IOMMU Updates for Linux v3.10
The updates are mostly about the x86 IOMMUs this time. Exceptions are the groundwork for the PAMU IOMMU from Freescale (for a PPC platform) and an extension to the IOMMU group interface. On the x86 side this includes a workaround for VT-d to disable interrupt remapping on broken chipsets. On the AMD-Vi side the most important new feature is a kernel command-line interface to override broken information in IVRS ACPI tables and get interrupt remapping working this way. Besides that there are small fixes all over the place. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJRh2vAAAoJECvwRC2XARrjbjkP/jzKzeffybUpQsIJF8rs/IEt hSwqpGLr6WR5FdneEH9fiBIp4pyMDXmuAb/2ZNgB+DgPN3xgqmWVo4WLk7pMo3BS /xIz/lu7hIX3AtKt807pL9+rPdhGYEJ43Vmr4bW9x0l1kuNXy6fmMLcN5FaPKjV4 p4hY4jOstEgtYQw4wi39/9b4FsYoipZizkOUSdtCzWwTv7jOHH7/Wra8iZyzL6Je 1VlF/efp0ytTcwLdHOfGwPCIlZrQRtQCM4SqdAUG9bOL3ARR9Yu/0iW1295nbLzo CQX5CfKePvo/fGxki1jcBi+UCyxYKPosB5kCxmh4MAxCg/VzzMsaME/A73tLJa6W Y29bbjwPoBPMq03HX8S9R5QWY8HpFujUUp+J4TXcKuTgYEV28WfLu1uaeKD716nM LoXUojov7Cj8ZQZnhyu5l+XNaephBZLfw/8bM6bAxhlKXwAjmLiS5Z+srPl1GJee 5GCV+L94JifHLZaREWh3JFsh9O3W7Wno2++c4JU32uCWJHXH7tMgs2P8n5AY9rnT Km1a9y6w2MF3Gg9j4y6u75m0XnFTNzYjeJMUtqVlwVhNHhgaXfuIWY63xOQCLJs1 ThTHOjoh0VqONGobR/ywn+0ouo9X07DnWpluyFd+zY3XK0UE0NOu9XMr4i6TWxOf mlzWoEKxtw36XGHB/FtQ =MVc/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'iommu-updates-v3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: "The updates are mostly about the x86 IOMMUs this time.

