x86, fpu: Avoid FPU lazy restore after suspend

2012-11-30T21:48:05+00:00

When a cpu enters S3 state, the FPU state is lost.
After resuming for S3, if we try to lazy restore the FPU for a process running
on the same CPU, this will result in a corrupted FPU context.

Ensure that "fpu_owner_task" is properly invalided when (re-)initializing a CPU,
so nobody will try to lazy restore a state which doesn't exist in the hardware.

Tested with a 64-bit kernel on a 4-core Ivybridge CPU with eagerfpu=off,
by doing thousands of suspend/resume cycles with 4 processes doing FPU
operations running. Without the patch, a process is killed after a
few hundreds cycles by a SIGFPE.

x86/smp: Don't ever patch back to UP if we unplug cpus

2012-08-23T08:45:13+00:00

We still patch SMP instructions to UP variants if we boot with a
single CPU, but not at any other time.  In particular, not if we
unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu.

Paul McKenney points out:

 mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds.

 If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline
 path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds

Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the
code is pretty messy.

We get rid of:

 1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the
    documentation is wrong. It's now the default.

 2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend.

 3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end()
    which were only used to set this one flag.

x86: Add read_mostly declaration/definition to variables from smp.h

2012-06-14T10:42:11+00:00

Add "read-mostly" qualifier to the following variables in
smp.h:

 - cpu_sibling_map
 - cpu_core_map
 - cpu_llc_shared_map
 - cpu_llc_id
 - cpu_number
 - x86_cpu_to_apicid
 - x86_bios_cpu_apicid
 - x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid

As long as all the variables above are only written during the
initialization, this change is meant to prevent the false
sharing. More specifically, on vSMP Foundation platform
x86_cpu_to_apicid shared the same internode_cache_line with
frequently written lapic_events.

From the analysis of the first 33 per_cpu variables out of 219
(memories they describe, to be more specific) the 8 have read_mostly
nature (tlb_vector_offset, cpu_loops_per_jiffy, xen_debug_irq, etc.)
and 25 are frequently written (irq_stack_union, gdt_page,
exception_stacks, idt_desc, etc.).

Assuming that the spread of the rest of the per_cpu variables is
similar, identifying the read mostly memories will make more sense
in terms of long-term code maintenance comparing to identifying
frequently written memories.

x86/smp: Fix topology checks on AMD MCM CPUs

2012-06-13T12:56:12+00:00

The warning below triggers on AMD MCM packages because physical package
IDs on the cores of a _physical_ socket are the same. I.e., this field
says which CPUs belong to the same physical package.

However, the same two CPUs belong to two different internal, i.e.
"logical" nodes in the same physical socket which is reflected in the
CPU-to-node map on x86 with NUMA.

Which makes this check wrong on the above topologies so circumvent it.

sched/x86: Calculate booted cores after construction of sibling_mask

2012-06-06T14:37:59+00:00

Commit 316ad248307fb ("sched/x86: Rewrite set_cpu_sibling_map()")
broke the booted_cores accounting.

The problem is that the booted_cores accounting needs all the
sibling links set up. So restore the second loop and add a comment as
to why its needed.

On qemu booted with -smp sockets=1,cores=2,threads=2;
Before:
 $ grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 1
 cpu cores       : 4
 cpu cores       : 3

With the patch:
 $ grep cores /proc/cpuinfo
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
 cpu cores       : 2
