* MIPS: Crazy spinlock speed test.David Daney2010-02-272-0/+142
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is just a test program for raw_spinlocks. The main reason I wrote it is to validate my spinlock changes that I sent in a previous patch. To use it enable CONFIG_DEBUG_FS and CONFIG_SPINLOCK_TEST then at run time do: # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_single # cat /sys/kernel/debug/mips/spin_multi On my 600MHz octeon cn5860 (16 CPUs) I get spin_single spin_multi base 106885 247941 spinlock_patch 75194 219465 This shows that for uncontended locks the spinlock patch gives 41% improvement and for contended locks 12% improvement (1/time).

* MIPS: Allow the auxv's elf_platform entry to be set.David Daney2010-02-271-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The userspace runtime linker uses the elf_platform to find the libraries optimized for the current CPU archecture variant. First we need to allow it to be set to something other than NULL. Follow-on patches will set some values for specific CPUs. GLIBC already does the right thing. The kernel just needs to supply good data.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As reported by Maxime Bizon, the commit "MIPS: PowerTV: Fix support for timer interrupts with > 64 external IRQs" have broken the r4k timer since it didn't initialize the cp0_compare_irq_shift variable used in c0_compare_int_pending() on the architectures whose cpu_has_mips_r2 is false.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The MIPS processor is limited to 64 external interrupt sources. Using a greater number without IRQ sharing requires reading platform-specific registers. On such platforms, reading the IntCtl register to determine which interrupt corresponds to a timer interrupt will not work. On MIPSR2 systems there is a solution - the TI bit in the Cause register, specifically indicates that a timer interrupt has occured. This patch uses that bit to detect interrupts for MIPSR2 processors, which may be expected to work regardless of how the timer interrupt may be routed in the hardware.

* MIPS: Fix and enhance built-in kernel command lineDmitri Vorobiev2009-12-171-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, MIPS kernels silently overwrite kernel command-line parameters hardcoded in CONFIG_CMDLINE by the ones received from firmware. Therefore, using firmware remains the only reliable method to transfer the command-line parameters, which is not always desirable or convenient, and the CONFIG_CMDLINE option is thereby effectively rendered useless. This patch fixes the problem described above and introduces a more flexible scheme of handling the kernel command line, in a manner identical to what is currently used for x86. The default behavior, i.e. when CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL is not defined, retains the existing semantics, and firmware command-line arguments override the hardcoded ones.

* MIPS: Tracing: Make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-addressWu Zhangjin2009-12-172-7/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to _mcount" from "David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>" have added a new option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location of the return address to _mcount. Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function, which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable. In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be enabled, otherwise, no side effect. and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support the old gcc versions. with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS), so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called "ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy $12(t0). (Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole thing more beautiful!)

'Cause we can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search the text instead. as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset, and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via writing the &return_to_handler in. If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount".

When enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us. Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter). In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller is implemented as a real tracing function respectively. But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of -mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile: MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls. The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two different type of calling to _mcount. For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr vmlinux"). is like this: 108: 03e0082d move at,ra 10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending> 10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount 10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 110: 00020021 nop For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this: c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0 c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0 10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount 10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 14: 03e0082d move at,ra 18: 0060f809 jalr v1 In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with "R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount". and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop instruction. but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left 32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else. the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these two instructions: lui v1,0x0 addiu v1,v1,0 If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to: lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions oursevles. Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and ftrace_caller is the same: _mcount: ftrace_caller: j ftrace_stub nop ...(do real tracing here)... ftrace_stub: jr ra move ra, at By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do the real tracing job. what about filtering job? we just need to do this: lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004) addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount move at, ra jalr v1 nop 1f: (rec->ip + 12) In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for writing the mips64-specific function_regex. In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid" trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of "simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

* MIPS: Tracing: Add static function tracer support for MIPSWu Zhangjin2009-12-173-0/+94
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to _mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount. This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us. and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when ftracer is enabled.

| * vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semanticsChristoph Hellwig2009-12-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems, since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give O_DSYNC" comment. This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics. After Jan's O_SYNC patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to vfs_fsync_range and when not. This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC flag. To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers. This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition. Drivers and network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set. The few places setting O_SYNC for lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe. We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path to make sure we always get these sane options. Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op. We try to repair it by using it for the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.
