The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512 CPUs, or a full 4096 in the case of MAXSMP. There are machines that have 1024 CPUs in them today and configuring a kernel for that means you are forced to set MAXSMP. This adds additional unnecessary overhead. While that overhead might be considered tiny for large machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a kernel that runs across a wide variety of machines. To cover the range of more common machines today, we allow NR_CPUS to be up to 4096 when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.

The AMD_GART driver was made EXPERT/EMBEDDED a long time ago to avoid unbootable 64bit systems with 32bit only devices. This was before swiotlb was there, which does the job of this fallback today. SWIOTLB is always on, so systems should always boot. The drawback is that every system has to compile that driver in (it cannot be a module). Also: - Newer AMD CPUs (the APUs) don't seem to have AMD_GART support at all anymore. - Newer AMD platforms have a much better real IOMMU - The AMD GART driver was never very good (lots of overhead, e.g. in flushing due to some workarounds) and it's doubtful it's really better than SWIOTLB. - On older K8 systems it didn't even work with all chipsets. - The 32bit device bounce buffer case should be rare/ non performance critical these days anyways. - On non AMD systems it is not needed at all. So drop the EXPERT dependency on AMD_GART and remove the default y. The driver can be still compiled in, just it's an explicit decision now, and people who don't want it can unselect it. I also clarified the description a bit. This allows to save ~8K text on most modern x86-64 systems.

Commit ebd97be6 ('PCI: remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI kconfig option') removed the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI option which architectures could select to indicate that they support MSI. Now, all architectures are supposed to build fine when MSI support is enabled: instead of having the architecture tell *when* MSI support can be used, it's up to the architecture code to ensure that MSI support can be enabled. On x86, commit ebd97be6 removed the following line: select ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI if (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) Which meant that MSI support was only available when the local APIC and I/O APIC were enabled. While this is always true on SMP or x86-64, it is not necessarily the case on i386 !SMP. The below patch makes sure that the local APIC and I/O APIC support is always enabled when MSI support is enabled. To do so, it: * Ensures the X86_UP_APIC option is not visible when PCI_MSI is enabled. This is the option that allows, on UP machines, to enable or not the APIC support. It is already not visible on SMP systems, or x86-64 systems, for example. We're simply also making it invisible on i386 MSI systems. * Ensures that the X86_LOCAL_APIC and X86_IO_APIC options are 'y' when PCI_MSI is enabled. Notice that this change requires a change in drivers/iommu/Kconfig to avoid a recursive Kconfig dependencey. The AMD_IOMMU option selects PCI_MSI, but was depending on X86_IO_APIC. This dependency is no longer needed: as soon as PCI_MSI is selected, the presence of X86_IO_APIC is guaranteed. Moreover, the AMD_IOMMU already depended on X86_64, which already guaranteed that X86_IO_APIC was enabled, so this dependency was anyway redundant.

Now x86-64 runs softirqs in the hardirq stack anyway, so what we mostly skip is some needless per cpu refcounting updates there. x86-32 is not concerned because it only runs the irq handler on the irq stack.

Commit d7c53c9e enabled ARCH_CPU_PROBE_RELEASE on x86 in order to serialize CPU online/offline operations. Although it is the config option to enable CPU hotplug test interfaces, probe & release, it is also the option to enable cpu_hotplug_driver_lock() as well. Therefore, this option had to be enabled on x86 with dummy arch_cpu_probe() and arch_cpu_release(). Since then, lock_device_hotplug() was introduced to serialize CPU online/offline & hotplug operations. Therefore, this config option is no longer required for the serialization. This patch disables this config option on x86 and revert the changes made by commit d7c53c9e.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock" contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are contended. Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t. Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the spinlock. So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for "atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero), so a locked region can still see the count change. The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock. In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to do three things: (1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works on such a u64 data type. (2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked ("arch_spin_value_unlocked()") (3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its Kconfig file. This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for 32-bit mode).

