      xen/boot: Disable BIOS SMP MP table search. · bd49940a
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
      As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions
      of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we
      use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT
      (so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR.
      
      The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do
      not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables.
      
      Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching
      for BIOS SMP tables.
      
      This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6:

      which is that ioremap would end up mapping 0xff using _PAGE_IOMAP
      (which is what early_ioremap sticks as a flag) - which meant
      we would get MFN 0xFF (pte ff461, which is OK), and then it would
      also map 0x100 (b/c ioremap tries to get page aligned request, and
      it was trying to map 0xf4fa0 + PAGE_SIZE - so it mapped the next page)
      as _PAGE_IOMAP. Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP
      bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461.
      Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the
      Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example
      0x80140.

      Pull workqueue / powernow-k8 fix from Tejun Heo:
       "This is the fix for the bug where cpufreq/powernow-k8 was tripping
        BUG_ON() in try_to_wake_up_local() by migrating workqueue worker to a

          https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47301
      
        As discussed, the fix is now two parts - one to reimplement
        work_on_cpu() so that it doesn't create a new kthread each time and
        the actual fix which makes powernow-k8 use work_on_cpu() instead of
        performing manual migration.
      
        While pretty late in the merge cycle, both changes are on the safer
        side.  Jiri and I verified two existing users of work_on_cpu() and
        Duncan confirmed that the powernow-k8 fix survived about 18 hours of
        testing."

      cpufreq/powernow-k8: workqueue user shouldn't migrate the kworker to another CPU · 6889125b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      powernowk8_target() runs off a per-cpu work item and if the
      cpufreq_policy->cpu is different from the current one, it migrates the
      kworker to the target CPU by manipulating current->cpus_allowed.  The
      function migrates the kworker back to the original CPU but this is
      still broken.  Workqueue concurrency management requires the kworkers
      to stay on the same CPU and powernowk8_target() ends up triggerring
      BUG_ON(rq != this_rq()) in try_to_wake_up_local() if it contends on
      fidvid_mutex and sleeps.
      
      It is unclear why this bug is being reported now.  Duncan says it
      appeared to be a regression of 3.6-rc1 and couldn't reproduce it on
      3.5.  Bisection seemed to point to 63d95a91 "workqueue: use @pool
      instead of @gcwq or @cpu where applicable" which is an non-functional
      change.  Given that the reproduce case sometimes took upto days to
      trigger, it's easy to be misled while bisecting.  Maybe something made
      contention on fidvid_mutex more likely?  I don't know.
      
      This patch fixes the bug by using work_on_cpu() instead if @pol->cpu
      isn't the same as the current one.  The code assumes that
      cpufreq_policy->cpu is kept online by the caller, which Rafael tells
      me is the case.
      
      stable: ed48ece2 ("workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using
              system_wq") should be applied before this; otherwise, the
              behavior could be horrible.

      workqueue: reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq · ed48ece2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      The existing work_on_cpu() implementation is hugely inefficient.  It
      creates a new kthread, execute that single function and then let the
      kthread die on each invocation.
      
      Now that system_wq can handle concurrent executions, there's no
      advantage of doing this.  Reimplement work_on_cpu() using system_wq
      which makes it simpler and way more efficient.
      
      stable: While this isn't a fix in itself, it's needed to fix a
              workqueue related bug in cpufreq/powernow-k8.  AFAICS, this
              shouldn't break other existing users.
