2011-05-17x86, AMD: Fix ARAT feature setting againBorislav Petkov
Trying to enable the local APIC timer on early K8 revisions uncovers a number of other issues with it, in conjunction with the C1E enter path on AMD. Fixing those causes much more churn and troubles than the benefit of using that timer brings so don't enable it on K8 at all, falling back to the original functionality the kernel had wrt to that.

This reverts commit e20a2d205c05cef6b5783df339a7d54adeb50962, as it crashes certain boxes with specific AMD CPU models. Moving the lower endpoint of the Erratum 400 check to accomodate earlier K8 revisions (A-E) opens a can of worms which is simply not worth to fix properly by tweaking the errata checking framework: * missing IntPenging MSR on revisions < CG cause #GP: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=130541471818831 * makes earlier revisions use the LAPIC timer instead of the C1E idle routine which switches to HPET, thus not waking up in deeper C-states: http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/24/20 Therefore, leave the original boundary starting with K8-revF.

2011-05-16xen/pci: Fix compiler error when CONFIG_XEN_PRIVILEGED_GUEST is not set.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
If we have CONFIG_XEN and the other parameters to build an Linux kernel that is non-privileged, the xen_[find|register|unregister]_ device_domain_owner functions should not be compiled. They should use the nops defined in arch/x86/include/asm/xen/pci.h instead.

2011-05-16x86, apic: Fix spurious error interrupts triggering on all non-boot APsYouquan Song
This patch fixes a bug reported by a customer, who found that many unreasonable error interrupts reported on all non-boot CPUs (APs) during the system boot stage. According to Chapter 10 of Intel Software Developer Manual Volume 3A, Local APIC may signal an illegal vector error when an LVT entry is set as an illegal vector value (0~15) under FIXED delivery mode (bits 8-11 is 0), regardless of whether the mask bit is set or an interrupt actually happen. These errors are seen as error interrupts. The initial value of thermal LVT entries on all APs always reads 0x10000 because APs are woken up by BSP issuing INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence to them and LVT registers are reset to 0s except for the mask bits which are set to 1s when APs receive INIT IPI. When the BIOS takes over the thermal throttling interrupt, the LVT thermal deliver mode should be SMI and it is required from the kernel to keep AP's LVT thermal monitoring register programmed as such as well. This issue happens when BIOS does not take over thermal throttling interrupt, AP's LVT thermal monitor register will be restored to 0x10000 which means vector 0 and fixed deliver mode, so all APs will signal illegal vector error interrupts. This patch check if interrupt delivery mode is not fixed mode before restoring AP's LVT thermal monitor register.

2011-05-12x86: Fix UV BAU for non-consecutive nasidsCliff Wickman
This is a fix for the SGI Altix-UV Broadcast Assist Unit code, which is used for TLB flushing. Certain hardware configurations (that customers are ordering) cause nasids (numa address space id's) to be non-consecutive. Specifically, once you have more than 4 blades in a IRU (Individual Rack Unit - or 1/2 rack) but less than the maximum of 16, the nasid numbering becomes non-consecutive. This currently results in a 'catastrophic error' (CATERR) detected by the firmware during OS boot. The BAU is generating an 'INTD' request that is targeting a non-existent nasid value. Such configurations may also occur when a blade is configured off because of hardware errors. (There is one UV hub per blade.) This patch is required to support such configurations. The problem with the tlb_uv.c code is that is using the consecutive hub numbers as indices to the BAU distribution bit map. These are simply the ordinal position of the hub or blade within its partition. It should be using physical node numbers (pnodes), which correspond to the physical nasid values. Use of the hub number only works as long as the nasids in the partition are consecutive and increase with a stride of 1. This patch changes the index to be the pnode number, thus allowing nasids to be non-consecutive. It also provides a table in local memory for each cpu to translate target cpu number to target pnode and nasid. And it improves naming to properly reflect 'node' and 'uvhub' versus 'nasid'.

