That's how it was done in the past and the code is not functionally
problematic, so I saw no reason to re-implement it (which might
introduce regressions).

I don't think there is a real need for that model and that's why it is
not used any more. It's legacy mostly.

That's most likely how I would do it, so fine by me. :-)

Right. No disagreement.

Just for the record: I have another i.MX28 system here and got 43
Mbits/sec with PREEMPT_NONE and 37 Mbits/sec with PREEMPT_RT both using
a 3.14 kernel.

My system has a Marvell Switch (88e6083) as "transceiver".

did you already have time to review the USB2 PHY driver from patch 3/3?
please let me know if there's something we have to change, then I'll
take care of it
would you like to get all patches through the PHY tree or should Kevin

I agree this is a better approach. I think my math was wrong when figuring
out what a max SCI interrupt could be.

This requires some infrastructure to implement virtual "ACPI platform
error interface" to expose the details of the abort to the guest. This
patchset does not cover that and focuses on feature parity with other
architectures that support APEI. There are discussions among Linaro
partners about how this can be achieved in the long term, but that work
is outside the scope of this patchset. This patch will ensure that if a
guest encounters one of these errors then it will be reported before
getting killed. Before this patch we would just get an unsupported FSC
print out and then the guest would be killed.

I saw a previous email that said the SCI interrupt could not be
greater than 256, but I don't know where that restriction is. I'm
pretty sure the FADT field is 2 bytes, which would mean it could be up
to 65535.
To fix this problem, I think we only need to fix the penalty for the
SCI interrupt. It seems better to add a single "sci_penalty"
variable, set it to PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING if it's level/low or
PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS otherwise, and add "sci_penalty" in when
appropriate. That should fix it for *any* SCI IRQ, not just those
less than 256, and we don't have to add these extra penalty table
entries that are all unused (except possibly for one entry if we have
an SCI in the 16-255 range).
Something like this:
static int sci_irq, sci_penalty;
void acpi_penalize_sci_irq(int irq, int trigger, int polarity)
{
sci = irq;
if (trigger == ACPI_MADT_TRIGGER_LEVEL &&
polarity == ACPI_MADT_POLARITY_ACTIVE_LOW)
sci_penalty = PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING;
else
sci_penalty = PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS;
}
static int acpi_irq_get_penalty(int irq)
{
int penalty = 0;
if (irq == sci_irq)
penalty += sci_penalty;
...
}
One could argue that ACPI devices can use IRQs above 15, and we should
handle penalties for them, too. But the table is the wrong mechanism
for that, because it handles penalties for IRQs < 256, but IRQs above
that would mysteriously be handled differently.

Despite the use case in dentry, lockref itself is a generic locking API,
and
any problems I describe here are with the generic API itself, not
necessarily
the dentry use case. I'm not patching dentry--I'm fixing lockref.
By necessity, the API must do its update atomically, as keeping things
correct
involves potential spinlock access by other agents which may opt to use
the
spinlock API or the lockref API at their discretion. With the current
arm64
spinlock implementation, it is possible for the lockref to observe the
changed
contents of the protected count without observing the spinlock being
locked,
which could lead to missed changes to the lock_count itself, because any
calculations made on it could be overwritten or completed in a different
sequence.
(Spinlock locked access is obtained with a simple store under certain
scenarios. My attempt to fix this in the spinlock code was met with
resistance
saying it should be addressed in lockref, since that is the API that
would
encounter the issue. These changes were initiated in response to that
request.
Additional ordering problems were uncovered when I looked into lockref
itself.)
The example below involves only a single agent exactly as you explain
the
problem in commit 8e86f0b409a44193f1587e87b69c5dcf8f65be67. Even for a
single
execution agent, this means that the code below could access out of
order.
As lockref is a generic API, it doesn't matter whether dentry does this
or not.
By "done sequentially," I mean "accessed in program order."
As far as "true atomic" goes, I am referring to an atomic in the same
sense you
did in commit 8e86f0b409a44193f1587e87b69c5dcf8f65be67.

I am not sure where you got the idea that I was referring to replacing
spinlocks
with lockref calls. That is not the foundation for this fix.

