19 years ago[IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT again
Stephane Eranian [Mon, 11 Apr 2005 20:45:00 +0000 (13:45 -0700)]
[IA64] perfmon & PAL_HALT again

The pmu_active test is based on the values of PSR.up. THIS IS THE PROBLEM as
it does not take into account the lazy restore logic which is as follow (simplified):

context switch out:
save PMDs
clear psr.up
release ownership

context switch in:
if (ctx->last_cpu == smp_processor_id() && ctx->cpu_activation == cpu_activation) {
set psr.up
return
}
restore PMD
restore PMC
ctx->last_cpu   = smp_processor_id();
ctx->activation = ++cpu_activation;
set psr.up

The key here is that on context switch out, we clear psr.up and on context switch in
we check if nobody else used the PMU on that processor since last time we came. In
that case, we assume the PMD/PMC are ours and we simply reactivate.

The Caliper problem is that between the moment we context switch out and the moment we
come back, nobody effectively used the PMU BUT the processor went idle. Normally this
would have no incidence but PAL_HALT does alter the PMU registers.  In default_idle(),
the test on psr.up is not strong enough to cover this case and we go into PAL which
trashed the PMU resgisters. When we come back we falsely assume that this is our state
yet it is corrupted. Very nasty indeed.

To avoid the problem it is necessary to forbid going to PAL_HALT as soon as perfmon
installs some valid state in the PMU registers. This happens with an application
attaches a context to a thread or CPU. It is not enough to check the psr/dcr bits.
Hence I propose the attached patch. It adds a callback in process.c to modify the
condition to enter PAL on idle. Basically, now it is conditional to pal_halt=1 AND
perfmon saying it is okay.

sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels.  I
have tried to proceed with that task.  I have done that more times from 2.6.0

compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets.  I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
 So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.

I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention.  Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors.  Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.

You can see result of the modified documentation build at
  http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz

Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated

section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick

ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary
for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in
ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch().  The
ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block
allocation on the same inode.  So the inode's indirect addressing tree
won't be changed after we grab that semaphore.

We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or
not.  If it has been changed, then get the updated branch.  If we still
need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work
with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch().

The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic.  The patch

[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: comp_short_keys() cleanup

comp_short_keys() massaged into sane form, which kills the last place where
pointer to in_core_key (or any object containing such) would be cast to or
from something else.  At that point we are free to change layout of

So we drop the mess with union in there and simply use (unconditional) __u64
k_offset and __u8 k_type instead; places using in_core_key switched to those.
That gives _far_ better code than current mess - on all platforms.
