Revision 88fa025d30ea97a2aae6394794bdfc31dc9423b7 authored by Linus Torvalds on 31 December 2017, 19:23:11 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 31 December 2017, 19:23:11 UTC
Pull irq fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update after the kaisered maintainer finally found time
to handle regression reports.
- The larger part addresses a regression caused by the x86 vector
management rework.
The reservation based model does not work reliably for MSI
interrupts, if they cannot be masked (yes, yet another hw
engineering trainwreck). The reason is that the reservation mode
assigns a dummy vector when the interrupt is allocated and switches
to a real vector when the interrupt is requested.
If the MSI entry cannot be masked then the initialization might
raise an interrupt before the interrupt is requested, which ends up
as spurious interrupt and causes device malfunction and worse. The
fix is to exclude MSI interrupts which do not support masking from
reservation mode and assign a real vector right away.
- Extend the extra lockdep class setup for nested interrupts with a
class for the recently added irq_desc::request_mutex so lockdep can
differeniate and does not emit false positive warnings.
- A ratelimit guard for the bad irq printout so in case a bad irq
comes back immediately the system does not drown in dmesg spam"

prompt "Preemption Model"
default PREEMPT_NONE

bool "No Forced Preemption (Server)"
help
This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
are possible.
Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
latencies.
config PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
bool "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)"
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
"explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
under load.
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop system.
config PREEMPT
bool "Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop)"
select PREEMPT_COUNT
select UNINLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK if !ARCH_INLINE_SPIN_UNLOCK
help
This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.
Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or
embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds
range.
