x86: 32-bit IOAPIC: de-fang IRQ compression
commit c434b7a6aedfe428ad17cd61b21b125a7b7a29ce
(x86: avoid wasting IRQs for PCI devices)
created a concept of "IRQ compression" on i386
to conserve IRQ numbers on systems with many
sparsely populated IO APICs.
The same scheme was also added to x86_64,
but later removed when x86_64 recieved an IRQ over-haul
that made it unnecessary -- including per-CPU
IRQ vectors that greatly increased the IRQ capacity
on the machine.
i386 has not received the analogous over-haul,
and thus a previous attempt to delete IRQ compression
from i386 was rejected on the theory that there may
exist machines that actually need it. The fact is
that the author of IRQ compression patch was unable
to confirm the actual existence of such a system.
As a result, all i386 kernels with IOAPIC support
pay the following:
1. confusion
IRQ compression re-names the traditional IOAPIC
pin numbers (aka ACPI GSI's) into sequential IRQ #s:
This makes /proc/interrupts look different
depending on system configuration and device probe order.
It is also different than the x86_64 kernel running
on the exact same system. As a result, programmers
get confused when comparing systems.
2. complexity
The IRQ code in Linux is already overly complex,
and IRQ compression makes it worse. There have
already been two bug workarounds related to IRQ
compression -- the IRQ0 timer workaround and
the VIA PCI IRQ workaround.
3. size
All i386 kernels with IOAPIC support contain an int[4096] --
a 4 page array to contain the renamed IRQs.
So while the irq compression code on i386 should really
be deleted -- even before merging the x86_64 irq-overhaul,
this patch simply disables it on all high volume systems
to avoid problems #1 and #2 on most all i386 systems.
A large system with pin numbers >=64 will still have compression
to conserve limited IRQ numbers for sparse IOAPICS. However,
the vast majority of the planet, those with only pin numbers < 64
will use an identity GSI -> IRQ mapping.

ptrace: arch_has_block_step
This defines the new macro arch_has_block_step() in linux/ptrace.h, a
default for when asm/ptrace.h does not define it. This is the analog
of arch_has_single_step() for step-until-branch on machines that have
it. It declares the new user_enable_block_step function, which goes
with the existing user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step.
This is not used yet, but paves the way to harmonize on this interface

This changes the single-step support to use a new thread_info flag

This keeps arch implementation uses out of this non-arch field.
This changes the ptrace access to eflags to mask TF and maintain
the TIF_FORCED_TF flag directly if userland sets TF, instead of
relying on ptrace_signal_deliver. The 64-bit and 32-bit kernels
are harmonized on this same behavior. The ptrace_signal_deliver
approach works now, but this change makes the low-level register
access code reliable when called from different contexts than a
ptrace stop, which will be possible in the future.
The 64-bit do_debug exception handler is also changed not to clear TF
from user-mode registers. This matches the 32-bit kernel's behavior.

x86: fall back on interrupt disable in cmpxchg8b on 80386 and 80486
Actually, on 386, cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local fall back on
cmpxchg_386_u8/16/32: it disables interruptions around non atomic
updates to mimic the cmpxchg behavior.
The comment:
/* Poor man's cmpxchg for 386. Unsuitable for SMP */
already present in cmpxchg_386_u32 tells much about how this cmpxchg
implementation should not be used in a SMP context. However, the cmpxchg_local
can perfectly use this fallback, since it only needs to be atomic wrt the local
cpu.
This patch adds a cmpxchg_486_u64 and uses it as a fallback for cmpxchg64
and cmpxchg64_local on 80386 and 80486.
Q:
but why is it called cmpxchg_486 when the other functions are called
A:
Because the standard cmpxchg is missing only on 386, but cmpxchg8b is
missing both on 386 and 486.
Citing Intel's Instruction set reference:
cmpxchg:
This instruction is not supported on Intel processors earlier than the
Intel486 processors.
cmpxchg8b:
This instruction encoding is not supported on Intel processors earlier
than the Pentium processors.
Q:
What's the reason to have cmpxchg64_local on 32 bit architectures?
Without that need all this would just be a few simple defines.
A:
cmpxchg64_local on 32 bits architectures takes unsigned long long
parameters, but cmpxchg_local only takes longs. Since we have cmpxchg8b
to execute a 8 byte cmpxchg atomically on pentium and +, it makes sense
to provide a flavor of cmpxchg and cmpxchg_local using this instruction.
Also, for 32 bits architectures lacking the 64 bits atomic cmpxchg, it
makes sense _not_ to define cmpxchg64 while cmpxchg could still be
available.
Moreover, the fallback for cmpxchg8b on i386 for 386 and 486 is a
However, cmpxchg64_local will be emulated by disabling interrupts on all
architectures where it is not supported atomically.
Therefore, we *could* turn cmpxchg64_local into a cmpxchg_local, but it
would make the 386/486 fallbacks ugly, make its design different from
cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 (which really depends on atomic operations and cannot
be emulated) and require the __cmpxchg_local to be expressed as a macro
rather than an inline function so the parameters would not be fixed to
unsigned long long in every case.
So I think cmpxchg64_local makes sense there, but I am open to
suggestions.
Q:
Are there any callers?
A:
I am actually using it in LTTng in my timestamping code. I use it to
work around CPUs with asynchronous TSCs. I need to update 64 bits
values atomically on this 32 bits architecture.

x86: 64-bit, make sparsemem vmemmap the only memory model
Use sparsemem as the only memory model for UP, SMP and NUMA. Measurements
indicate that DISCONTIGMEM has a higher overhead than sparsemem. And
FLATMEMs benefits are minimal. So I think its best to simply standardize
on sparsemem.
Results of page allocator tests (test can be had via git from slab git

Measurements in cycle counts. 1000 allocations were performed and then the
average cycle count was calculated.
Sanitize user specified e820 memory ranges, using the same logic that is
applied to the values returned by the BIOS. This ensures consistent
handling regardless of the source of the memory mappings.
Allows overriding portions of the memory map without specifying one in
it's entirety (memmap=exactmap).
