      x86: Add check for number of available vectors before CPU down · da6139e4
      由 Prarit Bhargava 提交于 
      Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64791

When a cpu is downed on a system, the irqs on the cpu are assigned to
other cpus.  It is possible, however, that when a cpu is downed there
aren't enough free vectors on the remaining cpus to account for the
vectors from the cpu that is being downed.

This results in an interesting "overflow" condition where irqs are
"assigned" to a CPU but are not handled.

For example, when downing cpus on a 1-64 logical processor system:

(last lines keep repeating.  ixgbe driver is dead until module reload.)

If the downed cpu has more vectors than are free on the remaining cpus on the
system, it is possible that some vectors are "orphaned" even though they are
assigned to a cpu.  In this case, since the ixgbe driver had a watchdog, the
watchdog fired and notified that something was wrong.

This patch adds a function, check_vectors(), to compare the number of vectors
on the CPU going down and compares it to the number of vectors available on
the system.  If there aren't enough vectors for the CPU to go down, an
error is returned and propogated back to userspace.

v2: Do not need to look at percpu irqs
v3: Need to check affinity to prevent counting of MSIs in IOAPIC Lowest
    Priority Mode
v4: Additional changes suggested by Gong Chen.

      x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files · 148f9bb8
      由 Paul Gortmaker 提交于 
      The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

      sched/x86: Construct all sibling maps if smt · b0bc225d
      由 Andrew Jones 提交于 
      Commit 316ad248 ("sched/x86: Rewrite
set_cpu_sibling_map()") broke the construction of sibling maps,
which also broke the booted_cores accounting.

Before the rewrite, if smt was present, then each map was
updated for each smt sibling. After the rewrite only
cpu_sibling_mask gets updated, as the llc and core maps depend
on 'has_mc = x86_max_cores > 1' instead. This leads to problems
with topologies like the following

(qemu -smp sockets=2,cores=1,threads=2)

  processor       : 0
  physical id     : 0
  siblings        : 1    <= should be 2
  core id         : 0
  cpu cores       : 1

  processor       : 1
  physical id     : 0
  siblings        : 1    <= should be 2
  core id         : 0
  cpu cores       : 0    <= should be 1

  processor       : 2
  physical id     : 1
  siblings        : 1    <= should be 2
  core id         : 0
  cpu cores       : 1

  processor       : 3
  physical id     : 1
  siblings        : 1    <= should be 2
  core id         : 0
  cpu cores       : 0    <= should be 1

This patch restores the former construction by defining has_mc
as (has_smt || x86_max_cores > 1). This should be fine as there
were no (has_smt && !has_mc) conditions in the context.

Aso rename has_mc to has_mp now that it's not just for cores.

      x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param · 69fb3676
      由 Len Brown 提交于 
      mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient
than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors.

But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general
mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states.
ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(),
and no longer use mwait_idle().

Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(),
and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it.

Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait"
was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012.  This removal
was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt.

After this change, kernels configured with
(CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware
that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT.  If MWAIT is desired
on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above
can be enabled.

      x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend · 644c1541
      由 Vincent Palatin 提交于 
      When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

      x86/smp: Don't ever patch back to UP if we unplug cpus · 816afe4f
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      We still patch SMP instructions to UP variants if we boot with a
single CPU, but not at any other time.  In particular, not if we
unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu.

Paul McKenney points out:

 mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds.

 If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline
 path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds

Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the
code is pretty messy.

We get rid of:

 1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the
    documentation is wrong. It's now the default.

 2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend.

 3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end()
    which were only used to set this one flag.

 - cpu_llc_shared_map
 - cpu_llc_id
 - cpu_number
 - x86_cpu_to_apicid
 - x86_bios_cpu_apicid
 - x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid

As long as all the variables above are only written during the
initialization, this change is meant to prevent the false
sharing. More specifically, on vSMP Foundation platform
x86_cpu_to_apicid shared the same internode_cache_line with
frequently written lapic_events.

From the analysis of the first 33 per_cpu variables out of 219
(memories they describe, to be more specific) the 8 have read_mostly
nature (tlb_vector_offset, cpu_loops_per_jiffy, xen_debug_irq, etc.)
and 25 are frequently written (irq_stack_union, gdt_page,
exception_stacks, idt_desc, etc.).

Assuming that the spread of the rest of the per_cpu variables is
similar, identifying the read mostly memories will make more sense
in terms of long-term code maintenance comparing to identifying
frequently written memories.

      x86/smp: Fix topology checks on AMD MCM CPUs · 161270fc
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      The warning below triggers on AMD MCM packages because physical package
IDs on the cores of a _physical_ socket are the same. I.e., this field
says which CPUs belong to the same physical package.

However, the same two CPUs belong to two different internal, i.e.
"logical" nodes in the same physical socket which is reflected in the
CPU-to-node map on x86 with NUMA.

Which makes this check wrong on the above topologies so circumvent it.

      sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs · 8e7fbcbc
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.

There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.

Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.

So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.

There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:

 sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }

where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.

Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.

Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

      sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness · 5fbd036b
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Stepan found:

CPU0		CPUn

_cpu_up()
  __cpu_up()

		boostrap()
		  notify_cpu_starting()
		  set_cpu_online()
		  while (!cpu_active())
		    cpu_relax()

<PREEMPT-out>

smp_call_function(.wait=1)
  /* we find cpu_online() is true */
  arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask()

  /* wait-forever-more */

<PREEMPT-in>
		  local_irq_enable()

  cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
    sched_cpu_active()
      set_cpu_active()

Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where
we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it
while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the
sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so
that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want
new tasks to appear.

On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu,
so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state.
So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and
consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the
cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

      x86: Introduce x86_cpuinit.early_percpu_clock_init hook · df156f90
      由 Igor Mammedov 提交于 
      When kvm guest uses kvmclock, it may hang on vcpu hot-plug.
This is caused by an overflow in pvclock_get_nsec_offset,

    u64 delta = tsc - shadow->tsc_timestamp;

which in turn is caused by an undefined values from percpu
hv_clock that hasn't been initialized yet.
Uninitialized clock on being booted cpu is accessed from
   start_secondary
    -> smp_callin
      ->  smp_store_cpu_info
        -> identify_secondary_cpu
          -> mtrr_ap_init
            -> mtrr_restore
              -> stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu
                -> queue_stop_cpus_work
                  ...
                    -> sched_clock
                      -> kvm_clock_read
which is well before x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev call in
start_secondary, where percpu clock is initialized.

This patch introduces a hook that allows to setup/initialize
per_cpu clock early and avoid overflow due to reading
  - undefined values
  - old values if cpu was offlined and then onlined again

Another possible early user of this clock source is ftrace that
accesses it to get timestamps for ring buffer entries. So if
mtrr_ap_init is moved from identify_secondary_cpu to past
x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev in start_secondary, ftrace
may cause the same overflow/hang on cpu hot-plug anyway.
