a75c54f933 [PATCH] i386: i386 separate hardware-defined TSS from Linux additions

Not sure about this, now I've done it.  Running it here.

If you like it, I can do x86-64 as well.

==
lguest defines its own TSS struct because the "struct tss_struct"
contains linux-specific additions.  Andi asked me to split the struct
in processor.h.

Unfortunately it makes usage a little awkward.

4bc5aa91fb [PATCH] x86: Clean up x86 control register and MSR macros (corrected)
This patch is based on Rusty's recent cleanup of the EFLAGS-related
macros; it extends the same kind of cleanup to control registers and
MSRs.

It also unifies these between i386 and x86-64; at least with regards
to MSRs, the two had definitely gotten out of sync.

f039b75471 [PATCH] x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD Family 10
It doesn't put the CPU into deeper sleep states, so it's better to use the standard
idle loop to save power. But allow to reenable it anyways for benchmarking.

I also removed the obsolete idle=halt on i386

a6c4e076ee [PATCH] i386: clean up identify_cpu
identify_cpu() is used to identify both the boot CPU and secondary
CPUs, but it performs some actions which only apply to the boot CPU.
Those functions are therefore really __init functions, but because
they're called by identify_cpu(), they must be marked __cpuinit.

This patch splits identify_cpu() into identify_boot_cpu() and
identify_secondary_cpu(), and calls the appropriate init functions
from each.  Also, identify_boot_cpu() and all the functions it
dominates are marked __init.

90a0a06aa8 [PATCH] i386: rationalize paravirt wrappers
paravirt.c used to implement native versions of all low-level
functions.  Far cleaner is to have the native versions exposed in the
headers and as inline native_XXX, and if !CONFIG_PARAVIRT, then simply
#define XXX native_XXX.

There are several nice side effects:

1) write_dt_entry() now takes the correct "struct Xgt_desc_struct *"
   not "void *".

2) load_TLS is reintroduced to the for loop, not manually unrolled
   with a #error in case the bounds ever change.

3) Macros become inlines, with type checking.

4) Access to the native versions is trivial for KVM, lguest, Xen and
   others who might want it.

bf50467204 [PATCH] i386: Use per-cpu GDT immediately upon boot
Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the
"cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the
per-cpu GDT.  This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C.

The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it
switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated.  For secondary CPUs, the
early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy.

For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP,
but we never have to move.

692174b97d [PATCH] i386: Initialize esp0 properly all the time
Whenever we schedule, __switch_to calls load_esp0 which does:

	tss->esp0 = thread->esp0;

This is never initialized for the initial thread (ie "swapper"), so when we're
scheduling that, we end up setting esp0 to 0.  This is fine: the swapper never
leaves ring 0, so this field is never used.

lguest, however, gets upset that we're trying to used an unmapped page as our
kernel stack.  Rather than work around it there, let's initialize it.

2ff2d3d747 [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop.  You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop.  The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction.  Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.

The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode).  The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.

464d1a78fb [PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

9ee79a3d37 [PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during boot
The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.

The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id.  The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.

The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

139ec7c416 [PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt intercepts
It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude,
are the interrupt manipulation ops.  These are obvious candidates for
patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it.

The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which
is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a
number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded).

Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to
use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make
the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the
allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

And:

Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.

Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized

function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
structure with their own variants.

All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.

And:

+From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>

f95d47caae [PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernel
This patch is the meat of the PDA change.  This patch makes several related
changes:

1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel.  This means that on
   entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
   __KERNEL_PDA.

2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
   is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
   state can be accessed.

   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
   is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).

3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
   register state in a signal context.

4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
   code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

6211119580 [PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data area
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it.  The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.

This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init().  Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs.  This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.

In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

991528d734 ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT
Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm

Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm

With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3).  We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.

One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, ..  states.

1e9f28fa1e [PATCH] sched: new sched domain for representing multi-core
Add a new sched domain for representing multi-core with shared caches
between cores.  Consider a dual package system, each package containing two
cores and with last level cache shared between cores with in a package.  If
there are two runnable processes, with this appended patch those two
processes will be scheduled on different packages.

On such systems, with this patch we have observed 8% perf improvement with
specJBB(2 warehouse) benchmark and 35% improvement with CFP2000 rate(with 2
users).

