193f3fcb3a x86: Add cpu_has_topoext
Introduce cpu_has_topoext to check for AMD's CPUID topology extensions
support. It indicates support for
CPUID Fn8000_001D_EAX_x[N:0]-CPUID Fn8000_001E_EDX

See AMD's CPUID Specification, Publication # 25481
(as of Rev. 2.34 September 2010)

816afe4ff9 x86/smp: Don't ever patch back to UP if we unplug cpus
We still patch SMP instructions to UP variants if we boot with a
single CPU, but not at any other time.  In particular, not if we
unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu.

Paul McKenney points out:

 mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds.

 If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline
 path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds

Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the
code is pretty messy.

We get rid of:

 1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the
    documentation is wrong. It's now the default.

 2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend.

 3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end()
    which were only used to set this one flag.

0816b0f036 x86: Add read_mostly declaration/definition to variables from smp.h
Add "read-mostly" qualifier to the following variables in
smp.h:

 - cpu_sibling_map
 - cpu_core_map
 - cpu_llc_shared_map
 - cpu_llc_id
 - cpu_number
 - x86_cpu_to_apicid
 - x86_bios_cpu_apicid
 - x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid

As long as all the variables above are only written during the
initialization, this change is meant to prevent the false
sharing. More specifically, on vSMP Foundation platform
x86_cpu_to_apicid shared the same internode_cache_line with
frequently written lapic_events.

From the analysis of the first 33 per_cpu variables out of 219
(memories they describe, to be more specific) the 8 have read_mostly
nature (tlb_vector_offset, cpu_loops_per_jiffy, xen_debug_irq, etc.)
and 25 are frequently written (irq_stack_union, gdt_page,
exception_stacks, idt_desc, etc.).

Assuming that the spread of the rest of the per_cpu variables is
similar, identifying the read mostly memories will make more sense
in terms of long-term code maintenance comparing to identifying
frequently written memories.

161270fc1f x86/smp: Fix topology checks on AMD MCM CPUs
The warning below triggers on AMD MCM packages because physical package
IDs on the cores of a _physical_ socket are the same. I.e., this field
says which CPUs belong to the same physical package.

However, the same two CPUs belong to two different internal, i.e.
"logical" nodes in the same physical socket which is reflected in the
CPU-to-node map on x86 with NUMA.

Which makes this check wrong on the above topologies so circumvent it.

ceb1cbac8e sched/x86: Calculate booted cores after construction of sibling_mask
Commit 316ad24830 ("sched/x86: Rewrite set_cpu_sibling_map()")
broke the booted_cores accounting.

The problem is that the booted_cores accounting needs all the
sibling links set up. So restore the second loop and add a comment as
to why its needed.

On qemu booted with -smp sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2;
Before:
 $ grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 1
 cpu cores       : 4
 cpu cores       : 3

With the patch:
 $ grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2

3b6f70fd7d x86-smp-remove-call-to-ipi_call_lock-ipi_call_unlock
ipi_call_lock/unlock() lock resp. unlock call_function.lock. This lock
protects only the call_function data structure itself, but it's
completely unrelated to cpu_online_mask. The mask to which the IPIs
are sent is calculated before call_function.lock is taken in
smp_call_function_many(), so the locking around set_cpu_online() is
pointless and can be removed.

Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
 "This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
  that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
  which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
  object.  The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
  place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX.  This code
  separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).

Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

 "The biggest change is the cleanup/simplification of the load-balancer:
  instead of the current practice of architectures twiddling scheduler

8e7fbcbc22 sched: Remove stale power aware scheduling remnants and dysfunctional knobs
It's been broken forever (i.e. it's not scheduling in a power
aware fashion), as reported by Suresh and others sending
patches, and nobody cares enough to fix it properly ...
so remove it to make space free for something better.

There's various problems with the code as it stands today, first
and foremost the user interface which is bound to topology
levels and has multiple values per level. This results in a
state explosion which the administrator or distro needs to
master and almost nobody does.

