This patch unifies struct desc_ptr between i386 and x86_64. They can be expressed in the exact same way in C code, only having to change the name of one of them. As Xgt_desc_struct is ugly and big, this is the one that goes away. There's also a padding field in i386, but it is not really needed in the C structure definition.

This patch aims to make the access of struct desc_struct variables equal across architectures. In this patch, I unify the i386 and x86_64 versions under an anonymous union, keeping the way they are accessed untouched (a and b for 32-bit code, individual bit-fields for 64-bit). This solution is not beautiful, but will allow us to integrate common code that differed by the way descriptors were used. This is to be viewed incrementally. There's simply too much code to be fixed at once. In the future, goal is to set up in a single way of acessing the desc_struct fields.

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by: NH.

Googling for the printk string "CPU: Rise iDragon" didn't find any dmesg available online. If it turns out that against all expectations there are actually users reverting this patch would be easy.

Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via the %fs register. An ELF section is more flexible than a structure, allowing any piece of code to use this area. Indeed, such a section already exists: the per-cpu area. So this patch: (1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member. (2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU. (3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables. (4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first percpu area is allocated (or never for UP). The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept.

identify_cpu() is used to identify both the boot CPU and secondary CPUs, but it performs some actions which only apply to the boot CPU. Those functions are therefore really __init functions, but because they're called by identify_cpu(), they must be marked __cpuinit. This patch splits identify_cpu() into identify_boot_cpu() and identify_secondary_cpu(), and calls the appropriate init functions from each. Also, identify_boot_cpu() and all the functions it dominates are marked __init. Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Now we have an explicit per-cpu GDT variable, we don't need to keep the descriptors around to use them to find the GDT: expose cpu_gdt directly.

Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the "cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the per-cpu GDT. This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C. The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated. For secondary CPUs, the early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy. For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP, but we never have to move.

Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is). On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable. Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much. This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to match the changed struct pt_regs.

由 James Bottomley 提交于
The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA, the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA. The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so voyager currently won't boot without this. The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related changes: 1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with __KERNEL_PDA. 2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register state can be accessed. Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space). 3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the register state in a signal context. 4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's __KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA. This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and current use the PDA. In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code, so the PDA is always available.

Jesper Juhl reported that testing the software math-emulation by forcing "no387" doesn't work on modern CPU's. The reason was two-fold: - you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the modern XMM/FXSR sequences - "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately, leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to the identify_cpu() stage. This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.
