No section mismatch warnings for Thumb2 kernels

by Jon Medhurst (Tixy)

After some time investigating why I wasn't seeing some kernel section mismatch errors that someone else was seeing, I found the cause was that in Linaro we build Thumb2 kernels in the main, and modpost.c doesn't have support for any of the Thumb relocation types in addend_arm_rel(). I thought I would spread this knowledge, because lack of section mismatch warnings means we might miss some nasty bugs when developing code. If this is old news, then sorry for the noise. -- Tixy

[Query]: Regmap v3.8: Compilation Warning: regmap_read_debugfs()

Hi Mark, I am getting compilation warning while compiling v3.8 commit 19f949f52599ba7c3f67a5897ac6be14bfcb1200 Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds(a)linux-foundation.org> Date: Mon Feb 18 15:58:34 2013 -0800 Linux 3.8 Warning: CC drivers/base/regmap/regmap-debugfs.o drivers/base/regmap/regmap-debugfs.c: In function ‘regmap_read_debugfs’: drivers/base/regmap/regmap-debugfs.c:180:9: warning: ‘ret’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] I am unable to understand why this warning is coming and that too on line 180 (as that doesn't use this variable).

by David Long

=== David Long === === Travel/Time Off === * Monday February 18th (U.S. Washington's Birthday, aka President's Day) === Highlights === Coming up to speed on process. * Studied the history and content of Rabin Vincent's ARM uprobe kernel patch. It does a good job of integrating with existing kprobe instruction interpretation code. * Upleveled the uprobe patch to 3.7 (for now) and booted on 4460 Panda. I am experimenting with it to verify basic correct operation. * Sent email to Rabin on the topic of assisting in getting this patch upstreamed. === Plans === * Once basic functionality is veriried uplevel the patch to 3.8 and complete testing (especially as regards Thumb). * Determine if it is possible to work with the patch originator, or push for this patch independently. === Issues === * Eventually I will need hardware other than Panda for testing. For now Panda works well enough, and QEMU is (theoretically) an option. -dl

[PATCH] arm: add check for global exclusive monitor

by Vladimir Murzin

Since ARMv6 new atomic instructions have been introduced: ldrex/strex. Several implementation are possible based on (1) global and local exclusive monitors and (2) local exclusive monitor and snoop unit. In case of the 2nd option exclusive store operation on uncached region may be faulty. Check for availability of the global monitor to provide some hint about possible issues.

[PATCH] memcg: Add memory.pressure_level events

by Anton Vorontsov

With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the new pressure level notifications. The levels are defined like this: The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new allocations. Monitoring reclaiming activity might be useful for maintaining overall system's cache level. Upon notification, the program (typically "Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e. prematurely shutdown unimportant services). The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory pressure, there is some mild swapping activity. Upon this event applications may decide to analyze vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk. The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its way to trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the system. It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action. The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e. the events are not pass-through. Here is what this means: for example you have three cgroups: A->B->C. Now you set up an event listener on cgroup A and cgroup B, and suppose group C experiences some pressure. In this situation, only group B will receive the notification, i.e. group A will not receive it. This is done to avoid excessive "broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing. So, organize the cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.) The file mempressure.level is used to show the current memory pressure level, and cgroups event control file can be used to setup an eventfd notification with a specific memory pressure level threshold. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <anton.vorontsov(a)linaro.org> Acked-by: Kirill A. Shutemov <kirill(a)shutemov.name> --- Hi all, Here comes another iteration of the memory pressure saga. The previous version of the patch (and discussion) can be found here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/4/55 And here are changes in this revision: - Andrew Morton was concerned that the mempressure stuff was tied to memcg, which was non-issue since mempressure wasn't actually bolted into memcg at that time. But now it is. :) So now you need memcg to use mempressure. Why? It makes things easier, simpler (e.g. this ends any questions on how two different cgroups would interact, which can be complex when two are distinct entities). Plus, as I understood it, that's how cgroup folks want to see it eventually; - Only cgroups API implemented. Let's start with making memcg people happy, i.e. handling the most complex cases, and then we can start with any niche solutions; - Implemented Minchan Kim's idea of checking gfp mask. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as checking '__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE', since we also need to account files caches and kswapd reclaim. But even so we can filter out DMA or atomic allocations, which are not interesting for userland. Plus it opens doors for other gfp tuning, so definitely a good stuff; - Per Leonid Moiseichuk's comments decreased vmpressure_level_critical to 95. I didn't look close enough, but it seems that we the minimum step is indeed ~3%, and 99% makes it actually 100%. 95% should be fine; - Per Kamezawa Hiroyuki added some words into documentation about that it's always a good idea to consult with vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg statistics before taking any action (with the exception of critical level). Also added 'TODO' wrt. automatic window adjustment; - Documented events propagation strategy; - Removed ulong/uint usage, per Andrew's comments; - Glauber Costa didn't like too short and non-descriptive mpc_ naming, suggesting mempressure_ instead. And Andrew suggested mpcg_. I went with something completely different: vmpressure_/vmpr_. :) Also renamed xxx2yyy() to xxx_to_yyy() per Glauber Costa suggestion. - _OOM level renamed to _CRITICAL. Andrew wanted _HIGH affix, but by using 'critical' I want to denote that this level is the last one (e.g. we might want to introduce _HIGH some time later, if we can find a good definition for it); - This patch does not include shrinker interface. In the last series I showed that implementing shrinker is possible, and that it actually can be useful. At the same time I explained that shrinker is not a substitution for the pressure levels. So, once we settle on the simple thing, I might continue my shrinker efforts (which, btw, QEMU guys found interesting and potentionally useful). For those who curious, the shrinker patch is here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/1/4/56 - Now tested with various debugging & preempt checks enabled, plus added small comments on locks usage, thanks to Andrew; - Rebased onto the current linux-next; - While the thing somewhat changed, I preserved Kirill's ack. Kirill at least liked the idea, and I desperately need Acks. :-D Thanks!

