2008-01-30x86: move X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC into early cpu feature detectionAndi Kleen
Need this in the next patch in time_init and that happens early. This includes a minor fix on i386 where early_intel_workarounds() [which is now called early_init_intel] really executes early as the comments say.

2008-01-30x86: Implement support to synchronize RDTSC with LFENCE on Intel CPUsAndi Kleen
According to Intel RDTSC can be always synchronized with LFENCE on all current CPUs. Implement the necessary CPUID bit for that. It is unclear yet if that is true for all future CPUs too, but if there's another way the kernel can be always updated.

2008-01-30x86: code clarification patch to Kprobes arch codeQuentin Barnes
When developing the Kprobes arch code for ARM, I ran across some code found in x86 and s390 Kprobes arch code which I didn't consider as good as it could be. Once I figured out what the code was doing, I changed the code for ARM Kprobes to work the way I felt was more appropriate. I've tested the code this way in ARM for about a year and would like to push the same change to the other affected architectures. The code in question is in kprobe_exceptions_notify() which does: ==== /* kprobe_running() needs smp_processor_id() */ preempt_disable(); if (kprobe_running() && kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr)) ret = NOTIFY_STOP; preempt_enable(); ==== For the moment, ignore the code having the preempt_disable()/ preempt_enable() pair in it. The problem is that kprobe_running() needs to call smp_processor_id() which will assert if preemption is enabled. That sanity check by smp_processor_id() makes perfect sense since calling it with preemption enabled would return an unreliable result. But the function kprobe_exceptions_notify() can be called from a context where preemption could be enabled. If that happens, the assertion in smp_processor_id() happens and we're dead. So what the original author did (speculation on my part!) is put in the preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() pair to simply defeat the check. Once I figured out what was going on, I considered this an inappropriate approach. If kprobe_exceptions_notify() is called from a preemptible context, we can't be in a kprobe processing context at that time anyways since kprobes requires preemption to already be disabled, so just check for preemption enabled, and if so, blow out before ever calling kprobe_running(). I wrote the ARM kprobe code like this: ==== /* To be potentially processing a kprobe fault and to * trust the result from kprobe_running(), we have * be non-preemptible. */ if (!preemptible() && kprobe_running() && kprobe_fault_handler(args->regs, args->trapnr)) ret = NOTIFY_STOP; ==== The above code has been working fine for ARM Kprobes for a year. So I changed the x86 code (2.6.24-rc6) to be the same way and ran the Systemtap tests on that kernel. As on ARM, Systemtap on x86 comes up with the same test results either way, so it's a neutral external functional change (as expected). This issue has been discussed previously on linux-arm-kernel and the Systemtap mailing lists.

2008-01-30x86: voluntary leave_mm before entering ACPI C3Venki Pallipadi
Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm() before entering C3. The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in C3 anyways. On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups. There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

This defines task_user_regset_view and the tables describing the x86 user_regset layouts for 32 and 64. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: x86 user_regset general regsRoland McGrath
This adds accessor functions in the user_regset style for the general registers (struct user_regs_struct). Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-01-30x86: x86 TLS desc_struct cleanupRoland McGrath
This cleans up the TLS code to use struct desc_struct and to separate the encoding and installation magic from the interface wrappers. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: x86 i387 cleanupRoland McGrath
This removes all the old code that is no longer used after the i387 unification and cleanup. The i387_64.h is renamed to i387.h with no changes, but since it replaces the nonempty one-line stub i387.h it looks like a big diff and not a rename.

2008-01-30x86: x86 i387 user_regsetRoland McGrath
This revamps the i387 code to be shared across 32-bit, 64-bit, and 32-on-64. It does so by consolidating the code in one place based on the user_regset accessor interfaces. This switches 32-bit to using the i387_64.h header and 64-bit to using the i387.c that was previously i387_32.c, but that's what took the least cleanup in each file. Here i387.h is stubbed to always include i387_64.h rather than renaming the file, to keep this diff smaller and easier to read.

2008-01-30x86: i387 renamingRoland McGrath
This renames arch/x86/kernel/{i387_32.c => i387.c}. This is a pure renaming, but paves the way for merging the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of this code. Signed-off-by: Roland McGrath <roland@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: x86 i387 header cleanupRoland McGrath
This moves some code into asm-x86/i387_64.h in preparation for unifying this code between 32 and 64. The 32-bit versions of some things are copied in some existing names changed to match 32-bit names and share code. For 64, save_i387 is moved into an inline from i387_64.c; this matches restore_i387, which is already an inline, and makes sense since there is exactly one caller (in signal_64.c). The save_i387 function could use more cosmetic cleanup, but it is just moved verbatim in this patch.