This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared
caches.  On other systems, this sched domain will be removed by domain
degeneration code.  This new domain can be also used for implementing power
savings policy (see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..
I will post another patch for power savings policy soon)

Most of the arch/* file changes are for cpu_coregroup_map() implementation.

3f98bc4991 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Update AMD CPUID flags
Print bits for RDTSCP, SVM, CR8-LEGACY.

Also now print power flags on i386 like x86-64 always did.
This will add a new line in the 386 cpuinfo, but that shouldn't
be an issue - did that in the past too and I haven't heard
of any breakage.

I shrunk some of the fields in the i386 cpuinfo_x86 to chars
to make up for the new int "x86_power" field. Overall it's
smaller than before.

94605eff57 [PATCH] x86-64/i386: Intel HT, Multi core detection fixes
Fields obtained through cpuid vector 0x1(ebx[16:23]) and
vector 0x4(eax[14:25], eax[26:31]) indicate the maximum values and might not
always be the same as what is available and what OS sees.  So make sure
"siblings" and "cpu cores" values in /proc/cpuinfo reflect the values as seen
by OS instead of what cpuid instruction says. This will also fix the buggy BIOS
cases (for example where cpuid on a single core cpu says there are "2" siblings,
even when HT is disabled in the BIOS.

a520112930 [PATCH] x86: make IOPL explicit
The pushf/popf in switch_to are ONLY used to switch IOPL.  Making this
explicit in C code is more clear.  This pushf/popf pair was added as a
bugfix for leaking IOPL to unprivileged processes when using
sysenter/sysexit based system calls (sysexit does not restore flags).

When requesting an IOPL change in sys_iopl(), it is just as easy to change
the current flags and the flags in the stack image (in case an IRET is
required), but there is no reason to force an IRET if we came in from the
SYSENTER path.

This change is the minimal solution for supporting a paravirtualized Linux
kernel that allows user processes to run with I/O privilege.  Other
solutions require radical rewrites of part of the low level fault / system
call handling code, or do not fully support sysenter based system calls.

Unfortunately, this added one field to the thread_struct.  But as a bonus,
on P4, the fastest time measured for switch_to() went from 312 to 260
cycles, a win of about 17% in the fast case through this performance
critical path.

245067d167 [PATCH] i386: cleanup serialize msr
i386 arch cleanup.  Introduce the serialize macro to serialize processor
state.  Why the microcode update needs it I am not quite sure, since wrmsr()
is already a serializing instruction, but it is a microcode update, so I will
keep the semantic the same, since this could be a timing workaround.  As far
as I can tell, this has always been there since the original microcode update
source.

4bb0d3ec3e [PATCH] i386: inline asm cleanup
i386 Inline asm cleanup.  Use cr/dr accessor functions.

Also, a potential bugfix.  Also, some CR accessors really should be volatile.
Reads from CR0 (numeric state may change in an exception handler), writes to
CR4 (flipping CR4.TSD) and reads from CR2 (page fault) prevent instruction
re-ordering.  I did not add memory clobber to CR3 / CR4 / CR0 updates, as it
was not there to begin with, and in no case should kernel memory be clobbered,
except when doing a TLB flush, which already has memory clobber.

I noticed that page invalidation does not have a memory clobber.  I can't find
a bug as a result, but there is definitely a potential for a bug here:

#define __flush_tlb_single(addr) \
	__asm__ __volatile__("invlpg %0": :"m" (*(char *) addr))

Thankfully, this is not used as a security check, but it can falsely

There has been some discuss about solving the SMP MTRR suspend/resume
breakage, but I didn't find a patch for it.  This is an intent for it.  The
basic idea is moving mtrr initializing into cpu_identify for all APs (so it
works for cpu hotplug).  For BP, restore_processor_state is responsible for
restoring MTRR.

3dd9d51484 [PATCH] x86_64: add support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.  

It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64).

Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a)

This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.

Slightly hacked by AK.

ecd02dddd1 [PATCH] i386: Use loaddebug macro consistently
This moves the macro loaddebug from asm-i386/suspend.h to
asm-i386/processor.h, which is the place that makes sense for it to be
defined, removes the extra copy of the same macro in
arch/i386/kernel/process.c, and makes arch/i386/kernel/signal.c use the
macro in place of its expansion.

This is a purely cosmetic cleanup for the normal i386 kernel.  However, it
is handy for Xen to be able to just redefine the loaddebug macro once
instead of also changing the signal.c code.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
