Currently, rcu_irq_exit() is invoked only for CONFIG_NO_HZ, while rcu_irq_enter() is invoked unconditionally. This patch moves rcu_irq_exit() out from under CONFIG_NO_HZ so that the calls are balanced. This patch has no effect on the behavior of the kernel because both rcu_irq_enter() and rcu_irq_exit() are empty for !CONFIG_NO_HZ, but the code is easier to understand if the calls are obviously balanced in all cases.

This patch creates a synchronize_srcu_expedited() that uses synchronize_sched_expedited() where synchronize_srcu() uses synchronize_sched(). The synchronize_srcu() and synchronize_srcu_expedited() functions become one-liners that pass synchronize_sched() or synchronize_sched_expedited(), repectively, to a new __synchronize_srcu() function. While in the file, move the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()s to immediately follow the corresponding functions.

This patch is a version of RCU designed for !SMP provided for a small-footprint RCU implementation. In particular, the implementation of synchronize_rcu() is extremely lightweight and high performance. It passes rcutorture testing in each of the four relevant configurations (combinations of NO_HZ and PREEMPT) on x86. This saves about 1K bytes compared to old Classic RCU (which is no longer in mainline), and more than three kilobytes compared to Hierarchical RCU (updated to 2.6.30): CONFIG_TREE_RCU: text data bss dec filename 183 4 0 187 kernel/rcupdate.o 2783 520 36 3339 kernel/rcutree.o 3526 Total (vs 4565 for v7) CONFIG_TREE_PREEMPT_RCU: text data bss dec filename 263 4 0 267 kernel/rcupdate.o 4594 776 52 5422 kernel/rcutree.o 5689 Total (6155 for v7) CONFIG_TINY_RCU: text data bss dec filename 96 4 0 100 kernel/rcupdate.o 734 24 0 758 kernel/rcutiny.o 858 Total (vs 848 for v7) The above is for x86. Your mileage may vary on other platforms. Further compression is possible, but is being procrastinated. Changes from v7 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/9/388) o Apply Lai Jiangshan's review comments (aside from might_sleep() in synchronize_sched(), which is covered by SMP builds). o Fix up expedited primitives. Changes from v6 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/23/293). o Forward ported to put it into the 2.6.33 stream. o Added lockdep support. o Make lightweight rcu_barrier. Changes from v5 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/23/12). o Ported to latest pre-2.6.32 merge window kernel. - Renamed rcu_qsctr_inc() to rcu_sched_qs(). - Renamed rcu_bh_qsctr_inc() to rcu_bh_qs(). - Provided trivial rcu_cpu_notify(). - Provided trivial exit_rcu(). - Provided trivial rcu_needs_cpu(). - Fixed up the rcu_*_enter/exit() functions in linux/hardirq.h. o Removed the dependence on EMBEDDED, with a view to making TINY_RCU default for !SMP at some time in the future. o Added (trivial) support for expedited grace periods. Changes from v4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/2/91) include: o Squeeze the size down a bit further by removing the ->completed field from struct rcu_ctrlblk. o This permits synchronize_rcu() to become the empty function. Previous concerns about rcutorture were unfounded, as rcutorture correctly handles a constant value from rcu_batches_completed() and rcu_batches_completed_bh(). Changes from v3 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/29/221) include: o Changed rcu_batches_completed(), rcu_batches_completed_bh() rcu_enter_nohz(), rcu_exit_nohz(), rcu_nmi_enter(), and rcu_nmi_exit(), to be static inlines, as suggested by David Howells. Doing this saves about 100 bytes from rcutiny.o. (The numbers between v3 and this v4 of the patch are not directly comparable, since they are against different versions of Linux.) Changes from v2 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/3/333) include: o Fix whitespace issues. o Change short-circuit "||" operator to instead be "+" in order to fix performance bug noted by "kraai" on LWN. (http://lwn.net/Articles/324348/) Changes from v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/1/13/440) include: o This version depends on EMBEDDED as well as !SMP, as suggested by Ingo. o Updated rcu_needs_cpu() to unconditionally return zero, permitting the CPU to enter dynticks-idle mode at any time. This works because callbacks can be invoked upon entry to dynticks-idle mode. o Paul is now OK with this being included, based on a poll at the Kernel Miniconf at linux.conf.au, where about ten people said that they cared about saving 900 bytes on single-CPU systems. o Applies to both mainline and tip/core/rcu.

For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU and to synchronize_sched_expedited() for TREE_RCU. Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably more complex and intrusive. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

As the number of callbacks on a given CPU rises, invoke force_quiescent_state() only every blimit number of callbacks (defaults to 10,000), and even then only if no other CPU has invoked force_quiescent_state() in the meantime.

If userspace tries to perform a requeue_pi on a non-requeue_pi waiter, it will find the futex_q->requeue_pi_key to be NULL and OOPS. Check for NULL in match_futex() instead of doing explicit NULL pointer checks on all call sites. While match_futex(NULL, NULL) returning false is a little odd, it's still correct as we expect valid key references.

The futex code does not handle spurious wake up in futex_wait and futex_wait_requeue_pi. The code assumes that any wake up which was not caused by futex_wake / requeue or by a timeout was caused by a signal wake up and returns one of the syscall restart error codes. In case of a spurious wake up the signal delivery code which deals with the restart error codes is not invoked and we return that error code to user space. That causes applications which actually check the return codes to fail. Blaise reported that on preempt-rt a python test program run into a exception trap. -rt exposed that due to a built in spurious wake up accelerator :) Solve this by checking signal_pending(current) in the wake up path and handle the spurious wake up case w/o returning to user space.

A race shouldn't happen since all workqueues or handlers are canceled or flushed before the event buffer is freed. A warning is triggered now if the buffer is freed too early. Also, this patch adds some comments about event buffer protection, reworks some code and adds code to clear buffer_pos during alloc and free of the event buffer.

Looking at the 2.6.31-rc9 code, it appears there is a race condition in the event_buffer cleanup code path (shutdown). This could lead to kernel panic as some CPUs may be operating on the event buffer AFTER it has been freed. The attached patch solves the problem and makes sure CPUs check if the buffer is not NULL before they access it as some may have been spinning on the mutex while the buffer was being freed. The race may happen if the buffer is freed during pending reads. But it is not clear why there are races in add_event_entry() since all workqueues or handlers are canceled or flushed before the event buffer is freed.

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using iwlagn. It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible. The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that: 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up. I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec range.

When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu D-caches which can have aliases. Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace and vice versa. If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is shared of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with D-cache aliasing matters. The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node(). All existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior. vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment. As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems. Signed-off-by: David S.
