OLPC_OPENFIRMWARE_DT is just there to be selected by OLPC and selects
OF_PROMTREE. So let OLPC select OF_PROMTREE and remove that extra
config indirection. Fixup code and Makefile and use CONFIG_OF_PROMTREE
instead.

Neither CONFIG_OLPC_OPENFIRMWARE nor CONFIG_OLPC_OPENFIRMWARE_DT are
really necessary.
OLPC selects OLPC_OPENFIRMWARE unconditionally, so move the "select
OF" part under OLPC config option and fixup the dependencies in
Makefiles and code.

Just as we had to disable auto-demotion for NHM/WSM,
we need to do the same for Atom (Lincroft version).
In particular, auto-demotion will prevent Lincroft
from entering the S0i3 idle power saving state.

Hardware C-state auto-demotion is a mechanism where the HW overrides
the OS C-state request, instead demoting to a shallower state,
which is less expensive, but saves less power.
Modern Linux should generally get exactly the states it requests.
In particular, when a CPU is taken off-line, it must not be demoted, else
it can prevent the entire package from reaching deep C-states.

NUMA emulation needs to update node distance information. It did it
by remapping apicid to PXM mapping, even when amdtopology is being
used. There is no reason to go through such convolution. The generic
code has all the information necessary to transform the distance table
to the emulated nid space.
Implement generic distance table transformation in numa_emulation()
and drop private implementations in srat_64 and amdtopology_64. This
makes find_node_by_addr() and fake_physnodes() and related functions
unnecessary, drop them.

Node distance either used direct node comparison, ACPI PXM comparison
or ACPI SLIT table lookup. This patch implements generic node
distance handling. NUMA init methods can call numa_set_distance() to
set distance between nodes and the common __node_distance()
implementation will report the set distance.
Due to the way NUMA emulation is implemented, the generic node
distance handling is used only when emulation is not used. Later
patches will update NUMA emulation to use the generic distance
mechanism.

With all memory configuration information now carried in numa_meminfo,
there's no need to keep mem_nodes_parsed separate. Drop it and use
numa_nodes_parsed for CPU / memory-less nodes.
A new helper numa_nodemask_from_meminfo() is added to calculate
memnode mask on the fly which is currently used to set
node_possible_map.
This simplifies NUMA init methods a bit and removes a source of
possible inconsistencies.

numa_nodes[] doesn't carry any information which isn't present in
numa_meminfo. Each entry is simply min/max range of all the memblks
for the node. This is not only redundant but also inaccurate when
memblks for different nodes interleave - for example,
find_node_by_addr() can return the wrong nodeid.
Kill numa_nodes[] and always use numa_meminfo instead.
* nodes_cover_memory() is renamed to numa_meminfo_cover_memory() and
now operations on numa_meminfo and returns bool.
* setup_node_bootmem() needs min/max range. Compute the range on the
fly. setup_node_bootmem() invocation is restructured to use outer
loop instead of hardcoding the double invocations.
* find_node_by_addr() now operates on numa_meminfo.
* setup_physnodes() builds physnodes[] from memblks. This will go
away when emulation code is updated to use struct numa_meminfo.
This patch also makes the following misc changes.
* Clearing of nodes_add[] clearing is converted to memset().
* numa_add_memblk() in amd_numa_init() is moved down a bit for
consistency.

Make both amd and dummy use numa_add_memblk() to describe the detected
memory blocks. This allows initmem_init() to call
numa_register_memblk() regardless of init method in use. Drop custom
memory registration codes from amd and dummy.
After this change, memblk merge/cleanup in numa_register_memblks() is
applied to all init methods.
As this makes compute_hash_shift() and numa_register_memblks() used
only inside numa_64.c, make them static.

This patch adds support for AMD family 15h core counters. There are
major changes compared to family 10h. First, there is a new perfctr
msr range for up to 6 counters. Northbridge counters are separate
now. This patch only adds support for core counters. Second, certain
events may only be scheduled on certain counters. For this we need to
extend the event scheduling and constraints.
We use cpu feature flags to calculate family 15h msr address offsets.
This way we later can implement a faster ALTERNATIVE() version for
this.

return value
Because of the way ACPI tables are parsed, the generic
acpi_numa_init() couldn't return failure when error was detected by
arch hooks. Instead, the failure state was recorded and later arch
dependent init hook - acpi_scan_nodes() - would fail.
Wrap acpi_numa_init() with x86_acpi_numa_init() so that failure can be
indicated as return value immediately. This is in preparation for
further NUMA init cleanups.

