* [PATCH] i386/x86-64 disable LAPIC completely for offline CPUShaohua Li2005-12-131-2/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Disabling LAPIC timer isn't sufficient. In some situations, such as we enabled NMI watchdog, there is still unexpected interrupt (such as NMI) invoked in offline CPU. This also avoids offline CPU receives spurious interrupt and anything similar.

* [PATCH] kprobes: increment kprobe missed count for multiprobesKeshavamurthy Anil S2005-12-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple probes are registered at the same address and if due to some recursion (probe getting triggered within a probe handler), we skip calling pre_handlers and just increment nmissed field. The below patch make sure it walks the list for multiple probes case. Without the below patch we get incorrect results of nmissed count for multiple probe case.

* [PATCH] x86: fix NMI with CPU hotplugShaohua Li2005-12-121-7/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | With CPU hotplug enabled, NMI watchdog stoped working. It appears the violation is the cpu_online check in nmi handler. local ACPI based NMI watchdog is initialized before we set CPU online for APs. It's quite possible a NMI is fired before we set CPU online, and that's what happens here.

* [PATCH] kprobes: Fix return probes on sys_execveJim Keniston2005-11-241-7/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a bug in kprobes that can cause an Oops or even a crash when a return probe is installed on one of the following functions: sys_execve, do_execve, load_*_binary, flush_old_exec, or flush_thread. The fix is to remove the call to kprobe_flush_task() in flush_thread(). This fix has been tested on all architectures for which the return-probes feature has been implemented (i386, x86_64, ppc64, ia64). Please apply. BACKGROUND Up to now, we have called kprobe_flush_task() under two situations: when a task exits, and when it execs. Flushing kretprobe_instances on exit is correct because (a) do_exit() doesn't return, and (b) one or more return-probed functions may be active when a task calls do_exit(). Neither is the case for sys_execve() and its callees. Initially, the mistaken call to kprobe_flush_task() on exec was harmless because we put the "real" return address of each active probed function back in the stack, just to be safe, when we recycled its kretprobe_instance. When support for ppc64 and ia64 was added, this safety measure couldn't be employed, and was eventually dropped even for i386 and x86_64. sys_execve() and its callees were informally blacklisted for return probes until this fix was developed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We should zap the low mappings, as soon as possible, so that we can catch kernel bugs more effectively. Previously early boot had NULL mapped and didn't trap on NULL references. This patch introduces boot_level4_pgt, which will always have low identity addresses mapped. Druing boot, all the processors will use this as their level4 pgt. On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter C code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of identity low mapped addresses. On AP's we will zap the low mappings as soon as we jump to C code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | interrupt sources Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI. It is meant for a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc. The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540. This is much bigger than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64). Also, there aren't enough vectors to go around. There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F. So, my patch attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5546 The cpu_khz global is not initialized and remains 0 if you boot with clock=pit, even if the processor does have a TSC. This may have bad ramifications since the variable is used in various places scattered around the kernel, though I didn't check them all to see if they can tolerate cpu_khz = 0. You can observe the problem by doing "cat /proc/cpuinfo"; the cpu MHz line says 0.000. The fix is trivial; call init_cpu_khz() from init_pit(), just as it's called from the timers/timer_foo.c:init_foo() for other values of foo.

* | [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle reworkNick Piggin2005-11-092-37/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

* | [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin2005-11-092-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Run idle threads with preempt disabled. Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()). How did it ever work before? Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted. We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined. After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead. By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

We currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock. With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on multiple processors. All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64 has been compile tested only. The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks: patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler execution.

As a result, BIOS ends up bombarded with interrupts early on boot. The BIOS does not expect it since following a "normal" hardware cpu reset, all APIC LVT registers have the Mask bit (16) set and can't generate interrupts. For example, the version of Phoenix BIOS used by VMware enables interrupts for the first time before masking/clearing APIC LVT. The APIC Timer LVT register is still set up for a timer interrupt delivery with a high vector from the previous Linux incarnation (0xef in our case). The BIOS has not fully initialized its IDT at this point and the real mode gate for 0xef remains all zeros. Vector 0xef dispatches BIOS to address 0:0, BIOS takes a #GP and eventually hangs. machine_shutdown() does attempt to shut down APIC before jumping to BIOS, but it is ineffective" Signed-off-by: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: "Seth, Rohit" <rohit.seth@intel.com> Cc: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Cc: "Eric W.

The problem is that a process switch return causes tss->io_bitmap_base to be set to IO_BITMAP_OFFSET so that the fault (that *really* sets the io bitmap) never triggers. This fixes that regression.

* | [PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau2005-10-315-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reads from an HPET register require a round trip to the south bridge and are almost as slow as PCI reads. By caching the last value we've written to the comparator register, we can eliminate all HPET reads from the fast path in the emulated RTC interrupt handler.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure that the RTC timer is in non-periodic mode; some stupid BIOS might have initialized it to periodic mode. Furthermore, don't set the SETVAL bit in the config register. This wouldn't have any effect unless the timer was in period mode (which it isn't), and then the actual timer frequency would be half that of the desired one because incrementing the comparator in the interrupt handler would be done after the hardware has already incremented it itself.
