2008-04-22[IA64] disable interrupts on exit of ia64_trace_syscallHidetoshi Seto
While testing with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y, I found that I occasionally get very huge system time in some threads. So I dug the issue and finally noticed that it was caused because of an interrupt which interrupt in the following window: > [arch/ia64/kernel/entry.S: (!CONFIG_PREEMPT && CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING)] > > ENTRY(ia64_leave_syscall) > : > (pUStk) rsm psr.i > cmp.eq pLvSys,p0=r0,r0 // pLvSys=1: leave from syscall > (pUStk) cmp.eq.unc p6,p0=r0,r0 // p6 <- pUStk > .work_processed_syscall: > adds r2=PT(LOADRS)+16,r12 > (pUStk) mov.m r22=ar.itc // fetch time at leave > adds r18=TI_FLAGS+IA64_TASK_SIZE,r13 > ;; > <<< window: from here >>> > (p6) ld4 r31=[r18] // load current_thread_info()->flags > ld8 r19=[r2],PT(B6)-PT(LOADRS) > adds r3=PT(AR_BSPSTORE)+16,r12 > ;; > mov r16=ar.bsp > ld8 r18=[r2],PT(R9)-PT(B6) > (p6) and r15=TIF_WORK_MASK,r31 // any work other than TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE? > ;; > ld8 r23=[r3],PT(R11)-PT(AR_BSPSTORE) > (p6) cmp4.ne.unc p6,p0=r15, r0 // any special work pending? > (p6) br.cond.spnt .work_pending_syscall > ;; > ld8 r9=[r2],PT(CR_IPSR)-PT(R9) > ld8 r11=[r3],PT(CR_IIP)-PT(R11) > (pNonSys) break 0 // bug check: we shouldn't be here if pNonSys is TRUE! > ;; > invala > <<< window: to here >>> > rsm psr.i | psr.ic // turn off interrupts and interruption collection If pUStk is true, it means we are going to return user mode, hence we fetch ar.itc to get time at leave from system. It seems that it is not possible to interrupt the window if pUStk is true, because interrupts are disabled early. And also disabling interrupt makes sense because it is safe for referring current_thread_info()->flags. However interrupting the window while pUStk is true was possible. The route was: ia64_trace_syscall -> .work_pending_syscall_end -> .work_processed_syscall Only in case entering the window from this route, interrupts are enabled during in the window even if pUStk is true. I suppose interrupts must be disabled here anyway if pUStk is true. I'm not sure but afraid that what kind of bad effect were there, other than crazy system time which I found. FYI, there was a commit 6f6d75825dc49b082906b84537b4df28293c2977 that points out a bug at same point(exit of ia64_trace_syscall) in 2006. It can be said that there was an another bug.

2008-04-15[IA64] kdump: Add crash_save_vmcoreinfo for INITTakao Indoh
This patch fixes the problem that kdump by INIT does not work if we use makedumpfile. The problem is that after INIT is issued, 2nd kernel starts and makedumpfile fails with the following error message. /proc/vmcore doesn't contain vmcoreinfo. '-x' or '-i' must be specified. makedumpfile Failed. The cause of this problem is that kernel does not call crash_save_vmcoreinfo. When kdump starts by panic or sysrq-trigger, crash_save_vmcoreinfo is called by crash_kexec. But this function is not called when kdump starts by INIT. The Attached patch fixes this. This patch just adds crash_save_vmcoreinfo into machine_kdump_on_init so that crash_save_vmcoreinfo can be called when kdump starts by INIT.

2008-04-11[IA64] Fix NUMA configuration issueZoltan Menyhart
There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24: A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout: Node 0: 0 - 2 Gbytes Node 0: 4 - 8 Gbytes Node 1: 8 - 16 Gbytes Node 0: 16 - 18 Gbytes "efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one. "register_active_ranges()" is called as follows: efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL); i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node number from the start address, and registers all the memory for the node #0. "register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to make sure there is no merged address range at its entry: efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges); "filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()", but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

2008-04-09[IA64] kprobes: kprobe-booster for ia64Masami Hiramatsu
Add kprobe-booster support on ia64. Kprobe-booster improves the performance of kprobes by eliminating single-step, where possible. Currently, kprobe-booster is implemented on x86 and x86-64. This is an ia64 port. On ia64, kprobe-booster executes a copied bundle directly, instead of single stepping. Bundles which have B or X unit and which may cause an exception (including break) are not executed directly. And also, to prevent hitting break exceptions on the copied bundle, only the hindmost kprobe is executed directly if several kprobes share a bundle and are placed in different slots. Note: set_brl_inst() is used for preparing an instruction buffer(it does not modify any active code), so it does not need any atomic operation.

2008-04-09[IA64] fix getpid and set_tid_address fast system calls for pid namespacesPavel Emelyanov
The sys_getpid() and sys_set_tid_address() behavior changed from return current->tgid to struct pid *pid; pid = current->pids[PIDTYPE_PID].pid; return pid->numbers[pid->level].nr; But the fast system calls on ia64 still operate the old way. Patch them appropriately to let ia64 work with pid namespaces. Besides, this is one more step in deprecating of pid and tgid on task_struct. The fsys_getppid() is to be patched as well, but its logic is much more complex now, so I will make it later. One thing I'm not 100% sure is the trick with the IA64_UPID_SHIFT. On order to access the pid->level's element of an array I have to perform the following calculations pid + sizeof(struct upid) * pid->level The problem is that ia64 can only multiply float point registers, while all the offsets I have in code are in rXX ones. Fortunately, the sizeof(struct upid) is 32 bytes on ia64 (and is very unlikely to ever change), so the calculations get simpler: pid + pid->level << 5 So, I introduce the IA64_UPID_SHIFT and use the shl instruction. I also looked at how gcc compiles the similar place and found that it makes it with shift as well. Is this OK to do so? Tested with ski emulator with 2.6.24 kernel, but fits 2.6.25-rc4 and 2.6.25-rc4-mm1 as well.

2008-04-04[IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction supportFenghua Yu
According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions. But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB in parallel. The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).

This is the 32-bit regset implementation under IA64. Basically register read/write, which is derived from current ptrace register read/write. This version added TLS support. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2008-03-10[IA64] cleanup and improve fsys_gettimeofdayHidetoshi Seto
This patch does: - Remove outdated comments (which someday I marked with "?"). - Reassemble instructions to fit them in fewer bundles. - If McKinley Errata 9 workaround is not needed, the workaround bundles will be patched out with NOPs. However it also not needed to have a totally NOP bundle (nop * 3) before branch. As a result, this makes the code path 3 (or 2) bundles shorter (and remove 1 unnecessary stop bit). It seems to be 1% faster.
