ARM: 7559/1: smp: switch away from the idmap before updating init_mm.mm_count

2012-10-30T23:26:54Z

commit 5f40b909728ad784eb43aa309d3c4e9bdf050781 upstream. When booting a secondary CPU, the primary CPU hands two sets of page tables via the secondary_data struct: (1) swapper_pg_dir: a normal, cacheable, shared (if SMP) mapping of the kernel image (i.e. the tables used by init_mm). (2) idmap_pgd: an uncached mapping of the .idmap.text ELF section. The idmap is generally used when enabling and disabling the MMU, which includes early CPU boot. In this case, the secondary CPU switches to swapper as soon as it enters C code: struct mm_struct *mm = &init_mm; unsigned int cpu = smp_processor_id(); /* * All kernel threads share the same mm context; grab a * reference and switch to it. */ atomic_inc(&mm->mm_count); current->active_mm = mm; cpumask_set_cpu(cpu, mm_cpumask(mm)); cpu_switch_mm(mm->pgd, mm); This causes a problem on ARMv7, where the identity mapping is treated as strongly-ordered leading to architecturally UNPREDICTABLE behaviour of exclusive accesses, such as those used by atomic_inc. This patch re-orders the secondary_start_kernel function so that we switch to swapper before performing any exclusive accesses.

ARM: fix rcu stalls on SMP platforms

2012-07-12T03:32:11Z

commit 7deabca0acfe02b8e18f59a4c95676012f49a304 upstream. We can stall RCU processing on SMP platforms if a CPU sits in its idle loop for a long time. This happens because we don't call irq_enter() and irq_exit() around generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() and friends. Add the necessary calls, and remove the one from within ipi_timer(), so that they're all in a common place. Signed-off-by: Russell King Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

ARM: 7414/1: SMP: prevent use of the console when using idmap_pgd

2012-05-11T12:14:59Z

commit fde165b2a29673aabf18ceff14dea1f1cfb0daad upstream. Commit 4e8ee7de227e3ab9a72040b448ad728c5428a042 (ARM: SMP: use idmap_pgd for mapping MMU enable during secondary booting) switched secondary boot to use idmap_pgd, which is initialized during early_initcall, instead of a page table initialized during __cpu_up. This causes idmap_pgd to contain the static mappings but be missing all dynamic mappings. If a console is registered that creates a dynamic mapping, the printk in secondary_start_kernel will trigger a data abort on the missing mapping before the exception handlers have been initialized, leading to a hang. Initial boot is not affected because no consoles have been registered, and resume is usually not affected because the offending console is suspended. Onlining a cpu with hotplug triggers the problem. A workaround is to the printk in secondary_start_kernel until after the page tables have been switched back to init_mm.

ARM: 7133/1: SMP: fix per cpu timer setup before the cpu is marked online

2011-10-23T20:22:58Z

The problem is related to the early enabling of interrupts and the per cpu timer setup before the cpu is marked online. This doesn't need to be done in order to call calibrate_delay(). calibrate_delay() monitors jiffies, which are updated from the CPU which is waiting for the new CPU to set the online bit. So simply calibrate_delay() can be called on the new CPU just from the interrupt disabled region and move the local timer setup after stored the cpu data and before enabling interrupts. This solves both the cpu_online vs. cpu_active problem and the affinity setting of the per cpu timers. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleinxer Signed-off-by: Kukjin Kim Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: gic, local timers: use the request_percpu_irq() interface

2011-10-23T12:32:33Z

This patch remove the hardcoded link between local timers and PPIs, and convert the PPI users (TWD, MCT and MSM timers) to the new *_percpu_irq interface. Also some collateral cleanup (local_timer_ack() is gone, and the interrupt handler is strictly private to each driver). PPIs are now useable for more than just the local timers. Additional testing by David Brown (msm8250 and msm8660) and Shawn Guo (imx6q).

ARM: gic: consolidate PPI handling

2011-10-23T12:32:29Z

PPI handling is a bit of an odd beast. It uses its own low level handling code and is hardwired to the local timers (hence lacking a registration interface). Instead, switch the low handling to the normal SPI handling code. PPIs are handled by the handle_percpu_devid_irq flow. This also allows the removal of some duplicated code.