.. when applicable. We need to track in the p2m_mfn and p2m_mfn_p the MFNs and pointers, respectivly, for the P2M entries that are allocated for the identity mappings. Without this, a PV domain with an E820 that triggers the 1-1 mapping to kick in, won't be able to be restored as the P2M won't have the identity mappings.

git commit 24bdb0b62cc82120924762ae6bc85afc8c3f2b26 (xen: do not create the extra e820 region at an addr lower than 4G) does not take into account that ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 instead of e820_end_of_low_ram_pfn() find_low_pfn_range() is called (both calls are from arch/x86/kernel/setup.c). find_low_pfn_range() behaves correctly and does not require change in xen_extra_mem_start initialization. Additionally, if xen_extra_mem_start is initialized in the same way as ifdef CONFIG_X86_64 then memory hotplug support for Xen balloon driver (under development) is broken.

2011-05-12xen mmu: fix a race window causing leave_mm BUG()Tian, Kevin
There's a race window in xen_drop_mm_ref, where remote cpu may exit dirty bitmap between the check on this cpu and the point where remote cpu handles drop request. So in drop_other_mm_ref we need check whether TLB state is still lazy before calling into leave_mm.

2011-05-12x86,xen: introduce x86_init.mapping.pagetable_reserveStefano Stabellini
Introduce a new x86_init hook called pagetable_reserve that at the end of init_memory_mapping is used to reserve a range of memory addresses for the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones. On native it just calls memblock_x86_reserve_range while on xen it also takes care of setting the spare memory previously allocated for kernel pagetable pages from RO to RW, so that it can be used for other purposes. A detailed explanation of the reason why this hook is needed follows. As a consequence of the commit: commit 4b239f458c229de044d6905c2b0f9fe16ed9e01e Author: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Date: Fri Dec 17 16:58:28 2010 -0800 x86-64, mm: Put early page table high at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and everything is fine. Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c). In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those ranges are RO). For this reason we need a hook to reserve the kernel pagetable pages we used and free the other ones so that they can be reused for other purposes. On native it just means calling memblock_x86_reserve_range, on Xen it also means marking RW the pagetable pages that we allocated before but that haven't been used before. Another way to fix this is without using the hook is by adding a 'if (xen_pv_domain)' in the 'init_memory_mapping' code and calling the Xen counterpart, but that is just nasty.

This fixes problems seen on UV systems handling NMIs from the node controller. I isolated the "dazed..." messages that I saw earlier to a bug in the BMC on our platform. It was sending NMIs w/o properly setting a register that indicated the source of NMI. So rather than _assuming_ any unhandled NMI came from the UV system maintenance console (SMC), add a check to verify that the SMC actually sent the NMI.

2011-05-04[CPUFREQ] use dynamic debug instead of custom infrastructureDominik Brodowski
With dynamic debug having gained the capability to report debug messages also during the boot process, it offers a far superior interface for debug messages than the custom cpufreq infrastructure. As a first step, remove the old cpufreq_debug_printk() function and replace it with a call to the generic pr_debug() function. How can dynamic debug be used on cpufreq? You need a kernel which has CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled. To enabled debugging during runtime, mount debugfs and $ echo -n 'module cpufreq +p' > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control for debugging the complete "cpufreq" module. To achieve the same goal during boot, append ddebug_query="module cpufreq +p" as a boot parameter to the kernel of your choice.

The reason is that at some point init_memory_mapping is going to reach the pagetable pages area and map those pages too (mapping them as normal memory that falls in the range of addresses passed to init_memory_mapping as argument). Some of those pages are already pagetable pages (they are in the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end) therefore they are going to be mapped RO and everything is fine. Some of these pages are not pagetable pages yet (they fall in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top; for example the page at pgt_buf_end) so they are going to be mapped RW. When these pages become pagetable pages and are hooked into the pagetable, xen will find that the guest has already a RW mapping of them somewhere and fail the operation. The reason Xen requires pagetables to be RO is that the hypervisor needs to verify that the pagetables are valid before using them. The validation operations are called "pinning" (more details in arch/x86/xen/mmu.c). In order to fix the issue we mark all the pages in the entire range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_top as RO, however when the pagetable allocation is completed only the range pgt_buf_start-pgt_buf_end is reserved by init_memory_mapping. Hence the kernel is going to crash as soon as one of the pages in the range pgt_buf_end-pgt_buf_top is reused (b/c those ranges are RO). For this reason, this function is introduced which is called _after_ the init_memory_mapping has completed (in a perfect world we would call this function from init_memory_mapping, but lets ignore that). Because we are called _after_ init_memory_mapping the pgt_buf_[start, end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top]. When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called), we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top. And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones so that we can redo this on the next pagetable. Acked-by: "H.

