Move the find_smp_config() call to before bootmem is initialized. Use reserve_early() instead of reserve_bootmem() in it. This simplifies the code, we only need to call find_smp_config() once and can remove the now unneeded reserve parameter from x86_init_mpparse::find_smp_config. We thus also reduce x86's dependency on bootmem allocations. Signed-off-by:

is_untracked_pat_range() -- like its components, is_ISA_range() and is_GRU_range(), takes a normal semiclosed interval (>=, <) whereas the PAT code called it as if it took a closed range (>=, <=). Fix. Although this is a bug, I believe it is non-manifest, simply because none of the callers will call this with non-page-aligned addresses. Signed-off-by:

CPU to node mapping is set via the following sequence: 1. numa_init_array(): Set up roundrobin from cpu to online node 2. init_cpu_to_node(): Set that according to apicid_to_node[] according to srat only handle the node that is online, and leave other cpu on node without ram (aka not online) to still roundrobin. 3. later call srat_detect_node for Intel/AMD, will use first_online node or nearby node. Problem is that setup_per_cpu_areas() is not called between 2 and 3, the per_cpu for cpu on node with ram is on different node, and could put that on node with two hops away. So try to optimize this and add find_near_online_node() and call init_cpu_to_node(). Signed-off-by:

Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT (with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as the former can be easily calculated from it. To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA to account for last level cache line size (which here matters more than L1 cache line size). Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT, when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where GENERIC_CPU is part of the choice construct, X86_GENERIC is a separate option on ix86).

It is possible for x86_64 systems to lack the NX bit either due to the hardware lacking support or the BIOS having turned off the CPU capability, so NX status should be reported. Additionally, anyone booting NX-capable CPUs in 32bit mode without PAE will lack NX functionality, so this change provides feedback for that case as well. Signed-off-by:

The 32- and 64-bit code used very different mechanisms for enabling NX, but even the 32-bit code was enabling NX in head_32.S if it is available. Furthermore, we had a bewildering collection of tests for the available of NX. This patch: a) merges the 32-bit set_nx() and the 64-bit check_efer() function into a single x86_configure_nx() function. EFER control is left to the head code. b) eliminates the nx_enabled variable entirely. Things that need to test for NX enablement can verify __supported_pte_mask directly, and cpu_has_nx gives the supported status of NX. Signed-off-by:

set_kernel_text_rw()/set_kernel_text_ro() are marking pages starting from _text to __start_rodata as RW or RO. With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, there might be free pages (associated with padding the sections to 2MB large page boundary) between text and rodata sections that are given back to page allocator. So we should use only use the start (__text) and end (__stop___ex_table) of the text section in set_kernel_text_rw()/set_kernel_text_ro(). Signed-off-by:

Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time. We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only. Reported-by:

The commit 74e08179 x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA prevents text sections from becoming read/write using set_memory_rw. The dynamic ftrace changes all text pages to read/write just before converting the calls to tracing to nops, and vice versa. I orginally just added a flag to allow this transaction when ftrace did the change, but I also found that when the CPA testing was running it would remove the read/write as well, and ftrace does not do the text conversion on boot up, and the CPA changes caused the dynamic tracer to fail on self tests. The current solution I have is to simply not to prevent change_page_attr from setting the RW bit for kernel text pages. Reported-by:

Suresh Siddha authored
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc). On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes for the 2MB page boundaries Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to the kernel text mappings. Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data mappings. Signed-off-by:

In the first 2MB, kernel text is co-located with kernel static page tables setup by head_64.S. CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops this 2MB large page mapping to small 4KB pages as we mark the kernel text as RO, leaving the static page tables as RW. With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA disabled, OLTP run on NHM-EP shows 1% improvement with 2% reduction in system time and 1% improvement in iowait idle time. To recover this, move the kernel static page tables to .data section, so that we don't have to break the first 2MB of kernel text to small pages with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. Signed-off-by:

Add interleaved NUMA emulation support This patch interleaves emulated nodes over the system's physical nodes. This is required for interleave optimizations since mempolicies, for example, operate by iterating over a nodemask and act without knowledge of node distances. It can also be used for testing memory latencies and NUMA bugs in the kernel. There're a couple of ways to do this: - divide the number of emulated nodes by the number of physical nodes and allocate the result on each physical node, or - allocate each successive emulated node on a different physical node until all memory is exhausted. The disadvantage of the first option is, depending on the asymmetry in node capacities of each physical node, emulated nodes may substantially differ in size on a particular physical node compared to another. The disadvantage of the second option is, also depending on the asymmetry in node capacities of each physical node, there may be more emulated nodes allocated on a single physical node as another. This patch implements the second option; we sacrifice the possibility that we may have slightly more emulated nodes on a particular physical node compared to another in lieu of node size asymmetry. [ Note that "node capacity" of a physical node is not only a function of its addressable range, but also is affected by subtracting out the amount of reserved memory over that range. NUMA emulation only deals with available, non-reserved memory quantities. ] We ensure there is at least a minimal amount of available memory allocated to each node. We also make sure that at least this amount of available memory is available in ZONE_DMA32 for any node that includes both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL. This patch also cleans the emulation code up by no longer passing the statically allocated struct bootnode array among the various functions. This init.data array is not allocated on the stack since it may be very large and thus it may be accessed at file scope. The WARN_ON() for nodes_cover_memory() when faking proximity domains is removed since it relies on successive nodes always having greater start addresses than previous nodes; with interleaving this is no longer always true.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates node setup into detection and registration steps, with the exception of registering e820 active regions in acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred. acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes or to register the nodes for ACPI. acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts: detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are registered as normal. Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and `k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected; both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists and which interface to use. This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here, however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next patch. This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented. k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

This reverts commit db8be50c, as per http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14374 http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=125446885705223&w=4 We simply can't do the USB handoff at FIXUP_HEADER time, since it will often require us to have valid IO mappings etc. But that in turn requires a whole different approach, not this trivial one-liner. Maybe we could teach all the USB quirk handoff handlers to only do the quirk if the device has all its registers set up (since if it isn't initialized, it's unlikely to be active), but regardless that will need a whole lot more code than just saying "let's do it really early". The proper fix is almost certainly to just leave the legacy IOMMU mappings active until after all devices have been initialized. Reported-by:

As reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13940 on some system when acpi are enabled, acpi clears some BAR for some devices without reason, and kernel will need to allocate devices for them.
