The spin_lock_debug/rcu_cpu_stall detector uses
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() to dump cpu backtrace.
Therefore it is possible that trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
could be called at the same time on different CPUs, which
triggers and 'unknown reason NMI' warning. The following case
illustrates the problem:
CPU1 CPU2 ... CPU N
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace()
set "backtrace_mask" to cpu mask
|
generate NMI interrupts generate NMI interrupts ...
\ | /
\ | /
The "backtrace_mask" will be cleaned by the first NMI interrupt
at nmi_watchdog_tick(), then the following NMI interrupts
generated by other cpus's arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() will
be taken as unknown reason NMI interrupts.
This patch uses a test_and_set to avoid the problem, and stop
the arch_trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() from calling to avoid
dumping a double cpu backtrace info when there is already a
trigger_all_cpu_backtrace() in progress.

Found one x2apic pre-enabled system, x2apic_mode suddenly get
corrupted after register some cpus, when compiled
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=255 instead of 512.
It turns out that generic_processor_info() ==> phyid_set(apicid,
phys_cpu_present_map) causes the problem.
phys_cpu_present_map is sized by MAX_APICS bits, and pre-enabled
system some cpus have an apic id > 255.
The variable after phys_cpu_present_map may get corrupted
silently:
ffffffff828e8420 B phys_cpu_present_map
ffffffff828e8440 B apic_verbosity
ffffffff828e8444 B local_apic_timer_c2_ok
ffffffff828e8448 B disable_apic
ffffffff828e844c B x2apic_mode
ffffffff828e8450 B x2apic_disabled
ffffffff828e8454 B num_processors
...
Actually phys_cpu_present_map is referenced via apic id, instead
index. We should use MAX_LOCAL_APIC instead MAX_APICS.
For 64-bit it will be 32768 in all cases. BSS will increase by 4k bytes
on 64-bit:
text data bss dec filename
21696943 4193748 12787712 38678403 vmlinux.before
21696943 4193748 12791808 38682499 vmlinux.after
No change on 32bit.
Finally we can remove MAX_APCIS that was rather confusing.

}
if (mc)
vfree(mc);
This will cause a double free of 'mc'. This patch fixes that by
just removing the vfree() call in the loop since 'mc' will be
freed nicely just after we break out of the loop.
There's also a second change in the patch. I noticed a lot of
checks for pointers being NULL before passing them to vfree().
That's completely redundant since vfree() deals gracefully with
being passed a NULL pointer. Removing the redundant checks
yields a nice size decrease for the object file.

The x86 arch has shifted its use of the nmi_watchdog from a
local implementation to the global one provide by
kernel/watchdog.c. This shift has caused a whole bunch of
compile problems under different config options. I attempt to
simplify things with the patch below.
In order to simplify things, I had to come to terms with the
meaning of two terms ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG and
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. Basically they mean the same thing,
the former on a local level and the latter on a global level.
With the old x86 nmi watchdog gone, there is no need to rely on
defining the ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG variable because it doesn't
make sense any more. x86 will now use the global
implementation.
The changes below do a few things. First it changes the few
places that relied on ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG to use
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC (the former was an alias for the latter
anyway, so nothing unusual here). Those pieces of code were
relying more on local apic functionality the nmi watchdog
functionality, so the change should make sense.
Second, I removed the x86 implementation of
touch_nmi_watchdog(). It isn't need now, instead x86 will rely
on kernel/watchdog.c's implementation.
Third, I removed the #define ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG itself from
x86. And tweaked the include/linux/nmi.h file to tell users to
look for an externally defined touch_nmi_watchdog in the case of
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _or_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. This
changes removes some of the ugliness in that file.
Finally, I added a Kconfig dependency for
CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR that said you can't have
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG _and_ CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR. You can
only have one nmi_watchdog.
Tested with
ARCH=i386: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig, (various broken
configs) ARCH=x86_64: allnoconfig, defconfig, allyesconfig,
(various broken configs)
Hopefully, after this patch I won't get any more compile broken
emails. :-)
v3:
changed a couple of 'linux/nmi.h' -> 'asm/nmi.h' to pick-up correct function
prototypes when CONFIG_HARDLOCKUP_DETECTOR is not set.

