8a336b0a4b [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.

141a892f57 [PATCH] x86-64: move __vgetcpu_mode & __jiffies to the vsyscall_2 zone
We apparently hit the 1024 limit of vsyscall_0 zone when some debugging
options are set, or if __vsyscall_gtod_data is 64 bytes larger.

In order to save 128 bytes from the vsyscall_0 zone, we move __vgetcpu_mode
& __jiffies to vsyscall_2 zone where they really belong, since they are
used only from vgetcpu() (which is in this vsyscall_2 area).

After patch is applied, new layout is :

ffffffffff600000 T vgettimeofday
ffffffffff60004e t vsysc2
ffffffffff600140 t vread_hpet
ffffffffff600150 t vread_tsc

8339e9fba3 [PATCH] x86-64: safe_apic_wait_icr_idle - x86_64
apic_wait_icr_idle looks like this:

static __inline__ void apic_wait_icr_idle(void)
{
  while (apic_read(APIC_ICR) & APIC_ICR_BUSY)
    cpu_relax();
}

The busy loop in this function would not be problematic if the
corresponding status bit in the ICR were always updated, but that does
not seem to be the case under certain crash scenarios. Kdump uses an IPI
to stop the other CPUs in the event of a crash, but when any of the
other CPUs are locked-up inside the NMI handler the CPU that sends the
IPI will end up looping forever in the ICR check, effectively
hard-locking the whole system.

Quoting from Intel's "MultiProcessor Specification" (Version 1.4), B-3:

"A local APIC unit indicates successful dispatch of an IPI by
resetting the Delivery Status bit in the Interrupt Command
Register (ICR). The operating system polls the delivery status
bit after sending an INIT or STARTUP IPI until the command has
been dispatched.

A period of 20 microseconds should be sufficient for IPI dispatch
to complete under normal operating conditions. If the IPI is not
successfully dispatched, the operating system can abort the
command. Alternatively, the operating system can retry the IPI by
writing the lower 32-bit double word of the ICR. This “time-out”
mechanism can be implemented through an external interrupt, if
interrupts are enabled on the processor, or through execution of
an instruction or time-stamp counter spin loop."

Intel's documentation suggests the implementation of a time-out
mechanism, which, by the way, is already being open-coded in some parts
of the kernel that tinker with ICR.

Create a apic_wait_icr_idle replacement that implements the time-out
mechanism and that can be used to solve the aforementioned problem.

de938c51d5 [PATCH] i386: Enable support for fixed-range IORRs to keep RdMem & WrMem in sync
If our copy of the MTRRs of the BSP has RdMem or WrMem set, and
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
set, I expect that also the Intel-style MTRR bits are not updated.

AK: minor cleanup, moved MSR defines around

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.

2b1f6278d7 [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.

2b3b4835c9 [PATCH] x86: Adds mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() for use in two later patches.
In this current implementation which is used in other patches,
mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() accepts a dummy void pointer because
in the current implementation of one of these patches, this
function may be called from smp_call_function_single() which
requires that this function takes a void pointer argument.

This function calls get_fixed_ranges(), passing mtrr_state.fixed_ranges
which is the element of the static struct which stores our current
backup of the fixed-range MTRR values which all CPUs shall be
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().

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

03df4f6ee9 [PATCH] i386: Clean up ELF note generation
Three cleanups:

1: ELF notes are never mapped, so there's no need to have any access
flags in their phdr.

2: When generating them from asm, tell the assembler to use a SHT_NOTE
section type.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this from C.

3: Use ANSI rather than traditional cpp behaviour to stringify the
macro argument.

e0bb864397 [PATCH] i386: Convert VMI timer to use clock events
Convert VMI timer to use clock events, making it properly able to use the NO_HZ
infrastructure.  On UP systems, with no local APIC, we just continue to route
these events through the PIT.  On systems with a local APIC, or SMP, we provide
a single source interrupt chip which creates the local timer IRQ.  It actually
gets delivered by the APIC hardware, but we don't want to use the same local
APIC clocksource processing, so we create our own handler here.

Implement vmi_kmap_atomic_pte in terms of the backend set_linear_mapping

The _flush_tlb damage is due to macros being pulled in from highmem.h.

No, just no.  You do not use goto to skip a code block.  You do not
return an obvious variable from a singly-inlined function and give
the function a return value.  You don't put unexplained comments
about kmalloc in code which doesn't do dynamic allocation.  And
you don't leave stray warnings around for no good reason.

Also, when possible, it is better to use block scoped variables
because gcc can sometime generate better code.
