The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack() (ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks). The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist in one location (the thread stack). By moving previous_esp to the end of thread_info and referencing it as an offset instead of using a thread_info field, this becomes a stepping stone to moving the thread_info. The offset to get to the previous stack is rather ugly in this patch, but this is only temporary and the prev_esp will be changed in the next commit. This commit is more for sanity checks of the change.

Vince "Super Tester" Weaver reported a new round of syscall fuzzing (Trinity) failures, with perf WARN_ON()s triggering. He also provided traces of the failures.

At this point we should have: n_events = 2, n_added = 1, n_txn = 1 > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926170: collect_events: Adding event: 0 (ffff8800c9e01800) > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926172: collect_events: Adding event: 4 (ffff8800cbab2c00) We try and add the {BP,cycles,br_insn} group (fd[3], fd[4], fd[15]). These events are 0:cycles and 4:br_insn, the BP event isn't x86_pmu so that's not visible. group_sched_in() pmu->start_txn() /* nop - BP pmu */ event_sched_in() event->pmu->add() So here we should end up with: 0: n_events = 3, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2 4: n_events = 4, n_added = 3, n_txn = 3 But seeing the below state on x86_pmu_enable(), the must have failed, because the 0 and 4 events aren't there anymore. Looking at group_sched_in(), since the BP is the leader, its event_sched_in() must have succeeded, for otherwise we would not have seen the sibling adds. But since neither 0 or 4 are in the below state; their event_sched_in() must have failed; but I don't see why, the complete state: 0,0,1:p,4 fits perfectly fine on a core2. However, since we try and schedule 4 it means the 0 event must have succeeded! Therefore the 4 event must have failed, its failure will have put group_sched_in() into the fail path, which will call: event_sched_out() event->pmu->del() on 0 and the BP event. Now x86_pmu_del() will reduce n_events; but it will not reduce n_added; giving what we see below: n_event = 2, n_added = 2, n_txn = 2 > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926177: x86_pmu_enable: x86_pmu_enable > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926177: x86_pmu_state: Events: { > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926179: x86_pmu_state: 0: state: .R config: ffffffffffffffff ( (null)) > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926181: x86_pmu_state: 33: state: AR config: 0 (ffff88011ac99800) > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926182: x86_pmu_state: } > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926184: x86_pmu_state: n_events: 2, n_added: 2, n_txn: 2 > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926184: x86_pmu_state: Assignment: { > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926186: x86_pmu_state: 0->33 tag: 1 config: 0 (ffff88011ac99800) > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926188: x86_pmu_state: 1->0 tag: 1 config: 1 (ffff880119ec8800) > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926188: x86_pmu_state: } > pec_1076_warn-2804 [000] d... 147.926190: x86_pmu_enable: S0: hwc->idx: 33, hwc->last_cpu: 0, hwc->last_tag: 1 hwc->state: 0 So the problem is that x86_pmu_del(), when called from a group_sched_in() that fails (for whatever reason), and without x86_pmu TXN support (because the leader is !x86_pmu), will corrupt the n_added state.

This patch updates the CBOX PMU filters mapping tables for SNB-EP and IVT (model 45 and 62 respectively). The NID umask always comes in addition to another umask. When set, the NID filter is applied. The current mapping tables were missing some code/umask combinations to account for the NID umask. This patch fixes that.

When the conversion was made to remove stop machine and use the breakpoint logic instead, the modification of the function graph caller is still done directly as though it was being done under stop machine. As it is not converted via stop machine anymore, there is a possibility that the code could be layed across cache lines and if another CPU is accessing that function graph call when it is being updated, it could cause a General Protection Fault. Convert the update of the function graph caller to use the breakpoint method as well. Cc: H.

When debug preempt is enabled, preempt_disable() can be traced by function and function graph tracing. There's a place in the function graph tracer that calls trace_clock() which eventually calls cycles_2_ns() outside of the recursion protection. When cycles_2_ns() calls preempt_disable() it gets traced and the graph tracer will go into a recursive loop causing a crash or worse, a triple fault. Simple fix is to use preempt_disable_notrace() in cycles_2_ns, which makes sense because the preempt_disable() tracing may use that code too, and it tracing it, even with recursion protection is rather pointless.

This assumes that gcc always generates static function names in a specific format, which is not necessarily true. Simply make these functions global and asmlinkage or __visible.

