It makes sense to label "Digital Thermal Sensor" as "DTS", but unfortunately the string "dts" was already used for "Debug Store", and /proc/cpuinfo is a user space ABI. Therefore, rename this to "dtherm". This conflict went into mainline via the hwmon tree without any x86 maintainer ack, and without any kind of hint in the subject. a4659053 x86/hwmon: fix initialization of coretemp Reported-by: NJean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/4FE34BCB.5050305@linux.intel.com Cc: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@suse.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> v2.6.36..v3.4 Signed-off-by: NH.

On x86-64, they were just wasteful: with the explicitly added (now unnecessary) padding, the size of the alternatives structure was 16 bytes, and an alignment of 8 bytes didn't hurt much. However, it was still silly, since the natural size and alignment for the structure is actually just 12 bytes, 4-byte aligned since commit 59e97e4d ("x86: Make alternative instruction pointers relative"). So removing the padding, and removing the extra alignment is just a good idea. On x86-32, the alignment of 4 bytes was correct, but was incorrectly hardcoded as 8 bytes in <asm/alternative-asm.h>. That header file had used to be an x86-64 only header file, but various unification efforts have made it be used for x86-32 too (ie the unification of rwlock and rwsem). That in turn caused x86-32 boot failures, because the extra alignment would result in random zero-filled words in the altinstructions section, causing oopses early at boot when doing alternative instruction replacement. So just remove all the alignment noise entirely. It's wrong, and it's unnecessary. The section itself is already properly aligned by the linker scripts, and all additions to the section had better be of the proper 12-byte format, keeping it aligned. So if the align directive were to ever make a difference, that would be an indication of a serious bug to begin with.

This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to 2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25% faster. Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread. The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using the SSE/YMM registers is not possible. With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%. Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running. For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s). Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case. Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer FTB-8510: frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta 64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0% 128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0% 256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3% 512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2% 1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3% 1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4% 1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0% 1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8% The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

A simple implementation that only supports the word size and does not have a fallback mode (would require a spinlock). Add 32 and 64 bit support for cmpxchg_double. cmpxchg double uses the cmpxchg8b or cmpxchg16b instruction on x86 processors to compare and swap 2 machine words. This allows lockless algorithms to move more context information through critical sections. Set a flag CONFIG_CMPXCHG_DOUBLE to signal that support for double word cmpxchg detection has been build into the kernel. Note that each subsystem using cmpxchg_double has to implement a fall back mechanism as long as we offer support for processors that do not implement cmpxchg_double. Reviewed-by: NH.

However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr.

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to extend the event scheduling and constraints. We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets. This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for this.

Booting a 32-bit kernel on Magny-Cours results in the following panic: ... Using APIC driver default ... Overriding APIC driver with bigsmp ... Getting VERSION: 80050010 Getting VERSION: 80050010 Getting ID: 10000000 Getting ID: ef000000 Getting LVT0: 700 Getting LVT1: 10000 Kernel panic - not syncing: Boot APIC ID in local APIC unexpected (16 vs 0) Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-rcX #2 Call Trace: [<c05194da>] ? panic+0x38/0xd3 [<c0743102>] ? native_smp_prepare_cpus+0x259/0x31f [<c073b19d>] ? kernel_init+0x3e/0x141 [<c073b15f>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x141 [<c020325f>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 The reason is that default_get_apic_id handled extension of local APIC ID field just in case of XAPIC. Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel panic. This patch introduces a Linux specific feature flag to indicate support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

setup_force_cpu_cap() only have one user (Xen guest code), but it should not reuse cleared_cpu_cpus, otherwise it will have problems on SMP. Need to have a separate cpu_cpus_set array too, for forced-on flags, beyond the forced-off flags. Also need to setup handling before all cpus caps are combined.
