genirq: Prevent chip buslock deadlock

2016-03-03T23:06:47+00:00

commit abc7e40c81d113ef4bacb556f0a77ca63ac81d85 upstream.

If a interrupt chip utilizes chip->buslock then free_irq() can
deadlock in the following way:

CPU0				CPU1
				interrupt(X) (Shared or spurious)
free_irq(X)			interrupt_thread(X)
chip_bus_lock(X)
				   irq_finalize_oneshot(X)
				     chip_bus_lock(X)
synchronize_irq(X)

synchronize_irq() waits for the interrupt thread to complete,
i.e. forever.

Solution is simple: Drop chip_bus_lock() before calling
synchronize_irq() as we do with the irq_desc lock. There is nothing to
be protected after the point where irq_desc lock has been released.

This adds chip_bus_lock/unlock() to the remove_irq() code path, but
that's actually correct in the case where remove_irq() is called on
such an interrupt. The current users of remove_irq() are not affected
as none of those interrupts is on a chip which requires buslock.

genirq: Fix race in register_irq_proc()

2015-10-22T21:39:22+00:00

commit 95c2b17534654829db428f11bcf4297c059a2a7e upstream.

Per-IRQ directories in procfs are created only when a handler is first
added to the irqdesc, not when the irqdesc is created.  In the case of
a shared IRQ, multiple tasks can race to create a directory.  This
race condition seems to have been present forever, but is easier to
hit with async probing.

genirq: Prevent resend to interrupts marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD

2015-08-10T19:21:04+00:00

commit 75a06189fc508a2acf470b0b12710362ffb2c4b1 upstream.

The resend mechanism happily calls the interrupt handler of interrupts
which are marked IRQ_NESTED_THREAD from softirq context. This can
result in crashes because the interrupt handler is not the proper way
to invoke the device handlers. They must be invoked via
handle_nested_irq.

Prevent the resend even if the interrupt has no valid parent irq
set. Its better to have a lost interrupt than a crashing machine.

genirq: devres: Fix testing return value of request_any_context_irq()

2015-08-03T16:29:51+00:00

commit 63781394c540dd9e666a6b21d70b64dd52bce76e upstream.

request_any_context_irq() returns a negative value on failure.
It returns either IRQC_IS_HARDIRQ or IRQC_IS_NESTED on success.
So fix testing return value of request_any_context_irq().

Also fixup the return value of devm_request_any_context_irq() to make it
consistent with request_any_context_irq().

genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptors

2015-01-27T16:18:55+00:00

commit c291ee622165cb2c8d4e7af63fffd499354a23be upstream.

Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the
unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc
interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt
descriptor.

CPU0				CPU1
				show_interrupts()
				  desc = irq_to_desc(X);
free_desc(desc)
  remove_from_radix_tree();
  kfree(desc);
				  raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock);

/proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt
kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed
memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible.

The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the
removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent
readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed.

For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue
as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq
descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see
the old correct value or the cleared out ones.

Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in
show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock.

Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access
with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it.

Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the
caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these
interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already
protected against removal.

genirq: Sanitize spurious interrupt detection of threaded irqs

2014-07-01T03:12:00+00:00

commit 1e77d0a1ed7417d2a5a52a7b8d32aea1833faa6c upstream.

Till reported that the spurious interrupt detection of threaded
interrupts is broken in two ways:

- note_interrupt() is called for each action thread of a shared
  interrupt line. That's wrong as we are only interested whether none
  of the device drivers felt responsible for the interrupt, but by
  calling multiple times for a single interrupt line we account
  IRQ_NONE even if one of the drivers felt responsible.

- note_interrupt() when called from the thread handler is not
  serialized. That leaves the members of irq_desc which are used for
  the spurious detection unprotected.

To solve this we need to defer the spurious detection of a threaded
interrupt to the next hardware interrupt context where we have
implicit serialization.

If note_interrupt is called with action_ret == IRQ_WAKE_THREAD, we
check whether the previous interrupt requested a deferred check. If
not, we request a deferred check for the next hardware interrupt and
return.

If set, we check whether one of the interrupt threads signaled
success. Depending on this information we feed the result into the
spurious detector.

If one primary handler of a shared interrupt returns IRQ_HANDLED we
disable the deferred check of irq threads on the same line, as we have
found at least one device driver who cared.

genirq: Allow forcing cpu affinity of interrupts

2014-06-07T17:28:08+00:00

commit 01f8fa4f01d8362358eb90e412bd7ae18a3ec1ad upstream.

The current implementation of irq_set_affinity() refuses rightfully to
route an interrupt to an offline cpu.

But there is a special case, where this is actually desired. Some of
the ARM SoCs have per cpu timers which require setting the affinity
during cpu startup where the cpu is not yet in the online mask.

If we can't do that, then the local timer interrupt for the about to
become online cpu is routed to some random online cpu.

The developers of the affected machines tried to work around that
issue, but that results in a massive mess in that timer code.

We have a yet unused argument in the set_affinity callbacks of the irq
chips, which I added back then for a similar reason. It was never
required so it got not used. But I'm happy that I never removed it.

That allows us to implement a sane handling of the above scenario. So
the affected SoC drivers can add the required force handling to their
interrupt chip, switch the timer code to irq_force_affinity() and
things just work.

This does not affect any existing user of irq_set_affinity().

Tagged for stable to allow a simple fix of the affected SoC clock
event drivers.

genirq: Include missing header file in irqdomain.c

Include appropriate header file include/linux/of_irq.h in
kernel/irq/irqdomain.c because it contains prototype definition of
function define in kernel/irq/irqdomain.c.

This eliminates the following warning in kernel/irq/irqdomain.c:

genirq: Remove racy waitqueue_active check

2014-02-27T09:54:16+00:00

We hit one rare case below:

T1 calling disable_irq(), but hanging at synchronize_irq()
always;
The corresponding irq thread is in sleeping state;
And all CPUs are in idle state;

After analysis, we found there is one possible scenerio which
causes T1 is waiting there forever:
CPU0                                       CPU1
 synchronize_irq()
  wait_event()
    spin_lock()
                                           atomic_dec_and_test(&threads_active)
      insert the __wait into queue
    spin_unlock()
                                           if(waitqueue_active)
    atomic_read(&threads_active)
                                             wake_up()

Here after inserted the __wait into queue on CPU0, and before
test if queue is empty on CPU1, there is no barrier, it maybe
cause it is not visible for CPU1 immediately, although CPU0 has
updated the queue list.
It is similar for CPU0 atomic_read() threads_active also.

So we'd need one smp_mb() before waitqueue_active.that, but removing
the waitqueue_active() check solves it as wel l and it makes
things simple and clear.

Pull irq update from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Fix from the urgent branch: a trivial oneliner adding the missing
  Kconfig dependency curing build failures which have been discovered by
  several build robots.

  The update in the irq-core branch provides a new function in the
  irq/devres code, which is a prerequisite for driver developers to get
  rid of boilerplate code all over the place.

  Not a bugfix, but it has zero impact on the current kernel due to the
  lack of users.  It's simpler to provide the infrastructure to
  interested parties via your tree than fulfilling the wishlist of
  driver maintainers on which particular commit or tag this should be
  based on"
