      x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix · 99fb4d34
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
      
      rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
      dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
      does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
      
      So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
      support it.

      x86: support always running TSC on Intel CPUs · 40fb1715
      Venki Pallipadi 提交于
      Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc.
      
      Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means
      that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant
      frequency.
      
      With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes
      * CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states
      * CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states
      * CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep
        C-states.
      
      To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a
      second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at
      constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates
      that TSC does not stop in deep C-states.
      
      CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set.
      We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel
      CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as
      those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.

      x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place · 774400a3
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions
      (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg
      and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific
      file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when
      they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the
      compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled.
      
      This patch moves these functions to a new
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cmpxchg.c file, unconditionally compiled when
      X86_32 is enabled.

      movsl_mask is currently defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c, which

      x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternatives · 593f4a78
      Maciej W. Rozycki 提交于
      Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
      for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time.  Remove the
      X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
      apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
      ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum.  Remove
      apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
      Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends.  The use of
      ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
      used it for readability's sake.
      
      I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
      and here it is.  Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
      with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
      "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
      expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
      Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
      it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
      have disregarded it.
      
      I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
      and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
      have left changes to them out.  The option will get removed from them at
      the next run.
      
      Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
      stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
      intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
      everywhere.

      x86, ptrace: PEBS support · 93fa7636
      Markus Metzger 提交于
      Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.
      
      Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
      BTS and PEBS recording.
      It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
      It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
      It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.
      
      Changes in detail:
      - guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
      - separate DS and BTS more clearly
      - simplify field accesses
      - add functions to manage PEBS buffers
      - add simple protection/allocation mechanism
      - added support for Atom
      
      Opens:
      - buffer overflow handling
        Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
        for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
        This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
        interface.
      - utrace intermediate layer

      x86: fall back on interrupt disable in cmpxchg8b on 80386 and 80486 · 2c0b8a75
      Mathieu Desnoyers 提交于
      Actually, on 386, cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local fall back on
      cmpxchg_386_u8/16/32: it disables interruptions around non atomic
      updates to mimic the cmpxchg behavior.
      
      The comment:
      /* Poor man's cmpxchg for 386. Unsuitable for SMP */
      
      already present in cmpxchg_386_u32 tells much about how this cmpxchg
      implementation should not be used in a SMP context. However, the cmpxchg_local
      can perfectly use this fallback, since it only needs to be atomic wrt the local
      cpu.
      
      This patch adds a cmpxchg_486_u64 and uses it as a fallback for cmpxchg64
      and cmpxchg64_local on 80386 and 80486.
      
      Q:
      but why is it called cmpxchg_486 when the other functions are called
      
      A:
      Because the standard cmpxchg is missing only on 386, but cmpxchg8b is
      missing both on 386 and 486.
      
      Citing Intel's Instruction set reference:
      
      cmpxchg:
      This instruction is not supported on Intel processors earlier than the
      Intel486 processors.
      
      cmpxchg8b:
      This instruction encoding is not supported on Intel processors earlier
      than the Pentium processors.
      
      Q:
      What's the reason to have cmpxchg64_local on 32 bit architectures?
      Without that need all this would just be a few simple defines.
      
      A:
      cmpxchg64_local on 32 bits architectures takes unsigned long long
      parameters, but cmpxchg_local only takes longs. Since we have cmpxchg8b
      to execute a 8 byte cmpxchg atomically on pentium and +, it makes sense
      to provide a flavor of cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local using this instruction.
      
      Also, for 32 bits architectures lacking the 64 bits atomic cmpxchg, it
      makes sense _not_ to define cmpxchg64 while cmpxchg could still be
      available.
      
      Moreover, the fallback for cmpxchg8b on i386 for 386 and 486 is a
      
      However, cmpxchg64_local will be emulated by disabling interrupts on all
      architectures where it is not supported atomically.
      
      Therefore, we *could* turn cmpxchg64_local into a cmpxchg_local, but it
      would make the 386/486 fallbacks ugly, make its design different from
      cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 (which really depends on atomic operations and cannot
      be emulated) and require the __cmpxchg_local to be expressed as a macro
      rather than an inline function so the parameters would not be fixed to
      unsigned long long in every case.
      
      So I think cmpxchg64_local makes sense there, but I am open to
      suggestions.
      
      Q:
      Are there any callers?
      
      A:
      I am actually using it in LTTng in my timestamping code. I use it to
      work around CPUs with asynchronous TSCs. I need to update 64 bits
      values atomically on this 32 bits architecture.
