      x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries · be6cb027
      Ingo Molnar authored
      The following NOP in a hot function caught my attention:
      
        >   5a:	66 0f 1f 44 00 00    	nopw   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
      
      That's a dead NOP that bloats the function a bit, added for the
      default 16-byte alignment that GCC applies for jump targets.
      
      I realize that x86 CPU manufacturers recommend 16-byte jump
      target alignments (it's in the Intel optimization manual),
      to help their relatively narrow decoder prefetch alignment
      and uop cache constraints, but the cost of that is very
      significant:
      
              text           data       bss         dec      filename
          12566391        1617840   1089536    15273767      vmlinux.align.16-byte
          12224951        1617840   1089536    14932327      vmlinux.align.1-byte
      
      By using 1-byte jump target alignment (i.e. no alignment at all)
      we get an almost 3% reduction in kernel size (!) - and a
      probably similar reduction in I$ footprint.
      
      Now, the usual justification for jump target alignment is the
      following:
      
       - modern decoders tend to have 16-byte (effective) decoder
         prefetch windows. (AMD documents it higher but measurements
         suggest the effective prefetch window on curretn uarchs is
         still around 16 bytes)
      
       - on Intel there's also the uop-cache with cachelines that have
         16-byte granularity and limited associativity.
      
       - older x86 uarchs had a penalty for decoder fetches that crossed
         16-byte boundaries. These limits are mostly gone from recent
         uarchs.
      
      So if a forward jump target is aligned to cacheline boundary then
      prefetches will start from a new prefetch-cacheline and there's
      higher chance for decoding in fewer steps and packing tightly.
      
      But I think that argument is flawed for typical optimized kernel
      code flows: forward jumps often go to 'cold' (uncommon) pieces
      of code, and  aligning cold code to cache lines does not bring a
      lot of advantages  (they are uncommon), while it causes
      collateral damage:
      
       - their alignment 'spreads out' the cache footprint, it shifts
         followup hot code further out
      
       - plus it slows down even 'cold' code that immediately follows 'hot'
         code (like in the above case), which could have benefited from the
         partial cacheline that comes off the end of hot code.
      
      But even in the cache-hot case the 16 byte alignment brings
      disadvantages:
      
       - it spreads out the cache footprint, possibly making the code
         fall out of the L1 I$.
      
       - On Intel CPUs, recent microarchitectures have plenty of
         uop cache (typically doubling every 3 years) - while the
         size of the L1 cache grows much less aggressively. So
         workloads are rarely uop cache limited.
      
      The only situation where alignment might matter are tight
      loops that could fit into a single 16 byte chunk - but those
      are pretty rare in the kernel: if they exist they tend
      to be pointer chasing or generic memory ops, which both tend
      to be cache miss (or cache allocation) intensive and are not
      decoder bandwidth limited.
      
      So the balance of arguments strongly favors packing kernel
      instructions tightly versus maximizing for decoder bandwidth:
      this patch changes the jump target alignment from 16 bytes
      to 1 byte (tightly packed, unaligned).

      x86/alternatives: Switch AMD F15h and later to the P6 NOPs · f21262b8
      Borislav Petkov authored
      Software optimization guides for both F15h and F16h cite those
      NOPs as the optimal ones. A microbenchmark confirms that
      actually even older families are better with the single-insn
      NOPs so switch to them for the alternatives.
      
      Cycles count below includes the loop overhead of the measurement
      but that overhead is the same with all runs.

      x86/entry: Define 'cpu_current_top_of_stack' for 64-bit code · 3a23208e
      Denys Vlasenko authored
      32-bit code has PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack).
      64-bit code uses somewhat more obscure: PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_tss + TSS_sp0).
      
      Define the 'cpu_current_top_of_stack' macro on CONFIG_X86_64
      as well so that the PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack)
      expression can be used in both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

      PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack) is redundant:

      x86, selftests: Add a test for the "sysret_ss_attrs" bug · e22438f8
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      On AMD CPUs, SYSRET can return with a valid SS descriptor with
      with the hidden attributes set to an unusable state.  Make sure
      the kernel doesn't let this happen.  This detects an
      as-yet-unfixed regression.
      
