We create a version of it for i386, and then take the CONFIG_X86_64 ifdef out of the game. We could create a __setup_vector_irq for i386, but it would incur in an unnecessary lock taking. Moreover, it is better practice to only export setup_vector_irq anyway. Signed-off-by:

The stepping won't affect x86_64, since there are not x86_64 k7's or pentiums. So, although it adds to the binary size, remove the ifdef for smoother integration Signed-off-by:

x86_64 jumps to whatever is written in "initial_code" symbol, instead of a fixed address. Do it for i386 too. It will allow us to integrate more of the smp boot code. Signed-off-by:

i386 and x86_64 used two different schemes for maintaining the gdt. With this patch, x86_64 initial gdt table is defined in a .c file, same way as i386 is now. Also, we call it "gdt_page", and the descriptor, "early_gdt_descr". This way we achieve common naming, which can allow for more code integration. Signed-off-by:

call x86_64's init_rsp stack_start, just as i386 does. Put a zeroed stack segment for consistency. With this, we can eliminate one ugly ifdef in smpboot.c. Signed-off-by:

Making a variable page-aligned by using __attribute__((section(".data.page_aligned"))) is fragile because if sizeof(variable) is not also a multiple of page size, it leaves variables in the remainder of the section unaligned. This patch introduces two new qualifiers, __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss to set the section *and* the alignment of variables. This makes page-aligned variables more robust because the linker will make sure they're aligned properly. Unfortunately it requires *all* page-aligned data to use these macros... Signed-off-by: -

This patch moves the reserve_crashkernel() to setup.c and removes the architecture-specific version. Both versions were more or less the same. I tested it on both x86-64 and i386, with CONFIG_KEXEC on and off (so that it compiles). Signed-off-by:

Increase the maximum number of apics when running very large configurations. This patch has no affect on most systems. The patch has no effect on any 32-bit kernel. It adds ~4k to the size of 64-bit kernels but only if NR_CPUS > 255. Signed-off-by:

physid_mask_of_physid() causes a huge stack (12k) to be created if the number of APICS is large. Replace physid_mask_of_physid() with a new function that does not create large stacks. This is a problem only on large x86_64 systems. this paves the way to increase MAX_APICS. Signed-off-by:

TLB shootdown for SGI UV. Depends on patch (in tip/x86/irq): x86-update-macros-used-by-uv-platform.patch Jack Steiner May 29 This patch provides the ability to flush TLB's in cpu's that are not on the local node. The hardware mechanism for distributing the flush messages is the UV's "broadcast assist unit". The hook to intercept TLB shootdown requests is a 2-line change to native_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_64.c). This code has been tested on a hardware simulator. The real hardware is not yet available. The shootdown statistics are provided through /proc/sgi_uv/ptc_statistics. The use of /sys was considered, but would have required the use of many /sys files. The debugfs was also considered, but these statistics should be available on an ongoing basis, not just for debugging. Issues to be fixed later: - The IRQ for the messaging interrupt is currently hardcoded as 200 (see UV_BAU_MESSAGE). It should be dynamically assigned in the future. - The use of appropriate udelay()'s is untested, as they are a problem in the simulator. Signed-off-by:

This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem() to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA machines, see 00212fef: [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel. The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that had NUMA ifdef'ed out. I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off) in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations. Signed-off-by:

Bernhard Walle authored
This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit 72a7fe39. It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that function. The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic() for crashkernel reservation. Signed-off-by:

* Remove the boot_cpu_pda array and pointer table from the data section. Allocate the pointer table and array during init. do_boot_cpu() will reallocate the pda in node local memory and if the cpu is being brought up before the bootmem array is released (after_bootmem = 0), then it will free the initial pda. This will happen for all cpus present at system startup. This removes 512k + 32k bytes from the data section. For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

* Consolidate node_to_cpumask operations and remove the 256k byte node_to_cpumask_map. This is done by allocating the node_to_cpumask_map array after the number of possible nodes (nr_node_ids) is known. * Debug printouts when CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is active have been increased. It now shows faults when calling node_to_cpumask() and node_to_cpumask_ptr(). For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

* Restore the nodenumber field in the x86_64 pda. This field is slightly different than the x86_cpu_to_node_map mainly because it's a static indication of which node the cpu is on while the cpu to node map is a dyanamic mapping that may get reset if the cpu goes offline. This also simplifies the numa_node_id() macro. For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

* Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU". This is used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed before there are per_cpu areas allocated. ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu areas have been setup".] This patchset adds these new macros: DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue) EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name) DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name) early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx) early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early map and pointer. It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map elements to "_initvalue". The early_* macros provide access to the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early pointer. This pointer is initialized to point to the early map but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup. After that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable. The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to access the variable if you have a function that can be called both "early" and "late". It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not then it's still valid. Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used instead: #define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) \ (early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ? \ early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] : \ per_cpu(_name, _cpu)) A better method is to actually check the pointer manually. In the case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late": void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node) { int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map); if (cpu_to_node_map) cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node; else per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node; } * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers to topology cpumask_t maps are available. Otherwise, use the function returning the cpumask_t value. This is useful if cpumask_t set size is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack. * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while the non-debug case has been optimized a bit. * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.
