Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:

| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386.
This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from
2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge
consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86.
The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from
working correctly in gdb.

After upgrading from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke.
Investigating, I found that in the asm that replaces the return value,
gcc was using the same register for the old value as it was for the
new value.
mov (addr), old
mov new, (addr)
But if old and new are the same register, we clobber new with old!
I first thought this was a bug in gcc 4.4.0 and reported it:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40132
Andrew Pinski responded (quickly), saying that it was correct gcc behavior
and the code needed to denote old as an "early clobber".
Instead of "=r"(old), we need "=&r"(old).

Li Zefan and Frederic pointed out the high_width could be -4 some how.
It turns out when phys_addr is 44bit, size_or_mask will be
ffffffff,00000000 so ffs(size_or_mask) will be 0.

with CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP due to null pointer deference in
machine_kexec_32.c: machine_kexec(), when deferencing
kexec_image. Refering to:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13265
This patch fixes the BUG via replacing global variable reference:
kexec_image in machine_kexec() with local variable reference: image,
which is more appropriate, and will not be null.
Same BUG is in machine_kexec_64.c too, so fixed too in the same way.

Commit 7ad728f98162cb1af06a85b2a5fc422dddd4fb78
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:
Example on an AMD Phenom:
physical id : 0
siblings : 1
core id : 3
cpu cores : 4
Before that commit it was:
physical id : 0
siblings : 4
core id : 3
cpu cores : 4
Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:
| --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
| +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
| @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf

This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect

The polling timer while running per CPU still uses a global next_interval
variable, which lead to some CPUs either polling too fast or too slow.
This was not a serious problem because all errors get picked up eventually,
but it's still better to avoid it. Turn next_interval into a per cpu variable.

uv_read_rtc() is referenced by read member of struct clocksource clocksource_uv.

This got introduced recently in:

But arch/x86/kernel/uv_time.c was not properly converted by that pach.
This patch adds a dummy parameter (struct clocksource type) to uv_read_rtc() to

In 64bit signal delivery path, clear_used_math() was happening before saving
the current active FPU state on to the user stack for signal handling. Between
clear_used_math() and the state store on to the user stack, potentially we
can get a page fault for the user address and can block. Infact, while testing
we were hitting the might_fault() in __clear_user() which can do a schedule().
At a later point in time, we will schedule back into this process and
resume the save state (using "xsave/fxsave" instruction) which can lead
to DNA fault. And as used_math was cleared before, we will reinit the FP state
in the DNA fault and continue. This reinit will result in loosing the
FPU state of the process.
Move clear_used_math() to a point after the FPU state has been stored
onto the user stack.
This issue is present from a long time (even before the xsave changes
and the x86 merge). But it can easily be exposed in 2.6.28.x and 2.6.29.x
series because of the __clear_user() in this path, which has an explicit
__cond_resched() leading to a context switch with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY.

Fix endcase where the memory at physical address 0 does not really
exist AND one of the sockets on blade 0 has no active cpus.
The memory that _appears_ to be at physical address 0 is actually
memory that located at a different address but has been remapped by
the chipset so that it appears to be at physical address 0.
When determining the UV pnode, the algorithm for determining the pnode
incorrectly used the relocated physical address instead of the actual
(global) address.

Fix for a regression that was introduced by earlier commit
18b2646fe3babeb40b34a0c1751e0bf5adfdc64c on Mon Apr 6 11:26:08 2009
Regression resulted in the below error happened on systems with
software coordination where per_cpu acpi data will not be initiated for
secondary CPUs in a P-state domain.

I hit the check_flags error of lockdep:

softirqs last disabled at (12568): [<ffffffff8058454e>] tcp_prequeue_process+0x2e/0xa0
The check_flags warning of lockdep tells me that lockdep thought interrupts
were disabled, but they were really enabled.
The numbers in the above parenthesis show the order of events:
12566: softirqs last enabled: lock_sock_nested
12567: hardirqs last enabled: local_bh_enable
12568: softirqs last disabled: tcp_prequeue_process
12566: hardirqs last disabled: int3
int3 is a breakpoint!
Examining this further, I have CONFIG_NET_TCPPROBE enabled which adds
break points into the kernel.
The paranoid_exit of the return of int3 does not account for enabling
interrupts on return to kernel. This code is a bit tricky since it
is also used by the nmi handler (when lockdep is off), and we must be
careful about the swapgs. We can not call kernel code after the swapgs
has been performed.

