* [PATCH V4 2/2] debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool() 2015-09-25 16:41 ` Viresh Kumar (?) @ 2015-09-25 16:41 ` Viresh Kumar -1 siblings, 0 replies; 135+ messages in thread From: Viresh Kumar @ 2015-09-25 16:41 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: linaro-kernel, QCA ath9k Development, Intel Linux Wireless, Viresh Kumar, linux-doc, linux-kernel, linux-arm-kernel, linux-acpi, linux-bluetooth, iommu, netdev, linux-wireless, linux-scsi, linux-usb, linux-edac, linux-mm, alsa-devel Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte (mostly). That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

* [PATCH V4 2/2] debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool() @ 2015-09-25 16:41 ` Viresh Kumar 0 siblings, 0 replies; 135+ messages in thread From: Viresh Kumar @ 2015-09-25 16:41 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-arm-kernel Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte (mostly). That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

* [PATCH V4 2/2] debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool() @ 2015-09-25 16:41 ` Viresh Kumar 0 siblings, 0 replies; 135+ messages in thread From: Viresh Kumar @ 2015-09-25 16:41 UTC (permalink / raw) To: Greg Kroah-Hartman Cc: linaro-kernel, QCA ath9k Development, Intel Linux Wireless, Viresh Kumar, linux-doc, linux-kernel, linux-arm-kernel, linux-acpi, linux-bluetooth, iommu, netdev, linux-wireless, linux-scsi, linux-usb, linux-edac, linux-mm, alsa-devel Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument, when all it needs is a boolean pointer. It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *' instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient. Over that bool takes just a byte (mostly). That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit updating the API. regmap core was also using debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were updated for that to be bool as well.

Ok, then, but that means Rafael is completely wrong ... debugfs_create_bool() takes a *pointer* and it needs to be long-lived, it can't be on the stack. You also don't get a call when it changes.

But here's a question. You're going to change that into bool in the next patch, right? So what if bool is a byte and the field is not word-aligned and changing that byte requires a read-modify-write.

Right. So if you allow something like debugfs to update your structure, how do you make sure there is the proper locking? Is that not a problem in all of the places modified by the [2/2]?

So, should I just move it to bool and resend ? I guess it might be more convenient to fold this into the other patch, because we seem to be splitting hairs here.

Which isn't a bugfix really, because the EC code is not run on any big-endian systems to my knowledge. And it won't matter after the [2/2] anyway. And the changelog of it doesn't really makes sense, because it talks about future systems, but after the [2/2] no future systems will run that code in the first place. > If you like to avoid patching one of the files twice, the alternative would > be to first change the API for all other instances from u32 to bool > and leave ACPI alone, and then do the second patch that changes ACPI > from long to bool. My point is that this patch doesn't matter. It doesn't really fix anything and the result of it goes away after the second patch. The only marginal value of having it as a separate commit is in case if (a) we need to revert the [2/2] for some reason and (b) ACPI-based ARM systems (the big-endian ones) become full-hardware at one point. You know what the chances of that are, though. :-) That said I've ACKed the patch, because I don't care that much. I'm not exactly sure why you care either.

Which isn't a bugfix really, because the EC code is not run on any big-endian systems to my knowledge. And it won't matter after the [2/2] anyway. And the changelog of it doesn't really makes sense, because it talks about future systems, but after the [2/2] no future systems will run that code in the first place. > If you like to avoid patching one of the files twice, the alternative would > be to first change the API for all other instances from u32 to bool > and leave ACPI alone, and then do the second patch that changes ACPI > from long to bool. My point is that this patch doesn't matter. It doesn't really fix anything and the result of it goes away after the second patch. The only marginal value of having it as a separate commit is in case if (a) we need to revert the [2/2] for some reason and (b) ACPI-based ARM systems (the big-endian ones) become full-hardware at one point. You know what the chances of that are, though. :-) That said I've ACKed the patch, because I don't care that much. I'm not exactly sure why you care either.

I think every CPU's cache architecure guarantees adjacent store integrity, even in the face of SMP, so it's x==1 and y==2. If you're thinking of old alpha SMP system where the lowest store width is 32 bits and thus you have to do RMW to update a byte, this was usually fixed by padding (assuming the structure is not packed). However, it was such a problem that even the later alpha chips had byte extensions. James ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 135+ messages in thread

However, it was such a problem that even the later alpha chips had byte extensions. James ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 135+ messages in thread

That's different: it's an atomic RMW operation. The problem with the alpha was that the operation wasn't atomic (meaning that it can't be interrupted and no intermediate output states are visible). > > OK, thanks! > > You still have to ensure the compiler doesn't do wider rmw cycles. > I believe the recent versions of gcc won't do wider accesses for volatile data. I don't understand this comment. You seem to be implying gcc would do a 64 bit RMW for a 32 bit store ... that would be daft when a single instruction exists to perform the operation on all architectures.

I think you might be confusing different things. Most RISC CPUs can't do 32 bit store immediates because there aren't enough bits in their arsenal, so they tend to split 32 bit loads into a left and right part (first the top then the offset). This (and other things) are mostly what you see in code. However, 32 bit register stores are still atomic, which is all we require. It's not really the compiler's fault, it's mostly an architectural limitation. James ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 135+ messages in thread

I think you might be confusing different things. Most RISC CPUs can't do 32 bit store immediates because there aren't enough bits in their arsenal, so they tend to split 32 bit loads into a left and right part (first the top then the offset). This (and other things) are mostly what you see in code. However, 32 bit register stores are still atomic, which is all we require. It's not really the compiler's fault, it's mostly an architectural limitation. James ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 135+ messages in thread

Early alpha didn't have any byte accesses. On x86 if you have the following: struct { char a; volatile char b; } *foo; foo->a |= 4; The compiler is likely to generate a 'bis #4, 0(rbx)' (or similar) and the cpu will do two 32bit memory cycles that read and write the 'volatile' field 'b'.
