x86/apic/x2apic: Use multiple cluster members for the irq destination only with the explicit affinity During boot or driver load etc, interrupt destination is setup using default target cpu's. Later the user (irqbalance etc) or the driver (irq_set_affinity/ irq_set_affinity_hint) can request the interrupt to be migrated to some specific set of cpu's. In the x2apic cluster routing, for the default scenario use single cpu as the interrupt destination and when there is an explicit interrupt affinity request, route the interrupt to multiple members of a x2apic cluster specified in the cpumask of the migration request. This will minmize the vector pressure when there are lot of interrupt sources and relatively few x2apic clusters (for example a single socket server). This will allow the performance critical interrupts to be routed to multiple cpu's in the x2apic cluster (irqbalance for example uses the cache siblings etc while specifying the interrupt destination) and allow non-critical interrupts to be serviced by a single logical cpu.

For the x2apic cluster mode, vector for an interrupt is currently reserved on all the cpu's that are part of the x2apic cluster. But the interrupts will be routed only to the cluster (derived from the first cpu in the mask) members specified in the mask. So there is no need to reserve the vector in the unused cluster members. Modify __assign_irq_vector() to reserve the vectors based on the user specified irq destination mask. If the new mask is a proper subset of the currently used mask, cleanup the vector allocation on the unused cpu members. Also, allow the apic driver to tune the vector domain based on the affinity mask (which in most cases is the user-specified mask). Signed-off-by:

Currently __assign_irq_vector() goes through each cpu in the specified mask until it finds a free vector in all the cpu's that are part of the same interrupt domain. We visit all the interrupt domain sibling cpus to reserve the free vector. So, when we fail to find a free vector in an interrupt domain, it is safe to continue our search with a cpu belonging to a new interrupt domain. No need to go through each cpu, if the domain containing that cpu is already visited. Use the irq_cfg's old_domain to track the visited domains and optimize the cpu traversal while finding a free vector in the given cpumask. NOTE: We can also optimize the search by using for_each_cpu() and skip the current cpu, if it is not the first cpu in the mask returned by the vector_allocation_domain(). But re-using the cfg->old_domain to track the visited domains will be slightly faster. Signed-off-by:

Move the ->irq_set_affinity() routines out of the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP sections and use config_enabled(CONFIG_SMP) checks inside those routines. Thus making those routines simple null stubs for !CONFIG_SMP and retaining those routines with no additional runtime overhead for CONFIG_SMP kernels.

vSMP can route interrupts more optimally based on internal knowledge the OS does not have. In order to support this optimization, all CPUs must be able to handle all possible IOAPIC interrupts. Fix this by setting the vector allocation domain for all CPUs and by enabling this feature in vSMP. Signed-off-by:

Currently cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with the cpumask. Otherwise some apic drivers might try to access non-existent per-cpu variables (i.e. x2apic). In that regard cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operations are inconsistent. This fix makes the two operations do not rely on calling functions and always return the apicid for only online CPUs. As result, the meaning and implementations of cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operations become straight. Signed-off-by:

Current cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() implementations have few shortcomings: 1. A value returned by cpu_mask_to_apicid() is written to hardware registers unconditionally. Should BAD_APICID get ever returned it will be written to a hardware too. But the value of BAD_APICID is not universal across all hardware in all modes and might cause unexpected results, i.e. interrupts might get routed to CPUs that are not configured to receive it. 2. Because the value of BAD_APICID is not universal it is counter- intuitive to return it for a hardware where it does not make sense (i.e. x2apic). 3. cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operation is thought as an complement to cpu_mask_to_apicid() that only applies a AND mask on top of a cpumask being passed. Yet, as consequence of 18374d89 commit the two operations are inconsistent in that of: cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with the cpumask cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() should not fail and return BAD_APICID These limitations are impossible to realize just from looking at the operations prototypes. Most of these shortcomings are resolved by returning a error code instead of BAD_APICID. As the result, faults are reported back early rather than possibilities to cause a unexpected behaviour exist (in case of [1]). The only exception is setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() routine. Although obviously controversial to this fix, its existing behaviour is preserved to not break the fragile check_timer() and would better addressed in a separate fix. Signed-off-by:

In case of static vector allocation domains (i.e. flat) if all vector numbers are exhausted, an attempt to assign a new vector will lead to useless scans through all CPUs in the cpumask, even though it is known that each new pass would fail. Make this corner case less painful by letting report whether the vector allocation domain depends on passed arguments or not and stop scanning early. The same could have been achived by introducing a static flag to the apic operations. But let's allow vector_allocation_domain() have more intelligence here and decide dynamically, in case we would need it in the future. Signed-off-by:

When assigning a new vector it is primarially done by adding 8 to the previously given out vector number. Hence, two consequently allocated vector numbers would likely fall into the same priority level. Try to spread vector numbers to different priority levels better by changing the step from 8 to 16.

x86/x2apic/cluster: Use all the members of one cluster specified in the smp_affinity mask for the interrupt destination If the HW implements round-robin interrupt delivery, this enables multiple cpu's (which are part of the user specified interrupt smp_affinity mask and belong to the same x2apic cluster) to service the interrupt. Also if the platform supports Power Aware Interrupt Routing, then this enables the interrupt to be routed to an idle cpu or a busy cpu depending on the perf/power bias tunable. We are now grouping all the cpu's in a cluster to one vector domain. So that will limit the total number of interrupt sources handled by Linux. Previously we support "cpu-count * available-vectors-per-cpu" interrupt sources but this will now reduce to "cpu-count/16 * available-vectors-per-cpu". Signed-off-by:

Until now, irq_cfg domain is mostly static. Either all CPU's (used by flat mode) or one CPU (first CPU in the irq afffinity mask) to which irq is being migrated (this is used by the rest of apic modes). Upcoming x2apic cluster mode optimization patch allows the irq to be sent to any CPU in the x2apic cluster (if supported by the HW). So irq_cfg domain changes on the fly (depending on which CPU in the x2apic cluster is online). Instead of checking for any intersection between the new irq affinity mask and the current irq_cfg domain, check if the new irq affinity mask is a subset of the current irq_cfg domain. Otherwise proceed with updating the irq_cfg domain aswell as assigning vector's on all the CPUs specified in the new mask. This also cleans up a workaround in updating irq_cfg domain for legacy irq's that are handled by the IO-APIC. Signed-off-by:

Cyrill Gorcunov reports that I broke the fdinfo files with commit 30a08bf2 ("proc: move fd symlink i_mode calculations into tid_fd_revalidate()"), and he's quite right. The tid_fd_revalidate() function is not just used for the <tid>/fd symlinks, it's also used for the <tid>/fdinfo/<fd> files, and the permission model for those are different. So do the dynamic symlink permission handling just for symlinks, making the fdinfo files once more appear as the proper regular files they are. Of course, Al Viro argued (probably correctly) that we shouldn't do the symlink permission games at all, and make the symlinks always just be the normal 'lrwxrwxrwx'. That would have avoided this issue too, but since somebody noticed that the permissions had changed (which was the reason for that original commit 30a08bf2 in the first place), people do apparently use this feature. [ Basically, you can use the symlink permission data as a cheap "fdinfo" replacement, since you see whether the file is open for reading and/or writing by just looking at st_mode of the symlink. So the feature does make sense, even if the pain it has caused means we probably shouldn't have done it to begin with. ] Reported-and-tested-by:
