      powerpc/numa: Add ability to disable and debug topology updates · 2d73bae1
      由 Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于 
      We have hit a few customer issues with the topology update code (VPHN
and PRRN). It would be nice to be able to debug the notifications coming
from the hypervisor in both cases to the LPAR, as well as to disable
responding to the notifications at boot-time, to narrow down the source
of the problems. Add a basic level of such functionality, similar to the
numa= command-line parameter. We already have a toggle in
/proc/powerpc/topology_updates that allows run-time enabling/disabling,
so the updates can be started at run-time if desired. But the bugs we've
run into have occured during boot or very shortly after coming to login,
and have resulted in a broken NUMA topology.

      Input: i8042 - disable active multiplexing by default · 68da1664
      由 Dmitry Torokhov 提交于 
      Active multiplexing is a nice feature as it allows several pointing devices
(such as touchpad and external mouse) use their native protocols at the
same time. Unfortunately many manufacturers do not implement the feature
properly even though they advertise it. The problematic implementations are
never fixed, since Windows by default does not use this mode, and move from
one BIOS/model of laptop to another. When active multiplexing is broken
turning it on usually results in touchpad, keyboard, or both unresponsive.

With PS/2 usage on decline (most of PS/2 devices in use nowadays are
internal laptop touchpads), I expect number of users who have laptops with
working MUX implementation, docking stations with external PS/2 ports, and
who are still using external PS/2 mice, to be rather small. Let's flip the
default to be OFF and allow activating it through i8042.nomux=0 kernel
option.  We'll also keep DMI table where we can record known good models.

      ima: provide 'ima_appraise=log' kernel option · 2faa6ef3
      由 Dmitry Kasatkin 提交于 
      The kernel boot parameter "ima_appraise" currently defines 'off',
'enforce' and 'fix' modes.  When designing a policy and labeling
the system, access to files are either blocked in the default
'enforce' mode or automatically fixed in the 'fix' mode.  It is
beneficial to be able to run the system in a logging only mode,
without fixing it, in order to properly analyze the system. This
patch adds a 'log' mode to run the system in a permissive mode and
log the appraisal results.

      rcu: Add stall-warning checks for RCU-tasks · 52db30ab
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      This commit adds a ten-minute RCU-tasks stall warning.  The actual
time is controlled by the boot/sysfs parameter rcu_task_stall_timeout,
with values less than or equal to zero disabling the stall warnings.
The default value is ten minutes, which means that the tasks that have
not yet responded will get their stacks dumped every ten minutes, until
they pass through a voluntary context switch.

      rcutorture: Add callback-flood test · 38706bc5
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      Although RCU is designed to handle arbitrary floods of callbacks, this
capability is not routinely tested.   This commit therefore adds a
cbflood capability in which kthreads repeatedly registers large numbers
of callbacks.  One such kthread is created for each four CPUs (rounding
up), and the test may be controlled by several cbflood_* kernel boot
parameters, which control the number of bursts per flood, the number
of callbacks per burst, the time between bursts, and the time between
floods.  The default values are large enough to exercise RCU's emergency
responses to callback flooding.

      printk: allow increasing the ring buffer depending on the number of CPUs · 23b2899f
      由 Luis R. Rodriguez 提交于 
      The default size of the ring buffer is too small for machines with a
large amount of CPUs under heavy load.  What ends up happening when
debugging is the ring buffer overlaps and chews up old messages making
debugging impossible unless the size is passed as a kernel parameter.
An idle system upon boot up will on average spew out only about one or
two extra lines but where this really matters is on heavy load and that
will vary widely depending on the system and environment.

There are mechanisms to help increase the kernel ring buffer for tracing
through debugfs, and those interfaces even allow growing the kernel ring
buffer per CPU.  We also have a static value which can be passed upon
boot.  Relying on debugfs however is not ideal for production, and
relying on the value passed upon bootup is can only used *after* an
issue has creeped up.  Instead of being reactive this adds a proactive
measure which lets you scale the amount of contributions you'd expect to
the kernel ring buffer under load by each CPU in the worst case
scenario.

