17 years ago[PATCH] i386: Add missing !X86_PAE dependincy to the 2G/2G split.
Bill Irwin [Wed, 2 May 2007 17:27:22 +0000 (19:27 +0200)]
[PATCH] i386: Add missing !X86_PAE dependincy to the 2G/2G split.

Only 1GB-aligned kernel/user splits are now handled for PAE. The
2GB/2GB split attempts to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with the 1:1
mapping for physical memory by using an actual split of 1.875/2.125
to accommodate 128MB of vmallocspace out of what would otherwise
be a full 2GB for userspace. That attempt disturbs the alignment
required by PAE for 2GB/2GB splits, and furthermore does not provide
a 2GB/2GB split as advertised.

This patch resolves the issues here in two manners. The first is
by providing a true 2GB/2GB split in addition to the 1.875/2.125
split. The second is by renaming the 1.875/2.125 split to
CONFIG_VMSPLIT_2G_OPT analogously to CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G_OPT, which
performs a similar manuever to avoid aliasing vmallocspace with
the 1:1 mapping for physical memory around the 3GB boundary. With
the 1.875/2.125 split properly-named, its config option is then
tagged as depending on !HIGHMEM to express the PAE implementation's
current inability to deal with such unaligned splits.

This patch is essentially a combination of two patches, one written
by Eric Biederman and the other by Eric Dumazet. If they could add
their Signed-off-by: to this, I'd be much obliged.

17 years ago[PATCH] x86-64: Dynamically adjust machine check interval
Tim Hockin [Wed, 2 May 2007 17:27:19 +0000 (19:27 +0200)]
[PATCH] x86-64: Dynamically adjust machine check interval

Background:
 We've found that MCEs (specifically DRAM SBEs) tend to come in bunches,
 especially when we are trying really hard to stress the system out.  The
 current MCE poller uses a static interval which does not care whether it
 has or has not found MCEs recently.

Description:
 This patch makes the MCE poller adjust the polling interval dynamically.
 If we find an MCE, poll 2x faster (down to 10 ms).  When we stop finding
 MCEs, poll 2x slower (up to check_interval seconds).  The check_interval
 tunable becomes the max polling interval.  The "Machine check events
 logged" printk() is rate limited to the check_interval, which should be
 identical behavior to the old functionality.

Result:
 If you start to take a lot of correctable errors (not exceptions), you
 log them faster and more accurately (less chance of overflowing the MCA
 registers).  If you don't take a lot of errors, you will see no change.

Alternatives:
 I considered simply reducing the polling interval to 10 ms immediately
 and keeping it there as long as we continue to find errors.  This felt a
 bit heavy handed, but does perform significantly better for the default
 check_interval of 5 minutes (we're using a few seconds when testing for
 DRAM errors).  I could be convinced to go with this, if anyone felt it
 was not too aggressive.

Testing:
 I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors
 and verified that the polling interval accelerates.  The printk() only
 happens once per check_interval seconds.

Patch:
 This patch is against 2.6.21-rc7.

no cross-processor A/D bit races involved, we need not use the heavyweight
xchg instruction to atomically fetch and clear page table entries.  Instead,
we can just read and clear them directly.

This introduces a neat optimization for non-SMP kernels; drop the atomic xchg
operations from page table updates.

Thanks to Michel Lespinasse for noting this potential optimization.

[PATCH] i386: pte clear optimization

When exiting from an address space, no special hypervisor notification of page
table updates needs to occur; direct page table hypervisors, such as Xen,
switch to another address space first (init_mm) and unprotects the page tables
to avoid the cost of trapping to the hypervisor for each pte_clear.  Shadow
mode hypervisors, such as VMI and lhype don't need to do the extra work of
calling through paravirt-ops, and can just directly clear the page table
entries without notifiying the hypervisor, since all the page tables are about
to be freed.

So introduce native_pte_clear functions which bypass any paravirt-ops
notification.  This results in a significant performance win for VMI and
removes some indirect calls from zap_pte_range.