The current situation regarding boot-framebuffers (VGA, VESA/VBE, EFI) on x86 causes troubles when loading multiple fbdev drivers. The global "struct screen_info" does not provide any state-tracking about which drivers use the FBs. request_mem_region() theoretically works, but unfortunately vesafb/efifb ignore it due to quirks for broken boards. Avoid this by creating a platform framebuffer devices with a pointer to the "struct screen_info" as platform-data. Drivers can now create platform-drivers and the driver-core will refuse multiple drivers being active simultaneously. We keep the screen_info available for backwards-compatibility. Drivers can be converted in follow-up patches. Different devices are created for VGA/VESA/EFI FBs to allow multiple drivers to be loaded on distro kernels. We create: - "vesa-framebuffer" for VBE/VESA graphics FBs - "efi-framebuffer" for EFI FBs - "platform-framebuffer" for everything else This allows to load vesafb, efifb and others simultaneously and each picks up only the supported FB types. Apart from platform-framebuffer devices, this also introduces a compatibility option for "simple-framebuffer" drivers which recently got introduced for OF based systems. If CONFIG_X86_SYSFB is selected, we try to match the screen_info against a simple-framebuffer supported format. If we succeed, we create a "simple-framebuffer" device instead of a platform-framebuffer. This allows to reuse the simplefb.c driver across architectures and also to introduce a SimpleDRM driver. There is no need to have vesafb.c, efifb.c, simplefb.c and more just to have architecture specific quirks in their setup-routines. Instead, we now move the architecture specific quirks into x86-setup and provide a generic simple-framebuffer. For backwards-compatibility (if strange formats are used), we still allow vesafb/efifb to be loaded simultaneously and pick up all remaining devices.

CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE enables the /sys/devices/system/memory/probe interface, which allows a given memory address to be hot-added as follows: # echo start_address_of_new_memory > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe (See Documentation/memory-hotplug.txt for more details.) This probe interface is required on powerpc. On x86, however, ACPI notifies a memory hotplug event to the kernel, which performs its hotplug operation as the result. Therefore, regular users do not need this interface on x86. This probe interface is also error-prone and misleading that the kernel blindly adds a given memory address without checking if the memory is present on the system; no probing is done despite of its name. The kernel crashes when a user requests to online a memory block that is not present on the system. This interface is currently used for testing as it can fake a hotplug event. This patch disables CONFIG_ARCH_MEMORY_PROBE by default on x86, adds its Kconfig menu entry on x86, and clarifies its use in Documentation/ memory-hotplug.txt.

This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug to present the actual menu option. This removes a bunch of duplication and adds consistency across arches. Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NH.

Add a configuration option to build RapidIO subsystem core code as a loadable kernel module. Currently this option is available only for x86-based platforms, with the additional patch for PowerPC planned to be provided later. This patch replaces kernel command line parameter "riohdid=" with its module-specific analog "rapidio.hdid=".

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task writes to. In order to do this tracking one should 1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs) 2. Wait some time. 3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries) To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE. Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE. Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

Kay Sievers noted that the ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK config, which enables some minor compile time optimization to avoid uncessary code in mostly the suspend/resume path could cause problems for userland. In particular, the dependency for RTC_HCTOSYS on !ALWAYS_USE_PERSISTENT_CLOCK, which avoids setting the time twice and simplifies suspend/resume, has the side effect of causing the /sys/class/rtc/rtcN/hctosys flag to always be zero, and this flag is commonly used by udev to setup the /dev/rtc symlink to /dev/rtcN, which can cause pain for older applications. While the udev rules could use some work to be less fragile, breaking userland should strongly be avoided. Additionally the compile time optimizations are fairly minor, and the code being optimized is likely to be reworked in the future, so lets revert this change.

The help text for this config is duplicated across the x86, parisc, and s390 Kconfig.debug files. Arnd Bergman noted that the help text was slightly misleading and should be fixed to state that enabling this option isn't a problem when using pre 4.4 gcc. To simplify the rewording, consolidate the text into lib/Kconfig.debug and modify it there to be more explicit about when you should say N to this config. Also, make the text a bit more generic by stating that this option enables compile time checks so we can cover architectures which emit warnings vs. ones which emit errors. The details of how an architecture decided to implement the checks isn't as important as the concept of compile time checking of copy_from_user() calls. While we're doing this, remove all the copy_from_user_overflow() code that's duplicated many times and place it into lib/ so that any architecture supporting this option can get the function for free.