We use num_possible_cpus() to avoid complexities which could be
introduced by dynamically changing the ring buffer size at run time,
num_possible_cpus() lets us use the upper limit on possible number of
CPUs therefore avoiding having to deal with hotplugging CPUs on and off.
This introduces the kernel configuration option LOG_CPU_MAX_BUF_SHIFT
which is used to specify the maximum amount of contributions to the
kernel ring buffer in the worst case before the kernel ring buffer flips
over, the size is specified as a power of 2.  The total amount of
contributions made by each CPU must be greater than half of the default
kernel ring buffer size (1 << LOG_BUF_SHIFT bytes) in order to trigger
an increase upon bootup.  The kernel ring buffer is increased to the
next power of two that would fit the required minimum kernel ring buffer
size plus the additional CPU contribution.  For example if LOG_BUF_SHIFT
is 18 (256 KB) you'd require at least 128 KB contributions by other CPUs
in order to trigger an increase of the kernel ring buffer.  With a
LOG_CPU_BUF_SHIFT of 12 (4 KB) you'd require at least anything over > 64
possible CPUs to trigger an increase.  If you had 128 possible CPUs the
amount of minimum required kernel ring buffer bumps to:

   ((1 << 18) + ((128 - 1) * (1 << 12))) / 1024 = 764 KB

Since we require the ring buffer to be a power of two the new required
size would be 1024 KB.

This CPU contributions are ignored when the "log_buf_len" kernel
parameter is used as it forces the exact size of the ring buffer to an
expected power of two value.

      ima: introduce multi-page collect buffers · 6edf7a89
      由 Dmitry Kasatkin 提交于 
      Use of multiple-page collect buffers reduces:
1) the number of block IO requests
2) the number of asynchronous hash update requests

Second is important for HW accelerated hashing, because significant
amount of time is spent for preparation of hash update operation,
which includes configuring acceleration HW, DMA engine, etc...
Thus, HW accelerators are more efficient when working on large
chunks of data.

This patch introduces usage of multi-page collect buffers. Buffer size
can be specified using 'ahash_bufsize' module parameter. Default buffer
size is 4096 bytes.

It may give significant performance gain and/or reduce power consumption,

This patch introduces hash calculation using ahash API. ahash performance
depends on the data size and the particular HW. Depending on the specific
system, shash performance may be better.

This patch defines 'ahash_minsize' module parameter, which is used to
define the minimal file size to use with ahash.  If this minimum file size
is not set or the file is smaller than defined by the parameter, shash will
be used.

      rcu: Parallelize and economize NOCB kthread wakeups · fbce7497
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      An 80-CPU system with a context-switch-heavy workload can require so
many NOCB kthread wakeups that the RCU grace-period kthreads spend several
tens of percent of a CPU just awakening things.  This clearly will not
scale well: If you add enough CPUs, the RCU grace-period kthreads would
get behind, increasing grace-period latency.

To avoid this problem, this commit divides the NOCB kthreads into leaders
and followers, where the grace-period kthreads awaken the leaders each of
whom in turn awakens its followers.  By default, the number of groups of
kthreads is the square root of the number of CPUs, but this default may
be overridden using the rcutree.rcu_nocb_leader_stride boot parameter.
This reduces the number of wakeups done per grace period by the RCU
grace-period kthread by the square root of the number of CPUs, but of
course by shifting those wakeups to the leaders.  In addition, because
the leaders do grace periods on behalf of their respective followers,
the number of wakeups of the followers decreases by up to a factor of two.
Instead of being awakened once when new callbacks arrive and again
at the end of the grace period, the followers are awakened only at
the end of the grace period.

For a numerical example, in a 4096-CPU system, the grace-period kthread
would awaken 64 leaders, each of which would awaken its 63 followers
at the end of the grace period.  This compares favorably with the 79
wakeups for the grace-period kthread on an 80-CPU system.

      kernel/watchdog.c: print traces for all cpus on lockup detection · ed235875
      由 Aaron Tomlin 提交于 
      A 'softlockup' is defined as a bug that causes the kernel to loop in
kernel mode for more than a predefined period to time, without giving
other tasks a chance to run.

Currently, upon detection of this condition by the per-cpu watchdog
task, debug information (including a stack trace) is sent to the system
log.

On some occasions, we have observed that the "victim" rather than the
actual "culprit" (i.e.  the owner/holder of the contended resource) is
reported to the user.  Often this information has proven to be
insufficient to assist debugging efforts.

To avoid loss of useful debug information, for architectures which
support NMI, this patch makes it possible to improve soft lockup
reporting.  This is accomplished by issuing an NMI to each cpu to obtain
a stack trace.

