2012-02-17PM / Sleep: Make enter_state() in kernel/power/suspend.c staticRafael J. Wysocki
The enter_state() function in kernel/power/suspend.c should be static and state_store() in kernel/power/suspend.c should call pm_suspend() instead of it, so make that happen (which also reduces code duplication related to suspend statistics).

2012-02-16irq_domain: Remove irq_domain_add_simple()Grant Likely
irq_domain_add_simple() was a stop-gap measure until complete irq_domain support was complete. This patch removes the irq_domain_add_simple() interface. This patch also drops the explicit irq_domain initialization performed by the mach-versatile code because the versatile interrupt controller already has irq_domain support built into it. This was a bug that was hanging around quietly for a while, but with the full irq_domain which actually verifies that irq_domain ranges are available it would cause the registration to fail and the system wouldn't boot. v4: Fixed number of irqs in mx5 gpio code v2: Updated to pass in host_data pointer on irq_domain allocation.

2012-02-16irq_domain: Remove 'new' irq_domain in favour of the ppc oneGrant Likely
This patch removes the simplistic implementation of irq_domains and enables the powerpc infrastructure for all irq_domain users. The powerpc infrastructure includes support for complex mappings between Linux and hardware irq numbers, and can manage allocation of irq_descs. This patch also converts the few users of irq_domain_add()/irq_domain_del() to call irq_domain_add_legacy() instead. v3: Fix bug that set up too many irqs in translation range. v2: Fix removal of irq_alloc_descs() call in gic driver Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Tested-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>
2012-02-16irq_domain: Add support for base irq and hwirq in legacy mappingsGrant Likely
Add support for a legacy mapping where irq = (hwirq - first_hwirq + first_irq) so that a controller driver can allocate a fixed range of irq_descs and use a simple calculation to translate back and forth between linux and hw irq numbers. This is needed to use an irq_domain with many of the ARM interrupt controller drivers that manage their own irq_desc allocations. Ultimately the goal is to migrate those drivers to use the linear revmap, but doing it this way allows each driver to be converted separately which makes the migration path easier. This patch generalizes the IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_LEGACY method to use (first_irq-first_hwirq) as the offset between hwirq and linux irq number, and adds checks to make sure that the hwirq number does not exceed range assigned to the controller.

2012-02-16irq_domain: Replace irq_alloc_host() with revmap-specific initializersGrant Likely
Each revmap type has different arguments for setting up the revmap. This patch splits up the generator functions so that each revmap type can do its own setup and the user doesn't need to keep track of how each revmap type handles the arguments. This patch also adds a host_data argument to the generators. There are cases where the host_data pointer will be needed before the function returns. ie. the legacy map calls the .map callback for each irq before returning. v2: - Add void *host_data argument to irq_domain_add_*() functions - fixed failure to compile - Moved IRQ_DOMAIN_MAP_* defines into irqdomain.c Signed-off-by: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com> Tested-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

2012-02-15timer: Fix bad idle check on irq entryFrederic Weisbecker
idle_cpu() is called on irq entry to guess if we need to call tick_check_idle(). This way we can catch up with jiffies if the tick was stopped, stop accounting idle time during the interrupt and maintain the sched clock if it is unstable. But if we are going to exit the idle loop to schedule a new task (ie: if we have a task in the runqueue or a remotely enqueued ttwu to perform), the idle_cpu() check will return 0 such that we miss the call to tick_check_idle() for all interrupts happening before we schedule the new task. As a result these interrupts and the softirqs coming along may deal with stale jiffies values, bad sched clock values, and won't substract their time from the idle time accounting. Fix this with using is_idle_task() instead that strictly checks that we are running the idle task, without caring about the fact we are going to schedule a task soon.

2012-02-15nohz: Remove ts->Einidle checks before restarting the tickFrederic Weisbecker
ts->inidle is set by tick_nohz_idle_enter() and unset by tick_nohz_idle_exit(). However these two calls are assumed to be always paired. This means that by the time we call tick_nohz_idle_exit(), ts->inidle is supposed to be always set to 1. Remove the checks for ts->inidle in tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies a bit the code and improves its debuggability (ie: ensure the call is paired with a tick_nohz_idle_enter() call).

2012-02-15clockevents: Leave the broadcast device in shutdown mode when not neededSuresh Siddha
Platforms with Always Running APIC Timer doesn't use the broadcast timer but the kernel is leaving the broadcast timer (HPET in this case) in oneshot mode. On these platforms, before the switch to oneshot mode, broadcast device is actually in shutdown mode. Code checks for empty tick_broadcast_mask and avoids going into the periodic mode. During switch to oneshot mode, add the same tick_broadcast_mask checks in the tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() and avoid the broadcast device going into the oneshot mode.

2012-02-15genirq: Handle pending irqs in irq_startup()Thomas Gleixner
An interrupt might be pending when irq_startup() is called, but the startup code does not invoke the resend logic. In some cases this prevents the device from issuing another interrupt which renders the device non functional. Call the resend function in irq_startup() to keep things going.

