Intel processors which don't report cache information via cpuid(2) or cpuid(4) need quirk code in the legacy_cache_size callback to report this data. For Intel that callback is is intel_size_cache(). This patch enables calling of cpu_detect_cache_sizes() inside of init_intel() and hence the calling of the legacy_cache callback in intel_size_cache(). Adding this call will ensure that PIII Tualatin currently in intel_size_cache() and Quark SoC X1000 being added to intel_size_cache() in this patch will report their respective cache sizes. This model of calling cpu_detect_cache_sizes() is consistent with AMD/Via/Cirix/Transmeta and Centaur. Also added is a string to idenitfy the Quark as Quark SoC X1000 giving better and more descriptive output via /proc/cpuinfo Adding cpu_detect_cache_sizes to init_intel() will enable calling of intel_size_cache() on Intel processors which currently no code can reach. Therefore this patch will also re-enable reporting of PIII Tualatin cache size information as well as add Quark SoC X1000 support.

Quark x1000 advertises PGE via the standard CPUID method PGE bits exist in Quark X1000's PTEs. In order to flush an individual PTE it is necessary to reload CR3 irrespective of the PTE.PGE bit. See Quark Core_DevMan_001.pdf section 6.4.11 This bug was fixed in Galileo kernels, unfixed vanilla kernels are expected to crash and burn on this platform.

I think the flush_tlb_mm_range() code that tries to tune the flush sizes based on the CPU needs to get ripped out for several reasons: 1. It is obviously buggy. It uses mm->total_vm to judge the task's footprint in the TLB. It should certainly be using some measure of RSS, *NOT* ->total_vm since only resident memory can populate the TLB. 2. Haswell, and several other CPUs are missing from the intel_tlb_flushall_shift_set() function. Thus, it has been demonstrated to bitrot quickly in practice. 3. It is plain wrong in my vm: [ 0.037444] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.037444] Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 0, 2MB 0, 4MB 0 [ 0.037444] tlb_flushall_shift: 6 Which leads to it to never use invlpg. 4. The assumptions about TLB refill costs are wrong: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1337782555-8088-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.com (more on this in later patches) 5. I can not reproduce the original data: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59 I believe the sample times were too short. Running the benchmark in a loop yields times that vary quite a bit. Note that this leaves us with a static ceiling of 1 page. This is a conservative, dumb setting, and will be revised in a later patch. This also removes the code which attempts to predict whether we are flushing data or instructions. We expect instruction flushes to be relatively rare and not worth tuning for explicitly.

P4 systems with cpuid level < 4 can have SMT, but the cache topology description available (cpuid2) does not include SMP information. Now we know that SMT shares all cache levels, and therefore we can mark all available cache levels as shared. We do this by setting cpu_llc_id to ->phys_proc_id, since that's the same for each SMT thread. We can do this unconditional since if there's no SMT its still true, the one CPU shares cache with only itself. This fixes a problem where such CPUs report an incorrect LLC CPU mask. This in turn fixes a crash in the scheduler where the topology was build wrong, it assumes the LLC mask to include at least the SMT CPUs.

There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86). The problem was related to the tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered. The problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values is unclear. This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited if any regression is found as a result of this change. IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology determined that the value of 2 is acceptable. Details are in the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift for IvyBridge". One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen. The original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen. It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare metal typically do.

There was a large performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86"). This patch simply changes the default balance point between a local and global flush for IvyBridge. In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__tlbflush-performance configs/config-global-dhp__scheduler-performance configs/config-global-dhp__network-performance Results are from two machines Ivybridge 4 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz Ivybridge 8 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Page fault microbenchmark showed nothing interesting. Ebizzy was configured to run multiple iterations and threads. Thread counts ranged from 1 to NR_CPUS*2. For each thread count, it ran 100 iterations and each iteration lasted 10 seconds.

The patch addresses the problem. Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected within that section. iteration 1, random number between 0-64 iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges and an even spread is not representative of any workload that matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it would not account for the time between flushes but there are limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering with the test results recently. Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine. These results were unstable and showed large variations between reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary. Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems like a logical choice.

