      x86: Fix build with older binutils and consolidate linker script · c62e4320
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible
      situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but
      that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and
      perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment.
      
      However, the current ordering of sections really just appears
      to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering
      things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following
      the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need
      for the bogus data.init2 segment.
      
      Once touching this code, also use the various data section
      helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

      x86: don't call '->send_IPI_mask()' with an empty mask · b04e6373
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      As noted in 83d349f3 ("x86: don't send
      an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy
      with an empty destination mask.  That commit added a WARN_ON() for that
      case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying
      reason for why those empty mask cases happened.
      
      This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the
      current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be
      sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is
      empty.
      
      The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just
      the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f962 ("x86: change
      flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that,
      the cpumask was no longer thread-local.
      
      Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of
      'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush
      routines after having tested that it was not empty.  But after changing
      it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush
      routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that
      could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other
      CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.
      
      See

      x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's · 83d349f3
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The default_send_IPI_mask_logical() function uses the "flat" APIC mode
      to send an IPI to a set of CPU's at once, but if that set happens to be
      empty, some older local APIC's will apparently be rather unhappy.  So
      just warn if a caller gives us an empty mask, and ignore it.
      
      This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.x, due to commit 4595f962 ("x86:
      change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), documented
      here:
      
      	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933
      
      which causes a silent lock-up.  It only seems to happen on PPro, P2, P3
      and Athlon XP cores.  Most developers sadly (or not so sadly, if you're
      a developer..) have more modern CPU's.  Also, on x86-64 we don't use the
      flat APIC mode, so it would never trigger there even if the APIC didn't
      like sending an empty IPI mask.

      clockevent: Prevent dead lock on clockevents_lock · f833bab8
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
      some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
      
      This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
      
      cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
      cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
      cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
      
      This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
      for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
      reaching the rendezvous point.
      
      Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
      interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
      
      Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
      that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
      chain.
      
      This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
      logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
      a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
      which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

      PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
      fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).
      
      But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
      as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
      WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
      4k page).
      
      Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
      checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
      satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
      range.

      x86, mce: Don't initialize MCEs on unknown CPUs · e412cd25
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      An older test-box started hanging at the following point during
      bootup:
      
       [    0.022996] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
       [    0.024996] Initializing cgroup subsys debug

       [    0.027995] Initializing cgroup subsys freezer
       [    0.028995] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks
      
      I've bisected it down to commit 4efc0670 ("x86, mce: use 64bit
      machine check code on 32bit"), which utilizes the MCE code on
      32-bit systems too.
      
      The problem is caused by this detail in my config:
      
        # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set
      
      This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables
      MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk
      workaround needed on this CPU:
      
      	if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0)
      		mce_banks[0].init = 0;
      
      The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on
      what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got
      disabled in the config).
      
      Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a
      boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system
      that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as
      well.
      
      Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU
      support is rare - but still being more defensive in something
      we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

      perf_counter, x86: Fix/improve apic fallback · 04da8a43
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
      laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
      and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.
      
      Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
      and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
      'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
      and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
      method.
      
      ( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
        sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
        permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
        allows more systems to use perfcounters. )
      
      Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.

      x86: Fix oops in identify_cpu() on CPUs without CPUID · e8055139
      Ondrej Zary 提交于
      Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It
      crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu():
      
      766        generic_identify(c);
      767
      768-->     if (this_cpu->c_identify)
      769               this_cpu->c_identify(c);
      
      this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in
      get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has
      no CPUID instruction.

      x86: Clear incorrectly forced X86_FEATURE_LAHF_LM flag · fbd8b181
      Kevin Winchester 提交于
      Due to an erratum with certain AMD Athlon 64 processors, the
      BIOS may need to force enable the LAHF_LM capability.
      Unfortunately, in at least one case, the BIOS does this even
      for processors that do not support the functionality.
      
      Add a specific check that will clear the feature bit for
      processors known not to support the LAHF/SAHF instructions.

      perf_counter, x86: Fix generic cache events on P6-mobile CPUs · f64ccccb
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Johannes Stezenbach reported that 'perf stat' does not count
      cache-miss and cache-references events on his Pentium-M based
      laptop.
      
      This is because we left them blank in p6_perfmon_event_map[],
      fill them in.

      x86, mce: therm_throt - change when we print messages · 0d01f314
      Dmitry Torokhov 提交于
      My Latitude d630 seems to be handling thermal events in SMI by
      lowering the max frequency of the CPU till it cools down but
      still leaks the "everything is normal" events.
      
      This spams the console and with high priority printks.
      
      Adjust therm_throt driver to only print messages about the fact
      that temperatire returned back to normal when leaving the
      throttling state.
      
      Also lower the severity of "back to normal" message from
      KERN_CRIT to KERN_INFO.

      Reboot does not work on my MacBook Pro 13 inch (MacBookPro5,5)

      PCI reboot handling, i guess.

      x86: Fix serialization in pit_expect_msb() · b6e61eef
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:
      
      | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
      | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
      | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
      | section.
      
      I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
      that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
      serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
      the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
      counter was read without proper serialization.
      
      The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
      _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
      the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.
      
      So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
      that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
      final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.
      
      In other words:
      
       - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
         iteration, rather than in every iteration
      
       - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
         serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.
      
      Here's a suggested replacement.

      Update that to online_mask like xapic.