If NMI is not supported we just revert back to the old method.  A sysctl
and boot-time parameter is available to toggle this feature.

      rcu: Reduce overhead of cond_resched() checks for RCU · 4a81e832
      由 Paul E. McKenney 提交于 
      Commit ac1bea85 (Make cond_resched() report RCU quiescent states)
fixed a problem where a CPU looping in the kernel with but one runnable
task would give RCU CPU stall warnings, even if the in-kernel loop
contained cond_resched() calls.  Unfortunately, in so doing, it introduced
performance regressions in Anton Blanchard's will-it-scale "open1" test.
The problem appears to be not so much the increased cond_resched() path
length as an increase in the rate at which grace periods complete, which
increased per-update grace-period overhead.

This commit takes a different approach to fixing this bug, mainly by
moving the RCU-visible quiescent state from cond_resched() to
rcu_note_context_switch(), and by further reducing the check to a
simple non-zero test of a single per-CPU variable.  However, this
approach requires that the force-quiescent-state processing send
resched IPIs to the offending CPUs.  These will be sent only once
the grace period has reached an age specified by the boot/sysfs
parameter rcutree.jiffies_till_sched_qs, or once the grace period
reaches an age halfway to the point at which RCU CPU stall warnings
will be emitted, whichever comes first.

      init/main.c: add initcall_blacklist kernel parameter · 7b0b73d7
      由 Prarit Bhargava 提交于 
      When a module is built into the kernel the module_init() function
becomes an initcall.  Sometimes debugging through dynamic debug can
help, however, debugging built in kernel modules is typically done by
changing the .config, recompiling, and booting the new kernel in an
effort to determine exactly which module caused a problem.

This patchset can be useful stand-alone or combined with initcall_debug.
There are cases where some initcalls can hang the machine before the
console can be flushed, which can make initcall_debug output inaccurate.
Having the ability to skip initcalls can help further debugging of these
scenarios.

Usage: initcall_blacklist=<list of comma separated initcalls>

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter and
the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

ex) added "initcall_blacklist=foo_bar,sgi_uv_sysfs_init" as a kernel parameter
and the log contains:

	blacklisting initcall foo_bar
	blacklisting initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init
	...
	...
	initcall sgi_uv_sysfs_init blacklisted

      Currently, "cma=" kernel parameter is used to specify the size of CMA,
but we can't specify where it is located.  We want to locate CMA below
4GB for devices only supporting 32-bit addressing on 64-bit systems

This enables to specify the placement of CMA by extending "cma=" kernel

Examples:
 1. locate 64MB CMA below 4GB by "cma=64M@0-4G"
 2. locate 64MB CMA exact at 512MB by "cma=64M@512M"

Note that the DMA contiguous memory allocator on x86 assumes that
page_address() works for the pages to allocate.  So this change requires
to limit end address of contiguous memory area upto max_pfn_mapped to
prevent from locating it on highmem area by the argument of
dma_contiguous_reserve().

 ACPI: SSDT 0x00000000B9638018 07A0C4 (v02 INTEL  S2600CP  00004000 INTL 20100331)
The regression is caused by the size limitation of the x86 early IO mapping.

The root cause is:
 1. ACPICA doesn't split IO memory mapping and table mapping;
 2. Linux x86 OSL implements acpi_os_map_memory() using a size limited fix-map
    mechanism during early boot stage, which is more suitable for only IO
    mappings.

This patch fixes this issue by utilizing acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum to
disable the table mapping during early stage and enabling it again for the
late stage. In this way, the normal code path is not affected. Then after
the code related to the root cause is cleaned up, the early checksum
verification can be easily re-enabled.

A new boot parameter - acpi_force_table_verification is introduced for
the platforms that require the checksum verification to stop loading bad
tables.

This fix also covers the checksum verification for the table overrides. Now
large tables can also be overridden using the initrd override mechanism.

      PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for sleep state enumeration · 0399d4db
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      On some systems the platform doesn't support neither
PM_SUSPEND_MEM nor PM_SUSPEND_STANDBY, so PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE is the
only available system sleep state.  However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that is not always possible.

For this reason, add a new kernel command line argument,
relative_sleep_states, allowing the users of those systems to change
the way in which the kernel assigns labels to system sleep states.
Namely, for relative_sleep_states=1, the "mem", "standby" and "freeze"
labels will enumerate the available system sleem states from the
deepest to the shallowest, respectively, so that "mem" is always
present in /sys/power/state and the other state strings may or may
not be presend depending on what is supported by the platform.

Update system sleep states documentation to reflect this change.