by Linus Walleij

== Linus Walleij linusw == === Highlights === * Finalized AB8500 GPIO pathes, tested and obtained working IRQs. Merged some of these into the MFD tree, some into the pinctrl tree and some into a patch set targeted at ARM SoC. * GPIO maintenance: - Handed working tree over to Grant, who picked it and added some more. - Reviewed some of the nice GPIO descriptor rework patches, and Grant started merging some of them. * Pinctrl maintenance: - Requested Torvalds to pull in the last two pinctrl fixes. He pulled them in. - Merged the ABx500 pinctrl stuff. - Merged a bunch of lantiq patches. * Reviewed some PXA SPI DMA stuff, they are basically splitting the custom DMA API from the dmaengine API to optionally compile out the former and eventually delete it, and this is nice stuff. The PXA SPI is apparently also used by all the Intel SoC:s so this is a big win. * Cooked two fix-up patches agains the compile regression introduced in the ux500 due to the <mach/id.h> removal patches. Sent two patches fixing it up: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=136051407426331&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=136051407826332&w=2 Hopefully these can get merged. Still no clue how I managed to screw things up like this, I know for sure I compiled this branch, but maybe new support was introduced somewher in the v3.7 cycle and I missed it. * Russell merged the Versatile QEMU PCI fix. * Interviewed a potential KWG assignee on Deepak's request. * Got fed up with people not fixing the NO_IRQ business (i.e. using Linux IRQ 0), so I sent two attack-patches bumping fixed Linux IRQ offsets to 64 for mach-netx and mach-ep93xx. netx patch ACKed, merging through Russell. * Bystanding Fabio while he was root-casing an issue on the DMA40 DMA controller. He found the culprit and everyone is happy. * Debated heavy subjects: - Is virtio or dmaengine the best way forward for OMAPs odd USB acceleration. - Status of the HSI subsystem. - Deferred probe is completing after __init sections have been discarded, on the assumption nothing needing these sections will be around. That doesn't work for the console set-up calls, d'oh. Haojian has an interesting pending patch: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136042916203488&w=2 === Plans === * Finalize a GPIO+pinctrl presentation for the Embedded Linux Conference next week. My presentation will be first day of the conference. It's all fun! I will be travelling and hanging out at ELC the whole next week, monday 18th thru monday the 25th. * Attack the remaining headers in arch/arm/mach-ux500 so we can move forward with multiplatform for v3.9. * Convert Nomadik pinctrl driver to register GPIO ranges from the gpiochip side. * Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using pl08x DMA on that platform. * Look into other Ux500 stuff in need of mainlining... using an internal tracking sheet for this. * Get hands dirty with regmap. === Issues === * Some stress still but feels better when thing have started working and regressions get fixed. Thanks, Linus Walleij

