While testing the MCA recovery code, noticed that some machines would have a
five second delay rendezvousing cpus. What was happening is that
ia64_wait_for_slaves() would check to see if all the slave CPUs had
rendezvoused. If any had not, it would wait 1 millisecond then check again.
If any CPUs had still not rendezvoused, it would wait 5 seconds before
checking again.
On some configs the rendezvous takes more than 1 millisecond, causing the code
to wait the full 5 seconds, even though the last CPU rendezvoused after only
a few milliseconds.
The fix is to check every 1 millisecond to see if all the cpus have
rendezvoused. After 5 seconds the code concludes the CPUs will never
rendezvous (same as before).
The MCA code is, by definition, not performance critical, but a needless
delay of 5 seconds is senseless. The 5 seconds also adds up quickly
when running the error injection code in a loop.
This patch both simplifies the code and removes the needless delay.

* palinfo.c:
palinfo_cpu_notifier is a CPU hotplug notifier_block, and can be
marked __cpuinitdata, and the callback function palinfo_cpu_callback()
itself can be marked __cpuinit. create_palinfo_proc_entries() is only
called from __cpuinit callback or general __init code, therefore a
candidate for __cpuinit itself. remove_palinfo_proc_entries() is only
called from __cpuinit callback or general __exit code, therefore a
candidate for __cpuexit.
* salinfo.c:
The CPU hotplug notifier_block can be __cpuinitdata. The callback
salinfo_cpu_callback() is incorrectly marked __devinit -- it must
be __cpuinit instead.
* topology.c:
cache_sysfs_init() is only called at device_initcall() time so marking
it as __cpuinit is wrong and wasteful. It should be unconditionally
__init. Also cleanup reference to hotplug notifier callback function
from this function and replace with cache_add_dev(), which could also
enable us to use other tricks to replace __cpuinit{data} annotations,
as recently discussed on this list.
cache_shared_cpu_map_setup() is only ever called from __cpuinit-marked
functions hence both its definitions (SMP or !SMP) are candidates for
__cpuinit itself. Also all_cpu_cache_info can be __cpuinitdata because
only referenced from __cpuinit code.

When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task. This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL. This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done. The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.
A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug. On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.
Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

While sending interrupts to a cpu to repeatedly wake a thread, on occasion
that thread will take a full timer tick cycle (4002 usec in my case)
to wakeup.
The problem concerns a race condition in the code around the safe_halt()
call in the default_idle() routine. Setting 'nohalt' on the kernel
command line causes the long wakeups to disappear.
void
default_idle (void)
{
local_irq_enable();
while (!need_resched()) {
--> if (can_do_pal_halt)
--> safe_halt();
else
A timer tick could arrive between the check for !need_resched and the
actual call to safe_halt() (which does a pal call to PAL_HALT_LIGHT).
By the time the timer tick completes, a thread that might now need to run
could get held up for as long as a timer tick waiting for the halted cpu.
I'm proposing that we disable irq's and check need_resched again before
calling safe_halt(). Does anyone see any problem with this approach?

I did it on purpose (and gave the warning a miss...) and I consider

I decided to remain iosapic_rte_info to keep gsi-to-irq binding

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.
One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.
This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.

Add mapping tables between irqs and vectors, and its management code.
This is necessary for supporting multiple vector domain because 1:1
mapping between irq and vector will be changed to n:1.
The irq == vector relationship between irqs and vectors is explicitly
remained for percpu interrupts, platform interrupts, isa IRQs and
vectors assigned using assign_irq_vector() because some programs might
depend on it.
And I should consider the following problem.
When pci drivers enabled/disabled devices dynamically, its irq number
is changed to the different one. Therefore, suspend/resume code may

- 1:1 mapping between IRQ and vector
- IRQ == vector

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h. the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage. the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time. need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.
Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier. Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.
new command line will be:
console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
it will print in very early stage:
Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

The ".acq" semantics of the load only apply w.r.t. other data access.
Reading the clock (ar.itc) isn't a data access so strange things can
happen here. Specifically the read of ar.itc can be launched as soon
as the read of xtime_lock.sequence is ISSUED. Since this may cache
miss, and that might cause a thread switch, and there may be cache
contention for the line containing xtime_lock, it may be a long time
before the actual value is returned, so the ar.itc value may be very
stale.
Move the consumption of r28 up before the read of ar.itc to make sure
that we really have got the current value of xtime_lock.sequence
before look at ar.itc.

