* Update PULL_TIMERS_VECTOR numberAndrea Bastoni2011-08-27
| | | | | | From 2.6.39 the "0xee" vector number that we used for pull_timers low-level management is is use by invalidate_tlb_X interrupts. Move the pull_timers vector below the max size of invalidate_tlb.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some notes: * Litmus^RT scheduling class is the topmost scheduling class (above stop_sched_class). * scheduler_ipi() function (e.g., in smp_reschedule_interrupt()) may increase IPI latencies. * Added path into schedule() to quickly re-evaluate scheduling decision without becoming preemptive again. This used to be a standard path before the removal of BKL.

| * x86: Make Dell Latitude E6420 use reboot=pciH. Peter Anvin2011-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yet another variant of the Dell Latitude series which requires reboot=pci.

| * x86: Make Dell Latitude E5420 use reboot=pciDaniel J Blueman2011-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rebooting on the Dell E5420 often hangs with the keyboard or ACPI methods, but is reliable via the PCI method. [ hpa: this was deferred because we believed for a long time that the recent reshuffling of the boot priorities in commit 660e34cebf0a11d54f2d5dd8838607452355f321 fixed this platform. Unfortunately that turned out to be incorrect. ] Signed-off-by: Daniel J Blueman <daniel.blueman@gmail.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1305248699-2347-1-git-send-email-daniel.blueman@gmail.com Signed-off-by: H.

Unfortunately, SPARSEMEM on 32bit had rather coarse (512MiB) addr->node mapping granularity due to lack of space in page->flags. This led to boot failure on certain AMD NUMA machines which had 128MiB alignment on nodes. Patches to properly detect this condition and reject NUMA configuration are posted[1] but deemed too pervasive for merge at this point (-rc6). Disable AMD NUMA for 32bit for now and re-enable once the detection logic is merged.

| | * xen/pci: Move check for acpi_sci_override_gsi to xen_setup_acpi_sci.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk2011-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we would check for acpi_sci_override_gsi == gsi every time a PCI device was enabled. That works during early bootup, but later on it could lead to triggering unnecessarily the acpi_gsi_to_irq(..) lookup. The reason is that acpi_sci_override_gsi was declared in __initdata and after early bootup could contain bogus values. This patch moves the check for acpi_sci_override_gsi to the site where the ACPI SCI is preset.

In the long run we could handle this by providing a page table with a 1:1 mapping of physical addresses, but for now it's probably just easier to assume that ACPI or legacy methods will be present and reboot via those.

In 32bit PAE mode, this can lead to a fault when EFER is restored by the kernel wakeup routines, due to it setting the NX bit for a CPU that (thanks to the BIOS reset) now incorrectly thinks it lacks the NX feature. (64bit is not affected because it uses a common CPU bring-up that specifically handles the XD_DISABLE bit.) The need for MISC_ENABLE being restored so early is specific to the S3 resume path. Normally, MISC_ENABLE is saved in save_processor_state(), but this happens after the resume header is created, so just reproduce the logic here. (acpi_suspend_lowlevel() creates the header, calls do_suspend_lowlevel, which calls save_processor_state(), so the saved processor context isn't available during resume header creation.)

This commit description is inaccurate - memory_present() calls aren't the same for flat and numaq. After the commit, memory_present() is only called for the intersection of e820 and NUMA layout. Before, on flatmem, memory_present() would be called from 0 to max_pfn. After, it would be called only on the areas that e820 indicates to be populated. This is how x86_64 works and should be okay as memmap is allowed to contain holes; however, x86_32 DISCONTIGMEM is missing early_pfn_valid(), which makes memmap_init_zone() assume that memmap doesn't contain any hole. This leads to the following oops if e820 map contains holes as it often does on machine with near or more 4GiB of memory by calling pfn_to_page() on a pfn which isn't mapped to a NUMA node, a reported by Conny Seidel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000012b0 IP: [<c1aa13ce>] memmap_init_zone+0x6c/0xf2 *pdpt =3D 0000000000000000 *pde =3D f000eef3f000ee00 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-rc5-00164-g797390d #1 To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Our code that presets the interrupt for ACPI SCI however would use the GSI 20 instead of IRQ 9 ending up with: xen: sci override: global_irq=20 trigger=0 polarity=1 xen: registering gsi 20 triggering 0 polarity 1 xen: --> pirq=20 -> irq=20 xen: acpi sci 20 .. snip.. calling acpi_init+0x0/0xbc @ 1 ACPI: SCI (IRQ9) allocation failed ACPI Exception: AE_NOT_ACQUIRED, Unable to install System Control Interrupt handler (20110413/evevent-119) ACPI: Unable to start the ACPI Interpreter as the ACPI interpreter made a call to 'acpi_gsi_to_irq' which got nine. It used that value to request an IRQ (request_irq) and since that was not present it failed. The fix is to recognize that for interrupts that are overriden (in our case we only care about the ACPI SCI) we should use the IRQ number to present the IRQ instead of the using GSI. End result is that we get: xen: sci override: global_irq=20 trigger=0 polarity=1 xen: registering gsi 20 triggering 0 polarity 1 xen: --> pirq=20 -> irq=9 (gsi=9) xen: acpi sci 9 which fixes the ACPI interpreter failing on startup.

But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in /arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y. Then, we see mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init': mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn' mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn' So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea... But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and should be implemented in the same manner for all archs. (m32r has different implementation...) This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now. A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c) for !NUMA start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn); end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;}); for NUMA (x86-64) start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn); end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;}); Changelog: - fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

The problem was: "on xen we add an extra memory region at the end of the e820, and on this particular machine this extra memory region would start below 4g and cross over the 4g boundary: [0xfee01000-0x192655000) Unfortunately e820_end_of_low_ram_pfn does not expect an e820 layout like that so it returns 4g, therefore initial_memory_mapping will map [0 - 0x100000000), that is a memory range that includes some reserved memory regions." The memory range was the IOAPIC regions, and with the 1-1 mapping turned on, it would map them as RAM, not as MMIO regions. This caused the hypervisor to complain. Fortunately this is experienced only under the initial domain so we guard for it.

However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions. The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position, but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions which can be reserved.

The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target. With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded softirqs we observed the following race: cpu 0 cpu 1 bringup(cpu1); set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true); local_irq_enable(); while (!cpu_online(cpu1)); timer_interrupt() -> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1); -> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0); ^^^^ cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1); -> sched_cpu_active(cpu1) -> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true); When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable behaviour. So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading, but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu which waits for the cpu_online bit.

This, in fact, breaks the fallback of hard coded paths to the init program from being ever successful if the first candidate fails to load. With this patch applied switching to USER_DS is delayed until the point of no return is reached which makes it possible to have a multi-arch rootfs with one arch specific init binary for each of the (hard coded) probed paths. Since the address limit is already set to USER_DS when start_thread() will be invoked, this redundancy can be safely removed.