The lockref code must access in order, because other agents can observe
it via
spinlock OR lockref APIs. Again, this is a generic API, not an explicit
part of
dentry. Other code will use it, and the manner in which it is used in
dentry is not
relevant. What lock_count is changed to is not proscribed by the
lockref
API. There is no guarantee whether it be an add, subtract, multiply,
divide, set
to some explicit value, etc. But the changes must be done in program
order and
observable in that same order by other agents: Therefore, the spinlock
and lock_count
must be accessed atomically, and observed to change atomically at the
system level.
I am not off base saying lockref is an atomic access. Here are some
references:
Under Documentation/filesystems/path-lookup.md, the dentry->d_lockref
mechanism
is described as an atomic access.
At the time lockref was introduced, The Linux Foundation gave a
presentation at
LinuxCon 2014 that can be found at the following link:
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/linuxcon-2014-locking-final.pdf
On page 46, it outlines the lockref API. The first lines of the slide
give the
relevant details.
Lockref
? *Generic* mechanism to *atomically* update a reference count that is
protected by a spinlock without actually acquiring the spinlock
itself.
While dentry's use is mentioned, this API is not restricted to the use
case of dentry.

Since the current code resembles but actually has *fewer* ordering
effects
compared to the example used by your atomic.h commit, even though
A->B->C is in
program order, it could access out of order according to your own commit
text
on commit 8e86f0b409a44193f1587e87b69c5dcf8f65be67.
Taking spin_lock/spin_unlock, however, includes ordering by nature of
the
load-acquire observing the store-release of a prior unlock, so ordering
is
enforced with the spinlock version of accesses. The lockref itself has
*no*
ordering enforced, unless a locked state is encountered and it falls
back
to the spinlock code. So this is a fundamental difference between
lockref and
spinlock. So, no, lockref ordering is currently not exactly the same as
spinlock--but it should be.

Take, for example, a use case where the ref count is either positive or
zero.
If increments and decrements hit out of order, a decrement that was
supposed
to come after an increment would instead do nothing if the value of the
lock
started at zero. Then when the increment hit later, the ref count would
remain
positive with a net effect of +1 to the ref count instead of +1-1=0.
Again,
however, the lockref does not specify how the contents of lock_count are
manipulated, it was only meant to guarantee that they are done
atomically when
the lock is not held.

If lockref accesses were to occur on many Pe's, there are all sorts of
things that could happen in terms of who wins what, and what they set
the
lock_count to. My point is simply that each access should be atomic
because
lockref is a generic API and was intended to be a lockless atomic
access.
Leaving this problem open until someone else introduces a use that
exposes
it, which could happen in the main kernel code, is probably not a good
idea, as it could prove difficult to track down.

Again, this is a generic API, not an API married to dentry. If it were
for
dentry's sole use, it should not be accessible outside of the dentry
code.
While the cmpxchg64_relaxed case may be OK for dentry, it is not OK for
the
generic case.

I have detailed the problems here, and they are with the generic case,
no
hand waving required.
On a further note, it is not accurate to say that my prior patches were
bogus: One called to attention a yet-to-be-corrected problem in the
ARMv8
Programmer's Guide, and the other was sidestepped by a refactor that
addressed the problem I set out to fix with a control flow change. Since
that problem was the fundamental reason I had worked on the gettime code
in the first place, I abandoned my effort. The refactor that fixed the
control-flow problem, however, is still missing on v4.7 and earlier
kernels
(sequence lock logic should be verified prior to the isb that demarcates
the virtual counter register read). I have confirmed this is an issue on
various armv8 hardware, sometimes obtaining identical register values
between multiple reads that were delayed such that they should have
shown
changes, evidence that the register read accessed prior to the seqlock
update having finished (the control flow problem).

Thanks for sharing the iperf output. What LAN transceiver does the TX28 has assembled?
I checked the config and is has no DEBUG_PAGEALLOC enabled and no DEBUG options related to network.

It is a fair assumption that the firmware populating this record will

I see your point. The original code supported 256 interrupts.
The machine where we had the problem had an SCI interrupt of 11. So,
this patch does not necessarily fix anything for this machine alone.
However, to be safe; I wanted to go back to the old behavior to fix
the SCI issue for all existing platforms.

This would be a lot easier to read if the trigger/polarity tests were
positive, e.g.,
if (trigger == ACPI_MADT_TRIGGER_LEVEL &&
polarity == ACPI_MADT_POLARITY_ACTIVE_LOW)
acpi_irq_penalty[irq] += PIRQ_PENALTY_PCI_USING;
else
acpi_irq_penalty[irq] += PIRQ_PENALTY_ISA_ALWAYS;

It seems like the problem is that we removed acpi_penalize_sci_irq(),
which told us the polarity and trigger mode. We tried to get that
information via irq_get_trigger_type(), but that didn't work in this
case because we use the acpi_irq_get_penalty() path before the SCI is
registered.
It makes sense to me to add acpi_penalize_sci_irq() back in, which is
what patch [3/3] does.
I don't understand how *this* patch, which basically just increases
the penalty array size from 16 to 256, helps fix the problem. It
seems like this patch should only matter if the SCI were some IRQ
between 16 and 255.

