Fundamental model of the current Linux kernel is to lazily init and restore FPU instead of restoring the task state during context switch. This changes that fundamental lazy model to the non-lazy model for the processors supporting xsave feature. Reasons driving this model change are: i. Newer processors support optimized state save/restore using xsaveopt and xrstor by tracking the INIT state and MODIFIED state during context-switch. This is faster than modifying the cr0.TS bit which has serializing semantics. ii. Newer glibc versions use SSE for some of the optimized copy/clear routines. With certain workloads (like boot, kernel-compilation etc), application completes its work with in the first 5 task switches, thus taking upto 5 #DNA traps with the kernel not getting a chance to apply the above mentioned pre-load heuristic. iii. Some xstate features (like AMD's LWP feature) don't honor the cr0.TS bit and thus will not work correctly in the presence of lazy restore. Non-lazy state restore is needed for enabling such features. Some data on a two socket SNB system: * Saved 20K DNA exceptions during boot on a two socket SNB system. * Saved 50K DNA exceptions during kernel-compilation workload. * Improved throughput of the AVX based checksumming function inside the kernel by ~15% as xsave/xrstor is faster than the serializing clts/stts pair. Also now kernel_fpu_begin/end() relies on the patched alternative instructions. So move check_fpu() which uses the kernel_fpu_begin/end() after alternative_instructions().

use kernel_fpu_begin/end() instead of unconditionally accessing cr0 and saving/restoring just the few used xmm/ymm registers. This has some advantages like: * If the task's FPU state is already active, then kernel_fpu_begin() will just save the user-state and avoiding the read/write of cr0. In general, cr0 accesses are much slower. * Manual save/restore of xmm/ymm registers will affect the 'modified' and the 'init' optimizations brought in the by xsaveopt/xrstor infrastructure. * Foward compatibility with future vector register extensions will be a problem if the xmm/ymm registers are manually saved and restored (corrupting the extended state of those vector registers). With this patch, there was no significant difference in the xor throughput using AVX, measured during boot.

Currently for x86 and x86_32 binaries, fpstate in the user sigframe is copied to/from the fpstate in the task struct. And in the case of signal delivery for x86_64 binaries, if the fpstate is live in the CPU registers, then the live state is copied directly to the user sigframe. Otherwise fpstate in the task struct is copied to the user sigframe. During restore, fpstate in the user sigframe is restored directly to the live CPU registers. Historically, different code paths led to different bugs. For example, x86_64 code path was not preemption safe till recently. Also there is lot of code duplication for support of new features like xsave etc. Unify signal handling code paths for x86 and x86_64 kernels. New strategy is as follows: Signal delivery: Both for 32/64-bit frames, align the core math frame area to 64bytes as needed by xsave (this where the main fpu/extended state gets copied to and excludes the legacy compatibility fsave header for the 32-bit [f]xsave frames). If the state is live, copy the register state directly to the user frame. If not live, copy the state in the thread struct to the user frame. And for 32-bit [f]xsave frames, construct the fsave header separately before the actual [f]xsave area. Signal return: As the 32-bit frames with [f]xstate has an additional 'fsave' header, copy everything back from the user sigframe to the fpstate in the task structure and reconstruct the fxstate from the 'fsave' header (Also user passed pointers may not be correctly aligned for any attempt to directly restore any partial state). At the next fpstate usage, everything will be restored to the live CPU registers. For all the 64-bit frames and the 32-bit fsave frame, restore the state from the user sigframe directly to the live CPU registers. 64-bit signals always restored the math frame directly, so we can expect the math frame pointer to be correctly aligned. For 32-bit fsave frames, there are no alignment requirements, so we can restore the state directly. "lat_sig catch" microbenchmark numbers (for x86, x86_64, x86_32 binaries) are with in the noise range with this change.

Some PMUs don't provide a full register set for their sample, specifically 'advanced' PMUs like AMD IBS and Intel PEBS which provide 'better' than regular interrupt accuracy. In this case we use the interrupt regs as basis and over-write some fields (typically IP) with different information. The perf core however uses user_mode() to distinguish user/kernel samples, user_mode() relies on regs->cs. If the interrupt skid pushed us over a boundary the new IP might not be in the same domain as the interrupt. Commit ce5c1fe9 ("perf/x86: Fix USER/KERNEL tagging of samples") tried to fix this by making the perf core use kernel_ip(). This however is wrong (TM), as pointed out by Linus, since it doesn't allow for VM86 and non-zero based segments in IA32 mode. Therefore, provide a new helper to set the regs->ip field, set_linear_ip(), which massages the regs into a suitable state assuming the provided IP is in fact a linear address. Also modify perf_instruction_pointer() and perf_callchain_user() to deal with segments base offsets.

As things currently stand, traditional EFI boot loaders and the EFI boot stub are carrying essentially the same initialisation code required to setup an EFI machine for booting a kernel. There's really no need to have this code in two places and the hope is that, with this new protocol, initialisation and booting of the kernel can be left solely to the kernel's EFI boot stub. The responsibilities of the boot loader then become, o Loading the kernel image from boot media File system code still needs to be carried by boot loaders for the scenario where the kernel and initrd files reside on a file system that the EFI firmware doesn't natively understand, such as ext4, etc. o Providing a user interface Boot loaders still need to display any menus/interfaces, for example to allow the user to select from a list of kernels.

For the x2apic cluster mode, vector for an interrupt is currently reserved on all the cpu's that are part of the x2apic cluster. But the interrupts will be routed only to the cluster (derived from the first cpu in the mask) members specified in the mask. So there is no need to reserve the vector in the unused cluster members. Modify __assign_irq_vector() to reserve the vectors based on the user specified irq destination mask. If the new mask is a proper subset of the currently used mask, cleanup the vector allocation on the unused cpu members.

Currently __assign_irq_vector() goes through each cpu in the specified mask until it finds a free vector in all the cpu's that are part of the same interrupt domain. We visit all the interrupt domain sibling cpus to reserve the free vector. So, when we fail to find a free vector in an interrupt domain, it is safe to continue our search with a cpu belonging to a new interrupt domain. No need to go through each cpu, if the domain containing that cpu is already visited. Use the irq_cfg's old_domain to track the visited domains and optimize the cpu traversal while finding a free vector in the given cpumask. NOTE: We can also optimize the search by using for_each_cpu() and skip the current cpu, if it is not the first cpu in the mask returned by the vector_allocation_domain(). But re-using the cfg->old_domain to track the visited domains will be slightly faster.

Also, cpuid checks are used instead of family checks where possible. Thus, it enables the code independently of cpu families if the feature flag is set.

There are macros that are Intel specific and not x86 generic. Rename them into INTEL_*. This patch removes X86_PMC_IDX_GENERIC and does: $ sed -i -e 's/X86_PMC_MAX_/INTEL_PMC_MAX_/g' \ arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h \ arch/x86/include/asm/perf_event.h \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_p4.c \ arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c $ sed -i -e 's/X86_PMC_IDX_FIXED/INTEL_PMC_IDX_FIXED/g' \ arch/x86/include/asm/perf_event.h \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel.c \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_intel_ds.c \ arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c $ sed -i -e 's/X86_PMC_MSK_/INTEL_PMC_MSK_/g' \ arch/x86/include/asm/perf_event.h \ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event.c Signed-off-by: NRobert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NPeter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340217996-2254-2-git-send-email-robert.richter@amd.comSigned-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

On UP i386, when APIC is disabled # CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC is not set # CONFIG_PCI_IOAPIC is not set code looking at apicdrivers never has any effect but it still gets compiled in. In particular, this causes build failures with kvm, but it generally bloats the kernel unnecessarily. Fix by defining both __apicdrivers and __apicdrivers_end to be NULL when CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC is unset: I verified that as the result any loop scanning __apicdrivers gets optimized out by the compiler. Warning: a .config with apic disabled doesn't seem to boot for me (even without this patch). Still verifying why, meanwhile this patch is compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.

According to Intel 64 and IA-32 SDM and Optimization Reference Manual, beginning with Ivybridge, REG string operation using MOVSB and STOSB can provide both flexible and high-performance REG string operations in cases like memory copy. Enhancement availability is indicated by CPUID.7.0.EBX[9] (Enhanced REP MOVSB/ STOSB). If CPU erms feature is detected, patch copy_user_generic with enhanced fast string version of copy_user_generic. A few new macros are defined to reduce duplicate code in ALTERNATIVE and ALTERNATIVE_2.
