CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel
text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different
attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc).
On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data
boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the
RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes
for the 2MB page boundaries
Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot
and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to
the kernel text mappings.
Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller
pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data
mappings.

In the first 2MB, kernel text is co-located with kernel static
page tables setup by head_64.S. CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops this
2MB large page mapping to small 4KB pages as we mark the kernel text as RO,
leaving the static page tables as RW.
With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA disabled, OLTP run on NHM-EP shows 1% improvement
with 2% reduction in system time and 1% improvement in iowait idle time.
To recover this, move the kernel static page tables to .data section, so that
we don't have to break the first 2MB of kernel text to small pages with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.
acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.
acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we
need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually
registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts:
detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the
physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated
nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are
registered as normal.
Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and
`k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected;
both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA
emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists
and which interface to use.
This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into
Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI
changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here,
however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next
patch.
This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical
nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented.
k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology
of the machine for NUMA emulation.

As reported in
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940
on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some
devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for
them. It then apparently hits some undocumented resource conflict,
resulting in non-working devices.
Try to increase alignment to get more safe range for unassigned devices.

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a
problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also
reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using
iwlagn.
It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get
checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic
timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other
wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible.
The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer
interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that:
1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less
2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because
the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up.
I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the
original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported
success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec
range.

Make decoding of MCEs happen only on AMD hardware by registering a
non-default callback only on CPU families which support it.
While looking at the interaction of decode_mce() with the other MCE
code i also noticed a few other things and made the following
cleanups/fixes:
- Fixed the mce_decode() weak alias - a weak alias is really not
good here, it should be a proper callback. A weak alias will be
overriden if a piece of code is built into the kernel - not
good, obviously.
- The patch initializes the callback on AMD family 10h and 11h.
- Added the more correct fallback printk of:
No support for human readable MCE decoding on this CPU type.
Transcribe the message and run it through 'mcelog --ascii' to decode.
On CPUs that dont have a decoder.
- Made the surrounding code more readable.
Note that the callback allows us to have a default fallback -
without having to check the CPU versions during the printout
itself. When an EDAC module registers itself, it can install the
decode-print function.
(there's no unregister needed as this is core code.)
version -v2 by Borislav Petkov:

introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel

If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel
argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument
and not as "serial" and then "ttyS".
Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS
directly without the "serial" argument.

This gets kind of ridiculous on huge systems; for example, on a

$ dmesg | grep 'TSC is reliable' | wc

There's no point to doing this for every CPU, since the code is
just checking the boot CPU anyway, so change this to a

The 32-bit ptrace syscall on a 64-bit kernel (32-bit debugger on
32-bit task) behaves differently than a native 32-bit kernel. When
setting a register state of orig_eax>=0 and eax=-ERESTART* when the
debugged task is NOT on its way out of a 32-bit syscall, the task will
fail to do the syscall restart logic that it should do.
Test case available at http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/erestartsys-trap.c?cvsroot=systemtap
This happens because the 32-bit ptrace syscall sets eax=0xffffffff
when it sets orig_eax>=0. The resuming task will not sign-extend this
for the -ERESTART* check because TS_COMPAT is not set. (So the task
thinks it is restarting after a 64-bit syscall, not a 32-bit one.)
The fix is to have 32-bit ptrace calls set TS_COMPAT when setting
orig_eax>=0. This ensures that the 32-bit syscall restart logic
will apply when the child resumes.

If TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE or TIF_SINGLESTEP is set while inside a syscall,
the path back to user mode should get to syscall_trace_leave.
This does happen in most circumstances. The exception to this is on
the 64-bit syscall fastpath, when no such flag was set on syscall
entry and nothing else has punted it off the fastpath for exit. That
one exit fastpath fails to check for _TIF_WORK_SYSCALL_EXIT flags.
This makes the behavior inconsistent with what 32-bit tasks see and
what the native 32-bit kernel always does, and what 64-bit tasks see
in all cases where the iret path is taken anyhow.
Perhaps the only example that is affected is a ptrace stop inside
do_fork (for PTRACE_O_TRACE{CLONE,FORK,VFORK,VFORKDONE}). Other
syscalls with internal ptrace stop points (execve) already take the
iret exit path for unrelated reasons.
Test cases for both PTRACE_SYSCALL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP variants are at:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/syscall-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtaphttp://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/step-from-clone.c?cvsroot=systemtap
There was no special benefit to the sysret path's special path to call
do_notify_resume, because it always takes the iret exit path at the end.
So this change just makes the sysret exit path join the iret exit path
for all the signals and ptrace cases. The fastpath still applies to
the plain syscall-audit and resched cases.

Current raise_local() uses a struct mce that comes from mce_write()
as a parameter instead of the real inject-msg, so when we set
mce.finished = 0 to clear injected MCE, the real inject stays
valid.
This will cause the remaining inject-msg affect the next injection,
which is not desired.
To fix this, real inject-msg is used in raise_local instead of the
one on the stack.
This patch is based on the diagnosis and the fixes by Dean Nelson.

If a system switches back and forth between hot and cold mode,
the MCE code will print a stream of critical kernel messages.
Extend the throttling code to properly notice this, by
only printing the first hot + cold transition and omitting
the rest up to CHECK_INTERVAL (5 minutes).
This way we'll only get a single incident of:
[ 102.356584] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 1)
[ 102.357000] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
[ 102.369223] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal
Every 5 minutes. The 'total events' count tells the number of cold/hot
transitions detected, should overheating occur after 5 minutes again:
[ 402.357580] CPU0: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled (total events = 24891)
[ 402.358001] CPU0: Temperature/speed normal
[ 450.704142] Machine check events logged

Instead of a mess of three separate percpu variables, consolidate
the state into a single structure.
Also clean up therm_throt_process(), use cleaner and more
understandable variable names and a clearer logic.
This, without changing the logic, makes the code more
streamlined, more readable and smaller as well:
text data bss dec hex filename
1487 169 4 1660 67c therm_throt.o.before
1432 176 4 1612 64c therm_throt.o.after

Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual
addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense
when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill
further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all
cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full
available range.
Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on
code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I
know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

Sizing of memory allocations shouldn't depend on the number of physical
pages found in a system, as that generally includes (perhaps a huge amount
of) non-RAM pages. The amount of what actually is usable as storage
should instead be used as a basis here.
Some of the calculations (i.e. those not intending to use high memory)
should likely even use (totalram_pages - totalhigh_pages).
