Impact: fix spurious IRQs During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches. This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(), other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled). When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler. This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors at the same time. [ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ] Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

Impact: simplification In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI. With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification (with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE. So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE. And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping. Idea-by: NRajesh Sankaran <rajesh.sankaran@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware) When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX", which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it. At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by putting the address in a register and generating a two byte indirect-via-register call. Prevent this by explicitly dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the asm as a constant. This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable callsites.

Impact: new interface; remove hard-coded limit Add RESERVE_BRK(name, size) macro to reserve space in the brk area. This should be a conservative (ie, larger) estimate of how much space might possibly be required from the brk area. Any unused space will be freed, so there's no real downside on making the reservation too large (within limits). The name should be unique within a given file, and somewhat descriptive. The C definition of RESERVE_BRK() ends up being more complex than one would expect to work around a cluster of gcc infelicities: The first attempt was to simply try putting __section(.brk_reservation) on a variable. This doesn't work because it ends up making it a @progbits section, which gets actual space allocated in the vmlinux executable. The second attempt was to emit the space into a section using asm, but gcc doesn't allow arguments to be passed to file-level asm() statements, making it hard to pass in the size. The final attempt is to wrap the asm() in a function to allow it to have arguments, and put the function itself into the .discard section, which vmlinux*.lds drops entirely from the emitted vmlinux.

Impact: new interface Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations. This is better than using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never get used. The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or something into it. The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area (__brk_base to __brk_limit). The kernel text, data and bss is reserved up to __bss_stop. Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory. Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general kernel memory pool. Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large with a big kernel image and no PSE support). So long as the system has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk, there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.
