17 years agoi386: do not restore reserved memory after hibernation
Rafael J. Wysocki [Sat, 21 Jul 2007 15:11:09 +0000 (17:11 +0200)]
i386: do not restore reserved memory after hibernation

On some systems the ACPI NVS area is located in the first 1 MB of RAM and
it is overwritten by the i386 code during the restore after hibernation.
This confuses the ACPI platform firmware that doesn't update the AC adapter
status appropriately as a result
(http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7995).

The solution is to register the reserved memory in the first 1 MB as
'nosave', so that swsusp doesn't touch it during the restore.  Also, this
has been done on x86_64 for a long time now, so this patch makes the i386
restore code behave like the x86_64 one.

17 years agox86_64: check remote IRR bit before migrating level triggered irq
Eric W. Biederman [Sat, 21 Jul 2007 15:10:45 +0000 (17:10 +0200)]
x86_64: check remote IRR bit before migrating level triggered irq

On x86_64 kernel, level triggered irq migration gets initiated in the
context of that interrupt(after executing the irq handler) and following
steps are followed to do the irq migration.

1. mask IOAPIC RTE entry;     // write to IOAPIC RTE
2. EOI;                       // processor EOI write
3. reprogram IOAPIC RTE entry // write to IOAPIC RTE with new destination and
                              // and interrupt vector due to per cpu vector
                              // allocation.
4. unmask IOAPIC RTE entry;   // write to IOAPIC RTE

Because of the per cpu vector allocation in x86_64 kernels, when the irq
migrates to a different cpu, new vector(corresponding to the new cpu) will
get allocated.

An EOI write to local APIC has a side effect of generating an EOI write for
level trigger interrupts (normally this is a broadcast to all IOAPICs).
The EOI broadcast generated as a side effect of EOI write to processor may
be delayed while the other IOAPIC writes (step 3 and 4) can go through.

Normally, the EOI generated by local APIC for level trigger interrupt
contains vector number.  The IOAPIC will take this vector number and search
the IOAPIC RTE entries for an entry with matching vector number and clear
the remote IRR bit (indicate EOI).  However, if the vector number is
changed (as in step 3) the IOAPIC will not find the RTE entry when the EOI
is received later.  This will cause the remote IRR to get stuck causing the
interrupt hang (no more interrupt from this RTE).

Current x86_64 kernel assumes that remote IRR bit is cleared by the time
IOAPIC RTE is reprogrammed.  Fix this assumption by checking for remote IRR
bit and if it still set, delay the irq migration to the next interrupt
arrival event(hopefully, next time remote IRR bit will get cleared before
the IOAPIC RTE is reprogrammed).

Initial analysis and patch from Nanhai.

Clean up patch from Suresh.

17 years agox86_64: mcelog tolerant level cleanup
Tim Hockin [Sat, 21 Jul 2007 15:10:37 +0000 (17:10 +0200)]
x86_64: mcelog tolerant level cleanup

Background:
 The MCE handler has several paths that it can take, depending on various
 conditions of the MCE status and the value of the 'tolerant' knob.  The
 exact semantics are not well defined and the code is a bit twisty.

Description:
 This patch makes the MCE handler's behavior more clear by documenting the
 behavior for various 'tolerant' levels.  It also fixes or enhances
 several small things in the handler.  Specifically:
     * If RIPV is set it is not safe to restart, so set the 'no way out'
       flag rather than the 'kill it' flag.
     * Don't panic() on correctable MCEs.
     * If the _OVER bit is set *and* the _UC bit is set (meaning possibly
       dropped uncorrected errors), set the 'no way out' flag.
     * Use EIPV for testing whether an app can be killed (SIGBUS) rather
       than RIPV.  According to docs, EIPV indicates that the error is
       related to the IP, while RIPV simply means the IP is valid to
       restart from.
     * Don't clear the MCi_STATUS registers until after the panic() path.
       This leaves the status bits set after the panic() so clever BIOSes
       can find them (and dumb BIOSes can do nothing).

 This patch also calls nonseekable_open() in mce_open (as suggested by akpm).

Result:
 Tolerant levels behave almost identically to how they always have, but
 not it's well defined.  There's a slightly higher chance of panic()ing
 when multiple errors happen (a good thing, IMHO).  If you take an MBE and
 panic(), the error status bits are not cleared.

Alternatives:
 None.

Testing:
 I used software to inject correctable and uncorrectable errors.  With
 tolerant = 3, the system usually survives.  With tolerant = 2, the system
 usually panic()s (PCC) but not always.  With tolerant = 1, the system
 always panic()s.  When the system panic()s, the BIOS is able to detect
 that the cause of death was an MC4.  I was not able to reproduce the
 case of a non-PCC error in userspace, with EIPV, with (tolerant < 3).
 That will be rare at best.