== Ulf Hansson == === Highlights === Storage: * Monitoring patches on mmc-list. * Patches for fixing signal voltage switch procedure for SD card UHS mode ready. Acked and tested by different host driver authors. * Patch for improve dma handling for mmci host driver accepted for 3.9. * Cooperating with internal STE colleague, Johan Rudholm, with regards to rework parts of the HS200 and SDR104 support in the mmc protocol layer. * Received another eMMC -> SD card adapter with corresponding eMMC 4.5 samples, this time from Toshiba via Pär Andersson. Really great to have another vendor to test with, thanks Toshiba! Clk: * Still high focus doing internal work for STE ux500. Started to prepare a patchset for upstream this work, some dependencies to Lee Jones upstream work for mfd driver related parts which complicates it a bit. The patches will add support for abx500 clocks, update different driver's clk support and include ux500 clk optimizations. * Follow up on patchset for fixing clk_set_parent API. * Follow up on patchset for disable unsed prepared clks. === Plans === Storage: * Follow up on Idle time BKOPS patches on mmc list. Will soon send a skeleton patch which the work can be based upon, related to runtime PM. * Doing an overall analyse about the eMMC 4.5/4.6 features. Check what can be considered finished, what needs further fixing and point out the new features for which we should spend our focus on in Linaro storage team. As also stated above, rework of HS200/SDR104 support started. * Push patches for mmci host driver to support UHS cards. * Push patches for mmci host driver to further extend the power management support. * Push patches for mmci host driver to add new features like CMD23 support and more. * Push patches for mmci host driver to add support for new STE 8540 variant. Clk: * Upstreaming of internal work for ux500. === Issues === * Still need to increase focus towards storage, all work related to clks has been given give higher prio for a while now. Kind regards Ulf Hansson

== Linus Walleij linusw == === Highlights === * Working on AB8500 GPIO as it is a roadblock for the multiplatform, as it is a SPARSE_IRQ regression. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/linux-linaro/+spec/ab8500-gpio-shapeup Working on Lee Jones' cleanup and IRQ fixup series. Finally aquired a hardware that can actually fire these IRQs. * Requested Torvalds to pull in a bunch of pinctrl fixes and he pulled them in. One outstanding patch needs to be sent still :-( * GPIO maintenance: - Got PCA GPIO cleanups back from maintainer, modified and working, merged them. - Merged ACPI extensions for gpiolib from Mathias Nyman, the build robot found issues, have asked Mathias to fix them. - Finalizing tree for the merge window. * Pinctrl maintenance: - Merged a few allwinner pinctrl patches. More yet queued. - Finalizing tree for the merge window. * Arnd found a bug in the Nomadik (mach-nomadik) device tree patch set: need to select USE_OF over just OF. Made a patch and sent it. * Got an ACK for the missing <mach/id.h> removal dependency from the MFD maintainer. Send a pull request for it, and it has landed in linux-next. However I seem to have screwed up the patch set somehow and now I must fix it :-( * Fixed a regression in the Versatile QEMU PCI code. (I don't know if anyone is actually using the QEMU Versatile PCI on real hardware, or if that even really works. There are rumors that it does not.) The patch is in Russell's patch tracker: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=7635/1 === Plans === * First fix the AB8500 GPIO mess. * Large pinctrl single patch set in the INBOX. * Large GPIO descriptor rework patch set in the INBOX. * Attack the remaining headers in arch/arm/mach-ux500 so we can move forward with multiplatform for v3.9. * Convert Nomadik pinctrl driver to register GPIO ranges from the gpiochip side. * Test the PL08x patches on the Ericsson Research PB11MPCore and submit platform data for using pl08x DMA on that platform. * Look into other Ux500 stuff in need of mainlining... using an internal tracking sheet for this. * Get hands dirty with regmap. === Issues === * The constant overload and still a feeling of not doing progress make me do stupid mistakes like the bug in the Nomadik patch set and the <mach/id.h> removal bugs. Maybe I should drop some stuff from the merge window to avoid more stupid mistakes. Thanks, Linus Walleij
