* x86, efi: Calling __pa() with an ioremap()ed address is invalidMatt Fleming2011-12-092-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address. On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following oops on some machines: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280 IP: [<c10257b9>] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210 [...] Call Trace: [<c104f8ca>] ? page_is_ram+0x1a/0x40 [<c1025aff>] reserve_memtype+0xdf/0x2f0 [<c1024dc9>] set_memory_uc+0x49/0xa0 [<c19334d0>] efi_enter_virtual_mode+0x1c2/0x3aa [<c19216d4>] start_kernel+0x291/0x2f2 [<c19211c7>] ? loglevel+0x1b/0x1b [<c19210bf>] i386_start_kernel+0xbf/0xc8 A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache(). Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in the following bug report, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516 Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows us to delete efi_ioremap() completely. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming@intel.com> Cc: H.

* | xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk2011-12-031-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea behind commit d91ee5863b71 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86 pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle() which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code. It disallows cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent). But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle. This depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU. In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor (Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get: Brought up 2 CPUs invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1 RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81015d1d>] [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4 ...

Meaning we end up going to hypervisor twice instead of just once. The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup. We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen. This patch does that.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moorestown/Medfield platform does not have port 0x61 to report NMI status, nor does it have external NMI sources. The only NMI sources are from lapic, as results of perf counter overflow or IPI, e.g. NMI watchdog or spin lock debug. Reading port 0x61 on Moorestown will return 0xff which misled NMI handlers to false critical errors such memory parity error. The subsequent ioport access for NMI handling can also cause undefined behavior on Moorestown. This patch allows kernel process NMI due to watchdog or backrace dump without unnecessary hangs.

* | x86/mce: Make mce_chrdev_ops 'static const'Luck, Tony2011-11-081-1/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but mce-inject directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its write handler. In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own character device, but we have a sizable legacy of test scripts that hardwire "/dev/mcelog", so it would be painful to switch to a separate device now. Instead, this patch switches to a stub function in the mce code, with a registration helper that mce-inject can call when it is loaded. Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow mce-inject to be unloaded again (with an unregister function, and appropriate module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for potential future patches.

| * | | crypto: sha1 - SSSE3 based SHA1 implementation for x86-64Mathias Krause2011-08-101-0/+3

Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to 2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25% faster. Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread. The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using the SSE/YMM registers is not possible. With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%. Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running. For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s). Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case. Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer FTB-8510: frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta 64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0% 128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0% 256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3% 512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2% 1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3% 1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4% 1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0% 1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8% The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory directly from the source process into its own address space via a system call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current process's address space into a destination process's address space. - Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with using it: - Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or written to would need to be contiguous. - Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call, but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping (reason appears to have been lost) - Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view, especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands of processes that all need to do this with each other - Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to consider adding in the future (see below) - Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily) As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the copying. There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source and destination and store it in the destination. Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up when the mm changes. There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that: http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=130105930902915&w=2 There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for 64-bit kernels. For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly verify that the syscalls are working correctly here: http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/cma-test-20110718.tgz Signed-off-by: Chris Yeoh <yeohc@au1.ibm.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: "H.

Note that one change, of one line in kvm_arch_vcpu_load, is made redundant by a different patch sent by Zachary Amsden (and not yet applied): kvm_arch_vcpu_load() should not read the guest TSC, and if it didn't, of course we didn't have to change the call of kvm_get_msr() to read_l1_tsc().

Since the exit_reason depends on the instruction set (vmx or svm), formatting is handled with ftrace_print_symbols_seq() by referring to the appropriate exit reason table. However, the ftrace_print_symbols_seq() function is not meant to be used directly in tracepoints since it does not export the formatting table which userspace tools like trace-cmd and perf use to format traces. In practice perf dies when formatting vmexit-related events and trace-cmd falls back to printing the numeric value (with extra formatting code in the kvm plugin to paper over this limitation). Other userspace consumers of vmexit-related tracepoints would be in similar trouble. To avoid significant changes to the kvm_exit tracepoint, this patch moves the vmx and svm exit reason tables into arch/x86/kvm/trace.h and selects the right table with __print_symbolic() depending on the instruction set. Note that __print_symbolic() is designed for exporting the formatting table to userspace and allows trace-cmd and perf to work.

The GRU API for UV2 was inadvertently broken by a hardware change. The format of the physical address used for TLB dropins and for addresses used with instructions running in unmapped mode has changed. This change was not documented and became apparent only when diags failed running on system simulators. For UV1, TLB and GRU instruction physical addresses are identical to socket physical addresses (although high NASID bits must be OR'ed into the address). For UV2, socket physical addresses need to be converted. The NODE portion of the physical address needs to be shifted so that the low bit is in bit 39 or bit 40, depending on an MMR value. It is not yet clear if this bug will be fixed in a silicon respin. If it is fixed, the hub revision will be incremented & the workaround disabled.

For the 8 bit ticket lock variant, we use a register union to get direct access to the lower and upper bytes in the tickets, but unfortunately gcc won't generate a direct comparison between the two halves of the register, so the generated asm isn't quite as pretty as the hand-coded version. However benchmarking shows that this is actually a small improvement in runtime performance on some benchmarks, and never a slowdown. We also need to make sure there's a barrier at the end of the lock loop to make sure that the compiler doesn't move any instructions from within the locked region into the region where we don't yet own the lock.