Merge branch 'timers-nohz-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull 'full dynticks' support from Ingo Molnar:
"This tree from Frederic Weisbecker adds a new, (exciting! :-) core
kernel feature to the timer and scheduler subsystems: 'full dynticks',
or CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y.
This feature extends the nohz variable-size timer tick feature from
idle to busy CPUs (running at most one task) as well, potentially
reducing the number of timer interrupts significantly.
This feature got motivated by real-time folks and the -rt tree, but
the general utility and motivation of full-dynticks runs wider than
that:
- HPC workloads get faster: CPUs running a single task should be able
to utilize a maximum amount of CPU power. A periodic timer tick at
HZ=1000 can cause a constant overhead of up to 1.0%. This feature
removes that overhead - and speeds up the system by 0.5%-1.0% on
typical distro configs even on modern systems.
- Real-time workload latency reduction: CPUs running critical tasks
should experience as little jitter as possible. The last remaining
source of kernel-related jitter was the periodic timer tick.
- A single task executing on a CPU is a pretty common situation,
especially with an increasing number of cores/CPUs, so this feature
helps desktop and mobile workloads as well.
The cost of the feature is mainly related to increased timer
reprogramming overhead when a CPU switches its tick period, and thus
slightly longer to-idle and from-idle latency.
Configuration-wise a third mode of operation is added to the existing
two NOHZ kconfig modes:
- CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC: [formerly !CONFIG_NO_HZ], now explicitly named
as a config option. This is the traditional Linux periodic tick
design: there's a HZ tick going on all the time, regardless of
whether a CPU is idle or not.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE: [formerly CONFIG_NO_HZ=y], this turns off the
periodic tick when a CPU enters idle mode.
- CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL: this new mode, in addition to turning off the
tick when a CPU is idle, also slows the tick down to 1 Hz (one
timer interrupt per second) when only a single task is running on a
CPU.
The .config behavior is compatible: existing !CONFIG_NO_HZ and
CONFIG_NO_HZ=y settings get translated to the new values, without the
user having to configure anything. CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is turned off by
default.
This feature is based on a lot of infrastructure work that has been
steadily going upstream in the last 2-3 cycles: related RCU support
and non-periodic cputime support in particular is upstream already.
This tree adds the final pieces and activates the feature. The pull
request is marked RFC because:
- it's marked 64-bit only at the moment - the 32-bit support patch is
small but did not get ready in time.
- it has a number of fresh commits that came in after the merge
window. The overwhelming majority of commits are from before the
merge window, but still some aspects of the tree are fresh and so I
marked it RFC.
- it's a pretty wide-reaching feature with lots of effects - and
while the components have been in testing for some time, the full
combination is still not very widely used. That it's default-off
should reduce its regression abilities and obviously there are no
known regressions with CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y enabled either.
- the feature is not completely idempotent: there is no 100%
equivalent replacement for a periodic scheduler/timer tick. In
particular there's ongoing work to map out and reduce its effects
on scheduler load-balancing and statistics. This should not impact
correctness though, there are no known regressions related to this
feature at this point.
- it's a pretty ambitious feature that with time will likely be
enabled by most Linux distros, and we'd like you to make input on
its design/implementation, if you dislike some aspect we missed.
Without flaming us to crisp! :-)
Future plans:
- there's ongoing work to reduce 1Hz to 0Hz, to essentially shut off
the periodic tick altogether when there's a single busy task on a
CPU. We'd first like 1 Hz to be exposed more widely before we go
for the 0 Hz target though.
- once we reach 0 Hz we can remove the periodic tick assumption from
nr_running>=2 as well, by essentially interrupting busy tasks only
as frequently as the sched_latency constraints require us to do -
once every 4-40 msecs, depending on nr_running.
I am personally leaning towards biting the bullet and doing this in
v3.10, like the -rt tree this effort has been going on for too long -
but the final word is up to you as usual.

Merge branch 'for-3.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq
Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on workqueue side this time. The changes achieve
the followings.
- WQ_UNBOUND workqueues - the workqueues which are per-cpu - are
updated to be able to interface with multiple backend worker pools.
This involved a lot of churning but the end result seems actually
neater as unbound workqueues are now a lot closer to per-cpu ones.
- The ability to interface with multiple backend worker pools are
used to implement unbound workqueues with custom attributes.
Currently the supported attributes are the nice level and CPU
affinity. It may be expanded to include cgroup association in
future. The attributes can be specified either by calling
apply_workqueue_attrs() or through /sys/bus/workqueue/WQ_NAME/* if
the workqueue in question is exported through sysfs.
The backend worker pools are keyed by the actual attributes and
shared by any workqueues which share the same attributes. When
attributes of a workqueue are changed, the workqueue binds to the
worker pool with the specified attributes while leaving the work
items which are already executing in its previous worker pools
alone.
This allows converting custom worker pool implementations which
want worker attribute tuning to use workqueues. The writeback pool
is already converted in block tree and there are a couple others
are likely to follow including btrfs io workers.
- WQ_UNBOUND's ability to bind to multiple worker pools is also used
to make it NUMA-aware. Because there's no association between work
item issuer and the specific worker assigned to execute it, before
this change, using unbound workqueue led to unnecessary cross-node
bouncing and it couldn't be helped by autonuma as it requires tasks
to have implicit node affinity and workers are assigned randomly.
After these changes, an unbound workqueue now binds to multiple
NUMA-affine worker pools so that queued work items are executed in
the same node. This is turned on by default but can be disabled
system-wide or for individual workqueues.
Crypto was requesting NUMA affinity as encrypting data across
different nodes can contribute noticeable overhead and doing it
per-cpu was too limiting for certain cases and IO throughput could
be bottlenecked by one CPU being fully occupied while others have
idle cycles.
While the new features required a lot of changes including
restructuring locking, it didn't complicate the execution paths much.
The unbound workqueue handling is now closer to per-cpu ones and the
new features are implemented by simply associating a workqueue with
different sets of backend worker pools without changing queue,
execution or flush paths.
As such, even though the amount of change is very high, I feel
relatively safe in that it isn't likely to cause subtle issues with
basic correctness of work item execution and handling. If something
is wrong, it's likely to show up as being associated with worker pools
with the wrong attributes or OOPS while workqueue attributes are being
changed or during CPU hotplug.
While this creates more backend worker pools, it doesn't add too many
more workers unless, of course, there are many workqueues with unique
combinations of attributes. Assuming everything else is the same,
NUMA awareness costs an extra worker pool per NUMA node with online
CPUs.
There are also a couple things which are being routed outside the
workqueue tree.
- block tree pulled in workqueue for-3.10 so that writeback worker
pool can be converted to unbound workqueue with sysfs control
exposed. This simplifies the code, makes writeback workers
NUMA-aware and allows tuning nice level and CPU affinity via sysfs.
- The conversion to workqueue means that there's no 1:1 association
between a specific worker, which makes writeback folks unhappy as
they want to be able to tell which filesystem caused a problem from
backtrace on systems with many filesystems mounted. This is
resolved by allowing work items to set debug info string which is
printed when the task is dumped. As this change involves unifying
implementations of dump_stack() and friends in arch codes, it's
being routed through Andrew's -mm tree."

