sparc32, leon: Remove separate "ticker" timer for SMP

2013-06-19T09:10:29+00:00

This reduces the need from two timers to one timer.

Moreover, without this patch, when the "ticker" timer triggers timer_cs_read via
tick_periodic it reads the value of the usual timer it can get an wrapped timer
value without timer_cs_internal_counter having been updated leading to the clock
going backwards. This effectively hangs one cpu that gets stuck in
update_wall_time with an offset slightly smaller than 0xffffffffffffffff.

  this went through a number of review and test iterations before it was
  committed, it was tested on various architectures, was exposed to

  on architectures that don't read the mailing lists and don't regularly
  test linux-next.

  This cat herding excercise was motivated by the -rt kernel, and was
  brought to you by Thomas "the Whip" Gleixner."

mm/hugetlb: add more arch-defined huge_pte functions

2013-04-29T22:54:33+00:00

Commit abf09bed3cce ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits")
introduced another difference in the pte layout vs.  the pmd layout on
s390, thoroughly breaking the s390 support for hugetlbfs.  This requires
replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a
huge_pte_xxx version.

This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic
implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on
all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390.  This change
will be a no-op for those architectures.

sparc64: Fix race in TLB batch processing.

2013-04-19T21:26:26+00:00

As reported by Dave Kleikamp, when we emit cross calls to do batched
TLB flush processing we have a race because we do not synchronize on
the sibling cpus completing the cross call.

So meanwhile the TLB batch can be reset (tb->tlb_nr set to zero, etc.)
and either flushes are missed or flushes will flush the wrong
addresses.

Fix this by using generic infrastructure to synchonize on the
completion of the cross call.

This first required getting the flush_tlb_pending() call out from
switch_to() which operates with locks held and interrupts disabled.
The problem is that smp_call_function_many() cannot be invoked with
IRQs disabled and this is explicitly checked for with WARN_ON_ONCE().

We get the batch processing outside of locked IRQ disabled sections by
using some ideas from the powerpc port. Namely, we only batch inside
of arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() calls.  If we're not in such a
region, we flush TLBs synchronously.

1) Get rid of xcall_flush_tlb_pending and per-cpu type
   implementations.

2) Do TLB batch cross calls instead via:

	smp_call_function_many()
		tlb_pending_func()
			__flush_tlb_pending()

3) Batch only in lazy mmu sequences:

	a) Add 'active' member to struct tlb_batch
	b) Define __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE
	c) Set 'active' in arch_enter_lazy_mmu_mode()
	d) Run batch and clear 'active' in arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode()
	e) Check 'active' in tlb_batch_add_one() and do a synchronous
           flush if it's clear.

4) Add infrastructure for synchronous TLB page flushes.

	a) Implement __flush_tlb_page and per-cpu variants, patch
	   as needed.
	b) Likewise for xcall_flush_tlb_page.
	c) Implement smp_flush_tlb_page() to invoke the cross-call.
	d) Wire up global_flush_tlb_page() to the right routine based
           upon CONFIG_SMP

5) It turns out that singleton batches are very common, 2 out of every
   3 batch flushes have only a single entry in them.

   The batch flush waiting is very expensive, both because of the poll
   on sibling cpu completeion, as well as because passing the tlb batch
   pointer to the sibling cpus invokes a shared memory dereference.

   Therefore, in flush_tlb_pending(), if there is only one entry in
   the batch perform a completely asynchronous global_flush_tlb_page()
   instead.

sparc64: Do not save/restore interrupts in get_new_mmu_context()

2013-04-09T02:50:47+00:00

get_new_mmu_context() is always called with interrupts disabled.
So it's possible to do this micro optimization.

(Also fix the comment to switch_mm, which is called in both cases)
