Currently, only GPIOs in the wakeup domain (GPIOs in bank 0) are
enabled as wakups. This patch also enables GPIOs in the PER
powerdomain (banks 2-6) to be used as possible wakeup sources.
In addition, this patch ensures that all GPIO wakeups can wakeup
the MPU using the PM_MPUGRPSEL_<pwrdm> registers.
NOTE: this doesn't enable the individual GPIOs as wakeups, this simply
enables the per-bank wakeups at the powerdomain level.
This problem was discovered by Mike Chan when preventing the CORE
powerdomain from going into retention/off. When CORE was allowed to
hit retention, GPIO wakeups via IO pad were working fine, but when
CORE remained on, GPIO module-level wakeups were not working properly.
To test, prevent CORE from going inactive/retention/off, thus
preventing the IO chain from being armed:
# echo 3 > /debug/pm_debug/core_pwrdm/suspend
This ensures that GPIO wakeups happen via module-level wakeups and
not via IO pad.
Tested on 3430SDP using the touchscreen GPIO (gpio 2, in WKUP)
Tested on Zoom2 using the QUART interrup GPIO (gpio 102, in PER)

handler to react to these, or these other interrupts should be masked

PM_WKST register contents should be ANDed with the contents of the
MPUGRPSEL registers. Otherwise the MPU PRCM interrupt handler could
wind up clearing wakeup events meant for the IVA PRCM interrupt
handler. A future revision to this code should be to read a cached
version of MPUGRPSEL from the powerdomain code, since PRM reads are
relatively slow.

There are two scenarios where a race condition could result in a hang
in the prcm_interrupt handler. These are:
1). Waiting for PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU register to clear.
Bit 0 of the PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU register indicates that a wake-up event
is pending for the MPU. This bit can only be cleared if the all the
wake-up events latched in the various PM_WKST_x registers have been
cleared. If a wake-up event occurred during the processing of the prcm
interrupt handler, after the corresponding PM_WKST_x register was
checked but before the PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU was cleared, then the CPU
would be stuck forever waiting for bit 0 in PRM_IRQSTATUS_MPU to be
cleared.
2). Waiting for the PM_WKST_x register to clear.
Some power domains have more than one wake-up source. The PM_WKST_x
registers indicate the source of a wake-up event and need to be cleared
after a wake-up event occurs. When the PM_WKST_x registers are read and
before they are cleared, it is possible that another wake-up event
could occur causing another bit to be set in one of the PM_WKST_x
registers. If this did occur after reading a PM_WKST_x register then
the CPU would miss this event and get stuck forever in a loop waiting
for that PM_WKST_x register to clear.
This patch address the above race conditions that would result in a
hang.

According to the following in arch/arm/mm/fault.c page faults from
kernel mode are invalid if mmap_sem is already held and there is
no exception handler defined for the faulting instruction:
/*
* As per x86, we may deadlock here. However, since the kernel only
* validly references user space from well defined areas of the code,
* we can bug out early if this is from code which shouldn't.
*/
if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) {
if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->ARM_pc))
goto no_context;
Since mmap_sem can be held at arbitrary times by another thread this
also means that any page faults from kernel mode are invalid if no
exception handler is defined for them, regardless whether mmap_sem is
held at the time of fault.
To easier detect code that can trigger the above error, add a check
also for the case where mmap_sem is acquired. As this has an overhead
make it a VM debug check.

Resolve this by flushing the user mapping before copying the page
on processors with a writeback VIVT cache.
Note: this does have a performance impact, and so needs further
consideration before being merged - can we optimize out some of
the cache flushes if, eg, we know that the page isn't yet mapped?

While creating the reiserfs workqueue during the journal
initialization, we are holding the reiserfs lock, but
create_workqueue() also holds the cpu_add_remove_lock, creating
then the following dependency:
- reiserfs lock -> cpu_add_remove_lock
But we also have the following existing dependencies:
- mm->mmap_sem -> reiserfs lock
- cpu_add_remove_lock -> cpu_hotplug.lock -> slub_lock -> sysfs_mutex
The merged dependency chain then becomes:
- mm->mmap_sem -> reiserfs lock -> cpu_add_remove_lock ->
cpu_hotplug.lock -> slub_lock -> sysfs_mutex
But when we fill a dir entry in sysfs_readir(), we are holding the
sysfs_mutex and we also might fault while copying the directory entry
to the user, leading to the following dependency:
- sysfs_mutex -> mm->mmap_sem
The end result is then a lock inversion between sysfs_mutex and
mm->mmap_sem, as reported in the following lockdep warning:
[ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ]

which lock already depends on the new lock.
the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

-> #1 (&REISERFS_SB(s)->lock){+.+.+.}:

This can be fixed by relaxing the reiserfs lock while creating the
workqueue.
This is fine to relax the lock here, we just keep it around to pass
through reiserfs lock checks and for paranoid reasons.

