Kernel panic - not syncing: Boot APIC ID in local APIC unexpected (16 vs 0)
Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-rcX #2
Call Trace:
[<c05194da>] ? panic+0x38/0xd3
[<c0743102>] ? native_smp_prepare_cpus+0x259/0x31f
[<c073b19d>] ? kernel_init+0x3e/0x141
[<c073b15f>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x141
[<c020325f>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10
The reason is that default_get_apic_id handled extension of local APIC
ID field just in case of XAPIC.
Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and
bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel
panic.
This patch introduces a Linux specific feature flag to indicate
support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets
the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

Fix bug in the SGI UV macros that support systems with multiple
coherency domains. The macros used for referencing global MMR
(chipset registers) are failing to correctly "or" the NASID
(node identifier) bits that reside above M+N. These high bits
are supplied automatically by the chipset for memory accesses
coming from the processor socket.
However, the bits must be present for references to the special
global MMR space used to map chipset registers. (See uv_hub.h
for more details ...)
The bug results in references to invalid/incorrect nodes.

The UV tlb shootdown code has a serious initialization error.
An array of structures [32*8] is initialized as if it were [32].
The array is indexed by (cpu number on the blade)*8, so the short
initialization works for up to 4 cpus on a blade.
But above that, we provide an invalid opcode to the hub's
broadcast assist unit.
This patch changes the allocation of the array to use its symbolic
dimensions for better clarity. And initializes all 32*8 entries.
Shortened 'UV_ACTIVATION_DESCRIPTOR_SIZE' to 'UV_ADP_SIZE' per Ingo's
recommendation.
Tested on the UV simulator.

Recently there were some changes to the meaning of node_possible_map,
and it is quite strange:
- the node without memory would be set in node_possible_map
- but some node with less NODE_MIN_SIZE will be kicked out of node_possible_map.
fix it by adding strict_setup_node_bootmem().
Also, remove unparse_node().
so result will be:
1. cpu_to_node() will return online node only (nearest one)
2. apicid_to_node() still returns the node that could be not online but is set
in node_possible_map.
3. node_possible_map will include nodes that mem on it are less NODE_MIN_SIZE
v2: after move_cpus_to_node change.

| x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
we don't have MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE anymore.
Historically, x86-64 had an architecture-specific method for memory hotplug
whereby it scanned the SRAT for physical memory ranges that could be
potentially used for memory hot-add later. By reserving those ranges
without physical memory, the memmap would be allocated and left dormant
until needed. This depended on the DISCONTIG memory model which has been
removed so the code implementing HOTPLUG_RESERVE is now dead.
This patch removes the dead code used by MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE.
(Changelog authored by Mel.)

according to Ingo, io_apic irq-setup related functions have too many
parameters with a repetitive signature.
So reduce related funcs to get less params by passing a pointer
to a newly defined io_apic_irq_attr structure.
v2: io_apic_irq ==> irq_attr
triggering ==> trigger
v3: add set_io_apic_irq_attr

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:

| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

Handle the misconfiguration where CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is
incompatible with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN. This is a configuration
error, but one which arises easily since Kconfig doesn't have the
smarts to express the true relationship between these two variables.
Hence, align __PHYSICAL_START the same way we align LOAD_PHYSICAL_ADDR
in <asm/boot.h>.
For non-relocatable kernels, this would cause the boot to fail.

Ed found that on 32-bit, boot_cpu_physical_apicid is not read right,
when the mptable is broken.
Interestingly, actually three paths use/set it:
1. acpi: at that time that is already read from reg
2. mptable: only read from mptable
3. no madt, and no mptable, that use default apic id 0 for 64-bit, -1 for 32-bit
so we could read the apic id for the 2/3 path. We trust the hardware
register more than we trust a BIOS data structure (the mptable).
We can also avoid the double set_fixmap() when acpi_lapic
is used, and also need to move cpu_has_apic earlier and
call apic_disable().
Also when need to update the apic id, we'd better read and
set the apic version as well - so that quirks are applied precisely.
v2: make path 3 with 64bit, use -1 as apic id, so could read it later.
v3: fix whitespace problem pointed out by Ed Swierk
v5: fix boot crash

cleanup of synchronization logic
* Solve issues described in 6f66cbc63081fd70e3191b4dbb796746780e5ae1
in a way that doesn't resort to set_cpus_allowed();
* in fact, only collect_cpu_info and apply_microcode callbacks
must run on a target cpu, others will do just fine on any other.
smp_call_function_single() (as suggested by Ingo) is used to run
these callbacks on a target cpu.
* cleanup of synchronization logic of the 'microcode_core' part
The generic 'microcode_core' part guarantees that only a single cpu
(be it a full-fledged cpu, one of the cores or HT)
is being updated at any particular moment of time.
In general, there is no need for any additional sync. mechanism in
arch-specific parts (the patch removes existing spinlocks).
See also the "Synchronization" section in microcode_core.c.
* return -EINVAL instead of -1 (which is translated into -EPERM) in
microcode_write(), reload_cpu() and mc_sysdev_add(). Other suggestions
for an error code?
* use 'enum ucode_state' as return value of request_microcode_{fw, user}
to gain more flexibility by distinguishing between real error cases
and situations when an appropriate ucode was not found (which is not an
error per-se).
* some minor cleanups
Thanks a lot to Hugh Dickins for review/suggestions/testing!

A long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor.
There were vikings and boats and some plans for a Linux kernel
header. Unfortunately, a single 8-bit field was used for bootloader
type and version. This has generally worked without *too* much pain,
but we're getting close to flat running out of ID fields.
Add extension fields for both type and version. The type will be
extended if it the old field is 0xE; the version is a simple MSB
extension.
Keep /proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_type containing
(type << 4) + (ver & 0xf) for backwards compatiblity, but also add
/proc/sys/kernel/bootloader_version which contains the full version
number.

Make the kernel_alignment field adjustable; this allows us to set it
to a large value (intended to be 16 MB to avoid ZONE_DMA contention,
memory holes and other weirdness) while a smart bootloader can still
force a loading at a lesser alignment if absolutely necessary.
Also export pref_address (preferred loading address, corresponding to
the link-time address) and init_size, the total amount of linear
memory the kernel will require during initialization.

Fix to prevent sched_mc_power_saving from being exported through sysfs
for multi-scoket single core system. Max cores should be always greater than
one (1). My earlier patch that introduced fix for not exporting
'sched_mc_power_saving' on laptops broke it on multi-socket single core
system. This fix addresses issue on both laptop and multi-socket single
core system.
Below are the Test results:
1. Single socket - multi-core
Before Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
After Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
Result: Pass
2. Multi Socket - single core
Before Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'
After Patch: Does not export 'sched_mc_power_saving'
Result: Pass
3. Multi Socket - Multi core
Before Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'
After Patch: exports 'sched_mc_power_saving'
