      x86: fix assumed to be contiguous leaf page tables for kmap_atomic region (take 2) · a3c6018e
      由 Jan Beulich 提交于 
      Debugging and original patch from Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

The early fixmap pmd entry inserted at the very top of the KVA is causing the
subsequent fixmap mapping code to not provide physically linear pte pages over
the kmap atomic portion of the fixmap (which relies on said property to
calculate pte addresses).

This has caused weird boot failures in kmap_atomic much later in the boot
process (initial userspace faults) on a 32-bit PAE system with a larger number
of CPUs (smaller CPU counts tend not to run over into the next page so don't
show up the problem).

Solve this by attempting to clear out the page table, and copy any of its
entries to the new one. Also, add a bug if a nonlinear condition is encountered
and can't be resolved, which might save some hours of debugging if this fragile
scheme ever breaks again...

Once we have such logic, we can also use it to eliminate the early ioremap
trickery around the page table setup for the fixmap area. This also fixes
potential issues with FIX_* entries sharing the leaf page table with the early
ioremap ones getting discarded by early_ioremap_clear() and not restored by
early_ioremap_reset(). It at once eliminates the temporary (and configuration,
namely NR_CPUS, dependent) unavailability of early fixed mappings during the
time the fixmap area page tables get constructed.

Finally, also replace the hard coded calculation of the initial table space
needed for the fixmap area with a proper one, allowing kernels configured for
large CPU counts to actually boot.

      x86, UV: cpu_relax in uv_wait_completion · 18c07cf5
      由 Cliff Wickman 提交于 
      The function uv_wait_completion() spins on reads of a memory-mapped
register, waiting for completion of BAU hardware replies.

It should call "cpu_relax()" between those reads to improve performance
on hyperthreaded configurations.

      x86, generic: mark complex bitops.h inlines as __always_inline · c8399943
      由 Andi Kleen 提交于 
      Impact: reduce kernel image size

Hugh Dickins noticed that older gcc versions when the kernel
is built for code size didn't inline some of the bitops.

Mark all complex x86 bitops that have more than a single
asm statement or two as always inline to avoid this problem.

Probably should be done for other architectures too.

Ingo then found a better fix that only requires
a single line change, but it unfortunately only
works on gcc 4.3.

On older gccs the original patch still makes a ~0.3% defconfig
difference with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y.

With gcc 4.1 and a defconfig like build:

    6116998 1138540  883788 8139326  7c323e vmlinux-oi-with-patch
    6137043 1138540  883788 8159371  7c808b vmlinux-optimize-inlining

~20k / 0.3% difference.
