| * x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15hBorislav Petkov2011-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862583 This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x2apic optout BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/797548 On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic brings in. Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms. Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's, then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has enabled. On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it. To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification (http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf) includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode. Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request. Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

| * x86, mce: Xeon75xx specific interface to get corrected memory error informationAndi Kleen2011-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit c773f70fd6b53ee646727f871833e53649907264 upstream (linux-2.6-tip) Xeon 75xx doesn't log physical addresses on corrected machine check events in the standard architectural MSRs. Instead the address has to be retrieved in a model specific way. This makes it impossible to do predictive failure analysis. Implement cpu model specific code to do this in mce-xeon75xx.c using a new hook that is called from the generic poll code. The code retrieves the physical address/DIMM of the last corrected error from the platform and makes the address look like a standard architectural MCA address for further processing. In addition the DIMM information is retrieved and put into two new aux0/aux1 fields in struct mce. These fields are specific to a given CPU. These fields can then be decoded by mcelog into specific DIMM information. The latest mcelog version has support for this. Longer term this will be likely in a different output format, but short term that seemed like the least intrusive solution. Older mcelog can deal with an extended record. There's no code to print this information on a panic because this only works for corrected errors, and corrected errors do not usually result in panics. The act of retrieving the DIMM/PA information can take some time, so this code has a rate limit to avoid taking too much CPU time on a error flood. The whole thing can be loaded as a module and has suitable PCI-IDs so that it can be auto-loaded by a distribution. The code also checks explicitely for the expected CPU model number to make sure this code doesn't run anywhere else.

| * x86, mtrr: lock stop machine during MTRR rendezvous sequenceSuresh Siddha2011-08-29

MTRR rendezvous sequence using stop_one_cpu_nowait() can potentially happen in parallel with another system wide rendezvous using stop_machine(). This can lead to deadlock (The order in which works are queued can be different on different cpu's. Some cpu's will be running the first rendezvous handler and others will be running the second rendezvous handler. Each set waiting for the other set to join for the system wide rendezvous, leading to a deadlock). MTRR rendezvous sequence is not implemented using stop_machine() as this gets called both from the process context aswell as the cpu online paths (where the cpu has not come online and the interrupts are disabled etc). stop_machine() works with only online cpus. For now, take the stop_machine mutex in the MTRR rendezvous sequence that gets called from an online cpu (here we are in the process context and can potentially sleep while taking the mutex). And the MTRR rendezvous that gets triggered during cpu online doesn't need to take this stop_machine lock (as the stop_machine() already ensures that there is no cpu hotplug going on in parallel by doing get_online_cpus()) TBD: Pursue a cleaner solution of extending the stop_machine() infrastructure to handle the case where the calling cpu is still not online and use this for MTRR rendezvous sequence. fixes: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=672008 Reported-by: Vadim Kotelnikov <vadimuzzz@inbox.ru> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110623182056.807230326@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com Signed-off-by: H.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d25), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo, Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b40), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS. However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems... Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8). As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency. While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default operating point is "normal" mode... Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot. x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot, should the user have a different preference.

| * x86, suspend: Restore MISC_ENABLE MSR in realmode wakeupKees Cook2011-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some BIOSes will reset the Intel MISC_ENABLE MSR (specifically the XD_DISABLE bit) when resuming from S3, which can interact poorly with ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7. In 32bit PAE mode, this can lead to a fault when EFER is restored by the kernel wakeup routines, due to it setting the NX bit for a CPU that (thanks to the BIOS reset) now incorrectly thinks it lacks the NX feature. (64bit is not affected because it uses a common CPU bring-up that specifically handles the XD_DISABLE bit.) The need for MISC_ENABLE being restored so early is specific to the S3 resume path. Normally, MISC_ENABLE is saved in save_processor_state(), but this happens after the resume header is created, so just reproduce the logic here. (acpi_suspend_lowlevel() creates the header, calls do_suspend_lowlevel, which calls save_processor_state(), so the saved processor context isn't available during resume header creation.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [ Also from Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> and Vitaliy Ivanov <vitalivanov@gmail.com> ] Commit 06ae40ce073d ("x86 idle: EXPORT_SYMBOL(default_idle, pm_idle) only when APM demands it") removed the export for pm_idle/default_idle unless the apm module was modularised and CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE was set. But the apm module uses pm_idle/default_idle unconditionally, CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE only affects the bios idle threshold. Adjust the export accordingly.

The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target. With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded softirqs we observed the following race: cpu 0 cpu 1 bringup(cpu1); set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); local_irq_enable(); while (!cpu_online(cpu1)); timer_interrupt() -> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1); -> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0); ^^^^ cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1); -> sched_cpu_active(cpu1) -> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true); When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable behaviour. So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading, but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu which waits for the cpu_online bit.

This, in fact, breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being ever successful if the first candidate fails to load. With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded) probed paths. Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread() will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be used. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
