      x86: Keep thread_info on thread stack in x86_32 · 198d208d
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.

x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.

Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

      x86/cpu: Track legacy CPU model data only on 32-bit kernels · 09dc68d9
      由 Jan Beulich 提交于 
      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.

      x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files · 148f9bb8
      由 Paul Gortmaker 提交于 
      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.

      x86, trace: Add irq vector tracepoints · cf910e83
      由 Seiji Aguchi 提交于 
      [Purpose of this patch]

As Vaibhav explained in the thread below, tracepoints for irq vectors
are useful.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/mm-commits/msg85707.html

<snip>
The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled.  They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.

There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers.  Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.

The trace also tells where the system is spending its time.  We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system.  Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
<snip>

On the other hand, my usecase is tracing just local timer event and
getting a value of instruction pointer.

I suggested to add an argument local timer event to get instruction pointer before.
But there is another way to get it with external module like systemtap.
So, I don't need to add any argument to irq vector tracepoints now.

[Patch Description]

Vaibhav's patch shared a trace point ,irq_vector_entry/irq_vector_exit, in all events.
But there is an above use case to trace specific irq_vector rather than tracing all events.
In this case, we are concerned about overhead due to unwanted events.

So, add following tracepoints instead of introducing irq_vector_entry/exit.
so that we can enable them independently.
   - local_timer_vector
   - reschedule_vector
   - call_function_vector
   - call_function_single_vector
   - irq_work_entry_vector
   - error_apic_vector
   - thermal_apic_vector
   - threshold_apic_vector
   - spurious_apic_vector
   - x86_platform_ipi_vector

Also, introduce a logic switching IDT at enabling/disabling time so that a time penalty
makes a zero when tracepoints are disabled. Detailed explanations are as follows.
 - Create trace irq handlers with entering_irq()/exiting_irq().
 - Create a new IDT, trace_idt_table, at boot time by adding a logic to
   _set_gate(). It is just a copy of original idt table.
 - Register the new handlers for tracpoints to the new IDT by introducing
   macros to alloc_intr_gate() called at registering time of irq_vector handlers.
 - Add checking, whether irq vector tracing is on/off, into load_current_idt().
   This has to be done below debug checking for these reasons.
   - Switching to debug IDT may be kicked while tracing is enabled.
   - On the other hands, switching to trace IDT is kicked only when debugging
     is disabled.

In addition, the new IDT is created only when CONFIG_TRACING is enabled to avoid being
used for other purposes.

      x86: Sanity-check static_cpu_has usage · 5700f743
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      static_cpu_has may be used only after alternatives have run. Before that
it always returns false if constant folding with __builtin_constant_p()
doesn't happen. And you don't want that.

This patch is the result of me debugging an issue where I overzealously
put static_cpu_has in code which executed before alternatives have run
and had to spend some time with scratching head and cursing at the
monitor.

So add a jump to a warning which screams loudly when we use this
function too early. The alternatives patch that check away in
conjunction with patching the rest of the kernel image.

[ hpa: factored this into its own configuration option.  If we want to
  have an overarching option, it should be an option which selects
  other options, not as a group option in the source code. ]

      x86, smep, smap: Make the switching functions one-way · b2cc2a07
      由 H. Peter Anvin 提交于 
      There is no fundamental reason why we should switch SMEP and SMAP on
during early cpu initialization just to switch them off again.  Now
with %eflags and %cr4 forced to be initialized to a clean state, we
only need the one-way enable.  Also, make the functions inline to make
them (somewhat) harder to abuse.

This does mean that SMEP and SMAP do not get initialized anywhere near
as early.  Even using early_param() instead of __setup() doesn't give
us control early enough to do this during the early cpu initialization
phase.  This seems reasonable to me, because SMEP and SMAP should not
matter until we have userspace to protect ourselves from, but it does
potentially make it possible for a bug involving a "leak of
permissions to userspace" to get uncaught.

This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance
to set different shift for different CPU type.

like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on
Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on
IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing
help.

For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU.

      x86/tlb_info: get last level TLB entry number of CPU · e0ba94f1
      由 Alex Shi 提交于 
      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.

For all kinds of x86 vendor friendly, vendor specific code was moved to its
specific files.

      x86: Allow nesting of the debug stack IDT setting · f8988175
      由 Steven Rostedt 提交于 
      When the NMI handler runs, it checks if it preempted a debug handler
and if that handler is using the debug stack. If it is, it changes the
IDT table not to update the stack, otherwise it will reset the debug
stack and corrupt the debug handler it preempted.

Now that ftrace uses breakpoints to change functions from nops to
callers, many more places may hit a breakpoint. Unfortunately this
includes some of the calls that lockdep performs. Which causes issues
with the debug stack. It too needs to change the debug stack before
tracing (if called from the debug handler).

Allow the debug_stack_set_zero() and debug_stack_reset() to be nested
so that the debug handlers can take advantage of them too.

      Since we already have a debugreg.h header file, move the
assoc. get/set functions to it.  In addition to it being the
logical home for them, it has a secondary advantage.  The
functions that are moved use BUG().  So we really need to
have linux/bug.h in scope.  But asm/processor.h is used about
600 times, vs. only about 15 for debugreg.h -- so adding bug.h
to the latter reduces the amount of time we'll be processing
it during a compile.
