2011-09-21x86, msi, intr-remap: Use the ioapic set affinity routineSuresh Siddha
IRQ set affinity routine is same for the IO-APIC IRQ's aswell as the MSI IRQ's in the presence of interrupt-remapping. This is because we modify the interrupt-remapping table entry and doesn't touch the IO-APIC RTE or the MSI entry. So remove the ir_msi_set_affinity() and re-use the ir_ioapic_set_affinity() Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: yinghai@kernel.org Cc: youquan.song@intel.com Cc: joerg.roedel@amd.com Cc: tony.luck@intel.com Cc: dwmw2@infradead.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110824001456.452760446@sbsiddha-desk.sc.intel.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2011-09-21x86, x2apic: Enable the bios request for x2apic optoutSuresh Siddha
On the platforms which are x2apic and interrupt-remapping capable, Linux kernel is enabling x2apic even if the BIOS doesn't. This is to take advantage of the features that x2apic brings in. Some of the OEM platforms are running into issues because of this, as their bios is not x2apic aware. For example, this was resulting in interrupt migration issues on one of the platforms. Also if the BIOS SMI handling uses APIC interface to send SMI's, then the BIOS need to be aware of x2apic mode that OS has enabled. On some of these platforms, BIOS doesn't have a HW mechanism to turnoff the x2apic feature to prevent OS from enabling it. To resolve this mess, recent changes to the VT-d2 specification: http://download.intel.com/technology/computing/vptech/Intel(r)_VT_for_Direct_IO.pdf includes a mechanism that provides BIOS a way to request system software to opt out of enabling x2apic mode. Look at the x2apic optout flag in the DMAR tables before enabling the x2apic mode in the platform. Also print a warning that we have disabled x2apic based on the BIOS request. Kernel boot parameter "intremap=no_x2apic_optout" can be used to override the BIOS x2apic optout request.

2011-09-14x86, mce: Do not call del_timer_sync() in IRQ contextHidetoshi Seto
del_timer_sync() can cause a deadlock when called in interrupt context. It is used with on_each_cpu() in some parts for sysfs files like bank*, check_interval, cmci_disabled and ignore_ce. However, use of on_each_cpu() results in calling the function passed as the argument in interrupt context. This causes a flood of nested warnings from del_timer_sync() (it runs on each CPU) caused even by a simple file access like: $ echo 300 > /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/check_interval Fortunately, these MCE-specific files are rarely used and AFAIK only few MCE geeks experience this warning. To remove the warning, move timer deletion outside of the interrupt context. Signed-off-by: Hidetoshi Seto <seto.hidetoshi@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

2011-09-12x86: cache_info: Kill the atomic allocation in amd_init_l3_cache()Thomas Gleixner
It's not a good reason to allocate memory in the smp function call just because someone thought it's the most conveniant place. The AMD L3 data is coupled to the northbridge info by a pointer to the corresponding north bridge data. So allocating it with the northbridge data and referencing the northbridge in the cache_info code instead uses less memory and gets rid of that atomic allocation hack in the smp function call.

2011-08-05x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15hBorislav Petkov
This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

2011-08-04x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt opAndy Lutomirski
Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3 selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq changes cs to the magic value 0xe033. Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling" (c9712944b2a12373cb6ff8059afcfb7e826a6c54), vsyscalls will segfault if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when older init builds die. It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

2011-08-04x86-64: Work around gold bug 13023Andy Lutomirski
Gold has trouble assigning numbers to the location counter inside of an output section description. The bug was triggered by 9fd67b4ed0714ab718f1f9bd14c344af336a6df7, which consolidated all of the vsyscall sections into a single section. The workaround is IMO still nicer than the old way of doing it. This produces an apparently valid kernel image and passes my vdso tests on both GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118 and GNU gold (version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118) 1.10 as distributed by Fedora 15.

If the CPU declares that RDRAND is available, go through a guranteed reseed sequence, and make sure that it is actually working (producing data.) If it does not, disable the CPU feature flag. Allow RDRAND to be disabled on the command line (as opposed to at compile time) for a user who has special requirements with regards to random numbers. Signed-off-by: H.

This patch implements the kvm bits of the steal time infrastructure. The most important part of it, is the steal time clock. It is an continuous clock that shows the accumulated amount of steal time since vcpu creation. It is supposed to survive cpu offlining/onlining.