When Hyper-V hypervisor leaves are present, KVM must relocate its own leaves at 0x40000100, because Windows does not look for Hyper-V leaves at indices other than 0x40000000. In this case, the KVM features are at 0x40000101, but the old code would always look at 0x40000001. Fix by using kvm_cpuid_base().

Dave reported big numa system booting is broken. It turns out that commit 5b6e5295 ("x86: memblock: set current limit to max low memory address") sets the limit to low wrongly. max_low_pfn_mapped is different from max_pfn_mapped. max_low_pfn_mapped is always under 4G. That will memblock_alloc_nid all go under 4G. Revert 5b6e5295 to fix a no-boot regression which was triggered by 457ff1de ("lib/swiotlb.c: use memblock apis for early memory allocations").

There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86). The problem was related to the tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered. The problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values is unclear. This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited if any regression is found as a result of this change. IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology determined that the value of 2 is acceptable. Details are in the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift for IvyBridge". One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen. The original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen. It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare metal typically do.

There was a large performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86"). This patch simply changes the default balance point between a local and global flush for IvyBridge. In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__tlbflush-performance configs/config-global-dhp__scheduler-performance configs/config-global-dhp__network-performance Results are from two machines Ivybridge 4 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz Ivybridge 8 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Page fault microbenchmark showed nothing interesting. Ebizzy was configured to run multiple iterations and threads. Thread counts ranged from 1 to NR_CPUS*2. For each thread count, it ran 100 iterations and each iteration lasted 10 seconds.

The patch addresses the problem. Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected within that section. iteration 1, random number between 0-64 iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges and an even spread is not representative of any workload that matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it would not account for the time between flushes but there are limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering with the test results recently. Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine. These results were unstable and showed large variations between reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary. Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems like a logical choice.

The workaround for this Erratum is included in AGESA. But BIOSes spun only after Jan2014 will have the fix (atleast server versions of the chip). The erratum affects both embedded and server platforms and since we cannot say with certainity that ALL BIOSes on systems out in the field will have the fix, we should probably insulate ourselves in case BIOS does not do the right thing or someone is using old BIOSes. Refer to Revision Guide for AMD F16h models 00h-0fh, document 51810 Rev. 3.04, November2013 for details on the Erratum. Tested the patch on Fam16h server platform and it works fine.

On AMD family 10h we see following error messages while waking up from S3 for all non-boot CPUs leading to a failed IBS initialization: Enabling non-boot CPUs ... smpboot: Booting Node 0 Processor 1 APIC 0x1 [Firmware Bug]: cpu 1, try to use APIC500 (LVT offset 0) for vector 0x400, but the register is already in use for vector 0xf9 on another cpu perf: IBS APIC setup failed on cpu #1 process: Switch to broadcast mode on CPU1 CPU1 is up ... ACPI: Waking up from system sleep state S3 Reason for this is that during suspend the LVT offset for the IBS vector gets lost and needs to be reinialized while resuming. The offset is read from the IBSCTL msr. On family 10h the offset needs to be 1 as offset 0 is used for the MCE threshold interrupt, but firmware assings it for IBS to 0 too. The kernel needs to reprogram the vector. The msr is a readonly node msr, but a new value can be written via pci config space access. The reinitialization is implemented for family 10h in setup_ibs_ctl() which is forced during IBS setup. This patch fixes IBS setup after waking up from S3 by adding resume/supend hooks for the boot cpu which does the offset reinitialization. Marking it as stable to let distros pick up this fix.

On SoCs that have the calibration MSRs available, either there is no PIT, HPET or PMTIMER to calibrate against, or the PIT/HPET/PMTIMER is driven from the same clock as the TSC, so calibration is redundant and just slows down the boot. TSC rate is caculated by this formula: <maximum core-clock to bus-clock ratio> * <maximum resolved frequency> The ratio and the resolved frequency ID can be obtained from MSR.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64791 When a cpu is downed on a system, the irqs on the cpu are assigned to other cpus. It is possible, however, that when a cpu is downed there aren't enough free vectors on the remaining cpus to account for the vectors from the cpu that is being downed. This results in an interesting "overflow" condition where irqs are "assigned" to a CPU but are not handled.