2012-02-15genirq: Unmask oneshot irqs when thread was not wokenThomas Gleixner
When the primary handler of an interrupt which is marked IRQ_ONESHOT returns IRQ_HANDLED or IRQ_NONE, then the interrupt thread is not woken and the unmask logic of the interrupt line is never invoked. This keeps the interrupt masked forever. This was not noticed as most IRQ_ONESHOT users wake the thread unconditionally (usually because they cannot access the underlying device from hard interrupt context). Though this behaviour was nowhere documented and not necessarily intentional. Some drivers can avoid the thread wakeup in certain cases and run into the situation where the interrupt line s kept masked. Handle it gracefully.

2012-02-07perf: Fix double start/stop in x86_pmu_start()Stephane Eranian
The following patch fixes a bug introduced by the following commit: e050e3f0a71b ("perf: Fix broken interrupt rate throttling") The patch caused the following warning to pop up depending on the sampling frequency adjustments: ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:995 x86_pmu_start+0x79/0xd4() It was caused by the following call sequence: perf_adjust_freq_unthr_context.part() { stop() if (delta > 0) { perf_adjust_period() { if (period > 8*...) { stop() ... start() } } } start() } Which caused a double start and a double stop, thus triggering the assert in x86_pmu_start(). The patch fixes the problem by avoiding the double calls. We pass a new argument to perf_adjust_period() to indicate whether or not the event is already stopped. We can't just remove the start/stop from that function because it's called from __perf_event_overflow where the event needs to be reloaded via a stop/start back-toback call. The patch reintroduces the assertion in x86_pmu_start() which was removed by commit: 84f2b9b ("perf: Remove deprecated WARN_ON_ONCE()") In this second version, we've added calls to disable/enable PMU during unthrottling or frequency adjustment based on bug report of spurious NMI interrupts from Eric Dumazet.

2012-02-07block: strip out locking optimization in put_io_context()Tejun Heo
put_io_context() performed a complex trylock dancing to avoid deferring ioc release to workqueue. It was also broken on UP because trylock was always assumed to succeed which resulted in unbalanced preemption count. While there are ways to fix the UP breakage, even the most pathological microbench (forced ioc allocation and tight fork/exit loop) fails to show any appreciable performance benefit of the optimization. Strip it out. If there turns out to be workloads which are affected by this change, simpler optimization from the discussion thread can be applied later.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm Power management fixes for 3.3-rc3 Three power management regression fixes, one for a recent regression introcuded by the freezer changes during the 3.3 merge window and two for regressions in cpuidle (resulting from PM QoS changes) and in the hibernate user space interface, both introduced during the 3.2 development cycle. They include: * Two hibernate (s2disk) regression fixes from Srivatsa S. Bhat (for regressions introduced during the 3.3 merge window and during the 3.2 development cycle). * A cpuidle fix from Venki Pallipadi for a regression resulting from PM QoS changes during the 3.2 development cycle causing cpuidle to work incorrectly for CONFIG_PM unset. * tag 'pm-fixes-for-3.3-rc3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: PM / QoS: CPU C-state breakage with PM Qos change PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads fails PM / Hibernate: Thaw kernel threads in SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl path
2012-02-04PM / Freezer: Thaw only kernel threads if freezing of kernel threads failsSrivatsa S. Bhat
If freezing of kernel threads fails, we are expected to automatically thaw tasks in the error recovery path. However, at times, we encounter situations in which we would like the automatic error recovery path to thaw only the kernel threads, because we want to be able to do some more cleanup before we thaw userspace. Something like: error = freeze_kernel_threads(); if (error) { /* Do some cleanup */ /* Only then thaw userspace tasks*/ thaw_processes(); } An example of such a situation is where we freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/hibernation. There, if freezing of kernel threads fails, we would like to thaw the frozen filesystems before thawing the userspace tasks. So, modify freeze_kernel_threads() to thaw only kernel threads in case of freezing failure. And change suspend_freeze_processes() accordingly. (At the same time, let us also get rid of the rather cryptic usage of the conditional operator (:?) in that function.) [rjw: In fact, this patch fixes a regression introduced during the 3.3 merge window, because without it thaw_processes() may be called before swsusp_free() in some situations and that may lead to massive memory allocation failures.] Signed-off-by: Srivatsa S.

2012-02-03kprobes: fix a memory leak in function pre_handler_kretprobe()Jiang Liu
In function pre_handler_kretprobe(), the allocated kretprobe_instance object will get leaked if the entry_handler callback returns non-zero. This may cause all the preallocated kretprobe_instance objects exhausted. This issue can be reproduced by changing samples/kprobes/kretprobe_example.c to probe "mutex_unlock". And the fix is straightforward: just put the allocated kretprobe_instance object back onto the free_instances list.
