      exit_thread: accept a task parameter to be exited · e6464694
      由 Jiri Slaby 提交于 
      We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path.  So make it
accept task_struct as a parameter.

[v2]
* s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for
  non-current tasks.
* arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy
* change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct
* now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread

      locking/x86: Use mb() around clflush() · ca59809f

      The following commit:

  f8e617f4 ("sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs")

adds memory barriers around clflush(), but this seems wrong for UP since
barrier() has no effect on clflush().  We really want MFENCE, so switch
to mb() instead.

      x86/fpu: Synchronize the naming of drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() · 50338615
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() are similar in functionality
and in scope, yet this is not apparent from their names.

drop_fpu() deactivates FPU contents (both the fpregs and the fpstate),
but leaves register contents intact in the eager-FPU case, mostly as an
optimization. It disables fpregs in the lazy FPU case. The drop_fpu()
method can be used to destroy FPU state in an optimized way, when we
know that a new state will be loaded before user-space might see
any remains of the old FPU state:

     - such as in sys_exit()'s exit_thread() where we know this task
       won't execute any user-space instructions anymore and the
       next context switch cleans up the FPU. The old FPU state
       might still be around in the eagerfpu case but won't be
       saved.

     - in __restore_xstate_sig(), where we use drop_fpu() before
       copying a new state into the fpstate and activating that one.
       No user-pace instructions can execute between those steps.

     - in sys_execve()'s fpu__clear(): there we use drop_fpu() in
       the !eagerfpu case, where it's equivalent to a full reinit.

fpu_reset_state() is a stronger version of drop_fpu(): both in
the eagerfpu and the lazy-FPU case it guarantees that fpregs
are reinitialized to init state. This method is used in cases
where we need a full reset:

     - handle_signal() uses fpu_reset_state() to reset the FPU state
       to init before executing a user-space signal handler. While we
       have already saved the original FPU state at this point, and
       always restore the original state, the signal handling code
       still has to do this reinit, because signals may interrupt
       any user-space instruction, and the FPU might be in various
       intermediate states (such as an unbalanced x87 stack) that is
       not immediately usable for general C signal handler code.

     - __restore_xstate_sig() uses fpu_reset_state() when the signal
       frame has no FP context. Since the signal handler may have
       modified the FPU state, it gets reset back to init state.

     - in another branch __restore_xstate_sig() uses fpu_reset_state()
       to handle a restoration error: when restore_user_xstate() fails
       to restore FPU state and we might have inconsistent FPU data,
       fpu_reset_state() is used to reset it back to a known good
       state.

     - __kernel_fpu_end() uses fpu_reset_state() in an error branch.
       This is in a 'must not trigger' error branch, so on bug-free
       kernels this never triggers.

     - fpu__restore() uses fpu_reset_state() in an error path
       as well: if the fpstate was set up with invalid FPU state
       (via ptrace or via a signal handler), then it's reset back
       to init state.

     - likewise, the scheduler's switch_fpu_finish() uses it in a
       restoration error path too.

Move both drop_fpu() and fpu_reset_state() to the fpu__*() namespace
and harmonize their naming with their function:

    fpu__drop()
    fpu__reset()

This clearly shows that both methods operate on the full state of the
FPU, just like fpu__restore().

Also add comments to explain what each function does.

      Now that we always allocate the FPU context as part of task_struct there's
no need for separate allocations - remove them and their primary failure
handling code.

( Note that there's still secondary error codes that have become superfluous,
  those will be removed in separate patches. )

Move the somewhat misplaced setup_xstate_comp() call to the core.

      x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h · 78f7f1e5

 - asm/fpu/types.h:      FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct',
                         widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept
                         as small as possible.

 - asm/fpu/api.h:        FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems.

 - asm/fpu/internal.h:   FPU subsystem internal methods

 - asm/fpu/xsave.h:      XSAVE support internal methods

(Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

and since this is a slowpath clarity comes first anyway.

We can reconsider inlining decisions after the FPU code has been cleaned up.

      sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs · f8e617f4
      由 Mike Galbraith 提交于 
      To fully take advantage of MWAIT, apparently the CLFLUSH instruction needs
another quirk on certain CPUs: proper barriers around it on certain machines.

On a Q6600 SMP system, pipe-test scheduling performance, cross core,
improves significantly:

  3.8.13                   487.2 KHz    1.000
  3.13.0-master            415.5 KHz     .852
  3.13.0-master+           415.2 KHz     .852     + restore mwait_idle
  3.13.0-master++          488.5 KHz    1.002     + restore mwait_idle + IPI fix

Since X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR is already a quirk, don't create a separate
quirk for the extra smp_mb()s.

      sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance

In Linux-3.9 we removed the mwait_idle() loop:

  69fb3676 ("x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param")

The reasoning was that modern machines should be sufficiently
happy during the boot process using the default_idle() HALT
loop, until cpuidle loads and either acpi_idle or intel_idle
invoke the newer MWAIT-with-hints idle loop.

But two machines reported problems:

 1. Certain Core2-era machines support MWAIT-C1 and HALT only.
    MWAIT-C1 is preferred for optimal power and performance.
    But if they support just C1, cpuidle never loads and
    so they use the boot-time default idle loop forever.

 2. Some laptops will boot-hang if HALT is used,
    but will boot successfully if MWAIT is used.
    This appears to be a hidden assumption in BIOS SMI,
    that is presumably valid on the proprietary OS
    where the BIOS was validated.

       https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60770

So here we effectively revert the patch above, restoring
the mwait_idle() loop.  However, we don't bother restoring
the idle=mwait cmdline parameter, since it appears to add
no value.

Maintainer notes:

  For 3.9, simply revert 69fb3676
  for 3.10, patch -F3 applies, fuzz needed due to __cpuinit use in
  context For 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, this patch applies cleanly
