2011-04-06x86, hibernate: Initialize mmu_cr4_features during bootH. Peter Anvin1-0/+5
Restore the initialization of mmu_cr4_features during boot, which was removed without comment in checkin e5f15b45ddf3afa2bbbb10c7ea34fb32b6de0a0e x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded thereby breaking resume from hibernate. This restores previous functionality in approximately the same place, and corrects the reading of %cr4 on pre-CPUID hardware (%cr4 exists if and only if CPUID is supported.) However, part of the problem is that the hibernate suspend/resume sequence should manage the save/restore of %cr4 explicitly. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rafael J.

2011-03-29x86, mtrr, pat: Fix one cpu getting out of sync during resumeSuresh Siddha1-5/+15
On laptops with core i5/i7, there were reports that after resume graphics workloads were performing poorly on a specific AP, while the other cpu's were ok. This was observed on a 32bit kernel specifically. Debug showed that the PAT init was not happening on that AP during resume and hence it contributing to the poor workload performance on that cpu. On this system, resume flow looked like this: 1. BP starts the resume sequence and we reinit BP's MTRR's/PAT early on using mtrr_bp_restore() 2. Resume sequence brings all AP's online 3. Resume sequence now kicks off the MTRR reinit on all the AP's. 4. For some reason, between point 2 and 3, we moved from BP to one of the AP's. My guess is that printk() during resume sequence is contributing to this. We don't see similar behavior with the 64bit kernel but there is no guarantee that at this point the remaining resume sequence (after AP's bringup) has to happen on BP. 5. set_mtrr() was assuming that we are still on BP and skipped the MTRR/PAT init on that cpu (because of 1 above) 6. But we were on an AP and this led to not reprogramming PAT on this cpu leading to bad performance. Fix this by doing unconditional mtrr_if->set_all() in set_mtrr() during MTRR/PAT init. This might be unnecessary if we are still running on BP. But it is of no harm and will guarantee that after resume, all the cpu's will be in sync with respect to the MTRR/PAT registers.

2011-03-29x86, microcode: Unregister syscore_ops after microcode unloadedXiaotian Feng1-0/+1
Currently, microcode doesn't unregister syscore_ops after it's unloaded. So if we modprobe then rmmod microcode, the stale microcode syscore_ops info will stay on syscore_ops_list. Later when we're trying to reboot/halt/shutdown the machine, kernel will panic on syscore_shutdown(). With the patch applied, I can reboot/halt/shutdown my machine successfully.

Eric Dumazet reported that hardware PMU events do not work on his system, due to the BIOS corrupting PMU state: Performance Events: PEBS fmt0+, Core2 events, Broken BIOS detected, using software events only. [Firmware Bug]: the BIOS has corrupted hw-PMU resources (MSR 186 is 43003c) Linus suggested that we continue in the face of such BIOS-induced CPU state corruption: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/24/608 Such BIOSes will have to be fixed - Linux developers rely on a working and fully capable PMU and the BIOS interfering with the CPU's PMU state is simply not acceptable. So this patch changes perf to continue when it detects such BIOS interaction, some hardware events may be unreliable due to the BIOS writing and re-writing them - there's not much the kernel can do about that but to detect the corruption and report it.

2011-03-24perf, x86: P4 PMU - Read proper MSR register to catch unflagged overflowsDon Zickus1-0/+1
The read of a proper MSR register was missed and instead of counter the configration register was tested (it has ARCH_P4_UNFLAGGED_BIT always cleared) leading to unknown NMI hitting the system. As result the user may obtain "Dazed and confused, but trying to continue" message. Fix it by reading a proper MSR register. When an NMI happens on a P4, the perf nmi handler checks the configuration register to see if the overflow bit is set or not before taking appropriate action. Unfortunately, various P4 machines had a broken overflow bit, so a backup mechanism was implemented. This mechanism checked to see if the counter rolled over or not. A previous commit that implemented this backup mechanism was broken. Instead of reading the counter register, it used the configuration register to determine if the counter rolled over or not. Reading that bit would give incorrect results. This would lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages for the end user when using the perf tool (or if the nmi watchdog is running). The fix is to read the counter register before determining if the counter rolled over or not.

To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().

