Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d20, as it crashes certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models. Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking framework: * missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831 * makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in deeper C-states: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20 Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage. According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These errors are seen as error interrupts. The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI. When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt, the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register programmed as such as well. This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to 0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will signal illegal vector error interrupts. This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

This fixes problems seen on UV systems handling NMIs from the node controller. I isolated the "dazed..." messages that I saw earlier to a bug in the BMC on our platform. It was sending NMIs w/o properly setting a register that indicated the source of NMI. So rather than _assuming_ any unhandled NMI came from the UV system maintenance console (SMC), add a check to verify that the SMC actually sent the NMI.

Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum 400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should not be set for these parts. This addresses regression introduced by commit b87cf80a ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processors") where the system may become unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input) occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

We use io_apic_setup_irq_pin() in order to configure pin's interrupt number polarity and type. This is done on every irq_create_of_mapping() which happens for instance during pci enable calls. Level typed interrupts are masked by default, edge are unmasked. On the first ->xlate() call the level interrupt is configured and masked. The driver calls request_irq() and the line is unmasked. Lets assume the interrupt line is shared with another device and we call pci_enable_device() for this device. The ->xlate() configures the pin again and it is masked. request_irq() does not unmask the line because it _is_ already unmasked according to its internal state. So the interrupt will never be unmasked again. This patch is based on an earlier work by Torben Hohn and solves the problem by configuring the pin only once. Since all devices must agree on the same type and polarity there is no point in configuring the pin more than once.

It was noticed that P4 machines were generating double NMIs for each perf event. These extra NMIs lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages on the screen. I tracked this down to a P4 quirk that said the overflow bit had to be cleared before re-enabling the apic LVT mask. My first attempt was to move the un-masking inside the perf nmi handler from before the chipset NMI handler to after. This broke Nehalem boxes that seem to like the unmasking before the counters themselves are re-enabled. In order to keep this change simple for 2.6.39, I decided to just simply move the apic LVT un-masking to the beginning of all the chipset NMI handlers, with the exception of Pentium4's to fix the double NMI issue. Later on we can move the un-masking to later in the handlers to save a number of 'extra' NMIs on those particular chipsets. I tested this change on a P4 machine, an AMD machine, a Nehalem box, and a core2quad box. 'perf top' worked correctly along with various other small 'perf record' runs. Anything high stress breaks all the machines but that is a different problem. Thanks to various people for testing different versions of this patch.

On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus, when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.

Andi Kleen pointed out that the Intel offcore support patches were merged without user-space tool support to the functionality: | | The offcore_msr perf kernel code was merged into 2.6.39-rc*, but the | user space bits were not. This made it impossible to set the extra mask | and actually do the OFFCORE profiling | Andi submitted a preliminary patch for user-space support, as an extension to perf's raw event syntax: | | Some raw events -- like the Intel OFFCORE events -- support additional | parameters. These can be appended after a ':'. | | For example on a multi socket Intel Nehalem: | | perf stat -e r1b7:20ff -a sleep 1 | | Profile the OFFCORE_RESPONSE.ANY_REQUEST with event mask REMOTE_DRAM_0 | that measures any access to DRAM on another socket. | But this kind of usability is absolutely unacceptable - users should not be expected to type in magic, CPU and model specific incantations to get access to useful hardware functionality. The proper solution is to expose useful offcore functionality via generalized events - that way users do not have to care which specific CPU model they are using, they can use the conceptual event and not some model specific quirky hexa number. We already have such generalization in place for CPU cache events, and it's all very extensible. "Offcore" events measure general DRAM access patters along various parameters. They are particularly useful in NUMA systems. We want to support them via generalized DRAM events: either as the fourth level of cache (after the last-level cache), or as a separate generalization category. That way user-space support would be very obvious, memory access profiling could be done via self-explanatory commands like: perf record -e dram ./myapp perf record -e dram-remote ./myapp ... to measure DRAM accesses or more expensive cross-node NUMA DRAM accesses. These generalized events would work on all CPUs and architectures that have comparable PMU features. ( Note, these are just examples: actual implementation could have more sophistication and more parameter - as long as they center around similarly simple usecases. ) Now we do not want to revert *all* of the current offcore bits, as they are still somewhat useful for generic last-level-cache events, implemented in this commit: e994d7d2: perf: Fix LLC-* events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere But we definitely do not yet want to expose the unstructured raw events to user-space, until better generalization and usability is implemented for these hardware event features. ( Note: after generalization has been implemented raw offcore events can be supported as well: there can always be an odd event that is marginally useful but not useful enough to generalize. DRAM profiling is definitely *not* such a category so generalization must be done first. ) Furthermore, PERF_TYPE_RAW access to these registers was not intended to go upstream without proper support - it was a side-effect of the above e994d7d2 commit, not mentioned in the changelog. As v2.6.39 is nearing release we go for the simplest approach: disable the PERF_TYPE_RAW offcore hack for now, before it escapes into a released kernel and becomes an ABI. Once proper structure is implemented for these hardware events and users are offered usable solutions we can revisit this issue.

