The following change fixes the x86 implementation of trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), which was previously (accidentally, as far as I can tell) disabled to always return false as on architectures that do not implement this function. trigger_all_cpu_backtrace(), as defined in include/linux/nmi.h, should call arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() if available, or return false if the underlying arch doesn't implement this function. x86 did provide a suitable arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() implementation, but it wasn't actually being used because it was declared in asm/nmi.h, which linux/nmi.h doesn't include. Also, linux/nmi.h couldn't easily be fixed by including asm/nmi.h, because that file is not available on all architectures. I am proposing to fix this by moving the x86 definition of arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to asm/irq.h. Tested via: echo l > /proc/sysrq-trigger Before the change, this uses a fallback implementation which shows backtraces on active CPUs (using smp_call_function_interrupt() ) After the change, this shows NMI backtraces on all CPUs Signed-off-by: NMichel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1370518875-1346-1-git-send-email-walken@google.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

We are in the process of removing all the __cpuinit annotations. While working on making that change, an existing problem was made evident: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x198f2): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpu_init() to the function .init.text:load_ucode_ap() The function cpu_init() references the function __init load_ucode_ap(). This is often because cpu_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of load_ucode_ap is wrong. This now appears because in my working tree, cpu_init() is no longer tagged as __cpuinit, and so the audit picks up the mismatch. The 2nd hypothesis from the audit is the correct one, as there was an incorrect __init tag on the prototype in the header (but __cpuinit was used on the function itself.) The audit is telling us that the prototype's __init annotation took effect and the function did land in the .init.text section. Checking with objdump on a mainline tree that still has __cpuinit shows that the __cpuinit on the function takes precedence over the __init on the prototype, but that won't be true once we make __cpuinit a no-op. Even though we are removing __cpuinit, we temporarily align both the function and the prototype on __cpuinit so that the changeset can be applied to stable trees if desired.

This patch reworks the UEFI anti-bricking code, including an effective reversion of cc5a080c and 31ff2f20. It turns out that calling QueryVariableInfo() from boot services results in some firmware implementations jumping to physical addresses even after entering virtual mode, so until we have 1:1 mappings for UEFI runtime space this isn't going to work so well. Reverting these gets us back to the situation where we'd refuse to create variables on some systems because they classify deleted variables as "used" until the firmware triggers a garbage collection run, which they won't do until they reach a lower threshold. This results in it being impossible to install a bootloader, which is unhelpful. Feedback from Samsung indicates that the firmware doesn't need more than 5KB of storage space for its own purposes, so that seems like a reasonable threshold. However, there's still no guarantee that a platform will attempt garbage collection merely because it drops below this threshold. It seems that this is often only triggered if an attempt to write generates a genuine EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES error. We can force that by attempting to create a variable larger than the remaining space. This should fail, but if it somehow succeeds we can then immediately delete it. I've tested this on the UEFI machines I have available, but I don't have a Samsung and so can't verify that it avoids the bricking problem.

modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters (they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0). Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this optimization will still work fine: - __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation) - __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

由 Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
The git commite7a5cd06 ("x86-64, gdt: Store/load GDT for ACPI S3 or hibernate/resume path is not needed.") assumes that for the hibernate path the booting kernel and the resuming kernel MUST be the same. That is certainly the case for a 32-bit kernel (see check_image_kernel and CONFIG_ARCH_HIBERNATION_HEADER config option). However for 64-bit kernels it is OK to have a different kernel version (and size of the image) of the booting and resuming kernels. Hence the above mentioned git commit introduces an regression. This patch fixes it by introducing a 'struct desc_ptr gdt_desc' back in the 'struct saved_context'. However instead of having in the 'save_processor_state' and 'restore_processor_state' the store/load_gdt calls, we are only saving the GDT in the save_processor_state. For the restore path the lgdt operation is done in hibernate_asm_[32|64].S in the 'restore_registers' path. The apt reader of this description will recognize that only 64-bit kernels need this treatment, not 32-bit. This patch adds the logic in the 32-bit path to be more similar to 64-bit so that in the future the unification process can take advantage of this.

