Impact: cleanup, change parameter passing * Change genapic interfaces to accept cpumask_t pointers where possible. * Modify external callers to use cpumask_t pointers in function calls. * Create new send_IPI_mask_allbutself which is the same as the send_IPI_mask functions but removes smp_processor_id() from list. This removes another common need for a temporary cpumask_t variable. * Functions that used a temp cpumask_t variable for: cpumask_t allbutme = cpu_online_map; cpu_clear(smp_processor_id(), allbutme); if (!cpus_empty(allbutme)) ... become: if (!cpus_equal(cpu_online_map, cpumask_of_cpu(cpu))) ... * Other minor code optimizations (like using cpus_clear instead of CPU_MASK_NONE, etc.) Applies to linux-2.6.tip/master.

Impact: fix rare x2apic hang On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode. Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Aviod TLB flush IPIs during C3 states by voluntary leave_mm() before entering C3. The performance impact of TLB flush on C3 should not be significant with respect to C3 wakeup latency. Also, CPUs tend to flush TLB in hardware while in C3 anyways. On a 8 logical CPU system, running make -j2, the number of tlbflush IPIs goes down from 40 per second to ~ 0. Total number of interrupts during the run of this workload was ~1200 per second, which makes it ~3% savings in wakeups. There was no measurable performance or power impact however.

Mike Travis authored
cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case.

This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions. MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup. For this case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch() and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is initialized. A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64.

Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts. /proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting. This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64 platforms, as appropriate: rescheduling interrupts TLB flush interrupts function call interrupts thermal event interrupts threshold interrupts spurious interrupts A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail. Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated when the temperature drops back to a normal level. A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff. Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring. AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

No other architecture calls check_pgt_cache() from within flush_tlb_mm(), and i386 is already calling check_pgt_cache() from the usual places, tlb_finish_mmu() and cpu_idle() (the latter being odd, but not unusual). flush_tlb_mm() has no business to be freeing pages: remove that line, which sneaked in with slub's i386 support.

This patch adds a pv_op for flush_tlb_others. Linux running on native hardware uses cross-CPU IPIs to flush the TLB on any CPU which may have a particular mm's pagetable entries cached in its TLB. This is inefficient in a paravirtualized environment, since the hypervisor knows which real CPUs actually contain cached mappings, which may be a small subset of a guest's VCPUs.

Add a smp_ops interface. This abstracts the API defined by <linux/smp.h> for use within arch/i386. The primary intent is that it be used by a paravirtualizing hypervisor to implement SMP, but it could also be used by non-APIC-using sub-architectures. This is related to CONFIG_PARAVIRT, but is implemented unconditionally since it is simpler that way and not a highly performance-sensitive interface.

Synchronize i386's smp_send_stop() with x86-64's in only try-locking the call lock to prevent deadlocks when called from panic(). In both version, disable interrupts before clearing the CPU off the online map to eliminate races with IRQ handlers inspecting this map. Also in both versions, save/restore interrupts rather than disabling/ enabling them. On x86-64, eliminate one function used here by folding it into its single caller, convert to static, and rename for consistency with i386 (lkcd may like this).

Benjamin LaHaise also points out that this is a big hot-path, and that interrupt delivery while idle is very common and should not go through all these expensive gyrations. Fix up conflicts in arch/i386/kernel/apic.c and arch/i386/kernel/irq.c due to other unrelated irq changes.