When we allocate address space, e.g., to assign it to a PCI device, don't
allocate anything mentioned in the BIOS E820 memory map.
On recent machines (2008 and newer), we assign PCI resources from the
windows described by the ACPI PCI host bridge _CRS. On many Dell
machines, these windows overlap some E820 reserved areas, e.g.,
BIOS-e820: 00000000bfe4dc00 - 00000000c0000000 (reserved)
pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [mem 0xbff00000-0xdfffffff]
If we put devices at 0xbff00000, they don't work, probably because
that's really RAM, not I/O memory. This patch prevents that by removing
the 0xbfe4dc00-0xbfffffff area from the "available" resource.
I'm not very happy with this solution because Windows solves the problem
differently (it seems to ignore E820 reserved areas and it allocates
top-down instead of bottom-up; details at comment 45 of the bugzilla
below). That means we're vulnerable to BIOS defects that Windows would not
trip over. For example, if BIOS described a device in ACPI but didn't
mention it in E820, Windows would work fine but Linux would fail.

This implements arch_remove_reservations() so allocate_resource() can
avoid any arch-specific reserved areas. This currently just avoids the
BIOS area (the first 1MB), but could be used for E820 reserved areas if
that turns out to be necessary.
We previously avoided this area in pcibios_align_resource(). This patch
moves the test from that PCI-specific path to a generic path, so *all*
resource allocations will avoid this area.

Some BIOSes use PMU resources, which can cause various bugs:
- Non-working or erratic PMU based statistics - the PMU can end up
counting the wrong thing, resulting in misleading statistics
- Profiling can stop working or it can profile the wrong thing
- A non-working or erratic NMI watchdog that cannot be relied on
- The kernel may disturb whatever thing the BIOS tries to use the
PMU for - possibly causing hardware malfunction in extreme cases.
- ... and other forms of potential misbehavior
Various forms of such misbehavior has been observed in practice - there are
BIOSes that just corrupt the PMU state, consequences be damned.
The PMU is a CPU resource that is handled by the kernel and the BIOS
stealing+corrupting it is not acceptable nor robust, so we detect it,
warn about it and further refuse to touch the PMU ourselves.

Two x86 patches broke lguest:
1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator.
In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which
used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With
the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory:
Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000
After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000
I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so
the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then...
2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table.
This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by
lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize
it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that
fixes the previous damage as well.
For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but
next merge window I will merge them.

To: x86@kernel.org
lguest is dumb and drops *all* the pagetables for set_pte (which is
only used for kernel mapping manipulation, so it's OK without highmem).
But it's used a lot in boot, too. As a guest optimization, we
suppressed this flushing until the first page switch. Now we have
initial_page_table, that happens much earlier, so extend the heuristic
to wait until we switch to something other than the swapper_pg_dir or
initial_page_table.
As measured on my laptop under kvm, this dropped the time-to-mount-root

Interrupt-remapping gets enabled very early in the boot, as it determines the
apic mode that the processor can use. And the current code enables the vt-d
fault handling before the setup_local_APIC(). And hence the APIC LDR registers
and data structure in the memory may not be initialized. So the vt-d fault
handling in logical xapic/x2apic modes were broken.
Fix this by enabling the vt-d fault handling in the end_local_APIC_setup()
A cleaner fix of enabling fault handling while enabling intr-remapping
will be addressed for v2.6.38. [ Enabling intr-remapping determines the
usage of x2apic mode and the apic mode determines the fault-handling
configuration. ]

In x2apic mode, we need to set the upper address register of the fault
handling interrupt register of the vt-d hardware. Without this
irq migration of the vt-d fault handling interrupt is broken.

Alignment of alloc_bootmem() depends on the value of
L1_CACHE_SHIFT. What we need here, however, is 64 byte alignment. Use
alloc_bootmem_align() and explicitly specify the alignment instead.
This fixes a kernel boot crash reported by Jody when the cpu in .config
is set to MPENTIUMII but the kernel is booted on a xsave-capable CPU.

The vdso Makefile passes linker-style -m options not to the linker but
to gcc. This happens to work with earlier gcc, but fails with gcc
4.6. Pass gcc-style -m options, instead.
Note: all currently supported versions of gcc supports -m32, so there
is no reason to conditionalize it any more.

When adjusting the code to handle removing the old nmi watchdog,
I forgot to consider the compile case when the local apic is not
enabled.
This change fixes the following build error:

commit 995bd3bb5 (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty)
chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the
confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is
delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed
readback problems.
After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer
AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further
information.
Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum
HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of
course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks.
For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for
the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns
value for the HPET clockevent accordingly.
