[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang
Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.
The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.
The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;
In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.
What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.
When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably
work.
Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:
- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
in registers
- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

[PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts
This patch implements soft interrupts. Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask. Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled. If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally. If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling. When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.
The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling. Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.
Subtleties -
UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts. sigsetjmp has been
wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.
The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
disables interrupts before returning. enable_signals has to return with
signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
return to enable_signals. So, it loops for as long as there are pending
signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

uml: iRQ stacks
Add a separate IRQ stack. This differs from i386 in having the entire
interrupt run on a separate stack rather than starting on the normal kernel
stack and switching over once some preparation has been done. The underlying
mechanism, is of course, sigaltstack.
Another difference is that interrupts that happen in userspace are handled on
the normal kernel stack. These cause a wait wakeup instead of a signal
delivery so there is no point in trying to switch stacks for these. There's
no other stuff on the stack, so there is no extra stack consumption.
This quirk makes it possible to have the entire interrupt run on a separate
stack - process preemption (and calls to schedule()) happens on a normal
kernel stack. If we enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, this will need to be rethought.
The IRQ stack for CPU 0 is declared in the same way as the initial kernel
stack. IRQ stacks for other CPUs will be allocated dynamically.
An extra field was added to the thread_info structure. When the active
thread_info is copied to the IRQ stack, the real_thread field points back to
the original stack. This makes it easy to tell where to copy the thread_info
struct back to when the interrupt is finished. It also serves as a marker of
a nested interrupt. It is NULL for the first interrupt on the stack, and
non-NULL for any nested interrupts.
Care is taken to behave correctly if a second interrupt comes in when the
thread_info structure is being set up or taken down. I could just disable
interrupts here, but I don't feel like giving up any of the performance gained
by not flipping signals on and off.
If an interrupt comes in during these critical periods, the handler can't run
because it has no idea what shape the stack is in. So, it sets a bit for its
signal in a global mask and returns. The outer handler will deal with this
signal itself.
Atomicity is had with xchg. A nested interrupt that needs to bail out will
xchg its signal mask into pending_mask and repeat in case yet another
interrupt hit at the same time, until the mask stabilizes.
The outermost interrupt will set up the thread_info and xchg a zero into
pending_mask when it is done. At this point, nested interrupts will look at
->real_thread and see that no setup needs to be done. They can just continue
normally.
Similar care needs to be taken when exiting the outer handler. If another
interrupt comes in while it is copying the thread_info, it will drop a bit
into pending_mask. The outer handler will check this and if it is non-zero,
will loop, set up the stack again, and handle the interrupt.

[PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts
This patch implements soft interrupts. Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask. Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled. If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally. If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling. When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.
The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling. Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.
Subtleties -
UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts. sigsetjmp has been
wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.
The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
disables interrupts before returning. enable_signals has to return with
signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
return to enable_signals. So, it loops for as long as there are pending
signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.

[PATCH] uml: fix I/O hang
Fix a UML hang in which everything would just stop until some I/O happened
- a ping, someone whacking the keyboard - at which point everything would
start up again as though nothing had happened.
The cause was gcc reordering some code which absolutely needed to be
executed in the order in the source. When unblock_signals switches signals
from off to on, it needs to see if any interrupts had happened in the
critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.
The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;
In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.
What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.
When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably
work.
Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:
- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
in registers
- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

critical section. The interrupt handlers check signals_enabled - if it is
zero, then the handler adds a bit to the "pending" bitmask and returns.
unblock_signals checks this mask to see if any signals need to be
delivered.
The crucial part is this:
signals_enabled = 1;
save_pending = pending;
if(save_pending == 0)
return;
pending = 0;
In order to avoid an interrupt arriving between reading pending and setting
it to zero, in which case, the record of the interrupt would be erased,
signals are enabled.
What happened was that gcc reordered this so that 'save_pending = pending'
came before 'signals_enabled = 1', creating a one-instruction window within
which an interrupt could arrive, set its bit in pending, and have it be
immediately erased.
When the I/O workload is purely disk-based, the loss of a block device
interrupt stops the entire I/O system because the next block request will
wait for the current one to finish. Thus the system hangs until something
else causes some I/O to arrive, such as a network packet or console input.
The fix to this particular problem is a memory barrier between enabling
signals and reading the pending signal mask. An xchg would also probably
work.
Looking over this code for similar problems led me to do a few more
things:
- make signals_enabled and pending volatile so that they don't get cached
in registers
- add an mb() to the return paths of block_signals and unblock_signals so
that the modification of signals_enabled doesn't get shuffled into the
caller in the event that these are inlined in the future.

[PATCH] uml: implement soft interrupts
This patch implements soft interrupts. Interrupt enabling and disabling no
longer map to sigprocmask. Rather, a flag is set indicating whether
interrupts may be handled. If a signal comes in and interrupts are marked as
OK, then it is handled normally. If interrupts are marked as off, then the
signal handler simply returns after noting that a signal needs handling. When
interrupts are enabled later on, this pending signals flag is checked, and the
IRQ handlers are called at that point.
The point of this is to reduce the cost of local_irq_save et al, since they
are very much more common than the signals that they are enabling and
disabling. Soft interrupts produce a speed-up of ~25% on a kernel build.
Subtleties -
UML uses sigsetjmp/siglongjmp to switch contexts. sigsetjmp has been
wrapped in a save_flags-like macro which remembers the interrupt state at
setjmp time, and restores it when it is longjmp-ed back to.
The enable_signals function has to loop because the IRQ handler
disables interrupts before returning. enable_signals has to return with
signals enabled, and signals may come in between the disabling and the
return to enable_signals. So, it loops for as long as there are pending
signals, ensuring that signals are enabled when it finally returns, and
that there are no pending signals that need to be dealt with.
