f06febc96b timers: fix itimer/many thread hang
Overview

This patch reworks the handling of POSIX CPU timers, including the
ITIMER_PROF, ITIMER_VIRT timers and rlimit handling.  It was put together
with the help of Roland McGrath, the owner and original writer of this code.

The problem we ran into, and the reason for this rework, has to do with using
a profiling timer in a process with a large number of threads.  It appears
that the performance of the old implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() was
at least O(n*3) (where "n" is the number of threads in a process) or worse.
Everything is fine with an increasing number of threads until the time taken
for that routine to run becomes the same as or greater than the tick time, at
which point things degrade rather quickly.

This patch fixes bug 9906, "Weird hang with NPTL and SIGPROF."

Code Changes

This rework corrects the implementation of run_posix_cpu_timers() to make it
run in constant time for a particular machine.  (Performance may vary between
one machine and another depending upon whether the kernel is built as single-
or multiprocessor and, in the latter case, depending upon the number of
running processors.)  To do this, at each tick we now update fields in
signal_struct as well as task_struct.  The run_posix_cpu_timers() function
uses those fields to make its decisions.

We define a new structure, "task_cputime," to contain user, system and
scheduler times and use these in appropriate places:

struct task_cputime {
	cputime_t utime;
	cputime_t stime;
	unsigned long long sum_exec_runtime;
};

This is included in the structure "thread_group_cputime," which is a new
substructure of signal_struct and which varies for uniprocessor versus
multiprocessor kernels.  For uniprocessor kernels, it uses "task_cputime" as
a simple substructure, while for multiprocessor kernels it is a pointer:

struct thread_group_cputime {
	struct task_cputime totals;
};

struct thread_group_cputime {
	struct task_cputime *totals;
};

We also add a new task_cputime substructure directly to signal_struct, to
cache the earliest expiration of process-wide timers, and task_cputime also
replaces the it_*_expires fields of task_struct (used for earliest expiration
of thread timers).  The "thread_group_cputime" structure contains process-wide
timers that are updated via account_user_time() and friends.  In the non-SMP
case the structure is a simple aggregator; unfortunately in the SMP case that
simplicity was not achievable due to cache-line contention between CPUs (in
one measured case performance was actually _worse_ on a 16-cpu system than
the same test on a 4-cpu system, due to this contention).  For SMP, the
thread_group_cputime counters are maintained as a per-cpu structure allocated
using alloc_percpu().  The timer functions update only the timer field in
the structure corresponding to the running CPU, obtained using per_cpu_ptr().

We define a set of inline functions in sched.h that we use to maintain the
thread_group_cputime structure and hide the differences between UP and SMP
implementations from the rest of the kernel.  The thread_group_cputime_init()
function initializes the thread_group_cputime structure for the given task.
The thread_group_cputime_alloc() is a no-op for UP; for SMP it calls the
out-of-line function thread_group_cputime_alloc_smp() to allocate and fill
in the per-cpu structures and fields.  The thread_group_cputime_free()
function, also a no-op for UP, in SMP frees the per-cpu structures.  The
thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() function (also a UP no-op) for SMP calls
thread_group_cputime_alloc() if the per-cpu structures haven't yet been
allocated.  The thread_group_cputime() function fills the task_cputime
structure it is passed with the contents of the thread_group_cputime fields;
in UP it's that simple but in SMP it must also safely check that tsk->signal
is non-NULL (if it is it just uses the appropriate fields of task_struct) and,
if so, sums the per-cpu values for each online CPU.  Finally, the three
functions account_group_user_time(), account_group_system_time() and
account_group_exec_runtime() are used by timer functions to update the
respective fields of the thread_group_cputime structure.

Non-SMP operation is trivial and will not be mentioned further.

The per-cpu structure is always allocated when a task creates its first new
thread, via a call to thread_group_cputime_clone_thread() from copy_signal().
It is freed at process exit via a call to thread_group_cputime_free() from
cleanup_signal().

All functions that formerly summed utime/stime/sum_sched_runtime values from
from all threads in the thread group now use thread_group_cputime() to
snapshot the values in the thread_group_cputime structure or the values in
the task structure itself if the per-cpu structure hasn't been allocated.

Finally, the code in kernel/posix-cpu-timers.c has changed quite a bit.
The run_posix_cpu_timers() function has been split into a fast path and a
slow path; the former safely checks whether there are any expired thread
timers and, if not, just returns, while the slow path does the heavy lifting.
With the dedicated thread group fields, timers are no longer "rebalanced" and
the process_timer_rebalance() function and related code has gone away.  All
summing loops are gone and all code that used them now uses the
thread_group_cputime() inline.  When process-wide timers are set, the new
task_cputime structure in signal_struct is used to cache the earliest
expiration; this is checked in the fast path.

