Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.
Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

This is a compromise and a temporary workaround for bootup NMI
watchdog triggers some people see with qla2xxx devices present.
This happens when, for example:
CPU 0 is in the driver init and looping submitting mailbox commands to
load the firmware, then waiting for completion.
CPU 1 is receiving the device interrupts. CPU 1 is where the NMI
watchdog triggers.
CPU 0 is submitting mailbox commands fast enough that by the time CPU
1 returns from the device interrupt handler, a new one is pending.
This sequence runs for more than 5 seconds.
The problematic case is CPU 1's timer interrupt running when the
barrage of device interrupts begin. Then we have:
timer interrupt
return for softirq checking
pending, thus enable interrupts
qla2xxx interrupt
return
qla2xxx interrupt
return
... 5+ seconds pass
final qla2xxx interrupt for fw load
return
run timer softirq
return
At some point in the multi-second qla2xxx interrupt storm we trigger
the NMI watchdog on CPU 1 from the NMI interrupt handler.
The timer softirq, once we get back to running it, is smart enough to
run the timer work enough times to make up for the missed timer
interrupts.
However, the NMI watchdogs (both x86 and sparc) use the timer
interrupt count to notice the cpu is wedged. But in the above
scenerio we'll receive only one such timer interrupt even if we last
all the way back to running the timer softirq.
The default watchdog trigger point is only 5 seconds, which is pretty
low (the softwatchdog triggers at 60 seconds). So increase it to 30
seconds for now.

Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent. This
replaces the parent's session keyring. Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again. Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.
To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.
The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.
Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME. This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.
This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership. However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.
This can be tested with the following program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <keyutils.h>
#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT 18
#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
key_serial_t keyring, key;
long ret;
keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");
key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
OSERROR(key, "add_key");
ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");
return 0;
}
Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:
[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
Session Keyring
-3 --alswrv 4043 4043 keyring: _ses
355907932 --alswrv 4043 -1 \_ keyring: _uid.4043

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel
address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
crap.
So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
that actually exists.
In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we
make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates
"I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.
The result of this is that:
1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size
2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap
We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.
If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.
To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We
could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
unnecessary extra memory reference.
On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
in the TLB miss path.

Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow
determination of the cpu we're on. All of the trap tables have
identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first
trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines
the cpu we are on.
The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used
(don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes
problems.
For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging
code. And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset
thing isn't trivial.
So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big
deal...

sparc64 currently allocates a large page for each cpu and partially
remap them into vmalloc area much like what lpage first chunk
allocator did. As a 4M page is used for each cpu, this results in
very large unit size and also adds TLB pressure due to the double
mapping of pages in the first chunk.
This patch converts sparc64 to use the embedding percpu first chunk
allocator which now knows how to handle NUMA configurations. This
simplifies the code a lot, doesn't incur any extra TLB pressure and
results in better utilization of address space.

Currently units are mapped sequentially into address space. This
patch adds pcpu_unit_offsets[] which allows units to be mapped to
arbitrary offsets from the chunk base address. This is necessary to
allow sparse embedding which might would need to allocate address
ranges and memory areas which aren't aligned to unit size but
allocation atom size (page or large page size). This also simplifies
things a bit by removing the need to calculate offset from unit
number.
With this change, there's no need for the arch code to know
pcpu_unit_size. Update pcpu_setup_first_chunk() and first chunk
allocators to return regular 0 or -errno return code instead of unit
size or -errno.

Till now, non-linear cpu->unit map was expressed using an integer
array which maps each cpu to a unit and used only by lpage allocator.
Although how many units have been placed in a single contiguos area
(group) is known while building unit_map, the information is lost when
the result is recorded into the unit_map array. For lpage allocator,
as all allocations are done by lpages and whether two adjacent lpages
are in the same group or not is irrelevant, this didn't cause any
problem. Non-linear cpu->unit mapping will be used for sparse
embedding and this grouping information is necessary for that.
This patch introduces pcpu_alloc_info which contains all the
information necessary for initializing percpu allocator.
pcpu_alloc_info contains array of pcpu_group_info which describes how
units are grouped and mapped to cpus. pcpu_group_info also has
base_offset field to specify its offset from the chunk's base address.
pcpu_build_alloc_info() initializes this field as if all groups are
allocated back-to-back as is currently done but this will be used to
sparsely place groups.
pcpu_alloc_info is a rather complex data structure which contains a
flexible array which in turn points to nested cpu_map arrays.
* pcpu_alloc_alloc_info() and pcpu_free_alloc_info() are provided to
help dealing with pcpu_alloc_info.
* pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() is updated to build pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_build_alloc_info().
@cpu_distance_fn may be NULL indicating that all cpus are of
LOCAL_DISTANCE.
* pcpul_lpage_dump_cfg() is updated to process pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_dump_alloc_info(). It now also
prints which group each alloc unit belongs to.
* pcpu_setup_first_chunk() now takes pcpu_alloc_info instead of the
separate parameters. All first chunk allocators are updated to use
pcpu_build_alloc_info() to build alloc_info and call
pcpu_setup_first_chunk() with it. This has the side effect of
packing units for sparse possible cpus. ie. if cpus 0, 2 and 4 are
possible, they'll be assigned unit 0, 1 and 2 instead of 0, 2 and 4.
* x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() is updated to deal with alloc_info.
* sparc64 setup_per_cpu_areas() is updated to build alloc_info.
Although the changes made by this patch are pretty pervasive, it
doesn't cause any behavior difference other than packing of sparse
cpus. It mostly changes how information is passed among
initialization functions and makes room for more flexibility.

