include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

x86/reboot: Use NMI to assist in shutting down if IRQ fails For v3.3, I added code to use the NMI to stop other cpus in the panic case. The idea was to make sure all cpus on the system were definitely halted to help serialize the panic path to execute the rest of the code on a single cpu. The main problem it was trying to solve was how to stop a cpu that was spinning with its irqs disabled. A IPI irq would be stuck and couldn't get in there, but an NMI could. Things were great until we had another conversation about some pstore changes. Because some of the backend pstore still uses spinlocks to protect the device access, things could get ugly if a panic happened and we were stuck spinning on a lock. Now with the NMI shutting down cpus, we could assume no other cpus were running and just bust the spin lock and proceed. The counter argument was, well if you do that the backend could be in a screwed up state and you might not be able to save anything as a result. If we could have just given the cpu a little more time to finish things, we could have grabbed the spin lock cleanly and everything would have been fine. Well, how do give a cpu a 'little more time' in the panic case? For the most part you can't without spinning on the lock and even in that case, how long do you spin for? So instead of making it ugly in the pstore code, just mimic the idea that stop_machine had, which is block on an IRQ IPI until the remote cpu has re-enabled interrupts and left the critical region. Which is what happens now using REBOOT_IRQ. Then leave the NMI case for those cpus that are truly stuck after a short time. This leaves the current behaviour alone and just handle a corner case. Most systems should never have to enter the NMI code and if they do, print out a message in case the NMI itself causes another issue.

x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints [Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

/*
* Some notes on x86 processor bugs affecting SMP operation:
*
* Pentium, Pentium Pro, II, III (and all CPUs) have bugs.
* The Linux implications for SMP are handled as follows:
*
* Pentium III / [Xeon]
* None of the E1AP-E3AP errata are visible to the user.
*
* E1AP. see PII A1AP
* E2AP. see PII A2AP
* E3AP. see PII A3AP
*
* Pentium II / [Xeon]
* None of the A1AP-A3AP errata are visible to the user.
*
* A1AP. see PPro 1AP
* A2AP. see PPro 2AP
* A3AP. see PPro 7AP
*
* Pentium Pro
* None of 1AP-9AP errata are visible to the normal user,
* except occasional delivery of 'spurious interrupt' as trap #15.
* This is very rare and a non-problem.
*
* 1AP. Linux maps APIC as non-cacheable
* 2AP. worked around in hardware
* 3AP. fixed in C0 and above steppings microcode update.
* Linux does not use excessive STARTUP_IPIs.
* 4AP. worked around in hardware
* 5AP. symmetric IO mode (normal Linux operation) not affected.
* 'noapic' mode has vector 0xf filled out properly.
* 6AP. 'noapic' mode might be affected - fixed in later steppings
* 7AP. We do not assume writes to the LVT deassering IRQs
* 8AP. We do not enable low power mode (deep sleep) during MP bootup
* 9AP. We do not use mixed mode
*
* Pentium
* There is a marginal case where REP MOVS on 100MHz SMP
* machines with B stepping processors can fail. XXX should provide
* an L1cache=Writethrough or L1cache=off option.
*
* B stepping CPUs may hang. There are hardware work arounds
* for this. We warn about it in case your board doesn't have the work
* arounds. Basically that's so I can tell anyone with a B stepping
* CPU and SMP problems "tough".
*
* Specific items [From Pentium Processor Specification Update]
*
* 1AP. Linux doesn't use remote read
* 2AP. Linux doesn't trust APIC errors
* 3AP. We work around this
* 4AP. Linux never generated 3 interrupts of the same priority
* to cause a lost local interrupt.
* 5AP. Remote read is never used
* 6AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 7AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 8AP. worked around in hardware - we get explicit CS errors if not
* 9AP. only 'noapic' mode affected. Might generate spurious
* interrupts, we log only the first one and count the
* rest silently.
* 10AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 11AP. Linux reads the APIC between writes to avoid this, as per
* the documentation. Make sure you preserve this as it affects
* the C stepping chips too.
* 12AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 13AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 14AP. we always deassert INIT during bootup
* 15AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 16AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 17AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 18AP. not affected - worked around in hardware
* 19AP. not affected - worked around in BIOS
*
* If this sounds worrying believe me these bugs are either ___RARE___,
* or are signal timing bugs worked around in hardware and there's
* about nothing of note with C stepping upwards.

asmlinkage __visible void smp_reboot_interrupt(void)
x86: fix panic with interrupts off (needed for MCE) For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(), producing ugly backtraces and confusing users. This is a common situation with machine checks for example which tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which would be bad. This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function, which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other CPUs. On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex system state. I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the underlying complexity problems. The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution because panic has to be reliable. So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be called from interupts off region because it is very very simple. There can be situations where it is important that panic is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and all function it calls simple. This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme. It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not particularly precious anymore since all big systems are using per CPU vectors. Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for using a non NMI vector for now. I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down instead into the next lower priority.

