This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.
The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory. When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.
The measured latencies for different CPUs are:
CPU Wakeup Kicking
--- ------ -------
Haswell-EX 63.6us 7.4us
Westmere-EX 67.6us 9.3us
The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.
A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:
pv_hash_hops=1.00
pv_kick_unlock=1148
pv_kick_wake=1146
pv_latency_kick=11040
pv_latency_wake=194840
pv_spurious_wakeup=7
pv_wait_again=4
pv_wait_head=23
pv_wait_node=1129

Merge the early loader functionality into the driver proper. The
diff is huge but logically, it is simply moving code from the

Make CONFIG_MICROCODE a bool. It was practically a bool already anyway,
since early loader was forcing it to =y.
Regardless, there's no real reason to have something be a module which
gets built-in on the majority of installations out there. And its not
like there's noticeable change in functionality - we still can load late
microcode - just the module glue disappears.

Most distributions end up enabling SWIOTLB already with 32-bit
kernels due to the combination of CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST|CONFIG_XEN=y
as those end up requiring the SWIOTLB.
However for those that are not interested in virtualization and
run in 32-bit they will discover that: "32-bit PAE 4.2.0 kernel
(no IOMMU code) would hang when writing to my USB disk. The kernel
spews million(-ish messages per sec) to syslog, effectively
"hanging" userspace with my kernel.

Enabling it makes the problem go away.
N.B. With a6dfa128ce5c414ab46b1d690f7a1b8decb8526d

this adds a new CONFIG to select the type of vsyscall mapping to

- Don't mark it 'obsolete' in the text as we'll support the ABI as long as CPUs
support it.
- Qualify the part about software emulation and mention that for some apps you
want a real vm86 mode.
- Don't scare users away from the option, instead explain what it does.

There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c. In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.
And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.
The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled. But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.
Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel. KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.
Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig. Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical
drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().
Summary:
- Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
kernel's direct map.
This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
'struct block_device_operations').
For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device
memory will arrive in a later kernel.
- Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The
replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.
Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.
- Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.
- Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
cacheable to improve performance.
- Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
fixes"

An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM. This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.
The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available. When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.
The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains. Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.
arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()". Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.

This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads. For
rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB). This was
done on a random lab machine.
PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
100000+0 records in
100000+0 records out
409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s
PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
1000000+0 records in
1000000+0 records out
4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s
To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:
http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf
This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
new data is read. This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM. We know
that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.
In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range(). This is
protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
only supported on x86.

register a nvdimm bus beneath it. Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty. Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in. Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:
1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting
2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
(unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
default)
3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
"iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

printk() is not safe to use in MCE context. Add a lockless
memory allocator pool to save error records in MCE context.
Those records will be issued later, in a printk-safe context.
The idea is inspired by the APEI/GHES driver.
We're very conservative and allocate only two pages for it but
since we're going to use those pages throughout the system's
lifetime, we allocate them statically to avoid early boot time
allocation woes.

VM86 is entirely broken if ptrace, syscall auditing, or
NOHZ_FULL is in use. The code is a big undocumented mess, it's
a real PITA to test, and it looks like a big chunk of vm86_32.c
is dead code. It also plays awful games with the entry asm.
No one should be using it anyway. Use DOSBOX or KVM instead.
Let's accelerate its slow death. Remove it from EXPERT and
default it to n. Distros should not enable it. In the unlikely
event that some user needs it, they can easily re-enable it.
While we're at it, rename it to CONFIG_X86_LEGACY_VM86 so that 'make
oldconfig' users will be prompted again. I left CONFIG_VM86 as
an alias to avoid a treewide replacement of the names. We can
clean that up once the current asm and vm86 code churn settles
down.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
"The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:
NFIT:
Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface table).
After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple
NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In
turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
device (disk) interface to the memory.
PMEM:
Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.
In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().
BLK:
This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
"Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference
of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
time.
Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not
support DAX.
BTT:
This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).
The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's
disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always
silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the
presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Based on an original patch by Ross Zwisler [1].
Writes to persistent memory have the potential to be posted to cpu
cache, cpu write buffers, and platform write buffers (memory controller)
before being committed to persistent media. Provide apis,
memcpy_to_pmem(), wmb_pmem(), and memremap_pmem(), to write data to
pmem and assert that it is durable in PMEM (a persistent linear address
range). A '__pmem' attribute is added so sparse can track proper usage
of pointers to pmem.
This continues the status quo of pmem being x86 only for 4.2, but
reworks to ioremap, and wider implementation of memremap() will enable
other archs in 4.3.

nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents
the system-physical-address range as a block device.
The existing e820-type-12 to pmem setup is converted to an nvdimm_bus
that emits an nd_namespace_io device.
Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region. This
provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot.
The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to
alloc_disk().

