When switching tasks in a Xen PV guest, avoid updating the TLS descriptors if they haven't changed. This improves the speed of context switches by almost 10% as much of the time the descriptors are the same or only one is different. The descriptors written into the GDT by Xen are modified from the values passed in the update_descriptor hypercall so we keep shadow copies of the three TLS descriptors to compare against. lmbench3 test Before After Improvement -------------------------------------------- lat_ctx -s 32 24 7.19 6.52 9% lat_pipe 12.56 11.66 7% Signed-off-by: NDavid Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: NKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

When constructing the initial page tables, if the MFN for a usable PFN is missing in the p2m then that frame is initially ballooned out. In this case, zero the PTE (as in decrease_reservation() in drivers/xen/balloon.c). This is obviously safe instead of having an valid PTE with an MFN of INVALID_P2M_ENTRY (~0).

In xen_set_pte() if batching is unavailable (because the caller is in an interrupt context such as handling a page fault) it would fall back to using native_set_pte() and trapping and emulating the PTE write. On 32-bit guests this requires two traps for each PTE write (one for each dword of the PTE). Instead, do one mmu_update hypercall directly. During construction of the initial page tables, continue to use native_set_pte() because most of the PTEs being set are in writable and unpinned pages (see phys_pmd_init() in arch/x86/mm/init_64.c) and using a hypercall for this is very expensive. This significantly improves page fault performance in 32-bit PV guests. lmbench3 test Before After Improvement ---------------------------------------------- lat_pagefault 3.18 us 2.32 us 27% lat_proc fork 356 us 313.3 us 11% Signed-off-by: NDavid Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: NKonrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

there are 3 funcs which need to be _initcalled in a logic sequence: 1. xen_late_init_mcelog 2. mcheck_init_device 3. threshold_init_device xen_late_init_mcelog must register xen_mce_chrdev_device before native mce_chrdev_device registration if running under xen platform; mcheck_init_device should be inited before threshold_init_device to initialize mce_device, otherwise a a NULL ptr dereference will cause panic. so we use following _initcalls 1. device_initcall(xen_late_init_mcelog); 2. device_initcall_sync(mcheck_init_device); 3. late_initcall(threshold_init_device); when running under xen, the initcall order is 1,2,3; on baremetal, we skip 1 and we do only 2 and 3.

When MCA error occurs, it would be handled by Xen hypervisor first, and then the error information would be sent to initial domain for logging. This patch gets error information from Xen hypervisor and convert Xen format error into Linux format mcelog. This logic is basically self-contained, not touching other kernel components. By using tools like mcelog tool users could read specific error information, like what they did under native Linux.

The definition of 32-bit values in the 64-bit tilegx architecture is that they should be sign-extended regardless of whether they are considered signed or unsigned by the compiler. Accordingly, we need to use an "ld4s" rather than "ld4u" to load and sign-extend for get_user(). This fixes glibc bug 14238 (see http://sourceware.org/bugzilla), introduced during the 3.5 merge window. Signed-off-by: NChris Metcalf <cmetcalf@tilera.com>

When the frontend and the backend reside on the same domain, even if we add pages to the m2p_override, these pages will never be returned by mfn_to_pfn because the check "get_phys_to_machine(pfn) != mfn" will always fail, so the pfn of the frontend will be returned instead (resulting in a deadlock because the frontend pages are already locked).

A simplified call graph looks like this: pygrub QEMU ----------------------------------------------- do_read_cache_page io_submit | | lock_page ext3_direct_IO | bio_add_page | lock_page Internally the xen-blkback uses m2p_add_override to swizzle (temporarily) a 'struct page' to have a different MFN (so that it can point to another guest). It also can easily find out whether another pfn corresponding to the mfn exists in the m2p, and can set the FOREIGN bit in the p2m, making sure that mfn_to_pfn returns the pfn of the backend. This allows the backend to perform direct_IO on these pages, but as a side effect prevents the frontend from using get_user_pages_fast on them while they are being shared with the backend.

I noticed that the LBR fixups were not working anymore on programs where they used to. I tracked this down to a recent change to copy_from_user_nmi(): db0dc75d ("perf/x86: Check user address explicitly in copy_from_user_nmi()") This commit added a call to __range_not_ok() to the copy_from_user_nmi() routine. The problem is that the logic of the test must be reversed. __range_not_ok() returns 0 if the range is VALID. We want to return early from copy_from_user_nmi() if the range is NOT valid.

The reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is. To resolve this, I created a new #define, register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as __initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called during init of the kernel.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading a kernel module. According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame. In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call() (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used to generate trampoline code. This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper. Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame using r11 can cause an oops. The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is safe from an EABI perspective. I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2 broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation early page table space Robin found this regression: | I just tried to boot an 8TB system. It fails very early in boot with: | Kernel panic - not syncing: Cannot find space for the kernel page tables git bisect commit 722bc6b1. A git revert of that commit does boot past that point on the 8TB configuration. That commit will add up extra pages for all memory range even above 4g. Try to limit that extra page count adding to first entry only.

This reverts 68568add ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest. This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

Some UEFI firmware will not load a .efi with a .reloc section with a size of 0. Therefore, we create a .efi image with 4 main areas and 3 sections. 1. PE/COFF file header 2. .setup section (covers all setup code following the first sector) 3. .reloc section (contains 1 dummy reloc entry, created in build.c) 4. .text section (covers the remaining kernel image) To make room for the new .setup section data, the header bugger_off_msg had to be shortened.
