x86/percpu: Move current_top_of_stack next to current_task

2022-10-17T14:41:05+00:00

Extend the struct pcpu_hot cacheline with current_top_of_stack;
another very frequently used value.

x86: Put hot per CPU variables into a struct

2022-10-17T14:41:03+00:00

The layout of per-cpu variables is at the mercy of the compiler. This
can lead to random performance fluctuations from build to build.

Create a structure to hold some of the hottest per-cpu variables,
starting with current_task.

x86/prctl: Remove pointless task argument

2022-05-13T10:56:28+00:00

The functions invoked via do_arch_prctl_common() can only operate on
the current task and none of these function uses the task argument.

x86/fpu: Move context switch and exit to user inlines into sched.h

2021-10-20T13:27:27+00:00

internal.h is a kitchen sink which needs to get out of the way to prepare
for the upcoming changes.

Move the context switch and exit to user inlines into a separate header,
which is all that code needs.

x86/dumpstack: Add log_lvl to __show_regs()

2020-07-22T21:56:53+00:00

show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind
backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are
not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always
used.

Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only
urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything
else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently
slow (9600 bps).

Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as
morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED
(which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1])
the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping
functions. Besides, there is a potential use-case for printing traces
with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with
higher log level).

Add log_lvl parameter to __show_regs().
Keep the used log level intact to separate visible change.

mm: don't include asm/pgtable.h if linux/mm.h is already included

2020-06-09T16:39:13+00:00

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.

The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once.  For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.

Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.

static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
        return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}

static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
        return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}

These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.

For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.

These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.

This patch (of 12):

The linux/mm.h header includes  to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g.  pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc().  So, there is no point to explicitly include 
in the files that include .

The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:

	for f in $(git grep -l "include ") ; do
		sed -i -e '/include / d' $f
	done

x86/resctrl: Rename asm/resctrl_sched.h to asm/resctrl.h

2020-05-06T15:45:22+00:00

asm/resctrl_sched.h is dedicated to the code used for configuration
of the CPU resource control state when a task is scheduled.

Rename resctrl_sched.h to resctrl.h in preparation of additions that
will no longer make this file dedicated to work done during scheduling.

No functional change.