x86/reboot: Use NMI to assist in shutting down if IRQ fails For v3.3, I added code to use the NMI to stop other cpus in the panic case. The idea was to make sure all cpus on the system were definitely halted to help serialize the panic path to execute the rest of the code on a single cpu. The main problem it was trying to solve was how to stop a cpu that was spinning with its irqs disabled. A IPI irq would be stuck and couldn't get in there, but an NMI could. Things were great until we had another conversation about some pstore changes. Because some of the backend pstore still uses spinlocks to protect the device access, things could get ugly if a panic happened and we were stuck spinning on a lock. Now with the NMI shutting down cpus, we could assume no other cpus were running and just bust the spin lock and proceed. The counter argument was, well if you do that the backend could be in a screwed up state and you might not be able to save anything as a result. If we could have just given the cpu a little more time to finish things, we could have grabbed the spin lock cleanly and everything would have been fine. Well, how do give a cpu a 'little more time' in the panic case? For the most part you can't without spinning on the lock and even in that case, how long do you spin for? So instead of making it ugly in the pstore code, just mimic the idea that stop_machine had, which is block on an IRQ IPI until the remote cpu has re-enabled interrupts and left the critical region. Which is what happens now using REBOOT_IRQ. Then leave the NMI case for those cpus that are truly stuck after a short time. This leaves the current behaviour alone and just handle a corner case. Most systems should never have to enter the NMI code and if they do, print out a message in case the NMI itself causes another issue.

* We start by using the REBOOT_VECTOR irq.
* The irq is treated as a sync point to allow critical
* regions of code on other cpus to release their spin locks
* and re-enable irqs. Jumping straight to an NMI might
* accidentally cause deadlocks with further shutdown/panic

x86: fix panic with interrupts off (needed for MCE) For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(), producing ugly backtraces and confusing users. This is a common situation with machine checks for example which tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which would be bad. This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function, which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other CPUs. On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex system state. I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the underlying complexity problems. The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution because panic has to be reliable. So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be called from interupts off region because it is very very simple. There can be situations where it is important that panic is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and all function it calls simple. This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme. It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not particularly precious anymore since all big systems are using per CPU vectors. Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for using a non NMI vector for now.

x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints [Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.

x86, trace: Introduce entering/exiting_irq() When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers, it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty. To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time. So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post- processing of each irq handler. A way to use them is as follows. Non-trace irq handler: smp_irq_handler() { entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */ __smp_irq_handler(); /* * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers * in a vector. */ exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */ } Trace irq_handler: smp_trace_irq_handler() { entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */ trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */ __smp_irq_handler(); /* * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers * in a vector. */ trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */ exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */ } If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows, it looks cleaner. smp_trace_irq_handler() { trace_irq_entry(); smp_irq_handler(); trace_irq_exit(); } But it doesn't work. The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize. As a possible alternative, we may be able to call irq_enter() first as follows if irq_enter() can nest. smp_trace_irq_hander() { irq_entry(); trace_irq_entry(); smp_irq_handler(); trace_irq_exit(); irq_exit(); } But it doesn't work, either.

x86, trace: Introduce entering/exiting_irq() When implementing tracepoints in interrupt handers, if the tracepoints are simply added in the performance sensitive path of interrupt handers, it may cause potential performance problem due to the time penalty. To solve the problem, an idea is to prepare non-trace/trace irq handers and switch their IDTs at the enabling/disabling time. So, let's introduce entering_irq()/exiting_irq() for pre/post- processing of each irq handler. A way to use them is as follows. Non-trace irq handler: smp_irq_handler() { entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */ __smp_irq_handler(); /* * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers * in a vector. */ exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */ } Trace irq_handler: smp_trace_irq_handler() { entering_irq(); /* pre-processing of this handler */ trace_irq_entry(); /* tracepoint for irq entry */ __smp_irq_handler(); /* * common logic between non-trace and trace handlers * in a vector. */ trace_irq_exit(); /* tracepoint for irq exit */ exiting_irq(); /* post-processing of this handler */ } If tracepoints can place outside entering_irq()/exiting_irq() as follows, it looks cleaner. smp_trace_irq_handler() { trace_irq_entry(); smp_irq_handler(); trace_irq_exit(); } But it doesn't work. The problem is with irq_enter/exit() being called. They must be called before trace_irq_enter/exit(), because of the rcu_irq_enter() must be called before any tracepoints are used, as tracepoints use rcu to synchronize.

x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints [Purpose of this patch] As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors are useful. http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html <snip> The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently running processes. There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space, which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events. The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state. <snip> On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and getting a value of instruction pointer. I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before. But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap. So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now. [Patch Description] Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events. But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events. In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events. So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit. so that we can enable them independently. - local_timer_vector - reschedule_vector - call_function_vector - call_function_single_vector - irq_work_entry_vector - error_apic_vector - thermal_apic_vector - threshold_apic_vector - spurious_apic_vector - x86_platform_ipi_vector Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows. - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq(). - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table. - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers. - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt(). This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons. - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled. - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging is disabled. In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being used for other purposes.
