2006-10-04[PARISC] Enable interrupts while spinningMatthew Wilcox
Use the __raw_spin_lock_flags routine so we can take an interrupt while spinning. This re-fixes a bug jejb found on 2005-10-20: CPU0 does a flush_tlb_all holding the vmlist_lock for write. CPU1 tries a cat of /proc/meminfo which tries to acquire vmlist_lock for read CPU1 is now spinning with interrupts disabled CPU0 tries to execute a smp_call_function to flush the local tlb caches This is now a deadlock because CPU1 is spinning with interrupts disabled and can never receive the IPI Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>

2006-10-01[PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locksMartin Schwidefsky
On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the lock (directed yield). With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without common code changes. Powerpc already does this. With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock, _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax, _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

2006-03-30[PARISC] More useful readwrite lock helpersKyle McMartin
spinlock.c needs _can_lock helpers. Rewrite _is_locked helpers to be _can_lock helpers. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>
2005-11-17[PARISC] Fix our spinlock implementationJames Bottomley
We actually have two separate bad bugs 1. The read_lock implementation spins with disabled interrupts. This is completely wrong 2. Our spin_lock_irqsave should check to see if interrupts were enabled before the call and re-enable interrupts around the inner spin loop. The problem is that if we spin with interrupts off, we can't receive IPIs. This has resulted in a bug where SMP machines suddenly spit smp_call_function timeout messages and hang. The scenario I've caught is CPU0 does a flush_tlb_all holding the vmlist_lock for write. CPU1 tries a cat of /proc/meminfo which tries to acquire vmlist_lock for read CPU1 is now spinning with interrupts disabled CPU0 tries to execute a smp_call_function to flush the local tlb caches This is now a deadlock because CPU1 is spinning with interrupts disabled and can never receive the IPI Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <jejb@parisc-linux.org> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>
2005-10-21[PARISC] Update spinlocks from parisc treeMatthew Wilcox
Neaten up the CONFIG_PA20 ifdefs More merge fixes, this time for SMP Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@parisc-linux.org> Prettify the CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK __SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED initializers. Clean up some warnings with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK enabled. Fix build with spinlock debugging turned on. Patch is cleaner like this, too. Remove mandatory 16-byte alignment requirement on PA2.0 processors by using the ldcw,CO completer. Provides a nice insn savings. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>
2005-09-10[PATCH] spinlock consolidationIngo Molnar
This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following things: - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code. - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti. Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code, located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds) Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too. All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard spin/rwlock lockups. The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now lives in the generic headers: include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16 include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16 I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files, making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is: SMP | UP ----------------------------|----------------------------------- asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h /* * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files: * * on SMP builds: * * asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the * initializers * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel * implementations, mostly inline assembly code * * (also included on UP-debug builds:) * * linux/spinlock_api_smp.h: * contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs. * * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs. * * on UP builds: * * linux/spinlock_type_up.h: * contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type. * (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds) * * linux/spinlock_types.h: * defines the generic type and initializers * * linux/spinlock_up.h: * contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP * builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt * builds) * * (included on UP-non-debug builds:) * * linux/spinlock_api_up.h: * builds the _spin_*() APIs. * * linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs. */ All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch. arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via crosscompilers. m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should be mostly fine. From: Grant Grundler <grundler@parisc-linux.org> Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU). Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build non-SMP kernels. That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary. I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT expect any new issues to arise with them. If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW (load and clear word).

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