Tracing updates for Linux 3.10
Along with the usual minor fixes and clean ups there are a few major changes with this pull request. 1) Multiple buffers for the ftrace facility This feature has been requested by many people over the last few years. I even heard that Google was about to implement it themselves. I finally had time and cleaned up the code such that you can now create multiple instances of the ftrace buffer and have different events go to different buffers. This way, a low frequency event will not be lost in the noise of a high frequency event. Note, currently only events can go to different buffers, the tracers (ie. function, function_graph and the latency tracers) still can only be written to the main buffer. 2) The function tracer triggers have now been extended. The function tracer had two triggers. One to enable tracing when a function is hit, and one to disable tracing.

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin: "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual in many places.) After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon, but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken interfaces."

nohz: Ensure full dynticks CPUs are RCU nocbs
We need full dynticks CPU to also be RCU nocb so that we don't have to keep the tick to handle RCU callbacks. Make sure the range passed to nohz_full= boot parameter is a subset of rcu_nocbs= The CPUs that fail to meet this requirement will be excluded from the nohz_full range. This is checked early in boot time, before any CPU has the opportunity to stop its tick. Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Reviewed-by: Paul E.

nohz: Force boot CPU outside full dynticks range
The timekeeping job must be able to run early on boot because there may be some pre-SMP (and thus pre-initcalls ) components that rely on it. The IO-APIC is one such users as it tests the timer health by watching jiffies progression. Given that it happens before we know the initial online set, we can't rely on it to select a timekeeper. We need one before SMP time otherwise we simply crash on boot. To fix this and keep things simple for now, force the boot CPU outside of the full dynticks range in any case and do this early on kernel parameter parsing time. We might want a trickier solution later, expecially for aSMP architectures that need to assign housekeeping tasks to arbitrary low power CPUs. But it's still first pass KISS time for now.

x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically
Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.
We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y. This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled. Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.
Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.
For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.
-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.
-v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa.
also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt
-v5: update changelog according to Vivek.

nohz: Switch from "extended nohz" to "full nohz" based naming
"Extended nohz" was used as a naming base for the full dynticks API and Kconfig symbols. It reflects the fact the system tries to stop the tick in more places than just idle. But that "extended" name is a bit opaque and vague. Rename it to "full" makes it clearer what the system tries to do under this config: try to shutdown the tick anytime it can. The various constraints that prevent that to happen shouldn't be considered as fundamental properties of this feature but rather technical issues that may be solved in the future.

