kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, i386) This patch upgrades the i386-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel. The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd. Signed-off-by: NMagnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without taking account of either whitespace, null-termination, the old command-line protocol, late overrides early, or the fact that the command line may not be reachable from INITSEG. This should fix those problems, and enable us to use a longer command line. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Based on a idea by Jeremy Fitzhardinge: Replace the volatiles and memory clobbers in the PDA access with telling gcc about access to a proxy PDA structure that doesn't actually exist. But the dummy accesses give a defined ordering for read/write accesses. Also add some memory barriers to the early GS initialization to make sure no PDA access is moved before it. Advantage is some .text savings (probably most from better code for accessing "current"): text data bss dec hex filename 4845647 1223688 615864 6685199 66020f vmlinux 4837780 1223688 615864 6677332 65e354 vmlinux-pda 1.2% smaller code Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as well, just in case. In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the data segment instead of a separate one. I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else. If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the effort. The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them. I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly. The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the moment to support this in the future. It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0 (i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what the i386 patch uses. AK: dropped NOTES addition right now because the needed infrastructure for that is not merged yet Signed-off-by: NIan Campbell <ian.campbell@xensource.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

In long mode the %cs is largely a relic. However there are a few cases like iret where it matters that we have a valid value. Without this patch it is possible to enter the kernel in startup_64 without setting %cs to a valid value. With this patch we don't care what %cs value we enter the kernel with, so long as the cs shadow register indicates it is a privileged code segment. Thanks to Magnus Damm for finding this problem and posting the first workable patch. I have moved the jump to set %cs down a few instructions so we don't need to take an extra jump. Which keeps the code simpler. Signed-of-by: NEric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Based on patch from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>, but changed by AK. Optimizes the 64-bit hamming weight for x86_64 processors assuming they have fast multiplication. Uses five fewer bitops than the generic hweight64. Benchmark on one EMT64 showed ~25% speedup with 2^24 consecutive calls. Define a new ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER that can be set by other architectures that can also multiply fast. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

When compiling a 64-bit kernel on an Ubuntu 6.06 32bit system (whose GCC is also a cross-compiler for x86_64) I've seen that head.o is compiled as a 64-bit file (while it should not) and ld complaining about this during linking: [AK: it happens on all systems with new binutils] ld: warning: i386:x86-64 architecture of input file `arch/x86_64/boot/compressed/head.o' is incompatible with i386 output I've verified that removing -m64 from compilation flags to turn "-m64 -traditional -m32" into "-traditional -m32" fixes the issue.

ACPI went to great trouble to get the APIC version and CPU capabilities of different CPUs before passing them to the mpparser. But all that data was used was to print it out.

And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id. The function was originally added to get some basic oops information out even if the GS register was corrupted. However that didn't work for some anymore because printk is needed to print the oops and it uses smp_processor_id() already. Also GS register corruptions are not particularly common anymore. This also helps the Xen port which would otherwise need to do this in a special way because it can't access the local APIC.

From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area. That was needed on some old systems. But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems and mark all areas that are not memory correctly. This patch will allow to use the real memory in there. Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to try. So far I'm optimistic. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

由 Arjan van de Ven 提交于
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every* context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context switch. The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously). After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.
