2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: timer interrupt lockup due to pending interruptVivek Goyal
o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be locked. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: Basic reorder infrastructureArjan van de Ven
This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries. This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them in a way defined by the linker script. As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this, eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other things. I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel. Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times dramatically. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: Patch to make the head.S-must-be-first-in-vmlinux order explicitArjan van de Ven
This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text section. I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel text. This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to be reordered. This patch puts these special functions into a separate section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly reordering the rest later. (So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by making the order of these functions explicit) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: prefetch the mmap_sem in the fault pathArjan van de Ven
In a micro-benchmark that stresses the pagefault path, the down_read_trylock on the mmap_sem showed up quite high on the profile. Turns out this lock is bouncing between cpus quite a bit and thus is cache-cold a lot. This patch prefetches the lock (for write) as early as possible (and before some other somewhat expensive operations). With this patch, the down_read_trylock basically fell out of the top of profile.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: to use lapic ids instead of initial apic idsRavikiran G Thirumalai
phys_proc_id[] on AMD boxes is right now populated with the initial apic id, obtained by the cpuid instruction. But, the initial apic id need not be the local apic id on clustered APIC systems (see comment at x86_64/kernel/genapic_cluster.c, line 110). On vSMPowered with AMD CPUs the cpu_to_node will turn out to be incorrect (as apicid_to_node[] is indexed by the initial apic id rather than the local apic id). On vSMPowered boxes with Intel CPUs this is working correctly as phys_proc_id[] is initialized correctly in detect_ht(). This fixes AMD boot path according to specification, to use the correct routines for local apic id and socket ids. We use hard_smp_processor_id() to read the local apic id, and phys_pkg_id() to determine socket id for phys_proc_id[] Patch tested on Tyan multicore boxes as well as vSMPowered boxes.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich
callbacks While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier() are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

2006-03-25[PATCH] sys_alarm() unsigned signed conversion fixupThomas Gleixner
alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds. The value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the itimer. The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX. Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion. It's not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the timeval_to_jiffies code. hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as already expired. This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a timeout value > INT_MAX seconds. For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds value to avoid API breakage. Instead of doing this in all implementations of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function in itimer.c Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-24[PATCH] x86_64: {set,clear,test}_bit() related cleanup and pci_mmcfg_init() fixAkinobu Mita
While working on these patch set, I found several possible cleanup on x86-64 and ia64. akpm: I stole this from Andi's queue. Not only does it clean up bitops. It also unrelatedly changes the prototype of pci_mmcfg_init() and removes its arch_initcall(). It seems that the wrong two patches got joined together, but this is the one which has been tested. This patch fixes the current x86_64 build error (the pci_mmcfg_init() declaration in arch/i386/pci/pci.h disagrees with the definition in arch/x86_64/pci/mmconfig.c) This also means that x86_64's pci_mmcfg_init() gets called in the same (new) manner as x86's: from arch/i386/pci/init.c:pci_access_init(), rather than via initcall. The bitops cleanups came along for free. All this worked OK in -mm testing (since 2.6.16-rc4-mm1) because x86_64 was tested with both patches applied.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.

But the patch converts lots of open-coded test to use the preferred helper macros.

2006-03-23[PATCH] x86: early printk handling fixesStas Sergeev
The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init, and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK, booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch, as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope someone else can justify the intrusive changes. arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk(). setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover the bug I was fighting with. early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen, otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you can't read them.

2006-03-22[PATCH] remove set_page_count() outside mm/Nick Piggin
set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1. Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted(). This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed to play around with page->_count.
