Some HP laptops seem to have invalid 64 bit FADT X_PM* addresses
which are causing various boot issues. In these cases, it would
be useful to force ACPI to use the valid legacy 32 bit equivalent

We do not have a strict read/write order requirement while accessing
PCC subspace. The only requirement is all access should be committed
before triggering the PCC doorbell to transfer the ownership of PCC
to the platform and this requirement is enforced by the PCC driver.
Profiling on a many core system shows improvement of about 1.8us on
average per freq change request(about 10% improvement on average).
Since these operations are executed while holding the pcc_lock,
reducing this time helps the CPPC implementation to scale much
better as the number of cores increases.

pcc_send_data() can be invoked during the execution of performance
critical code as in cppc_cpufreq driver. With acpi_* APIs, the
doorbell register accessed in pcc_send_data() if present in system
memory will be searched (in cached virt to phys addr mapping),
mapped, read/written and then unmapped. These operations take
significant amount of time.
This patch maps the performance critical doorbell register
during init and then reads/writes to it directly using the
mapped virtual address. This patch + similar changes to CPPC

cpc_read and cpc_write are used while holding the pcc_lock spin_lock,
so they need to be as fast as possible. acpi_os_read/write_memory
APIs linearly search through a list for cached mapping which is
quite expensive. Since the PCC subspace is already mapped into
virtual address space during initialization, we can just add the
offset and access the necessary CPPC registers.

Previously the send_pcc_cmd() code checked if the
PCC operation had completed before returning from
the function. This check was performed regardless
of the PCC op type (i.e. Read/Write). Knowing
the type of cmd can be used to optimize the check
and avoid needless waiting. e.g. with Write ops,
the actual Writing is done before calling send_pcc_cmd().
And the subsequent Writes will check if the channel is
free at the entry of send_pcc_cmd() anyway.
However, for Read cmds, we need to wait for the cmd
completion bit to be flipped, since the actual Read
ops follow after returning from the send_pcc_cmd(). So,
only do the looping check at the end for Read ops.
Also, instead of using udelay() calls, use ktime as a
means to check for deadlines. The current deadline
in which the Remote should flip the cmd completion bit
is defined as N * Nominal latency. Where N is arbitrary
and large enough to work on slow emulators and Nominal
latency comes from the ACPI table (PCCT). This helps
in working around the CONFIG_HZ effects on udelay()
and also avoids needing different ACPI tables for Silicon
and Emulation platforms.

