16 years agodebug: move WARN_ON() out of line
Arjan van de Ven [Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:32:50 +0000 (13:32 +0100)]
debug: move WARN_ON() out of line

A quick grep shows that there are currently 1145 instances of WARN_ON
in the kernel. Currently, WARN_ON is pretty much entirely inlined,
which makes it hard to enhance it without growing the size of the kernel
(and getting Andrew unhappy).

This patch build on top of Olof's patch that introduces __WARN,
and places the slowpath out of line. It also uses Ingo's suggestion
to not use __FUNCTION__ but to use kallsyms to do the lookup;
this saves a ton of extra space since gcc doesn't need to store the function
string twice now:

x86: make arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S use a separate

While examining vmlinux namelist on i386 (nm -v vmlinux) I noticed :

c01021d0 t es7000_rename_gsi
c010221a T es7000_start_cpu
<Big Hole>
c0103000 T thread_saved_pc

c0113218 T acpi_restore_state_mem
c0113219 T acpi_save_state_mem
<Big Hole>
c0114000 t wakeup_code

This is because arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.S forces a .text alignment
of 4096 bytes. (I have no idea if it is really needed, since
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_64.S uses a 16 bytes alignment *only*)

So arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o also has this alignment

arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o:     file format elf32-i386

Sections:
Idx Name          Size      VMA       LMA       File off  Algn

                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE

But as arch/x86/kernel/acpi/wakeup_32.o is not the first object linked
into arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o, linker had to build several holes to meet
alignement requirements, because of .o nestings in the kbuild process.

This can be solved by using a special section, .text.page_aligned, so that
no holes are needed.

x86: page.h: move and unify types for pagetable entry definitions

This patch:

1. Defines arch-specific types for the contents of a pagetable entry.
That is, 32-bit entries for 32-bit non-PAE, and 64-bit entries for
32-bit PAE and 64-bit.  However, even though the latter two are the
same size, they're defined with different types in order to retain
compatibility with printk format strings, etc.

2. Defines arch-specific pte_t.  This is different because 32-bit PAE
defines it in two halves, whereas 32-bit PAE and 64-bit define it as a
single entry.  All the other pagetable levels can be defined in a
common way.  This also defines arch-specific pte_val/make_pte functions.

3. Define PAGETABLE_LEVELS for each architecture variation, for later use.

4. Define common pagetable entry accessors in a paravirt-compatible
way. (64-bit does not yet use paravirt-ops in any way).

5. Convert a few instances of using a *_val() as an lvalue where it is
no longer a macro.  There are still places in the 64-bit code which
use pte_val() as an lvalue.

16 years agox86: don't disable TSC in any C states on AMD Fam10h
Andi Kleen [Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:32:41 +0000 (13:32 +0100)]
x86: don't disable TSC in any C states on AMD Fam10h

The ACPI code currently disables TSC use in any C2 and C3
states. But the AMD Fam10h BKDG documents that the TSC
will never stop in any C states when the CONSTANT_TSC bit is
set. Make this disabling conditional on CONSTANT_TSC
not set on AMD.

I actually think this is true on Intel too for C2 states
on CPUs with p-state invariant TSC, but this needs
further discussions with Len to really confirm :-)

So far it is only enabled on AMD.

AMD Fam10h does not disable TSC in any C states so the
check was incorrect there anyways after the change

This allows to use the TSC when C3 is disabled in software

16 years agox86: allow TSC clock source on AMD Fam10h and some cleanup
Andi Kleen [Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:32:40 +0000 (13:32 +0100)]
x86: allow TSC clock source on AMD Fam10h and some cleanup

After a lot of discussions with AMD it turns out that TSC
on Fam10h CPUs is synchronized when the CONSTANT_TSC cpuid bit is set.
Or rather that if there are ever systems where that is not
true it would be their BIOS' task to disable the bit.

So finally use TSC gettimeofday on Fam10h by default.

Or rather it is always used now on CPUs where the AMD
specific CONSTANT_TSC bit is set.

