      sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable' sched_clock() interface · f94c8d11
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Wanpeng Li reported that since the following commit:

  acb04058 ("sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash")

... KVM always runs with unstable sched-clock even though KVM's
kvm_clock _is_ stable.

The problem is that we've tied clear_sched_clock_stable() to the TSC
state, and overlooked that sched_clock() is a paravirt function.

Solve this by doing two things:

 - tie the sched_clock() stable state more clearly to the TSC stable
   state for the normal (!paravirt) case.

 - only call clear_sched_clock_stable() when we mark TSC unstable
   when we use native_sched_clock().

The first means we can actually run with stable sched_clock in more
situations then before, which is good. And since commit:

  12907fbb ("sched/clock, clocksource: Add optional cs::mark_unstable() method")

... this should be reliable. Since any detection of TSC fail now results
in marking the TSC unstable.

Create a trivial placeholder <linux/sched/clock.h> file that just

      After:

  a33d3317 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

our  SMT scheduling topology for Fam17h systems is broken, because
the ThreadId is included in the ApicId when SMT is enabled.

So, without further decoding cpu_core_id is unique for each thread
rather than the same for threads on the same core. This didn't affect
systems with SMT disabled. Make cpu_core_id be what it is defined to be.

      x86/CPU/AMD: Bring back Compute Unit ID · 79a8b9aa
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      Commit:

  a33d3317 ("x86/CPU/AMD: Fix Bulldozer topology")

restored the initial approach we had with the Fam15h topology of
enumerating CU (Compute Unit) threads as cores. And this is still
correct - they're beefier than HT threads but still have some
shared functionality.

Our current approach has a problem with the Mad Max Steam game, for
example. Yves Dionne reported a certain "choppiness" while playing on
v4.9.5.

That problem stems most likely from the fact that the CU threads share
resources within one CU and when we schedule to a thread of a different
compute unit, this incurs latency due to migrating the working set to a
different CU through the caches.

When the thread siblings mask mirrors that aspect of the CUs and
threads, the scheduler pays attention to it and tries to schedule within
one CU first. Which takes care of the latency, of course.

      sched/clock: Fix hotplug crash · acb04058
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug.

This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never
mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore
set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface.

The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all
relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable()
where appropriate.

Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64
and parisc are trivial in that they never called
set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to
clear_sched_clock_stable() to them.

For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to
do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta
have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now
get an explicit mark unstable.

      x86/bugs: Separate AMD E400 erratum and C1E bug · 3344ed30
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      The workaround for the AMD Erratum E400 (Local APIC timer stops in C1E
state) is a two step process:

 - Selection of the E400 aware idle routine

 - Detection whether the platform is affected

The idle routine selection happens for possibly affected CPUs depending on
family/model/stepping information. These range of CPUs is not necessarily
affected as the decision whether to enable the C1E feature is made by the
firmware. Unfortunately there is no way to query this at early boot.

The current implementation polls a MSR in the E400 aware idle routine to
detect whether the CPU is affected. This is inefficient on non affected
CPUs because every idle entry has to do the MSR read.

There is a better way to detect this before going idle for the first time
which requires to seperate the bug flags:

  X86_BUG_AMD_E400 	- Selects the E400 aware idle routine and
  			  enables the detection
			  
  X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E  - Set when the platform is affected by E400

Replace the current X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E usage by the new X86_BUG_AMD_E400
bug bit to select the idle routine which currently does an unconditional
detection poll. X86_BUG_AMD_APIC_C1E is going to be used in later patches
to remove the MSR polling and simplify the handling of this misfeature.

      x86/cpu/AMD: Clean up cpu_llc_id assignment per topology feature · b6a50cdd
      由 Yazen Ghannam 提交于 
      These changes do not affect current hw - just a cleanup:

Currently, we assume that a system has a single Last Level Cache (LLC)
per node, and that the cpu_llc_id is thus equal to the node_id. This no
longer applies since Fam17h can have multiple last level caches within a
node.

So group the cpu_llc_id assignment by topology feature and family in
order to make the computation of cpu_llc_id on the different families
more clear.

Here is how the LLC ID is being computed on the different families:

The NODEID_MSR feature only applies to Fam10h in which case the LLC is
at the node level.

The TOPOEXT feature is used on families 15h, 16h and 17h. So far we only
see multiple last level caches if L3 caches are available. Otherwise,
the cpu_llc_id will default to be the phys_proc_id.