17 years agox86_64: support poll() on /dev/mcelog
Tim Hockin [Sat, 21 Jul 2007 15:10:36 +0000 (17:10 +0200)]
x86_64: support poll() on /dev/mcelog

Background:
 /dev/mcelog is typically polled manually.  This is less than optimal for
 situations where accurate accounting of MCEs is important.  Calling
 poll() on /dev/mcelog does not work.

Description:
 This patch adds support for poll() to /dev/mcelog.  This results in
 immediate wakeup of user apps whenever the poller finds MCEs.  Because
 the exception handler can not take any locks, it can not call the wakeup
 itself.  Instead, it uses a thread_info flag (TIF_MCE_NOTIFY) which is
 caught at the next return from interrupt or exit from idle, calling the
 mce_user_notify() routine.  This patch also disables the "fake panic"
 path of the mce_panic(), because it results in printk()s in the exception
 handler and crashy systems.

 This patch also does some small cleanup for essentially unused variables,
 and moves the user notification into the body of the poller, so it is
 only called once per poll, rather than once per CPU.

Result:
 Applications can now poll() on /dev/mcelog.  When an error is logged
 (whether through the poller or through an exception) the applications are
 woken up promptly.  This should not affect any previous behaviors.  If no
 MCEs are being logged, there is no overhead.

Alternatives:
 I considered simply supporting poll() through the poller and not using
 TIF_MCE_NOTIFY at all.  However, the time between an uncorrectable error
 happening and the user application being notified is *the*most* critical
 window for us.  Many uncorrectable errors can be logged to the network if
 given a chance.

 I also considered doing the MCE poll directly from the idle notifier, but
 decided that was overkill.

Testing:
 I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors
 and verified that my user app is woken up in sync with the polling interval.
 I also used the northbridge to inject uncorrectable ECC errors, and
 verified (printk() to the rescue) that the notify routine is called and the
 user app does wake up.  I built with PREEMPT on and off, and verified
 that my machine survives MCEs.

x86_64: O_EXCL on /dev/mcelog

Background:
 /dev/mcelog is a clear-on-read interface.  It is currently possible for
 multiple users to open and read() the device.  Users are protected from
 each other during any one read, but not across reads.

Description:
 This patch adds support for O_EXCL to /dev/mcelog.  If a user opens the
 device with O_EXCL, no other user may open the device (EBUSY).  Likewise,
 any user that tries to open the device with O_EXCL while another user has
 the device will fail (EBUSY).

Result:
 Applications can get exclusive access to /dev/mcelog.  Applications that
 do not care will be unchanged.

Alternatives:
 A simpler choice would be to only allow one open() at all, regardless of
 O_EXCL.

Testing:
 I wrote an application that opens /dev/mcelog with O_EXCL and observed
 that any other app that tried to open /dev/mcelog would fail until the
 exclusive app had closed the device.

Caveats:
 None.

emulated state.

When NUMA emulation has successfully setup fake nodes on the system, a new
function, acpi_fake_nodes() is called.  This function determines the proximity
domain (_PXM) for each true node found on the system.  It then finds which
emulated nodes have been allocated on this true node as determined by its
starting address.  The node ID to PXM mapping is changed so that each fake
node ID points to the PXM of the true node that it is located on.

If the machine failed to register a SLIT, then we assume there is no special
requirement for emulated node affinity so we use the default LOCAL_DISTANCE,
which is newly exported to this code, as our measurement if the emulated nodes
appear in the same PXM.  Otherwise, we use REMOTE_DISTANCE.

PXM_INVAL and NID_INVAL are also exported to the ACPI header file so that we

x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu

This implements new vDSO for x86-64.  The concept is similar
to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC.  x86-64 has had static
vsyscalls before,  but these are not flexible enough anymore.

A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into
user address space.  The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process
for security reasons.

Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime
always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed
address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write.

The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0

It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized
clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster
than the one in the old vsyscall.  clock_gettime is significantly faster
than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.

The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall.

Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls:
- Extensible
- Randomized
- Cleaner
- Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes
overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it)

Weak points:
- glibc support still to be written

The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.

x86: Support __attribute__((__cold__)) in gcc 4.3

gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any
path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc
will try to generate smaller code for the function itself.

Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most
cases it is not worth uglifying code with this.

This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk()
as cold.  This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although
we can keep them for now for older compilers.

BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell
gcc to mark a inline function told.

Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os
build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code
for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels,
but that might change in the future.

One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented
to verify them.

Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this.
Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older
snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are
unreleased compilers that nobody should be using.

gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using
this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able
to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os,
if that happens it should be added.

This patch adds support for the Simtek STK17TA8 timekeeping chip.

The STK17TA8 is quite similar to the DS1553, but differs in register layout
and in various control bits in the registers.  I chose to make this a new
driver to avoid confusion in the code and to not get lost in #ifdefs.

slob: reduce list scanning

which results in small allocations and free segments clustering at the
beginning of the list over time.  This causes the average search to scan
over a large stretch at the beginning on each allocation.

By starting each page search where the last one left off, we evenly
distribute the allocations and greatly shorten the average search.