2011-05-01x86, NUMA: Fix empty memblk detection in numa_cleanup_meminfo()Yinghai Lu
numa_cleanup_meminfo() trims each memblk between low (0) and high (max_pfn) limits and discards empty ones. However, the emptiness detection incorrectly used equality test. If the start of a memblk is higher than max_pfn, it is empty but fails the equality test and doesn't get discarded. The condition triggers when max_pfn is lower than start of a NUMA node and results in memory misconfiguration - leading to WARN_ON()s and other funnies. The bug was discovered in devel branch where 32bit too uses this code path for NUMA init. If a node is above the addressing limit, max_pfn ends up lower than the node triggering this problem. The failure hasn't been observed on x86-64 but is still possible with broken hardware e820/NUMA info. As the fix is very low risk, it would be better to apply it even for 64bit. Fix it by using >= instead of ==.

2011-05-01x86, AMD: Fix APIC timer erratum 400 affecting K8 Rev.A-E processorsBoris Ostrovsky
Older AMD K8 processors (Revisions A-E) are affected by erratum 400 (APIC timer interrupts don't occur in C states greater than C1). This, for example, means that X86_FEATURE_ARAT flag should not be set for these parts. This addresses regression introduced by commit b87cf80af3ba4b4c008b4face3c68d604e1715c6 ("x86, AMD: Set ARAT feature on AMD processors") where the system may become unresponsive until external interrupt (such as keyboard input) occurs. This results, for example, in time not being reported correctly, lack of progress on the system and other lockups.

2011-04-28x86: ce4100: Configure IOAPIC pins for USB and SATA to level typeSebastian Andrzej Siewior
The USB and SATA ioapic interrrupt pins are configured as edge type, but need to be level type interrupts to work correctly.

2011-04-28x86: devicetree: Configure IOAPIC pin only onceSebastian Andrzej Siewior
We use io_apic_setup_irq_pin() in order to configure pin's interrupt number polarity and type. This is done on every irq_create_of_mapping() which happens for instance during pci enable calls. Level typed interrupts are masked by default, edge are unmasked. On the first ->xlate() call the level interrupt is configured and masked. The driver calls request_irq() and the line is unmasked. Lets assume the interrupt line is shared with another device and we call pci_enable_device() for this device. The ->xlate() configures the pin again and it is masked. request_irq() does not unmask the line because it _is_ already unmasked according to its internal state. So the interrupt will never be unmasked again. This patch is based on an earlier work by Torben Hohn and solves the problem by configuring the pin only once. Since all devices must agree on the same type and polarity there is no point in configuring the pin more than once.

2011-04-27perf, x86, nmi: Move LVT un-masking into irq handlersDon Zickus
It was noticed that P4 machines were generating double NMIs for each perf event. These extra NMIs lead to 'Dazed and confused' messages on the screen. I tracked this down to a P4 quirk that said the overflow bit had to be cleared before re-enabling the apic LVT mask. My first attempt was to move the un-masking inside the perf nmi handler from before the chipset NMI handler to after. This broke Nehalem boxes that seem to like the unmasking before the counters themselves are re-enabled. In order to keep this change simple for 2.6.39, I decided to just simply move the apic LVT un-masking to the beginning of all the chipset NMI handlers, with the exception of Pentium4's to fix the double NMI issue. Later on we can move the un-masking to later in the handlers to save a number of 'extra' NMIs on those particular chipsets. I tested this change on a P4 machine, an AMD machine, a Nehalem box, and a core2quad box. 'perf top' worked correctly along with various other small 'perf record' runs. Anything high stress breaks all the machines but that is a different problem. Thanks to various people for testing different versions of this patch.

2011-04-26perf events, x86: Work around the Nehalem AAJ80 erratumIngo Molnar
On Nehalem CPUs the retired branch-misses event can be completely bogus, when there are no branch-misses occuring. When there are a lot of branch misses then the count is pretty accurate. Still, this leaves us with an event that over-counts a lot. Detect this erratum and work it around by using BR_MISP_EXEC.ANY events. These will also count speculated branches but still it's a lot more precise in practice than the architectural event.
