Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes.
The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.
This reverts all or part of the following checkins:
cd670599b7c549e71d07
However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a
comment to explain that part.

Jack found a boot crash on a system which doesn't have memory on node0.
It turns out with recent per_cpu changes, node_number for BSP will always
be 0, and it is not consistent to cpu_to_node() that might set it to a
different (nearer) node already.
aka when numa_set_node() for node0 is called early before per_cpu area is
setup:
two places touched that per_cpu(node_number,):
1. in cpu/common.c::cpu_init() and it is not for BP
| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| if (cpu != 0 && percpu_read(node_number) == 0 &&
| cpu_to_node(cpu) != NUMA_NO_NODE)
| percpu_write(node_number, cpu_to_node(cpu));
| #endif
for BP: traps_init ==> cpu_init
for AP: start_secondary ==> cpu_init
2. cpu/intel.c or amd.c::srat_detect_node via numa_set_node()
for BP: check_bugs ==> identify_boot_cpu ==> identify_cpu()
that is rather later before numa_node_id() is used for BP...
for AP: start_secondary => smp_callin => smp_store_cpu_info() =>
=> identify_secondary_cpu => identify_cpu()
so try to set that for BP earlier in setup_per_cpu_areas(), and
don't bother to set that for APs there (it will be updated later
and will be used later)
(and don't mess the 0 before the copying BP per_cpu data to APs)

Recently there were some changes to the meaning of node_possible_map,
and it is quite strange:
- the node without memory would be set in node_possible_map
- but some node with less NODE_MIN_SIZE will be kicked out of node_possible_map.
fix it by adding strict_setup_node_bootmem().
Also, remove unparse_node().
so result will be:
1. cpu_to_node() will return online node only (nearest one)
2. apicid_to_node() still returns the node that could be not online but is set
in node_possible_map.
3. node_possible_map will include nodes that mem on it are less NODE_MIN_SIZE

we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.
Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.
This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:
| commit 8efcbab674
| Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
|
| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386.
This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from
2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge

The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from

If we return -1 in the ops->stack for the stacktrace saving, we end up
breaking out of the loop if the stack we are tracing is in the exception
stack. This causes traces like:
<idle>-0 [002] 34263.745825: raise_softirq_irqoff <-__blk_complete_request
<idle>-0 [002] 34263.745826:
<= 0
<= 0
<= 0

<= 0
By returning "0" instead, the irq stack is saved as well, and we see:
<idle>-0 [003] 883.280992: raise_softirq_irqoff <-__hrtimer_star
t_range_ns

After upgrading from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke.
Investigating, I found that in the asm that replaces the return value,
gcc was using the same register for the old value as it was for the
new value.
mov (addr), old
mov new, (addr)
But if old and new are the same register, we clobber new with old!
I first thought this was a bug in gcc 4.4.0 and reported it:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40132
Andrew Pinski responded (quickly), saying that it was correct gcc behavior
and the code needed to denote old as an "early clobber".
Instead of "=r"(old), we need "=&r"(old).

Ed found that on 32-bit, boot_cpu_physical_apicid is not read right,
when the mptable is broken.
Interestingly, actually three paths use/set it:
1. acpi: at that time that is already read from reg
2. mptable: only read from mptable
3. no madt, and no mptable, that use default apic id 0 for 64-bit, -1 for 32-bit
so we could read the apic id for the 2/3 path. We trust the hardware
register more than we trust a BIOS data structure (the mptable).
We can also avoid the double set_fixmap() when acpi_lapic
is used, and also need to move cpu_has_apic earlier and
call apic_disable().
Also when need to update the apic id, we'd better read and
set the apic version as well - so that quirks are applied precisely.
v2: make path 3 with 64bit, use -1 as apic id, so could read it later.

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.
Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.
Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

Remove the EXPERIMENTAL tag from CONFIG_RELOCATABLE and make it the
default. Relocatable kernels have been used for a while now, and
should now have identical semantics to non-relocatable kernels when
loaded by a non-relocating bootloader.
Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
Default CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN each to 16 MB,
so that both non-relocatable and relocatable kernels are loaded at
16 MB by a non-relocating bootloader. This is somewhat hacky, but it
appears to be the only way to do this that does not break some some
set of existing bootloaders.
We want to avoid the bottom 16 MB because of large page breakup,
memory holes, and ZONE_DMA. Embedded systems may need to reduce this,
or update their bootloaders to be aware of the new min_alignment field.
[ Impact: performance improvement, avoids problems on some systems ]
Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,
memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still
force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.
Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
memory the kernel will require during initialization.

Fix to prevent sched_mc_power_saving from being exported through sysfs
for multi-scoket single core system. Max cores should be always greater than
one (1). My earlier patch that introduced fix for not exporting
'sched_mc_power_saving' on laptops broke it on multi-socket single core
system. This fix addresses issue on both laptop and multi-socket single
core system.

It is expected that there might be slight differences between the e820
map and the SRAT table and the intention was that 1MB of slack be allowed.

not 1MB. This patch makes the correct comparison.

node_cover_memory() sanity checks the SRAT table by ensuring that all
PXMs cover the memory reported in the e820.
However, when calculating the size of the holes in the e820, it uses
the early_node_map[] which contains information taken from both SRAT
and e820. If the SRAT is missing an entry, then it is not detected
that the SRAT table is incorrect and missing entries.
This patch uses the e820 map to calculate the holes instead of
early_node_map[].

