git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen into x86/apic
|
|
With refactoring of wake_cpu macros the 32bit code in tip doesn't
execute generic_apic_probe if CONFIG_X86_32_NON_STANDARD is not set.
Even on a x86 STANDARD cpu we need to execute the generic_apic_probe
function, as we rely on this function to execute the update_genapic
quirk which initilizes apic->wakeup_cpu.
Failing to do so results in we making a call to a null function in do_boot_cpu.
The stack trace without the patch goes like this.

The constraint used for retrieving and restoring the parent function
pointer is incorrect. The parent variable is a pointer, and the
address of the pointer is modified by the asm statement and not
the pointer itself. It is incorrect to pass it in as an output
constraint since the asm will never update the pointer.

Impact: fix to prevent a kernel crash on fault
If for some reason the pointer to the parent function on the
stack takes a fault, the fix up code will not return back to
the original faulting code. This can lead to unpredictable
results and perhaps even a kernel panic.
A fault should not happen, but if it does, we should simply
disable the tracer, warn, and continue running the kernel.
It should not lead to a kernel crash.

do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
of configuration in the current code.
This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
like normal C functions do. This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
used.
This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
somewhat working.

Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case
pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations,
and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the
pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path.
As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the
pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a
page table page.
After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance
and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots).
Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from
the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the
monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1].
This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the
monitored address was recently written to.

disable_ioapic_setup()
Impact: cleanup
disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is
x86-specific. The #ifdef inline prototype there is ugly too.
Replace it with a generic arch_disable_smp_support() function - which
has a weak alias for non-x86 architectures and for non-ioapic x86 builds.

At this time, the PowerNow! driver for K8 uses an experimentally
derived formula to calculate transition latency. The value it
provides is orders of magnitude too large on modern systems.
This patch replaces the formula with ACPI _PSS latency values
for more accuracy and better performance.
I've tested it on two 2nd generation Opteron systems, a 3rd
generation Operton system, and a Turion X2 without seeing any
stability problems.

There's a small problem with hpet_rtc_reinit function - it checks
for the:
hpet_readl(HPET_COUNTER) - hpet_t1_cmp > 0
to continue increasing both the HPET_T1_CMP (register) and the
hpet_t1_cmp (variable).
But since the HPET_COUNTER is always 32-bit, if the hpet_t1_cmp
is 64-bit this condition will always be FALSE once the latter hits
the 32-bit boundary, and we can have a situation, when we don't
increase the HPET_T1_CMP register high enough.
The result - timer stops ticking, since HPET_T1_CMP becomes less,
than the COUNTER and never increased again.
The solution is (based on Linus's suggestion) to not compare 64-bits
(on 64-bit x86), but to do the comparison on 32-bit signed
integers.

Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked
ACPI MP table (MADT)
Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with
missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process
due to the APIC not being initialized. Fix that by falling back to the
default APIC base address in 32bit code, as it is done in the 64bit

This is precisely compatible with the calling convention, so we can
just call them directly without wrapping.
(Compile tested only.)

[
mingo@elte.hu: these fixes are a subset of changes cherry-picked from:
git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jejb/voyager-2.6.git
They fix various problems that recent x86 changes caused in the Voyager
subarchitecture: both APIC changes and cpumask changes and certain
cleanups caused subarch assumptions to break.
Most of these changes are obsolete as the subarch code has been removed
from the x86 development tree - but we merge them upstream to make Voyager
build and boot.

Impact: split out a function, no functional change
Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For
various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does,
however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no
pressing need to reload the gdt.
Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call
it directly.

Impact: cleanup, prepare for xen boot fix.
Xen needs to call this function very early to setup the GDT and
per-cpu segments. Remove the call to smp_processor_id() and just
pass in the cpu number.
