x86_64: mcelog tolerant level cleanup
Background:
The MCE handler has several paths that it can take, depending on various
conditions of the MCE status and the value of the 'tolerant' knob. The
exact semantics are not well defined and the code is a bit twisty.
Description:
This patch makes the MCE handler's behavior more clear by documenting the
behavior for various 'tolerant' levels. It also fixes or enhances
several small things in the handler. Specifically:
* If RIPV is set it is not safe to restart, so set the 'no way out'
flag rather than the 'kill it' flag.
* Don't panic() on correctable MCEs.
* If the _OVER bit is set *and* the _UC bit is set (meaning possibly
dropped uncorrected errors), set the 'no way out' flag.
* Use EIPV for testing whether an app can be killed (SIGBUS) rather
than RIPV. According to docs, EIPV indicates that the error is
related to the IP, while RIPV simply means the IP is valid to
restart from.
* Don't clear the MCi_STATUS registers until after the panic() path.
This leaves the status bits set after the panic() so clever BIOSes
can find them (and dumb BIOSes can do nothing).
This patch also calls nonseekable_open() in mce_open (as suggested by akpm).
Result:
Tolerant levels behave almost identically to how they always have, but
not it's well defined. There's a slightly higher chance of panic()ing
when multiple errors happen (a good thing, IMHO). If you take an MBE and
panic(), the error status bits are not cleared.
Alternatives:
None.
Testing:
I used software to inject correctable and uncorrectable errors. With
tolerant = 3, the system usually survives. With tolerant = 2, the system
usually panic()s (PCC) but not always. With tolerant = 1, the system
always panic()s. When the system panic()s, the BIOS is able to detect
that the cause of death was an MC4. I was not able to reproduce the
case of a non-PCC error in userspace, with EIPV, with (tolerant < 3).
That will be rare at best.

x86_64: support poll() on /dev/mcelog
Background:
/dev/mcelog is typically polled manually. This is less than optimal for
situations where accurate accounting of MCEs is important. Calling
poll() on /dev/mcelog does not work.
Description:
This patch adds support for poll() to /dev/mcelog. This results in
immediate wakeup of user apps whenever the poller finds MCEs. Because
the exception handler can not take any locks, it can not call the wakeup
itself. Instead, it uses a thread_info flag (TIF_MCE_NOTIFY) which is
caught at the next return from interrupt or exit from idle, calling the
mce_user_notify() routine. This patch also disables the "fake panic"
path of the mce_panic(), because it results in printk()s in the exception
handler and crashy systems.
This patch also does some small cleanup for essentially unused variables,
and moves the user notification into the body of the poller, so it is
only called once per poll, rather than once per CPU.
Result:
Applications can now poll() on /dev/mcelog. When an error is logged
(whether through the poller or through an exception) the applications are
woken up promptly. This should not affect any previous behaviors. If no
MCEs are being logged, there is no overhead.
Alternatives:
I considered simply supporting poll() through the poller and not using
TIF_MCE_NOTIFY at all. However, the time between an uncorrectable error
happening and the user application being notified is *the*most* critical
window for us. Many uncorrectable errors can be logged to the network if
given a chance.
I also considered doing the MCE poll directly from the idle notifier, but
decided that was overkill.
Testing:
I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors
and verified that my user app is woken up in sync with the polling interval.
I also used the northbridge to inject uncorrectable ECC errors, and
verified (printk() to the rescue) that the notify routine is called and the
user app does wake up. I built with PREEMPT on and off, and verified
that my machine survives MCEs.

If we simply iterate over all apicid_to_node[] members for each node, we risk

x86_64: fake pxm-to-node mapping for fake numa
For NUMA emulation, our SLIT should represent the true NUMA topology of the
system but our proximity domain to node ID mapping needs to reflect the
emulated state.
When NUMA emulation has successfully setup fake nodes on the system, a new
function, acpi_fake_nodes() is called. This function determines the proximity
domain (_PXM) for each true node found on the system. It then finds which
emulated nodes have been allocated on this true node as determined by its
starting address. The node ID to PXM mapping is changed so that each fake
node ID points to the PXM of the true node that it is located on.
If the machine failed to register a SLIT, then we assume there is no special
requirement for emulated node affinity so we use the default LOCAL_DISTANCE,
which is newly exported to this code, as our measurement if the emulated nodes
appear in the same PXM. Otherwise, we use REMOTE_DISTANCE.
PXM_INVAL and NID_INVAL are also exported to the ACPI header file so that we
can compare node_to_pxm() results in generic code (in this case, the SRAT
code).

e820_hole_size() is called from the NUMA emulation code to determine the
reserved area within an address range on a per-node basis. Its logic should
duplicate that of finding active regions in an e820 entry because these are
the only true ranges we may register anyway.

