2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Move cpu verification code to common fileVivek Goyal
o This patch moves the code to verify long mode and SSE to a common file. This code is now shared by trampoline.S, wakeup.S, boot/setup.S and boot/compressed/head.S o So far we used to do very limited check in trampoline.S, wakeup.S and in 32bit entry point. Now all the entry paths are forced to do the exhaustive check, including SSE because verify_cpu is shared. o I am keeping this patch as last in the x86 relocatable series because previous patches have got quite some amount of testing done and don't want to distrub that. So that if there is problem introduced by this patch, at least it can be easily isolated. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: build-time checkingVivek Goyal
o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons. - Performance. - For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference between compile time address and load time physical address. This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time kernel addresses are 2MB aligned. o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which does not meet alignment restrictions.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Relocatable Kernel SupportVivek Goyal
This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run at any 2M aligned address, below 512G. The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable. For the main kernel the page tables are modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address. In addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address the kernel is loaded at. __pa_symbol is modified to add that when we take the address of a kernel symbol. When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress the kernel to 2M and it will run there. This both ensures the relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M pages for the kernel and the cpu. AK: changed to not make RELOCATABLE default in Kconfig Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separationVivek Goyal
Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map. But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two. __pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address spaces. This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as __pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve the address. There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data __pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages. Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to __pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one. A little of it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it instead of recalculating it several times. swapper_pgd is now NULL. leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time) to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd. The physical address changed. Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization. So this should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated kernel. As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout for anything I missed. But it works for me (tm). Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Move swsusp __pa() dependent code to arch portionVivek Goyal
o __pa() should be used only on kernel linearly mapped virtual addresses and not on kernel text and data addresses. o Hibernation code needs to determine the physical address associated with kernel symbol to mark a section boundary which contains pages which don't have to be saved and restored during hibernate/resume operation. o Move this piece of code in arch dependent section. So that architectures which don't have kernel text/data mapped into kernel linearly mapped region can come up with their own ways of determining physical addresses associated with a kernel text.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possibleVivek Goyal
With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages, once we start executing C code. So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code. The functions are subtly different thus the name change. This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible, and is now no longer needed. Essentially I have replaced boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: 64bit ACPI wakeup trampolineVivek Goyal
o Moved wakeup_level4_pgt into the wakeup routine so we can run the kernel above 4G. o Now we first go to 64bit mode and continue to run from trampoline and then then start accessing kernel symbols and restore processor context. This enables us to resume even in relocatable kernel context when kernel might not be loaded at physical addr it has been compiled for. o Removed the need for modifying any existing kernel page table. o Increased the size of the wakeup routine to 8K. This is required as wake page tables are on trampoline itself and they got to be at 4K boundary, hence one page is not sufficient. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

o Various cleanups. One of the main purpose of cleanups is that make wakeup.S as close as possible to trampoline.S. o Following are the changes - Indentations for comments. - Changed the gdt table to compact form and to resemble the one in trampoline.S - Take the jump to 32bit from real mode using ljmpl. Makes code more readable. - After enabling long mode, directly take a long jump for 64bit mode. No need to take an extra jump to "reach_comaptibility_mode" - Stack is not used after real mode. So don't load stack in 32 bit mode. - No need to enable PGE here. - No need to do extra EFER read, anyway we trash the read contents. - No need to enable system call (EFER_SCE). Anyway it will be enabled when original EFER is restored. - No need to set MP, ET, NE, WP, AM bits in cr0. Very soon we will reload the original cr0 while restroing the processor state.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: 64bit PIC SMP trampolineVivek Goyal
This modifies the SMP trampoline and all of the associated code so it can jump to a 64bit kernel loaded at an arbitrary address. The dependencies on having an idenetity mapped page in the kernel page tables for SMP bootup have all been removed. In addition the trampoline has been modified to verify that long mode is supported. Asking if long mode is implemented is down right silly but we have traditionally had some of these checks, and they can't hurt anything.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Kill temp boot pmdsVivek Goyal
Early in the boot process we need the ability to set up temporary mappings, before our normal mechanisms are initialized. Currently this is used to map pages that are part of the page tables we are building and pages during the dmi scan. The core problem is that we are using the user portion of the page tables to implement this. Which means that while this mechanism is active we cannot catch NULL pointer dereferences and we deviate from the normal ways of handling things. In this patch I modify early_ioremap to map pages into the kernel portion of address space, roughly where we will later put modules, and I make the discovery of which addresses we can use dynamic which removes all kinds of static limits and remove the dependencies on implementation details between different parts of the code. Now alloc_low_page() and unmap_low_page() use early_iomap() and early_iounmap() to allocate/map and unmap a page. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: x86_64 make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon (take 2)Stephane Eranian
Hello, This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the IA32 SDM Vol 3b). This versions has 3 chunks compared to previous where we had missed on check. Changelog: - make the x86-64 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo). This allows PEBS to work when the NMI watchdog is active. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: optimize & fix APIC mode setupIngo Molnar
Fix a couple of inconsistencies/problems I found while reviewing the x86_64 genapic code (when I was chasing mysterious eth0 timeouts that would only trigger if CPU_HOTPLUG is enabled): - AMD systems defaulted to the slower flat-physical mode instead of the flat-logical mode. The only restriction on AMD systems is that they should not use clustered APIC mode. - removed the CPU hotplug hacks, switching the default for small systems back from phys-flat to logical-flat. The switching to logical flat mode on small systems fixed sporadic ethernet driver timeouts i was getting on a dual-core Athlon64 system: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 80. eth0: Tx queue start entry 32 dirty entry 28. eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a04a. (queue head) eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008a04a. eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0008a04a. eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008a04a. eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1 - The use of '<= 8' was a bug by itself (the valid APIC ids for logical flat mode go from 0 to 7, not 0 to 8). The new logic is to use logical flat mode on both AMD and Intel systems, and to only switch to physical mode when logical mode cannot be used. If CPU hotplug is racy wrt. APIC shutdown then CPU hotplug needs fixing, not the whole IRQ system be made inconsistent and slowed down. - minor cleanups: simplified some code constructs build & booted on a couple of AMD and Intel SMP systems.

2007-04-02[PATCH] x86-64: Let oprofile reserve MSR on all CPUsAndi Kleen
The MSR reservation is per CPU and oprofile would only allocate them on the CPU it was initialized on. Change this to handle all CPUs. This also fixes a warning about unprotected use of smp_processor_id() in preemptible kernels. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2007-03-27[PATCH] Revert "swsusp: disable nonboot CPUs before entering platform suspend"Rafael J. Wysocki
This reverts commit 94985134b7b46848267ed6b734320db01c974e72 and insteads removes the WARN_ON() that caused that commit in the first place. The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't work well on Thomas' system. So instead, remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c: init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't seem to occur in practice. [ I think we might want to disallow the case of multiple users of that mm, or something. Normally, playing with the current process page tables on the current CPU should be fine as long as we don't have other threads using those tables at the same time.. Anyway, not pretty, but better than the warning or the lockup - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-03-23[PATCH] x86_64: avoid sending LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR IPI to itselfThomas Gleixner
Ray Lee reported, that on an UP kernel with "noapic" command line option set, the box locks hard during boot. Adding some debug printks revealed, that the last action on the box before stalling was "Send IPI" - a debug printk which was put into smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi(). It seems that send_IPI_mask(mask, LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR) fails when "noapic" is set on the command line on an UP kernel. Aside of that it does not make much sense to trigger an interrupt instead of calling the function directly on the CPU which gets the PIT/HPET interrupt in case of broadcasting.