Performance

The fix appears not to add significant overhead to existing operations.  It
generally performs the same as the current code except in two cases, one in
which it performs slightly worse (Case 5 below) and one in which it performs
very significantly better (Case 2 below).  Overall it's a wash except in those
two cases.

I've since done somewhat more involved testing on a dual-core Opteron system.

Case 1: With no itimer running, for a test with 100,000 threads, the fixed
	kernel took 1428.5 seconds, 513 seconds more than the unfixed system,
	all of which was spent in the system.  There were twice as many
	voluntary context switches with the fix as without it.

Case 2: With an itimer running at .01 second ticks and 4000 threads (the most
	an unmodified kernel can handle), the fixed kernel ran the test in
	eight percent of the time (5.8 seconds as opposed to 70 seconds) and
	had better tick accuracy (.012 seconds per tick as opposed to .023
	seconds per tick).

Case 3: A 4000-thread test with an initial timer tick of .01 second and an
	interval of 10,000 seconds (i.e. a timer that ticks only once) had
	very nearly the same performance in both cases:  6.3 seconds elapsed
	for the fixed kernel versus 5.5 seconds for the unfixed kernel.

With fewer threads (eight in these tests), the Case 1 test ran in essentially
the same time on both the modified and unmodified kernels (5.2 seconds versus
5.8 seconds).  The Case 2 test ran in about the same time as well, 5.9 seconds
versus 5.4 seconds but again with much better tick accuracy, .013 seconds per
tick versus .025 seconds per tick for the unmodified kernel.

Since the fix affected the rlimit code, I also tested soft and hard CPU limits.

Case 4: With a hard CPU limit of 20 seconds and eight threads (and an itimer
	running), the modified kernel was very slightly favored in that while
	it killed the process in 19.997 seconds of CPU time (5.002 seconds of
	wall time), only .003 seconds of that was system time, the rest was
	user time.  The unmodified kernel killed the process in 20.001 seconds
	of CPU (5.014 seconds of wall time) of which .016 seconds was system
	time.  Really, though, the results were too close to call.  The results
	were essentially the same with no itimer running.

Case 5: With a soft limit of 20 seconds and a hard limit of 2000 seconds
	(where the hard limit would never be reached) and an itimer running,
	the modified kernel exhibited worse tick accuracy than the unmodified
	kernel: .050 seconds/tick versus .028 seconds/tick.  Otherwise,
	performance was almost indistinguishable.  With no itimer running this
	test exhibited virtually identical behavior and times in both cases.

In times past I did some limited performance testing.  those results are below.

On a four-cpu Opteron system without this fix, a sixteen-thread test executed
in 3569.991 seconds, of which user was 3568.435s and system was 1.556s.  On
the same system with the fix, user and elapsed time were about the same, but
system time dropped to 0.007 seconds.  Performance with eight, four and one
thread were comparable.  Interestingly, the timer ticks with the fix seemed
more accurate:  The sixteen-thread test with the fix received 149543 ticks
for 0.024 seconds per tick, while the same test without the fix received 58720
for 0.061 seconds per tick.  Both cases were configured for an interval of
0.01 seconds.  Again, the other tests were comparable.  Each thread in this
test computed the primes up to 25,000,000.

I also did a test with a large number of threads, 100,000 threads, which is
impossible without the fix.  In this case each thread computed the primes only
up to 10,000 (to make the runtime manageable).  System time dominated, at
1546.968 seconds out of a total 2176.906 seconds (giving a user time of
629.938s).  It received 147651 ticks for 0.015 seconds per tick, still quite
accurate.  There is obviously no comparable test without the fix.

2b4a624d70 mv643xx_eth: shrink default receive and transmit queue sizes
Since the size of the receive queue is directly related to the data
cache footprint of the driver (between refilling a receive ring entry
with a fresh skb and receiving a packet in that entry, queue_size - 1
other skbs will have been touched), shrink the default receive queue
size to a saner number of entries, as 400 is definite overkill for
almost all workloads.

While we are at it, trim the default transmit queue size a bit as well.

a418950c13 mv643xx_eth: avoid dropping tx lock during transmit reclaim
By moving DMA unmapping during transmit reclaim back under the netif
tx lock, we avoid the situation where we read the DMA address and buffer
length from the descriptor under the lock and then not do anything with
that data after dropping the lock on platforms where the DMA unmapping
routines are all NOPs (which is the case on all ARM platforms that
mv643xx_eth is used on at least).

This saves two uncached reads, which makes a small but measurable
performance difference in routing benchmarks.

