12 years agopoll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions
Hans Verkuil [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:27 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions

In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for.  An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested.  This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem among others.

Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably.  The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask.  But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table pointer.

Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead
of using the requested events mask.

This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual
events that should be polled for as set by the caller.

The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to
NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table
pointer itself.  That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new
poll_requested_events inline.

The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h).  In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e.  all events).

Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually
wait.  If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the
events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the
select() call without waiting.  This might be useful information in order
to avoid doing expensive work.

A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use
to detect this situation.  This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in
include/net/sock.h.  This was the only place in the kernel that needed
this information.

Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use
the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions
instead.  In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended
with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them
directly.

This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used
the key field to get the requested events.  It's been replaced by a call
to poll_requested_events().

For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the
behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer
can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past.

Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile.

Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll()
function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument.  This
pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or
the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in
the select()'s fdset matched the requested events.

There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument:

1) obtain the key field:

events = wait ? wait->key : ~0;

   This will still work although it should be replaced with the new
   poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same).
   This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL
   unnecessarily.

2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be
   NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no
   kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW.

3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without
   waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now
   wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL.

   However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in
   the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the
   driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set
   of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that
   since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though.

   There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens
   (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced
   by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch.

   Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait()
   actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the
   event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

12 years agocrc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces
Bob Pearson [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:02:21 +0000 (15:02 -0700)]
crc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces

This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out
a software crc32c implementation.  It removes the crc32c implementation
in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/.  There is also
a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an
implementation best suited for the hardware.

The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full
metadata checksumming to ext4.  As far as performance impact of adding
checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server
ffsb simulation.  On a test that involves only file creation and
deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with
the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of
about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code.

When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new
implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small
fraction of total IO.  However, when we are doing IO that is almost all
metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the
operation substantially.

Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this
patchset should improve their speed as well.  I have not yet quantified
that, however.  This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late
August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set.
Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been
advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead.  :/

Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on
a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms.  The results can be
viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c"
columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and
crc32c software implementations.  The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows
crc32c performance with this patchset applied.  I expect crc32
performance to be roughly the same.

The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much
faster the new implementation is over the old one.  As you can see, crc32
rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase.

This patch:

- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32.c
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32defs.h

and blue.  Pattern(s) of each channel and numbers of pattern(s) are
defined in the pla= tform data.  Pattern data are hexa codes which
include pattern commands such like set pwm, wait, ramp up/down, branch
and so on.

Pattern mode functions:
 * lp5521_clear_program_memory
Before running new led pattern, program memory should be cleared.
 * lp5521_write_program_memory
Pattern data updated in the program memory via the i2c.
 * lp5521_get_pattern
Get pattern from predefined in the platform data.
 * lp5521_run_led_pattern
Stop current pattern or run new pattern.
Transition time is required between different operation mode.

Device attribute - 'led_pattern': To load specific led pattern, new device
attribute is added.

When the lp5521 driver is unloaded, stop current led pattern mode.

The value of CONFIG register(Addr 08h) is configurable.  For supporting
this feature, update_config is added in the platform data.  If
'update_config' is not defined, the default value is 'LP5521_PWRSAVE_EN |

12 years agowatchdog: make sure the watchdog thread gets CPU on loaded system
Michal Hocko [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:01:55 +0000 (15:01 -0700)]
watchdog: make sure the watchdog thread gets CPU on loaded system

If the system is loaded while hotplugging a CPU we might end up with a
bogus hardlockup detection.  This has been seen during LTP pounder test
executed in parallel with hotplug test.

The main problem is that enable_watchdog (called when CPU is brought up)
registers perf event which periodically checks per-cpu counter
(hrtimer_interrupts), updated from a hrtimer callback, but the hrtimer
is fired from the kernel thread.

This means that while we already do check for the hard lockup the kernel
thread might be sitting on the runqueue with zillions of tasks so there
is nobody to update the value we rely on and so we KABOOM.

Let's fix this by boosting the watchdog thread priority before we wake
it up rather than when it's already running.  This still doesn't handle
a case where we have the same amount of high prio FIFO tasks but that
doesn't seem to be common.  The current implementation doesn't handle
that case anyway so this is not worse at least.

Unfortunately, we cannot start perf counter from the watchdog thread
because we could miss a real lock up and also we cannot start the
hrtimer watchdog_enable because we there is no way (at least I don't
know any) to start a hrtimer from a different CPU.

kernel/exit.c: if init dies, log a signal which killed it, if any

I just received another user's pleas for help when their init

died because of bad instruction, a segv, or something else.  Which was

_was_ /bin/sh.

Which prompted me to make kernel do this first step automatically.  We can
print exit code, which makes it possible to see that death was from e.g.
SIGILL without writing test programs.

12 years agoprctl: add PR_{SET,GET}_CHILD_SUBREAPER to allow simple process supervision
Lennart Poettering [Fri, 23 Mar 2012 22:01:54 +0000 (15:01 -0700)]
prctl: add PR_{SET,GET}_CHILD_SUBREAPER to allow simple process supervision

Userspace service managers/supervisors need to track their started
services.  Many services daemonize by double-forking and get implicitly
re-parented to PID 1.  The service manager will no longer be able to
receive the SIGCHLD signals for them, and is no longer in charge of
reaping the children with wait().  All information about the children is
lost at the moment PID 1 cleans up the re-parented processes.

With this prctl, a service manager process can mark itself as a sort of
'sub-init', able to stay as the parent for all orphaned processes
created by the started services.  All SIGCHLD signals will be delivered
to the service manager.

Receiving SIGCHLD and doing wait() is in cases of a service-manager much
preferred over any possible asynchronous notification about specific
PIDs, because the service manager has full access to the child process
data in /proc and the PID can not be re-used until the wait(), the
service-manager itself is in charge of, has happened.

As a side effect, the relevant parent PID information does not get lost
by a double-fork, which results in a more elaborate process tree and
'ps' output:

before:
  # ps afx
  253 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/dbus-daemon --system --nofork

  977 ?        Sl     0:00  \_ /usr/libexec/packagekitd

This prctl is orthogonal to PID namespaces.  PID namespaces are isolated
from each other, while a service management process usually requires the
services to live in the same namespace, to be able to talk to each
other.

Users of this will be the systemd per-user instance, which provides
init-like functionality for the user's login session and D-Bus, which
activates bus services on-demand.  Both need init-like capabilities to
be able to properly keep track of the services they start.

Many thanks to Oleg for several rounds of review and insights.

     other for logging and debugging purposes.

   - Support the 'vers=4.1' mount option for mounting NFSv4.1 instead of

     Start the process of adding tracepoints in order to improve

     fail to wake up all tasks when applied to priority waitqueues.