* [PATCH v2] perf: xgene: Remove bogus IS_ERR() check
From: Tai Nguyen @ 2016-10-13 18:09 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-arm-kernel
In acpi_get_pmu_hw_inf we pass the address of a local variable to IS_ERR(),
which doesn't make sense, as the pointer must be a real, valid pointer.
This doesn't cause a functional problem, as IS_ERR() will evaluate as
false, but the check is bogus and causes static checkers to complain.
Remove the bogus check.
The bug is reported by Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> in [1]

I'll have a look at patch 4 first.
Both 64KB contiguous pmd and 4K contiguous pud give us a 16GB range
which (AFAIK) is less likely to be optimised in hardware.

I've checked out the new version of your branch, and it works great.
I'll write a patch with additional test cases to go on top of your
branch, as the tests there do not capture the bug I was fixing.

This is the reason I put it in a separate patch: this one contains the
most useful combinations, and the next patch adds the missing ones,
but clutters up the code significantly. I'm perfectly happy to drop 4
and 5 if you don't think it is worth the trouble.

I was suggesting that you only replace the "... & ~modifiable_attr_mask"
check in your patch to avoid writing it three times. The macro that you
proposed above does more but it is also more unreadable.

* [PATCH] arm64: kaslr: fix breakage with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y
From: Ard Biesheuvel @ 2016-10-13 16:42 UTC (permalink / raw)
To: linux-arm-kernel
As it turns out, the KASLR code breaks CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, since the
kcrctab has an absolute address field that is relocated at runtime
when the kernel offset is randomized.
This has been fixed already for PowerPC in the past, so simply wire up
the existing code dealing with this issue.
Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org>

Given that I spotted this when trying to boot a distro kernel, this probably
deserves a cc stable.
Timur, could you please test this and report back? Thanks.

Coming back to this, I updated the series with new fwnode type
FWNODE_ACPI_STATIC, which IMHO makes more sense (because that
represents the FW interface it was obtained from rather than
its content and plays better with upcoming extension above - DMI is a
different firmware interface so it will be represented with a different
fwnode type). Thanks.
However, I still have a question. The approach I took (create platform
devices out of static IORT table entries for SMMUs) is common in ACPI
(eg GHES, ACPI watchdog) even though those subsystems ignore the fwnode,
but I think that's a detail.
Still, fixed HW like power button and sleep button took a different
approach, which consists in creating struct acpi_device objects out
of FADT fixed HW features (with a NULL ACPI handle because there is
no real ACPI object in the namespace for them).
I would like to understand the reasoning behind the difference (I
think it is related to notification events and the need for an
ACPI object for them - and sysfs userspace HID IF exposure ?).
In theory (but looks crazy to me that's why I did not do it), I could
fabricate a Device object in the ACPI namespace (?) (with _HID, _CRS and
related properties - is that doable ?) out of the static table entry in
the IORT table that provides the ARM SMMU component data (ie its MMIO
space, IRQs and SMMU properties like cache coherency), this would
allow the kernel to create a struct acpi_device (and related fwnode)
+ its physical node platform device but that looks insanely complicated
(if feasible and more importantly if correct from an ACPI standpoint).
This approach would allow me to match the SMMU driver with an _HID,
the kernel would create a physical_node (ie platform_device) for
me out of the namespace ACPI device object and I would get the
FWNODE_ACPI for free (out of the struct acpi_device) instead of having
to fiddle about with a new fwnode_handle type.
I think this alternative approach (if doable at all) creates more issues
than it solves but I wanted to make sure what I am doing is kosher
from an ACPI perspective so I am asking.
I definitely think the current approach I took is much better, with its
own downsides (eg matching the ARM SMMU driver by name instead of
acpi_device_id/_HID), but I wanted to ask.
The point is: ARM SMMU drivers are platform drivers. In DT the SMMUs
are represented through DT nodes, in ACPI through _static_ IORT table
entries, somehow a platform device must be created for them, so
this whole series (and related fwnode issues).
Thanks,
Lorenzo

I assume the limitation to have contiguous PMD only with 3 or move
levels is because of the way p*d folding was implemented in the kernel.
With nopmd, looping over pmds is done in __create_pgd_mapping() rather
than alloc_init_pmd().
A potential solution would be to replicate the contiguous pmd code to
the pud and pgd level, though we probably won't benefit from any
contiguous entries at higher level (when more than 2 levels).
Alternatively, with an #ifdef __PGTABLE_PMD_FOLDED, we could set the
PMD_CONT in prot in __create_pgd_mapping() directly (if the right
addr/phys alignment).
Anyway, it's probably not worth the effort given that 42-bit VA with 64K
pages is becoming a less likely configuration (36-bit VA with 16K pages
is even less likely, also depending on EXPERT).
