Setting monarch_cpu = -1 to let slaves frozen might not work, because
there might be slaves being late, not entered the rendezvous yet.
Such slaves might be caught in while (monarch_cpu == -1) loop.
Use kdump_in_progress instead of monarch_cpus to break INIT rendezvous
and let all slaves enter DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE smoothly.
And monarch no longer need to manage rendezvous if once kdump_in_progress
is set, catch the monarch in DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER then.

kdump_on_init
CPUs should be frozen if possible, otherwise it might hinder kdump.
So if there are CPUs not respond to IPI, try INIT to stop them.

Summary:
Asserting INIT might block kdump if the system is already going to
start kdump via panic.
Description:
INIT can interrupt anywhere in panic path, so it can interrupt in
middle of kdump kicked by panic. Therefore there is a race if kdump
is kicked concurrently, via Panic and via INIT.
INIT could fail to invoke kdump if the system is already going to
start kdump via panic. It could not restart kdump from INIT handler
if some of cpus are already playing dead with INIT masked. It also
means that INIT could block kdump's progress if no monarch is entered
in the INIT rendezvous.
Panic+INIT is a rare, but possible situation since it can be assumed
that the kernel or an internal agent decides to panic the unstable
system while another external agent decides to send an INIT to the
system at same time.
How to reproduce:
Assert INIT just after panic, before all other cpus have frozen
Expected results:
continue kdump invoked by panic, or restart kdump from INIT
Actual results:
might be hang, crashdump not retrieved
Proposed Fix:
This patch masks INIT first in panic path to take the initiative on
kdump, and reuse atomic value kdump_in_progress to make sure there is
only one initiator of kdump. All INITs asserted later should be used
only for freezing all other cpus.
This mask will be removed soon by rfi in relocate_kernel.S, before jump
into kdump kernel, after all cpus are frozen and no-op INIT handler is
registered. So if INIT was in the interval while it is masked, it will
pend on the system and will received just after the rfi, and handled by
the no-op handler.
If there was a MCA event while psr.mc is 1, in theory the event will
pend on the system and will received just after the rfi same as above.
MCA handler is unregistered here at the time, so received MCA will not
reach to OS_MCA and will result in warmboot by SAL.
Note that codes in this masked interval are relatively simpler than
that in MCA/INIT handler which also executed with the mask. So it can
be said that probability of error in this interval is supposed not so
higher than that in MCA/INIT handler.

Summary:
Asserting INIT on cpu going to be offline will result in unexpected
behavior. It will be a real problem in kdump cases where INIT might
be asserted to unstable APs going to be offline by returning to SAL.
Description:
Since psr.mc is cleared when bits in psr are set to SAL_PSR_BITS_TO_SET
in ia64_jump_to_sal(), there is a small window (~few msecs) that the
cpu can receive INIT even if the cpu enter there via INIT handler.
In this window we do restore of registers for SAL, so INIT asserted
here will not work properly.
It is hard to remove this window by masking INIT (i.e. setting psr.mc)
because we have to unmask it later in OS, because we have to use branch
instruction (br.ret, not rfi) to return SAL, due to OS_BOOT_RENDEZ to
SAL return convention.
I suppose this window will not be a real problem on cpu offline if we
can educate people not to push INIT button during hotplug operation.
However, only exception is a race in kdump and INIT. Now kdump returns
APs to SAL before processing dump, but the kernel might receive INIT at
that point in time. Such INIT might be asserted by kdump itself if an
AP doesn't react IPI soon and kdump decided to use INIT to stop the AP.
Or it might be asserted by operator or an external agent to start dump
on the unstable system.
Such panic+INIT or INIT+INIT cases should be rare, but it will be happy
if we can retrieve crashdump even in such cases.
How to reproduce:
panic+INIT or INIT+INIT, with kdump configured
Expected results:
crashdump is retrieved anyway
Actual results:
panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix
To avoid the window on the way to SAL, this patch stops returning APs
to SAL in case of kdump. In other words, this patch makes APs spin
in OS instead of spinning in SAL.
(* Note: What impact would be there? If a cpu is spinning in SAL,
the cpu is in BOOT_RENDEZ loop, as same as offlined cpu.
In theory if an INIT is asserted there, cpus in the BOOT_RENDEZ loop
should not invoke OS_INIT on it. So in either way, no matter where
the cpu is spinning actually in, once cpu starts spin and act as
"frozen," INIT on the cpu have no effects.
From another point of view, all debug information on the cpu should
have stored to memory before the cpu start to be frozen. So no more
action on the cpu is required.)
I confirmed that the kdump sometime hangs by concurrent INITs (another
INIT after an INIT), and it doesn't hang after applying this patch.

Summary:
MCA on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result in unexpected
behavior because MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the
kdump kernel.
Description:
Once a cpu is passed to new kernel, all resources in previous kernel
should not be used from the cpu. Even the resources for MCA handler
are no exception. So we cannot handle MCAs and its machine check
errors during kernel transition, until new handler for new kernel is
registered with new resources ready for handling the MCA.
How to reproduce:
Assert MCA while kdump kernel is booting, before new MCA handler for
kdump kernel is registered.
Expected(Desirable) results:
No recovery, cancel kdump and reboot the system.
Actual results:
MCA handler for previous kernel is invoked on the kdump kernel.
=> panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix:
To avoid entering MCA handler from early stage of new kernel,
unregister the entry point from SAL before leave from current
kernel. Then SAL will make all MCAs to warmboot safely, without
invoking OS_MCA.

kdump/kexec kernel
Summary:
Asserting INIT on the beginning of kdump/kexec kernel will result
in unexpected behavior because INIT handler for previous kernel is
invoked on new kernel.
Description:
In panic situation, we can receive INIT while kernel transition,
i.e. from beginning of panic to bootstrap of kdump kernel.
Since we initialize registers on leave from current kernel, no
longer monarch/slave handlers of current kernel in virtual mode are
called safely. (In fact system goes hang as far as I confirmed)
How to Reproduce:
Start kdump
# echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT while kdump kernel is booting, before new INIT
handler for kdump kernel is registered.
Expected(Desirable) result:
kdump kernel boots without any problem, crashdump retrieved
Actual result:
INIT handler for previous kernel is invoked on kdump kernel
=> panic, hang etc. (unexpected)
Proposed fix:
We can unregister these init handlers from SAL before jumping into
new kernel, however then the INIT will fallback to default behavior,
result in warmboot by SAL (according to the SAL specification) and
we cannot retrieve the crashdump.
Therefore this patch introduces a NOP init handler and register it
to SAL before leave from current kernel, to start kdump safely by
preventing INITs from entering virtual mode and resulting in warmboot.
On the other hand, in case of kexec that not for kdump, it also
has same problem with INIT while kernel transition.
This patch handles this case differently, because for kexec
unregistering handlers will be preferred than registering NOP
handler, since the situation "no handlers registered" is usual
state for kernel's entry.

