the parent pointer after getting a valid reference. [ This is a re-implementation of a chunk from the original patch by Waiman Long: "dcache: Enable lockless update of dentry's refcount". I've completely rewritten the patch-series and split it up, but I'm attributing this part to Waiman as it's close enough to his earlier patch - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This behaves like "lockref_get_not_zero()", but instead of doing nothing if the count was zero, it returns with the lock held. This allows callers to revalidate the lockref-protected data structure if required even if the count was zero to begin with, and possibly increment the count if it passes muster. In particular, the dentry code wants this when it wants to turn an RCU-protected dentry into a stable refcounted one: if the dentry count it zero, but the sequence number still validates the dentry, we can take a reference to it.

Waiman Long authored
This just replaces the dentry count/lock combination with the lockref structure that contains both a count and a spinlock, and does the mechanical conversion to use the lockref infrastructure. There are no semantic changes here, it's purely syntactic. The reference lockref implementation uses the spinlock exactly the same way that the old dcache code did, and the bulk of this patch is just expanding the internal "d_count" use in the dcache code to use "d_lockref.count" instead. This is purely preparation for the real change to make the reference count updates be lockless during the 3.12 merge window. [ As with the previous commit, this is a rewritten version of a concept originally from Waiman, so credit goes to him, blame for any errors goes to me. Waiman's patch had some semantic differences for taking advantage of the lockless update in dget_parent(), while this patch is intentionally a pure search-and-replace change with no semantic changes. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Waiman Long authored
This introduces a new "lockref" structure that supports the concept of lockless updates of reference counts that still honor an attached spinlock. NOTE! This reference implementation is not the optimized lockless version, rather it is the fallback implementation using standard spinlocks. The actual optimized versions will be merged into 3.12, but I wanted to get the infrastructure in place and document the new interfaces. [ Also note that this particular commit is drastically cut-down minimal version of the original patch by Waiman. In order to properly credit the original author I'm marking Waiman as the author here, but in the end this patch bears little resemblance to the patch by Waiman. So blame any errors on me editing things down to the point where I can introduce the infrastructure before the merge window for 3.12 actually opens. - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Waiman Long <Waiman.Long@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This reverts commit bb2314b4. It wasn't necessarily wrong per se, but we're still busily discussing the exact details of this all, so I'm going to revert it for now. It's true that you can already do flink() through /proc and that flink() isn't new. But as Brad Spengler points out, some secure environments do not mount proc, and flink adds a new interface that can avoid path lookup of the source for those kinds of environments. We may re-do this (and even mark it for stable backporting back in 3.11 and possibly earlier) once the whole discussion about the interface is done.

This solves a problem observed in kexec'ed kernel where 200ms timeout is too short and bootconsole fails to initialize. Console did eventually become workable but much later into the boot process. Observed timeout was around 260ms, but I decided to make it a little bigger for more reliability. This has been tested on Power7 machine with Petitboot as a primary bootloader and PowerNV firmware.

On 64-bit, __pa(&static_var) gets miscompiled by recent versions of gcc as something like: addis 3,2,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@ha addi 3,3,.LANCHOR1+4611686018427387904@toc@l This ends up effectively ignoring the offset, since its bottom 32 bits are zero, and means that the result of __pa() still has 0xC in the top nibble. This happens with gcc 4.8.1, at least. To work around this, for 64-bit we make __pa() use an AND operator, and for symmetry, we make __va() use an OR operator. Using an AND operator rather than a subtraction ends up with slightly shorter code since it can be done with a single clrldi instruction, whereas it takes three instructions to form the constant (-PAGE_OFFSET) and add it on. (Note that MEMORY_START is always 0 on 64-bit.) CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
/proc/powerpc/lparcfg is an ancient facility (though still actively used) which allows access to some informations relative to the partition when running underneath a PAPR compliant hypervisor. It makes no sense on non-pseries machines. However, currently, not only can it be created on these if the kernel has pseries support, but accessing it on such a machine will crash due to trying to do hypervisor calls. In fact, it should also not do HV calls on older pseries that didn't have an hypervisor either. Finally, it has the plumbing to be a module but is a "bool" Kconfig option. This fixes the whole lot by turning it into a machine_device_initcall that is only created on pseries, and adding the necessary hypervisor check before calling the H_GET_EM_PARMS hypercall CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

The swapaccount kernel parameter without any values has been removed by commit a2c8990a ("memsw: remove noswapaccount kernel parameter") but it seems that we didn't get rid of all the left overs. Make sure that menuconfig help text and kernel-parameters.txt are clear about value for the paramter and remove the stalled comment which is not very much useful on its own.