Furthermore large configuration state spaces aren't good, it
means the thing doesn't just work right because it's either
under so many impossibe to meet constraints, or even if
there's an achievable state workloads have to be aware of
it precisely and can never meet it for dynamic workloads.

So pushing this kind of decision to user-space was a bad idea
even with a single knob - it's exponentially worse with knobs
on every node of the topology.

There is a proposal to replace the user interface with a single
3 state knob:

 sched_balance_policy := { performance, power, auto }

where 'auto' would be the preferred default which looks at things
like Battery/AC mode and possible cpufreq state or whatever the hw
exposes to show us power use expectations - but there's been no
progress on it in the past many months.

Aside from that, the actual implementation of the various knobs
is known to be broken. There have been sporadic attempts at
fixing things but these always stop short of reaching a mergable
state.

Therefore this wholesale removal with the hopes of spurring
people who care to come forward once again and work on a
coherent replacement.

Added header for trampoline code that can be used to supply
input data to it. This makes interface between real mode code
and kernel cleaner and simpler. Replaced two confusing pointers
to level4 pgt in trampoline_64.S with a single pointer to the
beginning of the page table.

1a022e3f1b idle, x86: Allow off-lined CPU to enter deeper C states
Currently when a CPU is off-lined it enters either MWAIT-based idle or,
if MWAIT is not desired or supported, HLT-based idle (which places the
processor in C1 state). This patch allows processors without MWAIT

bc758133ed sched/x86/smp: Do not enable IRQs over calibrate_delay()
We should not ever enable IRQs until we're fully set up. This opens up
a window where interrupts can hit the cpu and interrupts can do
wakeups, wakeups need state that isn't set-up yet, in particular this
cpu isn't elegible to run tasks, so if any cpu-affine task that got
created in CPU_UP_PREPARE manages to get a wakeup, its affinity mask
will get broken and we'll run into lots of 'interesting' problems.

5fbd036b55 sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness
Stepan found:

CPU0		CPUn

_cpu_up()
  __cpu_up()

		boostrap()
		  notify_cpu_starting()
		  set_cpu_online()
		  while (!cpu_active())
		    cpu_relax()

<PREEMPT-out>

smp_call_function(.wait=1)
  /* we find cpu_online() is true */
  arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask()

  /* wait-forever-more */

<PREEMPT-in>
		  local_irq_enable()

  cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
    sched_cpu_active()
      set_cpu_active()

Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where
we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it
while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the
sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so
that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want
new tasks to appear.

On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu,
so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state.
So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and
consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the
cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

df156f90a0 x86: Introduce x86_cpuinit.early_percpu_clock_init hook
When kvm guest uses kvmclock, it may hang on vcpu hot-plug.
This is caused by an overflow in pvclock_get_nsec_offset,

    u64 delta = tsc - shadow->tsc_timestamp;

which in turn is caused by an undefined values from percpu
hv_clock that hasn't been initialized yet.
Uninitialized clock on being booted cpu is accessed from
   start_secondary
    -> smp_callin
      ->  smp_store_cpu_info
        -> identify_secondary_cpu
          -> mtrr_ap_init
            -> mtrr_restore
              -> stop_machine_from_inactive_cpu
                -> queue_stop_cpus_work
                  ...
                    -> sched_clock
                      -> kvm_clock_read
which is well before x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev call in
start_secondary, where percpu clock is initialized.

This patch introduces a hook that allows to setup/initialize
per_cpu clock early and avoid overflow due to reading
  - undefined values
  - old values if cpu was offlined and then onlined again

Another possible early user of this clock source is ftrace that
accesses it to get timestamps for ring buffer entries. So if
mtrr_ap_init is moved from identify_secondary_cpu to past
x86_cpuinit.setup_percpu_clockev in start_secondary, ftrace
may cause the same overflow/hang on cpu hot-plug anyway.

More complete description of the problem:

Found out that show_msr=<cpus> is broken, when I asked a
user to use it to capture debug info about broken MTRR's
whose MTRR settings are probably different between CPUs.

