* [PATCH] Consolidate bust_spinlocks()Kirill Korotaev2007-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Part of long forgotten patch http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/msg/e98e941ce1cf29f6?dmode=source Since then, m32r grabbed two copies. Leave s390 copy because of important absence of CONFIG_VT, but remove references to non-existent timerlist_lock. ia64 also loses timerlist_lock.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ACPI 3.0 incorporated the SRAT spec, upping the table version to 2, and extending the size of the proximity domain from 1-byte to 4-bytes. This extension was into a reserved field that firmware should set to 0, but the HP simulator had non-zero values there resulting in unexpected huge numbers. So mask the domain down to 8-bits for now. A more general fix will be to check the table version supplied by firmware and get paranoid about reserved fields.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we offline a CPU, migrate_irqs() tries to determine whether the affinity bits of the IRQ descriptor match any of the remaining online CPUs. If not, it fixes up the interrupt to point somewhere else. Unfortunately, if an IRQ is unregistered the IRQ descriptor may still have affinity to the CPU being offlined, but the no_irq_chip handler doesn't provide a set_affinity function. This causes us to hit the WARN_ON in migrate_irqs(). The easiest solution seems to be setting all the bits in the affinity mask when the last interrupt is removed from the vector. I hit this on an older kernel with Xen/ia64 using driver domains (so it probably needs more testing on upstream). Xen essentially uses the bind/unbind interface in sysfs to unregister a device from a driver and thus unregister the interrupt.

When the break fault handler is entered, it advances the IP by 1 instruction so break instruction single-stepping is skipped, actually it is next instruction which is single stepped. This patch modifies this, it adds TIF_SINGLESTEP bit for thread flags, and generate a fake sigtrap when single stepping break instruction. Test case in attachment can verify this.

* | [PATCH] kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)Magnus Damm2007-02-03
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to reproduce it on one machine so far. The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs() calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq(). The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

The latencies were serious and unjustified by system load, often in the milliseconds range. After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options, test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him: _------=> CPU# / _-----=> irqs-off | / _----=> need-resched || / _---=> hardirq/softirq ||| / _--=> preempt-depth |||| / ||||| delay cmd pid ||||| time | caller \ / ||||| \ | / IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup (try_to_wake_up) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup <<...>-5856> (37 0) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __trace_start_sched_wakeup (c01262ba 0 0) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : resched_task (try_to_wake_up) IRQ_19-1479 1D..1 0us : __spin_unlock_irqrestore (try_to_wake_up) ... <idle>-0 1...1 11us!: default_idle (cpu_idle) ... <idle>-0 0Dn.1 602us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (c0103baf 1 0) ... <...>-5856 0D..2 618us : __switch_to (__schedule) <...>-5856 0D..2 618us : __schedule <<idle>-0> (20 162) <...>-5856 0D..2 619us : __spin_unlock_irq (__schedule) <...>-5856 0...1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched (__schedule) <...>-5856 0D..1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0) what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task() for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set, and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup! the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree: commit 495ab9c045e1b0e5c82951b762257fe1c9d81564 Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Mon Jun 26 13:59:11 2006 +0200 [PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status. the problem is this type of change: if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) { - clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG); + current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING; smp_mb__after_clear_bit(); while (!need_resched()) { local_irq_disable(); this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING. clear_thread_flag() is defined as: clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags); and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms: static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr) { __asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX "btrl %1,%0" hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier: #define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier() but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch: + current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING; is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now reside in different memory addresses. CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched() and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory ordering is paramount.] Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often. ( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. ) The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default, ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits, kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled. Signed-off-by: bibo,mao <bibo.mao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | Stephane thought he saw a problem here (but was just confused by the return value from ia64_pal_get_brand_info()). But we should be more defensive here in case an prototype PAL for a future processor doesn't implement this PAL call. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* [IA64] - Reduce overhead of FP exception logging messagesJack Steiner2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits logging of messages. There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code. 1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line. The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!! 2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate to ~1 per second.

* [IA64] Kexec/Kdump: honour non-zero crashkernel offset.Horms2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing users's to sepcify it. The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on most architectures is for the user to always specify the address. Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined. With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided. This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

* [IA64] CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP permutationsHorms2006-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile in kexec. The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines. Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.