====================
kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM)
Kernel Connection Multiplexor (KCM) is a facility that provides a
message based interface over TCP for generic application protocols.
The motivation for this is based on the observation that although
TCP is byte stream transport protocol with no concept of message
boundaries, a common use case is to implement a framed application
layer protocol running over TCP. To date, most TCP stacks offer
byte stream API for applications, which places the burden of message
delineation, message I/O operation atomicity, and load balancing
in the application. With KCM an application can efficiently send
and receive application protocol messages over TCP using a
datagram interface.
In order to delineate message in a TCP stream for receive in KCM, the
kernel implements a message parser. For this we chose to employ BPF
which is applied to the TCP stream. BPF code parses application layer
messages and returns a message length. Nearly all binary application
protocols are parsable in this manner, so KCM should be applicable
across a wide range of applications. Other than message length
determination in receive, KCM does not require any other application
specific awareness. KCM does not implement any other application
protocol semantics-- these are are provided in userspace or could be
implemented in a kernel module layered above KCM.
KCM implements an NxM multiplexor in the kernel as diagrammed below:
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+ +------------+
| KCM socket | | KCM socket | | KCM socket | | KCM socket |
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+ +------------+
| | | |
+-----------+ | | +----------+
| | | |
+----------------------------------+
| Multiplexor |
+----------------------------------+
| | | | |
+---------+ | | | ------------+
| | | | |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| Psock | | Psock | | Psock | | Psock | | Psock |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| | | | |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
| TCP sock | | TCP sock | | TCP sock | | TCP sock | | TCP sock |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+ +----------+
The KCM sockets provide the datagram interface to applications,
Psocks are the state for each attached TCP connection (i.e. where
message delineation is performed on receive).
A description of the APIs and design can be found in the included
Documentation/networking/kcm.txt.
In this patch set:
- Add MSG_BATCH flag. This is used in sendmsg msg_hdr flags to
indicate that more messages will be sent on the socket. The stack
may batch messages up if it is beneficial for transmission.
- In sendmmsg, set MSG_BATCH in all sub messages except for the last
one.
- In order to allow sendmmsg to contain multiple messages with
SOCK_SEQPAKET we allow each msg_hdr in the sendmmsg to set MSG_EOR.
- Add KCM module
- This supports SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET.
- KCM documentation
v2:
- Added splice and page operations.
- Assemble receive messages in place on TCP socket (don't have a
separate assembly queue.
- Based on above, enforce maxmimum receive message to be the size
of the recceive socket buffer.
- Support message assembly timeout. Use the timeout value in
sk_rcvtimeo on the TCP socket.
- Tested some with a couple of other production applications,
see ~5% improvement in application latency.
Testing:
Dave Watson has integrated KCM into Thrift and we intend to put these
changes into open source. Example of this is in:
https://github.com/djwatson/fbthrift/commit/
dd7e0f9cf4e80912fdb90f6cd394db24e61a14cc
Some initial KCM Thrift benchmark numbers (comment from Dave)
Thrift by default ties a single connection to a single thread. KCM is
instead able to load balance multiple connections across multiple epoll
loops easily.
A test sending ~5k bytes of data to a kcm thrift server, dropping the
bytes on recv:
QPS Latency / std dev Latency
without KCM
70336 209/123
with KCM
70353 191/124
A test sending a small request, then doing work in the epoll thread,
before serving more requests:
QPS Latency / std dev Latency
without KCM
14282 559/602
with KCM
23192 344/234
At the high end, there's definitely some additional kernel overhead:
Cranking the pipelining way up, with lots of small requests
QPS Latency / std dev Latency
without KCM
1863429 127/119
with KCM
1337713 192/241
---
So for a "realistic" workload, KCM performs pretty well (second case).
Under extreme conditions of highest tps we still have some work to do.
In its nature a multiplexor will spread work between CPUs which is
logically good for load balancing but coan conflict with the goal
promoting affinity. Batching messages on both send and receive are
the means to recoup performance.
Future support:
- Integration with TLS (TLS-in-kernel is a separate initiative).
- Page operations/splice support
- Unconnected KCM sockets. Will be able to attach sockets to different
destinations, AF_KCM addresses with be used in sendmsg and recvmsg
to indicate destination
- Explore more utility in performing BPF inline with a TCP data stream
(setting SO_MARK, rxhash for messages being sent received on
KCM sockets).
- Performance work
- Diagnose performance issues under high message load
FAQ (Questions posted on LWN)
Q: Why do this in the kernel?
A: Because the kernel is good at scheduling threads and steering packets
to threads. KCM fits well into this model since it allows the unit
of work for scheduling and steering to be the application layer
messages themselves. KCM should be thought of as generic application
protocol acceleration. It to the philosophy that the kernel provides
generic and extensible interfaces.
Q: How can adding code in the path yield better performance?
A: It is true that for just sending receiving a single message there
would be some performance loss since the code path is longer (for
instance comparing netperf to KCM). But for real production
applications performance takes on many dynamics. Parallelism, context
switching, affinity, granularity of locking, and load balancing are
all relevant. The theory of KCM is that by an application-centric
interface, the kernel can provide better support for these
performance characteristics.
Q: Why not use an existing message-oriented protocol such as RUDP,
DCCP, SCTP, RDS, and others?
A: Because that would entail using a completely new transport protocol.
Deploying a new protocol at scale is either a huge undertaking or
fundamentally infeasible. This is true in either the Internet and in
the data center due in a large part to protocol ossification.
Besides, KCM we want KCM to work existing, well deployed application
protocols that we couldn't change even if we wanted to (e.g. http/2).
KCM simply defines a new interface method, it does not redefine any
aspect of the transport protocol nor application protocol, nor set
any new requirements on these. Neither does KCM attempt to implement
any application protocol logic other than message deliniation in the
stream. These are fundamental requirement of KCM.
Q: How does this affect TCP?
A: It doesn't, not in the slightest. The use of KCM can be one-sided,
KCM has no effect on the wire.
Q: Why force TCP into doing something it's not designed for?
A: TCP is defined as transport protocol and there is no standard that
says the API into TCP must be stream based sockets, or for that
matter sockets at all (or even that TCP needs to be implemented in a
kernel). KCM is not inconsistent with the design of TCP just because
to makes an message based interface over TCP, if it were then every
application protocol sending messages over TCP would also be! :-)
Q: What about the problem of a connections with very slow rate of
incoming data? As a result your application can get storms of very
short reads. And it actually happens a lot with connection from
mobile devices and it is a problem for servers handling a lot of
connections.
A: The storm of short reads will occur regardless of whether KCM is used
or not. KCM does have one advantage in this scenario though, it will
only wake up the application when a full message has been received,
not for each packet that makes up part of a bigger messages. If a
bunch of small messages are received, the application can receive
messages in batches using recvmmsg.
Q: Why not just use DPDK, or at least provide KCM like functionality in
DPDK?
A: DPDK, or more generally OS bypass presumably with a TCP stack in
userland, presents a different model of load balancing than that of
KCM (and the kernel). KCM implements load balancing of messages
across the threads of an application, whereas DPDK load balances
based on queues which are more static and coarse-grained since
multiple connections are bound to queues. DPDK works best when
processing of packets is silo'ed in a thread on the CPU processing
a queue, and packet processing (for both the stack and application)
is fairly uniform. KCM works well for applications where the amount
of work to process messages varies an application work is commonly
delegated to worker threads often on different CPUs.
The message based interface over TCP is something that could be
provide by a DPDK or OS bypass library.
Q: I'm not quite seeing this for HTTP. Maybe for HTTP/2, I guess, or web
sockets?
A: Yes. KCM is most appropriate for message based protocols over TCP
where is easy to deduce the message length (e.g. a length field)
and the protocol implements its own message ordering semantics.
Fortunately this encompasses many modern protocols.
Q: How is memory limited and controlled?
A: In v2 all data for messages is now kept in socket buffers, either
those for TCP or KCM, so socket buffer limits are applicable.
This includes receive messages assembly which is now done ont teh
TCP socket buffer instead of a separate queue-- this has the
consequence that the TCP socket buffer limit provides an
enforceable maxmimum message size.
Additionally, a timeout may be set for messages assembly. The
value used for this is taken from sk_rcvtimeo of the TCP socket.

