| * | x86, cpu: Enable/disable Supervisor Mode Execution ProtectionFenghua Yu2011-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Enable/disable newly documented SMEP (Supervisor Mode Execution Protection) CPU feature in kernel. CR4.SMEP (bit 20) is 0 at power-on. If the feature is supported by CPU (X86_FEATURE_SMEP), enable SMEP by setting CR4.SMEP. New kernel option nosmep disables the feature even if the feature is supported by CPU. [ hpa: moved the call to setup_smep() until after the vendor-specific initialization; that ensures that CPUID features are unmasked. We will still run it before we have userspace (never mind uncontrolled userspace). ] Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1305157865-31727-1-git-send-email-fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

Also, limit issuing the "mcelog --ascii" message in the rare case when we dump unreported CEs before panicking. While at it, remove unused old x86_mce_decode_callback from the header.

Also, drop tainting in the thermal throttling code for a similar reason: crossing a thermal threshold does not mean corruption.

If the user disables the same index on different subcaches, both slots will hold the same index, e.g. $ echo 2047 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_0 2047 $ echo 1050623 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/cache_disable_1 2047 due to the fact that the check was looking only at index bits [11:0] and was ignoring writes to bits outside that range. The more correct fix is to simply check whether the index is within the bounds of [0..l3->indices]. While at it, cleanup comments and drop now-unused local macros.

These events measure conditions when the CPU is executing code but its capabilities are not fully utilized. Understanding such situations and analyzing them is an important sub-task of code optimization workflows. Both events limit performance: most front end stalls tend to be caused by branch misprediction or instruction fetch cachemisses, backend stalls can be caused by various resource shortages or inefficient instruction scheduling. Front-end stalls are the more important ones: code cannot run fast if the instruction stream is not being kept up. An over-utilized back-end can cause front-end stalls and thus has to be kept an eye on as well. The exact composition is very program logic and instruction mix dependent. We use the terms 'stall', 'front-end' and 'back-end' loosely and try to use the best available events from specific CPUs that approximate these concepts.

As a first step, remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call to the generic pr_debug() function. How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled. To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during boot, append ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p" as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These errors are seen as error interrupts. The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI. When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt, the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register programmed as such as well. This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to 0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will signal illegal vector error interrupts. This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

* | | | | | | | | x86, AMD: Fix APIC timer erratum 400 affecting K8 Rev.A-E processorsBoris Ostrovsky2011-05-01

This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should not be set for these parts. This addresses regression introduced by commit b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processors") where the system may become unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input) occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

These extra NMIs lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages on the screen. I tracked this down to a P4 quirk that said the overflow bit had to be cleared before re-enabling the apic LVT mask. My first attempt was to move the un-masking inside the perf nmi handler from before the chipset NMI handler to after. This broke Nehalem boxes that seem to like the unmasking before the counters themselves are re-enabled. In order to keep this change simple for 2.6.39, I decided to just simply move the apic LVT un-masking to the beginning of all the chipset NMI handlers, with the exception of Pentium4's to fix the double NMI issue. Later on we can move the un-masking to later in the handlers to save a number of 'extra' NMIs on those particular chipsets. I tested this change on a P4 machine, an AMD machine, a Nehalem box, and a core2quad box. 'perf top' worked correctly along with various other small 'perf record' runs. Anything high stress breaks all the machines but that is a different problem. Thanks to various people for testing different versions of this patch.

When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.
