For additional coverage, BorisO and friends unknowlingly did swap AMD microcode with Intel microcode blobs in order to see what happens. What did happen on 32-bit was [ 5.722656] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at be3a6008 [ 5.722693] IP: [<c106d6b4>] load_microcode_amd+0x24/0x3f0 [ 5.722716] *pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000 because there was a valid initrd there but without valid microcode in it and the container check happened *after* the relocated ramdisk handling on 32-bit, which was clearly wrong. While at it, take care of the ramdisk relocation on both 32- and 64-bit as it is done on both. Also, comment what we're doing because this code is a bit tricky.

Commit d61931d8, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling.

With DISCONTIGMEM, the mapping between a pfn and its owning node is initialized using data provided by the BIOS. However, the initialization may fail if the extents are not aligned to section boundary (64M). The symptom of this bug is an early boot failure in pfn_to_page(), as it tries to access NODE_DATA(__nid) using index from an unitialized element of the physnode_map[] array. While the bug is always present, it is more likely to be hit in kdump kernels on large machines, because: 1. The memory map for a kdump kernel is specified as exactmap, and exactmap is more likely to be unaligned. 2. Large reservations are more likely to span across a 64M boundary.

This patch fixes the following warning: warning: (X86_INTEL_MID) selects INTEL_SCU_IPC which has unmet direct dependencies (X86 && X86_PLATFORM_DEVICES && X86_INTEL_MID) It happens because when selected, X86_INTEL_MID tries to select INTEL_SCU_IPC regardless all its dependencies are met or not.

When ACPI SLIT table has an I/O locality (i.e. a locality unique to an I/O device), numa_set_distance() emits this warning message: NUMA: Warning: node ids are out of bound, from=-1 to=-1 distance=10 acpi_numa_slit_init() calls numa_set_distance() with pxm_to_node(), which assumes that all localities have been parsed with SRAT previously. SRAT does not list I/O localities, where as SLIT lists all localities including I/Os. Hence, pxm_to_node() returns NUMA_NO_NODE (-1) for an I/O locality. I/O localities are not supported and are ignored today, but emitting such warning message leads to unnecessary confusion. Change acpi_numa_slit_init() to avoid calling numa_set_distance() with NUMA_NO_NODE.

There was a large ebizzy performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 (x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86). The problem was related to the tlb_flushall_shift tuning for IvyBridge which was altered. The problem is that it is not clear if the tuning values for each CPU family is correct as the methodology used to tune the values is unclear. This patch uses a conservative tlb_flushall_shift value for all CPU families except IvyBridge so the decision can be revisited if any regression is found as a result of this change. IvyBridge is an exception as testing with one methodology determined that the value of 2 is acceptable. Details are in the changelog for the patch "x86: mm: Change tlb_flushall_shift for IvyBridge". One important aspect of this to watch out for is Xen. The original commit log mentioned large performance gains on Xen. It's possible Xen is more sensitive to this value if it flushes small ranges of pages more frequently than workloads on bare metal typically do.

There was a large performance regression that was bisected to commit 611ae8e3 ("x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86"). This patch simply changes the default balance point between a local and global flush for IvyBridge. In the interest of allowing the tests to be reproduced, this patch was tested using mmtests 0.15 with the following configurations configs/config-global-dhp__tlbflush-performance configs/config-global-dhp__scheduler-performance configs/config-global-dhp__network-performance Results are from two machines Ivybridge 4 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-3240 CPU @ 3.40GHz Ivybridge 8 threads: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz Page fault microbenchmark showed nothing interesting. Ebizzy was configured to run multiple iterations and threads. Thread counts ranged from 1 to NR_CPUS*2. For each thread count, it ran 100 iterations and each iteration lasted 10 seconds.

The patch addresses the problem. Next was a tlbflush microbenchmark written by Alex Shi at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133727348217113 . It measures access costs while the TLB is being flushed. The expectation is that if there are always full TLB flushes that the benchmark would suffer and it benefits from range flushing There are 320 iterations of the test per thread count. The number of entries is randomly selected with a min of 1 and max of 512. To ensure a reasonably even spread of entries, the full range is broken up into 8 sections and a random number selected within that section. iteration 1, random number between 0-64 iteration 2, random number between 64-128 etc This is still a very weak methodology. When you do not know what are typical ranges, random is a reasonable choice but it can be easily argued that the opimisation was for smaller ranges and an even spread is not representative of any workload that matters. To improve this, we'd need to know the probability distribution of TLB flush range sizes for a set of workloads that are considered "common", build a synthetic trace and feed that into this benchmark. Even that is not perfect because it would not account for the time between flushes but there are limits of what can be reasonably done and still be doing something useful. If a representative synthetic trace is provided then this benchmark could be revisited and the shift values retuned.

The scheduler benchmarks were somewhat inconclusive. They showed gains and losses and makes me reconsider how stable those benchmarks really are or if something else might be interfering with the test results recently. Network benchmarks were inconclusive. Almost all results were flat except for netperf-udp tests on the 4 thread machine. These results were unstable and showed large variations between reboots. It is unknown if this is a recent problems but I've noticed before that netperf-udp results tend to vary. Based on these results, changing the default for Ivybridge seems like a logical choice.

When choosing between doing an address space or ranged flush, the x86 implementation of flush_tlb_mm_range takes into account whether there are any large pages in the range. A per-page flush typically requires fewer entries than would covered by a single large page and the check is redundant. There is one potential exception. THP migration flushes single THP entries and it conceivably would benefit from flushing a single entry instead of the mm. However, this flush is after a THP allocation, copy and page table update potentially with any other threads serialised behind it. In comparison to that, the flush is noise. It makes more sense to optimise balancing to require fewer flushes than to optimise the flush itself. This patch deletes the redundant huge page check.

The workaround for this Erratum is included in AGESA. But BIOSes spun only after Jan2014 will have the fix (atleast server versions of the chip). The erratum affects both embedded and server platforms and since we cannot say with certainity that ALL BIOSes on systems out in the field will have the fix, we should probably insulate ourselves in case BIOS does not do the right thing or someone is using old BIOSes. Refer to Revision Guide for AMD F16h models 00h-0fh, document 51810 Rev. 3.04, November2013 for details on the Erratum. Tested the patch on Fam16h server platform and it works fine.
