x86, cpu: Fix cache topology for early P4-SMT

2014-07-23T15:16:17+00:00

P4 systems with cpuid level < 4 can have SMT, but the cache topology
description available (cpuid2) does not include SMP information.

Now we know that SMT shares all cache levels, and therefore we can
mark all available cache levels as shared.

We do this by setting cpu_llc_id to ->phys_proc_id, since that's
the same for each SMT thread. We can do this unconditional since if
there's no SMT its still true, the one CPU shares cache with only
itself.

This fixes a problem where such CPUs report an incorrect LLC CPU mask.

This in turn fixes a crash in the scheduler where the topology was
build wrong, it assumes the LLC mask to include at least the SMT CPUs.

x86, intel, cacheinfo: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration

2014-03-20T12:43:43+00:00

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the intel cacheinfo code in x86 by using this latter form of callback
registration.

x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files

2013-07-14T23:36:56+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

x86/intel/cacheinfo: Shut up last long-standing warning

2013-06-20T10:27:41+00:00

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c: In function ‘init_intel_cacheinfo’:
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:642:28: warning: ‘this_leaf.size’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:643:29: warning: ‘this_leaf.eax.split.num_threads_sharing’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

This keeps on happening during randbuilds and the compiler is
wrong here:

In the case where cpuid4_cache_lookup_regs() returns 0, both
this_leaf.size and this_leaf.eax get initialized. In the case
where the CPUID leaf doesn't contain valid cache info, we error
out which init_intel_cacheinfo() handles correctly without
touching the abovementioned fields.

So shut up the warning by clearing out the struct which we hand
down.

While at it, reverse error handling and gain one indentation
level.

x86/intel/cacheinfo: Shut up annoying warning

2013-02-04T10:29:52+00:00

I've been getting the following warning when doing randbuilds
since forever. Now it finally pissed me off just the perfect
amount so that I can fix it.

  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:489:27: warning: ‘cache_disable_0’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]
  arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:491:27: warning: ‘cache_disable_1’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable] arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_cacheinfo.c:524:27: warning: ‘subcaches’ defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]

It happens because in randconfigs where CONFIG_SYSFS is not set,
the whole sysfs-interface to L3 cache index disabling is
remaining unused and gcc correctly warns about it. Make it
optional, depending on CONFIG_SYSFS too, as is the case with
other sysfs-related machinery in this file.

x86, cacheinfo: Base cache sharing info on CPUID 0x8000001d on AMD

2012-11-13T19:22:31+00:00

The patch is based on a patch submitted by Hans Rosenfeld.
See http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=133908777200931

Note that  CPUID Fn8000_001D_EAX slightly differs to Intel's CPUID function 4.

Bits 14-25 contain NumSharingCache. Actual number of cores sharing
           this cache. SW to add value of one to get result.

The corresponding bits on Intel are defined as "maximum number of threads
sharing this cache" (with a "plus 1" encoding).

Thus a different method to determine which cores are sharing a cache
level has to be used.
