x86/kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2016-07-14T13:06:41+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file. This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers; adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what headers we are effectively using. Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each obj-y/bool instance for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly. Note that some bool/obj-y instances remain since module.h is the header for some exception table entry stuff, and for things like __init_or_module (code that is tossed when MODULES=n).

KVM: Fix steal clock warp during guest CPU hotplug

2016-06-14T09:13:14+00:00

Sometimes, after CPU hotplug you can observe a spike in stolen time (100%) followed by the CPU being marked as 100% idle when it's actually busy with a CPU hog task. The trace looks like the following: cpuhp/1-12 [001] d.h1 167.461657: account_process_tick: steal = 1291385514, prev_steal_time = 0 cpuhp/1-12 [001] d.h1 167.461659: account_process_tick: steal_jiffies = 1291 -0 [001] d.h1 167.462663: account_process_tick: steal = 18732255, prev_steal_time = 1291000000 -0 [001] d.h1 167.462664: account_process_tick: steal_jiffies = 18446744072437 The sudden decrease of "steal" causes steal_jiffies to underflow. The root cause is kvm_steal_time being reset to 0 after hot-plugging back in a CPU. Instead, the preexisting value can be used, which is what the core scheduler code expects. John Stultz also reported a similar issue after guest S3.

kvm, rt: change async pagefault code locking for PREEMPT_RT

2016-03-22T15:38:38+00:00

The async pagefault wake code can run from the idle task in exception context, so everything here needs to be made non-preemptible. Conversion to a simple wait queue and raw spinlock does the trick. Signed-off-by: Rik van Riel Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini

locking/pvqspinlock: Rename QUEUED_SPINLOCK to QUEUED_SPINLOCKS

2015-05-11T07:52:09+00:00

Valentin Rothberg reported that we use CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch_32.c, while the symbol is called CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCK. (Note the extra 'S') But the typo was natural: the proper English term for such a generic object would be 'queued spinlocks' - so rename this and related symbols accordingly to the plural form.