[IA64] Don't set psr.ic and psr.i simultaneously
Linux does not gracefully deal with multiple processors going
through OS_MCA aa part of the same MCA event. The first cpu
into OS_MCA grabs the ia64_mca_serialize lock. Subsequent
cpus wait for that lock, preventing them from reporting in as
rendezvoused. The first cpu waits 5 seconds then complains
that all the cpus have not rendezvoused. The first cpu then
handles its MCA and frees up all the rendezvoused cpus and
releases the ia64_mca_serialize lock. One of the subsequent
cpus going thought OS_MCA then gets the ia64_mca_serialize
lock, waits another 5 seconds and then complains that none of
the other cpus have rendezvoused.
This patch allows multiple CPUs to gracefully go through OS_MCA.
The first CPU into ia64_mca_handler() grabs a mca_count lock.
Subsequent CPUs into ia64_mca_handler() are added to a list of cpus
that need to go through OS_MCA (a bit set in mca_cpu), and report
in as rendezvoused, and but spin waiting their turn.
The first CPU sees everyone rendezvous, handles his MCA, wakes up
one of the other CPUs waiting to process their MCA (by clearing
one mca_cpu bit), and then waits for the other cpus to complete
their MCA handling. The next CPU handles his MCA and the process
repeats until all the CPUs have handled their MCA. When the last
CPU has handled it's MCA, it sets monarch_cpu to -1, releasing all
the CPUs.
In testing this works more reliably and faster.

to this code.

the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.
this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.
(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)
under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

The current implementation of kdump on INIT events would enter
kdump processing on DIE_INIT_MONARCH_ENTER and DIE_INIT_SLAVE_ENTER

On SN shub2 systems, this out-of-sync situation causes some slave
cpus on different nodes to enter POD.
This patch moves kdump entry points to DIE_INIT_MONARCH_LEAVE and
DIE_INIT_SLAVE_LEAVE. It also sets kdump_in_progress variable in
the DIE_INIT_MONARCH_PROCESS event to not dump all active stack
traces to the console in the case of kdump.

In case of reentrance i.e when a probe handler calls a functions which
inturn has a probe, we save a previous kprobe information and just single
step the reentrant probe without calling the actual probe handler. During
this reentracy period, if an interrupt occurs and if probe happens to
trigger in the inturrupt path, then we were corrupting the previous kprobe(
as we were overriding the previous kprobe info) info their by crashing the
system. This patch fixes this issues by having a an array of previous

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

Currently the size of the per-cpu region reserved to save crash notes is
set by the per-architecture value MAX_NOTE_BYTES. Which in turn is
currently set to 1024 on all supported architectures.
While testing ia64 I recently discovered that this value is in fact too
small. The particular setup I was using actually needs 1172 bytes. This
lead to very tedious failure mode where the tail of one elf note would
overwrite the head of another if they ended up being alocated sequentially
by kmalloc, which was often the case.
It seems to me that a far better approach is to caclculate the size that
the area needs to be. This patch does just that.
If a simpler stop-gap patch for ia64 to be squeezed into 2.6.21(.X) is
needed then this should be as easy as making MAX_NOTE_BYTES larger in
arch/asm-ia64/kexec.h. Perhaps 2048 would be a good choice. However, I
think that the approach in this patch is a much more robust idea.

Example memory map (from HP sx1000 with VGA enabled):
0x00000 - 0x9FFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access
0xA0000 - 0xBFFFF supports only UC (uncacheable) access
0xC0000 - 0xFFFFF supports only WB (cacheable) access
Some versions of X map the entire 0x00000-0xFFFFF area at once. With the
example above, this mmap must fail because there's no memory attribute that's
safe for the entire area.
Prior to this patch, we performed the mmap with a UC mapping. When X
accessed the WB memory at 0xC0000, it caused an MCA. The crash can happen
when mapping 0xC0000 from either /dev/mem or a /sys/.../legacy_mem file.

The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.
The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.
So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.
This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().
The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory. Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled

being closed and the memory freed. This results in use-after-free bugs and
multiple freeing of pages, etc.

