PM / Runtime: Implement autosuspend support

This patch (as1427) implements the "autosuspend" facility for runtime
PM.  A few new fields are added to the dev_pm_info structure and
several new PM helper functions are defined, for telling the PM core
whether or not a device uses autosuspend, for setting the autosuspend
delay, and for marking periods of device activity.

Drivers that do not want to use autosuspend can continue using the
same helper functions as before; their behavior will not change.  In
addition, drivers supporting autosuspend can also call the old helper
functions to get the old behavior.

The details are all explained in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt
and Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-power.

PM / Runtime: Add no_callbacks flag

Some devices, such as USB interfaces, cannot be power-managed
independently of their parents, i.e., they cannot be put in low power
while the parent remains at full power.  This patch (as1425) creates a
new "no_callbacks" flag, which tells the PM core not to invoke the
runtime-PM callback routines for the such devices but instead to
assume that the callbacks always succeed.  In addition, the
non-debugging runtime-PM sysfs attributes for the devices are removed,
since they are pretty much meaningless.

The advantage of this scheme comes not so much from avoiding the
callbacks themselves, but rather from the fact that without the need
for a process context in which to run the callbacks, more work can be
done in interrupt context.

The new entry points are named __pm_runtime_idle,
__pm_runtime_suspend, and __pm_runtime_resume, to reflect that they

serves to indicate what sort of operation to perform.

In the course of performing this merger, it became apparent that the
various functions don't all behave consistenly with regard to error
reporting and cancellation of outstanding requests.  A new routine,
rpm_check_suspend_allowed(), was written to centralize much of the
testing, and the other functions were revised to follow a simple
algorithm:

If the operation is disallowed because of the device's
settings or current state, return an error.

Cancel pending or scheduled requests of lower priority.

The "from_wq" argument in __pm_runtime_suspend() and

return early if the requested operation is already in progress.

Along with this badly-named boolean argument, later patches in this
series will add several other boolean arguments to these functions and
others.  Therefore this patch (as1422) begins the conversion process
by replacing from_wq with a bitflag argument.  The same bitflags are
also used in __pm_runtime_get() and __pm_runtime_put(), where they

PM: Fix potential issue with failing asynchronous suspend

There is a potential issue with the asynchronous suspend code that
a device driver suspending asynchronously may not notice that it
should back off.  There are two failing scenarions, (1) when the
driver is waiting for a driver suspending synchronously to complete
and that second driver returns error code, in which case async_error
won't be set and the waiting driver will continue suspending and (2)
after the driver has called device_pm_wait_for_dev() and the waited
for driver returns error code, in which case the caller of
device_pm_wait_for_dev() will not know that there was an error and
will continue suspending.

To fix this issue make __device_suspend() set async_error, so
async_suspend() doesn't need to set it any more, and make
device_pm_wait_for_dev() return async_error, so that its callers
can check whether or not they should continue suspending.

No more changes are necessary, since device_pm_wait_for_dev() is
not used by any drivers' suspend routines.

ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restart

Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
updated sector wasn't being used.

ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread.  When
issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
put on the restart list and issuing stops.  On IO completion, devices
on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.

ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
to restart in its current request.  ubd needs to keep track of the
issue position itself because,

* blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
  _completion_ position.

* Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
  difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.

Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
correctly restart io_req issue.

end up waiting for completion timeouts or descriptor allocation errors before
the completion state is updated.

PHY attached to it, it is directly connected to a somewhat simple
ethernet switch (the board is the SnapGear/LITE, and the attached
4-port ethernet switch is a RealTek RTL8305). This switch does not
present the usual register interface of a PHY, it presents nothing.
So a PHY scan will find nothing - it finds ID's of 0 for each PHY
on the attached MII bus.

After the FEC driver was changed to use phylib for supporting PHYs
it no longer works on this particular board/switch setup.

Add code support to use a fixed phy if no PHY is found on the MII bus.

