| * x86, ds: add leakage warningMarkus Metzger2009-04-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a warning in case a debug store context is not removed before the task it is attached to is freed. Remove the old warning at thread exit. It is too early. Declare the debug store context field in thread_struct unconditionally. Remove ds_copy_thread() and ds_exit_thread() and do the work directly in process*.c.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: reward non-stop TSCs with good TSC-based clocksources, etc. Add support for CPUID_0x80000007_Bit8 on Intel CPUs as well. This bit means that the TSC is invariant with C/P/T states and always runs at constant frequency. With Intel CPUs, we have 3 classes * CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate and does not stop n C-states * CPUs where TSC runs at constant rate, but will stop in deep C-states * CPUs where TSC rate will vary based on P/T-states and TSC will stop in deep C-states. To cover these 3, one feature bit (CONSTANT_TSC) is not enough. So, add a second bit (NONSTOP_TSC). CONSTANT_TSC indicates that the TSC runs at constant frequency irrespective of P/T-states, and NONSTOP_TSC indicates that TSC does not stop in deep C-states. CPUID_0x8000000_Bit8 indicates both these feature bit can be set. We still have CONSTANT_TSC _set_ and NONSTOP_TSC _not_set_ on some older Intel CPUs, based on model checks. We can use TSC on such CPUs for time, as long as those CPUs do not support/enter deep C-states.

| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: really halt all CPUs on halt Function machine_halt (resp. native_machine_halt) is empty for x86 architectures. When command 'halt -f' is invoked, the message "System halted." is displayed but this is not really true because all CPUs are still running. There are also similar inconsistencies for other arches (some uses power-off for halt or forever-loop with IRQs enabled/disabled).

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make poll_idle() behave more like the other idle methods. Currently, poll_idle() returns immediately. The other idle methods all wait indefinately for some condition to come true before returning. poll_idle should emulate these other methods and also wait for a return condition, in this case, for need_resched() to become 'true'. Without this delay the idle loop spends all of its time in the outer loop that calls poll_idle. This outer loop, these days, does real work, some of it under rcu locks. That work should only be done when idle is entered and when idle exits, not continuously while idle is spinning.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems. When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#& machines we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle. Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

The BROADCAST_FORCE notification uses smp_function_call and therefor must be run with interrupts enabled. While at it, add a comment for the BROADCAST_EXIT notifier as well.

* | x86, clockevents: add C1E aware idle functionThomas Gleixner2008-07-081-0/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | C1E on AMD machines is like C3 but without control from the OS. Up to now we disabled the local apic timer for those machines as it stops when the CPU goes into C1E. This excludes those machines from high resolution timers / dynamic ticks, which hurts especially X2 based laptops. The current boot time C1E detection has another, more serious flaw as well: some BIOSes do not enable C1E until the ACPI processor module is loaded. This causes systems to stop working after that point. To work nicely with C1E enabled machines we use a separate idle function, which checks on idle entry whether C1E was enabled in the Interrupt Pending Message MSR. This allows us to do timer broadcasting for C1E and covers the late enablement of C1E as well. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
