PATCH v5 1/1 ARM: smp: Only expose /sys/.../cpuX/online if hotpluggable

Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to hotplug the CPU.

Add a new 'cpu_can_disable' op and repoint all 'cpu_disable' implementations at it because all implementers use the op to indicate if a CPU can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion. With PSCI we may need to add a 'cpu_disable' op so that the secure OS can be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug. In this case, the 'cpu_can_disable' op will indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable by returning true, but the 'cpu_disable' op will make a PSCI migration call and occasionally fail, denying the hotplug of a CPU. This shouldn't be any worse than x86 where we may indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally we can't offline a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() failing to find a CPU to move vectors to.

Changes since v4:
* Fix build error on !SMP (Tyler Baker)
* Picked up Simon's ack/tested-by

Changes since v3:
* Return bool instead of int from 'cpu_can_disable' op

Changes since v2:
* Left cpu_disable op in place
* Split out shmobile function deletion

I have tested v5 on top of next-20150410[0] and can confirm the build regression reported in v4 is resolved[1]. Additionally, 314 boot tests were performed[2] on arm, arm64 and x86 plaforms, no new regressions detected.

I have executed the cpu-hotplug kselftest test case using the multi_v7_defconfig on an array of arm platforms. Platforms which do not support cpu hotplug show the behavior you would expect. The below result was executed on a sun9i-a80-optimus.

Running tests in cpu-hotplug
========================================
CPU online/offline summary:
Cpus in online state: 0
Cpus in offline state: 1-7
Limited scope test: one hotplug cpu
(leaves cpu in the original state):
online to offline to online: cpu 0 ./cpu-on-off-test.sh: line 186: can't create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online: Permission denied 0: unexpected fail
./cpu-on-off-test.sh: line 186: can't create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/online: Permission denied 0: unexpected fail
selftests: cpu-on-off-test.sh [XFAIL]

Comparing this result to a tegra124-jetson-tk1 which supports cpu-hotplug.

Running tests in cpu-hotplug
========================================
CPU online/offline summary:
Cpus in online state: 0-3
Cpus in offline state: 0
Limited scope test: one hotplug cpu
(leaves cpu in the original state):
online to offline to online: cpu 3

Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to hotplug the CPU.

Add a new 'cpu_can_disable' op and repoint all 'cpu_disable' implementations at it because all implementers use the op to indicate if a CPU can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion. With PSCI we may need to add a 'cpu_disable' op so that the secure OS can be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug. In this case, the 'cpu_can_disable' op will indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable by returning true, but the 'cpu_disable' op will make a PSCI migration call and occasionally fail, denying the hotplug of a CPU. This shouldn't be any worse than x86 where we may indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally we can't offline a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() failing to find a CPU to move vectors to.

Writes to /sys/.../cpuX/online fail if we determine the platform doesn't support hotplug for that CPU. Furthermore, if the cpu_die op isn't specified the system hangs when we try to offline a CPU and it comes right back online unexpectedly. Let's figure this stuff out before we make the sysfs nodes so that the online file doesn't even exist if it isn't (at least sometimes) possible to hotplug the CPU.

Add a new 'cpu_can_disable' op and repoint all 'cpu_disable' implementations at it because all implementers use the op to indicate if a CPU can be hotplugged or not in a static fashion. With PSCI we may need to add a 'cpu_disable' op so that the secure OS can be migrated off the CPU we're trying to hotplug. In this case, the 'cpu_can_disable' op will indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable by returning true, but the 'cpu_disable' op will make a PSCI migration call and occasionally fail, denying the hotplug of a CPU. This shouldn't be any worse than x86 where we may indicate that all CPUs are hotpluggable but occasionally we can't offline a CPU due to check_irq_vectors_for_cpu_disable() failing to find a CPU to move vectors to.

Nobody else has acked this so far. Shall I put it in the patch tracker now? Or is there someone more specific we need an ack from?

I guess if people haven't responded by now, they're never going to respond, and I guess we take their non-response as tacit approval for the change.

Maybe we ought to have tacit-acked-by: which we can add when someones been Cc'd and hasn't responded. :)

I think we also need a "To:" tag for people who don't notice when they are cc'ed ;).

The version you've put in the patch tracker is not the version you posted. It contains this change:

which your original patch did not include. The tree I'm applying to (-rc1) contains:

extern int shmobile_smp_cpu_disable(unsigned int cpu); extern void shmobile_invalidate_start(void);

there. Hence git quite rightfully declines to apply the patch.

Please fix.

Thanks.

Sorry I just noticed that you applied 8392/1 instead of 8392/2 from the patch tracker. So shmobile_invalidate_start() came back.

I thought it would automatically supersede the previous patch but it looks like it just sticks around? I've never had to replace a patch before so I'll keep this in mind next time.

Stephen,

8392/2 does _not_ apply:

$ pdb gitapply 8392/2
Patching 8392/2...
git apply --whitespace=fix -p1 --index --check > /tmp/pdb.521 2>&1 exited with non-zero status: 256
error: patch failed: arch/arm/mach-shmobile/common.h:13
error: arch/arm/mach-shmobile/common.h: patch does not apply

However, 8392/1 does:

$ pdb gitapply 8392/1

This is because your patch 8392/2 has this hunk:

arch/arm/mach-shmobile/common.h +1 -1
index afc60bad6fd6..f2c4bf437ea7 100644
@@ -13,7 +13,7 @@ extern void shmobile_smp_boot(void);

 extern void shmobile_invalidate_start(void);
 extern void shmobile_boot_scu(void);
 extern void shmobile_smp_scu_prepare_cpus(unsigned int max_cpus);

which states that shmobile_invalidate_start() must exist in the original code. In v4.2-rc1 and later kernels, there is no such line - here is v4.2-rc1 and later contains from line 13 onwards:

extern void shmobile_smp_sleep(void);
extern void shmobile_smp_hook(unsigned int cpu, unsigned long fn,

			      unsigned long arg);

extern int shmobile_smp_cpu_disable(unsigned int cpu); extern void shmobile_boot_scu(void);
extern void shmobile_smp_scu_prepare_cpus(unsigned int max_cpus); extern void shmobile_smp_scu_cpu_die(unsigned int cpu);

The difference between your two patches is relatively minor:

8392/1 _adds_ shmobile_invalidate_start() 8392/2 _requires_ that shmobile_invalidate_start() exist

If you wish me to apply a patch which _neither_ requires _nor_ adds the shmobile_invalidate_start() prototype, maybe you should send me a patch to that effect?

It doesn't, because the /n thing was supposed to be for related patches rather than automatic superseding of previous patches.