Time stamps for the ring buffer are created by the difference between
two events. Each page of the ring buffer holds a full 64 bit timestamp.
Each event has a 27 bit delta stamp from the last event. The unit of time
is nanoseconds, so 27 bits can hold ~134 milliseconds. If two events
happen more than 134 milliseconds apart, a time extend is inserted
to add more bits for the delta. The time extend has 59 bits, which
is good for ~18 years.

Currently the time extend is committed separately from the event.
If an event is discarded before it is committed, due to filtering,
the time extend still exists. If all events are being filtered, then
after ~134 milliseconds a new time extend will be added to the buffer.

This can only happen till the end of the page. Since each page holds
a full timestamp, there is no reason to add a time extend to the
beginning of a page. Time extends can only fill a page that has actual
data at the beginning, so there is no fear that time extends will fill
more than a page without any data.

When reading an event, a loop is made to skip over time extends
since they are only used to maintain the time stamp and are never
given to the caller. As a paranoid check to prevent the loop running
forever, with the knowledge that time extends may only fill a page,
a check is made that tests the iteration of the loop, and if the
iteration is more than the number of time extends that can fit in a page
a warning is printed and the ring buffer is disabled (all of ftrace
is also disabled with it).

There is another event type that is called a TIMESTAMP which can
hold 64 bits of data in the theoretical case that two events happen
18 years apart. This code has not been implemented, but the name
of this event exists, as well as the structure for it. The
size of a TIMESTAMP is 16 bytes, where as a time extend is only
8 bytes. The macro used to calculate how many time extends can fit on
a page used the TIMESTAMP size instead of the time extend size
cutting the amount in half.

The following test case can easily trigger the warning since we only
need to have half the page filled with time extends to trigger the
warning:

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
 # echo function > current_tracer
 # echo 'common_pid < 0' > events/ftrace/function/filter
 # echo > trace
 # echo 1 > trace_marker
 # sleep 120
 # cat trace

Enabling the function tracer and then setting the filter to only trace
functions where the process id is negative (no events), then clearing
the trace buffer to ensure that we have nothing in the buffer,
then write to trace_marker to add an event to the beginning of a page,
sleep for 2 minutes (only 35 seconds is probably needed, but this
guarantees the bug), and then finally reading the trace which will
trigger the bug.

This patch fixes the typo and prevents the false positive of that warning.

13 years agofanotify: disable fanotify syscalls
Eric Paris [Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:13:31 +0000 (18:13 -0400)]
fanotify: disable fanotify syscalls

This patch disables the fanotify syscalls by just not building them and
letting the cond_syscall() statements in kernel/sys_ni.c redirect them
to sys_ni_syscall().

It was pointed out by Tvrtko Ursulin that the fanotify interface did not
include an explicit prioritization between groups.  This is necessary
for fanotify to be usable for hierarchical storage management software,
as they must get first access to the file, before inotify-like notifiers
see the file.

This feature can be added in an ABI compatible way in the next release
(by using a number of bits in the flags field to carry the info) but it
was suggested by Alan that maybe we should just hold off and do it in
the next cycle, likely with an (new) explicit argument to the syscall.
I don't like this approach best as I know people are already starting to
use the current interface, but Alan is all wise and noone on list backed
me up with just using what we have.  I feel this is needlessly ripping
the rug out from under people at the last minute, but if others think it
needs to be a new argument it might be the best way forward.

Three choices:
Go with what we got (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Add a
new field right now (and implement the new feature next cycle).  Wait
till next cycle to release the ABI (and implement the new feature next
cycle).  This is number 3.

13 years agox86, AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order

x86, AMD, MCE thresholding: Fix the MCi_MISCj iteration order

This fixes possible cases of not collecting valid error info in
the MCE error thresholding groups on F10h hardware.

The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the
Valid bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0 - DRAM
thresholding group) in its first iteration and breaking out if
the bit is cleared.

But (!), this MSR contains an offset value, BlkPtr[31:24], which
points to the remaining MSRs in this thresholding group which
might contain valid information too. But if we bail out only
after we checked the valid bit in the first MSR and not the
block pointer too, we miss that other information.

The thing is, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on
MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked
prior to iterating over the MCI_MISCj thresholding group,
irrespective of the MC4_MISC0[Valid] setting.
