headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.h

2009-10-11T18:20:58Z

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

NOHZ: update idle state also when NOHZ is inactive

2009-10-07T11:05:05Z

Commit f2e21c9610991e95621a81407cdbab881226419b had unfortunate side effects with cpufreq governors on some systems. If the system did not switch into NOHZ mode ts->inidle is not set when tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() is called from the idle routine. Therefor all subsequent calls from irq_exit() to tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() fail to call tick_nohz_start_idle(). This results in bogus idle accounting information which is passed to cpufreq governors. Set the inidle flag unconditionally of the NOHZ active state to keep the idle time accounting correct in any case.

clocksource: Resume clocksource without taking the clocksource mutex

git commit 75c5158f70c065b9 converted the clocksource spinlock to a mutex. This causes the following BUG: BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/mutex.c:280 in_atomic(): 0, irqs_disabled(): 1, pid: 2473, name: pm-suspend 2 locks held by pm-suspend/2473: #0: (&buffer->mutex){......}, at: [] sysfs_write_file+0x3c/0x137 #1: (pm_mutex){......}, at: [] enter_state+0x39/0x130 Pid: 2473, comm: pm-suspend Not tainted 2.6.31 #1 Call Trace: [] ? __debug_show_held_locks+0x22/0x24 [] __might_sleep+0x107/0x10b [] mutex_lock_nested+0x25/0x43 [] clocksource_resume+0x1c/0x60 [] timekeeping_resume+0x1e/0x1c8 [] __sysdev_resume+0x25/0xcf [] sysdev_resume+0x6d/0xae [] suspend_devices_and_enter+0x12b/0x1af [] enter_state+0xdf/0x130 [] state_store+0xb6/0xd3 [] kobj_attr_store+0x17/0x19 [] sysfs_write_file+0xfb/0x137 [] vfs_write+0xae/0x10b [] ? __up_read+0x1a/0x7f [] sys_write+0x4a/0x6e [] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b clocksource_resume is called early in the resume process, there is only one cpu, no processes are running and the interrupts are disabled.

time: add function to convert between calendar time and broken-down time for universal use

2009-09-24T14:20:56Z

There are many similar code in kernel for one object: convert time between calendar time and broken-down time. Here is some source I found: fs/ncpfs/dir.c fs/smbfs/proc.c fs/fat/misc.c fs/udf/udftime.c fs/cifs/netmisc.c net/netfilter/xt_time.c drivers/scsi/ips.c drivers/input/misc/hp_sdc_rtc.c drivers/rtc/rtc-lib.c arch/ia64/hp/sim/boot/fw-emu.c arch/m68k/mac/misc.c arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c arch/parisc/include/asm/rtc.h ... We can make a common function for this type of conversion, At least we can get following benefit: 1: Make kernel simple and unify 2: Easy to fix bug in converting code 3: Reduce clone of code in future For example, I'm trying to make ftrace display walltime, this patch will make me easy.

clocksource: Delay clocksource down rating to late boot

2009-09-14T19:59:32Z

The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up. The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until clocksource_done_booting() is called.

clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstable, fix crash

2009-09-11T18:17:18Z

The watchdog timer is started after the watchdog clocksource and at least one watched clocksource have been registered. The clocksource work element watchdog_work is initialized just before the clocksource timer is started. This is too late for the clocksource_mark_unstable call from native_cpu_up. To fix this use a static initializer for watchdog_work. This resolves a boot crash reported by multiple people.
