* x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15hBorislav Petkov2011-08-051-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

* x86-64: Add time to vDSOAndy Lutomirski2011-05-242-1/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The only fast implementation of time(2) we expose is through the vsyscall page and we want to get userspace to stop using the vsyscall page. So make it available through the vDSO as well. This is essentially a cut-n-paste job.

* x86-64: Vclock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) can't ever see nsec < 0Andy Lutomirski2011-05-241-18/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | vclock_gettime's do_monotonic helper can't ever generate a negative nsec value, so it doesn't need to check whether it's negative. In the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE case, ns can't ever exceed 2e9-1, so we can avoid the loop entirely. This saves a single easily-predicted branch.

* x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variablesAndy Lutomirski2011-05-247-67/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are currently a bit of a mess. They are each defined with their own magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page, and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really exist. This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access. The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of indirection is removed. While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same cacheline.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When initrd is in use and a driver does request_module() in its module_init (i.e. __initcall or device_initcall), a modprobe process is created with VDSO mapping. But VDSO is inited even in __initcall, i.e. on the same level (at the same time), so it may not be inited yet (link order matters). Move the VDSO initialization code earlier by switching to something before rootfs_initcall where initrd is loaded as rootfs. Specifically to subsys_initcall. Do it for standard 64-bit path (init_vdso_vars) and for compat (sysenter_setup), just in case people have 32-bit initrd and ia32 emulation built-in. i386 (pure 32-bit) is not affected, since sysenter_setup() is called from check_bugs()->identify_boot_cpu() in start_kernel() before rest_init()->kernel_thread(kernel_init) where even kernel_init() calls do_basic_setup()->do_initcalls(). What this patch fixes are early modprobe crashes such as: Unpacking initramfs...

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After talking with some application writers who want very fast, but not fine-grained timestamps, I decided to try to implement new clock_ids to clock_gettime(): CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE which returns the time at the last tick. This is very fast as we don't have to access any hardware (which can be very painful if you're using something like the acpi_pm clocksource), and we can even use the vdso clock_gettime() method to avoid the syscall. The only trade off is you only get low-res tick grained time resolution. This isn't a new idea, I know Ingo has a patch in the -rt tree that made the vsyscall gettimeofday() return coarse grained time when the vsyscall64 sysctrl was set to 2. However this affects all applications on a system. With this method, applications can choose the proper speed/granularity trade-off for themselves.

* | x86: gettimeofday() vDSO: fix segfault when tv == NULLJohn Wright2009-04-301-5/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to the gettimeofday(2) manual: If either tv or tz is NULL, the corresponding structure is not set or returned. Since it is legal to give NULL as the tv argument, the code should make sure tv is not NULL before trying to dereference it. This issue manifests itself on x86_64 when vdso=0 is not on the kernel command-line and libc uses the vDSO for gettimeofday() (e.g. glibc >= 2.7). A simple reproducer: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/time.h> int main(void) { struct timezone tz; gettimeofday(NULL, &tz); return 0; } See http://bugs.debian.org/466491 for more details.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could be removed without replacement. What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not to map the vdso.

* x86_64 vDSO: use initdataRoland McGrath2008-04-281-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 64-bit vDSO image is in a special ".vdso" section for no reason I can determine. Furthermore, the location of the vdso_end symbol includes some wrongly-calculated padding space in the image, which is then (correctly) rounded to page size, resulting in an extra page of zeros in the image mapped in to user processes. This changes it to put the vdso.so image into normal initdata as we have always done for the 32-bit vDSO images. The extra padding is gone, so the user VMA is one page instead of two. The image that was already copied around at boot time is now in initdata, so we recover that wasted space after boot.

* x86 vDSO: don't map 32-bit vdso when disabledRoland McGrath2008-04-171-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid. For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl. When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use the vDSO for anything, but we still map it. For the non-compat vDSO, this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing up the control of the address space the user was hoping for. Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages.
