Experience has shown that struct mce which is used to pass an machine check to the user space daemon currently a few limitations. Also some data which is useful to print at panic level is also missing. This patch addresses most of them. The same information is also printed out together with mce panic. struct mce can be painlessly extended in a compatible way, the mcelog user space code just ignores additional fields with a warning. - It doesn't provide a wall time timestamp. There have been a few complaints about that. Fix that by adding a 64bit time_t - It doesn't provide the exact CPU identification. This makes it awkward for mcelog to decode the event correctly, especially when there are variations in the supported MCE codes on different CPU models or when mcelog is running on a different host after a panic. Previously the administrator had to specify the correct CPU when mcelog ran on a different host, but with the more variation in machine checks now it's better to auto detect that. It's also useful for more detailed analysis of CPU events. Pass CPUID 1.EAX and the cpu vendor (as encoded in processor.h) instead. - Socket ID and initial APIC ID are useful to report because they allow to identify the failing CPU in some (not all) cases. This is also especially useful for the panic situation. This addresses one of the complaints from Thomas Gleixner earlier. - The MCG capabilities MSR needs to be reported for some advanced error processing in mcelog Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NHidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

Allow user programs to write mce records into /dev/mcelog. When they do that a fake machine check is triggered to test the machine check code. This uses the MCE MSR wrappers added earlier. The implementation is straight forward. There is a struct mce record per CPU and the MCE MSR accesses get data from there if there is valid data injected there. This allows to test the machine check code relatively realistically because only the lowest layer of hardware access is intercepted. The test suite and injector are available at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-test.git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/cpu/mce/mce-inject.gitSigned-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant, is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU, has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate with user space etc. etc. Use the 64bit code for 32bit too. This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some trouble with K7s and was reverted. I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed. I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain all quirks. But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer 64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been already tested with the 64bit kernel. I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier, if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try with the CONFIG switched. The new code is default y for more coverage. Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily removed. This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now have to install the mcelog package to be able to log corrected machine checks. The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM. The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which have non standard machine check architectures, in particular WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native. It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized spinlocks introduced by: | commit 8efcbab6 | Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700 | | paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7% (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions executed). If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown). Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a no-pvops build as baseline: nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18% instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15% CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03% cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28% cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56% cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31% branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04% branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72% branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67% wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20% The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is directly reflected in the final wallclock time. (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside, the branch misses go up correspondingly...) So, what's the fix? Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30 <_spin_lock+22>: retq The indirect call will get patched to: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock> <_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */ <_spin_lock+22>: retq One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial. The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user). But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a reasonable short-term workaround.

Ed found that on 32-bit, boot_cpu_physical_apicid is not read right, when the mptable is broken. Interestingly, actually three paths use/set it: 1. acpi: at that time that is already read from reg 2. mptable: only read from mptable 3. no madt, and no mptable, that use default apic id 0 for 64-bit, -1 for 32-bit so we could read the apic id for the 2/3 path. We trust the hardware register more than we trust a BIOS data structure (the mptable). We can also avoid the double set_fixmap() when acpi_lapic is used, and also need to move cpu_has_apic earlier and call apic_disable(). Also when need to update the apic id, we'd better read and set the apic version as well - so that quirks are applied precisely. v2: make path 3 with 64bit, use -1 as apic id, so could read it later. v3: fix whitespace problem pointed out by Ed Swierk v5: fix boot crash [ Impact: get correct apic id for bsp other than acpi path ] Reported-by: NEd Swierk <eswierk@aristanetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Acked-by: NCyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> LKML-Reference: <49FC85A9.2070702@kernel.org> [ v4: sanity-check in the ACPI case too ] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

When interrupt-remapping is enabled, we are relying on setup_IO_APIC_irqs() to configure remapped entries in the IO-APIC, which comes little bit later after enabling interrupt-remapping. Meanwhile, restoration of old io-apic entries after enabling interrupt-remapping will not make the interrupts through io-apic functional anyway. So remove the unnecessary reinit_intr_remapped_IO_APIC() step. The longer story: When interrupt-remapping is enabled, IO-APIC entries need to be setup in the re-mappable format (pointing to interrupt-remapping table entries setup by the OS). This remapping configuration is happening in the same place where we traditionally configure IO-APIC (i.e., in setup_IO_APIC_irqs()). So when we enable interrupt-remapping successfully, there is no need to restore old io-apic RTE entries before we actually do a complete configuration shortly in setup_IO_APIC_irqs(). Old IO-APIC RTE's may be in traditional format (non re-mappable) or in re-mappable format pointing to interrupt-remapping table entries setup by BIOS. Restoring both of these will not make IO-APIC functional. We have to rely on setup_IO_APIC_irqs() for proper configuration by OS. So I am removing this unnecessary and broken step.

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

We do __pa() on it, and hand it to the host, which kills us. I've long wanted to make the hypercall "LOAD_GDT_ENTRY" to match the IDT code, but had no pressing reason until now.

Currently, when x2apic is not enabled, interrupt remapping will be enabled in init_dmars(), where it is too late to remap ioapic interrupts, that is, ioapic interrupts are really in compatibility mode, not remappable mode. This patch always enables interrupt remapping before ioapic setup, it guarantees all interrupts will be remapped when interrupt remapping is enabled. Thus it doesn't need to set the compatibility interrupt bit.

Shouldn't call ack_apic_edge() in ir_ack_apic_edge(), because ack_apic_edge() does more than just ack: it also does irq migration in the non-interrupt-remapping case. But there is no such need for interrupt-remapping case, as irq migration is done in the process context. Similarly, ir_ack_apic_level() shouldn't call ack_apic_level, and instead should do the local cpu's EOI + directed EOI to the io-apic. ack_x2APIC_irq() is not neccessary, because ack_APIC_irq() will use MSR write for x2apic, and uncached write for non-x2apic.

Impact: refactor, speed up and robustize code In case if apic was disabled by kernel option or by hardware limits we can use dummy operations in apic->write to simplify the ack_APIC_irq() code. At the lame time the patch fixes the missed EOI in do_IRQ function (which has place if kernel is compiled as X86-32 and interrupt without handler happens where apic was not asked to be disabled via kernel option). Note that native_apic_write_dummy() consists of WARN_ON_ONCE to catch any buggy writes on enabled APICs. Could be removed after some time of testing.