Summary:
INIT asserted on kdump kernel invokes INIT handler not only on a
cpu that running on the kdump kernel, but also BSP of the panicked
kernel, because the (badly) frozen BSP can be thawed by INIT.
Description:
The kdump_cpu_freeze() is called on cpus except one that initiates
panic and/or kdump, to stop/offline the cpu (on ia64, it means we
pass control of cpus to SAL, or put them in spinloop). Note that
CPU0(BSP) always go to spinloop, so if panic was happened on an AP,
there are at least 2cpus (= the AP and BSP) which not back to SAL.
On the spinning cpus, interrupts are disabled (rsm psr.i), but INIT
is still interruptible because psr.mc for mask them is not set unless
kdump_cpu_freeze() is not called from MCA/INIT context.
Therefore, assume that a panic was happened on an AP, kdump was
invoked, new INIT handlers for kdump kernel was registered and then
an INIT is asserted. From the viewpoint of SAL, there are 2 online
cpus, so INIT will be delivered to both of them. It likely means
that not only the AP (= a cpu executing kdump) enters INIT handler
which is newly registered, but also BSP (= another cpu spinning in
panicked kernel) enters the same INIT handler. Of course setting of
registers in BSP are still old (for panicked kernel), so what happen
with running handler with wrong setting will be extremely unexpected.
I believe this is not desirable behavior.
How to Reproduce:
Start kdump on one of APs (e.g. cpu1)
# taskset 0x2 echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger
Then assert INIT after kdump kernel is booted, after new INIT handler
for kdump kernel is registered.
Expected results:
An INIT handler is invoked only on the AP.
Actual results:
An INIT handler is invoked on the AP and BSP.
Sample of results:
I got following console log by asserting INIT after prompt "root:/>".
It seems that two monarchs appeared by one INIT, and one panicked at
last. And it also seems that the panicked one supposed there were
4 online cpus and no one did rendezvous:
:
[ 0 %]dropping to initramfs shell
exiting this shell will reboot your system
root:/> Entered OS INIT handler. PSP=fff301a0 cpu=0 monarch=0
ia64_init_handler: Promoting cpu 0 to monarch.
Delaying for 5 seconds...
All OS INIT slaves have reached rendezvous
Processes interrupted by INIT - 0 (cpu 0 task 0xa000000100af0000)
:
<<snip>>
:
Entered OS INIT handler. PSP=fff301a0 cpu=0 monarch=1
Delaying for 5 seconds...
mlogbuf_finish: printing switched to urgent mode, MCA/INIT might be dodgy or fail.
OS INIT slave did not rendezvous on cpu 1 2 3
INIT swapper 0[0]: bugcheck! 0 [1]
:
<<snip>>
:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task!
Proposed fix:
To avoid this problem, this patch inserts ia64_set_psr_mc() to mask
INIT on cpus going to be frozen. This masking have no effect if the
kdump_cpu_freeze() is called from INIT handler when kdump_on_init == 1,
because psr.mc is already turned on to 1 before entering OS_INIT.
I confirmed that weird log like above are disappeared after applying
this patch.

Functions invoked early when booting up a cpu can't use
tracing because mcount requires a valid 'current_thread_info()'
and TLB mappings to be setup.
The code path of sun4v_register_mondo_queues --> register_one_mondo
is one such case. sun4v_register_mondo_queues already has the
necessary 'notrace' annotation, but register_one_mondo does not.
Normally register_one_mondo is inlined so the bug doesn't trigger,
but with some config/compiler combinations, it won't be so we
must properly mark it notrace.
While we're here, add 'notrace' annoations to prom_printf and
prom_halt so that early error handling won't have the same problem.

This is a compromise and a temporary workaround for bootup NMI
watchdog triggers some people see with qla2xxx devices present.
This happens when, for example:
CPU 0 is in the driver init and looping submitting mailbox commands to
load the firmware, then waiting for completion.
CPU 1 is receiving the device interrupts. CPU 1 is where the NMI
watchdog triggers.
CPU 0 is submitting mailbox commands fast enough that by the time CPU
1 returns from the device interrupt handler, a new one is pending.
This sequence runs for more than 5 seconds.
The problematic case is CPU 1's timer interrupt running when the
barrage of device interrupts begin. Then we have:
timer interrupt
return for softirq checking
pending, thus enable interrupts
qla2xxx interrupt
return
qla2xxx interrupt
return
... 5+ seconds pass
final qla2xxx interrupt for fw load
return
run timer softirq
return
At some point in the multi-second qla2xxx interrupt storm we trigger
the NMI watchdog on CPU 1 from the NMI interrupt handler.
The timer softirq, once we get back to running it, is smart enough to
run the timer work enough times to make up for the missed timer
interrupts.
However, the NMI watchdogs (both x86 and sparc) use the timer
interrupt count to notice the cpu is wedged. But in the above
scenerio we'll receive only one such timer interrupt even if we last
all the way back to running the timer softirq.
The default watchdog trigger point is only 5 seconds, which is pretty
low (the softwatchdog triggers at 60 seconds). So increase it to 30
seconds for now.

The problem is that on vSMP systems the CPUID derived
initial-APICIDs are overlapping - so we need to fall
back on hard_smp_processor_id() which reads the local
APIC.
Both come from the hardware (influenced by firmware
though) so it's a tough call which one to trust.
Doing the quirk expresses the vSMP property properly
and also does not affect other systems, so we go for
this solution instead of a revert.

When page alloc debugging is not enabled, we essentially accept any
virtual address for linear kernel TLB misses. But with kgdb, kernel
address probing, and other facilities we can try to access arbitrary
crap.
So, make sure the address we miss on will translate to physical memory
that actually exists.
In order to make this work we have to embed the valid address bitmap
into the kernel image. And in order to make that less expensive we
make an adjustment, in that the max physical memory address is
decreased to "1 << 41", even on the chips that support a 42-bit
physical address space. We can do this because bit 41 indicates
"I/O space" and thus covers non-memory ranges.
The result of this is that:
1) kpte_linear_bitmap shrinks from 2K to 1K in size
2) we need 64K more for the valid address bitmap
We can't let the valid address bitmap be dynamically allocated
once we start using it to validate TLB misses, otherwise we have
crazy issues to deal with wrt. recursive TLB misses and such.
If we're in a TLB miss it could be the deepest trap level that's legal
inside of the cpu. So if we TLB miss referencing the bitmap, the cpu
will be out of trap levels and enter RED state.
To guard against out-of-range accesses to the bitmap, we have to check
to make sure no bits in the physical address above bit 40 are set. We
could export and use last_valid_pfn for this check, but that's just an
unnecessary extra memory reference.
On the plus side of all this, since we load all of these translations
into the special 4MB mapping TSB, and we check the TSB first for TLB
misses, there should be absolutely no real cost for these new checks
in the TLB miss path.

binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible
situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but
that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and
perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment.
However, the current ordering of sections really just appears
to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering
things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following
the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need
for the bogus data.init2 segment.
Once touching this code, also use the various data section
helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h.

This line looks suspicious, because if this is true, then the
'flags' parameter of function reserve_bootmem_generic() will be
unused when !CONFIG_NUMA. I don't think this is what we want.

setup_arch() unconditionally sets the preferred console to ttyS.
This breaks the use of 3270 devices as the console. Provide a new
function to set the default preferred console for s390. The preferred
console depends on the conmode parameter that is used to switch
between 3270 and 3215 terminal/console mode.

As noted in 83d349f35e1ae72268c5104dbf9ab2ae635425d4 ("x86: don't send
an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy
with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that
case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying
reason for why those empty mask cases happened.
This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the
current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be
sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is
empty.
The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just
the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f9620 ("x86: change
flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that,
the cpumask was no longer thread-local.
Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of
'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush
routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing
it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush
routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that
could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other
CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.
See
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933
for details.

The default_send_IPI_mask_logical() function uses the "flat" APIC mode
to send an IPI to a set of CPU's at once, but if that set happens to be
empty, some older local APIC's will apparently be rather unhappy. So
just warn if a caller gives us an empty mask, and ignore it.
This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.x, due to commit 4595f9620 ("x86:
change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), documented
here:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933
which causes a silent lock-up. It only seems to happen on PPro, P2, P3
and Athlon XP cores. Most developers sadly (or not so sadly, if you're
a developer..) have more modern CPU's. Also, on x86-64 we don't use the
flat APIC mode, so it would never trigger there even if the APIC didn't
like sending an empty IPI mask.

The absence of vmlinux.lds here keeps .vmlinux.lds.cmd from being
included, which in turn leads to it and all its dependents always
getting rebuilt independent of whether they are already up-to-date.

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at
some places and interrupts disabled at some other places.
This results in a deadlock in this scenario.
cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled
cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled
cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus.
This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting
for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not
reaching the rendezvous point.
Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with
interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock.
Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so
that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier
chain.
This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous
logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add
a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks
which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

Normally, srmmu uses different trap table register values to allow
determination of the cpu we're on. All of the trap tables have
identical content, they just sit at different offsets from the first
trap table, and the offset shifted down and masked out determines
the cpu we are on.
The code tries to free them up when they aren't actually used
(don't have all 4 cpus, we're on sun4d, etc.) but that causes
problems.
For one thing it triggers false positives in the DMA debugging
code. And fixing that up while preserving this relative offset
thing isn't trivial.
So just kill the freeing code, it costs us at most 3 pages, big
deal...
