The real bug producing LatencyTop latencies has been fixed in: f5dc375: sched: Update the clock of runqueue select_task_rq() selected And the commit being reverted here triggers local timer processing from every device IRQ. If device IRQs come in at a high frequency, this could cause a performance regression. The commit being reverted here purely 'fixed' the reported latency as a side effect, because CPUs were being moved out of idle more often.

While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE code i also noticed a few other things and made the following cleanups/fixes: - Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not good, obviously. - The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h. - Added the more correct fallback printk of: No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type. Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode. On CPUs that dont have a decoder. - Made the surrounding code more readable. Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback - without having to check the CPU versions during the printout itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the decode-print function.

* | | x86, timers: Check for pending timers after (device) interruptsArjan van de Ven2009-10-08
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using iwlagn. It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible. The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that: 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up. I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec range.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console") introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel arguments. If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument and not as "serial" and then "ttyS". Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS directly without the "serial" argument.

It also eliminates the ".text.head" output section (instead placing head code at the start of the .text output section), which should be harmless. This patch only changes the sections in the actual kernel, not those in the compressed boot loader.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the address of the vsyscall page (VSYSCALL_PHYS_ADDR, VSYSCALL_VIRT_ADDR) was computed by arithmetic on the address of the last section. This leads to bugs when new sections are inserted, such as the one fixed by commit d312ceda567ab91acd756cde95ac5fbc6b40ed40. Let's compute it from the current address instead.

This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a 64-thread system I was lucky enough to get: $ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc 63 567 4221 There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a printk_once() to make the message appears only once.

This will cause the remaining inject-msg affect the next injection, which is not desired. To fix this, real inject-msg is used in raise_local instead of the one on the stack.
