The upcoming Moorestown support brings the embedded world to x86. The setup code of x86 has already a couple of hooks which are either x86_quirks or paravirt ops. Some of those setup hooks are pretty convoluted like the timer setup and the tsc calibration code. But there are other places which could do with a cleanup. Instead of having inline functions/macros which are modified at compile time I decided to introduce x86_init ops which are unconditional in the code and make it clear that they can be changed either during compile time or in the early boot process. The function pointers are initialized by default functions which can be noops so that the pointer can be called unconditionally in the most cases. This also allows us to remove 32bit/64bit, paravirt and other #ifdeffery. paravirt guests are just a hardware platform in the setup code, so we should treat them as such and not hide all behind multiple layers of indirection and compile time dependencies. It's more obvious that x86_init.timers.timer_init() is a function pointer than the late_time_init = choose_time_init() obscurity. It's also way simpler to grep for x86_init.timers.timer_init and find all the places which modify that function pointer instead of analyzing weak functions, macros and paravirt indirections. Note. This is not a general paravirt_ops replacement. It just will move setup related hooks which are potentially useful for other platform setup purposes as well out of the paravirt domain. Add the base infrastructure without any functionality. Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment. However, the current ordering of sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need for the bogus data.init2 segment. Once touching this code, also use the various data section helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. -v2: fix !SMP builds.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
As noted in 83d349f3 ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying reason for why those empty mask cases happened. This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is empty. The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that, the cpumask was no longer thread-local. Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of 'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other CPU's having flushed their own TLB's. See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933 for details.

The default_send_IPI_mask_logical() function uses the "flat" APIC mode to send an IPI to a set of CPU's at once, but if that set happens to be empty, some older local APIC's will apparently be rather unhappy. So just warn if a caller gives us an empty mask, and ignore it. This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.x, due to commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), documented here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933 which causes a silent lock-up. It only seems to happen on PPro, P2, P3 and Athlon XP cores. Most developers sadly (or not so sadly, if you're a developer..) have more modern CPU's. Also, on x86-64 we don't use the flat APIC mode, so it would never trigger there even if the APIC didn't like sending an empty IPI mask.

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at some places and interrupts disabled at some other places. This results in a deadlock in this scenario. cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus. This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock. Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier chain. This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

The problem is caused by this detail in my config: # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk workaround needed on this CPU: if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0) mce_banks[0].init = 0; The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got disabled in the config). Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as well. Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU support is rare - but still being more defensive in something we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows 'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top' and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling method. ( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled permanently by the hardware then this fallback still allows more systems to use perfcounters. ) Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC. -v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...

Johannes Stezenbach reported that 'perf stat' does not count cache-miss and cache-references events on his Pentium-M based laptop. This is because we left them blank in p6_perfmon_event_map[], fill them in.

Instead of this garbled bootup on UP Pentium-M systems: [ 0.015048] Performance Counters: [ 0.016004] no Local APIC, try rebooting with lapicno PMU driver, software counters only. Print: [ 0.015050] Performance Counters: [ 0.016004] no APIC, boot with the "lapic" boot parameter to force-enable it. [ 0.017003] no PMU driver, software counters only.