Only the first CPUs MSRs are printed, but that is not
enough to track down the suspected bug.

For years we called print_cpu_msr from print_cpu_info(),
but this commit:

Put it back - it will only print MSRs when the user
specifically requests them via show_msr=<cpus>.

If the x2apic mode is disabled for reasons like interrupt-remapping
not available etc, then we need to skip the logical cpu bringup of
apic-id's >= 255. Otherwise as the platform is in xapic mode, init/startup
IPI's will consider only the low 8-bits and there is a possibility of
re-sending init/startup IPI's to the logical cpu that is already online.

This will avoid potential reboots/unpredictable behavior etc.

b565201cf7 x86: Reduce clock calibration time during slave cpu startup
Reduce the startup time for slave cpus.

Adds hooks for an arch-specific function for clock calibration.
These hooks are used on x86.  If a newly started cpu has the
same phys_proc_id as a core already active, uses the TSC for the
delay loop and has a CONSTANT_TSC, use the already-calculated
value of loops_per_jiffy.

This patch reduces the time required to start slave cpus on a
4096 cpu system from: 465 sec OLD 62 sec NEW

This reduces boot time on a 4096p system by almost 7 minutes.
Nice...

99e8b9ca90 x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest
The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI
instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to
shutdown.  There were some concerns that various machines may
have problems with using an NMI IPI.

This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at
boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine
panics and we learn the hard way.

Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file
runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results.  The
output looks like:

...
Brought up 4 CPUs
----------------
| NMI testsuite:
--------------------
  remote IPI:  ok  |
   local IPI:  ok  |
--------------------
Good, all   2 testcases passed! |

fd8a7de177 x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPU
After a newly plugged CPU sets the cpu_online bit it enables
interrupts and goes idle. The cpu which brought up the new cpu waits
for the cpu_online bit and when it observes it, it sets the cpu_active
bit for this cpu. The cpu_active bit is the relevant one for the
scheduler to consider the cpu as a viable target.

With forced threaded interrupt handlers which imply forced threaded
softirqs we observed the following race:

cpu 0                         cpu 1

bringup(cpu1);
                              set_cpu_online(smp_processor_id(), true);
		              local_irq_enable();
while (!cpu_online(cpu1));
                              timer_interrupt()
                                -> wake_up(softirq_thread_cpu1);
                                     -> enqueue_on(softirq_thread_cpu1, cpu0);

                                                                        ^^^^

cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE, cpu1);
  -> sched_cpu_active(cpu1)
     -> set_cpu_active((cpu1, true);

When an interrupt happens before the cpu_active bit is set by the cpu
which brought up the newly onlined cpu, then the scheduler refuses to
enqueue the woken thread which is bound to that newly onlined cpu on
that newly onlined cpu due to the not yet set cpu_active bit and
selects a fallback runqueue. Not really an expected and desirable
behaviour.

So far this has only been observed with forced hard/softirq threading,
but in theory this could happen without forced threaded hard/softirqs
as well. It's probably unobservable as it would take a massive
interrupt storm on the newly onlined cpu which causes the softirq loop
to wake up the softirq thread and an even longer delay of the cpu
which waits for the cpu_online bit.

4f3c125c74 x86: Fix mwait_play_dead() faulting on mwait-incapable cpus
A logic error in mwait_play_dead() causes the kernel to use
mwait even on cpus which don't support it, such as KVM virtual
cpus.

02c68a0201 x86 idle: clarify AMD erratum 400 workaround
The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved

Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.

This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

349c004e3d x86: A fast way to check capabilities of the current cpu
Add this_cpu_has() which determines if the current cpu has a certain
ability using a segment prefix and a bit test operation.

For that we need to add bit operations to x86s percpu.h.

Many uses of cpu_has use a pointer passed to a function to determine
the current flags. That is no longer necessary after this patch.

However, this patch only converts the straightforward cases where
cpu_has is used with this_cpu_ptr. The rest is work for later.

-tj: Rolled up patch to add x86_ prefix and use percpu_read() instead
     of percpu_read_stable().
