The ACPI BGRT driver accesses the BIOS logo image when it initializes. However, ACPI 5.0 (which introduces the BGRT) recommends putting the logo image in EFI boot services memory, so that the OS can reclaim that memory. Production systems follow this recommendation, breaking the ACPI BGRT driver. Move the bulk of the BGRT code to run during a new EFI late initialization phase, which occurs after switching EFI to virtual mode, and after initializing ACPI, but before freeing boot services memory. Copy the BIOS logo image to kernel memory at that point, and make it accessible to the BGRT driver. Rework the existing ACPI BGRT driver to act as a simple wrapper exposing that image (and the properties from the BGRT) via sysfs.

The EFI initialization creates virtual mappings for EFI boot services memory, so if a driver wants to access EFI boot services memory, it cannot call ioremap itself; doing so will trip the WARN about mapping RAM twice. Thus, a driver accessing EFI boot services memory must do so via the existing mapping already created during EFI intiialization. Since the EFI code already maintains a memory map for that memory, add a function efi_lookup_mapped_addr to look up mappings in that memory map.

As TLB shootdown requests to other CPU cores are now using function call interrupts, TLB shootdowns entry in /proc/interrupts is always shown as 0. This behavior change was introduced by commit 52aec330 ("x86/tlb: replace INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR by CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR"). This patch reverts TLB shootdowns entry in /proc/interrupts to count TLB shootdowns separately from the other function call interrupts.

The userspace part of UML uses the asm-offsets.h generator mechanism to create definitions for UM_KERN_<LEVEL> that match the in-kernel KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions. As of commit 04d2c8c8 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"), KERN_<LEVEL> is no longer expanded to the literal '"<LEVEL>"', but to '"\001" "LEVEL"', i.e. it contains two parts. However, the combo of DEFINE_STR() in arch/x86/um/shared/sysdep/kernel-offsets.h and sed-y in Kbuild doesn't support string literals consisting of multiple parts. Hence for all UM_KERN_<LEVEL> definitions, only the SOH character is retained in the actual definition, while the remainder ends up in the comment. E.g. in include/generated/asm-offsets.h we get #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" /* "6" KERN_INFO */ instead of #define UM_KERN_INFO "\001" "6" /* KERN_INFO */ This causes spurious '^A' output in some kernel messages: Calibrating delay loop... 4640.76 BogoMIPS (lpj=23203840) pid_max: default: 32768 minimum: 301 Mount-cache hash table entries: 256 ^AChecking that host ptys support output SIGIO...Yes ^AChecking that host ptys support SIGIO on close...No, enabling workaround ^AUsing 2.6 host AIO NET: Registered protocol family 16 bio: create slab <bio-0> at 0 Switching to clocksource itimer To fix this: - Move the mapping from UM_KERN_<LEVEL> to KERN_<LEVEL> from arch/um/include/shared/common-offsets.h to arch/um/include/shared/user.h, which is preincluded for all userspace parts, - Preinclude include/linux/kern_levels.h for all userspace parts, to obtain the in-kernel KERN_<LEVEL> constant definitions. This doesn't violate the kernel/userspace separation, as include/linux/kern_levels.h is self-contained and doesn't expose any other kernel internals. - Remove the now unused STR() and DEFINE_STR() macros.

do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception exit. But at that time the exception has already called rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit(). Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are going to userspace from there. This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state in x86-64.

There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime() if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working. Move it to the general option and let the user choose between it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting. Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

The hypervisor is in charge of allocating the proper "NUMA" memory and dealing with the CPU scheduler to keep them bound to the proper NUMA node. The PV guests (and PVHVM) have no inkling of where they run and do not need to know that right now. In the future we will need to inject NUMA configuration data (if a guest spans two or more NUMA nodes) so that the kernel can make the right choices. But those patches are not yet present. In the meantime, disable the NUMA capability in the PV guest, which also fixes a bootup issue. Andre says: "we see Dom0 crashes due to the kernel detecting the NUMA topology not by ACPI, but directly from the northbridge (CONFIG_AMD_NUMA). This will detect the actual NUMA config of the physical machine, but will crash about the mismatch with Dom0's virtual memory. Variation of the theme: Dom0 sees what it's not supposed to see. This happens with the said config option enabled and on a machine where this scanning is still enabled (K8 and Fam10h, not Bulldozer class) We have this dump then: NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10 Scanning NUMA topology in Northbridge 24 Number of physical nodes 4 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 0000000040000000 Node 1 MemBase 0000000040000000 Limit 0000000138000000 Node 2 MemBase 0000000138000000 Limit 00000001f8000000 Node 3 MemBase 00000001f8000000 Limit 0000000238000000 Initmem setup node 0 0000000000000000-0000000040000000 NODE_DATA [000000003ffd9000 - 000000003fffffff] Initmem setup node 1 0000000040000000-0000000138000000 NODE_DATA [0000000137fd9000 - 0000000137ffffff] Initmem setup node 2 0000000138000000-00000001f8000000 NODE_DATA [00000001f095e000 - 00000001f0984fff] Initmem setup node 3 00000001f8000000-0000000238000000 Cannot find 159744 bytes in node 3 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null) IP: [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.3.6 #1 AMD Dinar/Dinar RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81d220e6>] [<ffffffff81d220e6>] __alloc_bootmem_node+0x43/0x96 .. snip..

Preemption is disabled between kernel_fpu_begin/end() and as such it is not a good idea to use these routines in kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() which can be very far apart. kvm_load/put_guest_fpu() routines are already called with preemption disabled and KVM already uses the preempt notifier to save the guest fpu state using kvm_put_guest_fpu(). So introduce __kernel_fpu_begin/end() routines which don't touch preemption and use them instead of kernel_fpu_begin/end() for KVM's use model of saving/restoring guest FPU state. Also with this change (and with eagerFPU model), fix the host cr0.TS vm-exit state in the case of VMX. For eagerFPU case, host cr0.TS is always clear. So no need to worry about it. For the traditional lazyFPU restore case, change the cr0.TS bit for the host state during vm-exit to be always clear and cr0.TS bit is set in the __vmx_load_host_state() when the FPU (guest FPU or the host task's FPU) state is not active. This ensures that the host/guest FPU state is properly saved, restored during context-switch and with interrupts (using irq_fpu_usable()) not stomping on the active FPU state.

As the initial domain we are able to search/map certain regions of memory to harvest configuration data. For all low-level we use ACPI tables - for interrupts we use exclusively ACPI _PRT (so DSDT) and MADT for INT_SRC_OVR. The SMP MP table is not used at all. As a matter of fact we do not even support machines that only have SMP MP but no ACPI tables. Lets follow how Moorestown does it and just disable searching for BIOS SMP tables. This also fixes an issue on HP Proliant BL680c G5 and DL380 G6: 9f->100 for 1:1 PTE Freeing 9f-100 pfn range: 97 pages freed 1-1 mapping on 9f->100 .. snip.. e820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: Xen: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000009efff] usable Xen: [mem 0x000000000009f400-0x00000000000fffff] reserved Xen: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000cfd1dfff] usable .. snip..

Since 0x100 is actually a RAM page, and the _PAGE_IOMAP bypasses the P2M lookup we would happily set the PTE to 1000461. Xen would deny the request since we do not have access to the Machine Frame Number (MFN) of 0x100. The P2M[0x100] is for example 0x80140.

This patch updates the existing Intel IvyBridge (model 58) support with proper PEBS event constraints. It cannot reuse the same as SandyBridge because some events (0xd3) are specific to IvyBridge. Also there is no UOPS_DISPATCHED.THREAD on IVB, so do not populate the PERF_COUNT_HW_STALLED_CYCLES_BACKEND mapping.

When acting on a user bug report, we find ourselves constantly asking for /proc/cpuinfo in order to know the exact family, model, stepping of the CPU in question. Instead of having to ask this, add this to dmesg so that it is visible and no ambiguities can ensue from looking at the official name string of the CPU coming from CPUID and trying to map it to f/m/s. Output then looks like this: [ 0.146041] smpboot: CPU0: AMD FX(tm)-8100 Eight-Core Processor (fam: 15, model: 01, stepping: 02) Signed-off-by: NBorislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com> Cc: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1347640666-13638-1-git-send-email-bp@amd64.org [ tweaked it minimally to add commas. ] Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

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.