Too many remote cpu references due to /proc/stat.
On x86_64, with newer kernel versions, kstat_irqs is a bit of a problem.
On every call to kstat_irqs, the process brings in per-cpu data from all
online cpus. Doing this for NR_IRQS, which is now 256 + 32 * NR_CPUS
results in (256+32*63) * 63 remote cpu references on a 64 cpu config.
/proc/stat is parsed by common commands like top, who etc, causing lots
of cacheline transfers

x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu
This implements new vDSO for x86-64. The concept is similar
to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC. x86-64 has had static
vsyscalls before, but these are not flexible enough anymore.
A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into
user address space. The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process
for security reasons.
Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime
always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed
address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write.
The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0
It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized
clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster
than the one in the old vsyscall. clock_gettime is significantly faster
than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME.
The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall.
Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls:
- Extensible
- Randomized
- Cleaner
- Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes
overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it)
Weak points:
- glibc support still to be written
The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.
gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any
path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc
will try to generate smaller code for the function itself.
Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most
cases it is not worth uglifying code with this.
This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk()
as cold. This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although
we can keep them for now for older compilers.
BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell
gcc to mark a inline function told.
Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os
build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code
for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels,
but that might change in the future.
One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented
to verify them.
Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this.
Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older
snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are
unreleased compilers that nobody should be using.
gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using
this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able
to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os,
if that happens it should be added.
i386: Move all simple string operations out of line
The compiler generally generates reasonable inline code for the simple
cases and for the rest it's better for code size for them to be out of line.
Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future.
In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure
assembly, but that's for another day.
Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems
to be the last untouched really early Linux code)
This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1.

x86_64: various cleanups in NUMA scan node
In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa <= 0, meaning

acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only
referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and
remove their prototypes from the header file.
Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within
drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs
from the header file.
The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's

Linux 64bit only uses the IO-APIC ID as an internal cookie. In the future
there could be some cases where the IO-APIC IDs are not unique because
they share an 8 bit space with CPUs and if there are enough CPUs
it is difficult to get them that. But Linux needs the io apic ID
internally for its data structures. Assign unique IO APIC ids on
table parsing.

clockevents: fix device replacement
When a device is replaced by a better rated device, then the broadcast
mode needs to be evaluated again. When the new device has no requirement
for broadcasting, then the broadcast bits for the CPU must be cleared.

coda: remove CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcalls
This is an variation on the patch sent by Christoph Hellwig which kills
file_count abuse by the Coda kernel module by moving the coda_flush
functionality into coda_release. However part of reason we were using the
coda_flush callback was to allow Coda to pass errors that occur during
writeback from the userspace cache manager back to close().
As Al Viro explained on linux-fsdevel, it is impossible to guarantee that
such errors can in fact be returned back to the caller. There are many
cases where the last reference to a file is not released by the close
system call and it is also impossible to pick some close as a 'last-close'
and delay it until all other references have been destroyed.
The CODA_STORE/CODA_RELEASE upcall combination is clearly a broken design,
and it is better to remove it completely.

nommu: vmalloc_32_user()/vm_insert_page() and symbol exports.
Trying to survive an allmodconfig on a nommu platform results in many
screen lengths of module unhappiness. Many of the mmap related things that
binfmt_flat hooks in to are never exported despite being global, and there
are also missing definitions for vmalloc_32_user() and vm_insert_page().
I've implemented vmalloc_32_user() trying to stick as close to the
mm/vmalloc.c implementation as possible, though we don't have any need for
VM_USERMAP, so groveling for the VMA can be skipped. vm_insert_page() has
been stubbed for now in order to keep the build happy.

If the swiotlb maps a multi-slab region, swiotlb_sync_single_range() can be
invoked to sync a sub-region which does not include the first slab.
Unfortunately io_tlb_orig_addr[] is only initialised for the first slab,
and hence the call to sync_single() will read a garbage orig_addr in this
case.
This patch fixes the issue by initialising all mapped slabs in
io_tlb_orig_addr[]. It also correctly adjusts the buffer pointer in
sync_single() to handle the case that the given dma_addr is not aligned on
a slab boundary.
