From 99e8b9ca90d688c3ac7d3a141b701c9694a93925 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Zickus Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2011 15:14:26 -0400 Subject: x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may have problems with using an NMI IPI. This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine panics and we learn the hard way. Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The output looks like: ... Brought up 4 CPUs ---------------- | NMI testsuite: -------------------- remote IPI: ok | local IPI: ok | -------------------- Good, all 2 testcases passed! | --------------------------------- Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS). ...

Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration. These hooks are used on x86. If a newly started cpu has the same phys_proc_id as a core already active, uses the TSC for the delay loop and has a CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated value of loops_per_jiffy. This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a 4096 cpu system from: 465 sec OLD 62 sec NEW This reduces boot time on a 4096p system by almost 7 minutes. Nice...
