We are using the same vector for nested/non-nested posted interrupts delivery, this may cause interrupts latency in L1 since we can't kick the L2 vcpu out of vmx-nonroot mode. This patch introduces a new vector which is only for nested posted interrupts to solve the problems above.

Currently, we use a global vector as the Posted-Interrupts Notification Event for all the vCPUs in the system. We need to introduce another global vector for VT-d Posted-Interrtups, which will be used to wakeup the sleep vCPU when an external interrupt from a direct-assigned device happens for that vCPU.

Deferred errors indicate error conditions that were not corrected, but require no action from S/W (or action is optional).These errors provide info about a latent UC MCE that can occur when a poisoned data is consumed by the processor. Processors that report these errors can be configured to generate APIC interrupts to notify OS about the error.

When X86_LOCAL_APIC (i.e. unconditionally on x86-64), first_system_vector will never end up being higher than LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR (0xef), and hence building stubs for vectors 0xef...0xff is pointlessly reducing code density. Deal with this at build time already. Taking into consideration that X86_64 implies X86_LOCAL_APIC, also simplify (and hence make easier to read and more consistent with the change done here) some #if-s in arch/x86/kernel/irqinit.c. While we could further improve the packing of the IRQ entry stubs (the four ones now left in the last set could be fit into the four padding bytes each of the final four sets have) this doesn't seem to provide any real benefit: Both irq_entries_start and common_interrupt getting cache line aligned, eliminating the 30th set would just produce 32 bytes of padding between the 29th and common_interrupt.

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.

There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page. It contains a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other code. Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the middle. This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them. The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the development tree. This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

Make the maxium TLB invalidate vectors depend on NR_CPUS linearly, with a maximum of 32 vectors. We currently only have 8 vectors for TLB invalidation and that is clearly inadequate. If we have a lot of CPUs, the CPUs need share the 8 vectors and tlbstate_lock is used to protect them. flush_tlb_page() is heavily used in page reclaim, which will cause a lot of lock contention for tlbstate_lock. Andi Kleen suggested increasing the vectors number to 32, which should be good for current typical systems to reduce the tlbstate_lock contention. My test system has 4 sockets and 64G memory, and 64 CPUs. My workload creates 64 processes. Each process mmap reads a big empty sparse file. The total size of the files are 2*total_mem, so this will cause a lot of page reclaim. Below is the result I get from perf call-graph profiling: without the patch: ------------------ 24.25% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock | |--42.15%-- native_flush_tlb_others with the patch: ------------------ 14.96% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock | --- _raw_spin_lock |--13.89%-- native_flush_tlb_others So this heavily reduces the tlbstate_lock contention.

Provide a mechanism that allows running code in IRQ context. It is most useful for NMI code that needs to interact with the rest of the system -- like wakeup a task to drain buffers. Perf currently has such a mechanism, so extract that and provide it as a generic feature, independent of perf so that others may also benefit. The IRQ context callback is generated through self-IPIs where possible, or on architectures like powerpc the decrementer (the built-in timer facility) is set to generate an interrupt immediately. Architectures that don't have anything like this get to do with a callback from the timer tick. These architectures can call irq_work_run() at the tail of any IRQ handlers that might enqueue such work (like the perf IRQ handler) to avoid undue latencies in processing the work.

After talking to some more folks inside intel (Peter Anvin, Asit Mallick), the safest option (for future compatibility etc) seen was to use vector 0x20 for IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR instead of using vector 0x1f (which is documented as reserved vector in the Intel IA32 manuals). Also we don't need to reserve the entire privilege level (all 16 vectors in the priority bucket that IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR falls into), as the x86 architecture (section 10.9.3 in SDM Vol3a) specifies that with in the priority level, the higher the vector number the higher the priority. And hence we don't need to reserve the complete priority level 0x20-0x2f for the IRQ migration cleanup logic. So change the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to 0x20 and allow 0x21-0x2f to be used for device interrupts. 0x30-0x3f will be used for ISA interrupts (these also can be migrated in the context of IOAPIC and hence need to be at a higher priority level than IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR).

We want to use a vector-assignment sequence that avoids stumbling onto 0x80 earlier in the sequence, in order to improve the spread of vectors across priority levels on machines with a small number of interrupt sources. Right now, this is done by simply making the first vector (0x31 or 0x41) completely unusable. This is unnecessary; all we need is to start assignment at a +1 offset, we don't actually need to prohibit the usage of this vector once we have wrapped around. Signed-off-by: NH.

Reclaim 16 IDT vectors and make them available for general allocation. Reclaim vectors 0x20-0x2f by reallocating the IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR to vector 0x1f. This is in the range of vector numbers that is officially reserved for the CPU (for exceptions), however, the use of the APIC to generate any vector 0x10 or above is documented, and the CPU internally can receive any vector number (the legacy BIOS uses INT 0x08-0x0f for interrupts, as messed up as that is.) Since IRQ_MOVE_CLEANUP_VECTOR has to be alone in the lowest-numbered priority level (block of 16), this effectively enables us to reclaim an otherwise-unusable APIC priority level and put it to use. Since this is a transient kernel-only allocation we can change it at any time, and if/when there is an exception at vector 0x1f this assignment needs to be changed as part of OS enabling that new feature.

For some time each panic() called with interrupts disabled triggered the !irqs_disabled() WARN_ON in smp_call_function(), producing ugly backtraces and confusing users. This is a common situation with machine checks for example which tend to call panic with interrupts disabled, but will also hit in other situations e.g. panic during early boot. In fact it means that panic cannot be called in many circumstances, which would be bad. This all started with the new fancy queued smp_call_function, which is then used by the shutdown path to shut down the other CPUs. On closer examination it turned out that the fancy RCU smp_call_function() does lots of things not suitable in a panic situation anyways, like allocating memory and relying on complex system state. I originally tried to patch this over by checking for panic there, but it was quite complicated and the original patch was also not very popular. This also didn't fix some of the underlying complexity problems. The new code in post 2.6.29 tries to patch around this by checking for oops_in_progress, but that is not enough to make this fully safe and I don't think that's a real solution because panic has to be reliable. So instead use an own vector to reboot. This makes the reboot code extremly straight forward, which is definitely a big plus in a panic situation where it is important to avoid relying on too much kernel state. The new simple code is also safe to be called from interupts off region because it is very very simple. There can be situations where it is important that panic is reliable. For example on a fatal machine check the panic is needed to get the system up again and running as quickly as possible. So it's important that panic is reliable and all function it calls simple. This is why I came up with this simple vector scheme. It's very hard to beat in simplicity. Vectors are not particularly precious anymore since all big systems are using per CPU vectors. Another possibility would have been to use an NMI similar to kdump, but there is still the problem that NMIs don't work reliably on some systems due to BIOS issues. NMIs would have been able to stop CPUs running with interrupts off too. In the sake of universal reliability I opted for using a non NMI vector for now. I put the reboot vector into the highest priority bucket of the APIC vectors and moved the 64bit UV_BAU message down instead into the next lower priority.

Machine checks support waking up the mcelog daemon quickly. The original wake up code for this was pretty ugly, relying on a idle notifier and a special process flag. The reason it did it this way is that the machine check handler is not subject to normal interrupt locking rules so it's not safe to call wake_up(). Instead it set a process flag and then either did the wakeup in the syscall return or in the idle notifier. This patch adds a new "bootstraping" method as replacement. The idea is that the handler checks if it's in a state where it is unsafe to call wake_up(). If it's safe it calls it directly. When it's not safe -- that is it interrupted in a critical section with interrupts disables -- it uses a new "self IPI" to trigger an IPI to its own CPU. This can be done safely because IPI triggers are atomic with some care. The IPI is raised once the interrupts are reenabled and can then safely call wake_up(). When APICs are disabled the event is just queued and will be picked up eventually by the next polling timer. I think that's a reasonable compromise, since it should only happen quite rarely.

Implement set_perf_counter_pending() with a self-IPI so that it will run ASAP in a usable context. For now use a second IRQ vector, because the primary vector pokes the apic in funny ways that seem to confuse things.
