I got a request to make it easier to determine the microcode update level on Intel CPUs. This patch adds a new "microcode" field to /proc/cpuinfo. The microcode level is also outputed on fatal machine checks together with the other CPUID model information. I removed the respective code from the microcode update driver, it just reads the field from cpu_data. Also when the microcode is updated it fills in the new values too. I had to add a memory barrier to native_cpuid to prevent it being optimized away when the result is not used. This turns out to clean up further code which already got this information manually. This is done in followon patches. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: NH.

Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo, Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS. However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems... Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8). As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency. While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default operating point is "normal" mode... Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot. x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot, should the user have a different preference.

Unlike 64bit, 32bit has been using its own cpu_to_node_map[] for CPU -> NUMA node mapping. Replace it with early_percpu variable x86_cpu_to_node_map and share the mapping code with 64bit. * USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID is now enabled for 32bit too. * x86_cpu_to_node_map and numa_set/clear_node() are moved from numa_64 to numa. For now, on 32bit, x86_cpu_to_node_map is initialized with 0 instead of NUMA_NO_NODE. This is to avoid introducing unexpected behavior change and will be updated once init path is unified. * srat_detect_node() is now enabled for x86_32 too. It calls numa_set_node() and initializes the mapping making explicit cpu_to_node_map[] updates from map/unmap_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

The mapping between cpu/apicid and node is done via apicid_to_node[] on 64bit and apicid_2_node[] + apic->x86_32_numa_cpu_node() on 32bit. This difference makes it difficult to further unify 32 and 64bit NUMA handling. This patch unifies it by replacing both apicid_to_node[] and apicid_2_node[] with __apicid_to_node[] array, which is accessed by two accessors - set_apicid_to_node() and numa_cpu_node(). On 64bit, numa_cpu_node() always consults __apicid_to_node[] directly while 32bit goes through apic->numa_cpu_node() method to allow apic implementations to override it. srat_detect_node() for amd cpus contains workaround for broken NUMA configuration which assumes relationship between APIC ID, HT node ID and NUMA topology. Leave it to access __apicid_to_node[] directly as mapping through CPU might result in undesirable behavior change. The comment is reformatted and updated to note the ugliness.

commit d9c2d5ac "x86, numa: Use near(er) online node instead of roundrobin for NUMA" changed NUMA initialization on Intel to choose the nearest online node or first node. Fake NUMA would be better of with round-robin initialization, instead of the all CPUS on first node. Change the choice of first node, back to round-robin. For testing NUMA kernel behaviour without cpusets and NUMA aware applications, it would be better to have cpus in different nodes, rather than all in a single node. With cpusets migration of tasks scenarios cannot not be tested. I guess having it round-robin shouldn't affect the use cases for all cpus on the first node. The code comments in arch/x86/mm/numa_64.c:759 indicate that this used to be the case, which was changed by commit d9c2d5ac. It changed from roundrobin to nearer or first node. And I couldn't find any reason for this change in its changelog.

Atom erratum AAE44/AAF40/AAG38/AAH41: "If software clears the PS (page size) bit in a present PDE (page directory entry), that will cause linear addresses mapped through this PDE to use 4-KByte pages instead of using a large page after old TLB entries are invalidated. Due to this erratum, if a code fetch uses this PDE before the TLB entry for the large page is invalidated then it may fetch from a different physical address than specified by either the old large page translation or the new 4-KByte page translation. This erratum may also cause speculative code fetches from incorrect addresses." [http://download.intel.com/design/processor/specupdt/319536.pdf] Where as commit 211b3d03 seems to workaround errata AAH41 (mixed 4K TLBs) it reduces the window of opportunity for the bug to occur and does not totally remove it. This patch disables mixed 4K/4MB page tables totally avoiding the page splitting and not tripping this processor issue. This is based on an original patch by Colin King.

Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS, as Linus noticed it not so long ago. It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility needed for perf either. Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a much simpler approach. So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*() APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades. The sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go backwards (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching between cpus. As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the sched_clock_stable flag true. When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0). After this, early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes up. Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable.

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable. But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console. It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take about 84 minutes to clear the serial port. This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages which contain no additional information. Much of this information is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to a problem. The new cpu bootup sequence for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING: Booting Node 0, Processors #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok. Booting Node 1, Processors #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok. ...

CPU to node mapping is set via the following sequence: 1. numa_init_array(): Set up roundrobin from cpu to online node 2. init_cpu_to_node(): Set that according to apicid_to_node[] according to srat only handle the node that is online, and leave other cpu on node without ram (aka not online) to still roundrobin. 3. later call srat_detect_node for Intel/AMD, will use first_online node or nearby node. Problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is not called between 2 and 3, the per_cpu for cpu on node with ram is on different node, and could put that on node with two hops away. So try to optimize this and add find_near_online_node() and call init_cpu_to_node().

If the CPUID limit bit in MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE is set, clear it to make all CPUID information available. This is required for some features to work, in particular XSAVE.

Impact: fix wrong cache sharing detection on platforms supporting > 8 bit apicid's In the presence of extended topology eumeration leaf 0xb provided by cpuid, 32bit extended initial_apicid in cpuinfo_x86 struct will be updated by detect_extended_topology(). At this instance, we should also reinit the apicid (which could also potentially be extended to 32bit). With out this there will potentially be duplicate apicid's populated in the per cpu's cpuinfo_x86 struct, resulting in wrong cache sharing topology etc detected by init_intel_cacheinfo().

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.
