| * | s390/pci: introduce lazy IOTLB flushing for DMA unmapGerald Schaefer2014-07-221-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the default IOTLB flushing method to lazy flushing, which means that there will be no direct flush after each DMA unmap operation. Instead, the iommu bitmap pointer will be adjusted after unmap, so that no DMA address will be re-used until after an iommu bitmap wrap-around. The only IOTLB flush will then happen after each wrap-around. A new kernel parameter "s390_iommu=" is also introduced, to allow changing the flushing behaviour to the old strict method.

* | | printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUsLuis R. Rodriguez2014-08-071-2/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a large amount of CPUs under heavy load. What ends up happening when debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter. An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that will vary widely depending on the system and environment. There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring buffer per CPU. We also have a static value which can be passed upon boot. Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an issue has creeped up. Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case scenario. We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time, num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off. This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips over, the size is specified as a power of 2. The total amount of contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger an increase upon bootup. The kernel ring buffer is increased to the next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer size plus the additional CPU contribution. For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer. With a LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64 possible CPUs to trigger an increase. If you had 128 possible CPUs the amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to: ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required size would be 1024 KB. This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an expected power of two value.

This patch defines 'ahash_minsize' module parameter, which is used to define the minimal file size to use with ahash. If this minimum file size is not set or the file is smaller than defined by the parameter, shash will be used.

This clearly will not scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would get behind, increasing grace-period latency. To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of whom in turn awakens its followers. By default, the number of groups of kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter. This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders. In addition, because the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers, the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two. Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at the end of the grace period. For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers at the end of the grace period. This compares favorably with the 79 wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system. Reported-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The main thing is the changes to the ftrace function callback infrastructure. It's introducing a way to allow different functions to call directly different trampolines instead of all calling the same "mcount" one. The only user of this for now is the function graph tracer, which always had a different trampoline, but the function tracer trampoline was called and did basically nothing, and then the function graph tracer trampoline was called. The difference now, is that the function graph tracer trampoline can be called directly if a function is only being traced by the function graph trampoline. If function tracing is also happening on the same function, the old way is still done. The accounting for this takes up more memory when function graph tracing is activated, as it needs to keep track of which functions it uses. I have a new way that wont take as much memory, but it's not ready yet for this merge window, and will have to wait for the next one. Another big change was the removal of the ftrace_start/stop() calls that were used by the suspend/resume code that stopped function tracing when entering into suspend and resume paths. The stop of ftrace was done because there was some function that would crash the system if one called smp_processor_id()!

Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test. The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which increased per-update grace-period overhead. This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable. However, this approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send resched IPIs to the offending CPUs. These will be sent only once the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings will be emitted, whichever comes first.

Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system log. On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the actual "culprit" (i.e. the owner/holder of the contended resource) is reported to the user. Often this information has proven to be insufficient to assist debugging efforts. To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup reporting. This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain a stack trace. If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method. A sysctl and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

Examples: 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G" 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M" Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that page_address() works for the pages to allocate.

We have no major new features this time, but there are a few significant changes of how things work. The most visible one will probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID. That was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems going forward. We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual), but it's something to watch nevertheless. The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken Win8 BIOSes. We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy enough to revert if need be. In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met (generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy). However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain (used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today). Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x). The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases, cleanups and fixes all over the place. Specifics: - ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424. That includes a number of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE handling, table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping, DSDT/SSDT overriding, and the Unload() operator. The acpidump utility from upstream ACPICA is included too. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box, David Binderman, and Colin Ian King. - Fixes and cleanups related to ACPI video and backlight interfaces from Hans de Goede. That includes blacklist entries for some new machines and using native backlight by default. - ACPI device enumeration changes to create platform devices rather than PNP devices for ACPI device objects with _HID by default. PNP devices will still be created for the ACPI device object with device IDs corresponding to real PNP devices, so that change should not break things left and right, and we're expecting to see more and more ACPI-enumerated platform devices in the future. From Zhang Rui and Rafael J Wysocki. - Updates for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver allowing it to handle system suspend/resume on Asus T100 correctly. From Heikki Krogerus and Rafael J Wysocki. - PM core update introducing a mechanism to allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume transitions if certain additional conditions related to coordination within device hierarchy are met.

This presents an inconsistent kernel interface to userspace, basically there are 2 different scenarios, depending on the laptop model: 1) On some laptops a brightness up/down keypress means: show a brightness osd with the current brightness, iow it is a brightness has changed notification. 2) Where as on (a lot of) other laptops it means a brightness up/down key was pressed, deal with it. Most of the desktop environments interpret any press as in scenario 2, and change the brightness up / down as a response to the key events, causing it to be changed twice, once by acpi-video and once by the DE. With the new default for video.use_native_backlight we will be moving even more laptops over to behaving as in scenario 2. Making the remaining laptops even more of a weird exception. Also note that it is hard to detect scenario 1 properly in userspace, and AFAIK none of the DE-s deals with it. Therefor this commit changes the default of brightness_switch_enabled to 0 making its behavior consistent with all the other backlight drivers.

The root cause is: 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping; 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO mappings. This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum verification can be easily re-enabled. A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad tables. This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is reported that when acpi_gbl_disable_ssdt_table_load is specified, user still can see it installed into /sys/firmware/acpi/tables on Linux boxes. This is because the option only stops table "loading", but doesn't stop table "installing", thus it is still in the acpi_gbl_root_table_list. With previous cleanups, it is possible to prevent SSDT installations to make it not such confusing. The global variable is also renamed. Lv Zheng.

However, some user space frameworks only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible. For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument, relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states. Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze" labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform. Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as "serialized" if the method creates any named objects.

Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table load time. This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature to be turned on for a specific boot.
