Add check if APIC is not disabled since thermal monitoring depends on it. As only apic gets disabled we should not try to install "thermal monitor" vector, print out that thermal monitoring is enabled and etc... Note that "Intel Correct Machine Check Interrupts" already has such a check. Also I decided to not add cpu_has_apic check into mcheck_intel_therm_init since even if it'll call apic_read on disabled apic -- it's safe here and allow us to save a few code bytes.

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. ... Booting Node 3, Processors #56 #57 #58 #59 #60 #61 #62 #63 Ok.

The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added and removed. The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a CPU that has had siblings previously removed. This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache maps when a cpu is added.

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 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.

The MCE initialization code explicitly says it doesn't handle asymmetric configurations where different CPUs support different numbers of MCE banks, and it prints a big warning in that case. Therefore, printing the "mce: CPU supports <x> MCE banks" message into the kernel log for every CPU is pure redundancy that clutters the log significantly for systems with lots of CPUs.

This approach is the first baby step towards solving many of the structural problems the x86 MCE logging code is having today: - It has a private ring-buffer implementation that has a number of limitations and has been historically fragile and buggy. - It is using a quirky /dev/mcelog ioctl driven ABI that is MCE specific. /dev/mcelog is not part of any larger logging framework and hence has remained on the fringes for many years. - The MCE logging code is still very unclean partly due to its ABI limitations. Fields are being reused for multiple purposes, and the whole message structure is limited and x86 specific to begin with. All in one, the x86 tree would like to move away from this private implementation of an event logging facility to a broader framework. By using perf events we gain the following advantages: - Multiple user-space agents can access MCE events. We can have an mcelog daemon running but also a system-wide tracer capturing important events in flight-recorder mode. - Sampling support: the kernel and the user-space call-chain of MCE events can be stored and analyzed as well. This way actual patterns of bad behavior can be matched to precisely what kind of activity happened in the kernel (and/or in the app) around that moment in time. - Coupling with other hardware and software events: the PMU can track a number of other anomalies - monitoring software might chose to monitor those plus the MCE events as well - in one coherent stream of events. - Discovery of MCE sources - tracepoints are enumerated and tools can act upon the existence (or non-existence) of various channels of MCE information. - Filtering support: we just subscribe to and act upon the events we are interested in. Then even on a per event source basis there's in-kernel filter expressions available that can restrict the amount of data that hits the event channel. - Arbitrary deep per cpu buffering of events - we can buffer 32 entries or we can buffer as much as we want, as long as we have the RAM. - An NMI-safe ring-buffer implementation - mappable to user-space. - Built-in support for timestamping of events, PID markers, CPU markers, etc. - A rich ABI accessible over system call interface. Per cpu, per task and per workload monitoring of MCE events can be done this way. The ABI itself has a nice, meaningful structure. - Extensible ABI: new fields can be added without breaking tooling. New tracepoints can be added as the hardware side evolves. There's various parsers that can be used. - Lots of scheduling/buffering/batching modes of operandi for MCE events. poll() support. mmap() support. read() support. You name it. - Rich tooling support: even without any MCE specific extensions added the 'perf' tool today offers various views of MCE data: perf report, perf stat, perf trace can all be used to view logged MCE events and perhaps correlate them to certain user-space usage patterns. But it can be used directly as well, for user-space agents and policy action in mcelog, etc. With this we hope to achieve significant code cleanup and feature improvements in the MCE code, and we hope to be able to drop the /dev/mcelog facility in the end. This patch is just a plain dumb dump of mce_log() records to the tracepoints / perf events framework - a first proof of concept step.

There was namespace overlap due to a rename i did - this caused the following build warning, reported by Stephen Rothwell against linux-next x86_64 allmodconfig: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c: In function 'intel_get_event_idx': arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c:1445: warning: 'event_constraint' is used uninitialized in this function This is a real bug not just a warning: fix it by renaming the global event-constraints table pointer to 'event_constraints'.

Add an atomic notifier which ensures proper locking when conveying MCE info to EDAC for decoding. The actual notifier call overrides a default, negative priority notifier. Note: make sure we register the default decoder only once since mcheck_init() runs on each CPU.

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: NAlexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>