8e82f8c34b memstick: fix MSProHG 8-bit interface mode support
- 8-bit interface mode never worked properly.  The only adapter I have
  which supports the 8b mode (the Jmicron) had some problems with its
  clock wiring and they discovered it only now.  We also discovered that
  ProHG media is more sensitive to the ordering of initialization
  commands.

- Make the driver fall back to highest supported mode instead of always
  falling back to serial.  The driver will attempt the switch to 8b mode
  for any new MSPro card, but not all of them support it.  Previously,
  these new cards ended up in serial mode, which is not the best idea
  (they work fine with 4b, after all).

- Edit some macros for better conformance to Sony documentation

8d99f83b94 rescan_partitions(): make device capacity errors non-fatal
Herton Krzesinski reports that the error-checking changes in
04ebd4aee5 ("block/ioctl.c and
fs/partition/check.c: check value returned by add_partition") cause his
buggy USB camera to no longer mount.  "The camera is an Olympus X-840.
The original issue comes from the camera itself: its format program
creates a partition with an off by one error".

Buggy devices happen.  It is better for the kernel to warn and to proceed
with the mount.

3aa04f1b07 atmel_lcdfb: disable LCD and DMA engines when suspending
When suspending the system with atmel_lcdfb enabled, I sometimes see
this:

	atmel_lcdfb atmel_lcdfb.0: FIFO underflow 0x10

Which can be explained by the fact that we're not stopping the LCD
controller and its DMA engine when suspending, we're just gating the
clocks to them.

There's another potential issue which may be harder to trigger but
much more nasty: If we gate the clocks at _just_ the right moment,
e.g. when the DMA engine is doing a bus transaction, we may cause the
DMA engine to violate the system bus protocol and cause a lockup.

Avoid these issues by shutting down the LCD controller before entering
suspend (and restarting it when resuming). This prevents the underrun
from happening in the first place, and prevents whatever nastiness is
happening when the bus clock stops in the middle of a DMA transfer.

8275d102f8 ia64: fix panic during `modprobe -r xpc'
If you are on ia64 and you modprobe xpc then modprobe -r xpc, you
immediately get a panic.  xpc depends on xp which depends on gru for a
symbol.  That symbol is only used when we are running on UV hardware.

Currently, the GRU driver detects we are not on UV hardware and does no
initializing.  It does not do the same check when unloading.  As a result,
the gru driver attempts to tear down stuff that was not setup.

This is a simple two-line workaround to get us through this release.  Once
2.6.28 is opened, we need to rework the symbols that xp is depending on
from gru so the gru driver can properly fail to load when hardware is not
available.

5bead2a068 mm: mark the correct zone as full when scanning zonelists
The iterator for_each_zone_zonelist() uses a struct zoneref *z cursor when
scanning zonelists to keep track of where in the zonelist it is.  The
zoneref that is returned corresponds to the the next zone that is to be
scanned, not the current one.  It was intended to be treated as an opaque
list.

When the page allocator is scanning a zonelist, it marks elements in the
zonelist corresponding to zones that are temporarily full.  As the
zonelist is being updated, it uses the cursor here;

  if (NUMA_BUILD)
        zlc_mark_zone_full(zonelist, z);

This is intended to prevent rescanning in the near future but the zoneref
cursor does not correspond to the zone that has been found to be full.
This is an easy misunderstanding to make so this patch corrects the
problem by changing zoneref cursor to be the current zone being scanned
instead of the next one.

7e96445533 pxa2xx_spi: dma bugfixes
Fixes two DMA bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver.  The first bug is in all
versions of this driver; the second was introduced in the 2.6.20 kernel,
and prevents using the driver with chips like m25p16 flash (which can
issue large DMA reads).

 1. Zero length transfers are permitted for use to insert timing,
    but pxa2xx_spi.c will fail if this is requested in DMA mode.
    Fixed by using programmed I/O (PIO) mode for such transfers.

 2. Transfers larger than 8191 are not permitted in DMA mode.  A
    test for length rejects all large transfers regardless of DMA
    or PIO mode.  Worked around by rejecting only large transfers
    with DMA mapped buffers, and forcing all other transfers
    larger than 8191 to use PIO mode.  A rate limited warning is
    issued for DMA transfers forced to PIO mode.

This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20.  An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.

8423597d67 pxa2xx_spi: chipselect bugfixes
Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver.  These bugs are in
all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16
flash.

 1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early:
    before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the
    delay ineffective at holding chip select.

 2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer
    of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough).

 3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the
    chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended
    meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the
    next message.

Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays
and chip select de-assertions.

 4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer,
    and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3,
    above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is
    for a different chip.  Fixed by dropping chip select regardless
    of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message
    or if the next message is for a different chip.

This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20.  An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.
