| | * | | | x86, UV: BAU tunables into a debugfs fileCliff Wickman2010-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the Broadcast Assist Unit driver's nine tuning values variable by making them accessible through a read/write debugfs file. The file will normally be mounted as /sys/kernel/debug/sgi_uv/bau_tunables. The tunables are kept in each cpu's per-cpu BAU structure. The patch also does a little name improvement, and corrects the reset of two destination timeout counters.

| | * | | | x86, UV: Calculate BAU destination timeoutCliff Wickman2010-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Calculate the Broadcast Assist Unit's destination timeout period from the values in the relevant MMR's. Store it in each cpu's per-cpu BAU structure so that a destination timeout can be differentiated from a 'plugged' situation in which all software ack resources are already allocated and a timeout is pending. That case returns an immediate destination error.

The commit cf7500c0ea133d66f8449d86392d83f840102632 "x86, ioapic: In mpparse use mp_register_ioapic" started calling mp_register_ioapic from MP_ioapic_info. An extremely simple change that was obviously correct. Unfortunately mp_register_ioapic did just a little more than the previous hand crafted code and so we gained this call path. The problem call path is: MP_ioapic_info() mp_register_ioapic() io_apic_unique_id() io_apic_get_unique_id() get_physical_broadcast() modern_apic() lapic_get_version() apic_read(APIC_LVR) Which turned out to be a problem because the local apic was not mapped, at that point, unlike the similar point in the ACPI parsing code. This problem is fixed by mapping the local apic when parsing the mptable as soon as we reasonably can. Looking at the number of places we setup the fixmap for the local apic, I see some serious simplification opportunities. For the moment except for not duplicating the setting up of the fixmap in init_apic_mappings, I have not acted on them. The regression from 2.6.34 is tracked in bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16173 Cc: <stable@kernel.org> 2.6.35 Reported-by: David Hill <hilld@binarystorm.net> Reported-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@sophos.com> Tested-by: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@sophos.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Furthermore, it is *not* safe in the long run to rely on CPU 0 only coming online during the early boot -- at some point we're going to support offlining (and re-onlining) the boot CPU, and at that point we must not call xstate_enable_boot_cpu() again.

This patch moves this out of fpu initialization. There is also a lot of cross referencing between fpu and xsave code. This patch reduces this by making xsave_cntxt_init() and init_thread_xstate() static functions. The patch moves the cpu_has_xsave check at the beginning of xsave_init(). All other checks may removed then.

OFW remains resident in memory, living within virtual range 0xff800000 - 0xffc00000. A single page directory entry points to the pgdir that OFW actually uses, so rather than saving the entire page table, we grab and install that one entry permanently in the kernel's page table. This is currently only used by the OLPC XO. Note that this particular calling convention breaks PAE and PAT, and so cannot be used on newer x86 hardware.

Specifically SW reserved (bytes 464..511) fields in the fxsave frame and the reserved fields in the xsave header. To present a clean context for the signal handling, just clear these fields instead of clearing the complete fxsave/xsave memory layout, when we dump these registers directly to the user signal frame. Also avoid the call to second xrstor (which inits the state not passed in the signal frame) in restore_user_xstate() if all the state has already been restored by the first xrstor. These changes improve the performance of signal handling(by ~3-5% as measured by the lat_sig).

| | | | * | | | | | | | | | | x86, mtrr: Use stop machine context to rendezvous all the cpu'sSuresh Siddha2010-07-30

This avoids deadlock scenario (reported by Prarit) like: cpu A holds a read_lock (tasklist_lock for example) with irqs enabled cpu B waits for the same lock with irqs disabled using write_lock_irq cpu C doing set_mtrr() (during AP bringup for example), which will try to rendezvous all the cpus using IPI's This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the lock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Using stop cpu (run in the process context of per cpu based keventd) to do this rendezvous, avoids this deadlock scenario. Also make sure all the cpu's are in the rendezvous handler before we proceed with the local_irq_save() on each cpu. This lock step disabling irqs on all the cpus will avoid other deadlock scenarios (for example involving with the blocking smp_call_function's etc). [ This problem is very old. Marking -stable only for 2.6.35 as the stop_one_cpu_nowait() API is present only in 2.6.35. Any older kernel interested in this fix need to do some more work in backporting this patch. ] Reported-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1280515602.2682.10.camel@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Acked-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.35] Signed-off-by: H.

As a result delays don't work correctly on all cpus. The solutions is to set preset_lpj value based on the current tsc frequency value. This is similar to what KVM does as well.
