[PATCH v6] arm: perf: Directly handle SMP platforms with one SPI
Daniel Thompson
daniel.thompson at linaro.org
Wed Mar 4 05:25:45 PST 2015
Some ARM platforms mux the PMU interrupt of every core into a single
SPI. On such platforms if the PMU of any core except 0 raises an interrupt
then it cannot be serviced and eventually, if you are lucky, the spurious
irq detection might forcefully disable the interrupt.
On these SoCs it is not possible to determine which core raised the
interrupt so workaround this issue by queuing irqwork on the other
cores whenever the primary interrupt handler is unable to service the
interrupt.
The u8500 platform has an alternative workaround that dynamically alters
the affinity of the PMU interrupt. This workaround logic is no longer
required so the original code is removed as is the hook it relied upon.
Tested on imx6q (which has fours cores/PMUs all muxed to a single SPI)
using a simple soak, combined perf and CPU hotplug soak and using
perf fuzzer's fast_repro.sh.

Notes:
v2 was tested on u8500 (thanks to Linus Walleij). The latest patch
doesn't change the nature of the workaround itself but there has been
substantial churn in the logic to decide when it can safely be deployed.
Thus the changes were sufficient for me not to
preserve the Tested-By:.
v6:
* Redesigned the code that decides if it is safe to deploy the
workaround (acting on the review by Mark Rutland). Code should no
longer race during hot unplug; previous patches sought to make the
hot unplug race benign and the old approach had flaws and even if
it could be made correct was tortuously hard to review.
v5:
* Removed the work queue nonsense; being completely race-free requires
us to take a mutex or avoid dispatch from interrupt (Will Deacon).
Replacement code can potentially race with a CPU hot unplug however
it is careful to minimise exposure, to mitigate harmful effects and
has fairly prominent comments.
v4:
* Ripped out the logic that tried to preserve the operation of the
spurious interrupt detector. It was complex and not really needed
(Will Deacon).
* Removed a redundant memory barrier and added a comment explaining
why it is not needed (Will Deacon).
* Made fully safe w.r.t. hotplug by falling back to a work queue
if there is a hotplug operation in flight when the PMU interrupt
comes in (Will Deacon). The work queue code paths have been tested
synthetically (by changing the if condition).
* Posted the correct, as in compilable and tested, version of the code
(Will Deacon).
v3:
* Removed function pointer indirection when deploying workaround code
and reorganise the code accordingly (Mark Rutland).
* Move the workaround state tracking into the existing percpu data
structure (Mark Rutland).
* Renamed cret to percpu_ret and rewrote the comment describing the
purpose of this variable (Mark Rutland).
* Copy the cpu_online_mask and use that to act on a consistent set of
cpus throughout the workaround (Mark Rutland).
* Changed "single_irq" to "muxed_spi" to more explicitly describe
the problem.
v2:
* Fixed build problems on systems without SMP.
v1:
* Thanks to Lucas Stach, Russell King and Thomas Gleixner for
critiquing an older, completely different way to tackle the
same problem.
