profile: setup_profiling_timer() is moslty not implemented

2022-07-30T01:12:36+00:00

The setup_profiling_timer() is mostly un-implemented by many
architectures.  In many places it isn't guarded by CONFIG_PROFILE which is
needed for it to be used.  Make it a weak symbol in kernel/profile.c and
remove the 'return -EINVAL' implementations from the kenrel.

There are a couple of architectures which do return 0 from the
setup_profiling_timer() function but they don't seem to do anything else
with it.  To keep the /proc compatibility for now, leave these for a
future update or removal.

On ARM, this fixes the following sparse warning:
arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:793:5: warning: symbol 'setup_profiling_timer' was not declared. Should it be static?

parisc: Find a new timesync master if current CPU is removed

2022-03-29T19:37:13+00:00

When CPU hotplugging is enabled, the user may want to remove the
current CPU which is providing the timer ticks. If this happens
we need to find a new timesync master.

parisc: Implement __cpu_die() and __cpu_disable() for CPU hotplugging

2022-03-29T19:37:12+00:00

Add relevant code to __cpu_die() and __cpu_disable() to finally enable
the CPU hotplugging features. Reset the irq count values in smp_callin()
to zero before bringing up the CPU.

It seems that the firmware may need up to 8 seconds to fully stop a CPU
in which no other PDC calls are allowed to be made. Use a timeout
__cpu_die() to accommodate for this.

Use "chcpu -d 1" to bring CPU1 down, and "chcpu -e 1" to bring it up.

parisc: move CPU field back into thread_info

2021-11-04T10:21:47+00:00

In commit 2214c0e77259 ("parisc: Move thread_info into task struct")
PA-RISC gained support for THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK while changes were
already underway to keep the CPU field in thread_info rather than move
it into task_struct when THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK is enabled. The result is a
broken build for all PA-RISC configs that enable SMP.

So let's partially revert that commit, and get rid of the ugly hack to
get at the offset of task_struct::cpu without having to include
linux/sched.h, and put the CPU field back where it was before.

parisc/kgdb: add kgdb_roundup() to make kgdb work with idle polling

2021-11-01T06:35:59+00:00

With idle polling, IPIs are not sent when a CPU idle, but queued
and run later from do_idle(). The default kgdb_call_nmi_hook()
implementation gets the pointer to struct pt_regs from get_irq_reqs(),
which doesn't work in that case because it was not called from the
IPI interrupt handler. Fix it by defining our own kgdb_roundup()
function which sents an IPI_ENTER_KGDB. When that IPI is received
on the target CPU kgdb_nmicallback() is called.

parisc: Move thread_info into task struct

2021-11-01T06:35:59+00:00

This implements the CONFIG_THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK option.

With this change:
- before thread_info was part of the stack and located at the beginning of the stack
- now the thread_info struct is moved and located inside the task_struct structure
- the stack is allocated and handled like the major other platforms
- drop the cpu field of thread_info and use instead the one in task_struct

sched/core: Initialize the idle task with preemption disabled

2021-05-12T11:01:45+00:00

As pointed out by commit

  de9b8f5dcbd9 ("sched: Fix crash trying to dequeue/enqueue the idle thread")

init_idle() can and will be invoked more than once on the same idle
task. At boot time, it is invoked for the boot CPU thread by
sched_init(). Then smp_init() creates the threads for all the secondary
CPUs and invokes init_idle() on them.

As the hotplug machinery brings the secondaries to life, it will issue
calls to idle_thread_get(), which itself invokes init_idle() yet again.
In this case it's invoked twice more per secondary: at _cpu_up(), and at
bringup_cpu().

Given smp_init() already initializes the idle tasks for all *possible*
CPUs, no further initialization should be required. Now, removing
init_idle() from idle_thread_get() exposes some interesting expectations
with regards to the idle task's preempt_count: the secondary startup always
issues a preempt_disable(), requiring some reset of the preempt count to 0
between hot-unplug and hotplug, which is currently served by
idle_thread_get() -> idle_init().

Given the idle task is supposed to have preemption disabled once and never
see it re-enabled, it seems that what we actually want is to initialize its
preempt_count to PREEMPT_DISABLED and leave it there. Do that, and remove
init_idle() from idle_thread_get().

Secondary startups were patched via coccinelle:

  -preempt_disable();
  ...
  cpu_startup_entry(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_IDLE);

mm: remove unneeded includes of

2020-08-07T18:33:26+00:00

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of "

Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table.  These patches add
generic versions of these functions in  and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.

In addition, functions declared and defined in  headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the  included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of


In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to  would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.

This patch (of 8):

In most cases  header is required only for allocations of
page table memory.  Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in  and do not require that header.

As for the other header files that used to include , it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from  and drop the include from the header file.

The process was somewhat automated using

	sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
                $(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
                        $(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))

where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.