workqueue: update sysfs interface to reflect NUMA awareness and a kernel param to disable NUMA affinity
Unbound workqueues are now NUMA aware. Let's add some control knobs and update sysfs interface accordingly. * Add kernel param workqueue.numa_disable which disables NUMA affinity globally. * Replace sysfs file "pool_id" with "pool_ids" which contain node:pool_id pairs. This change is userland-visible but "pool_id" hasn't seen a release yet, so this is okay. * Add a new sysf files "numa" which can toggle NUMA affinity on individual workqueues. This is implemented as attrs->no_numa whichn is special in that it isn't part of a pool's attributes. It only affects how apply_workqueue_attrs() picks which pools to use. After "pool_ids" change, first_pwq() doesn't have any user left. Removed. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> |

rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ take advantage of numbered callbacks
Because RCU callbacks are now associated with the number of the grace period that they must wait for, CPUs can now take advance callbacks corresponding to grace periods that ended while a given CPU was in dyntick-idle mode. This eliminates the need to try forcing the RCU state machine while entering idle, thus reducing the CPU intensiveness of RCU_FAST_NO_HZ, which should increase its energy efficiency.

rcu: Distinguish "rcuo" kthreads by RCU flavor
Currently, the per-no-CBs-CPU kthreads are named "rcuo" followed by the CPU number, for example, "rcuo". This is problematic given that there are either two or three RCU flavors, each of which gets a per-CPU kthread with exactly the same name. This commit therefore introduces a one-letter abbreviation for each RCU flavor, namely 'b' for RCU-bh, 'p' for RCU-preempt, and 's' for RCU-sched. This abbreviation is used to distinguish the "rcuo" kthreads, for example, for CPU 0 we would have "rcuob/0", "rcuop/0", and "rcuos/0". Signed-off-by: Paul E.

nohz: Basic full dynticks interface
For extreme usecases such as Real Time or HPC, having the ability to shutdown the tick when a single task runs on a CPU is a desired feature: * Reducing the amount of interrupts improves throughput for CPU-bound tasks. The CPU is less distracted from its real job, from an execution time and from the cache point of views. * This also improve latency response as we have less critical sections. Start with introducing a very simple interface to define full dynticks CPU: use a boot time option defined cpumask through the "nohz_extended=" kernel parameter. CPUs that are part of this range will have their tick shutdown whenever possible: provided they run a single task and they don't do kernel activity that require the periodic tick. These details will be later documented in Documentation/* An online CPU must be kept outside this range to handle the timekeeping. Suggested-by: Paul E.

tracing: Add alloc_snapshot kernel command line parameter
If debugging the kernel, and the developer wants to use tracing_snapshot() in places where tracing_snapshot_alloc() may be difficult (or more likely, the developer is lazy and doesn't want to bother with tracing_snapshot_alloc() at all), then adding alloc_snapshot to the kernel command line parameter will tell ftrace to allocate the snapshot buffer (if configured) when it allocates the main tracing buffer. I also noticed that ring_buffer_expanded and tracing_selftest_disabled had inconsistent use of boolean "true" and "false" with "0" and "1". I cleaned that up too.

acpi, memory-hotplug: support getting hotplug info from SRAT
We now provide an option for users who don't want to specify physical
memory address in kernel commandline.
/*
* For movablemem_map=acpi:
*
* SRAT: |_____| |_____| |_________| |_________| ......
* node id: 0 1 1 2
* hotpluggable: n y y n
* movablemem_map: |_____| |_________|
*
* Using movablemem_map, we can prevent memblock from allocating memory
* on ZONE_MOVABLE at boot time.
*/
So user just specify movablemem_map=acpi, and the kernel will use
hotpluggable info in SRAT to determine which memory ranges should be set
as ZONE_MOVABLE.
If all the memory ranges in SRAT is hotpluggable, then no memory can be
used by kernel. But before parsing SRAT, memblock has already reserve
some memory ranges for other purposes, such as for kernel image, and so
on. We cannot prevent kernel from using these memory. So we need to
exclude these ranges even if these memory is hotpluggable.
Furthermore, there could be several memory ranges in the single node
which the kernel resides in. We may skip one range that have memory
reserved by memblock, but if the rest of memory is too small, then the
kernel will fail to boot. So, make the whole node which the kernel
resides in un-hotpluggable. Then the kernel has enough memory to use.
NOTE: Using this way will cause NUMA performance down because the
whole node will be set as ZONE_MOVABLE, and kernel cannot use memory
on it. If users don't want to lose NUMA performance, just don't use
it.