Note the 3-level paging already had a native_pte_clear function, thus
demanding argument conformance and extra args for the 2-level definition.

we are running on an AMD64/K8 system, the boot CPU must have had
MtrrFixDramEn and MtrrFixDramModEn set (otherwise our RDMSR would
have copied these bits cleared), so we set them on this CPU as well.

This allows us to keep the AMD64/K8 RdMem and WrMem bits in sync
across the CPUs of SMP systems in order to fullfill the duty of
system software to "initialize and maintain MTRR consistency
across all processors." as written in the AMD and Intel manuals.

If an WRMSR instruction fails because MtrrFixDramModEn is not

SMIs which cause that Linux is interrupted and BIOS code is
executed (which may change e.g. fixed-range MTRRs) in SMM may
be raised by an embedded system controller which is often found
in notebooks also at other occasions.

If we would not update our copy of the fixed-range MTRRs before
suspending to RAM or to disk, restore_processor_state() would
set the fixed-range MTRRs of the BSP using old backup values
which may be outdated and this could cause the system to fail
later during resume.

This patch ensures that our copy of the fixed-range MTRRs
is updated when saving the boot processor state on suspend
to disk and suspend to RAM.

In combination with other patches this allows to fix s2ram
and s2disk on the Acer Ferrari 1000 notebook and at least
s2disk on the Acer Ferrari 5000 notebook.

17 years ago[PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before booting an AP
Bernhard Kaindl [Wed, 2 May 2007 17:27:17 +0000 (19:27 +0200)]
[PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before booting an AP

Applied fix by Andew Morton:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'.

AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of
system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across
all processors in Multi-Processing Environments.

Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2):

7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments

"In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must
characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical
values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here)
"Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity.
Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors
to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to
initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors."

Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the
BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors,
but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed
after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary
processor, is not handled yet.

In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux
with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init()
did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the
time when that secondary processors is actually booted,
causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors.

Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the
BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs
of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode.
The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI
code runs acpi_enable().

Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in
the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary
processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses
at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot
processor before new secondary processors are started. When the
secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their
fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs.

If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state
as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.

Possible TODOs:

*) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested
   with this patch.

*) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up,
   then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to
   mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and  mtrr_save_state() would not be
   needed.

   That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or
   at least a test on a >2 CPU machine.

*) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this
   time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all
   processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch,
   but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so
   far which would require this.

In this current implementation which is used in other patches,

which is the element of the static struct which stores our current

using.

Because  mtrr_save_fixed_ranges calls get_fixed_ranges after
kernel initialisation time, __init needs to be removed from
the declaration of get_fixed_ranges().

head.S creates the very initial pagetable for the kernel.  This just

The amount of mapped memory is rounded up to 4Mbytes, and so this
typically ends up mapping 8Mbytes of memory.

When booting, pagetable_init() needs to create mappings for all
lowmem, and the pagetables for these mappings are allocated from the
free pages around the kernel in low memory.  If the number of
pagetable pages + kernel size exceeds head.S's initial mapping, it
will end up faulting on an unmapped page.  This will only happen with
specific combinations of kernel size and memory size.

This patch makes sure that head.S also maps enough space to fit the
kernel pagetables as well as the kernel itself.  It ends up using an
additional two pages of unreclaimable memory.

[PATCH] i386: Convert PDA into the percpu section

Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure
called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via
the %fs register.  An ELF section is more flexible than a structure,
allowing any piece of code to use this area.  Indeed, such a section
already exists: the per-cpu area.

So this patch:
(1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member.
(2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU.
(3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which
    can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables.
(4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a
    special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first
    percpu area is allocated (or never for UP).

The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept.

[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: drop unused ptep_get_and_clear

In shadow mode hypervisors, ptep_get_and_clear achieves the desired
purpose of keeping the shadows in sync by issuing a native_get_and_clear,
followed by a call to pte_update, which indicates the PTE has been
modified.

Direct mode hypervisors (Xen) have no need for this anyway, and will trap
the update using writable pagetables.

