Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched: x86: Use generic idle loop (7d1a9417) This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms to experience a significant increase in idle power. Note that this issue was already present before the commit above, however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements. Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington" to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms. While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle may also run on these two newer systems. As of today, there are no other models that are known to need this tweak.

struct cpu_dev's c_models is only ever set inside CONFIG_X86_32 conditionals (or code that's being built for 32-bit only), so there's no use of reserving the (empty) space for the model names in a 64-bit kernel. Similarly, c_size_cache is only used in the #else of a CONFIG_X86_64 conditional, so reserving space for (and in one case even initializing) that field is pointless for 64-bit kernels too. While moving both fields to the end of the structure, I also noticed that: - the c_models array size was one too small, potentially causing table_lookup_model() to return garbage on Intel CPUs (intel.c's instance was lacking the sentinel with family being zero), so the patch bumps that by one, - c_models' vendor sub-field was unused (and anyway redundant with the base structure's c_x86_vendor field), so the patch deletes it. Also rename the legacy fields so that their legacy nature stands out and comment their declarations.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only. This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel base offset, if it has been relocated. We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or not. Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to be very specific. This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs, but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5 processors.

When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol. I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol. In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol()) instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).

For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions. For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB and 1GB. Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number. This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB optimizing. Accroding Borislav's suggestion, except tlb_ll[i/d]_* array, other function and data will be released after system boot up.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the !SMP case, likely to save space. However, those fields still have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef removal from other files. The additional size of the UP kernel from this change is not significant enough to worry about keeping up the distinction: text data bss dec hex filename 4737168 506459 972040 6215667 5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before 4737444 506459 972040 6215943 5ed907 vmlinux.o.after for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode" field to /proc/cpuinfo. The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks together with the other CPUID model information. I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver, it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode is updated it fills in the new values too. I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it being optimized away when the result is not used. This turns out to clean up further code which already got this information manually.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo, Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS. However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems... Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8). As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency. While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default operating point is "normal" mode... Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot. x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot, should the user have a different preference.

For now, on 32bit, x86_cpu_to_node_map is initialized with 0 instead of NUMA_NO_NODE. This is to avoid introducing unexpected behavior change and will be updated once init path is unified. * srat_detect_node() is now enabled for x86_32 too.

The mapping between cpu/apicid and node is done via apicid_to_node[] on 64bit and apicid_2_node[] + apic->x86_32_numa_cpu_node() on 32bit. This difference makes it difficult to further unify 32 and 64bit NUMA handling. This patch unifies it by replacing both apicid_to_node[] and apicid_2_node[] with __apicid_to_node[] array, which is accessed by two accessors - set_apicid_to_node() and numa_cpu_node(). On 64bit, numa_cpu_node() always consults __apicid_to_node[] directly while 32bit goes through apic->numa_cpu_node() method to allow apic implementations to override it. srat_detect_node() for amd cpus contains workaround for broken NUMA configuration which assumes relationship between APIC ID, HT node ID and NUMA topology. Leave it to access __apicid_to_node[] directly as mapping through CPU might result in undesirable behavior change. The comment is reformatted and updated to note the ugliness.

commit d9c2d5ac "x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA" changed NUMA initialization on Intel to choose the nearest online node or first node. Fake NUMA would be better of with round-robin initialization, instead of the all CPUS on first node. Change the choice of first node, back to round-robin. For testing NUMA kernel behaviour without cpusets and NUMA aware applications, it would be better to have cpus in different nodes, rather than all in a single node. With cpusets migration of tasks scenarios cannot not be tested. I guess having it round-robin shouldn't affect the use cases for all cpus on the first node. The code comments in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c:759 indicate that this used to be the case, which was changed by commit d9c2d5ac. It changed from roundrobin to nearer or first node.

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41: "If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses."

On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades. The sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go backwards (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching between cpus. As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the sched_clock_stable flag true. When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0). After this, early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes up. Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable.

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable. But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console. It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take about 84 minutes to clear the serial port. This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages which contain no additional information. Much of this information is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to a problem. The new cpu bootup sequence for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING: Booting Node 0, Processors #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok. Booting Node 1, Processors #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok. ...

CPU to node mapping is set via the following sequence: 1. numa_init_array(): Set up roundrobin from cpu to online node 2. init_cpu_to_node(): Set that according to apicid_to_node[] according to srat only handle the node that is online, and leave other cpu on node without ram (aka not online) to still roundrobin. 3. later call srat_detect_node for Intel/AMD, will use first_online node or nearby node. Problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is not called between 2 and 3, the per_cpu for cpu on node with ram is on different node, and could put that on node with two hops away. So try to optimize this and add find_near_online_node() and call init_cpu_to_node().

The hooks that we modify are: - Page fault handler (to handle kmemcheck faults) - Debug exception handler (to hide pages after single-stepping the instruction that caused the page fault) Also redefine memset() to use the optimized version if kmemcheck is enabled. (Thanks to Pekka Enberg for minimizing the impact on the page fault handler.) As kmemcheck doesn't handle MMX/SSE instructions (yet), we also disable the optimized xor code, and rely instead on the generic C implementation in order to avoid false-positive warnings.

Impact: 32/64-bit consolidation In a first step, this allows fixing phys_addr_valid() for PAE (which until now reported all addresses to be valid). Subsequently, this will also allow simplifying some MTRR handling code.

Impact: cleanup and code size reduction on 64-bit This code is only applied to Intel Pentium and AMD K7 32-bit cpus. Move those checks to intel_init()/amd_init() for 32-bit so 64-bit will not build this code. Also change to use cpu_index check to see if we need to emit warning.