This patch correctly sets BAU memory mapped registers to point
to the sending activation descriptor table and target payload table.
The "Broadcast Assist Unit" is used for TLB shootdown in UV.
The memory mapped registers that point to sending and receiving
memory structures contain node numbers.
In one case the __pa() function did not provide the node id of
memory on blade zero in configurations where that id is nonzero.
In another case, it was assumed that memory was allocated on
the local node. That assumption is not true in a configuration
in which the node has no memory.
Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

It turns out that 'smp_call_function_many()' doesn't work at all like
'smp_call_function_single()', and my change to Andrew's patch to use it
rather than a loop over all CPU's acpi-cpufreq doesn't work.
My bad.
'smp_call_function_many()' has two "features" (aka "documented bugs"):
(a) it needs to be called with preemption disabled, because it uses
smp_processor_id() without guarding the CPU lookup with 'get_cpu()'
and 'put_cpu()' like the 'single' variant does.
(b) even if the current CPU is part of the CPU mask, it won't do the
call on that CPU.
Still, we're better off trying to use 'smp_call_function_many()' than
looping over CPU's, since it at least in theory allows us to use a
broadcast IPI and do it all in parallel. So let's just work around the
silly semantic bugs in that function.

Revert part of af5c820a3169e81af869c113e18ec7588836cd50 ("x86: cpumask:
use work_on_cpu in arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c")
That change is causing only one Intel CPU's microcode to be updated e.g.
microcode: CPU3 updated from revision 0x9 to 0x17, date = 2005-04-22
where before it announced that also for CPU0 and CPU1 and CPU2.
We cannot use work_on_cpu() in the CONFIG_MICROCODE_OLD_INTERFACE code,
because Intel's request_microcode_user() involves a copy_from_user() from
/sbin/microcode_ctl, which therefore needs to be on that CPU at the time.

This patch enables each partition's BAU distribution bit map
to be partition-relative.
The distribution bitmap had been constructed assuming 0 as the base
node number. That construct would not have allowed a total system of
greater than 256 nodes.
It also corrects an error that occurred when the first blade's nasid
was not zero. That nasid was stored as the base node.
The base node number gets added by hardware to the node numbers implied
in the distribution bitmap, resulting in invalid target nasids.
Tested on the UV hardware simulator.

Yes. The idea here was to force the MSI migration to happen in process
context. One of the patches in the series did
disable_irq(dev->irq);
irq_set_affinity(dev->irq, cpumask_of(dev->cpu));
enable_irq(dev->irq);
with the above patch adding irq/manage code check for interrupt disabled
and moving the interrupt in process context.
IIRC, there was no IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT when we were developing this HPET
code and we ended up having this ugly hack. IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT was there
when we eventually submitted the patch upstream. But, looks like I did a
blind rebasing instead of using IRQ_MOVE_PCNTXT in hpet MSI code.
Below patch fixes this. i.e., revert commit 932775a4ab622e3c99bd59f14cc
and add PCNTXT to HPET MSI setup. Also removes copying of desc->affinity
in generic code as set_affinity routines are doing it internally.

We ended up incorrectly using '&cur' instead of '&readin' in the
work_on_cpu() -> smp_call_function_single() transformation in commit
01599fca6758d2cd133e78f87426fc851c9ea725 ("cpufreq: use
smp_call_function_[single|many]() in acpi-cpufreq.c").
Andrew explains:
"OK, the acpi tree went and had conflicting changes merged into it after
I'd written the patch and it appears that I incorrectly reverted part
of 18b2646fe3babeb40b34a0c1751e0bf5adfdc64c while fixing the resulting
rejects.
Switching it to `readin' looks correct."
