2011-02-04x86-32: Make sure the stack is set up before we use itH. Peter Anvin
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...

2011-02-03x86, mtrr: Avoid MTRR reprogramming on BP during boot on UP platformsSuresh Siddha
Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire 1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression. commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3 Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Date: Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700 x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init Because of the UP configuration of that platform, native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check()) before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init() Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual write only if they are different. BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's happens and all is well. However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of the OS boot. During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup. We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3, because only the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP had at the start of the OS boot. Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot. Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393 [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ] Reported-and-bisected-by: Markus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Tested-by: Markus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Thomas Renninger <trenn@novell.com> Cc: Rafael Wysocki <rjw@novell.com> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # [v2.6.32+] LKML-Reference: <1296694975.4418.402.camel@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-01-27perf: Fix Pentium4 raw event validationStephane Eranian
This patch fixes some issues with raw event validation on Pentium 4 (Netburst) based processors. As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two problems in the p4_validate_raw_event() function: - the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on - the binding to ESCR register was missing The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded correctly compared to generic PMU events. With this patch, I can now pass Netburst events to libpfm4 examples and get meaningful results: $ task -e global_power_events:running:u noploop 1 noploop for 1 seconds 3,206,304,898 global_power_events:running Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: peterz@infradead.org Cc: paulus@samba.org Cc: davem@davemloft.net Cc: fweisbec@gmail.com Cc: perfmon2-devel@lists.sf.net Cc: eranian@gmail.com Cc: robert.richter@amd.com Cc: acme@redhat.com Cc: gorcunov@gmail.com Cc: ming.m.lin@intel.com LKML-Reference: <4d3efb2f.1252d80a.1a80.ffffc83f@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-01-24x86-64: Don't use pointer to out-of-scope variable in dump_trace()Jesper Juhl
In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code: ... if (!stack) { unsigned long dummy; stack = &dummy; if (task && task != current) stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp; } bp = stack_frame(task, regs); /* * Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the * current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested * exceptions */ tinfo = task_thread_info(task); for (;;) { char *id; unsigned long *estack_end; estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack, &used, &id); ... You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable 'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the 'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

2011-01-21x86, hotplug: Fix powersavings with offlined cores on AMDBorislav Petkov
ea53069231f9317062910d6e772cca4ce93de8c8 made a CPU use monitor/mwait when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we select the idle routine for the machine. With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to boost again.

This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83cb ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"). Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch. The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies variables.

2011-01-18x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutilsShaohua Li
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y option is broken with new binutils, which will make boot panic. According to Lu Hongjiu, the affected binutils are from 2.20.51.0.12 to 2.21.51.0.3, which are release since Oct 22 this year. At least ubuntu 10.10 is using such binutils. See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12327 The reason of the boot panic is that we have 'jiffies = jiffies_64;' in vmlinux.lds.S. The jiffies isn't in any section. In kernel build, there is warning saying jiffies is an absolute address and can't be relocatable. At runtime, jiffies will have virtual address 0.

2011-01-14x86, mrst: Set correct APB timer IRQ affinity for secondary cpuJacob Pan
Offlining the secondary CPU causes the timer irq affinity to be set to CPU 0. When the secondary CPU is back online again, the wrong irq affinity will be used. This patch ensures secondary per CPU timer always has the correct IRQ affinity when enabled.

2011-01-14x86: tsc: Fix calibration refinement conditionals to avoid divide by zeroJohn Stultz
Konrad Wilk reported that the new delayed calibration crashes with a divide by zero on Xen. The reason is that Xen sets the pmtimer address, but reading from it returns 0xffffff. That results in the ref_start and ref_stop value being the same, so the delta is zero which causes the divide by zero later in the calculation. The conditional (!hpet && !ref_start && !ref_stop) which sanity checks the calibration reference values doesn't really make sense. If the refs are null, but hpet is on, we still want to break out. The div by zero would be possible to trigger by chance if both reads from the hardware provided the exact same value (due to hardware wrapping). So checking if both the ref values are the same should handle if we don't have hardware (both null) or if they are the same value (either by invalid hardware, or by chance), avoiding the div by zero issue.

