| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the frame pointer from the regs of the interrupted path to dump_trace() while processing the stack trace. Currently, dump_trace() takes the current bp and starts the callchain from dump_trace() itself. This is wasteful because we need to walk through the entire NMI/DEBUG stack before retrieving the interrupted point. We can fix that by just using the frame pointer from the captured regs. It points exactly where we want to start.

It's just wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU. As Rafael says: "... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply. That, in turn, results in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O devices are still suspended and so on). If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e755 microcode_resume_cpu() was called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was the right thing to do. The commit changed it so that the CPUs without microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite right. The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled differently."

But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

However, we need to register enough minors so that we have all possible CPUs. checkpatch warns on this patch, but the patch is correct: NR_CPUS here is a static *upper bound* on the *maximum CPU index* (not *number of CPUs!*) and that is what we want.

For such platforms, reduce contention on c3_lock by skipping the fake ARB_DISABLE. The cpu model id on one laptop is 14. If we disable ARB_DISABLE on this box, the box can't be booted correctly. But if we still enable ARB_DISABLE on this box, the box can be booted correctly. So we still use the ARB_DISABLE for the cpu which mode id is less than 0x0f. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14700 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Acked-by: Pallipadi, Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
