2010-12-13x86, suspend: Avoid unnecessary smp alternatives switch during suspend/resumeSuresh Siddha
During suspend, we disable all the non boot cpus. And during resume we bring them all back again. So no need to do alternatives_smp_switch() in between. On my core 2 based laptop, this speeds up the suspend path by 15msec and the resume path by 5 msec (suspend/resume speed up differences can be attributed to the different P-states that the cpu is in during suspend/resume).

2010-10-29x86, alternative: Call stop_machine_text_poke() on all cpusJason Baron
Currently, text_poke_smp() passes a NULL as the third argument to __stop_machine(), which will only run stop_machine_text_poke() on 1 cpu. Change NULL -> cpu_online_mask, as stop_machine_text_poke() is intended to be run on all cpus. I actually didn't notice any problems with stop_machine_text_poke() only being called on 1 cpu, but found this via code inspection.

2010-09-22jump label: Base patch for jump labelJason Baron
base patch to implement 'jump labeling'. Based on a new 'asm goto' inline assembly gcc mechanism, we can now branch to labels from an 'asm goto' statment. This allows us to create a 'no-op' fastpath, which can subsequently be patched with a jump to the slowpath code. This is useful for code which might be rarely used, but which we'd like to be able to call, if needed. Tracepoints are the current usecase that these are being implemented for. Acked-by: David S.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-02-25x86: Add support for lock prefix in alternativesLuca Barbieri
The current lock prefix UP/SMP alternative code doesn't allow LOCK_PREFIX to be used in alternatives code. This patch solves the problem by adding a new LOCK_PREFIX_ALTERNATIVE_PATCH macro that only records the lock prefix location but does not emit the prefix. The user of this macro can then start any alternative sequence with "lock" and have it UP/SMP patched. To make this work, the UP/SMP alternative code is changed to do the lock/DS prefix switching only if the byte actually contains a lock or DS prefix. Thus, if an alternative without the "lock" is selected, it will now do nothing instead of clobbering the code.

2010-02-25x86: Add text_poke_smp for SMP cross modifying codeMasami Hiramatsu
Add generic text_poke_smp for SMP which uses stop_machine() to synchronize modifying code. This stop_machine() method is officially described at "7.1.3 Handling Self- and Cross-Modifying Code" on the intel's software developer's manual 3A. Since stop_machine() can't protect code against NMI/MCE, this function can not modify those handlers. And also, this function is basically for modifying multibyte-single-instruction. For modifying multibyte-multi-instructions, we need another special trap & detour code. This code originaly comes from immediate values with stop_machine() version. Thanks Jason and Mathieu!

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those.

2009-09-10x86: Fix code patching for paravirt-alternatives on 486Ben Hutchings
As reported in <http://bugs.debian.org/511703> and <http://bugs.debian.org/515982>, kernels with paravirt-alternatives enabled crash in text_poke_early() on at least some 486-class processors. The problem is that text_poke_early() itself uses inline functions affected by paravirt-alternatives and so will modify instructions that have already been prefetched. Pentium and later processors will invalidate the prefetched instructions in this case, but 486-class processors do not. Change sync_core() to limit prefetching on 486-class (and 386-class) processors, and move the call to sync_core() above the call to the modifiable local_irq_restore().

2009-02-17x86, mce: don't disable machine checks during code patchingAndi Kleen
Impact: low priority bug fix This removes part of a a patch I added myself some time ago. After some consideration the patch was a bad idea. In particular it stopped machine check exceptions during code patching. To quote the comment: * MCEs only happen when something got corrupted and in this * case we must do something about the corruption. * Ignoring it is worse than a unlikely patching race. * Also machine checks tend to be broadcast and if one CPU * goes into machine check the others follow quickly, so we don't * expect a machine check to cause undue problems during to code * patching. So undo the machine check related parts of 8f4e956b313dcccbc7be6f10808952345e3b638c NMIs are still disabled. This only removes code, the only additions are a new comment.

2008-08-15x86: alternatives : fix LOCK_PREFIX race with preemptible kernel and CPU hotplugMathieu Desnoyers
If a kernel thread is preempted in single-cpu mode right after the NOP (nop about to be turned into a lock prefix), then we CPU hotplug a CPU, and then the thread is scheduled back again, a SMP-unsafe atomic operation will be used on shared SMP variables, leading to corruption. No corruption would happen in the reverse case : going from SMP to UP is ok because we split a bit instruction into tiny pieces, which does not present this condition. Changing the 0x90 (single-byte nop) currently used into a 0x3E DS segment override prefix should fix this issue. Since the default of the atomic instructions is to use the DS segment anyway, it should not affect the behavior. The exception to this are references that use ESP/RSP and EBP/RBP as the base register (they will use the SS segment), however, in Linux (a) DS == SS at all times, and (b) we do not distinguish between segment violations reported as #SS as opposed to #GP, so there is no need to disassemble the instruction to figure out the suitable segment. This patch assumes that the 0x3E prefix will leave atomic operations as-is (thus assuming they normally touch data in the DS segment). Since there seem to be no obvious ill-use of other segment override prefixes for atomic operations, it should be safe. It can be verified with a quick grep -r LOCK_PREFIX include/asm-x86/ grep -A 1 -r LOCK_PREFIX arch/x86/ Taken from This source : AMD64 Architecture Programmer's Manual Volume 3: General-Purpose and System Instructions States "Instructions that Reference a Non-Stack Segment—If an instruction encoding references any base register other than rBP or rSP, or if an instruction contains an immediate offset, the default segment is the data segment (DS). These instructions can use the segment-override prefix to select one of the non-default segments, as shown in Table 1-5." Therefore, forcing the DS segment on the atomic operations, which already use the DS segment, should not change. This source : http://wiki.osdev.org/X86_Instruction_Encoding States "In 64-bit the CS, SS, DS and ES segment overrides are ignored." Confirmed by "AMD 64-Bit Technology" A.7 http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/x86-64_overview.pdf "In 64-bit mode, the DS, ES, SS and CS segment-override prefixes have no effect. These four prefixes are no longer treated as segment-override prefixes in the context of multipleprefix rules. Instead, they are treated as null prefixes." This patch applies to 2.6.27-rc2, but would also have to be applied to earlier kernels (2.6.26, 2.6.25, ...). Performance impact of the fix : tests done on "xaddq" and "xaddl" shows it actually improves performances on Intel Xeon, AMD64, Pentium M. It does not change the performance on Pentium II, Pentium 3 and Pentium 4.

I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules (vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page. Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done, but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example. Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 : The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to get the pages from the pointer address. However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for modules. Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address() to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.

2008-01-30x86: optimize lock prefix switching to run less frequentlyAndi Kleen
On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and retranslate a lot of code. Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel on UP. This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow! Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline. v1->v2: Rename max_cpus v1->v2: Fix off by one in UP check (Thomas Gleixner) Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2007-10-19x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu arrayMike Travis
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.
