Nicolas Pitre [Wed, 13 Dec 2006 17:39:26 +0000 (18:39 +0100)]
[ARM] 4016/1: prefetch macro is wrong wrt gcc's "delete-null-pointer-checks"
 optimization

The gcc manual says:

|`-fdelete-null-pointer-checks'
|     Use global dataflow analysis to identify and eliminate useless
|     checks for null pointers.  The compiler assumes that dereferencing
|     a null pointer would have halted the program.  If a pointer is
|     checked after it has already been dereferenced, it cannot be null.
|     Enabled at levels `-O2', `-O3', `-Os'.

Now the problem can be seen with this test case:

#include <linux/prefetch.h>
extern void bar(char *x);
void foo(char *x)
{
prefetch(x);
if (x)
bar(x);
}

Because the constraint to the inline asm used in the prefetch() macro is
a memory operand, gcc assumes that the asm code does dereference the
pointer and the delete-null-pointer-checks optimization kicks in.
Inspection of generated assembly for the above example shows that bar()
is indeed called unconditionally without any test on the value of x.

Of course in the prefetch case there is no real dereference and it
cannot be assumed that a null pointer would have been caught at that
point. This causes kernel oopses with constructs like
hlist_for_each_entry() where the list's 'next' content is prefetched
before the pointer is tested against NULL, and only when gcc feels like
applying this optimization which doesn't happen all the time with more
complex code.

It appears that the way to prevent delete-null-pointer-checks
optimization to occur in this case is to make prefetch() into a static
inline function instead of a macro. At least this is what is done on
x86_64 where a similar inline asm memory operand is used (I presume they
would have seen the same problem if it didn't work) and resulting code
for the above example confirms that.

An alternative would consist of replacing the memory operand by a
register operand containing the pointer, and use the addressing mode
explicitly in the asm template. But that would be less optimal than an
offsettable memory reference.

[PATCH] Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork

Problem:

1. There is a process containing two thread (T1 and T2).  The
   thread T1 calls fork().  Then dup_mmap() function called on T1 context.

static inline int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm)
...
flush_cache_mm(current->mm);
... /* A */
(write-protect all Copy-On-Write pages)
... /* B */
flush_tlb_mm(current->mm);
...

2. When preemption happens between A and B (or on SMP kernel), the
   thread T2 can run and modify data on COW pages without page fault
   (modified data will stay in cache).

3. Some time after fork() completed, the thread T2 may cause a page
   fault by write-protect on a COW page.

4. Then data of the COW page will be copied to newly allocated
   physical page (copy_cow_page()).  It reads data via kernel mapping.
   The kernel mapping can have different 'color' with user space
   mapping of the thread T2 (dcache aliasing).  Therefore
   copy_cow_page() will copy stale data.  Then the modified data in
   cache will be lost.

In order to allow architecture code to deal with this problem allow
architecture code to override copy_user_highpage() by defining
__HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE in <asm/page.h>.

[PATCH] ide: fix HPT37x timing tables

Fix/remove bad/unused timing tables: HPT370/A 66 MHz tables weren't really
needed (the chips are not UltraATA/133 capable and shouldn't support 66 MHz
PCI) and had many modes over- and underclocked, HPT372 33 MHz table was in
fact for 66 MHz and 50 MHz table missed UltraDMA mode 6, HPT374 33 MHz table
was really for 50 MHz...  (Actually, HPT370/A 33 MHz tables also have issues.
e.g.  HPT370 has PIO modes 0/1 overlocked.)

There's also no need in the separate HPT374 tables because HPT372 timings
should be the same (and those tables has UltraDMA mode 6 which HPT374 supports
depending on HPT374_ALLOW_ATA133_6 #define)...

[PATCH] ide: HPT3xxN clocking fixes

Fix serious problems with the HPT372N clock turnaround code:

- the wrong ports were written to when called for the secondary channel;

- it didn't serialize access to the channels;

- turnaround shou;dn't be done on 66 MHz PCI;

- caching the clock mode per-channel caused it to get out of sync with the
  actual register value.

Additionally, avoid calibrating PLL twice (for each channel) as the second try
results in a wrong PCI frequency and thus in the wrong timings.

Make the driver deal with HPT302N and HPT371N correctly -- the clocking and
(seemingly) a need for clock tunaround is the same as for HPT372N.  HPT371/N
chips have only one, secondary channel, so avoid touching their "pure virtual"
primary channel, and disable it if the BIOS haven't done this already.

Also, while at it, disable UltraATA/133 for HPT372 by default -- 50 MHz DPLL
clock don't allow for this speed anyway.  And remove the traces of the former
bad patch that wasn't even applicable to this version of driver.

Has been tested on HPT370/371N, unfortunately I don't have an instant access
to the other chips...

[PATCH] Optimize calc_load()

calc_load() is called by timer interrupt to update avenrun[].  It currently
calls nr_active() at each timer tick (HZ per second), while the update of
avenrun[] is done only once every 5 seconds.  (LOAD_FREQ=5 Hz)

nr_active() is quite expensive on SMP machines, since it has to sum up
nr_running and nr_uninterruptible of all online CPUS, bringing foreign
dirty cache lines.

This patch is an optimization of calc_load() so that nr_active() is called
only if we need it.

The use of unlikely() is welcome since the condition is true only once every
5*HZ time.

[PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer

Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.

To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.

To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

Currently, if a task is stopped (ie.  it's in the TASK_STOPPED state), it
is considered by the freezer as unfreezeable.  However, there may be a race
between the freezer and the delivery of the continuation signal to the task
resulting in the task running after we have finished freezing the other
tasks.  This, in turn, may lead to undesirable effects up to and including
data corruption.

To prevent this from happening we first need to make the freezer consider
stopped tasks as freezeable.  For this purpose we need to make freezeable()
stop returning 0 for these tasks and we need to force them to enter the

17 years ago[PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()
Eric Dumazet [Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:34:27 +0000 (00:34 -0800)]
[PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()

When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can
consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index().

(Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are
handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is
running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs))

Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this
divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel.  But Opteron are
quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest
architectures :

On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1
cycle for a multiply.

Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide.

If we want to compute V = (A / B)  (A and B being u32 quantities)
we can instead use :

V = ((u64)A * RECIPROCAL(B)) >> 32 ;

where RECIPROCAL(B) is precalculated to ((1LL << 32) + (B - 1)) / B

Note :

I wrote pure C code for clarity. gcc output for i386 is not optimal but
acceptable :

mull   0x14(%ebx)
mov    %edx,%eax // part of the >> 32
xor     %edx,%edx // useless
mov    %eax,(%esp) // could be avoided
mov    %edx,0x4(%esp) // useless
mov    (%esp),%ebx

17 years ago[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Paul Jackson [Wed, 13 Dec 2006 08:34:25 +0000 (00:34 -0800)]
[PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api

Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:

  cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
  cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()

Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.

If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.

Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it.  Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.

The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)

The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)

This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.

If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.

This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines.  It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.

For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.

Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

[PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocators

This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting
slab.h components per allocator.  Patch is against 2.6.19-git11.  See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2

This patch cleans up the slab header definitions.  We define the common
functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed
for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>.  In order to get
a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c
and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc.

Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback
case.  If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own
kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions.
That is sufficient for SLOB.

Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality.  First the
functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related
functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions.

The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the

unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small

have smaller instruction lengths.

Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have
small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure.
