      xen/smp: Update pv_lock_ops functions before alternative code starts under PVHVM · 26a79995
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      Before this patch we would patch all of the pv_lock_ops sites
      using alternative assembler. Then later in the bootup cycle
      change the unlock_kick and lock_spinning to the Xen specific -
      without re patching.
      
      That meant that for the core of the kernel we would be running
      with the baremetal version of unlock_kick and lock_spinning while
      for modules we would have the proper Xen specific slowpaths.
      
      As most of the module uses some API from the core kernel that ended
      up with slowpath lockers waiting forever to be kicked (b/c they
      would be using the Xen specific slowpath logic). And the
      kick never came b/c the unlock path that was taken was the
      baremetal one.
      
      On PV we do not have the problem as we initialise before the
      alternative code kicks in.
      
      The fix is to make the updating of the pv_lock_ops function
      be done before the alternative code starts patching.
      
      Note that this patch fixes issues discovered by commit
      f10cd522.
      ("xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM") wherein it mentioned
      
         PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are
         enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV
         spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we
         cannot switch between them dynamically.
      
      The first problem is solved by this patch.
      
      The second problem has been solved by commit
      816434ec
      (Merge branch 'x86-spinlocks-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip)
      
      P.S.
      There is still the commit 70dd4998
      
      
      (xen/spinlock: Disable IRQ spinlock (PV) allocation on PVHVM) to
      revert but that can be done later after all other bugs have been
      fixed.

      xen/spinlock: Fix locking path engaging too soon under PVHVM. · 1fb3a8b2
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      The xen_lock_spinning has a check for the kicker interrupts
      and if it is not initialized it will spin normally (not enter
      the slowpath).
      
      But for PVHVM case we would initialize the kicker interrupt
      before the CPU came online. This meant that if the booting
      CPU used a spinlock and went in the slowpath - it would
      enter the slowpath and block forever. The forever part because
      during bootup: the spinlock would be taken _before_ the CPU
      sets itself to be online (more on this further), and we enter
      to poll on the event channel forever.
      
      The bootup CPU (see commit fc78d343
      
      
      "xen/smp: initialize IPI vectors before marking CPU online"
      for details) and the CPU that started the bootup consult
      the cpu_online_mask to determine whether the booting CPU should
      get an IPI. The booting CPU has to set itself in this mask via:
      
        set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
      
      However, if the spinlock is taken before this (and it is) and
      it polls on an event channel - it will never be woken up as
      the kernel will never send an IPI to an offline CPU.
      
      Note that the PVHVM logic in sending IPIs is using the HVM
      path which has numerous checks using the cpu_online_mask
      and cpu_active_mask. See above mention git commit for details.

      `comedi_device_attach()` when recovering from an error returned by the
      low-level driver's 'attach' handler.  Unfortunately, that introduced a
      NULL pointer dereference bug as `dev->driver` is NULL after the call to
      `comedi_device_detach()`.   We still have a pointer to the low-level
      comedi driver structure in the `driv` variable, so use that instead.
