perf/x86/intel: Fix Core2,Atom,NHM,WSM cycles:pp events

2015-05-06T20:01:40+00:00

commit 517e6341fa123ec3a2f9ea78ad547be910529881 upstream.

Ingo reported that cycles:pp didn't work for him on some machines.

It turns out that in this commit:

  af4bdcf675cf perf/x86/intel: Disallow flags for most Core2/Atom/Nehalem/Westmere events

Andi forgot to explicitly allow that event when he
disabled event flags for PEBS on those uarchs.

sched/idle/x86: Optimize unnecessary mwait_idle() resched IPIs

2015-05-06T20:01:40+00:00

commit f8e617f4582995f7c25ef25b4167213120ad122b upstream.

To fully take advantage of MWAIT, apparently the CLFLUSH instruction needs
another quirk on certain CPUs: proper barriers around it on certain machines.

On a Q6600 SMP system, pipe-test scheduling performance, cross core,
improves significantly:

  3.8.13                   487.2 KHz    1.000
  3.13.0-master            415.5 KHz     .852
  3.13.0-master+           415.2 KHz     .852     + restore mwait_idle
  3.13.0-master++          488.5 KHz    1.002     + restore mwait_idle + IPI fix

Since X86_BUG_CLFLUSH_MONITOR is already a quirk, don't create a separate
quirk for the extra smp_mb()s.

sched/idle/x86: Restore mwait_idle() to fix boot hangs, to improve power savings and to improve performance

2015-05-06T20:01:39+00:00

commit b253149b843f89cd300cbdbea27ce1f847506f99 upstream.

In Linux-3.9 we removed the mwait_idle() loop:

  69fb3676df33 ("x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param")

The reasoning was that modern machines should be sufficiently
happy during the boot process using the default_idle() HALT
loop, until cpuidle loads and either acpi_idle or intel_idle
invoke the newer MWAIT-with-hints idle loop.

But two machines reported problems:

 1. Certain Core2-era machines support MWAIT-C1 and HALT only.
    MWAIT-C1 is preferred for optimal power and performance.
    But if they support just C1, cpuidle never loads and
    so they use the boot-time default idle loop forever.

 2. Some laptops will boot-hang if HALT is used,
    but will boot successfully if MWAIT is used.
    This appears to be a hidden assumption in BIOS SMI,
    that is presumably valid on the proprietary OS
    where the BIOS was validated.

       https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60770

So here we effectively revert the patch above, restoring
the mwait_idle() loop.  However, we don't bother restoring
the idle=mwait cmdline parameter, since it appears to add
no value.

Maintainer notes:

  For 3.9, simply revert 69fb3676df
  for 3.10, patch -F3 applies, fuzz needed due to __cpuinit use in
  context For 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, this patch applies cleanly

x86/reboot: Add ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard reboot quirk

2015-04-19T08:10:20+00:00

commit 80313b3078fcd2ca51970880d90757f05879a193 upstream.

The ASRock Q1900DC-ITX mainboard (Baytrail-D) hangs randomly in
both BIOS and UEFI mode while rebooting unless reboot=pci is
used. Add a quirk to reboot via the pci method.

The problem is very intermittent and hard to debug, it might succeed
rebooting just fine 40 times in a row - but fails half a dozen times
the next day. It seems to be slightly less common in BIOS CSM mode
than native UEFI (with the CSM disabled), but it does happen in either
mode. Since I've started testing this patch in late january, rebooting
has been 100% reliable.

Most of the time it already hangs during POST, but occasionally it
might even make it through the bootloader and the kernel might even
start booting, but then hangs before the mode switch. The same symptoms
occur with grub-efi, gummiboot and grub-pc, just as well as (at least)
kernel 3.16-3.19 and 4.0-rc6 (I haven't tried older kernels than 3.16).
Upgrading to the most current mainboard firmware of the ASRock
Q1900DC-ITX, version 1.20, does not improve the situation.

