* x86: ignore VM_LOCKED when determining if hugetlb-backed page tables can be ↵Mel Gorman2009-05-291-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | shared or not Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302 On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this, page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including VM_LOCKED. The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what process is checking. What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix". This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed mapping.

| * x86, relocs: ignore R_386_NONE in kernel relocation entriesTejun Heo2009-05-251-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel. The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs. R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered error. When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section, binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail. The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right thing to do. The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value: "CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid] rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz." As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems, e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra: powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82 processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00) powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz) powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz) powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz) But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it correctly: #x86info -a |grep Pstate ... Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz) Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz) Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current) Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead of using rounded values from ACPI table.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change. Linux relies on this behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot. The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes to PSE and PGE. This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

* | x86: Remove remap percpu allocator for the time beingTejun Heo2009-05-251-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data corruption. Please read the following threads for more information: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783 The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu aliases. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157 However, the above changes are deemed too pervasive for upstream inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables the remap allocator for the time being.

At least one vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at 24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes. The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually needing the flags. This reverts all or part of the following checkins: cd670599b7b00d9263f6f11a05c0edeb9cbedaf3 c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455 However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround.

It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized spinlocks introduced by: | commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8 | Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700 | | paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7% (seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions executed). If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown). Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a no-pvops build as baseline: nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18% instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15% CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03% cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28% cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56% cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31% branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04% branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72% branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67% wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20% The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is directly reflected in the final wallclock time. (The other interesting effect is that the more ops are out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside, the branch misses go up correspondingly...) So, what's the fix? Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so _spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30 <_spin_lock+22>: retq The indirect call will get patched to: <_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax <_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax) <_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock> <_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */ <_spin_lock+22>: retq One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial. The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user). But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a reasonable short-term workaround.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After upgrading from gcc 4.2.2 to 4.4.0, the function graph tracer broke. Investigating, I found that in the asm that replaces the return value, gcc was using the same register for the old value as it was for the new value. mov (addr), old mov new, (addr) But if old and new are the same register, we clobber new with old! I first thought this was a bug in gcc 4.4.0 and reported it: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40132 Andrew Pinski responded (quickly), saying that it was correct gcc behavior and the code needed to denote old as an "early clobber". Instead of "=r"(old), we need "=&r"(old). [Impact: keep function graph tracer from breaking with gcc 4.4.0 ] Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
* | kgdb,i386: use address that SP register points to in the exception frameJason Wessel2009-05-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The treatment of the SP register is different on x86_64 and i386. This is a regression fix that lived outside the mainline kernel from 2.6.27 to now. The regression was a result of the original merge consolidation of the i386 and x86_64 archs to x86. The incorrectly reported SP on i386 prevented stack tracebacks from working correctly in gdb.

Refering to: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13265 This patch fixes the BUG via replacing global variable reference: kexec_image in machine_kexec() with local variable reference: image, which is more appropriate, and will not be null.

This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >= 2.7).
