This patch unifies the paravirt pieces of processor.h The functionality present in 32 bit, but not (yet) in 64-bit, like load_sp0 is _not_ done here, and let to a different patch. With this unification, we get paravirt for free in x86_64 processor.h Signed-off-by:

There's no need for the *_MASK flags (TF_MASK, IF_MASK, etc), found in processor.h (both _32 and _64). They have a one-to-one mapping with the EFLAGS value. This patch removes the definitions, and use the already existent X86_EFLAGS_ version when applicable. [ roland@redhat.com: KVM build fixes. ] Signed-off-by:

Recently a kdump bug was discovered in which a system would hang inside calibrate_delay during the booting of the kdump kernel. This was caused by the fact that the jiffies counter was not being incremented during timer calibration. The root cause of this problem was found to be a bios misconfiguration of the hypertransport bus. On system affected by this hang, the bios had assigned APIC ids which used extended apic bits (more than the nominal 4 bit ids's), but failed to configure bit 17 of the hypertransport transaction config register, which indicated that the mask for the destination field of interrupt packets accross the ht bus (see section 3.3.9 of http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/26094.PDF). If a crash occurs on a cpu with an APIC id that extends beyond 4 bits, it will not recieve interrupts during the kdump kernel boot, and this hang will be the result. The fix is to add this patch, whcih add an early pci quirk check, to forcibly enable this bit in the httcfg register. This enables all cpus on a system to receive interrupts, and allows kdump kernel bootup to procede normally. Signed-off-by:

Its previous use in a call to on_each_cpu() was pointless, as at the time that code gets executed only one CPU is online. Further, the function can be __cpuinit, and for this to work without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU setup_nmi() must also get an attribute (this one can even be __init; on 64-bits check_timer() also was lacking that attribute).

This generally allows better code to be generated, since the zero- extension during 32-bit operations comes for free (needed when the result is used as array index or similar), whereas sign extension must be done explicitly and frequently requires a one byte larger instruction due to the necessary rex64 prefix.

This patch unifies kprobes code. - Unify kprobes_*.h to kprobes.h - Unify kprobes_*.c to kprobes.c (Differences are separated by ifdefs) - Most differences are related to REX prefix and rip relatives. - Two inline assembly code are different. - One difference in kprobe_handlre() - One fixup exception code is different, but it will be unified if mm/extable_*.c are unified. - Merge history logs into arch/x86/kernel/kprobes.c.

This patch cleanup kprobes code on x86 for unification. This patch is based on Arjan's previous work. - Remove spurious whitespace changes - Add harmless includes - Make the 32/64 files more identical - Generalize structure fields' and local variable name. - Wrap accessing to stack address by macros. - Modify bitmap making macro. - Merge fixup code into is_riprel() and change its name to fix_riprel(). - Set MAX_INSN_SIZE to 16 on both arch. - Use u32 for bitmaps on both architectures. - Clarify some comments.

Introduce ticket lock spinlocks for x86 which are FIFO. The implementation is described in the comments. The straight-line lock/unlock instruction sequence is slightly slower than the dec based locks on modern x86 CPUs, however the difference is quite small on Core2 and Opteron when working out of cache, and becomes almost insignificant even on P4 when the lock misses cache. trylock is more significantly slower, but they are relatively rare. On an 8 core (2 socket) Opteron, spinlock unfairness is extremely noticable, with a userspace test having a difference of up to 2x runtime per thread, and some threads are starved or "unfairly" granted the lock up to 1 000 000 (!) times. After this patch, all threads appear to finish at exactly the same time. The memory ordering of the lock does conform to x86 standards, and the implementation has been reviewed by Intel and AMD engineers. The algorithm also tells us how many CPUs are contending the lock, so lockbreak becomes trivial and we no longer have to waste 4 bytes per spinlock for it. After this, we can no longer spin on any locks with preempt enabled and cannot reenable interrupts when spinning on an irq safe lock, because at that point we have already taken a ticket and the would deadlock if the same CPU tries to take the lock again. These are questionable anyway: if the lock happens to be called under a preempt or interrupt disabled section, then it will just have the same latency problems. The real fix is to keep critical sections short, and ensure locks are reasonably fair (which this patch does). Signed-off-by:

The break_lock data structure and code for spinlocks is quite nasty. Not only does it double the size of a spinlock but it changes locking to a potentially less optimal trylock. Put all of that under CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, and introduce a __raw_spin_is_contended that uses the lock data itself to determine whether there are waiters on the lock, to be used if CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK is not set. Rename need_lockbreak to spin_needbreak, make it use spin_is_contended to decouple it from the spinlock implementation, and make it typesafe (rwlocks do not have any need_lockbreak sites -- why do they even get bloated up with that break_lock then?).

Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).

By Andi Kleen's suggestion, this patch removes pack_ldt() and pack_tss() wrappers in favour of a general wrapper. It saves us an ifdef and some lines of code, but more importantly, it's more elegant. No functional change is made, although the object code is expected to be different. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds basic runtime services support for EFI x86_64 system. The main file of the patch is the addition of efi_64.c for x86_64. This file is modeled after the EFI IA32 avatar. EFI runtime services initialization are implemented in efi_64.c. Some x86_64 specifics are worth noting here. On x86_64, parameters passed to EFI firmware services need to follow the EFI calling convention. For this purpose, a set of functions named efi_call<x> (<x> is the number of parameters) are implemented. EFI function calls are wrapped before calling the firmware service. The duplicated code between efi_32.c and efi_64.c is placed in efi.c to remove them from efi_32.c. Signed-off-by:
