VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to
malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this,
VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must
happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen
after parsing early boot parameters.
This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware.

Devices like b44 ethernet can't dma from addresses above 1GB. The driver
handles this cases by falling back to GFP_DMA allocation. But for detecting
the problem it needs to get an indication from dma_mapping_error.

Impact: fix boot crash on AMD IOMMU if CONFIG_GART_IOMMU is off
Currently these macros evaluate to a no-op except the kernel is compiled
with GART or Calgary support. But we also need these macros when we have
SWIOTLB, VT-d or AMD IOMMU in the kernel. Since we always compile at
least with SWIOTLB we can define these macros always.
This patch is also for stable backport for the same reason the SWIOTLB
default selection patch is.

Impact: generalize the DS code to shared buffers
Change the in-kernel ds.h interface to identify the tracer via a
handle returned on ds_request_~().
Tracers used to be identified via their task_struct.
The changes are required to allow DS to be shared between different
tasks, which is needed for perfmon2 and for ftrace.
For ptrace, the handle is stored in the traced task's task_struct.
This should probably go into a (arch-specific) ptrace context some
time.

allocate it dynamically
Impact: use deeper function tracing depth safely
Some tests showed that function return tracing needed a more deeper depth
of function calls. But it could be unsafe to store these return addresses
to the stack.
So these arrays will now be allocated dynamically into task_struct of current
only when the tracer is activated.
Typical scheme when tracer is activated:
- allocate a return stack for each task in global list.
- fork: allocate the return stack for the newly created task
- exit: free return stack of current
- idle init: same as fork
I chose a default depth of 50. I don't have overruns anymore.

Introduce a new accept4() system call. The addition of this system call
matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
argument that can be used to access additional functionality.
The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented.
(Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)
SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful
security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here:
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
Ulrich Drepper).
The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
(This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.
Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but
I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.
It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
description returned by accept4().
I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
and it passes according to my test program.

Impact: help to find the better depth of trace
We decided to arbitrary define the depth of function return trace as
"20". Perhaps this is not enough. To help finding an optimal depth, we
measure now the overrun: the number of functions that have been missed
for the current thread. By default this is not displayed, we have to
do set a particular flag on the return tracer: echo overrun >
/debug/tracing/trace_options And the overrun will be printed on the
right.
As the trace shows below, the current 20 depth is not enough.

Impact: allow archs more flexibility on dynamic ftrace implementations
Dynamic ftrace has largly been developed on x86. Since x86 does not
have the same limitations as other architectures, the ftrace interaction
between the generic code and the architecture specific code was not
flexible enough to handle some of the issues that other architectures
have.
Most notably, module trampolines. Due to the limited branch distance
that archs make in calling kernel core code from modules, the module
load code must create a trampoline to jump to what will make the
larger jump into core kernel code.
The problem arises when this happens to a call to mcount. Ftrace checks
all code before modifying it and makes sure the current code is what
it expects. Right now, there is not enough information to handle modifying
module trampolines.
This patch changes the API between generic dynamic ftrace code and
the arch dependent code. There is now two functions for modifying code:
ftrace_make_nop(mod, rec, addr) - convert the code at rec->ip into
a nop, where the original text is calling addr. (mod is the
module struct if called by module init)
ftrace_make_caller(rec, addr) - convert the code rec->ip that should
be a nop into a caller to addr.
The record "rec" now has a new field called "arch" where the architecture
can add any special attributes to each call site record.

wrongly hoovered up and submitted about a month after a better fix had

The better fix is commit cbda1ba898647aeb4ee770b803c922f595e97731
("PCI/iommu: blacklist DMAR on Intel G31/G33 chipsets"), where we do
this blacklisting based on the DMI identification for the offending
motherboard, since sometimes this chipset (or at least a chipset with
the same PCI ID) apparently _does_ actually have an IOMMU.

Impact: fix crash during hibernation on 32-bit NUMA
The NUMA code on x86_32 creates special memory mapping that allows
each node's pgdat to be located in this node's memory. For this
purpose it allocates a memory area at the end of each node's memory
and maps this area so that it is accessible with virtual addresses
belonging to low memory. As a result, if there is high memory,
these NUMA-allocated areas are physically located in high memory,
although they are mapped to low memory addresses.
Our hibernation code does not take that into account and for this
reason hibernation fails on all x86_32 systems with CONFIG_NUMA=y and
with high memory present. Fix this by adding a special mapping for
the NUMA-allocated memory areas to the temporary page tables created
during the last phase of resume.

This removes the acpi_irq_balance_set() interface from the PCI
interrupt link driver.
x86 used acpi_irq_balance_set() to tell the PCI interrupt link
driver to configure links to minimize IRQ sharing. But the link
driver can easily figure out whether to turn on IRQ balancing
based on the IRQ model (PIC/IOAPIC/etc), so we can get rid of
that external interface.
It's better for the driver to figure this out at init-time. If
we set it externally via the x86 code, the interface reduces
modularity, and we depend on the fact that acpi_process_madt()
happens before we process the kernel command line.

Impact: add infrastructure for function-return tracing
Add low level support for ftrace return tracing.
This plug-in stores return addresses on the thread_info structure of
the current task.
The index of the current return address is initialized when the task
is the first one (init) and when a process forks (the child). It is
not needed when a task does a sys_execve because after this syscall,
it still needs to return on the kernel functions it called.
Note that the code of return_to_handler has been suggested by Steven
Rostedt as almost all of the ideas of improvements in this V3.
For purpose of security, arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c is not traced
because __switch_to() changes the current task during its execution.
That could cause inconsistency in the stored return address of this
function even if I didn't have any crash after testing with tracing on
this function enabled.

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:
659567 system_call 41222.9375
686796 schedule 435.7843
718382 __switch_to 665.1685

1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412
9761990 total 2.8468
this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.
But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().
This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.

Revert "x86: default to reboot via ACPI"
x86: align DirectMap in /proc/meminfo
AMD IOMMU: fix lazy IO/TLB flushing in unmap path
x86: add smp_mb() before sending INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR
x86: remove VISWS and PARAVIRT around NR_IRQS puzzle
x86: mention ACPI in top-level Kconfig menu
x86: size NR_IRQS on 32-bit systems the same way as 64-bit
x86: don't allow nr_irqs > NR_IRQS
x86/docs: remove noirqbalance param docs
x86: don't use tsc_khz to calculate lpj if notsc is passed
x86, voyager: fix smp_intr_init() compile breakage
AMD IOMMU: fix detection of NP capable IOMMUs
|
|
Impact: fix warning message when PARAVIRT is set in config
Remove stale #ifdef components from our IRQ sizing logic.
x86/Voyager is the only holdout.

Impact: make NR_IRQS big enough for system with lots of apic/pins
If lots of IO_APIC's are there (or can be there), size the same way
as 64-bit, depending on MAX_IO_APICS and NR_CPUS.
This fixes the boot problem reported by Ben Hutchings on a 32-bit
server with 5 IO-APICs and 240 IO-APIC pins.

Impact: improve wakeup affinity on NUMA systems, tweak SMP systems
Given the fixes+tweaks to the wakeup-buddy code, re-tweak the domain
balancing defaults on NUMA and SMP systems.
Turn on SD_WAKE_AFFINE which was off on x86 NUMA - there's no reason
why we would not want to have wakeup affinity across nodes as well.
(we already do this in the standard NUMA template.)
lat_ctx on a NUMA box is particularly happy about this change:
before:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.60
| 2 5.70
after:
| phoenix:~/l> ./lat_ctx -s 0 2
| "size=0k ovr=2.65
| 2 2.07
a 2.75x speedup.
pipe-test is similarly happy about it too:
| phoenix:~/sched-tests> ./pipe-test
| 18.26 usecs/loop.
| 14.70 usecs/loop.
| 14.38 usecs/loop.
| 10.55 usecs/loop. # +WAKE_AFFINE on domain0+domain1
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
| 8.59 usecs/loop.
| 9.03 usecs/loop.
| 8.94 usecs/loop.
| 8.96 usecs/loop.
| 8.63 usecs/loop.
Also:
- disable SD_BALANCE_NEWIDLE on NUMA and SMP domains (keep it for siblings)
- enable SD_WAKE_BALANCE on SMP domains
Sysbench+postgresql improves all around the board, quite significantly:
.28-rc3-11474e2c .28-rc3-11474e2c-tune
-------------------------------------------------
1: 571 688 +17.08%
2: 1236 1206 -2.55%
4: 2381 2642 +9.89%
8: 4958 5164 +3.99%
16: 9580 9574 -0.07%
32: 7128 8118 +12.20%
64: 7342 8266 +11.18%
128: 7342 8064 +8.95%
256: 7519 7884 +4.62%
512: 7350 7731 +4.93%
-------------------------------------------------
SUM: 55412 59341 +6.62%
So it's a win both for the runup portion, the peak area and the tail.

Impact: build fix for non-ftrace architectures
Not all archs implement ftrace, and therefore do not have an asm/ftrace.h.
This patch corrects the problem.
The ftrace_nmi_enter/exit now must be defined for all archs that implement
dynamic ftrace. Currently, only x86 does.