Merge branch 'x86-mm-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

x86 idle: remove 32-bit-only "no-hlt" parameter, hlt_works_ok flag
Remove 32-bit x86 a cmdline param "no-hlt", and the cpuinfo_x86.hlt_works_ok that it sets. If a user wants to avoid HLT, then "idle=poll" is much more useful, as it avoids invocation of HLT in idle, while "no-hlt" failed to do so. Indeed, hlt_works_ok was consulted in only 3 places. First, in /proc/cpuinfo where "hlt_bug yes" would be printed if and only if the user booted the system with "no-hlt" -- as there was no other code to set that flag. Second, check_hlt() would not invoke halt() if "no-hlt" were on the cmdline. Third, it was consulted in stop_this_cpu(), which is invoked by native_machine_halt()/reboot_interrupt()/smp_stop_nmi_callback() -- all cases where the machine is being shutdown/reset. The flag was not consulted in the more frequently invoked play_dead()/hlt_play_dead() used in processor offline and suspend. Since Linux-3.0 there has been a run-time notice upon "no-hlt" invocations indicating that it would be removed in 2012. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org |

x86 idle: remove mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline param
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT, starting on Pentium-4 HT-enabled processors. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI processor_idle and intel_idle use only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and no longer use mwait_idle(). Here we simplify the x86 native idle code by removing mwait_idle(), and the "idle=mwait" bootparam used to invoke it. Since Linux 3.0 there has been a boot-time warning when "idle=mwait" was invoked saying it would be removed in 2012. This removal was also noted in the (now removed:-) feature-removal-schedule.txt. After this change, kernels configured with (CONFIG_ACPI=n && CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that supports MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above can be enabled. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: x86@kernel.org |

x86: Add Crash kernel low reservation
During kdump kernel's booting stage, it need to find low ram for
swiotlb buffer when system does not support intel iommu/dmar remapping.
kexed-tools is appending memmap=exactmap and range from /proc/iomem
with "Crash kernel", and that range is above 4G for 64bit after boot
protocol 2.12.
We need to add another range in /proc/iomem like "Crash kernel low",
so kexec-tools could find that info and append to kdump kernel
command line.
Try to reserve some under 4G if the normal "Crash kernel" is above 4G.
User could specify the size with crashkernel_low=XX[KMG].
-v2: fix warning that is found by Fengguang's test robot.
-v3: move out get_mem_size change to another patch, to solve compiling
warning that is found by Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>
-v4: user must specify crashkernel_low if system does not support
intel or amd iommu.

rcu: Make rcu_nocb_poll an early_param instead of module_param
The as-documented rcu_nocb_poll will fail to enable this feature for two reasons. (1) there is an extra "s" in the documented name which is not in the code, and (2) since it uses module_param, it really is expecting a prefix, akin to "rcutree.fanout_leaf" and the prefix isn't documented. However, there are several reasons why we might not want to simply fix the typo and add the prefix: 1) we'd end up with rcutree.rcu_nocb_poll, and rather probably make a change to rcutree.nocb_poll 2) if we did #1, then the prefix wouldn't be consistent with the rcu_nocbs=<cpumap> parameter (i.e. one with, one without prefix) 3) the use of module_param in a header file is less than desired, since it isn't immediately obvious that it will get processed via rcutree.c and get the prefix from that (although use of module_param_named() could clarify that.) 4) the implied export of /sys/module/rcutree/parameters/rcu_nocb_poll data to userspace via module_param() doesn't really buy us anything, as it is read-only and we can tell if it is enabled already without it, since there is a printk at early boot telling us so. In light of all that, just change it from a module_param() to an early_setup() call, and worry about adding it to /sys later on if we decide to allow a dynamic setting of it. Also change the variable to be tagged as read_mostly, since it will only ever be fiddled with at most, once at boot.