2011-01-12cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle ↵Thomas Renninger
events from the cpuidle layer Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle" events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex. It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use the cpuidle subsystem, namely: - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait) - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess) - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before) Convention should be: Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere down the the callee tree) to keep things easy. Current possible pm_idle functions in X86: c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle -> this is really easy is now. This affects userspace: The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get mapped to: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...} instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values. This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver. For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor misses out C-states in his BIOS. Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle events from: /sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3. -> everything is fine.

2011-01-12ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variablesThomas Renninger
Having four variables for the same thing: idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides is rather confusing and unnecessary complex. if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable: boot_option_idle_overrides Introduces following functional changes/fixes: - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy boot param is passed. - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver and get active if idle=halt is passed. Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but without registering a whole cpuidle driver. That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register with one exception (same behavior as before): idle=nomwait may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep states where C1 mwait causes problems.

2011-01-12ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type supportHuang Ying
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support. Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that. Known issue: - Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe. v2: - adjust printk format per comments.

2011-01-11x86: Use PCI method for enabling AMD extended config space before MSR methodJan Beulich
While both methods should work equivalently well for the native case, the Xen Dom0 case can't reliably work with the MSR one, since there's no guarantee that the virtual CPUs it has available fully cover all necessary physical ones. As per the suggestion of Robert Richter the patch only adds the PCI method, but leaves the MSR one as a fallback to cover new systems the PCI IDs of which may not have got added to the code base yet. The only change in v2 is the breaking out of the new CPI initialization method into a separate function, as requested by Ingo.

commit a8760ec (x86: Check tsc available/disabled in the delayed init function) missed to prevent the setup of the delayed init function in case the initial tsc calibration failed. This results in the same divide by zero bug as we have seen without the tsc disabled check. Skip the delayed work setup when tsc_khz (the initial calibration value) is 0.

2011-01-10x86, lapic-timer: Increase the max_delta to 31 bitsPierre Tardy
Latest atom socs(penwell) does not have hpet timer. As their local APIC timer is clocked at 400KHZ, and the current code limit their Initial Counter register to 23 bits, they cannot sleep more than 1.34 seconds which leads to ~2 spurious wakeup per second (1 per thread) These SOCs support 32bit timer so we change the max_delta to at least 31bits. So we can at least sleep for 300 seconds. We could not find any previous chip errata where lapic would only have 23 bit precision As powertop is suggesting to activate HPET to "sleep longer", this could mean this problem is already known. Problem is here since very first implementation of lapic timer as a clock event e9e2cdb [PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers.

2011-01-09perf, x86: P4 PMU - Fix unflagged overflows handlingCyrill Gorcunov
Don found that P4 PMU reads CCCR register instead of counter itself (in attempt to catch unflagged event) this makes P4 NMI handler to consume all NMIs it observes. So the other NMI users such as kgdb simply have no chance to get NMI on their hands. Side note: at moment there is no way to run nmi-watchdog together with perf tool. This is because both 'perf top' and nmi-watchdog use same event. So while nmi-watchdog reserves one event/counter for own needs there is no room for perf tool left (there is a way to disable nmi-watchdog on boot of course). Ming has tested this patch with the following results | 1. watchdog disabled | | kgdb tests on boot OK | perf works OK | | 2. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 | | kgdb tests on boot hang | | 3. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 and do not run kgdb | tests on boot | | "perf top" partialy works | cpu-cycles no | instructions yes | cache-references no | cache-misses no | branch-instructions no | branch-misses yes | bus-cycles no | | 4. watchdog enabled, with patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 applied | | kgdb tests on boot OK | perf does not work, NMI "Dazed and confused" messages show up | Which means we still have problems with p4 box due to 'unknown' nmi happens but at least it should fix kgdb test cases.
