* locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlockThomas Gleixner2009-12-141-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.

* xen: use stronger barrier after unlocking lockYang Xiaowei2009-09-091-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to have a stronger barrier between releasing the lock and checking for any waiting spinners. A compiler barrier is not sufficient because the CPU's ordering rules do not prevent the read xl->spinners from happening before the unlock assignment, as they are different memory locations. We need to have an explicit barrier to enforce the write-read ordering to different memory locations. Because of it, I can't bring up > 4 HVM guests on one SMP machine.

* xen: only enable interrupts while actually blocking for spinlockJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-09-091-8/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Where possible we enable interrupts while waiting for a spinlock to become free, in order to reduce big latency spikes in interrupt handling. However, at present if we manage to pick up the spinlock just before blocking, we'll end up holding the lock with interrupts enabled for a while. This will cause a deadlock if we recieve an interrupt in that window, and the interrupt handler tries to take the lock too. Solve this by shrinking the interrupt-enabled region to just around the blocking call.

* xen: implement CPU hotpluggingAlex Nixon2008-08-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note the changes from 2.6.18-xen CPU hotplugging: A vcpu_down request from the remote admin via Xenbus both hotunplugs the CPU, and disables it by removing it from the cpu_present map, and removing its entry in /sys. A vcpu_up request from the remote admin only re-enables the CPU, and does not immediately bring the CPU up. A udev event is emitted, which can be caught by the user if he wishes to automatically re-up CPUs when available, or implement a more complex policy.

* xen: allow interrupts to be enabled while doing a blocking spinJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-08-211-3/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | If spin_lock is called in an interrupts-enabled context, we can safely enable interrupts while spinning. We don't bother for the actual spin loop, but if we timeout and fall back to blocking, it's definitely worthwhile enabling interrupts if possible.

* xen: add debugfs supportJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-08-211-3/+162
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for exporting statistics on mmu updates, multicall batching and pv spinlocks into debugfs. The base path is xen/ and each subsystem adds its own directory: mmu, multicalls, spinlocks. In each directory, writing 1 to "zero_stats" will cause the corresponding stats to be zeroed the next time they're updated.

* xen: save previous spinlock when blockingJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-08-211-15/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A spinlock can be interrupted while spinning, so make sure we preserve the previous lock of interest if we're taking a lock from within an interrupt handler. We also need to deal with the case where the blocking path gets interrupted between testing to see if the lock is free and actually blocking. If we get interrupted there and end up in the state where the lock is free but the irq isn't pending, then we'll block indefinitely in the hypervisor. This fix is to make sure that any nested lock-takers will always leave the irq pending if there's any chance the outer lock became free.

* x86: split spinlock implementations out into their own filesJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-07-241-0/+183
ftrace requires certain low-level code, like spinlocks and timestamps, to be compiled without -pg in order to avoid infinite recursion. This patch splits out the core paravirt spinlocks and the Xen spinlocks into separate files which can be compiled without -pg. Also do xen/time.c while we're about it. As a result, we can now use ftrace within a Xen domain. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