show_regs() is inherently arch-dependent but it does make sense to print generic debug information and some archs already do albeit in slightly different forms. This patch introduces a generic function to print debug information from show_regs() so that different archs print out the same information and it's much easier to modify what's printed. show_regs_print_info() prints out the same debug info as dump_stack() does plus task and thread_info pointers. * Archs which didn't print debug info now do. alpha, arc, blackfin, c6x, cris, frv, h8300, hexagon, ia64, m32r, metag, microblaze, mn10300, openrisc, parisc, score, sh64, sparc, um, xtensa * Already prints debug info. Replaced with show_regs_print_info(). The printed information is superset of what used to be there. arm, arm64, avr32, mips, powerpc, sh32, tile, unicore32, x86 * s390 is special in that it used to print arch-specific information along with generic debug info. Heiko and Martin think that the arch-specific extra isn't worth keeping s390 specfic implementation. Converted to use the generic version. Note that now all archs print the debug info before actual register dumps.

In the __mutex_lock_common() function, an initial entry into the lock slow path will cause two atomic_xchg instructions to be issued. Together with the atomic decrement in the fast path, a total of three atomic read-modify-write instructions will be issued in rapid succession. This can cause a lot of cache bouncing when many tasks are trying to acquire the mutex at the same time. This patch will reduce the number of atomic_xchg instructions used by checking the counter value first before issuing the instruction. The atomic_read() function is just a simple memory read. The atomic_xchg() function, on the other hand, can be up to 2 order of magnitude or even more in cost when compared with atomic_read(). By using atomic_read() to check the value first before calling atomic_xchg(), we can avoid a lot of unnecessary cache coherency traffic. The only downside with this change is that a task on the slow path will have a tiny bit less chance of getting the mutex when competing with another task in the fast path. The same is true for the atomic_cmpxchg() function in the mutex-spin-on-owner loop. So an atomic_read() is also performed before calling atomic_cmpxchg(). The mutex locking and unlocking code for the x86 architecture can allow any negative number to be used in the mutex count to indicate that some tasks are waiting for the mutex. I am not so sure if that is the case for the other architectures. So the default is to avoid atomic_xchg() if the count has already been set to -1. For x86, the check is modified to include all negative numbers to cover a larger case. The following table shows the jobs per minutes (JPM) scalability data on an 8-node 80-core Westmere box with a 3.7.10 kernel. The numactl command is used to restrict the running of the high_systime workloads to 1/2/4/8 nodes with hyperthreading on and off. +-----------------+-----------+------------+----------+ | Configuration | Mean JPM | Mean JPM | % Change | | | w/o patch | with patch | | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | | User Range 1100 - 2000 | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT on | 36980 | 148590 | +301.8% | | 8 nodes, HT off | 42799 | 145011 | +238.8% | | 4 nodes, HT on | 61318 | 118445 | +51.1% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 158481 | 158592 | +0.1% | | 2 nodes, HT on | 180602 | 173967 | -3.7% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 198409 | 198073 | -0.2% | | 1 node , HT on | 149042 | 147671 | -0.9% | | 1 node , HT off | 126036 | 126533 | +0.4% | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | | User Range 200 - 1000 | +-----------------+-----------------------------------+ | 8 nodes, HT on | 41525 | 122349 | +194.6% | | 8 nodes, HT off | 49866 | 124032 | +148.7% | | 4 nodes, HT on | 66409 | 106984 | +61.1% | | 4 nodes, HT off | 119880 | 130508 | +8.9% | | 2 nodes, HT on | 138003 | 133948 | -2.9% | | 2 nodes, HT off | 132792 | 131997 | -0.6% | | 1 node , HT on | 116593 | 115859 | -0.6% | | 1 node , HT off | 104499 | 104597 | +0.1% | +-----------------+------------+-----------+----------+ At low user range 10-100, the JPM differences were within +/-1%. So they are not that interesting. AIM7 benchmark run has a pretty large run-to-run variance due to random nature of the subtests executed. So a difference of less than +-5% may not be really significant. This patch improves high_systime workload performance at 4 nodes and up by maintaining transaction rates without significant drop-off at high node count. The patch has practically no impact on 1 and 2 nodes system. The table below shows the percentage time (as reported by perf record -a -s -g) spent on the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function by the high_systime workload at 1500 users for 2/4/8-node configurations with hyperthreading off. +---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+ | Configuration | %Time w/o patch | %Time with patch | %Change | +---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+ | 8 nodes | 65.34% | 0.69% | -99% | | 4 nodes | 8.70% | 1.02% | -88% | | 2 nodes | 0.41% | 0.32% | -22% | +---------------+-----------------+------------------+---------+ It is obvious that the dramatic performance improvement at 8 nodes was due to the drastic cut in the time spent within the __mutex_lock_slowpath() function.