Without this patch is so that vmcore is zero length on ia64. This is
because saved_max_pfn was wrongly being set to the max_pfn of the crash
kernel's address space, rather than the max_pfg on the physical memory of
the machine - the whole purpose of vmcore is to access physical memory that
is not part of the crash kernel's addresss space.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of

duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in

Instead of pinning per-cpu TLB into a DTR, use DTC. This will free up
one TLB entry for application, or even kernel if access pattern to
per-cpu data area has high temporal locality.
Since per-cpu is mapped at the top of region 7 address, we just need to
add special case in alt_dtlb_miss. The physical address of per-cpu data
is already conveniently stored in IA64_KR(PER_CPU_DATA). Latency for
alt_dtlb_miss is not affected as we can hide all the latency. It was
measured that alt_dtlb_miss handler has 23 cycles latency before and
after the patch.
The performance effect is massive for applications that put lots of tlb
pressure on CPU. Workload environment like database online transaction
processing or application uses tera-byte of memory would benefit the most.
Measurement with industry standard database benchmark shown an upward
of 1.6% gain. While smaller workloads like cpu, java also showing small
improvement.

It's not efficient to use a per-cpu variable just to store
how many physical stack register a cpu has. Ever since the
incarnation of ia64 up till upcoming Montecito processor, that
variable has "glued" to 96. Having a variable in memory means
that the kernel is burning an extra cacheline access on every
syscall and kernel exit path. Such "static" value is better
served with the instruction patching utility exists today.
Convert ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8 into dynamic insn patching.
This also has a pleasant side effect of eliminating access to
per-cpu area while psr.ic=0 in the kernel exit path. (fixable
for per-cpu DTC work, but why bother?)
There are some concerns with the default value that the instruc-
tion encoded in the kernel image. It shouldn't be concerned.
The reasons are:
(1) cpu_init() is called at CPU initialization. In there, we
find out physical stack register size from PAL and patch
two instructions in kernel exit code. The code in question
can not be executed before the patching is done.
(2) current implementation stores zero in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8,
and that's what the current kernel exit path loads the value with.
With the new code, it is equivalent that we store reg size 96
in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8, thus creating a better safety net.
Given (1) above can never fail, having (2) is just a bonus.
All in all, this patch allow one less memory reference in the kernel
exit path, thus reducing syscall and interrupt return latency; and
avoid polluting potential useful data in the CPU cache.

When we offline a CPU, migrate_irqs() tries to determine whether the
affinity bits of the IRQ descriptor match any of the remaining online
CPUs. If not, it fixes up the interrupt to point somewhere else.
Unfortunately, if an IRQ is unregistered the IRQ descriptor may still
have affinity to the CPU being offlined, but the no_irq_chip handler
doesn't provide a set_affinity function. This causes us to hit the
WARN_ON in migrate_irqs().
The easiest solution seems to be setting all the bits in the affinity
mask when the last interrupt is removed from the vector. I hit this on
an older kernel with Xen/ia64 using driver domains (so it probably needs
more testing on upstream). Xen essentially uses the bind/unbind
interface in sysfs to unregister a device from a driver and thus
unregister the interrupt.

The SN Altix platform does not conform to the IOSAPIC IRQ routing model.
Add code in acpi_unregister_gsi() to check if (acpi_irq_model ==
ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) and return.
Due to an oversight, this code was not added previously when
similar code was added to acpi_register_gsi().

This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does
this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a
problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to
reproduce it on one machine so far.
The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the
new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs()
calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by
avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq().
The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good
results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor
using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.

ACPI 3.0 incorporated the SRAT spec, upping the table version to 2,
and extending the size of the proximity domain from 1-byte to 4-bytes.
This extension was into a reserved field that firmware should
set to 0, but the HP simulator had non-zero values there
resulting in unexpected huge numbers.
So mask the domain down to 8-bits for now.
A more general fix will be to check the table version
supplied by firmware and get paranoid about reserved fields.

Provide ACPI _PRT support for SN Altix systems.
The SN Altix platform does not conform to the
IOSAPIC IRQ routing model, so a new acpi_irq_model
(ACPI_IRQ_MODEL_PLATFORM) has been defined. The SN
platform specific code sets acpi_irq_model to

to avoid the iosapic code path.