This means no hypervisor makes use of ptep_get_and_clear; there is no
reason to have it in the paravirt-ops structure.  Change confusing
terminology about raw vs. native functions into consistent use of
native_pte_xxx for operations which do not invoke paravirt-ops.

simple rules:

 - if the paravirt_op function is paravirt_nop, then patch nops

paravirt_patch_default is suitable as a default implementation of
paravirt_ops.patch, will remove most of the expensive indirect calls
in favour of either a direct call or a pile of nops.

Backends may implement their own patcher, however.  There are several
helper functions to help with this:

paravirt_patch_nop nop out a callsite
paravirt_patch_ignore leave the callsite as-is
paravirt_patch_call patch a call if the caller and callee
have compatible clobbers
paravirt_patch_jmp patch in a jmp
paravirt_patch_insns patch some literal instructions over
the callsite, if they fit

Jeremy Fitzhardinge [Wed, 2 May 2007 17:27:13 +0000 (19:27 +0200)]
[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: Allow paravirt backend to choose kernel PMD sharing

Normally when running in PAE mode, the 4th PMD maps the kernel address space,
which can be shared among all processes (since they all need the same kernel
mappings).

Xen, however, does not allow guests to have the kernel pmd shared between page
tables, so parameterize pgtable.c to allow both modes of operation.

There are several side-effects of this.  One is that vmalloc will update the
kernel address space mappings, and those updates need to be propagated into
all processes if the kernel mappings are not intrinsically shared.  In the
non-PAE case, this is done by maintaining a pgd_list of all processes; this
list is used when all process pagetables must be updated.  pgd_list is
threaded via otherwise unused entries in the page structure for the pgd, which
means that the pgd must be page-sized for this to work.

Normally the PAE pgd is only 4x64 byte entries large, but Xen requires the PAE
pgd to page aligned anyway, so this patch forces the pgd to be page
aligned+sized when the kernel pmd is unshared, to accomodate both these
requirements.

Also, since there may be several distinct kernel pmds (if the user/kernel
split is below 3G), there's no point in allocating them from a slab cache;
they're just allocated with get_free_page and initialized appropriately.  (Of
course the could be cached if there is just a single kernel pmd - which is the
default with a 3G user/kernel split - but it doesn't seem worthwhile to add
yet another case into this code).

Jeremy Fitzhardinge [Wed, 2 May 2007 17:27:13 +0000 (19:27 +0200)]
[PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: Hooks to set up initial pagetable

This patch introduces paravirt_ops hooks to control how the kernel's
initial pagetable is set up.

In the case of a native boot, the very early bootstrap code creates a
simple non-PAE pagetable to map the kernel and physical memory.  When
the VM subsystem is initialized, it creates a proper pagetable which
respects the PAE mode, large pages, etc.

When booting under a hypervisor, there are many possibilities for what
paging environment the hypervisor establishes for the guest kernel, so
the constructon of the kernel's pagetable depends on the hypervisor.

In the case of Xen, the hypervisor boots the kernel with a fully
constructed pagetable, which is already using PAE if necessary.  Also,
Xen requires particular care when constructing pagetables to make sure
all pagetables are always mapped read-only.

In order to make this easier, kernel's initial pagetable construction
has been changed to only allocate and initialize a pagetable page if
there's no page already present in the pagetable.  This allows the Xen
paravirt backend to make a copy of the hypervisor-provided pagetable,
allowing the kernel to establish any more mappings it needs while
keeping the existing ones.

A slightly subtle point which is worth highlighting here is that Xen
requires all kernel mappings to share the same pte_t pages between all
pagetables, so that updating a kernel page's mapping in one pagetable
is reflected in all other pagetables.  This makes it possible to
allocate a page and attach it to a pagetable without having to
explicitly enumerate that page's mapping in all pagetables.

And:

+From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com>

If we don't set the leaf page table entries it is quite possible that
will inherit and incorrect page table entry from the initial boot
page table setup in head.S.  So we need to redo the effort here,
so we pick up PSE, PGE and the like.

Hypervisors like Xen require that their page tables be read-only,
which is slightly incompatible with our low identity mappings, however
I discussed this with Jeremy he has modified the Xen early set_pte
