* ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAITVenkatesh Pallipadi2006-10-141-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction. Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using ACPI _PDC and _CST methods. Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3). We won't use the special IO ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state. Overall this will mean better C-state support. One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and "treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate timing for the time spent in C1, C2, .. states.

* [PATCH] epoll_pwait()Davide Libenzi2006-10-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism with the same logic ppoll and pselect do. The definition of epoll_pwait is: int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents, int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize); The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting for events. Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event, or an unmasked signal happen. If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system call will act exactly like epoll_wait.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Which vector an irq is assigned to now varies dynamically and is not needed outside of io_apic.c. So remove the possibility of accessing the information outside of io_apic.c and remove the silly macro that makes looking for users of irq_vector difficult.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-0510-21/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

* | [PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch codeEric W. Biederman2006-10-041-20/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq. For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate platform code. With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this actually takes less code. The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* | [PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt supportEric W. Biederman2006-10-041-0/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for arch specific irq_chip handlers. The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged. However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19 Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be generalized to work there. I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less interesting. However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

* [PATCH] paravirt: kpte flushZachary Amsden2006-10-011-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

* [PATCH] paravirt: combine flush accessed dirty.patchZachary Amsden2006-10-011-13/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove ptep_test_and_clear_{dirty|young} from i386, and instead use the dominating functions, ptep_clear_flush_{dirty|young}. This allows the TLB page flush to be contained in the same macro, and allows for an eager optimization - if reading the PTE initially returned dirty/accessed, we can assume the fact that no subsequent update to the PTE which cleared accessed / dirty has occurred, as the only way A/D bits can change without holding the page table lock is if a remote processor clears them. This eliminates an extra branch which came from the generic version of the code, as we know that no other CPU could have cleared the A/D bit, so the flush will always be needed. We still export these two defines, even though we do not actually define the macros in the i386 code: #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_YOUNG #define __HAVE_ARCH_PTEP_TEST_AND_CLEAR_DIRTY The reason for this is that the only use of these functions is within the generic clear_flush functions, and we want a strong guarantee that there are no other users of these functions, so we want to prevent the generic code from defining them for us.

This patch: On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should be avoided. In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides at the bottom of the stack. x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure. To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()" (it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel. This is a possible implementation for i386. Signed-off-by: Fernando Vazquez <fernando@intellilink.co.jp> Looks-reasonable-to: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Acked-by: "Eric W.

* [PATCH] Directed yield: cpu_relax variants for spinlocks and rw-locksMartin Schwidefsky2006-10-011-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the lock (directed yield). With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without common code changes. Powerpc already does this. With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock, _raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax, _raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.

* [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node callskeith mannthey2006-09-292-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information provided by the SRAT. It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago and was seen as an acceptable fix. The current way of obtaining the nodeid static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid) { return logical_apicid >> 5; } is just not correct for all summit systems/bios. Assuming the apicid matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped out the apicids a set way. Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa. The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT table during boot. It lays out what apicid belongs to what node. I use this information to create a table for use at run time.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The counter is exported to /sys that keeps track of the number of thermal events, such that the user knows how bad the thermal problem might be (since the logging to syslog and mcelog is rate limited).

This allows consistent reporting of CPU thermal throttle events. After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit) the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

| * [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich2006-09-262-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking privilege level (user vs kernel). This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace.

And: Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro.