As Andrew noted, my previous patch ("debug lockups: Improve lockup
detection") broke/removed SysRq-L support from architecture that do
not provide a __trigger_all_cpu_backtrace implementation.
Restore a fallback path and clean up the SysRq-L machinery a bit:
- Rename the arch method to arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
- Simplify the define
- Document the method a bit - in the hope of more architectures
adding support for it.
[ The patch touches Sparc code for the rename. ]

Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.
The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.
A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.
A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.
In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.
To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.
I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

Discarded sections in different archs share some commonality but have
considerable differences. This led to linker script for each arch
implementing its own /DISCARD/ definition, which makes maintaining
tedious and adding new entries error-prone.
This patch makes all linker scripts to move discard definitions to the
end of the linker script and use the common DISCARDS macro. As ld
uses the first matching section definition, archs can include default
discarded sections by including them earlier in the linker script.
ia64 is notable because it first throws away some ia64 specific
subsections and then include the rest of the sections into the final
image, so those sections must be discarded before the inclusion.

Currently cpu and unit are always identity mapped. To allow more
efficient large page support on NUMA and lazy allocation for possible
but offline cpus, cpu -> unit mapping needs to be non-linear and/or
sparse. This can be easily implemented by adding a cpu -> unit
mapping array and using it whenever looking up the matching unit for a
cpu.
The only unusal conversion is in pcpu_chunk_addr_search(). The passed
in address is unit0 based and unit0 might not be in use so it needs to
be converted to address of an in-use unit. This is easily done by
adding the unit offset for the current processor.

percpu core doesn't need to tack all the allocated pages. It needs to
know whether certain pages are populated and a way to reverse map
address to page when freeing. This patch drops pcpu_chunk->page[] and
use populated bitmap and vmalloc_to_page() lookup instead. Using
vmalloc_to_page() exclusively is also possible but complicates first
chunk handling, inflates cache footprint and prevents non-standard
memory allocation for percpu memory.
pcpu_chunk->page[] was used to track each page's allocation and
allowed asymmetric population which happens during failure path;
however, with single bitmap for all units, this is no longer possible.
Bite the bullet and rewrite (de)populate functions so that things are
done in clearly separated steps such that asymmetric population
doesn't happen. This makes the (de)population process much more
modular and will also ease implementing non-standard memory usage in
the future (e.g. large pages).
This makes @get_page_fn parameter to pcpu_setup_first_chunk()
unnecessary. The parameter is dropped and all first chunk helpers are
updated accordingly. Please note that despite the volume most changes
to first chunk helpers are symbol renames for variables which don't
need to be referenced outside of the helper anymore.
This change reduces memory usage and cache footprint of pcpu_chunk.
Now only #unit_pages bits are necessary per chunk.

Now that all first chunk allocator helpers allocate and map the first
chunk themselves, there's no need to have optional default alloc/map
in pcpu_setup_first_chunk(). Drop @populate_pte_fn and only leave
@dyn_size optional and make all other params mandatory.

irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
just cpu_online_map). The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
fail since the two masks are not the same. So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...
Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2. Also, the irq_rover in
irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released. This may lead
to an unbalanced distribution over time.
A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
interrupt distribution. For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
cores first, and then to strands within a core.
The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
distribution on a T2. The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.

This gets us real close to the generic implementation of
setup_per_cpu_areas() except:
1) We store the per-cpu offset into the trap_block[], whereas
the generic code has it's own static array.
2) We have to initialize the %g5 register to hold the boot cpu's
per-cpu area offset.
3) The OBP/MDESC cpu info scan is performed at the end.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
