This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: NVegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>

i spent a fair amount of time chasing a 64-bit bootup crash that manifested itself as bootup segfaults: S10network[1825]: segfault at 7f3e2b5d16b8 ip 00000031108748c9 sp 00007fffb9c14c70 error 4 in libc-2.7.so[3110800000+14d000] eventually causing init to die and panic the system: Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.26-rc9-tip #13878 after a maratonic bisection session, the bad commit turned out to be: | b7675791859075418199c7af86a116ea34eaf5bd is first bad commit | commit b7675791859075418199c7af86a116ea34eaf5bd | Author: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> | Date: Wed Jun 25 00:19:00 2008 -0400 | | x86: remove open-coded save/load segment operations | | This removes a pile of buggy open-coded implementations of savesegment | and loadsegment. after some more bisection of this patch itself, it turns out that what makes the difference are the savesegment() changes to __switch_to(). Taking a look at this portion of arch/x86/kernel/process_64.o revealed this crutial difference: | good: 99c: 8c e0 mov %fs,%eax | 99e: 89 45 cc mov %eax,-0x34(%rbp) | | bad: 99c: 8c 65 cc mov %fs,-0x34(%rbp) which is due to: | unsigned fsindex; | - asm volatile("movl %%fs,%0" : "=r" (fsindex)); | + savesegment(fs, fsindex); savesegment() is implemented as: #define savesegment(seg, value) \ asm("mov %%" #seg ",%0":"=rm" (value) : : "memory") note the "m" modifier - it allows GCC to generate the segment move into a memory operand as well. But regarding segment operands there's a subtle detail in the x86 instruction set: the above 16-bit moves are zero-extend, but only if it goes to a register. If it goes to a memory operand, -0x34(%rbp) in the above case, there's no zero-extend to 32-bit and the instruction will only save 16 bits instead of the intended 32-bit. The other 16 bits is random data - which can cause problems when that value is used later on. The solution is to only allow segment operands to go to registers. This fix allows my test-system to boot up without crashing. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Liu Pingfan noticed that switch_to() clobbers more registers than its asm constraints specify. We get away with this due to luck mostly - schedule() by its nature only has 'local' state which gets reloaded automatically. Fix it nevertheless, we could hit this anytime. it turns out that with the extra constraints gcc manages to make schedule() even more compact: text data bss dec hex filename 28626 684 2640 31950 7cce sched.o.before 28613 684 2640 31937 7cc1 sched.o.after Reported-by: NLiu Pingfan <kernelfans@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The volatile keyword was removed from the clflush() prototype in commit e34907ae; the comment there states: x86: remove volatile keyword from clflush. the p parameter is an explicit memory reference, and is enough to prevent gcc to being nasty here. The volatile seems completely not needed. This reflects incorrect understanding of the function of the volatile keyword there. The purpose of the volatile keyword is informing gcc that it is safe to pass a volatile pointer to this function. Signed-off-by: NH.

rdtsc_barrier() is a new barrier primitive that stops RDTSC speculation to avoid races with timer interrupts on other CPUs. It expands either to LFENCE (for Intel CPUs) or MFENCE (for AMD CPUs) which stops RDTSC on all currently known microarchitectures that implement SSE. On CPUs without SSE there is generally no RDTSC speculation.

The memory barrier parts of system.h are not very different between i386 and x86_64, the main difference being the availability of instructions, which we handle with the use of ifdefs.
