2009-02-23x86: refactor x86_quirks supportIngo Molnar
Impact: cleanup Make x86_quirks support more transparent. The highlevel methods are now named: extern void x86_quirk_pre_intr_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_intr_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_trap_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_pre_time_init(void); extern void x86_quirk_time_init(void); This makes it clear that if some platform extension has to do something here that it is considered ... weird, and is discouraged. Also remove arch_hooks.h and move it into setup.h (and other header files where appropriate). Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-02-12x86: warn if arch_flush_lazy_mmu_cpu is called in preemptible contextThomas Gleixner
Impact: Catch cases where lazy MMU state is active in a preemtible context arch_flush_lazy_mmu_cpu() has been changed to disable preemption so the checks in enter/leave will never trigger. Put the preemtible() check into arch_flush_lazy_mmu_cpu() to catch such cases. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-02-12x86/paravirt: make arch_flush_lazy_mmu/cpu disable preemptionJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: avoid access to percpu vars in preempible context They are intended to be used whenever there's the possibility that there's some stale state which is going to be overwritten with a queued update, or to force a state change when we may be in lazy mode. Either way, we could end up calling it with preemption enabled, so wrap the functions in their own little preempt-disable section so they can be safely called in any context (though preemption should never be enabled if we're actually in a lazy state). (Move out of line to avoid #include dependencies.) Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2009-01-30x86/paravirt: use callee-saved convention for pte_val/make_pte/etcJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: Optimization In the native case, pte_val, make_pte, etc are all just identity functions, so there's no need to clobber a lot of registers over them. (This changes the 32-bit callee-save calling convention to return both EAX and EDX so functions can return 64-bit values.)

2009-01-30x86/paravirt: add register-saving thunks to reduce caller register pressureJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: Optimization One of the problems with inserting a pile of C calls where previously there were none is that the register pressure is greatly increased. The C calling convention says that the caller must expect a certain set of registers may be trashed by the callee, and that the callee can use those registers without restriction. This includes the function argument registers, and several others. This patch seeks to alleviate this pressure by introducing wrapper thunks that will do the register saving/restoring, so that the callsite doesn't need to worry about it, but the callee function can be conventional compiler-generated code. In many cases (particularly performance-sensitive cases) the callee will be in assembler anyway, and need not use the compiler's calling convention. Standard calling convention is: arguments return scratch x86-32 eax edx ecx eax ? x86-64 rdi rsi rdx rcx rax r8 r9 r10 r11 The thunk preserves all argument and scratch registers. The return register is not preserved, and is available as a scratch register for unwrapped callee code (and of course the return value). Wrapped function pointers are themselves wrapped in a struct paravirt_callee_save structure, in order to get some warning from the compiler when functions with mismatched calling conventions are used. The most common paravirt ops, both statically and dynamically, are interrupt enable/disable/save/restore, so handle them first. This is particularly easy since their calls are handled specially anyway. XXX Deal with VMI. What's their calling convention? Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-01-30x86/pvops: add a paravirt_ident functions to allow special patchingJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: Optimization Several paravirt ops implementations simply return their arguments, the most obvious being the make_pte/pte_val class of operations on native. On 32-bit, the identity function is literally a no-op, as the calling convention uses the same registers for the first argument and return. On 64-bit, it can be implemented with a single "mov". This patch adds special identity functions for 32 and 64 bit argument, and machinery to recognize them and replace them with either nops or a mov as appropriate. At the moment, the only users for the identity functions are the pagetable entry conversion functions. The result is a measureable improvement on pagetable-heavy benchmarks (2-3%, reducing the pvops overhead from 5 to 2%).

2009-01-22x86/pvops: remove pte_flags pvopJeremy Fitzhardinge
pte_flags() was introduced as a new pvop in order to extract just the flags portion of a pte, which is a potentially cheaper operation than extracting the page number as well. It turns out this operation is not needed, because simply using a mask to extract the flags from a pte is sufficient for all current users.

(Jeremy said: rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK When I asked: jsgf: does that include the NX flag? He responded eloquently: rusty: use PTE_MASK rusty: use PTE_MASK yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes ) Change a15af1c9ea2750a9ff01e51615c45950bad8221b 'x86/paravirt: add pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags() in favor of a generic one. Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits: this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing up host memory. Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems safest to always do the filtering.

2008-07-18x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternativesMaciej W. Rozycki
Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time. Remove the X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed. Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have used it for readability's sake. I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days). Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I have disregarded it. I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at the next run. Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will everywhere.

2008-07-16paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementationJeremy Fitzhardinge
Implement a version of the old spinlock algorithm, in which everyone spins waiting for a lock byte. In order to be compatible with the ticket-lock's use of a zero initializer, this uses the convention of '0' for unlocked and '1' for locked. This algorithm is much better than ticket locks in a virtual envionment, because it doesn't interact badly with the vcpu scheduler. If there are multiple vcpus spinning on a lock and the lock is released, the next vcpu to be scheduled will take the lock, rather than cycling around until the next ticketed vcpu gets it. To use this, you must call paravirt_use_bytelocks() very early, before any spinlocks have been taken.

2008-07-16x86/paravirt: add hooks for spinlock operationsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Ticket spinlocks have absolutely ghastly worst-case performance characteristics in a virtual environment. If there is any contention for physical CPUs (ie, there are more runnable vcpus than cpus), then ticket locks can cause the system to end up spending 90+% of its time spinning. The problem is that (v)cpus waiting on a ticket spinlock will be granted access to the lock in strict order they got their tickets. If the hypervisor scheduler doesn't give the vcpus time in that order, they will burn timeslices waiting for the scheduler to give the right vcpu some time. In the worst case it could take O(n^2) vcpu scheduler timeslices for everyone waiting on the lock to get it, not counting new cpus trying to take the lock while the log-jam is sorted out. These hooks allow a paravirt backend to replace the spinlock implementation. At the very least, this could revert the implementation back to the old lock algorithm, which allows the next scheduled vcpu to take the lock, and has basically fairly good performance. It also allows the spinlocks to take advantages of the hypervisor features to make locks more efficient (spin and block, for example). The cost to native execution is an extra direct call when using a spinlock function. There's no overhead if CONFIG_PARAVIRT is turned off. The lock structure is fixed at a single "unsigned int", initialized to zero, but the spinlock implementation can use it as it wishes. Thanks to Thomas Friebel's Xen Summit talk "Preventing Guests from Spinning Around" for pointing out this problem.