Ed found that on 32-bit, boot_cpu_physical_apicid is not read right,
when the mptable is broken.
Interestingly, actually three paths use/set it:
1. acpi: at that time that is already read from reg
2. mptable: only read from mptable
3. no madt, and no mptable, that use default apic id 0 for 64-bit, -1 for 32-bit
so we could read the apic id for the 2/3 path. We trust the hardware
register more than we trust a BIOS data structure (the mptable).
We can also avoid the double set_fixmap() when acpi_lapic
is used, and also need to move cpu_has_apic earlier and
call apic_disable().
Also when need to update the apic id, we'd better read and
set the apic version as well - so that quirks are applied precisely.
v2: make path 3 with 64bit, use -1 as apic id, so could read it later.

since we are just about to zero it all anyway.
To clean up and unify the handling, we now do:
- copy from startup_32 to _bss.
- zero from _bss to _ebss.
- the _ebss symbol is aligned to an 8-byte boundary.
- the page tables are moved to a separate section.

This patch removes module_param oprofile.force_arch_perfmon and
introduces oprofile.cpu_type=archperfmon instead. This new parameter
can be reused for other models and architectures.
Currently only archperfmon is supported.

The registers are about the same as other Family 6 CPUs
so we only need to add detection.
I'm not completely happy with calling Nehalem Core i7 because
there will be undoubtedly other Nehalem based CPUs
in the future with different marketing names, but it's
the best we got for now.
Requires updated oprofile userland for the new event files.
If you don't want to update right now you can also use
oprofile.force_arch_perfmon=1 (added in the next patch) with 0.9.4

This re-adds the force_arch_perfmon option that was in the original
arch perfmon patchkit. Originally this was rejected in favour
of a generalized perfmon=name option, but it turned out implementing
the later in a reliable way is hard (and it would have been easy
to crash the kernel if a user gets it wrong)
But now Atom and Core i7 support being readded a user would
need to update their oprofile userland to beyond 0.9.4 to use oprofile again
on Atom or Core i7.
To avoid this problem readd the force_arch_perfmon option.

Tim Starling reported that crashdump will panic with kernel compiled
with CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP due to null pointer deference in
machine_kexec_32.c: machine_kexec(), when deferencing
kexec_image. Refering to:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13265
This patch fixes the BUG via replacing global variable reference:
kexec_image in machine_kexec() with local variable reference: image,
which is more appropriate, and will not be null.
Same BUG is in machine_kexec_64.c too, so fixed too in the same way.

that no unused page table entries remain if _brk_end and _end are
separated by a 2M page boundary. cleanup_highmap() runs very early and
hence cannot take care of that, hence potential entries needing to be
removed past _brk_end must be cleared once the brk allocator has done

Extend the maximum addressable memory on x86-64 from 2^44 to
2^46 bytes. This requires some shuffling around of the vmalloc
and virtual memmap memory areas, to keep them away from the
direct mapping of up to 64TB of physical memory.
This patch also introduces a guard hole between the vmalloc
area and the virtual memory map space. There's really no
good reason why we wouldn't have a guard hole there.

amd-iommu: fix iommu flag masks
x86: initialize io_bitmap_base on 32bit
x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULL
Commit 7ad728f981
(cpumask: x86: convert cpu_sibling_map/cpu_core_map to cpumask_var_t)
changed the output of /proc/cpuinfo for siblings:
Example on an AMD Phenom:
physical id : 0
siblings : 1
core id : 3
cpu cores : 4
Before that commit it was:
physical id : 0
siblings : 4
core id : 3
cpu cores : 4
Instead of cpu_core_mask it now uses cpu_sibling_mask to count siblings.
This is due to the following hunk of above commit:
| --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
| +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/proc.c
| @@ -14,7 +14,7 @@ static void show_cpuinfo_core(struct seq_file *m, struct cpuinf
| if (c->x86_max_cores * smp_num_siblings > 1) {
| seq_printf(m, "physical id\t: %d\n", c->phys_proc_id);
| seq_printf(m, "siblings\t: %d\n",
| - cpus_weight(per_cpu(cpu_core_map, cpu)));

| seq_printf(m, "cpu cores\t: %d\n", c->booted_cores);
| seq_printf(m, "apicid\t\t: %d\n", c->apicid);
This was a mistake, because the impact line shows that this side-effect
was not anticipated:

According to the gettimeofday(2) manual:
If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not
set or returned.
Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make
sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it.
This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel
command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >=
2.7). A simple reproducer:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
int main(void)
{
struct timezone tz;
gettimeofday(NULL, &tz);
return 0;
}

32 bit x86 had a dedicated .text.head output section,
whereas 64 bit had it all in a single output section.
In the unified version the dedicated .text.head output section
was kept to have full control over the head code.
32 bit:
- Moved definition of _stext to the linker script.
The definition is located _after_ .text.page_aligned as this
is what 32 bit did before.
The ALIGN(8) was introduced so we hit the exact same address
(on the tested config) before and after the move.
I assume that it is a bug that _stext did not cover the
.text.page_aligned section - if this is true it can be fixed
in a follow-up patch (and the ugly ALIGN() can be dropped).
