      parisc: fix irq stack on UP and SMP · d96b51ec
      Helge Deller authored
      
      The logic to detect if the irq stack was already in use with
      raw_spin_trylock() is wrong, because it will generate a "trylock failure
      on UP" error message with CONFIG_SMP=n and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y.
      
      arch_spin_trylock() can't be used either since in the CONFIG_SMP=n case
      no atomic protection is given and we are reentrant here. A mutex didn't
      worked either and brings more overhead by turning off interrupts.
      
      So, let's use the fastest path for parisc which is the ldcw instruction.
      
      Counting how often the irq stack was used is pretty useless, so just
      drop this piece of code.

      parisc: implement irq stacks - part 2 (v2) · 416821d3
      Helge Deller authored
      
      This patch fixes few build issues which were introduced with the last
      irq stack patch, e.g. the combination of stack overflow check and irq
      stack.
      
      Furthermore we now do proper locking and change the irq bh handler
      to use the irq stack as well.
      
      In /proc/interrupts one now can monitor how huge the irq stack has grown
      and how often it was preferred over the kernel stack.
      
      IRQ stacks are now enabled by default just to make sure that we not
      overflow the kernel stack by accident.

      parisc: implement irq stacks · 200c8804
      Helge Deller authored
      
      Default kernel stack size on parisc is 16k.  During tests we found that the
      kernel stack can easily grow beyond 13k, which leaves 3k left for irq
      processing.
      
      This patch adds the possibility to activate an additional stack of 16k per CPU
      which is being used during irq processing.  This implementation does not yet
      uses this irq stack for the irq bh handler.
      
      The assembler code for call_on_stack was heavily cleaned up by John
      David Anglin.

      fork: move the real prepare_to_copy() users to arch_dup_task_struct() · 55ccf3fe
      Suresh Siddha authored
      
      Historical prepare_to_copy() is mostly a no-op, duplicated for majority of
      the architectures and the rest following the x86 model of flushing the extended
      register state like fpu there.
      
      Remove it and use the arch_dup_task_struct() instead.

      [PATCH] spinlock consolidation · fb1c8f93
      Ingo Molnar authored
      
      This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
      de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code.  It does the following
      things:
      
       - consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
      
       - simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
      
       - encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
         features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
      
       - cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
      
      Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
      located in lib/spinlock_debug.c.  (previously we had one SMP debugging
      variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
      
      Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
      write-owners.  There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
      All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
      spin/rwlock lockups.
      
      The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
      subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
      lives in the generic headers:
      
       include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h       |   16
       include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h     |   16
      
      I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
      making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
      
         SMP                         |  UP
         ----------------------------|-----------------------------------
         asm/spinlock_types_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_types_up.h
         linux/spinlock_types.h      |  linux/spinlock_types.h
         asm/spinlock_smp.h          |  linux/spinlock_up.h
         linux/spinlock_api_smp.h    |  linux/spinlock_api_up.h
         linux/spinlock.h            |  linux/spinlock.h
      
      /*
       * here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
       *
       * on SMP builds:
       *
       *  asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
       *                        initializers
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
       *                        defines the generic type and initializers
       *
       *  asm/spinlock.h:       contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
       *                        implementations, mostly inline assembly code
       *
       *   (also included on UP-debug builds:)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
       *                        contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
       *
       *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.
       *
       * on UP builds:
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
       *                        contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
       *                        (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_types.h:
       *                        defines the generic type and initializers
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_up.h:
       *                        contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
       *                        builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
       *                        builds)
       *
       *   (included on UP-non-debug builds:)
       *
       *  linux/spinlock_api_up.h:
       *                        builds the _spin_*() APIs.

       *  linux/spinlock.h:     builds the final spin_*() APIs.

      All SMP and UP architectures are converted by this patch.
      
      arm, i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390/s390x, x64 was build-tested via
      crosscompilers.  m32r, mips, sh, sparc, have not been tested yet, but should
      be mostly fine.

        Booted and lightly tested on a500-44 (64-bit, SMP kernel, dual CPU).
        Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested).  I did not try to build
        non-SMP kernels.  That should be trivial to fix up later if necessary.
      
        I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t.  Doing so avoids
        some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files.  Those particular locks
        are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code.  I do NOT
        expect any new issues to arise with them.
      
       If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
        need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
        that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
        (load and clear word).

      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