This may result in some nodes being completely void of cpus, which doesn't accurately represent the correct topology. The system will boot, but will have suboptimal NUMA performance. This commit was intended as a fix for NUMA emulation, but should not cause a regression for real NUMA machines as a side effect.

Round robin assignment doesn't work because init_numa_sched_groups_power() assumes all logical cpus in the same physical cpu share the same node (then it only accounts for group_first_cpu()), and the simple round robin breaks the above assumption. Thus, this patch implements a reassignment of node-ids if buggy firmware or numa emulation makes wrong cpu node map. Tt enforce all logical cpus in the same physical cpu share the same node.

Restore the initialization of mmu_cr4_features during boot, which was removed without comment in checkin e5f15b45 x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded thereby breaking resume from hibernate. This restores previous functionality in approximately the same place, and corrects the reading of %cr4 on pre-CPUID hardware (%cr4 exists if and only if CPUID is supported.) However, part of the problem is that the hibernate suspend/resume sequence should manage the save/restore of %cr4 explicitly. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rafael J.

The MCE subsystem needs to sample an RCU-protected index outside of any protection for that index. If this was a pointer, we would use rcu_access_pointer(), but there is no corresponding rcu_access_index(). This commit therefore creates an rcu_access_index() and applies it to MCE.

On laptops with core i5/i7, there were reports that after resume graphics workloads were performing poorly on a specific AP, while the other cpu's were ok. This was observed on a 32bit kernel specifically. Debug showed that the PAT init was not happening on that AP during resume and hence it contributing to the poor workload performance on that cpu. On this system, resume flow looked like this: 1. BP starts the resume sequence and we reinit BP's MTRR's/PAT early on using mtrr_bp_restore() 2. Resume sequence brings all AP's online 3. Resume sequence now kicks off the MTRR reinit on all the AP's. 4. For some reason, between point 2 and 3, we moved from BP to one of the AP's. My guess is that printk() during resume sequence is contributing to this. We don't see similar behavior with the 64bit kernel but there is no guarantee that at this point the remaining resume sequence (after AP's bringup) has to happen on BP. 5. set_mtrr() was assuming that we are still on BP and skipped the MTRR/PAT init on that cpu (because of 1 above) 6. But we were on an AP and this led to not reprogramming PAT on this cpu leading to bad performance. Fix this by doing unconditional mtrr_if->set_all() in set_mtrr() during MTRR/PAT init. This might be unnecessary if we are still running on BP. But it is of no harm and will guarantee that after resume, all the cpu's will be in sync with respect to the MTRR/PAT registers.

Currently, microcode doesn't unregister syscore_ops after it's unloaded. So if we modprobe then rmmod microcode, the stale microcode syscore_ops info will stay on syscore_ops_list. Later when we're trying to reboot/halt/shutdown the machine, kernel will panic on syscore_shutdown(). With the patch applied, I can reboot/halt/shutdown my machine successfully.

Eric Dumazet reported that hardware PMU events do not work on his system, due to the BIOS corrupting PMU state: Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Broken BIOS detected, using software events only. [Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 186 is 43003c) Linus suggested that we continue in the face of such BIOS-induced CPU state corruption: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/24/608 Such BIOSes will have to be fixed - Linux developers rely on a working and fully capable PMU and the BIOS interfering with the CPU's PMU state is simply not acceptable. So this patch changes perf to continue when it detects such BIOS interaction, some hardware events may be unreliable due to the BIOS writing and re-writing them - there's not much the kernel can do about that but to detect the corruption and report it.

The read of a proper MSR register was missed and instead of counter the configration register was tested (it has ARCH_P4_UNFLAGGED_BIT always cleared) leading to unknown NMI hitting the system. As result the user may obtain "Dazed and confused, but trying to continue" message. Fix it by reading a proper MSR register. When an NMI happens on a P4, the perf nmi handler checks the configuration register to see if the overflow bit is set or not before taking appropriate action. Unfortunately, various P4 machines had a broken overflow bit, so a backup mechanism was implemented. This mechanism checked to see if the counter rolled over or not. A previous commit that implemented this backup mechanism was broken. Instead of reading the counter register, it used the configuration register to determine if the counter rolled over or not. Reading that bit would give incorrect results. This would lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages for the end user when using the perf tool (or if the nmi watchdog is running). The fix is to read the counter register before determining if the counter rolled over or not.

crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup() to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64 and powerpc.
