x86, intel, power: Initialize MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS

2011-08-05T04:58:35Z

commit abe48b108247e9b90b4c6739662a2e5c765ed114 upstream. Since 2.6.36 (23016bf0d25), Linux prints the existence of "epb" in /proc/cpuinfo, Since 2.6.38 (d5532ee7b40), the x86_energy_perf_policy(8) utility has been available in-tree to update MSR_IA32_ENERGY_PERF_BIAS. However, the typical BIOS fails to initialize the MSR, presumably because this is handled by high-volume shrink-wrap operating systems... Linux distros, on the other hand, do not yet invoke x86_energy_perf_policy(8). As a result, WSM-EP, SNB, and later hardware from Intel will run in its default hardware power-on state (performance), which assumes that users care for performance at all costs and not for energy efficiency. While that is fine for performance benchmarks, the hardware's intended default operating point is "normal" mode... Initialize the MSR to the "normal" by default during kernel boot. x86_energy_perf_policy(8) is available to change the default after boot, should the user have a different preference.

x86-32, NUMA: Fix boot regression caused by NUMA init unification on highmem machines

2011-07-01T11:38:51Z

During 32/64 NUMA init unification, commit 797390d855 ("x86-32, NUMA: use sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions()") made 32bit mm init call memory_present() automatically from active_regions instead of leaving it to each NUMA init path. This commit description is inaccurate - memory_present() calls aren't the same for flat and numaq. After the commit, memory_present() is only called for the intersection of e820 and NUMA layout. Before, on flatmem, memory_present() would be called from 0 to max_pfn. After, it would be called only on the areas that e820 indicates to be populated. This is how x86_64 works and should be okay as memmap is allowed to contain holes; however, x86_32 DISCONTIGMEM is missing early_pfn_valid(), which makes memmap_init_zone() assume that memmap doesn't contain any hole. This leads to the following oops if e820 map contains holes as it often does on machine with near or more 4GiB of memory by calling pfn_to_page() on a pfn which isn't mapped to a NUMA node, a reported by Conny Seidel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 000012b0 IP: [] memmap_init_zone+0x6c/0xf2 *pdpt =3D 0000000000000000 *pde =3D f000eef3f000ee00 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: Modules linked in: Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.39-rc5-00164-g797390d #1 To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Fix node_start/end_pfn() definition for mm/page_cgroup.c

2011-06-27T21:13:09Z

commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in /arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y. Then, we see mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init': mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn' mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn' So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea... But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and should be implemented in the same manner for all archs. (m32r has different implementation...) This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now. A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c) for !NUMA start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn); end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;}); for NUMA (x86-64) start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn); end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;}); Changelog: - fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

x86, efi: Do not reserve boot services regions within reserved areas

2011-06-18T20:48:49Z

Commit 916f676f8dc started reserving boot service code since some systems require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called. However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions. The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position, but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions which can be reserved.

x86 idle: clarify AMD erratum 400 workaround

2011-05-29T07:38:57Z

The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting: 1. Intel C1E is somehow involved 2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E. Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific to AMD processors with Erratum 400.