Linux 3.10 changed the timing of how thread_info->flags is touched: x86: Use generic idle loop (7d1a9417) This caused Intel NHM-EX and WSM-EX servers to experience a large number of immediate MONITOR/MWAIT break wakeups, which caused cpuidle to demote from deep C-states to shallow C-states, which caused these platforms to experience a significant increase in idle power. Note that this issue was already present before the commit above, however, it wasn't seen often enough to be noticed in power measurements. Here we extend an errata workaround from the Core2 EX "Dunnington" to extend to NHM-EX and WSM-EX, to prevent these immediate returns from MWAIT, reducing idle power on these platforms. While only acpi_idle ran on Dunnington, intel_idle may also run on these two newer systems. As of today, there are no other models that are known to need this tweak.

struct cpu_dev's c_models is only ever set inside CONFIG_X86_32 conditionals (or code that's being built for 32-bit only), so there's no use of reserving the (empty) space for the model names in a 64-bit kernel. Similarly, c_size_cache is only used in the #else of a CONFIG_X86_64 conditional, so reserving space for (and in one case even initializing) that field is pointless for 64-bit kernels too. While moving both fields to the end of the structure, I also noticed that: - the c_models array size was one too small, potentially causing table_lookup_model() to return garbage on Intel CPUs (intel.c's instance was lacking the sentinel with family being zero), so the patch bumps that by one, - c_models' vendor sub-field was unused (and anyway redundant with the base structure's c_x86_vendor field), so the patch deletes it. Also rename the legacy fields so that their legacy nature stands out and comment their declarations.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files, and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

Make a copy of the IDT (as seen via the "sidt" instruction) read-only. This primarily removes the IDT from being a target for arbitrary memory write attacks, and has the added benefit of also not leaking the kernel base offset, if it has been relocated. We already did this on vendor == Intel and family == 5 because of the F0 0F bug -- regardless of if a particular CPU had the F0 0F bug or not. Since the workaround was so cheap, there simply was no reason to be very specific. This patch extends the readonly alias to all CPUs, but does not activate the #PF to #UD conversion code needed to deliver the proper exception in the F0 0F case except on Intel family 5 processors.

When I made an attempt at separating __pa_symbol and __pa I found that there were a number of cases where __pa was used on an obvious symbol. I also caught one non-obvious case as _brk_start and _brk_end are based on the address of __brk_base which is a C visible symbol. In mark_rodata_ro I was able to reduce the overhead of kernel symbol to virtual memory translation by using a combination of __va(__pa_symbol()) instead of page_address(virt_to_page()).

Testing show different CPU type(micro architectures and NUMA mode) has different balance points between the TLB flush all and multiple invlpg. And there also has cases the tlb flush change has no any help. This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance to set different shift for different CPU type. like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing help. For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU.

For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions. For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB and 1GB. Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number. This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB optimizing. Accroding Borislav's suggestion, except tlb_ll[i/d]_* array, other function and data will be released after system boot up. For all kinds of x86 vendor friendly, vendor specific code was moved to its specific files.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the !SMP case, likely to save space. However, those fields still have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef removal from other files. The additional size of the UP kernel from this change is not significant enough to worry about keeping up the distinction: text data bss dec hex filename 4737168 506459 972040 6215667 5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before 4737444 506459 972040 6215943 5ed907 vmlinux.o.after for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config. If someone wants those 276 bytes back badly then it should be implemented in a cleaner way.

I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode" field to /proc/cpuinfo. The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks together with the other CPUID model information. I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver, it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode is updated it fills in the new values too. I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it being optimized away when the result is not used. This turns out to clean up further code which already got this information manually. This is done in followon patches. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NH.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo, Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS. However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems... Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8). As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency. While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default operating point is "normal" mode... Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot. x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot, should the user have a different preference.

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. This is to avoid introducing unexpected behavior change and will be updated once init path is unified. * srat_detect_node() is now enabled for x86_32 too. It calls numa_set_node() and initializes the mapping making explicit cpu_to_node_map[] updates from map/unmap_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

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.

commit d9c2d5ac "x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA" changed NUMA initialization on Intel to choose the nearest online node or first node. Fake NUMA would be better of with round-robin initialization, instead of the all CPUS on first node. Change the choice of first node, back to round-robin. For testing NUMA kernel behaviour without cpusets and NUMA aware applications, it would be better to have cpus in different nodes, rather than all in a single node. With cpusets migration of tasks scenarios cannot not be tested. I guess having it round-robin shouldn't affect the use cases for all cpus on the first node. The code comments in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c:759 indicate that this used to be the case, which was changed by commit d9c2d5ac. It changed from roundrobin to nearer or first node. And I couldn't find any reason for this change in its changelog.

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41: "If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses." [http://download.intel.com/design/processor/specupdt/319536.pdf] Where as commit 211b3d03 seems to workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it. This patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page splitting and not tripping this processor issue. This is based on an original patch by Colin King.
