Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths. x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI. Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

Impact: fix spurious IRQs During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches. This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(), other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled). When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler. This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors at the same time. [ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ] Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: H.

Impact: simplification In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI. With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification (with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE. So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE. And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping. Idea-by: Rajesh Sankaran <rajesh.sankaran@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

Impact: make kexec work with x2apic disable_IO_APIC() gets called during crashdump aswell, which configures the IO-APIC/LAPIC so that legacy interrupts can be delivered for the kexec'd kernel. In the presence of interrupt-remapping, we need to change the interrupt-remapping configuration aswell as modifying IO-APIC for virtual wire B mode. To keep things simple during the crash, use virtual wire A mode (for which we don't need to touch io-apic and interrupt-remapping tables).

Commit ee6f779b ("filp->f_pos not correctly updated in proc_task_readdir") changed the proc code to use filp->f_pos directly, rather than through a temporary variable. In the process, that caused the operations to be done on the full 64 bits, even though the offset is never that big. That's all fine and dandy per se, but for some unfathomable reason gcc generates absolutely horrid code when using 64-bit values in switch() statements. To the point of actually calling out to gcc helper functions like __cmpdi2 rather than just doing the trivial comparisons directly the way gcc does for normal compares. At which point we get link failures, because we really don't want to support that kind of crazy code. Fix this by just casting the f_pos value to "unsigned long", which is plenty big enough for /proc, and avoids the gcc code generation issue.

In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware) When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX", which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it. At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by putting the address in a register and generating a two byte indirect-via-register call. Prevent this by explicitly dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the asm as a constant. This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable callsites.

In the async encryption-complete function (kcryptd_async_done), the crypto_async_request passed in may be different from the one passed to crypto_ablkcipher_encrypt/decrypt. Only crypto_async_request->data is guaranteed to be same as the one passed in. The current kcryptd_async_done uses the passed-in crypto_async_request directly which may cause the AES-NI-based AES algorithm implementation to panic. This patch fixes this bug by only using crypto_async_request->data, which points to dm_crypt_request, the crypto_async_request passed in. The original data (convert_context) is gotten from dm_crypt_request.