      Note that the 64-bit version of this test fails on AMD CPUs on
      all kernel versions, although the issue in the 64-bit case is
      much less severe than in the 32-bit case.

      x86/asm/entry/64: Clean up usage of TEST insns · 03335e95
      Denys Vlasenko authored
      By the nature of TEST operation, it is often possible
      to test a narrower part of the operand:
      
          "testl $3, mem"  -> "testb $3, mem"
      
      This results in shorter insns, because TEST insn has no
      sign-entending byte-immediate forms unlike other ALU ops.

      pinctrl: Don't just pretend to protect pinctrl_maps, do it for real · c5272a28
      Doug Anderson authored
      Way back, when the world was a simpler place and there was no war, no
      evil, and no kernel bugs, there was just a single pinctrl lock.  That
      was how the world was when (57291ce2 pinctrl: core device tree mapping
      table parsing support) was written.  In that case, there were
      instances where the pinctrl mutex was already held when
      pinctrl_register_map() was called, hence a "locked" parameter was
      passed to the function to indicate that the mutex was already locked
      (so we shouldn't lock it again).
      
      A few years ago in (42fed7ba pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to
      pinctrl_dev struct), we switched to a separate pinctrl_maps_mutex.
      ...but (oops) we forgot to re-think about the whole "locked" parameter
      for pinctrl_register_map().  Basically the "locked" parameter appears
      to still refer to whether the bigger pinctrl_dev mutex is locked, but
      we're using it to skip locks of our (now separate) pinctrl_maps_mutex.
      
      That's kind of a bad thing(TM).  Probably nobody noticed because most
      of the calls to pinctrl_register_map happen at boot time and we've got
      synchronous device probing.  ...and even cases where we're
      asynchronous don't end up actually hitting the race too often.  ...but
      after banging my head against the wall for a bug that reproduced 1 out
      of 1000 reboots and lots of looking through kgdb, I finally noticed
      this.
      
      Anyway, we can now safely remove the "locked" parameter and go back to
      a war-free, evil-free, and kernel-bug-free world.

      xen: Add __GFP_DMA flag when xen_swiotlb_init gets free pages on ARM · 8746515d
      Stefano Stabellini authored
      Make sure that xen_swiotlb_init allocates buffers that are DMA capable
      when at least one memblock is available below 4G. Otherwise we assume
      that all devices on the SoC can cope with >4G addresses. We do this on
      ARM and ARM64, where dom0 is mapped 1:1, so pfn == mfn in this case.
      
      No functional changes on x86.

      x86/fpu: Always restore_xinit_state() when use_eager_cpu() · c88d4748
      Bobby Powers authored
      The following commit:
      
        f893959b ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()")
      
      removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread(). This seems to break
      things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all over the place with
      floating point comparision errors (offending commit found through
      bisection).
      
      The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit
      only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and
      !used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls
      restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply
      the same logic here.
      
      Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed
      tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread().

      x86/asm: Use -mskip-rax-setup if supported · d9ee948d
      H.J. Lu authored
      GCC 5 added a compiler option, -mskip-rax-setup, for x86-64. It skips
      setting up the RAX register when SSE is disabled and there are no
      variable arguments passed in vector registers. (According to the x86_64
      ABI, %al is used as a hidden register containing the number of vector
      registers used).
      
      Since the kernel doesn't pass vector registers to functions with
      variable arguments, this option can be used to optimize the x86-64
      kernel.
      
      This GCC feature was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>.
      This is the corresponding kernel change using it.
      
      For kernel v3.17:
      
            text   data    bss    dec       filename
        11455921 2204048 5853184 19513153   vmlinux #with -mskip-rax-setup
        11480079 2204048 5853184 19537311   vmlinux

      ipmi: Add alert handling to SSIF · 91620521
      Corey Minyard authored
      The SSIF interface can optionally have an SMBus alert come in when
      data is ready.  Unfortunately, the IPMI spec gives wiggle room to
      the implementer to allow them to always have the alert enabled,
      even if the driver doesn't enable it.  So implement alerts.
      If you don't in this situation, the SMBus alert handling will
      constantly complain.
