linux-stable.git/arch/alpha/kernel, branch linux-3.5.y Linux kernel stable tree alpha: Add missing RCU idle APIs on idle loop 2012-10-12T20:47:19+00:00 Frederic Weisbecker fweisbec@gmail.com 2012-08-22T15:27:34+00:00 e5d9e90a357ea2c51ada251532eb931bd20c4153 commit 4c94cada48f7c660eca582be6032427a5e367117 upstream. In the old times, the whole idle task was considered as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical section have been added even in the code of some architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example. So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU in low power mode. This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in idle in order to complete grace periods. Add this missing pair of calls in the Alpha's idle loop. Reported-by: Paul E.

commit 4c94cada48f7c660eca582be6032427a5e367117 upstream.

In the old times, the whole idle task was considered
as an RCU quiescent state. But as RCU became more and
more successful overtime, some RCU read side critical
section have been added even in the code of some
architectures idle tasks, for tracing for example.

So nowadays, rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit() must
be called by the architecture to tell RCU about the part
in the idle loop that doesn't make use of rcu read side
critical sections, typically the part that puts the CPU
in low power mode.

This is necessary for RCU to find the quiescent states in
idle in order to complete grace periods.

Add this missing pair of calls in the Alpha's idle loop.

All architectures converted to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one). I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number + siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one, signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() - take one).

Pull second pile of signal handling patches from Al Viro:
 "This one is just task_work_add() series + remaining prereqs for it.

  There probably will be another pull request from that tree this
  cycle - at least for helpers, to get them out of the way for per-arch
  fixes remaining in the tree."

Fix trivial conflict in kernel/irq/manage.c: the merge of Andrew's pile
had brought in commit 97fd75b7b8e0 ("kernel/irq/manage.c: use the
pr_foo() infrastructure to prefix printks") which changed one of the
pr_err() calls that this merge moves around.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  keys: kill task_struct->replacement_session_keyring
  keys: kill the dummy key_replace_session_keyring()
  keys: change keyctl_session_to_parent() to use task_work_add()
  genirq: reimplement exit_irq_thread() hook via task_work_add()
  task_work_add: generic process-context callbacks
  avr32: missed _TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME on one of do_notify_resume callers
  parisc: need to check NOTIFY_RESUME when exiting from syscall
  move key_repace_session_keyring() into tracehook_notify_resume()
  TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is defined on all targets now
