kbuild: mark $(targets) as .SECONDARY and remove .PRECIOUS markers

2018-04-07T10:04:02+00:00

GNU Make automatically deletes intermediate files that are updated
in a chain of pattern rules.

Example 1) %.dtb.o <- %.dtb.S <- %.dtb <- %.dts
Example 2) %.o <- %.c <- %.c_shipped

A couple of makefiles mark such targets as .PRECIOUS to prevent Make
from deleting them, but the correct way is to use .SECONDARY.

  .SECONDARY
    Prerequisites of this special target are treated as intermediate
    files but are never automatically deleted.

  .PRECIOUS
    When make is interrupted during execution, it may delete the target
    file it is updating if the file was modified since make started.
    If you mark the file as precious, make will never delete the file
    if interrupted.

Both can avoid deletion of intermediate files, but the difference is
the behavior when Make is interrupted; .SECONDARY deletes the target,
but .PRECIOUS does not.

The use of .PRECIOUS is relatively rare since we do not want to keep
partially constructed (possibly corrupted) targets.

Another difference is that .PRECIOUS works with pattern rules whereas
.SECONDARY does not.

  .PRECIOUS: $(obj)/%.lex.c

works, but

  .SECONDARY: $(obj)/%.lex.c

has no effect.  However, for the reason above, I do not want to use
.PRECIOUS which could cause obscure build breakage.

The targets specified as .SECONDARY must be explicit.  $(targets)
contains all targets that need to include .*.cmd files.  So, the
intermediates you want to keep are mostly in there.  Therefore, mark
$(targets) as .SECONDARY.  It means primary targets are also marked
as .SECONDARY, but I do not see any drawback for this.

I replaced some .SECONDARY / .PRECIOUS markers with 'targets'.  This
will make Kbuild search for non-existing .*.cmd files, but this is
not a noticeable performance issue.

mm: fix races between swapoff and flush dcache

2018-04-06T04:36:26+00:00

Thanks to commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB
trunks"), after swapoff the address_space associated with the swap
device will be freed.  So page_mapping() users which may touch the
address_space need some kind of mechanism to prevent the address_space
from being freed during accessing.

The dcache flushing functions (flush_dcache_page(), etc) in architecture
specific code may access the address_space of swap device for anonymous
pages in swap cache via page_mapping() function.  But in some cases
there are no mechanisms to prevent the swap device from being swapoff,
for example,

  CPU1					CPU2
  __get_user_pages()			swapoff()
    flush_dcache_page()
      mapping = page_mapping()
        ...				  exit_swap_address_space()
        ...				    kvfree(spaces)
        mapping_mapped(mapping)

The address space may be accessed after being freed.

But from cachetlb.txt and Russell King, flush_dcache_page() only care
about file cache pages, for anonymous pages, flush_anon_page() should be
used.  The implementation of flush_dcache_page() in all architectures
follows this too.  They will check whether page_mapping() is NULL and
whether mapping_mapped() is true to determine whether to flush the
dcache immediately.  And they will use interval tree (mapping->i_mmap)
to find all user space mappings.  While mapping_mapped() and
mapping->i_mmap isn't used by anonymous pages in swap cache at all.

So, to fix the race between swapoff and flush dcache, __page_mapping()
is add to return the address_space for file cache pages and NULL
otherwise.  All page_mapping() invoking in flush dcache functions are
replaced with page_mapping_file().

ARC: setup cpu possible mask according to possible-cpus dts property

2018-02-28T18:45:32+00:00

As we have option in u-boot to set CPU mask for running linux,
we want to pass information to kernel about CPU cores should
be brought up. So we patch kernel dtb in u-boot to set
possible-cpus property.

This also allows us to have correctly setuped MCIP debug mask.

ARC: mcip: update MCIP debug mask when the new cpu came online

2018-02-28T18:45:31+00:00

As of today we use hardcoded MCIP debug mask, so if we launch
kernel via debugger and kick fever cores than HW has all cpus
hang at the momemt of setup MCIP debug mask.

So update MCIP debug mask when the new cpu came online, instead of
use hardcoded MCIP debug mask.

ARC: mcip: halt GFRC counter when ARC cores halt

2018-02-28T18:45:31+00:00

In SMP systems, GFRC is used for clocksource. However by default the
counter keeps running even when core is halted (say when debugging via a
JTAG debugger). This confuses Linux timekeeping and triggers flase RCU stall
splat such as below:

| [ARCLinux]# while true; do ./shm_open_23-1.run-test ; done
| Running with 1000 processes for 1000 objects
| hrtimer: interrupt took 485060 ns
|
| create_cnt: 1000
| Running with 1000 processes for 1000 objects
| [ARCLinux]# INFO: rcu_preempt self-detected stall on CPU

|	(detected by 1, t=13648 jiffies, g=31493, c=31492, q=1)

Starting from ARC HS v3.0 it's possible to tie GFRC to state of up-to 4
ARC cores with help of GFRC's CORE register where we set a mask for
cores which state we need to rely on.

We update cpu mask every time new cpu came online instead of using
hardcoded one or using mask generated from "possible_cpus" as we
want it set correctly even if we run kernel on HW which has fewer cores
than expected (or we launch kernel via debugger and kick fever cores
than HW has)

Note that GFRC halts when all cores have halted and thus relies on
programming of Inter-Core-dEbug register to halt all cores when one
halts.