The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions. This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.
The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up. The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.
The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.
This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
dedicated thread. It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
account threads being started by other procs.

With the prior logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of
possibly half a second off.
This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always
stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up
removing the xtime_cache related code.
This is a bit simpler, but still could use some wider testing.

Accumulating one tick at a time works well unless we're using NOHZ.
Then it can be an issue, since we may have to run through the loop
a few thousand times, which can increase timer interrupt caused
latency.
The current solution was to accumulate in half-second intervals
with NOHZ. This kept the number of loops down, however it did
slightly change how we make NTP adjustments. While not an issue
with NTPd users, as NTPd makes adjustments over a longer period of
time, other adjtimex() users have noticed the half-second
granularity with which we can apply frequency changes to the clock.
For instance, if a application tries to apply a 100ppm frequency
correction for 20ms to correct a 2us offset, with NOHZ they either
get no correction, or a 50us correction.
Now, there will always be some granularity error for applying
frequency corrections. However with users sensitive to this error
have seen a 50-500x increase with NOHZ compared to running without
NOHZ.
So I figured I'd try another approach then just simply increasing
the interval. My approach is to consume the time interval
logarithmically. This reduces the number of times through the loop
needed keeping latency down, while still preserving the original
granularity error for adjtimex() changes.
Further, this change allows us to remove the xtime_cache code
(patch to follow), as xtime is always within one tick of the
current time, instead of the half-second updates it saw before.
An earlier version of this patch has been shipping to x86 users in
the RedHat MRG releases for awhile without issue, but I've reworked
this version to be even more careful about avoiding possible
overflows if the shift value gets too large.

The following user-space program fails to compile:
#include <linux/socket.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
int main() { return 0; }
The reason is that <linux/socket.h> tests __GLIBC__ to decide whether it
should define various structures and macros that are now defined for
user-space by <sys/socket.h>, but __GLIBC__ is not defined if no libc
headers have yet been included.
It seems safe to drop support for libc 5 now.

We currently dirty a cache line to update tunnel device stats
(tx_packets/tx_bytes). We better use the txq->tx_bytes/tx_packets
counters that already are present in cpu cache, in the cache
line shared with txq->_xmit_lock
This patch extends IPTUNNEL_XMIT() macro to use txq pointer
provided by the caller.
Also &tunnel->dev->stats can be replaced by &dev->stats

The FIB algorithim for IPV4 is set at compile time, but kernel goes through
the overhead of function call indirection at runtime. Save some
cycles by turning the indirect calls to direct calls to either
hash or trie code.

Add Ancilliary data to better represent loss information
I've had a few requests recently to provide more detail regarding frame loss
during an AF_PACKET packet capture session. Specifically the requestors want to
see where in a packet sequence frames were lost, i.e. they want to see that 40
frames were lost between frames 302 and 303 in a packet capture file. In order
to do this we need:
1) The kernel to export this data to user space
2) The applications to make use of it
This patch addresses item (1). It does this by doing the following:
A) Anytime we drop a frame for which we would increment po->stats.tp_drops, we
also no increment a stats called po->stats.tp_gap.
B) Every time we successfully enqueue a frame to sk_receive_queue, we record the
value of po->stats.tp_gap in skb->mark. skb->cb would nominally be the place to
record this, but since all the space there is used up, we're overloading
skb->mark. Its safe to do since any enqueued packet is guaranteed to be
unshared at this point, and skb->mark isn't used for anything else in the rx
path to the application. After we record tp_gap in the skb, we zero
po->stats.tp_gap. This allows us to keep a counter of the number of frames lost
between any two enqueued packets
C) When the application goes to dequeue a frame from the packet socket, we look
at skb->mark for that frame. If it is non-zero, we add a cmsg chunk to the
msghdr of level SOL_PACKET and type PACKET_GAPDATA. Its a 32 bit integer that
represents the number of frames lost between this packet and the last previous
frame received.
Note there is a chance that if there is frame loss after a receive, and then the
socket is closed, some gap data might be lost. This is covered by the use of
the PACKET_AUXDATA socket option, which gives total loss data. With a bit of
math, the final gap can be determined that way.
I've tested this patch myself, and it works well.