If the downed cpu has more vectors than are free on the remaining cpus on the system, it is possible that some vectors are "orphaned" even though they are assigned to a cpu. In this case, since the ixgbe driver had a watchdog, the watchdog fired and notified that something was wrong. This patch adds a function, check_vectors(), to compare the number of vectors on the CPU going down and compares it to the number of vectors available on the system. If there aren't enough vectors for the CPU to go down, an error is returned and propogated back to userspace. v2: Do not need to look at percpu irqs v3: Need to check affinity to prevent counting of MSIs in IOAPIC Lowest Priority Mode v4: Additional changes suggested by Gong Chen. v5/v6/v7/v8: Updated comment text Signed-off-by: NPrarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1389613861-3853-1-git-send-email-prarit@redhat.comReviewed-by: NGong Chen <gong.chen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Seiji Aguchi <seiji.aguchi@hds.com> Cc: Yang Zhang <yang.z.zhang@Intel.com> Cc: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Janet Morgan <janet.morgan@intel.com> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Ruiv Wang <ruiv.wang@gmail.com> Cc: Gong Chen <gong.chen@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

Add disable_cpu_apicid kernel parameter. To use this kernel parameter, specify an initial APIC ID of the corresponding CPU you want to disable. This is mostly used for the kdump 2nd kernel to disable BSP to wake up multiple CPUs without causing system reset or hang due to sending INIT from AP to BSP. Kdump users first figure out initial APIC ID of the BSP, CPU0 in the 1st kernel, for example from /proc/cpuinfo and then set up this kernel parameter for the 2nd kernel using the obtained APIC ID. However, doing this procedure at each boot time manually is awkward, which should be automatically done by user-land service scripts, for example, kexec-tools on fedora/RHEL distributions. This design is more flexible than disabling BSP in kernel boot time automatically in that in kernel boot time we have no choice but referring to ACPI/MP table to obtain initial APIC ID for BSP, meaning that the method is not applicable to the systems without such BIOS tables. One assumption behind this design is that users get initial APIC ID of the BSP in still healthy state and so BSP is uniquely kept in CPU0. Thus, through the kernel parameter, only one initial APIC ID can be specified. In a comparison with disabled_cpu_apicid, we use read_apic_id(), not boot_cpu_physical_apicid, because on some platforms, the variable is modified to the apicid reported as BSP through MP table and this function is executed with the temporarily modified boot_cpu_physical_apicid. As a result, disabled_cpu_apicid kernel parameter doesn't work well for apicids of APs. Fixing the wrong handling of boot_cpu_physical_apicid requires some reviews and tests beyond some platforms and it could take some time. The fix here is a kind of workaround to focus on the main topic of this patch.

Having u32 and struct cpuinfo_x86 * by the same name is not very smart, although it was ok in this case due to the limited scope of u32 c and it being used only once in there. Fix this.

This adds the workaround for erratum 793 as a precaution in case not every BIOS implements it. This addresses CVE-2013-6885. Erratum text: [Revision Guide for AMD Family 16h Models 00h-0Fh Processors, document 51810 Rev. 3.04 November 2013] 793 Specific Combination of Writes to Write Combined Memory Types and Locked Instructions May Cause Core Hang Description Under a highly specific and detailed set of internal timing conditions, a locked instruction may trigger a timing sequence whereby the write to a write combined memory type is not flushed, causing the locked instruction to stall indefinitely. Potential Effect on System Processor core hang. Suggested Workaround BIOS should set MSR C001_1020[15] = 1b.

Currently we do a read, a dummy write and a final read to fetch the error code. The value from the final read is taken. This is not the recommended way and leads to corrupted/lost ESR values. Intel(c) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual, Combined Volumes 1, 2ABC, 3ABC, Section 10.5.3 states: Before attempt to read from the ESR, software should first write to it. (The value written does not affect the values read subsequently; only zero may be written in x2APIC mode.) This write clears any previously logged errors and updates the ESR with any errors detected since the last write to the ESR. This write also rearms the APIC error interrupt triggering mechanism. This patch removes the first read such that we are conform with the manual. On my (very old) Pentium MMX SMP system this patch fixes the issue that APIC errors: a) are not always reported and b) are reported with false error numbers.

We've grown a bunch of microcode loader files all prefixed with "microcode_". They should be under cpu/ because this is strictly CPU-related functionality so do that and drop the prefix since they're in their own directory now which gives that prefix. :) While at it, drop MICROCODE_INTEL_LIB config item and stash the functionality under CONFIG_MICROCODE_INTEL as it was its only user.
