Currently arch_disable_smp_support() on x86 disables only the support for the IOAPIC and is also compiled in if SMP-support is not. Therefore this function is renamed to disable_ioapic_support(), which meets its purpose and is only compiled in the kernel when IOAPIC support is also. A new arch_disable_smp_support() is created in smpboot.c, which calls disable_ioapic_support() and gets only compiled in the kernel when SMP support is also.

Common infrastructure for low memory trampolines. This code installs the trampolines permanently in low memory very early. It also permits multiple pieces of code to be used for this purpose. This code also introduces a standard infrastructure for computing symbol addresses in the trampoline code. The only change to the actual SMP trampolines themselves is that the 64-bit trampoline has been made reusable -- the previous version would overwrite the code with a status variable; this moves the status variable to a separate location.

Additionally doing things conditionally upon smp_processor_id() being zero is generally a bad idea, as this means CPU 0 cannot be offlined and brought back online later again. While there may be other places where this is done, I think adding more of those should be avoided so that some day SMP can really become "symmetrical".

Since checkin ebba638a we call verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, calling a function means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in the 32-bit setup code! This code initializes the stack pointer, and simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different values for the segment register anyway. This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants the other way around...

x86_32 has been managing node_to_cpumask_map explicitly from map_cpu_to_node() and friends in a rather ugly way. With previous changes, it's now possible to share the code with 64bit. * When CONFIG_NUMA_EMU is disabled, numa_add/remove_cpu() are implemented in numa.c and shared by 32 and 64bit. CONFIG_NUMA_EMU versions still live in numa_64.c. NUMA_EMU's dependency on 64bit is planned to be removed and the above should go away together. * identify_cpu() now calls numa_add_cpu() for 32bit too. This makes the explicit mask management from map_cpu_to_node() unnecessary. * The whole x86_32 specific map_cpu_to_node() chunk is no longer necessary. Dropped.

Unlike 64bit, 32bit has been using its own cpu_to_node_map[] for CPU -> NUMA node mapping. Replace it with early_percpu variable x86_cpu_to_node_map and share the mapping code with 64bit. * USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID is now enabled for 32bit too. * x86_cpu_to_node_map and numa_set/clear_node() are moved from numa_64 to numa. For now, on 32bit, x86_cpu_to_node_map is initialized with 0 instead of NUMA_NO_NODE.

The mapping between cpu/apicid and node is done via apicid_to_node[] on 64bit and apicid_2_node[] + apic->x86_32_numa_cpu_node() on 32bit. This difference makes it difficult to further unify 32 and 64bit NUMA handling. This patch unifies it by replacing both apicid_to_node[] and apicid_2_node[] with __apicid_to_node[] array, which is accessed by two accessors - set_apicid_to_node() and numa_cpu_node(). On 64bit, numa_cpu_node() always consults __apicid_to_node[] directly while 32bit goes through apic->numa_cpu_node() method to allow apic implementations to override it. srat_detect_node() for amd cpus contains workaround for broken NUMA configuration which assumes relationship between APIC ID, HT node ID and NUMA topology. Leave it to access __apicid_to_node[] directly as mapping through CPU might result in undesirable behavior change. The comment is reformatted and updated to note the ugliness.

apic->apicid_to_node() is 32bit specific apic operation which determines NUMA node for a CPU. Depending on the APIC implementation, it can be easier to determine NUMA node from either physical or logical apicid. Currently, ->apicid_to_node() takes @logical_apicid and calls hard_smp_processor_id() if the physical apicid is needed. This prevents NUMA mapping from being queried from a different CPU, which in turn makes it impossible to initialize NUMA mapping before SMP bringup. This patch replaces apic->apicid_to_node() with ->x86_32_numa_cpu_node() which takes @cpu, from which both logical and physical apicids can easily be determined. While at it, drop duplicate implementations from bigsmp_32 and summit_32, and use the default one.

On processors with hyperthreading, when only one thread is offlined the other thread can cause a spurious wakeup on the idled thread. We do not want to re-WBINVD when that happens. Ideally, we should simply skip WBINVD unless we're the last thread on a particular core to shut down, but there might be similar issues elsewhere in the system. Thus, revert to previous behavior of only WBINVD outside the loop. Partly as a result, remove the mb()'s around it: they are not necessary since wbinvd() is a serializing instruction, but they were intended to make sure the compiler didn't do any funny loop optimizations.

