由 Huang, Xiaolan 提交于
The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall personality(PER_LINUX32). On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c). To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

Both smp_call_function() and __smp_call_function_map() access cpu_online_map. Both functions run with preemption disabled which protects for cpus going offline. However new cpus can be added and therefore the cpu_online_map can change unexpectedly.

Some IA64 machines map all cell-local memory above 4 GB (32 bit limit). However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved above 4 GB. For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case, it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable for kdump. A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible because of changeset 51b58e3e: On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option. The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters. This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been shutdown properly and DMA stopped. This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling them about 'machvec=dig'. This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle this case are "sn2" and "uv".

After resume on a 2cpu laptop, kernel builds collapse with a sed hang, sh or make segfault (often on 20295564), real-time signal to cc1 etc. Several hurdles to jump, but a manually-assisted bisect led to -rc1's d2bcbad5 x86: do not zap_low_mappings in __smp_prepare_cpus. Though the low mappings were removed at bootup, they were left behind (with Global flags helping to keep them in TLB) after resume or cpu online, causing the crashes seen. Reinstate zap_low_mappings (with local __flush_tlb_all) for each cpu_up on x86_32. This used to be serialized by smp_commenced_mask: that's now gone, but a low_mappings flag will do. No need for native_smp_cpus_done to repeat the zap: let mem_init zap BSP's low mappings just like on UP. (In passing, fix error code from native_cpu_up: do_boot_cpu returns a variety of diagnostic values, Dprintk what it says but convert to -EIO. And save_pg_dir separately before zap_low_mappings: doesn't matter now, but zapping twice in succession wiped out resume's swsusp_pg_dir.) That worked well on the duo and one quad, but wouldn't boot 3rd or 4th cpu on P4 Xeon, oopsing just after unlock_ipi_call_lock. The TLB flush IPI now being sent reveals a long-standing bug: the booting cpu has its APIC readied in smp_callin at the top of start_secondary, but isn't put into the cpu_online_map until just before that unlock_ipi_call_lock. So native_smp_call_function_mask to online cpus would send_IPI_allbutself, including the cpu just coming up, though it has been excluded from the count to wait for: by the time it handles the IPI, the call data on native_smp_call_function_mask's stack may well have been overwritten. So fall back to send_IPI_mask while cpu_online_map does not match cpu_callout_map: perhaps there's a better APICological fix to be made at the start_secondary end, but I wouldn't know that.

Some versions of X used the mprotect workaround to change caching type from UC to WB, so that it can then use mtrr to program WC for that region [1]. Change the mmap of pci space through /sys or /proc interfaces from UC to UC_MINUS. With this change, X will not need to use mprotect workaround to get WC type since the MTRR mapping type will be honored. The bug in mprotect that clobbers PAT bits is fixed in a follow on patch.

The random driver would essentially hang if the host's /dev/random returned -EAGAIN. There was a test of need_resched followed by a schedule inside the loop, but that didn't help and it's the wrong way to work anyway. The right way is to ask for an interrupt when there is input available from the host and handle it then rather than polling. Now, when the host's /dev/random returns -EAGAIN, the driver asks for a wakeup when there's randomness available again and sleeps. The interrupt routine just wakes up whatever processes are sleeping on host_read_wait. There is an atomic_t, host_sleep_count, which counts the number of processes waiting for randomness. When this reaches zero, the interrupt is disabled. An added complication is that async I/O notification was only recently added to /dev/random (by me), so essentially all hosts will lack it. So, we use the sigio workaround here, which is to have a separate thread poll on the descriptor and send an interrupt when there is input on it. This mechanism is activated when a process gets -EAGAIN (activating this multiple times is harmless, if a bit wasteful) and deactivated by the last process still waiting. The module name was changed from "random" to "hw_random" in order for udev to recognize it. The sigio workaround needed some changes. sigio_broken was added for cases when we know that async notification doesn't work. This is now called from maybe_sigio_broken, which deals with pts devices.
