Since checkin ebba638a we call verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, calling a function means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in the 32-bit setup code! This code initializes the stack pointer, and simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different values for the segment register anyway. This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants the other way around...

Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire 1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression. commit d0af9eed Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Date: Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700 x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init Because of the UP configuration of that platform, native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check()) before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init() Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual write only if they are different. BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's happens and all is well. However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of the OS boot. During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup. We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the commit d0af9eed, because only the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP had at the start of the OS boot. Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot. Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393 [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ] Reported-and-bisected-by: NMarkus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Tested-by: NMarkus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Thomas Renninger <trenn@novell.com> Cc: Rafael Wysocki <rjw@novell.com> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # [v2.6.32+] LKML-Reference: <1296694975.4418.402.camel@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch fixes some issues with raw event validation on Pentium 4 (Netburst) based processors. As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two problems in the p4_validate_raw_event() function: - the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on - the binding to ESCR register was missing The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded correctly compared to generic PMU events. With this patch, I can now pass Netburst events to libpfm4 examples and get meaningful results: $ task -e global_power_events:running:u noploop 1 noploop for 1 seconds 3,206,304,898 global_power_events:running Signed-off-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Cc: perfmon2-devel@lists.sf.net Cc: eranian@gmail.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: gorcunov@gmail.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com LKML-Reference: <4d3efb2f.1252d80a.1a80.ffffc83f@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code: ... if (!stack) { unsigned long dummy; stack = &dummy; if (task && task != current) stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp; } bp = stack_frame(task, regs); /* * Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the * current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested * exceptions */ tinfo = task_thread_info(task); for (;;) { char *id; unsigned long *estack_end; estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack, &used, &id); ... You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable 'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the 'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y option is broken with new binutils, which will make boot panic. According to Lu Hongjiu, the affected binutils are from 2.20.51.0.12 to 2.21.51.0.3, which are release since Oct 22 this year. At least ubuntu 10.10 is using such binutils. See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12327 The reason of the boot panic is that we have 'jiffies = jiffies_64;' in vmlinux.lds.S. The jiffies isn't in any section. In kernel build, there is warning saying jiffies is an absolute address and can't be relocatable. At runtime, jiffies will have virtual address 0.

Konrad Wilk reported that the new delayed calibration crashes with a divide by zero on Xen. The reason is that Xen sets the pmtimer address, but reading from it returns 0xffffff. That results in the ref_start and ref_stop value being the same, so the delta is zero which causes the divide by zero later in the calculation. The conditional (!hpet && !ref_start && !ref_stop) which sanity checks the calibration reference values doesn't really make sense. If the refs are null, but hpet is on, we still want to break out. The div by zero would be possible to trigger by chance if both reads from the hardware provided the exact same value (due to hardware wrapping). So checking if both the ref values are the same should handle if we don't have hardware (both null) or if they are the same value (either by invalid hardware, or by chance), avoiding the div by zero issue.

cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle" events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex. It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use the cpuidle subsystem, namely: - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait) - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess) - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before) Convention should be: Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere down the the callee tree) to keep things easy. Current possible pm_idle functions in X86: c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle -> this is really easy is now. This affects userspace: The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get mapped to: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...} instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values. This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver. For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor misses out C-states in his BIOS. Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle events from: /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3. -> everything is fine.

Having four variables for the same thing: idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides is rather confusing and unnecessary complex. if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable: boot_option_idle_overrides Introduces following functional changes/fixes: - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy boot param is passed. - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver and get active if idle=halt is passed. Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but without registering a whole cpuidle driver. That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register with one exception (same behavior as before): idle=nomwait may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep states where C1 mwait causes problems.

Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support. Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that. Known issue: - Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe. v2: - adjust printk format per comments.

While both methods should work equivalently well for the native case, the Xen Dom0 case can't reliably work with the MSR one, since there's no guarantee that the virtual CPUs it has available fully cover all necessary physical ones. As per the suggestion of Robert Richter the patch only adds the PCI method, but leaves the MSR one as a fallback to cover new systems the PCI IDs of which may not have got added to the code base yet.

As their local APIC timer is clocked at 400KHZ, and the current code limit their Initial Counter register to 23 bits, they cannot sleep more than 1.34 seconds which leads to ~2 spurious wakeup per second (1 per thread) These SOCs support 32bit timer so we change the max_delta to at least 31bits. So we can at least sleep for 300 seconds. We could not find any previous chip errata where lapic would only have 23 bit precision As powertop is suggesting to activate HPET to "sleep longer", this could mean this problem is already known. Problem is here since very first implementation of lapic timer as a clock event e9e2cdb4 [PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers.

Don found that P4 PMU reads CCCR register instead of counter itself (in attempt to catch unflagged event) this makes P4 NMI handler to consume all NMIs it observes. So the other NMI users such as kgdb simply have no chance to get NMI on their hands. Side note: at moment there is no way to run nmi-watchdog together with perf tool. This is because both 'perf top' and nmi-watchdog use same event. So while nmi-watchdog reserves one event/counter for own needs there is no room for perf tool left (there is a way to disable nmi-watchdog on boot of course). Ming has tested this patch with the following results | 1. watchdog disabled | | kgdb tests on boot OK | perf works OK | | 2. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 | | kgdb tests on boot hang | | 3. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 and do not run kgdb | tests on boot | | "perf top" partialy works | cpu-cycles no | instructions yes | cache-references no | cache-misses no | branch-instructions no | branch-misses yes | bus-cycles no | | 4. watchdog enabled, with patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 applied | | kgdb tests on boot OK | perf does not work, NMI "Dazed and confused" messages show up | Which means we still have problems with p4 box due to 'unknown' nmi happens but at least it should fix kgdb test cases.

From the x86_64 low level interrupt handlers, the frame pointer is saved right after the partial pt_regs frame. rbp is not supposed to be part of the irq partial saved registers, but it only requires to extend the pt_regs frame by 8 bytes to do so, plus a tiny stack offset fixup on irq exit. This changes a bit the semantics or get_irq_entry() that is supposed to provide only the value of caller saved registers and the cpu saved frame. However it's a win for unwinders that can walk through stack frames on top of get_irq_regs() snapshots. A noticeable impact is that it makes perf events cpu-clock and task-clock events based callchains working on x86_64. Let's then save rbp into the irq pt_regs.

Just re-arrange the code a bit to make it easier to follow what is going on. Basically un-negating the if-statement and swapping the code inside the if-statement with code outside.

In original NMI handler, NMI reason io port (0x61) is only processed on BSP. This makes it impossible to hot-remove BSP. To solve the issue, a raw spinlock is used to allow the port to be processed on any CPU.

With priorities in place and no one really understanding the difference between DIE_NMI and DIE_NMI_IPI, just remove DIE_NMI_IPI and convert everyone to DIE_NMI. This also simplifies default_do_nmi() a little bit. Instead of calling the die_notifier in both the if and else part, just pull it out and call it before the if-statement. This has the side benefit of avoiding a call to the ioport to see if there is an external NMI sitting around until after the (more frequent) internal NMIs are dealt with.

In order to consolidate the NMI die_chain events, we need to setup the priorities for the die notifiers. I started by defining a bunch of common priorities that can be used by the notifier blocks. Then I modified the notifier blocks to use the newly created priorities. Now that the priorities are straightened out, it should be easier to remove the event DIE_NMI_IPI.