The code in native_play_dead() has a number of problems: 1. We should use MWAIT when available, to put ourselves into a deeper sleep state. 2. We use the existence of CLFLUSH to determine if WBINVD is safe, but that is totally bogus -- WBINVD is 486+, whereas CLFLUSH is a much later addition. 3. We should do WBINVD inside the loop, just in case of something like setting an A bit on page tables. Pointed out by Arjan van de Ven. This code is based in part of a previous patch by Venki Pallipadi, but unlike that patch this one keeps all the detection code local instead of pre-caching a bunch of information. We're shutting down the CPU; there is absolutely no hurry. This patch moves all the code to C and deletes the global wbinvd_halt() which is broken anyway.

With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform. These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this feature from the hypervisor. Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels still work fine on VMware's platform. Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are, Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence releases for these products will continue supporting VMI. For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this, http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.

When testing cpu hotplug code on 32-bit we kept hitting the "CPU%d: Stuck ??" message due to multiple cores concurrently accessing the cpu_callin_mask, among others. Since these codepaths are not protected from concurrent access due to the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the sysfs level and be done with it.

This patch fixes machine crashes which occur when heavily exercising the CPU hotplug codepaths on a 32-bit kernel. These crashes are caused by AMD Erratum 383 and result in a fatal machine check exception. Here's the scenario: 1. On 32-bit, the swapper_pg_dir page table is used as the initial page table for booting a secondary CPU. 2. To make this work, swapper_pg_dir needs a direct mapping of physical memory in it (the low mappings). By adding those low, large page (2M) mappings (PAE kernel), we create the necessary conditions for Erratum 383 to occur. 3. Other CPUs which do not participate in the off- and onlining game may use swapper_pg_dir while the low mappings are present (when leave_mm is called). For all steps below, the CPU referred to is a CPU that is using swapper_pg_dir, and not the CPU which is being onlined. 4. The presence of the low mappings in swapper_pg_dir can result in TLB entries for addresses below __PAGE_OFFSET to be established speculatively. These TLB entries are marked global and large. 5. When the CPU with such TLB entry switches to another page table, this TLB entry remains because it is global. 6. The process then generates an access to an address covered by the above TLB entry but there is a permission mismatch - the TLB entry covers a large global page not accessible to userspace. 7. Due to this permission mismatch a new 4kb, user TLB entry gets established. Further, Erratum 383 provides for a small window of time where both TLB entries are present. This results in an uncorrectable machine check exception signalling a TLB multimatch which panics the machine. There are two ways to fix this issue: 1. Always do a global TLB flush when a new cr3 is loaded and the old page table was swapper_pg_dir. I consider this a hack hard to understand and with performance implications 2. Do not use swapper_pg_dir to boot secondary CPUs like 64-bit does. This patch implements solution 2. It introduces a trampoline_pg_dir which has the same layout as swapper_pg_dir with low_mappings. This page table is used as the initial page table of the booting CPU. Later in the bringup process, it switches to swapper_pg_dir and does a global TLB flush. This fixes the crashes in our test cases. -v2: switch to swapper_pg_dir right after entering start_secondary() so that we are able to access percpu data which might not be mapped in the trampoline page table.

Use the stop machine context rather than IPI's to rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR initialization that happens during cpu bringup or for MTRR modifications during runtime. This avoids deadlock scenario (reported by Prarit) like: cpu A holds a read_lock (tasklist_lock for example) with irqs enabled cpu B waits for the same lock with irqs disabled using write_lock_irq cpu C doing set_mtrr() (during AP bringup for example), which will try to rendezvous all the cpus using IPI's This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the lock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Using stop cpu (run in the process context of per cpu based keventd) to do this rendezvous, avoids this deadlock scenario. Also make sure all the cpu's are in the rendezvous handler before we proceed with the local_irq_save() on each cpu. This lock step disabling irqs on all the cpus will avoid other deadlock scenarios (for example involving with the blocking smp_call_function's etc). [ This problem is very old. Marking -stable only for 2.6.35 as the stop_one_cpu_nowait() API is present only in 2.6.35. Any older kernel interested in this fix need to do some more work in backporting this patch. ] Reported-by: NPrarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1280515602.2682.10.camel@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Acked-by: NPrarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org [2.6.35] Signed-off-by: NH.

Define WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and create keventd with max_active set to half of it which means that keventd now can process upto WQ_MAX_ACTIVE / 2 - 1 works concurrently. Unless some combination can result in dependency loop longer than max_active, deadlock won't happen and thus it's unnecessary to check whether current_is_keventd() before trying to schedule a work. Kill current_is_keventd(). (Lockdep annotations are broken. We need lock_map_acquire_read_norecurse()) Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>

Bits set in cpu_possible_mask prior to the execution of prefill_possible_map() (i.e. when parsing ACPI or MPS tables) would prevent the SMP alternatives logic from switching to UP mode, plus unnecessary setup of per-CPU data for CPUs that can never come online. Additionally, without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU disabled CPUs can never come online, and hence setting cpu_possible_mask bits for them is again a simple waste of resources.