( Searching the web seems to suggest that other Bay Trail-D mainboards
  might be affected as well. )

x86/apic/numachip: Fix sibling map with NumaChip

2015-03-26T12:59:48+00:00

commit c8a470cab030bae8f9e6e5cfff72b047b7c627a7 upstream.

On NumaChip systems, the physical processor ID assignment wasn't
accounting for the number of nodes in AMD multi-module
processors, giving an incorrect sibling map:

  $ cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu29/topology
  $ grep . *
  core_id:5
  core_siblings:00000000,ff000000
  core_siblings_list:24-31
  physical_package_id:3
  thread_siblings:00000000,30000000
  thread_siblings_list:28-29

This fixes it:

  $ cd /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu29/topology
  $ grep . *
  core_id:5
  core_siblings:00000000,ffff0000
  core_siblings_list:16-31
  physical_package_id:1
  thread_siblings:00000000,30000000

x86/fpu: Avoid math_state_restore() without used_math() in __restore_xstate_sig()

2015-03-26T12:59:47+00:00

commit a7c80ebcac3068b1c3cb27d538d29558c30010c8 upstream.

math_state_restore() assumes it is called with irqs disabled,
but this is not true if the caller is __restore_xstate_sig().

This means that if ia32_fxstate == T and __copy_from_user()
fails, __restore_xstate_sig() returns with irqs disabled too.

This triggers:

  BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/rwsem.c:41
   dump_stack
   ___might_sleep
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   __might_sleep
   down_read
   ? _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   print_vma_addr
   signal_fault
   sys32_rt_sigreturn

Change __restore_xstate_sig() to call set_used_math()
unconditionally. This avoids enabling and disabling interrupts
in math_state_restore(). If copy_from_user() fails, we can
simply do fpu_finit() by hand.

[ Note: this is only the first step. math_state_restore() should
        not check used_math(), it should set this flag. While
	init_fpu() should simply die. ]

x86/asm/entry/64: Remove a bogus 'ret_from_fork' optimization

2015-03-18T13:10:57+00:00

commit 956421fbb74c3a6261903f3836c0740187cf038b upstream.

'ret_from_fork' checks TIF_IA32 to determine whether 'pt_regs' and
the related state make sense for 'ret_from_sys_call'.  This is
entirely the wrong check.  TS_COMPAT would make a little more
sense, but there's really no point in keeping this optimization
at all.

This fixes a return to the wrong user CS if we came from int
0x80 in a 64-bit task.

x86/spinlocks/paravirt: Fix memory corruption on unlock

2015-03-06T22:57:42+00:00

commit d6abfdb2022368d8c6c4be3f11a06656601a6cc2 upstream.

Paravirt spinlock clears slowpath flag after doing unlock.
As explained by Linus currently it does:

                prev = *lock;
                add_smp(&lock->tickets.head, TICKET_LOCK_INC);

                /* add_smp() is a full mb() */

                if (unlikely(lock->tickets.tail & TICKET_SLOWPATH_FLAG))
                        __ticket_unlock_slowpath(lock, prev);

which is *exactly* the kind of things you cannot do with spinlocks,
because after you've done the "add_smp()" and released the spinlock
for the fast-path, you can't access the spinlock any more.  Exactly
because a fast-path lock might come in, and release the whole data
structure.

Linus suggested that we should not do any writes to lock after unlock(),
and we can move slowpath clearing to fastpath lock.

So this patch implements the fix with:

 1. Moving slowpath flag to head (Oleg):
    Unlocked locks don't care about the slowpath flag; therefore we can keep
    it set after the last unlock, and clear it again on the first (try)lock.
    -- this removes the write after unlock. note that keeping slowpath flag would
    result in unnecessary kicks.
    By moving the slowpath flag from the tail to the head ticket we also avoid
    the need to access both the head and tail tickets on unlock.

 2. use xadd to avoid read/write after unlock that checks the need for
    unlock_kick (Linus):
    We further avoid the need for a read-after-release by using xadd;
    the prev head value will include the slowpath flag and indicate if we
    need to do PV kicking of suspended spinners -- on modern chips xadd
    isn't (much) more expensive than an add + load.
