      [ARM] Double check memmap is actually valid with a memmap has unexpected holes V2 · eb33575c
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      pfn_valid() is meant to be able to tell if a given PFN has valid memmap
      associated with it or not. In FLATMEM, it is expected that holes always
      have valid memmap as long as there is valid PFNs either side of the hole.
      In SPARSEMEM, it is assumed that a valid section has a memmap for the
      entire section.
      
      However, ARM and maybe other embedded architectures in the future free
      memmap backing holes to save memory on the assumption the memmap is never
      used. The page_zone linkages are then broken even though pfn_valid()
      returns true. A walker of the full memmap must then do this additional
      check to ensure the memmap they are looking at is sane by making sure the
      zone and PFN linkages are still valid. This is expensive, but walkers of
      the full memmap are extremely rare.
      
      This was caught before for FLATMEM and hacked around but it hits again for
      SPARSEMEM because the page_zone linkages can look ok where the PFN linkages
      are totally screwed. This looks like a hatchet job but the reality is that
      any clean solution would end up consumning all the memory saved by punching
      these unexpected holes in the memmap. For example, we tried marking the
      memmap within the section invalid but the section size exceeds the size of
      the hole in most cases so pfn_valid() starts returning false where valid
      memmap exists. Shrinking the size of the section would increase memory
      consumption offsetting the gains.
      
      This patch identifies when an architecture is punching unexpected holes
      in the memmap that the memory model cannot automatically detect and sets
      ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL. At the moment, this is restricted to EP93xx
      which is the model sub-architecture this has been reported on but may expand
      later. When set, walkers of the full memmap must call memmap_valid_within()
      for each PFN and passing in what it expects the page and zone to be for
      that PFN. If it finds the linkages to be broken, it assumes the memmap is
      invalid for that PFN.

      I don't think anything guarantees that the objects in data.page_aligned
      are a multiple of PAGE_SIZE, thus the section may end on any boundary.
      
      So the following section, .data.cacheline_aligned needs an explicit

      powerpc/ftrace: Fix constraint to be early clobber · c3cf8667
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      After upgrading my distcc boxes from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function
      graph tracer broke. This was discovered on my x86 boxes.
      
      The issue is that gcc used the same register for an output as it did for
      an input in an asm statement. I first thought this was a bug in gcc and
      reported it. I was notified that gcc was correct and that the output had
      to be flagged as an "early clobber".
      
      I noticed that powerpc had the same issue and this patch fixes it.

      ARM: OMAP3: Fix HW SAVEANDRESTORE shift define · 8dbe4393
      Kalle Jokiniemi 提交于
      The OMAP3430ES2_SAVEANDRESTORE_SHIFT macro is used
      by powerdomain code in
      "1 << OMAP3430ES2_SAVEANDRESTORE_SHIFT" manner, but
      the definition was also (1 << 4), meaning we actually
      modified bit 16. So the definition needs to be 4.
      
      This fixes also a cold reset HW bug in OMAP3430 ES3.x
      where some of the efuse bits are not isolated during
      wake-up from off mode. This can cause randomish
      cold resets with off mode. Enabling the USBTLL hardware
      SAVEANDRESTORE causes the core power up assert to be
      delayed in a way that we will not get faulty values
      when boot ROM is reading the unisolated registers.

      x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels · b4ecc126
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
      behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
      
      It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
      spinlocks introduced by:
      
       | commit 8efcbab6
       | Date:   Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
       |
       |     paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
      
      The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
      causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
      (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test).  The working theory is
      that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
      call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
      speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
      reasons).  This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
      hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
      locked instructions.  But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
      other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
      nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
      executed).
      
      If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
      identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
      it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
      
      Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
      no-pvops build as baseline:
      
      		nopv		Pv-nospin	Pv-spin
      CPU cycles	100.00%		99.89%		102.18%
      instructions	100.00%		100.10%		100.15%
      CPI		100.00%		99.79%		102.03%
      cache ref	100.00%		100.84%		100.28%
      cache miss	100.00%		90.47%		88.56%
      cache miss rate	100.00%		89.72%		88.31%
      branches	100.00%		99.93%		100.04%
      branch miss	100.00%		103.66%		107.72%
      branch miss rt	100.00%		103.73%		107.67%
      wallclock	100.00%		99.90%		102.20%
      
      The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
      directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
      
      (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
      out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
      and miss rates.  Not too surprising, but it suggests that
      the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined.  On the flipside,
      the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
      
      So, what's the fix?
      
      Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
      _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls.  For example, the compiler
      generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
      
      <_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
      <_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
      <_spin_lock+15>:	callq  *0xffffffff805a5b30
      <_spin_lock+22>:	retq
      
      The indirect call will get patched to:
      <_spin_lock+0>:		mov    %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
      <_spin_lock+9>:		incl   0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
      <_spin_lock+15>:	callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
      <_spin_lock+20>:	nop; nop		/* or whatever 2-byte nop */
      <_spin_lock+22>:	retq
      
      One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
      optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
      instrumentation/debugging enabled).  That will remove the outer
      call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
      call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
      case.  The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
      preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
      fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
      already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
      magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
      
      The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks.  Making them a
      separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
      enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
      But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
      is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
      whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
      performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
      system CPU when guests block rather than spin).  Still it is a
      reasonable short-term workaround.
