* x86: fix up alternatives with lockdep enabledIngo Molnar2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | An older binutils bug caused us to not fix up alternatives. This problem involved mutex.c but we dont do lockdep section tricks there anymore, so this workaround is moot. Keep the printk nevertheless, just in case ... We can remove that later on. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* x86: optimize lock prefix switching to run less frequentlyAndi Kleen2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and retranslate a lot of code. Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel on UP. This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow! Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline. v1->v2: Rename max_cpus v1->v2: Fix off by one in UP check (Thomas Gleixner) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* x86: add set/clear_cpu_cap operationsJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch to suppress bitops-related warnings added a pile of ugly casts. Many of these were related to the management of x86 CPU capabilities. Clean these up by adding specific set/clear_cpu_cap macros, and use them consistently.

* x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayMike Travis2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.

| * paravirt: refactor struct paravirt_ops into smaller pv_*_opsJeremy Fitzhardinge2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too) pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else pv_time_ops - time-related functions pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state pv_apic_ops - APIC operations pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables There are several motivations for this: 1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff while allowing separate implementations where needed. 2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply). 3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable. Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.
