There's a description missing here of _what_ (case) you are fixing.

And the purpose of this line is unclear.

You're introducing a trailing blank here.

You need to give more background of the problem (i.e why you have to
disable the IRQ on ARM).
As the scheduler is common with x86, I would expect the problem is also
happening on this architecture.

Changing a spinlock_irq into an irqsave is safe, functionally speaking,
but it is concerning that the scheduler appears to be called in
different interrupt states between architectures.

For instance credit2 is also using vcpu_schedule_lock_irq... Although,
IIRC, it's not used by default. So it has to be fixed too on ARM.
In any case, the commit message needs more background such as stack
trace and/or explaining why we have to take spinlock_irq.
This may also need to document context_saved to explain the IRQs may not
be enabled when this function is called.

Julien,
The details of this issue can be found in the current mailing list.
Please have a look at
http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-09/msg04250.html.
This is exactly the same behaviour we are observing when running on our arm
setup.
The fix changes spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq to
spin_lock_irq_save/spin_lock_irq_restore,
since context_save executed right from IRQ level. The arm interrupt
handling differs from x86. ARM is handling context_saved with IRQ disabled
in CPSR, though x86 has IRQs on. Thus it is failing on ASSERT inside
spin_lock_irq when running on ARM. I guess it should work on x86, so this
issue is ARM platform specific.

I understood the problem... I just pointed out that the commit message
is not useful. Hence the request of more background.
If we have to read the log in a couple of years time. We should be able
to understand the problem/solution with the commit message.

FWIW I was waiting for it to happen to a xen-unstable run but the latest
osstest gate run at
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~xensrcts/logs/33915/ which included
Dario's patches to rationalize the schedulr tests vs. archs also
resulted in a similar sounding failure on credit2:

Hi Ian,
The issue observed on credit2 scheduler is similar to the rt scheduler on
arm platform. The root cause is that interrupts are disabled in the
beginning of arm context_switch, thus spin_lock_irq is failing in
ASSERT(local_irq_is_enabled()). I propose to change both credit2 and rt
scheduler to run on arm platform as well and re-run the regression with
scheduler patches.

I'd like to hear from the scheduler and other $arch folks regarding
whether we think the rtds and credit2 schedulers are wrong or whether it
is actually the ARM arch code which needs fixing before considering any
change.
What lead you to conclude that the schedulers were the ones at fault?

The aspect to be understood first is why ARM needs IRQs disabled
past __context_switch() into schedule_tail() (and there until after
ctxt_switch_from() and ctxt_switch_to()). If that's indeed necessary,
there's no question that the schedulers need to be adjusted to
accommodate for this. X86 calls context_saved() before
schedule_tail() and has no need for IRQs to be disabled after
__context_switch() returned. Otoh some roughly equivalent stuff
ARM does in ctxt_switch_{from,to}() is being done in
__context_switch() on x86 (and in the context here the restore
parts seem to be of most interest) - maybe the call to
context_saved() could be deferred on ARM until after IRQs got
re-enabled?

I don't think it's *necessary*, but we do seem to have ended up with the
context switch having that requirement today (and relying on it in
several places in switch from/to (mostly to).
I'm pretty sure we could rework things more along the lines of how x86
does it if needed, but it would be a non-trivial refactoring I think.

In fact from the comment ("...which may fault...") I think it requires
that they are not disabled?

Is it allowable to have the context_saved of prev be after (most of) the
state of next has been restored?

We have some part of the code which may inject an interrupt during
context switch.
For instance the timer may inject an IRQ as long as it has not been
disabled. Same when the timer is restored.
The former may result to inject an interrupt to the wrong vCPU.

I'm pretty sure we could structure things, with appropriate use of
locks, smaller critical sections with IRQs disabled, better quiescing of
subsystems on save and ordering of operations etc such that this would
work without the big hammer of disabling IRQs for the entire context
switch.
In fact I rather expect that eventually some embedded RTOS type person
will want to do exactly that to minimize IRQ latency.

Also the gic save and restore functions need to be run with interrupt
disabled.

I am aware that today all sorts of things rely on interrupts being
disabled during context switch on ARM.
My point was that we *could*, if required, rework things to not rely on
this.

I think so, but I'd clearly like this to be confirmed by e.g. George,
not the least because it's only the newer schedulers that make use
of this.

A better subject+message would be:
xen/arm: Call context_saved() with interrupts enabled during context switch
This is a requirement of the scheduler interface, violating this
causes for example with the RT scheduler:

However I would like an ack from a scheduler person (e.g. George) before
it gets applied.

Deferring the call to context_saved() until below both
ctxt_switch_from() and ctxt_switch_to(), for ARM, like the patch is
doing seems ok to me.
As Jan noted already, it basically makes things look exactly as they
look in x86 already and, checking how booth credit2 and RTDS use
the .context_saved hook, all seems fine to me.
So, FWIW:
