When booting on a federated multi-server system (NumaScale), the processor Northbridge lookup returns NULL; add guards to prevent this causing an oops. On those systems, the northbridge is accessed through MMIO and the "normal" northbridge enumeration in amd_nb.c doesn't work since we're generating the northbridge ID from the initial APIC ID and the last is not unique on those systems. Long story short, we end up without northbridge descriptors.

there are 3 funcs which need to be _initcalled in a logic sequence: 1. xen_late_init_mcelog 2. mcheck_init_device 3. threshold_init_device xen_late_init_mcelog must register xen_mce_chrdev_device before native mce_chrdev_device registration if running under xen platform; mcheck_init_device should be inited before threshold_init_device to initialize mce_device, otherwise a a NULL ptr dereference will cause panic. so we use following _initcalls 1. device_initcall(xen_late_init_mcelog); 2. device_initcall_sync(mcheck_init_device); 3. late_initcall(threshold_init_device); when running under xen, the initcall order is 1,2,3; on baremetal, we skip 1 and we do only 2 and 3.

Until now, writing to error count caused the code to reset the thresholding bank to the current thresholding limit and start counting errors from the beginning. This is misleading and unclear, and can be accomplished by writing the old thresholding limit into ->threshold_limit.

Well, instead of having a real bank 4 on the BSP of each node and symlinks on the remaining cores, we push it up into the amd_northbridge descriptor which now contains a pointer to the northbridge bank 4 because the bank is one per northbridge and, as such, belongs in the NB descriptor anyway. Each time we hotplug CPUs, we use the northbridge pointer to copy the shared bank into the per-CPU array of threshold_banks pointers, or destroy it when the last CPU on the node goes offline, or create it when the first comes online.

The code used to create a symlink on all non-BSP cores of a node when the MCi_MISCj bank is present once per node. (This is generally the case with bank 4 on AMD). However, these sysfs links cause a bunch of problems with cpu off-/onlining testing and are, as such, a bit overengineered. IOW, there's nothing wrong with having normal sysfs files for the shared banks since the corresponding MSRs are replicated across each core anyway.

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are implemented as subsystem interfaces now. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

Several fields in struct cpuinfo_x86 were not defined for the !SMP case, likely to save space. However, those fields still have some meaning for UP, and keeping them allows some #ifdef removal from other files. The additional size of the UP kernel from this change is not significant enough to worry about keeping up the distinction: text data bss dec hex filename 4737168 506459 972040 6215667 5ed7f3 vmlinux.o.before 4737444 506459 972040 6215943 5ed907 vmlinux.o.after for a difference of 276 bytes for an example UP config.

This fixes possible cases of not collecting valid error info in the MCE error thresholding groups on F10h hardware. The current code contains a subtle problem of checking only the Valid bit of MSR0000_0413 (which is MC4_MISC0 - DRAM thresholding group) in its first iteration and breaking out if the bit is cleared. But (!), this MSR contains an offset value, BlkPtr[31:24], which points to the remaining MSRs in this thresholding group which might contain valid information too. But if we bail out only after we checked the valid bit in the first MSR and not the block pointer too, we miss that other information. The thing is, MC4_MISC0[BlkPtr] is not predicated on MCi_STATUS[MiscV] or MC4_MISC0[Valid] and should be checked prior to iterating over the MCI_MISCj thresholding group, irrespective of the MC4_MISC0[Valid] setting.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

This fixes threshold_bank4 support on multi-node processors. The correct mask to use is llc_shared_map, representing an internal node on Magny-Cours. We need to create 2 sets of symlinks for sibling shared banks -- one set for each internal node, symlinks of each set should target the first core on same internal node. Currently only one set is created where all symlinks are targeting the first core of the entire socket. Signed-off-by: NAndreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NH.

Currently, the following three different ways to define percpu arrays are in use. 1. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type[array_len], array_name); 2. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name[array_len]); 3. DEFINE_PER_CPU(elem_type, array_name)[array_len]; Unify to #1 which correctly separates the roles of the two parameters and thus allows more flexibility in the way percpu variables are defined.
