      x86: unify arch/x86/kernel/Makefile(s) · 6b0c3d44
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Combine the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles in one file.
      While doing so link order was (almost) preserved on 32 bit
      but on 64 bit link order changed a lot.
      
      Patch was checked with defconfig + allyesconfig builds.
      The same .o files were linked in these configurations.
      
      To keep readability of the Makefiles a few Kconfig
      symbols was added/modified and it was checked that
      they were not used anywhere else.

        before SMP is initialized.
      
      - Change local_flush_tlb() to __flush_tlb_all() to flush global page

      x86: FIFO ticket spinlocks · 314cdbef
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      Introduce ticket lock spinlocks for x86 which are FIFO. The implementation
      is described in the comments. The straight-line lock/unlock instruction
      sequence is slightly slower than the dec based locks on modern x86 CPUs,
      however the difference is quite small on Core2 and Opteron when working out of
      cache, and becomes almost insignificant even on P4 when the lock misses cache.
      trylock is more significantly slower, but they are relatively rare.
      
      On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable,
      with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and
      some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!)
      times. After this patch, all threads appear to finish at exactly the same
      time.
      
      The memory ordering of the lock does conform to x86 standards, and the
      implementation has been reviewed by Intel and AMD engineers.
      
      The algorithm also tells us how many CPUs are contending the lock, so
      lockbreak becomes trivial and we no longer have to waste 4 bytes per
      spinlock for it.
      
      After this, we can no longer spin on any locks with preempt enabled
      and cannot reenable interrupts when spinning on an irq safe lock, because
      at that point we have already taken a ticket and the would deadlock if
      the same CPU tries to take the lock again.  These are questionable anyway:
      if the lock happens to be called under a preempt or interrupt disabled section,
      then it will just have the same latency problems. The real fix is to keep
      critical sections short, and ensure locks are reasonably fair (which this
      patch does).

      spinlock: lockbreak cleanup · 95c354fe
      Nick Piggin 提交于
      The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty.
      Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to
      a potentially less optimal trylock.
      
      Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a
      __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether
      there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is
      not set.
      
      Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to
      decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks
      do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up
      with that break_lock then?).

      x86: EFI runtime service support · 5b83683f
      Huang, Ying 提交于
      This patch adds basic runtime services support for EFI x86_64 system.  The
      main file of the patch is the addition of efi_64.c for x86_64.  This file is
      modeled after the EFI IA32 avatar.  EFI runtime services initialization are
      implemented in efi_64.c.  Some x86_64 specifics are worth noting here.  On
      x86_64, parameters passed to EFI firmware services need to follow the EFI
      calling convention.  For this purpose, a set of functions named efi_call<x>
      (<x> is the number of parameters) are implemented.  EFI function calls are
      wrapped before calling the firmware service.  The duplicated code between
      efi_32.c and efi_64.c is placed in efi.c to remove them from efi_32.c.

      x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model · b263295d
      Christoph Lameter 提交于
      Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA.  Measurements
      indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem.  And
      FLATMEMs benefits are minimal.  So I think its best to simply standardize
      on sparsemem.
      
      Results of page allocator tests (test can be had via git from slab git
      tree branch tests)

      x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32 · af65d648
      Roland McGrath 提交于
      This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
      32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
      
      The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
      The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
      vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel.  That is, 1 means a randomized
      vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address.  The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
      option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
      it has for the 32-bit kernel.  (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
      
      The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
      set this paramter at boot time.  The vdso=[012] argument still does this
      same thing on the 32-bit kernel.

      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
      all.config.
      
      For a fix the diffstat is nice:
       6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
      
      The patch reverts these commits:
       - 0f855aa6 ("kconfig: add helper to set
         config symbol from environment variable")
       - 2a113281 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
         set 64BIT with all*config targets")
      
      Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
      the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
      not needed.
      
      With this patch we have following behaviour:
      
        # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
        option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit

        ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit
      
      The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
      precedence over the configuration.
      
      So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
      no matter what the configuration says.  The configuration will
      be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
      other way around.
      
      This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
      suprises here.
      
      make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
      the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
      and 64-bit using menuconfig.

      x86: start unification of arch/x86/Kconfig.* · e279b6c1
      Sam Ravnborg 提交于
      This step introduces the file arch/x86/Kconfig
      which contains all the menu's from "Power Management"
      and below.
      
      The main part of the new Kconfig file is shared
      and the remaining i386/x86_64 specific symbols
      are covered by dependencies.
      
      A x86_64 allmodconfig build did not show any differences.