This patch adds receive timeout for message assembly on the attached TCP
sockets. The timeout is set when a new messages is started and the whole
message has not been received by TCP (not in the receive queue). If the
completely message is subsequently received the timer is cancelled, if the
timer expires the RX side is aborted.
The timeout value is taken from the socket timeout (SO_RCVTIMEO) that is
set on a TCP socket (i.e. set by get sockopt before attaching a TCP socket
to KCM.

Message assembly is performed on the TCP socket. This is logically
equivalent of an application that performs a peek on the socket to find
out how much memory is needed for a receive buffer. The receive socket
buffer also provides the maximum message size which is checked.
The receive algorithm is something like:
1) Receive the first skbuf for a message (or skbufs if multiple are
needed to determine message length).
2) Check the message length against the number of bytes in the TCP
receive queue (tcp_inq()).
- If all the bytes of the message are in the queue (incluing the
skbuf received), then proceed with message assembly (it should
complete with the tcp_read_sock)
- Else, mark the psock with the number of bytes needed to
complete the message.
3) In TCP data ready function, if the psock indicates that we are
waiting for the rest of the bytes of a messages, check the number
of queued bytes against that.
- If there are still not enough bytes for the message, just
return
- Else, clear the waiting bytes and proceed to receive the
skbufs. The message should now be received in one

Add a new msg flag called MSG_BATCH. This flag is used in sendmsg to
indicate that more messages will follow (i.e. a batch of messages is
being sent). This is similar to MSG_MORE except that the following
messages are not merged into one packet, they are sent individually.
sendmmsg is updated so that each contained message except for the
last one is marked as MSG_BATCH.
MSG_BATCH is a performance optimization in cases where a socket

Pull PCI fix from Bjorn Helgaas:
"Here's another fix for v4.5. It fixes an ARM regression in v4.0 that
causes many boxes to crash on boot, including cns3xxx, dove,
footbridge, iopl13xx, ip32x, iop33x, ixp4xx, ks8695, mv78xx0, orion5x,
pxa, sa1100, etc.
The change is in code that's only built for ARM and ARM64.
Summary:
Enumeration:
Allow generic PCI domains without bridge "parent" pointer (Krzysztof Hałasa)"

klp_find_callback() stops the search when sympos is not defined and
a second symbol of the same name is found. It means that the current
error message about the unresolvable ambiguity always prints "(2 matches)".
Let's remove this information. The total number of occurrences is
not much helpful. The author of the patch still must put a non-trivial
effort into searching the right position in the object file.