A few years back intel published a spec update: http://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/specification-update/5520-and-5500-chipset-ioh-specification-update.pdf For the 5520 and 5500 chipsets which contained an errata (specificially errata 53), which noted that these chipsets can't properly do interrupt remapping, and as a result the recommend that interrupt remapping be disabled in bios. While many vendors have a bios update to do exactly that, not all do, and of course not all users update their bios to a level that corrects the problem. As a result, occasionally interrupts can arrive at a cpu even after affinity for that interrupt has be moved, leading to lost or spurrious interrupts (usually characterized by the message: kernel: do_IRQ: 7.71 No irq handler for vector (irq -1) There have been several incidents recently of people seeing this error, and investigation has shown that they have system for which their BIOS level is such that this feature was not properly turned off. As such, it would be good to give them a reminder that their systems are vulnurable to this problem.

Posted Interrupt feature requires a special IPI to deliver posted interrupt to guest. And it should has a high priority so the interrupt will not be blocked by others. Normally, the posted interrupt will be consumed by vcpu if target vcpu is running and transparent to OS. But in some cases, the interrupt will arrive when target vcpu is scheduled out. And host will see it. So we need to register a dump handler to handle it.

The "acknowledge interrupt on exit" feature controls processor behavior for external interrupt acknowledgement. When this control is set, the processor acknowledges the interrupt controller to acquire the interrupt vector on VM exit. After enabling this feature, an interrupt which arrived when target cpu is running in vmx non-root mode will be handled by vmx handler instead of handler in idt. Currently, vmx handler only fakes an interrupt stack and jump to idt table to let real handler to handle it. Further, we will recognize the interrupt and only delivery the interrupt which not belong to current vcpu through idt table. The interrupt which belonged to current vcpu will be handled inside vmx handler. This will reduce the interrupt handle cost of KVM. Also, interrupt enable logic is changed if this feature is turnning on: Before this patch, hypervior call local_irq_enable() to enable it directly. Now IF bit is set on interrupt stack frame, and will be enabled on a return from interrupt handler if exterrupt interrupt exists. If no external interrupt, still call local_irq_enable() to enable it.

EFI variables can be flagged as being accessible only within boot services. This makes it awkward for us to figure out how much space they use at runtime. In theory we could figure this out by simply comparing the results from QueryVariableInfo() to the space used by all of our variables, but that fails if the platform doesn't garbage collect on every boot. Thankfully, calling QueryVariableInfo() while still inside boot services gives a more reliable answer. This patch passes that information from the EFI boot stub up to the efi platform code.

This patch attempts to fix: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461 The symptom is a crash and messages like this: chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000 *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000 Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free unused pagetables. On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table (aka pgd_t entries). The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg does not actually affect the CPU's copy. If we clear one we *HAVE* to do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page. (note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()). This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush. BTW, I disassembled and checked that: if (tlb->fullmm == 0) and if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all) generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there to the !PAE case.