We have L3 caches only on families 15h and 17h:

 - on Fam15h, the LLC is at the node level.

 - on Fam17h, the LLC is at the core complex level and can be found by
   right shifting the APIC ID. Also, keep the family checks explicit so that
   new families will fall back to the default, which will be node_id for
   TOPOEXT systems.

Single node systems in families 10h and 15h will have a Node ID of 0
which will be the same as the phys_proc_id, so we don't need to check
for multiple nodes before using the node_id.

      x86/cpu/AMD: Fix cpu_llc_id for AMD Fam17h systems · b0b6e868
      由 Yazen Ghannam 提交于 
      cpu_llc_id (Last Level Cache ID) derivation on AMD Fam17h has an
underflow bug when extracting the socket_id value. It starts from 0
so subtracting 1 from it will result in an invalid value. This breaks
scheduling topology later on since the cpu_llc_id will be incorrect.

For example, the the cpu_llc_id of the *other* CPU in the loops in
set_cpu_sibling_map() underflows and we're generating the funniest
thread_siblings masks and then when I run 8 threads of nbench, they get
spread around the LLC domains in a very strange pattern which doesn't
give you the normal scheduling spread one would expect for performance.

Other things like EDAC use cpu_llc_id so they will be b0rked too.

So, the APIC ID is preset in APICx020 for bits 3 and above: they contain
the core complex, node and socket IDs.

The LLC is at the core complex level so we can find a unique cpu_llc_id
by right shifting the APICID by 3 because then the least significant bit
will be the Core Complex ID.

      x86/asm/delay: Introduce an MWAITX-based delay with a configurable timer · b466bdb6
      由 Huang Rui 提交于 
      MWAITX can enable a timer and a corresponding timer value
specified in SW P0 clocks. The SW P0 frequency is the same as
TSC. The timer provides an upper bound on how long the
instruction waits before exiting.

This way, a delay function in the kernel can leverage that
MWAITX timer of MWAITX.

When a CPU core executes MWAITX, it will be quiesced in a
waiting phase, diminishing its power consumption. This way, we
can save power in comparison to our default TSC-based delays.

A simple test shows that:

	$ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc
	$ sleep 10000s
	$ cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000\:00\:18.4/hwmon/hwmon0/power1_acc

Results:

	* TSC-based default delay:      485115 uWatts average power
	* MWAITX-based delay:           252738 uWatts average power

Thus, that's about 240 milliWatts less power consumption. The
test method relies on the support of AMD CPU accumulated power
algorithm in fam15h_power for which patches are forthcoming.

Bits [12:14] are always 0, i.e. the address always ends in 0x8000 or
0x0000.

32-bit systems, as in the example above, are especially sensitive
to this issue because 32-bit randomness for VA space is 8 bits (see
mmap_rnd()). With the Bulldozer special case, this diminishes to only 32
different slots of mmap virtual addresses.

This patch randomizes per boot the three affected bits rather than
setting them to zero. Since all the shared pages have the same value
at bits [12..14], there is no cache aliasing problems. This value gets
generated during system boot and it is thus not known to a potential
remote attacker. Therefore, the impact from the Bulldozer workaround
gets diminished and ASLR randomness increased.

      This is based on a patch originally by hpa.

With the current improvements to the alternatives, we can simply use %P1
as a mem8 operand constraint and rely on the toolchain to generate the
proper instruction sizes. For example, on 32-bit, where we use an empty
old instruction we get:

  apply_alternatives: feat: 6*32+8, old: (c104648b, len: 4), repl: (c195566c, len: 4)
  c104648b: alt_insn: 90 90 90 90
  c195566c: rpl_insn: 0f 0d 4b 5c

  ...

  apply_alternatives: feat: 6*32+8, old: (c18e09b4, len: 3), repl: (c1955948, len: 3)
  c18e09b4: alt_insn: 90 90 90
  c1955948: rpl_insn: 0f 0d 08

  ...

  apply_alternatives: feat: 6*32+8, old: (c1190cf9, len: 7), repl: (c1955a79, len: 7)
  c1190cf9: alt_insn: 90 90 90 90 90 90 90
  c1955a79: rpl_insn: 0f 0d 0d a0 d4 85 c1

all with the proper padding done depending on the size of the
replacement instruction the compiler generates.