This gives a nice speed bost for gettimeofday() on these systems
which tends to be by far the most common v/syscall.

On a Fam10h system here TSC gtod uses about 20% of the CPU time of
acpi_pm based gtod(). This was measured on 32bit, on 64bit
it is even better because TSC gtod() can use a vsyscall
and stay in ring 3, which acpi_pm doesn't.

The Intel check simply checks for CONSTANT_TSC too without hardcoding
Intel vendor. This is equivalent on 64bit because all 64bit capable Intel
CPUs will have CONSTANT_TSC set.

On Intel there is no CPU supplied CONSTANT_TSC bit currently,
but we synthesize one based on hardcoded knowledge which steppings
have p-state invariant TSC.

So the new logic is now: On CPUs which have the AMD specific
CONSTANT_TSC bit set or on Intel CPUs which are new enough
to be known to have p-state invariant TSC always use
TSC based gettimeofday()

16 years agox86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code
Quentin Barnes [Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:32:32 +0000 (13:32 +0100)]
x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch code

When developing the Kprobes arch code for ARM, I ran across some code
found in x86 and s390 Kprobes arch code which I didn't consider as
good as it could be.

Once I figured out what the code was doing, I changed the code
for ARM Kprobes to work the way I felt was more appropriate.
I've tested the code this way in ARM for about a year and would
like to push the same change to the other affected architectures.

The code in question is in kprobe_exceptions_notify() which
does:
====
          /* kprobe_running() needs smp_processor_id() */
          preempt_disable();
          if (kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
          preempt_enable();
====

For the moment, ignore the code having the preempt_disable()/
preempt_enable() pair in it.

The problem is that kprobe_running() needs to call smp_processor_id()
which will assert if preemption is enabled.  That sanity check by
smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense since calling it with preemption
enabled would return an unreliable result.

But the function kprobe_exceptions_notify() can be called from a
context where preemption could be enabled.  If that happens, the
assertion in smp_processor_id() happens and we're dead.  So what
the original author did (speculation on my part!) is put in the
preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair to simply defeat the check.

Once I figured out what was going on, I considered this an
inappropriate approach.  If kprobe_exceptions_notify() is called
from a preemptible context, we can't be in a kprobe processing
context at that time anyways since kprobes requires preemption to
already be disabled, so just check for preemption enabled, and if
so, blow out before ever calling kprobe_running().  I wrote the ARM
kprobe code like this:
====
          /* To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to
           * trust the result from kprobe_running(), we have
           * be non-preemptible. */
          if (!preemptible() && kprobe_running() &&
              kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr))
                  ret = NOTIFY_STOP;
====

The above code has been working fine for ARM Kprobes for a year.
So I changed the x86 code (2.6.24-rc6) to be the same way and ran
the Systemtap tests on that kernel.  As on ARM, Systemtap on x86
comes up with the same test results either way, so it's a neutral
external functional change (as expected).

This issue has been discussed previously on linux-arm-kernel and the
Systemtap mailing lists.  Pointers to the by base for the two
discussions:

x86: unification of arch/x86/Makefiles

Unify the 32 and 64 bit specific Makefiles.
The unification was simplest to do in one step although the
readability of the patch suffers a bit from this.

Noteworthy remarks on the unification:
- The 64 bit cpu stuff should be moved to Makefile_32.cpu
  but I did not feel confident doing it due to subtle differences
- The use of cflags-y were abandoned since we have seen one bug where
  we did wrong due to missing assignment to KBUILD_CFLAGS.
  The cc-option marcro uses KBUILD_CFLAGS.
- The "No need to remake" line are deleted. It caused "make -B" to fail
- For 64 bit the sub architecture stuff is not used.
- The way head64.o is specified could be nicer - but it awaits the
  introduction of head32.o (which seems like a win to introduce for readability)
- Patch is checkpatch clean

Patch is tested by doing a defconfig build for i386 and x86_64 and in both
cases monitoring that only relevant files were recompiled when applying
the patch.