2011-03-23x86: Use syscore_ops instead of sysdev classes and sysdevsRafael J. Wysocki9-200/+116
Some subsystems in the x86 tree need to carry out suspend/resume and shutdown operations with one CPU on-line and interrupts disabled and they define sysdev classes and sysdevs or sysdev drivers for this purpose. This leads to unnecessarily complicated code and excessive memory usage, so switch them to using struct syscore_ops objects for this purpose instead. Generally, there are three categories of subsystems that use sysdevs for implementing PM operations: (1) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks ignore their arguments entirely (the majority), (2) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their struct sys_device argument, but don't really need to do that, because they can be implemented differently in an arguably simpler way (io_apic.c), and (3) subsystems whose suspend/resume callbacks use their struct sys_device argument, but the value of that argument is always the same and could be ignored (microcode_core.c). In all of these cases the subsystems in question may be readily converted to using struct syscore_ops objects for power management and shutdown. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users in mind. For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1, 2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow, reader 1 reader 2 1 2 3 4 -1 -1 where -1 signals there is no more record ID. Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no chance to check record 1 and 3. And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any record even they are not cleared by anyone. This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple users. To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and implemented. When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to caller. So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID available.

2011-03-21introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file systemSage Weil1-0/+1
It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).

2011-03-19x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concludedYinghai Lu2-25/+3
Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and tries to clean from _brk_end to _end. It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently does not. Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there. This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so we can do everything in one step. Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

2011-03-19perf, x86: Fix Intel fixed counters base initializationStephane Eranian1-1/+1
The following patch solves the problems introduced by Robert's commit 41bf498 and reported by Arun Sharma. This commit gets rid of the base + index notation for reading and writing PMU msrs. The problem is that for fixed counters, the new calculation for the base did not take into account the fixed counter indexes, thus all fixed counters were read/written from fixed counter 0. Although all fixed counters share the same config MSR, they each have their own counter register.

2011-03-18x86, dumpstack: Correct stack dump info when frame pointer is availableNamhyung Kim6-25/+28
Current stack dump code scans entire stack and check each entry contains a pointer to kernel code. If CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=y it could mark whether the pointer is valid or not based on value of the frame pointer. Invalid entries could be preceded by '?' sign. However this was not going to happen because scan start point was always higher than the frame pointer so that they could not meet. Commit 9c0729dc8062 ("x86: Eliminate bp argument from the stack tracing routines") delayed bp acquisition point, so the bp was read in lower frame, thus all of the entries were marked invalid. This patch fixes this by reverting above commit while retaining stack_frame() helper as suggested by Frederic Weisbecker. End result looks like below: before: [ 3.508329] Call Trace: [ 3.508551] [<ffffffff814f35c9>] ? panic+0x91/0x199 [ 3.508662] [<ffffffff814f3739>] ? printk+0x68/0x6a [ 3.508770] [<ffffffff81a981b2>] ? mount_block_root+0x257/0x26e [ 3.508876] [<ffffffff81a9821f>] ? mount_root+0x56/0x5a [ 3.508975] [<ffffffff81a98393>] ? prepare_namespace+0x170/0x1a9 [ 3.509216] [<ffffffff81a9772b>] ? kernel_init+0x1d2/0x1e2 [ 3.509335] [<ffffffff81003894>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 3.509442] [<ffffffff814f6880>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [ 3.509542] [<ffffffff81a97559>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1e2 [ 3.509641] [<ffffffff81003890>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 after: [ 3.522991] Call Trace: [ 3.523351] [<ffffffff814f35b9>] panic+0x91/0x199 [ 3.523468] [<ffffffff814f3729>] ? printk+0x68/0x6a [ 3.523576] [<ffffffff81a981b2>] mount_block_root+0x257/0x26e [ 3.523681] [<ffffffff81a9821f>] mount_root+0x56/0x5a [ 3.523780] [<ffffffff81a98393>] prepare_namespace+0x170/0x1a9 [ 3.523885] [<ffffffff81a9772b>] kernel_init+0x1d2/0x1e2 [ 3.523987] [<ffffffff81003894>] kernel_thread_helper+0x4/0x10 [ 3.524228] [<ffffffff814f6880>] ? restore_args+0x0/0x30 [ 3.524345] [<ffffffff81a97559>] ? kernel_init+0x0/0x1e2 [ 3.524445] [<ffffffff81003890>] ? kernel_thread_helper+0x0/0x10 -v5: * fix build breakage with oprofile -v4: * use 0 instead of regs->bp * separate out printk changes -v3: * apply comment from Frederic * add a couple of printk fixes Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Soren Sandmann <ssp@redhat.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Robert Richter <robert.richter@amd.com> LKML-Reference: <1300416006-3163-1-git-send-email-namhyung@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