Make the maxium TLB invalidate vectors depend on NR_CPUS linearly,
with a maximum of 32 vectors.
We currently only have 8 vectors for TLB invalidation and that is clearly
inadequate. If we have a lot of CPUs, the CPUs need share the 8 vectors and
tlbstate_lock is used to protect them. flush_tlb_page() is
heavily used in page reclaim, which will cause a lot of lock
contention for tlbstate_lock.
Andi Kleen suggested increasing the vectors number to 32, which should be
good for current typical systems to reduce the tlbstate_lock contention.
My test system has 4 sockets and 64G memory, and 64 CPUs. My
workload creates 64 processes. Each process mmap reads a big
empty sparse file. The total size of the files are 2*total_mem,
so this will cause a lot of page reclaim.
Below is the result I get from perf call-graph profiling:
without the patch:
------------------
24.25% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|
|--42.15%-- native_flush_tlb_others
with the patch:
------------------
14.96% usemem [kernel] [k] _raw_spin_lock
|
--- _raw_spin_lock
|--13.89%-- native_flush_tlb_others
So this heavily reduces the tlbstate_lock contention.

Additionally doing things conditionally upon smp_processor_id()
being zero is generally a bad idea, as this means CPU 0 cannot
be offlined and brought back online later again.
While there may be other places where this is done, I think adding
more of those should be avoided so that some day SMP can really
become "symmetrical".

L3 Cache Partitioning allows selecting which of the 4 L3 subcaches can be used
for evictions by the L2 cache of each compute unit. By writing a 4-bit
hexadecimal mask into the the sysfs file
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cache/index3/subcaches, the user can set the
enabled subcaches for a CPU.
The settings are directly read from and written to the hardware, so there is no
way to have contradicting settings for two CPUs belonging to the same compute
unit. Writing will always overwrite any previous setting for a compute unit.

Since checkin ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7 we call
verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, calling a function
means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in
the 32-bit setup code! This code initializes the stack pointer, and
simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a
pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different
values for the segment register anyway.
This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical
address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants
the other way around...

switching mm
Clearing the cpu in prev's mm_cpumask early will avoid the flush tlb
IPI's while the cr3 is still pointing to the prev mm. And this window
can lead to the possibility of bogus TLB fills resulting in strange
failures. One such problematic scenario is mentioned below.
T1. CPU-1 is context switching from mm1 to mm2 context and got a NMI
etc between the point of clearing the cpu from the mm_cpumask(mm1)
and before reloading the cr3 with the new mm2.
T2. CPU-2 is tearing down a specific vma for mm1 and will proceed with
flushing the TLB for mm1. It doesn't send the flush TLB to CPU-1
as it doesn't see that cpu listed in the mm_cpumask(mm1).
T3. After the TLB flush is complete, CPU-2 goes ahead and frees the
page-table pages associated with the removed vma mapping.
T4. CPU-2 now allocates those freed page-table pages for something
else.
T5. As the CR3 and TLB caches for mm1 is still active on CPU-1, CPU-1
can potentially speculate and walk through the page-table caches
and can insert new TLB entries. As the page-table pages are
already freed and being used on CPU-2, this page walk can
potentially insert a bogus global TLB entry depending on the
(random) contents of the page that is being used on CPU-2.
T6. This bogus TLB entry being global will be active across future CR3
changes and can result in weird memory corruption etc.
To avoid this issue, for the prev mm that is handing over the cpu to
another mm, clear the cpu from the mm_cpumask(prev) after the cr3 is
changed.
Marking it for -stable, though we haven't seen any reported failure that
can be attributed to this.

numa_cpu_node() prototype in numa_32.h has wrongly named
parameter @apicid when it actually takes the CPU number.
Change it to @cpu.
