Revert "parisc: Mark sched_clock unstable only if clocks are not syncronized"

2022-05-12T10:30:26+00:00

commit 7962c0896429af2a0e00ec6bc15d992536453b2d upstream.

This reverts commit d97180ad68bdb7ee10f327205a649bc2f558741d.

It triggers RCU stalls at boot with a 32-bit kernel.

parisc: Mark sched_clock unstable only if clocks are not syncronized

2021-09-09T10:44:31+00:00

We check at runtime if the cr16 clocks are stable across CPUs. Only mark
the sched_clock unstable by calling clear_sched_clock_stable() if we
know that we run on a system which isn't syncronized across CPUs.

arch/parisc/setup: Drop dummy_con initialization

2020-01-14T14:29:17+00:00

con_init in tty/vt.c will now set conswitchp to dummy_con if it's unset.
Drop it from arch setup code.

parisc: Use per-pagetable spinlock

2019-05-03T21:47:41+00:00

PA-RISC uses a global spinlock to protect pagetable updates in the TLB
fault handlers. When multiple cores are taking TLB faults simultaneously,
the cache line containing the spinlock becomes a bottleneck.

This patch embeds the spinlock in the top level page directory, so that
every process has its own lock. It improves performance by 30% when
doing parallel compilations.

At least on the N class systems, only one PxTLB inter processor
broadcast can be active at any one time on the Merced bus. If a Merced
bus is found, this patch serializes the TLB flushes with the
pa_tlb_flush_lock spinlock.

v2: Added Merced detection by Helge
v3: Revised TLB serialization by Dave & Helge

parisc: Detect QEMU earlier in boot process

2019-04-06T17:07:55+00:00

While adding LASI support to QEMU, I noticed that the QEMU detection in
the kernel happens much too late. For example, when a LASI chip is found
by the kernel, it registers the LASI LED driver as well.  But when we
run on QEMU it makes sense to avoid spending unnecessary CPU cycles, so
we need to access the running_on_QEMU flag earlier than before.

This patch now makes the QEMU detection the fist task of the Linux
kernel by moving it to where the kernel enters the C-coding.

Merge tag 'dma-mapping-4.21' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/dma-mapping

2018-12-28T22:12:21+00:00

Pull DMA mapping updates from Christoph Hellwig:
 "A huge update this time, but a lot of that is just consolidating or
  removing code:

   - provide a common DMA_MAPPING_ERROR definition and avoid indirect
     calls for dma_map_* error checking

   - use direct calls for the DMA direct mapping case, avoiding huge
     retpoline overhead for high performance workloads

   - merge the swiotlb dma_map_ops into dma-direct

   - provide a generic remapping DMA consistent allocator for
     architectures that have devices that perform DMA that is not cache
     coherent. Based on the existing arm64 implementation and also used
     for csky now.

   - improve the dma-debug infrastructure, including dynamic allocation
     of entries (Robin Murphy)

   - default to providing chaining scatterlist everywhere, with opt-outs
     for the few architectures (alpha, parisc, most arm32 variants) that
     can't cope with it

   - misc sparc32 dma-related cleanups

   - remove the dma_mark_clean arch hook used by swiotlb on ia64 and
     replace it with the generic noncoherent infrastructure

   - fix the return type of dma_set_max_seg_size (Niklas Söderlund)

   - move the dummy dma ops for not DMA capable devices from arm64 to
     common code (Robin Murphy)

   - ensure dma_alloc_coherent returns zeroed memory to avoid kernel
     data leaks through userspace. We already did this for most common
     architectures, but this ensures we do it everywhere.
     dma_zalloc_coherent has been deprecated and can hopefully be
     removed after -rc1 with a coccinelle script"

dma-mapping: bypass indirect calls for dma-direct

2018-12-13T20:06:18+00:00

Avoid expensive indirect calls in the fast path DMA mapping
operations by directly calling the dma_direct_* ops if we are using
the directly mapped DMA operations.
