2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Log reason why TSC was marked unstablejohn stultz
Change mark_tsc_unstable() so it takes a string argument, which holds the reason the TSC was marked unstable. This is then displayed the first time mark_tsc_unstable is called. This should help us better debug why the TSC was marked unstable on certain systems and allow us to make sure we're not being overly paranoid when throwing out this troublesome clocksource.

Enable system hashtable memory to be distributed among nodes on x86_64 NUMA Forcing the kernel to use node interleaved vmalloc instead of bootmem for the system hashtable memory (alloc_large_system_hash) reduces the memory imbalance on node 0 by around 40MB on a 8 node x86_64 NUMA box: Before the following patch, on bootup of a 8 node box: Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB Node 0 MemFree: 3206296 kB Node 0 MemUsed: 201192 kB Node 0 Active: 7012 kB Node 0 Inactive: 512 kB Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB Node 0 FilePages: 1912 kB Node 0 Mapped: 420 kB Node 0 AnonPages: 5612 kB Node 0 PageTables: 468 kB Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB Node 0 Slab: 5408 kB Node 0 SReclaimable: 644 kB Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4764 kB After the patch (or using hashdist=1 on the kernel command line): Node 0 MemTotal: 3407488 kB Node 0 MemFree: 3247608 kB Node 0 MemUsed: 159880 kB Node 0 Active: 3012 kB Node 0 Inactive: 616 kB Node 0 Dirty: 0 kB Node 0 Writeback: 0 kB Node 0 FilePages: 2424 kB Node 0 Mapped: 380 kB Node 0 AnonPages: 1200 kB Node 0 PageTables: 396 kB Node 0 NFS_Unstable: 0 kB Node 0 Bounce: 0 kB Node 0 Slab: 6304 kB Node 0 SReclaimable: 1596 kB Node 0 SUnreclaim: 4708 kB I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space?

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: build-time checkingVivek Goyal
o X86_64 kernel should run from 2MB aligned address for two reasons. - Performance. - For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference between compile time address and load time physical address. This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time kernel addresses are 2MB aligned. o Flag the error at compile time if one is trying to build a kernel which does not meet alignment restrictions.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Relocatable Kernel SupportVivek Goyal
This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run at any 2M aligned address, below 512G. The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable. For the main kernel the page tables are modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address. In addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address the kernel is loaded at. __pa_symbol is modified to add that when we take the address of a kernel symbol. When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress the kernel to 2M and it will run there. This both ensures the relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M pages for the kernel and the cpu. AK: changed to not make RELOCATABLE default in Kconfig Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separationVivek Goyal
Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map. But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two. __pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address spaces. This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as __pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve the address. There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data __pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages. Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to __pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one. A little of it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it instead of recalculating it several times. swapper_pgd is now NULL. leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time) to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd. The physical address changed. Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization. So this should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated kernel. As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout for anything I missed. But it works for me (tm). Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: do not use virt_to_page on kernel data addressVivek Goyal

Swsusp code uses it on kernel data (statically allocated swsusp_header). o Allocate swsusp_header dynamically so that virt_to_page() can be used safely. o I am changing this because in next few patches, __pa() on x86_64 will no longer support kernel text and data addresses and hibernation breaks.

So that architectures which don't have kernel text/data mapped into kernel linearly mapped region can come up with their own ways of determining physical addresses associated with a kernel text.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possibleVivek Goyal
With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages, once we start executing C code. So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code. The functions are subtly different thus the name change. This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible, and is now no longer needed.

o Moved wakeup_level4_pgt into the wakeup routine so we can run the kernel above 4G. o Now we first go to 64bit mode and continue to run from trampoline and then then start accessing kernel symbols and restore processor context. This enables us to resume even in relocatable kernel context when kernel might not be loaded at physical addr it has been compiled for. o Removed the need for modifying any existing kernel page table. o Increased the size of the wakeup routine to 8K. This is required as wake page tables are on trampoline itself and they got to be at 4K boundary, hence one page is not sufficient. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Makes code more readable. - After enabling long mode, directly take a long jump for 64bit mode. No need to take an extra jump to "reach_comaptibility_mode" - Stack is not used after real mode. So don't load stack in 32 bit mode. - No need to enable PGE here. - No need to do extra EFER read, anyway we trash the read contents. - No need to enable system call (EFER_SCE).

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Kill temp boot pmdsVivek Goyal
Early in the boot process we need the ability to set up temporary mappings, before our normal mechanisms are initialized. Currently this is used to map pages that are part of the page tables we are building and pages during the dmi scan. The core problem is that we are using the user portion of the page tables to implement this. Which means that while this mechanism is active we cannot catch NULL pointer dereferences and we deviate from the normal ways of handling things. In this patch I modify early_ioremap to map pages into the kernel portion of address space, roughly where we will later put modules, and I make the discovery of which addresses we can use dynamic which removes all kinds of static limits and remove the dependencies on implementation details between different parts of the code. Now alloc_low_page() and unmap_low_page() use early_iomap() and early_iounmap() to allocate/map and unmap a page. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This patch makes pgtable.h and page.h safe to include in assembly files like head.S. Allowing us to use symbolic constants instead of hard coded numbers when refering to the page tables. This patch copies asm-sparc64/const.h to asm-x86_64 to get a definition of _AC() a very convinient macro that allows us to force the type when we are compiling the code in C and to drop all of the type information when we are using the constant in assembly. Previously this was done with multiple definition of the same constant. const.h was modified slightly so that it works when given CONFIG options as arguments. This patch adds #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ ... #endif and _AC(1,UL) where appropriate so the assembler won't choke on the header files. Otherwise nothing should have changed.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: Fix usage of -mtune when X86_GENERIC=y or CONFIG_MCORE2=yLasse Collin
Hi! I sent this simple patch to lkml about two weeks ago and also cc'ed to Linus, but seems that the patch got ignored. I decided to write to you, because you have modified the relevant file most recently. Below is a copy of the mail that is also available at <http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/28/230>.

2007-05-02[PATCH] i386: clean up mach_reboot_fixupsJeremy Fitzhardinge
The reboot_fixups stuff seems to be a bit of a mess, specifically the header is in linux/ when its a purely i386-specific piece of code. I'm not sure why it has its config option; its only currently needed for "geode-gx1/cs5530a", so perhaps whatever config option controls that hardware should enable this?

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Drop cc-options call for all options supported in gcc 3.2+Andi Kleen
The kernel only supports gcc 3.2+ now so it doesn't make sense anymore to explicitely check for options this compiler version already has. This actually fixes a bug. The -mprefered-stack-boundary check never worked because gcc rightly complains CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s cc1: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12 We just never saw the error because of cc-options. I changed it to 4 to actually work. Tested by compiling i386 and x86-64 defconfig with gcc 3.2. Should speed up the build time a tiny bit and improve stack usage on i386 slightly.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: x86_64 make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon (take 2)Stephane Eranian
Hello, This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the IA32 SDM Vol 3b). This versions has 3 chunks compared to previous where we had missed on check. Changelog: - make the x86-64 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo). This allows PEBS to work when the NMI watchdog is active. signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

a userspace fault or a kernelspace fault which will result in the immediate death of the process. They should not be filled in as a result of a kernelspace fault which can be fixed up. Otherwise, if the process is handling SIGSEGV and examining the fault information, this can result in the kernel space fault trashing the previously stored fault information if it arrives between the userspace fault happening and the SIGSEGV being delivered to the process.
