| | * | ACPI: cap off P-state transition latency from buggy BIOSesPallipadi, Venkatesh2009-03-271-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some BIOSes report very high frequency transition latency which are plainly wrong on CPus that can change frequency using native MSR interface. One such system is IBM T42 (2327-8ZU) as reported by Owen Taylor and Rik van Riel. cpufreq_ondemand driver uses this transition latency to come up with a reasonable sampling interval to sample CPU usage and with such high latency value, ondemand sampling interval ends up being very high (0.5 sec, in this particular case), resulting in performance impact due to slow response to increasing frequency. Fix it by capping-off the transition latency to 20uS for native MSR based frequency transitions. mjg: We've confirmed that this also helps on the X31 Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Acked-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

This is the same case even for NMI structure reporting. The Processor X2APIC Affinity structure provides the association between the X2APIC ID of a logical processor and the proximity domain to which the logical processor belongs. For OSPM, Procssor IDs outside the 0-254 range are to be declared as Device() objects in the ACPI namespace.

The modifying of code with NMIs allows all NMIs to modify the code if it is about to run. This prevents a modifier on one CPU from modifying code running in NMI context on another CPU. The modifying is done through stop_machine, so only NMIs must be considered. But if the write causes the page fault handler to produce a warning, the print can slow it down enough that as soon as it is done it will take another NMI before going back to the process context. The new NMI will perform the write again causing another print and this will hang the box. This patch turns off the writing as soon as a failure is detected and does not wait for it to be turned off by the process context. This will keep NMIs from getting stuck in this back and forth of print outs. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts it back to read only afterward. The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only. The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what its state will actually be. Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.
