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.

cpu_has_amd_erratum() is buggy, because it uses the per-cpu cpu_info before it is filled by smp_store_boot_cpu_info() / smp_store_cpu_info(). If early microcode loading is enabled its collect_cpu_info_amd_early() will fill ->x86 and so the fallback to boot_cpu_data is not used. But ->x86_vendor was not filled and is still X86_VENDOR_INTEL resulting in no errata fixes getting applied and my system hangs on boot. Using cpu_info in cpu_has_amd_erratum() is wrong anyway: its only caller init_amd() will have a struct cpuinfo_x86 as parameter and the set_cpu_bug() that is controlled by cpu_has_amd_erratum() also only uses that struct. So pass the struct cpuinfo_x86 from init_amd() to cpu_has_amd_erratum() and the broken fallback can be dropped.

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.

The idea with those routines is to slowly phase them out and not call them on anything else besides K8. They even have a check for that which, when called too early, fails. Let me explain: It gets the cpuinfo_x86 pointer from the per_cpu array and when this happens for cpu0, before its boot_cpu_data has been copied back to the per_cpu array in smp_store_boot_cpu_info(), we get an empty struct and thus the check fails.

The Way Access Filter in recent AMD CPUs may hurt the performance of some workloads, caused by aliasing issues in the L1 cache. This patch disables it on the affected CPUs. The issue is similar to that one of last year: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1107.3/00041.html This new patch does not replace the old one, we just need another quirk for newer CPUs. The performance penalty without the patch depends on the circumstances, but is a bit less than the last year's 3%. The workloads affected would be those that access code from the same physical page under different virtual addresses, so different processes using the same libraries with ASLR or multiple instances of PIE-binaries. The code needs to be accessed simultaneously from both cores of the same compute unit. More details can be found here: http://developer.amd.com/Assets/SharedL1InstructionCacheonAMD15hCPU.pdf CPUs affected are anything with the core known as Piledriver. That includes the new parts of the AMD A-Series (aka Trinity) and the just released new CPUs of the FX-Series (aka Vishera). The model numbering is a bit odd here: FX CPUs have model 2, A-Series has model 10h, with possible extensions to 1Fh. Hence the range of model ids.

f7f286a9 ("x86/amd: Re-enable CPU topology extensions in case BIOS has disabled it") wrongfully added code which used the AMD-specific {rd,wr}msr variants for no real reason. This caused boot panics on xen which wasn't initializing the {rd,wr}msr_safe_regs pv_ops members properly. This, in turn, caused a heated discussion leading to us reviewing all uses of the AMD-specific variants and removing them where unneeded (almost everywhere except an obscure K8 BIOS fix, see 6b0f43dd). Finally, this patch switches to the standard {rd,wr}msr*_safe* variants which should've been used in the first place anyway and avoided unneeded excitation with xen.

It's only called from amd.c:srat_detect_node(). The introduced condition for calling the fixup code is true for all AMD multi-node processors, e.g. Magny-Cours and Interlagos. There we have 2 NUMA nodes on one socket. Thus there are cores having different numa-node-id but with equal phys_proc_id. There is no point to print error messages in such a situation. The confusing/misleading error message was introduced with commit 64be4c1c ("x86: Add x86_init platform override to fix up NUMA core numbering"). Remove the default fixup function (especially the error message) and replace it by a NULL pointer check, move the Numascale-specific condition for calling the fixup into the fixup-function itself and slightly adapt the comment.

Stephane Eranian reported that doing a scheduler latency measurements with perf on AMD doesn't work out as expected due to the fact that the sched_clock() granularity is too coarse, i.e. done in jiffies due to the sched_clock_stable not set, which, if set, would mean that we get to use the TSC as sample source which would give us much higher precision. However, there's no reason not to set sched_clock_stable on AMD because all families from F10h and upwards do have an invariant TSC and have the CPUID flag to prove (CPUID_8000_0007_EDX[8]).

People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit bcb80e53 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to /proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into "early_init_amd()". At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables haven't even been set up yet, so the whole rdmsr_safe(MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL, &c->microcode, &dummy); doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails. Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot (init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point (or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and updated if you do a microcode load).

This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

Commit b87cf80a added support for ARAT (Always Running APIC timer) on AMD processors that are not affected by erratum 400. This erratum is present on certain processor families and prevents APIC timer from waking up the CPU when it is in a deep C state, including C1E state. Determining whether a processor is affected by this erratum may have some corner cases and handling these cases is somewhat complicated. In the interest of simplicity we won't claim ARAT support on processor families below 0x12 and will go back to broadcasting timer when going idle.

The workaround for Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33012 introduced a read and a write to the MC4 mask msr. Unfortunatly this MSR is not emulated by the KVM hypervisor so that the kernel will get a #GP and crashes when applying this workaround when running inside KVM. This issue was reported as: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35132 and is fixed with this patch. The change just let the kernel ignore any #GP it gets while accessing this MSR by using the _safe msr access methods.