Fernando Lopez-Lezcano reported frequent scheduling latencies and audio
xruns starting at the 2.6.18-rt kernel, and those problems persisted all
until current -rt kernels. The latencies were serious and unjustified by
system load, often in the milliseconds range.
After a patient and heroic multi-month effort of Fernando, where he
tested dozens of kernels, tried various configs, boot options,
test-patches of mine and provided latency traces of those incidents, the
following 'smoking gun' trace was captured by him:
_------=> CPU#
/ _-----=> irqs-off
| / _----=> need-resched
|| / _---=> hardirq/softirq
||| / _--=> preempt-depth

<...>-5856 0D..1 619us : trace_stop_sched_switched <<...>-5856> (37 0)
what is visible in this trace is that CPU#1 ran try_to_wake_up() for
PID:5856, it placed PID:5856 on CPU#0's runqueue and ran resched_task()
for CPU#0. But it decided to not send an IPI that no CPU - due to
TS_POLLING. But CPU#0 never woke up after its NEED_RESCHED bit was set,
and only rescheduled to PID:5856 upon the next lapic timer IRQ. The
result was a 600+ usecs latency and a missed wakeup!
the bug turned out to be an idle-wakeup bug introduced into the mainline
kernel this summer via an optimization in the x86_64 tree:
commit 495ab9c045
Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_status
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of
memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations
to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually
no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it
to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status.
the problem is this type of change:
if (!hlt_counter && boot_cpu_data.hlt_works_ok) {
- clear_thread_flag(TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG);
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
smp_mb__after_clear_bit();
while (!need_resched()) {
local_irq_disable();
this changes clear_thread_flag() to an explicit clearing of TS_POLLING.
clear_thread_flag() is defined as:
clear_bit(flag, &ti->flags);
and clear_bit() is a LOCK-ed atomic instruction on all x86 platforms:
static inline void clear_bit(int nr, volatile unsigned long * addr)
{
__asm__ __volatile__( LOCK_PREFIX
"btrl %1,%0"
hence smp_mb__after_clear_bit() is defined as a simple compile barrier:
#define smp_mb__after_clear_bit() barrier()
but the explicit TS_POLLING clearing introduced by the patch:
+ current_thread_info()->status &= ~TS_POLLING;
is not an atomic op! So the clearing of the TS_POLLING bit is freely
reorderable with the reading of the NEED_RESCHED bit - and both now
reside in different memory addresses.
CPU idle wakeup very much depends on ordered memory ops, the clearing of
the TS_POLLING flag must always be done before we test need_resched()
and hit the idle instruction(s). [Symmetrically, the wakeup code needs
to set NEED_RESCHED before it tests the TS_POLLING flag, so memory
ordering is paramount.]
Fernando's dual-core Athlon64 system has a sufficiently advanced memory
ordering model so that it triggered this scenario very often.
( And it also turned out that the reason why these latencies never
triggered on my testsystems is that i routinely use idle=poll, which
was the only idle variant not affected by this bug. )
The fix is to change the smp_mb__after_clear_bit() to an smp_mb(), to
act as an absolute barrier between the TS_POLLING write and the
NEED_RESCHED read. This affects almost all idling methods (default,
ACPI, APM), on all 3 x86 architectures: i386, x86_64, ia64.

Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive
8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on
slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and
changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break
number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle).
For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits,
kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled.

Improve the scalability of the fpswa code that rate-limits
logging of messages.
There are 2 distinctly different problems in this code.
1) If prctl is used to disable logging, last_time is never
updated. The result is that fpu_swa_count is zeroed out on
EVERY fp fault. This causes a very very hot cache line.
The fix reduces the wallclock time of a 1024p FP exception test
from 28734 sec to 19 sec!!!
2) On VERY large systems, excessive messages are logged because
multiple cpus can each reset or increment fpu_swa_count at
about the same time. The result is that hundreds of messages
are logged each second. The fixes reduces the logging rate
to ~1 per second.

There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine
the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing
users's to sepcify it.
The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on
most architectures is for the user to always specify the address.
Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined.
With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if
the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided.
This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.
The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.
Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c
This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.
