The Intel Optimization Reference Guide says:
In Intel Atom microarchitecture, the address generation unit
assumes that the segment base will be 0 by default. Non-zero
segment base will cause load and store operations to experience
a delay.
- If the segment base isn't aligned to a cache line
boundary, the max throughput of memory operations is
reduced to one [e]very 9 cycles.
[...]
Assembly/Compiler Coding Rule 15. (H impact, ML generality)
For Intel Atom processors, use segments with base set to 0
whenever possible; avoid non-zero segment base address that is
not aligned to cache line boundary at all cost.
We can't avoid having a non-zero base for the stack-protector
segment, but we can make it cache-aligned.

This is a partial revert of f1f029c7bfbf4ee1918b90a431ab823bed812504.
"=rm" is allowed in this context, because "pop" is explicitly defined
to adjust the stack pointer *before* it evaluates its effective
address, if it has one. Thus, we do end up writing to the correct
address even if we use an on-stack memory argument.
The original reporter for f1f029c7bfbf4ee1918b90a431ab823bed812504 was
apparently using a broken x86 simulator.

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.

Some of the NOPs tables aren't used on 64-bits, quite some code and
data is needed post-init for module loading only, and a couple of
functions aren't used outside that file (i.e. can be static, and don't
need to be exported).
The change to __INITDATA/__INITRODATA is needed to avoid an assembler
warning.

Commit 0e83815be719d3391bf5ea24b7fe696c07dbd417 changed the
section the initial_code variable gets allocated in, in an
attempt to address a section conflict warning. This, however
created a new section conflict when building without
HOTPLUG_CPU. The apparently only (reasonable) way to address
this is to always use __REFDATA.
Once at it, also fix a second section mismatch when not using
HOTPLUG_CPU.

PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).
But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
4k page).
Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
range.

An older test-box started hanging at the following point during
bootup:
[ 0.022996] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
[ 0.024996] Initializing cgroup subsys debug
[ 0.025996] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuacct
[ 0.026995] Initializing cgroup subsys devices
[ 0.027995] Initializing cgroup subsys freezer
[ 0.028995] mce: CPU supports 5 MCE banks
I've bisected it down to commit 4efc0670 ("x86, mce: use 64bit
machine check code on 32bit"), which utilizes the MCE code on
32-bit systems too.
The problem is caused by this detail in my config:
# CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set
This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables
MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk
workaround needed on this CPU:
if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0)
mce_banks[0].init = 0;
The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on
what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got
disabled in the config).
Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a
boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system
that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as
well.
Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU
support is rare - but still being more defensive in something
we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold
boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog):
MCE 0
HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem!
Please contact your hardware vendor
CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status:
MCi status:
Error overflow
Uncorrected error
Error enabled
Processor context corrupt
MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error
STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0
[ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error)
and f200000000000115 (... READ Error).
To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified
the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump
content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ]
Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables
lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs
by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old
behavior).

Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based
laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default,
and hence perfcounters do not get initialized.
Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters
and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows
'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top'
and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling
method.
( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware
sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled
permanently by the hardware then this fallback still
allows more systems to use perfcounters. )
Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC.

Between GCC version 3.4.0 and 4.3.3 (including 3.4.0 and 4.3.3), -mtune=merced
is implemented in GCC. Starting from 4.4.0, -mtune=merced is deprecated.
Even implemented in versions between 3.4.0 and 4.3.3, the -mtune=merced
feature has been broken in some of the versions. For example, GCC 4.1.2 reports
interanl tuning function errors during kernel building with -mtune=merced. Or
GCC Bugzilla 16130 reports another -mtune=merced issue on GCC 3.4.1.
So I would remove the -mtune=merced from IA64 kernel build. Without this option,
kernel on Merced will remain the same except losing an unstable and out-of-date
performance tunning feature.
Since GCC version 3.4.0, -mtune=mckinley has been implemented. The
-mtune=mckinley option functions the same as mtune=itanium2. And mtune=itanium2
is the default option. So we don't need to add mtune=mckinley either since its
been the default option in any GCC version which implements this option.

x86: Fix serialization in pit_expect_msb()
|
|
Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case:
| pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case
| in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong
| CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success
| section.
I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact
that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no
serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in
the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle
counter was read without proper serialization.
The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since
_inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has
the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration.
So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one
that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the
final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized.
In other words:
- I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last
iteration, rather than in every iteration
- I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a
serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read.
Here's a suggested replacement.

On an iMac G5, the b43 driver is failing to initialise because trying to
set the dma mask to 30-bit fails. Even though there's only 512MiB of RAM
in the machine anyway:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=514787
We should probably let it succeed if the available RAM in the system
doesn't exceed the requested limit.

If we have the powerpc perf_counter backend compiled in, but
the cpu we are running on is one where we don't support the
PMU, we currently oops in hw_perf_group_sched_in if we try to
use any counters, because ppmu is NULL in that case, and we
unconditionally dereference ppmu.
This fixes the problem by adding a check if ppmu is NULL at the
beginning of hw_perf_group_sched_in, and also at the beginning
of the other functions that get called from the perf_counter
core, i.e. hw_perf_disable, hw_perf_enable, and
hw_perf_counter_setup.
