This patch moves the UV NMI support from the x2apic file to a new separate uv_nmi.c file in preparation for the next sequence of patches. It prevents upcoming bloat of the x2apic file, and has the added benefit of putting the upcoming /sys/module parameters under the name 'uv_nmi' instead of 'x2apic_uv_x', which was obscure.

The flush tlb optimization code has logical issue on UV platform. It doesn't flush the full range at all, since it simply ignores its 'end' parameter (and hence also the "all" indicator) in uv_flush_tlb_others() function. Cliff's notes: | I tested the patch on a UV. It has the effect of either | clearing 1 or all TLBs in a cpu. I added some debugging to | test for the cases when clearing all TLBs is overkill, and in | practice it happens very seldom.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later remain TLB lines accessing. But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU. So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at: (512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) = X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost) Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries. But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And 2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries. Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any suggestions are welcomed. As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now. My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70 percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel. Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP 'always': multi thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number: with patch unpatched 3.4-rc4 ./mprotect -t 1 14ns 24ns ./mprotect -t 2 13ns 22ns ./mprotect -t 4 12ns 19ns ./mprotect -t 8 14ns 16ns ./mprotect -t 16 28ns 26ns ./mprotect -t 32 54ns 51ns ./mprotect -t 128 200ns 199ns Single process with sequencial flushing and memory accessing: with patch unpatched 3.4-rc4 ./mprotect 7ns 11ns ./mprotect -p 4096 -l 8 -n 10240 21ns 21ns [ hpa: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1B4B44D9196EFF41AE41FDA404FC0A100BFF94@SHSMSX101.ccr.corp.intel.com has additional performance numbers. ] Signed-off-by: NAlex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340845344-27557-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.comSigned-off-by: NH.

Enable NMI on all cpus in UV system and add an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu. By default on x86 all the cpus except the boot cpu have NMI masked off. This patch enables NMI on all cpus in UV system and adds an NMI handler to dump_stack on each cpu. This way if a system hangs we can NMI the machine and get a backtrace from all the cpus. Version 2: Use x86_platform driver mechanism for nmi init, per Ingo's suggestion. Version 3: Clean up Ingo's nits.

Impact: cleanup x86_quirks->update_apic() calling looks crazy. so try to remove it: 1. every apic take wakeup_cpu member directly 2. separate es7000_apic to es7000_apic_cluster 3. use uv_wakeup_cpu directly Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: cleanup Make the following uv related cleanups. * collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h and use it. this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest undefined. after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on 32. * update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed in parameter. this interface change will ease dummy implementation of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff defined in tlb_uv proper.