Revert commit 3510fac45492 (cpufreq: postfix policy directory with the
first CPU in related_cpus).
Earlier, the policy->kobj was added to the kobject core, before ->init()
callback was called for the cpufreq drivers. Which allowed those drivers
to add or remove, driver dependent, sysfs files/directories to the same
kobj from their ->init() and ->exit() callbacks.
That isn't possible anymore after commit 3510fac45492.
Now, there is no other clean alternative that people can adopt.
Its better to revert the earlier commit to allow cpufreq drivers to
create/remove sysfs files from ->init() and ->exit() callbacks.

When alloc_disk(0) or alloc_disk-node(0, XX) is used, the ->major
number is completely ignored: all devices are allocated with a
major of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR.
So there is no point allocating pmem_major.

ACPI 6 defines persistent memory (PMEM) ranges in multiple
firmware interfaces, e820, EFI, and ACPI NFIT table. This EFI
change, however, leads to hit a bug in the grub bootloader, which
treats EFI_PERSISTENT_MEMORY type as regular memory and corrupts
stored user data [1].
Therefore, BIOS may set generic reserved type in e820 and EFI to
cover PMEM ranges. The kernel can initialize PMEM ranges from
ACPI NFIT table alone.
This scheme causes a problem in the iomem table, though. On x86,
for instance, e820_reserve_resources() initializes top-level entries
(iomem_resource.child) from the e820 table at early boot-time.
This creates "reserved" entry for a PMEM range, which does not allow
region_intersects() to check with PMEM type.
Change acpi_nfit_register_region() to call acpi_nfit_insert_resource(),
which calls insert_resource() to insert a PMEM entry from NFIT when
the iomem table does not have a PMEM entry already. That is, when
a PMEM range is marked as reserved type in e820, it inserts
"Persistent Memory" entry, which results as follows.
+ "Persistent Memory"
+ "reserved"
This allows the EINJ driver, which calls region_intersects() to check
PMEM ranges, to work continuously even if BIOS sets reserved type
(or sets nothing) to PMEM ranges in e820 and EFI.

insert_resource() and remove_resouce() are called by producers
of resources, such as FW modules and bus drivers. These modules
may be implemented as loadable modules.
Export insert_resource() and remove_resouce() so that they can
be called from such modules.

insert_resource() and insert_resource_conflict() are called
by resource producers to insert a new resource. When there
is any conflict, they move conflicting resources down to the
children of the new resource. There is no destructor of these
interfaces, however.
Add remove_resource(), which removes a resource previously
inserted by insert_resource() or insert_resource_conflict(),
and moves the children up to where they were before.
__release_resource() is changed to have @release_child, so
that this function can be used for remove_resource() as well.
Also add comments to clarify that these functions are intended
for producers of resources to avoid any confusion with
request/release_resource() for consumers.

__request_region() sets 'flags' of a new resource from @parent
as it inherits the parent's attribute. When a target resource
has a conflict, this function inserts the new resource entry
under the conflicted entry by updating @parent. In this case,
the new resource entry needs to inherit attribute from the updated
parent. This conflict is a typical case since __request_region()
is used to allocate a new resource from a specific resource range.
For instance, request_mem_region() calls __request_region() with
@parent set to &iomem_resource, which is the root entry of the
whole iomem range. When this request results in inserting a new
entry "DEV-A" under "BUS-1", "DEV-A" needs to inherit from the
immediate parent "BUS-1" as it holds specific attribute for the
range.
root (&iomem_resource)
:
+ "BUS-1"
+ "DEV-A"
Change __request_region() to set 'flags' and 'desc' of a new entry
from the immediate parent.

The firmware/hardware only supports checking AES-CMAC on RX, not
using it on TX. For station mode this is fine, since it's the only
thing it will ever do. For AP mode, it never receives such frames,
but must be able to transmit them. This is currently broken since
we try to enable them for hardware crypto (for RX only) and then
treat them as TX_CMD_SEC_EXT, leading to FIFO underruns during TX
so the frames never go out to the air.
To fix this, simply use software on TX in AP (and IBSS) mode.
