* perf_events, x86: Implement Intel Westmere/Nehalem-EX supportPeter Zijlstra2010-04-26

Add support for this generation. Found the CPUID model numbers on wikipedia. Also ammend some Nehalem constraints, spotted those when looking for the differences between Nehalem and Westmere.

* x86, cacheinfo: Remove NUMA dependency, fix for AMD Fam10h rev D1Borislav Petkov2010-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit f619b3d8427eb57f0134dab75b0d217325c72411 upstream. The show/store_cache_disable routines depend unnecessarily on NUMA's cpu_to_node and the disabling of cache indices broke when !CONFIG_NUMA. Remove that dependency by using a helper which is always correct. While at it, enable L3 Cache Index disable on rev D1 Istanbuls which sport the feature too.

* x86: Fix sched_clock_cpu for systems with unsynchronized TSCDimitri Sivanich2010-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 14be1f7454ea96ee614467a49cf018a1a383b189 upstream. On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades. The sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go backwards (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching between cpus. As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the sched_clock_stable flag true. When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0). After this, early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes up. Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable.

On managed CPUs the cpufreq.c core will call driver->exit(cpu) on the managed cpus and powernow_k8 will free the core's data. Later driver->get(cpu) function might get called trying to read out the current freq of a managed cpu and the NULL pointer check does not work on the freed object -> better set it to NULL. ->get() is unsigned and must return 0 as invalid frequency.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_X86_CPU_DEBUG, which provides some parsed versions of the x86 CPU configuration via debugfs, has caused boot failures on real hardware.

That's inefficient if that CPU differs from the current CPU. Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the rdmsr on the current CPU. So switch to using the new smp_call_function_any(), which will perform the call on the current CPU if that CPU is present in the mask (it is).

Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add check if APIC is not disabled since thermal monitoring depends on it. As only apic gets disabled we should not try to install "thermal monitor" vector, print out that thermal monitoring is enabled and etc... Note that "Intel Correct Machine Check Interrupts" already has such a check. Also I decided to not add cpu_has_apic check into mcheck_intel_therm_init since even if it'll call apic_read on disabled apic -- it's safe here and allow us to save a few code bytes.

It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take about 84 minutes to clear the serial port. This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages which contain no additional information. Much of this information is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to a problem. The new cpu bootup sequence for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING: Booting Node 0, Processors #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok. Booting Node 1, Processors #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok. ...

The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a CPU that has had siblings previously removed. This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache maps when a cpu is added.

Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

The value is found in "AMD PowerNow! Technology Platform Design Guide for Embedded Processors" dated December 2000 (AMD doc #24267A). There is the answer to one of FAQs on page 40 which states that suggested complete transition period is 200 us. Tested on K6-2+ CPU with K6-3 core (model 13, stepping 4).
