The implementation of these interfaces depends on each architecture. o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr, u32 gsi_base); This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns 0 on success, or negative value on error. o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base); This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or negative value on error.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's another problem shown up by Ingo's recent patch to make smp_processor_id() complain if it's called with preemption enabled. local_finish_flush_tlb_mm() calls activate_context() in a situation where it could be rescheduled to another processor.

* | | | [IA64] Speed up lfetch.fault [NULL]David Mosberger-Tang2005-06-281-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch greatly speeds up the handling of lfetch.fault instructions which result in NaT consumption. Due to the NaT-page mapped at address 0, this is guaranteed to happen when lfetch.fault'ing a NULL pointer. With this patch in place, we can even define prefetch()/prefetchw() as lfetch.fault without significant performance degradation. More importantly, it allows compilers to be more aggressive with using lfetch.fault on pointers that might be NULL.

As per architecture manual, the former is needed only to ensure that the clearing of PSR.IC is seen by the VHPT for subsequent instruction fetches. However, since the remainder of the code (up to and including the RFI instruction) is mapped by a pinned TLB entry, there is no chance of an iTLB miss and we don't care whether or not the VHPT sees PSR.IC cleared. Since srlz.d is substantially cheaper than srlz.i, this should shave off a few cycles off the interrupt path (unverified though; I'm not setup to measure this at the moment).

Why is it safe to eliminate the srlz.i? Observe that we used to clear bits ~PSR_PRESERVED_BITS in PSR.L. Since PSR_PRESERVED_BITS==PSR.{UP,MFL,MFH,PK,DT,PP,SP,RT,IC}, we ended up clearing PSR.{BE,AC,I,DFL,DFH,DI,DB,SI,TB}. However, PSR.BE : already is turned off in __kernel_syscall_via_epc() PSR.AC : don't care (kernel normally turns PSR.AC on) PSR.I : already turned off by the time fsys_bubble_down gets invoked PSR.DFL: always 0 (kernel never turns it on) PSR.DFH: don't care --- kernel never touches f32-f127 on its own initiative PSR.DI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on) PSR.SI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on) PSR.DB : don't care --- kernel never enables kernel-level breakpoints PSR.TB : must be 0 already; if it wasn't zero on entry to __kernel_syscall_via_epc, the branch to fsys_bubble_down will trigger a taken branch; the taken-trap-handler then converts the syscall into a break-based system-call. In other words: all the bits we're clearying are either 0 already or are don't cares! Thus, we don't have to write PSR.L at all and we don't have to do a srlz.i either.

If it turns out that (a) we're not being called due to a system call or (b) we're being called from within the kernel, we fixup the no-longer-valid assumptions in non_syscall() and .break_fixup(), respectively. With this approach, there are 3 major phases: - Phase 1: Read various control & application registers, in particular the current task pointer from AR.K6. - Phase 2: Do all memory loads (load system-call entry, load current_thread_info()->flags, prefetch kernel register-backing store) and switch to kernel register-stack. - Phase 3: Call ia64_syscall_setup() and invoke syscall-handler.

To enable this, don't bother clearing some of the registers when we're returning to kernel stacks.

With this new design we no longer need to do some of the odd hacks previous required on the last ia64 return probe port that I sent out for comments. Note that this new implementation still does not resolve the problem noted by Keith Owens where backtrace data is lost after a return probe is hit. Changes include: * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back to the original return address. * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on kretprobe_trampoline * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation. This is the function that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function and returning control back at the original return address * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when a caller enters the target function. (A return probe instance contains all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.) * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

In order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390 and ppc64 to account for this change. 1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU 2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus. 3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down. 4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus. 5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus. 6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online. 7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside. 8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others(). 9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down. 10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die(). 11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs() 12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus. 13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once the jprobe instrumented function returns, it executes a jprobe_break which is a break instruction with __IA64_JPROBE_BREAK value. The current patch checks for this break value, before assuming that jprobe instrumented function just completed. The previous code was not checking for this value and that was a bug.

Hence, if the instruction we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to happen so that we can emulate the instruction.

With the current design for kprobes, the arch specific code only has a chance to return failure inside the arch_prepare_kprobe() function. This patch moves all of the work that was happening in arch_copy_kprobe() and most of the work that was happening in arch_arm_kprobe() into arch_prepare_kprobe(). By doing this we can add further robustness checks in arch_arm_kprobe() and refuse to insert kprobes that will cause problems.

Attached patches following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64. I have tesed this patches for kprobes and Jprobes and this seems to work fine. I have tested this patch by inserting kprobes on various slots and various templates including various types of branch instructions. I have also tested this patch using the tool http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111657358022586&w=2 and the kprobes for IA64 works great. Here is list of TODO things and pathes for the same will appear soon. 1) Support kprobes on "mov r1=ip" type of instruction 2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address 3) Support Return probes 3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes This patch adds the kdebug die notification mechanism needed by Kprobes. For break instruction on Branch type slot, imm21 is ignored and value zero is placed in IIM register, hence we need to handle kprobes for switch case zero.

This simple patch changes the informational string to a more correct "break 0" value, and applies to the 2.6.12-rc2-mm2 tree with all the kprobes patches that were just recently included for the next mm cut.

It walks the page table assuming PAGE_SIZE. Thus when taking a fault triggered from hugetlb address, it would not calculate the pgd/pmd/pte address correctly and thus result an incorrect invocation of ia64_do_page_fault(). In there, kernel will signal SIGBUS and application dies (The faulting address is perfectly legal and we have a valid pte for the corresponding user hugetlb address as well). This patch fix the described kernel bug. Since nested_dtlb_miss is a rare event and a slow path anyway, I'm making the change without #ifdef CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE for code readability.

The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2 mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split off from the driver. The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2 driver. Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch. Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2 right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently). On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory. Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.