In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.
So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

Peter Zijstra noticed that in arch/x86/Kconfig there are a lot
of X86_{32,64} clauses in the X86 symbol, plus there are a number
of similar selects in the X86_32 and X86_64 config definitions
as well - which all overlap in an inconsistent mess.
So:
- move all select's from X86_32 and X86_64 to the X64 config
option
- sort their names, so that duplications are easier to spot
- align their if clauses, so that they are easier to identify
at a glance - and so that weirdnesses stand out more

So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks
like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub().
The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new
arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to
define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile.
So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each
arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c
for ifdeffery. Much cleaner.
And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This
is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches
which need/have EDAC support and drivers.
This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

This patch splits CONFIG_I8K compile option to SENSORS_DELL_SMM and CONFIG_I8K.
Option SENSORS_DELL_SMM is now used to enable compilation of dell-smm-hwmon
driver and old CONFIG_I8K option to enable /proc/i8k interface in driver.
So this change allows to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without legacy /proc/i8k
interface which is needed only for old Dell Inspirion models or for userspace
i8kutils package.
For backward compatibility when CONFIG_I8K is enabled then also SENSORS_DELL_SMM
is enabled and so driver dell-smm-hwmon (with /proc/i8k) is compiled.

To be consistent with the queued spinlocks which use
CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS config parameter, the one for the queued
rwlocks is now renamed to CONFIG_QUEUED_RWLOCKS.

Valentin Rothberg reported that we use CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCKS
in arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch_32.c, while the symbol is
called CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCK. (Note the extra 'S')
But the typo was natural: the proper English term for such
a generic object would be 'queued spinlocks' - so rename
this and related symbols accordingly to the plural form.

Since:
b53b5eda8194 ("x86/cpu: Increase max CPU count to 8192")
... the maximum supported NR_CPUS for CPUMASK_OFFSTACK case
is 8192. Let's adjust the description to reflect the change.

Default NR_CPUS==8 is not enough to cover high-end desktop
configuration: Haswell-E has upto 16 threads.
Let's increase default NR_CPUS to 64 on 64-bit configuration.
With this value CPU bitmask will still fit into one unsigned long.
Default for 32-bit configuration is still 8: it's unlikely
anybody will run 32-bit kernels on modern hardware.
As an alternative we could bump NR_CPUS to 128 to cover all
dual-processor servers with some margin.
For reference: Debian and Suse build their kernels with
NR_CPUS==512, Fedora -- 1024.

We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between:
native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath() __pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()
native_queued_spin_unlock() __pv_queued_spin_unlock()
We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.
We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.
This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.

This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture
specific layer to enable the use of queued spinlocks for x86-64. As
x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue
spinlock may not be apparent. So queued spinlocks are not enabled.
Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized
spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the
queued spinlocks. Therefore, the use of queued spinlocks is disabled
when the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled.
The arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h header file includes some x86
specific optimization which will make the queueds spinlock code
perform better than the generic implementation.

Recent PCI changes stopped exporting PCI constants if !CONFIG_PCI,
which made the UV build fail:
arch/x86/kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c:843:16: error: ‘PCI_VGA_STATE_CHANGE_BRIDGE’ undeclared (first use in this function)
arch/x86/kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c:1023:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pci_register_set_vga_state’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
As it's unlikely that an UV bootup will get far without PCI
enumeration, make the platform Kconfig switch (CONFIG_X86_UV)
depend on CONFIG_PCI=y.

We are able to use x2APIC mode in the absence of interrupt remapping on
certain hypervisors. So it is fine to disable IRQ_REMAP without having
to give up x2APIC support.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux
Pull initial ACPI support for arm64 from Will Deacon:
"This series introduces preliminary ACPI 5.1 support to the arm64
kernel using the "hardware reduced" profile. We don't support any
peripherals yet, so it's fairly limited in scope:
- MEMORY init (UEFI)
- ACPI discovery (RSDP via UEFI)
- CPU init (FADT)
- GIC init (MADT)
- SMP boot (MADT + PSCI)
- ACPI Kconfig options (dependent on EXPERT)
ACPI for arm64 has been in development for a while now and hardware
has been available that can boot with either FDT or ACPI tables. This
has been made possible by both changes to the ACPI spec to cater for
ARM-based machines (known as "hardware-reduced" in ACPI parlance) but
also a Linaro-driven effort to get this supported on top of the Linux
kernel. This pull request is the result of that work.
These changes allow us to initialise the CPUs, interrupt controller,
and timers via ACPI tables, with memory information and cmdline coming
from EFI. We don't support a hybrid ACPI/FDT scheme. Of course,
there is still plenty of work to do (a serial console would be nice!)
but I expect that to happen on a per-driver basis after this core
series has been merged.
Anyway, the diff stat here is fairly horrible, but splitting this up
and merging it via all the different subsystems would have been
extremely painful. Instead, we've got all the relevant Acks in place
and I've not seen anything other than trivial (Kconfig) conflicts in
-next (for completeness, I've included my resolution below). Nearly
half of the insertions fall under Documentation/.
So, we'll see how this goes. Right now, it all depends on EXPERT and
I fully expect people to use FDT by default for the immediate future"
