xsaveopt is a more optimized form of xsave specifically designed for the context switch usage. xsaveopt doesn't save the state that's not modified from the prior xrstor. And if a specific feature state gets modified to the init state, then xsaveopt just updates the header bit in the xsave memory layout without updating the corresponding memory layout.

The fpu code currently uses current->thread_info->status & TS_XSAVE as a way to distinguish between XSAVE capable processors and older processors. The decision is not really task specific; instead we use the task status to avoid a global memory reference - the value should be the same across all threads. Eliminate this tie-in into the task structure by using an alternative instruction keyed off the XSAVE cpu feature; this results in shorter and faster code, without introducing a global memory reference.

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 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is available. Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for the available of NX. This patch: a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left to the head code. b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely. Things that need to test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly, and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX. Signed-off-by: NH.

On platforms where the BIOS handles the thermal monitor interrupt, APIC_LVTTHMR on each logical CPU is programmed to generate a SMI and OS must not touch it. Unfortunately AP bringup sequence using INIT-SIPI-SIPI clears all the LVT entries except the mask bit. Essentially this results in all LVT entries including the thermal monitoring interrupt set to masked (clearing the bios programmed value for APIC_LVTTHMR). And this leads to kernel take over the thermal monitoring interrupt on AP's but not on BSP (leaving the bios programmed value only on BSP). As a result of this, we have seen system hangs when the thermal monitoring interrupt is generated. Fix this by reading the initial value of thermal LVT entry on BSP and if bios has taken over the control, then program the same value on all AP's and leave the thermal monitoring interrupt control on all the logical cpu's to the bios.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: NStephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: NArjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says: In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero segment base will cause load and store operations to experience a delay. - If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles. [...] Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality) For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0 whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost. We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector segment, but we can make it cache-aligned.

On x86_64, percpu variables current_task and kernel_stack are used for get_current() and current_thread_info() respectively and thus are often used close to each other. Move definition of current_task to kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline. Two percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline. For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to kernel/cpu/common.c. Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was suggested by Linus Torvalds.

This reverts commit 95ee14e4. Mikael Petterson <mikepe@it.uu.se> reported that at least one of his systems will not boot as a result. We have ruled out the detection algorithm malfunctioning, so it is not a matter of producing the incorrect bitmasks; rather, something in the application of them fails. Revert the commit until we can root cause and correct this problem. -stable team: this means the underlying commit should be rejected.

The espfix code triggers if we have a protected mode userspace application with a 16-bit stack. On returning to userspace, with iret, the CPU doesn't restore the high word of the stack pointer. This is an "official" bug, and the work-around used in the kernel is to temporarily switch to a 32-bit stack segment/pointer pair where the high word of the pointer is equal to the high word of the userspace stackpointer. The current implementation uses THREAD_SIZE to determine the cut-off, but there is no good reason not to use the more natural 64kb... However, implementing this by simply substituting THREAD_SIZE with 65536 in patch_espfix_desc crashed the test application. patch_espfix_desc tries to do what is described above, but gets it subtly wrong if the userspace stack pointer is just below a multiple of THREAD_SIZE: an overflow occurs to bit 13... With a bit of luck, when the kernelspace stackpointer is just below a 64kb-boundary, the overflow then ripples trough to bit 16 and userspace will see its stack pointer changed by 65536. This patch moves all espfix code into entry_32.S. Selecting a 16-bit cut-off simplifies the code. The game with changing the limit dynamically is removed too. It complicates matters and I see no value in it. Changing only the top 16-bit word of ESP is one instruction and it also implies that only two bytes of the ESPFIX GDT entry need to be changed and this can be implemented in just a handful simple to understand instructions. As a side effect, the operation to compute the original ESP from the ESPFIX ESP and the GDT entry simplifies a bit too, and the remaining three instructions have been expanded inline in entry_32.S. impact: can now reliably run userspace with ESP=xxxxfffc on 16-bit stack segment Signed-off-by: NAlexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Acked-by: NStas Sergeev <stsp@aknet.ru> Signed-off-by: NH.

iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled. However, x86 CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space. Thus, we want to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can actually address. Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources. Signed-off-by: NH.

setup_force_cpu_cap() only have one user (Xen guest code), but it should not reuse cleared_cpu_cpus, otherwise it will have problems on SMP. Need to have a separate cpu_cpus_set array too, for forced-on flags, beyond the forced-off flags. Also need to setup handling before all cpus caps are combined.

Impact: Fix cpu offline when CONFIG_MAXSMP=y Changeset bc9b83dd "cpumask: convert c1e_mask in arch/x86/kernel/process.c to cpumask_var_t" contained a bug: c1e_mask is manipulated even if C1E isn't detected (and hence not allocated). This is simply fixed by checking for NULL (which gcc optimizes out anyway of CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=n, since it knows ce1_mask can never be NULL). In addition, fix a leak where select_idle_routine re-allocates (and re-clears) c1e_mask on every cpu init.
