2005-11-15[PATCH] ia64: cpu_idle performance bug fixChen, Kenneth W
Our performance validation on 2.6.15-rc1 caught a disastrous performance regression on ia64 with netperf (-98%) and volanomark (-58%) compares to previous kernel version 2.6.14-git7. See the following chart (result group 1 & 2). http://kernel-perf.sourceforge.net/results.machine_id=26.html We have root caused it to commit 64c7c8f88559624abdbe12b5da6502e8879f8d28 This changeset broke the ia64 task resched notification. In sched.c:resched_task(), a reschedule IPI is conditioned upon TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG. However, the above changeset unconditionally set the polling thread flag for idle tasks regardless whether pal_halt_light is in use or not. As a result, resched IPI is not sent from resched_task(). And since the default behavior on ia64 is to use pal_halt_light, we end up delaying the rescheduling task until next timer tick, and thus cause the performance regression. This fixes the performance bug. I'm glad our performance suite is turning up bad performance bug like this in time.

pagefault tracing CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone. This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time. Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing. That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically only useful at boot.

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Make node boundaries consistentMagnus Damm
The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option that is used. setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might lose a page at the end of the range. This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is the same way as the single node code. The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations, but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Make ACPI NUMA and NUMA emulation peers of K8_NUMA in KconfigRavikiran G Thirumalai
On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose K8_NUMA. CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes. It also looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu. This patch fixes those oddities. Patch does the following: 1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches 2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA 3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard "Processor type and features" menu AK: I fixed up the dependencies and changed the help texts a bit on top of Kiran's patch.

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Use common sys_time64Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and buggy) copy of sys_time. The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is a time_t, i.e. a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int (32-bit). The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME). Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: New heuristics to find out hotpluggable CPUs.Andi Kleen
With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now) The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would lead to this memory wastage. This implements some new heuristics: - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit, but seems like a obvious extension) - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.

On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter C code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of identity low mapped addresses.

2005-11-14[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Share interrupt vectors when there is a large number of ↵James Cleverdon
interrupt sources Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI. It is meant for a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc. The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540. This is much bigger than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64). Also, there aren't enough vectors to go around. There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F. So, my patch attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zoneAndi Kleen
Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones. As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port was originally designed we had some discussion if we should use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early 2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy. But this has always caused problems since then because device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven it can deal with many zones successfully. So this patch adds both zones. This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.). Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was not enough memory. Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory (like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent, but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better. One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because it seems to be the most common restriction. The new zone is so far added only for x86-64. For other architectures who don't set up this new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32 as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able enough. One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite ugly and is now obsolete. These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
