| * | x86: split loading percpu segments from loading gdtJeremy Fitzhardinge2009-01-311-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: split out a function, no functional change Xen needs to be able to access percpu data from very early on. For various reasons, it cannot also load the gdt at that time. It does, however, have a pefectly functional gdt at that point, so there's no pressing need to reload the gdt. Split the function to load the segment registers off, so Xen can call it directly. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
| * | x86: pass in cpu number to switch_to_new_gdt()Brian Gerst2009-01-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: cleanup, prepare for xen boot fix. Xen needs to call this function very early to setup the GDT and per-cpu segments. Remove the call to smp_processor_id() and just pass in the cpu number. Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: sync 32 and 64-bit code Merge load_gs_base() into switch_to_new_gdt(). Load the GDT and per-cpu state for the boot cpu when its new area is set up. Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
* | x86: remove extra barriers from load_gs_base()Brian Gerst2009-01-271-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: optimization mb() generates an mfence instruction, which is not needed here. Only a compiler barrier is needed, and that is handled by the memory clobber in the wrmsrl function. Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

* | x86: move stack_canary into irq_stackBrian Gerst2009-01-201-1/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: x86_64 percpu area layout change, irq_stack now at the beginning Now that the PDA is empty except for the stack canary, it can be removed. The irqstack is moved to the start of the per-cpu section. If the stack protector is enabled, the canary overlaps the bottom 48 bytes of the irqstack. tj: * updated subject * dropped asm relocation of irq_stack_ptr * updated comments a bit * rebased on top of stack canary changes Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
* | x86-64: Convert irqstacks to per-cpuBrian Gerst2009-01-191-0/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the irqstackptr variable from the PDA to per-cpu. Make the stacks themselves per-cpu, removing some specific allocation code. Add a seperate flag (is_boot_cpu) to simplify the per-cpu boot adjustments. tj: * sprinkle some underbars around. * irq_stack_ptr is not used till traps_init(), no reason to initialize it early. On SMP, just leaving it NULL till proper initialization in setup_per_cpu_areas() works. Dropped is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization. * do DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU(char[IRQ_STACK_SIZE], irq_stack) instead of (char, irq_stack[IRQ_STACK_SIZE]).

* | x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisorAlok Kataria2008-11-011-0/+4
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.
