[PATCH] x86_64: timer interrupt lockup due to pending interrupt

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash
  on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be
  locked.

o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
  interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
  sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
  pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
  is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
  interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
  locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
  EOI.

o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.

o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
  boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
  mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
  probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

Arjan van de Ven [Sat, 25 Mar 2006 15:30:49 +0000 (16:30 +0100)]
[PATCH] x86_64: Basic reorder infrastructure

This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of
functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible
to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they
are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where
a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries.

This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts
each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them
in a way defined by the linker script.

As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this,
eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same
ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on
readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased
on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other
things.

I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit
their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on
that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered
approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or
so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel.

Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times
dramatically.

[PATCH] x86_64: Don't define string functions to builtin

gcc should handle this anyways, and it causes problems when
sprintf is turned into strcpy by gcc behind our backs and
the C fallback version of strcpy is actually defining __builtin_strcpy

Then drop -ffreestanding from the main Makefile because it isn't
needed anymore and implies -fno-builtin, which is wrong now.
(it was only added for x86-64, so dropping it should be safe)

Jan Beulich [Sat, 25 Mar 2006 15:29:40 +0000 (16:29 +0100)]
[PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks

While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to
x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules
and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier()
are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or
vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is
of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would
have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets
invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

Chen, Kenneth W [Sat, 25 Mar 2006 11:08:16 +0000 (03:08 -0800)]
[PATCH] direct-io: bug fix in dio handling write error

There is a bug in direct-io on propagating write error up to the higher I/O
layer.  When performing an async ODIRECT write to a block device, if a
device error occurred (like media error or disk is pulled), the error code
is only propagated from device driver to the DIO layer.  The error code
stops at finished_one_bio().  The aysnc write, however, is supposedly have
a corresponding AIO event with appropriate return code (in this case -EIO).
 Application which waits on the async write event, will hang forever since
such AIO event is lost forever (if such app did not use the timeout option
in io_getevents call.  Regardless, an AIO event is lost).

The discovery of above bug leads to another discovery of potential race
window with dio->result.  The fundamental problem is that dio->result is
overloaded with dual use: an indicator of fall back path for partial dio
write, and an error indicator used in the I/O completion path.  In the
event of device error, the setting of -EIO to dio->result clashes with
value used to track partial write that activates the fall back path.

It was also pointed out that it is impossible to use dio->result to track
partial write and at the same time to track error returned from device
driver.  Because direct_io_work can only determines whether it is a partial
write at the end of io submission and in mid stream of those io submission,
a return code could be coming back from the driver.  Thus messing up all
the subsequent logic.

Proposed fix is to separating out error code returned by the IO completion
path from partial IO submit tracking.  A new variable is added to dio
structure specifically to track io error returned in the completion path.

system.  It was detecting errors while copying in the arguments from user
space, but then attempting to use the arguments anyway.  This didn't seem

fls() takes an integer, so roundup_pow_of_two() is busted for ulongs larger
than 2^32-1.

Fix this by implementing and using fls_long().

(Why does roundup_pow_of_two() return a long?)

(Why is roundup_pow_of_two() __attribute_const__ whereas long_log2() is
__attribute_pure__?)

(Why does long_log2() suck so much?  Because we were missing fls_long()?)

[PATCH] No need to protect current->group_info in sys_getgroups(), in_group_p() and in_egroup_p()

While doing some benchmarks of an Apache/PHP SMP server, I noticed high
oprofile numbers in in_group_p() and _atomic_dec_and_lock().

rank  percent
  1     4.8911 % __link_path_walk
  2     4.8503 % __d_lookup
*3     4.2911 % _atomic_dec_and_lock
  4     3.9307 % __copy_to_user_ll
  5     4.9004 % sysenter_past_esp
*6     3.3248 % in_group_p

It appears that in_group_p() does an uncessary

get_group_info(current->group_info); /* atomic_inc() */
  ... /* access current->group_info */
put_group_info(current->group_info); /* _atomic_dec_and_lock */

It is not necessary to do this, because the current task holds a reference
on its own group_info, and this reference cannot change during the lookup.

This patch deletes the get_group_info()/put_group_info() pair from
sys_getgroups(), in_group_p() and in_egroup_p() functions.

[PATCH] Ext2 flags shouldn't report "nogrpid"

If I mount ext2 "rw", I want it to say "rw", not "rw,nogrpid".

I caught this writing an automated regression test script for the busybox
mount command.  The symptom is
  /dev/loop0 on /images/ext2.dir type ext2 (rw,nogrpid)
instead of:
  /dev/loop0 on /images/ext2.dir type ext2 (rw)
