      x86: use standard PIT frequency · e1b4d114
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
      a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
      tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
      will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.
      
      So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
      x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

      This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
      we get to free the newly allocated one.
      
      This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
      which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.
      
      union {
          struct {
              unsigned long private;
              struct address_space *mapping;
          };
          spinlock_t ptl;
          struct kmem_cache *slab;
          struct page *first_page;
      };
      
      Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
      PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.
      
      But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
      lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.
      
      The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
      path __pte_free_tlb() does.
      
      It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
      nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
      doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This reverts commit 4217458d.
      
      Justin Madru bisected this commit, it was causing weird Firefox
      crashes.
      
      The reason is that GCC mis-optimizes (re-uses) the on-stack parameters of
      the calling frame, which corrupts the syscall return pt_regs state and
      thus corrupts user-space register state.
      
      So we go back to the slightly less clean but more optimization-safe
      method of getting to pt_regs. Also add a comment to explain this.

      x86: make x86_32 use tlb_64.c · 02cf94c3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: less contention when issuing invalidate IPI, cleanup
      
      Make x86_32 use the same tlb code as 64bit.  The 64bit code uses
      multiple IPI vectors for tlb shootdown to reduce contention.  This
      patch makes x86_32 allocate the same 8 IPIs as x86_64 and share the
      code paths.
      
      Note that the usage of asmlinkage is inconsistent for x86_32 and 64
      and calls for further cleanup.  This has been noted with a FIXME
      comment in tlb_64.c.

      Impact: clean up, ipi vector number reordering for x86_32
      
      Make the following changes to prepare for tlb merge.
      
      * reorder x86_32 ip vectors
      
      * adjust tlb_32.c and tlb_64.c such that their logics coincide exactly
      	- on spurious invalidate ipi, tlb_32 acks the irq
      	- tlb_64 now has proper memory barriers around clearing
                flush_cpumask (no change in generated code)
      
      * unexport flush_tlb_page from tlb_32.c, there's no user
      
      * use unsigned int for cpu id
      
      * drop unnecessary includes from tlb_64.c

      x86: uv cleanup · bdbcdd48
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Impact: cleanup
      
      Make the following uv related cleanups.
      
      * collect visible uv related definitions and interfaces into uv/uv.h
        and use it.  this cleans up the messy situation where on 64bit, uv
        is defined properly, on 32bit generic it's dummy and on the rest
        undefined.  after this clean up, uv is defined on 64 and dummy on
        32.
      
      * update uv_flush_tlb_others() such that it takes cpumask of
        to-be-flushed cpus as argument, instead of that minus self, and
        returns yet-to-be-flushed cpumask, instead of modifying the passed
        in parameter.  this interface change will ease dummy implementation
        of uv_flush_tlb_others() and makes uv tlb flush related stuff
        defined in tlb_uv proper.
