build: add __page_aligned_data and __page_aligned_bss
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...

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.

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:
* 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

IRQ is routed through the I/O APIC. These problems do not affect the
timer IRQ itself and therefore cannot be detected when the correctness of
operation of the interrupt is verified in check_timer(). Therefore the
I/O APIC path of the timer IRQ has to be disabled entirely.
This is a change that lets platforms ask for the timer IRQ not to be
registered in the I/O APIC interrupt tables. The local APIC and ExtINTA
paths are unaffected. This request is only taken into account for ACPI
platforms as MP table systems seem unaffected so far.

afraid there is nothing useful about the IC in the document, except that
it's there and consists of an I/O APIC providing 24 inputs and the usual
pair of 8259A cores. Thanks for the reference anyway.

I will praise the day someone ships an x86 machine without an 8259A core!
As expressed in another mail I suspect there may actually be a direct
route from the 8254 to INTIN0 in the southbridge -- this is what other
bootstrap logs seen in the Internet suggest. This would mean this
particular BIOS is buggy (is it the latest version?) and provides an
incorrect IRQ override in its ACPI tables, for example because the
responsible block has been blindly copied from a machine using a commoner
wiring. This could be moderately easily fixed up with a quirk based on
the PCI ID (after checking it again, we actually used to have a quirk for
ATI in this area, but the way it was done suggests the issue was not
understood well enough).
Could you please remove the hack sent yesterday and test the patch
provided below? I do hope it builds, but I have no immediate means to
check it. Please report the output. The intent is to test INTIN0
directly before testing INTIN2 through the 8259A. Thanks.
Aside of that, what I have gathered from your reports (please correct me
if I have got it wrong) is that when the through-8259A mode is used, then
after a while 8254 timer interrupts stop arriving. What's interesting,
the "Virtual Wire IRQ" seems to work for you correctly (that's quite an
odd setup where a local APIC input is used in the native mode -- please
post /proc/interrupts for confirmation), which in turn implies the master
8259A drives its INT output as we expect. Why would the I/O APIC input
have problems then? Hmm...

Something certainly gets confused, but so far I am not sure which bit
exactly it is, are you?

Thanks. In this case I suspect the case #1 quoted above happens, that is
the 8259A manages to deliver its interrupt somehow. Note at this stage it
is meant to be in the AEOI mode, so it can happily resubmit the interrupt
indefinitely with no additional handling as long as it receives INTA
cycles.
Can you please try the patch below on top of "x86: I/O APIC: timer
through 8259A second-chance" to see whether my hypothesis is true? It
modifies the through-8259A setup path so that the APIC input gets masked,
but the 8259A has the timer interrupt still enabled. Let me know how the
timer interrupt is routed in this case.

The new #ifdef is ugly, I know. A proper solution is to provide suitable
definitions of smp_found_config, etc. for !CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC in a header.
Likewise the whole if () condition should be moved to a static inline
function. Such clean-ups are beyond the scope of this change and can be
done once the whole issue of the timer has been sorted out.

Some systems incorrectly report the ExtINTA pin of the I/O APIC as the
genuine target of the timer interrupt. Here is a change that copies timer
pin information found to the other pin if one has been found only. This
way both a direct and a through-8259A route is tested with the pin letting
these problematic systems work well enough. If no timer pin information
has been found for the I/O APIC, then local APIC variations are tried
only, similarly to what is done without the change (except without the
misleading messages).
Obviously if we try the first-chance path without being told by the BIOS
to do so, we should not complain either, so do not print the message in
this case.
The 64-bit variation should be updated with a call to
replace_pin_at_irq() which can be done with the upcoming merge. Since
add_pin_to_irq() is now always called in the first-chance path, the
condition to require it in the second-chance path no longer happens.
