2010-10-20x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodesShaohua Li
Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation: sender = smp_processor_id() % 8 This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has below advantages: a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes. b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity to specific node. In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload, we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

2010-10-20arm: remove machine_desc.io_pg_offst and .phys_ioNicolas Pitre
Since we're now using addruart to establish the debug mapping, we can remove the io_pg_offst and phys_io members of struct machine_desc. The various declarations were removed using the following script: grep -rl MACHINE_START arch/arm | xargs \ sed -i '/MACHINE_START/,/MACHINE_END/ { /\.\(phys_io\|io_pg_offst\)/d }' [ Initial patch was from Jeremy Kerr, example script from Russell King ] Signed-off-by: Nicolas Pitre <nicolas.pitre@linaro.org> Acked-by: Eric Miao <eric.miao at canonical.com>
2010-10-20arm: use addruart macro to establish debug mappingsJeremy Kerr
Since we can get both physical and virtual addresses from the addruart macro, we can use this to establish the debug mappings. In the case of CONFIG_DEBUG_ICEDCC, we don't need any mappings, but may still need to setup r7 correctly. Incorporating ASM changes from Nicolas Pitre <npitre@fluxnic.net>.

2010-10-20arm: return both physical and virtual addresses from addruartJeremy Kerr
Rather than checking the MMU status in every instance of addruart, do it once in kernel/debug.S, and change the existing addruart macros to return both physical and virtual addresses. The main debug code can then select the appropriate address to use. This will also allow us to retreive the address of a uart for the MMU state that we're not current in.

2010-10-20ARM: make struct machine_desc definition coherent with its commentNicolas Pitre

2010-10-20apic, x86: Use BIOS settings for IBS and MCE threshold interrupt LVT offsetsRobert Richter
We want the BIOS to setup the EILVT APIC registers. The offsets were hardcoded and BIOS settings were overwritten by the OS. Now, the subsystems for MCE threshold and IBS determine the LVT offset from the registers the BIOS has setup. If the BIOS setup is buggy on a family 10h system, a workaround enables IBS. If the OS determines an invalid register setup, a "[Firmware Bug]: " error message is reported. We need this change also for upcomming cpu families.

2010-10-20apic, x86: Check if EILVT APIC registers are available (AMD only)Robert Richter
This patch implements checks for the availability of LVT entries (APIC500-530) and reserves it if used. The check becomes necessary since we want to let the BIOS provide the LVT offsets. The offsets should be determined by the subsystems using it like those for MCE threshold or IBS. On K8 only offset 0 (APIC500) and MCE interrupts are supported. Beginning with family 10h at least 4 offsets are available. Since offsets must be consistent for all cores, we keep track of the LVT offsets in software and reserve the offset for the same vector also to be used on other cores. An offset is freed by setting the entry to APIC_EILVT_MASKED. If the BIOS is right, there should be no conflicts. Otherwise a "[Firmware Bug]: ..." error message is generated. However, if software does not properly determines the offsets, it is not necessarily a BIOS bug.

2010-10-19x86, mm: Hold mm->page_table_lock while doing vmalloc_syncJeremy Fitzhardinge
Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region. This prevents a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the page_table_lock is already held. If this race occurs, then Xen can see an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel. vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users. The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't be otherwise used for pgds.

2010-10-19MIPS: Repair Kbuild make clean breakage.David Daney
When running make clean, Kbuild doesn't process the .config file, so nothing generates a platform-y variable. We can get it to descend into the platform directories by setting $(obj-). The dec Platform file was unconditionally setting platform-, obliterating its previous contents and preventing some directories from being cleaned.
