* Revert "x86: Side-step lguest problem by only building cmpxchg8b_emu for ↵Rusty Russell2010-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pre-Pentium" This reverts commit ae1b22f6e46c03cede7cea234d0bf2253b4261cf. As Linus said in 982d007a6ee: "There was something really messy about cmpxchg8b and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it carefully." This breaks lguest for those configs, but we can fix that by emulating if we have to.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rather than having X86_L1_CACHE_BYTES and X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT (with inconsistent defaults), just having the latter suffices as the former can be easily calculated from it. To be consistent, also change X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_BYTES to X86_INTERNODE_CACHE_SHIFT, and set it to 7 (128 bytes) for NUMA to account for last level cache line size (which here matters more than L1 cache line size). Finally, make sure the default value for X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT, when X86_GENERIC is selected, is being seen before that for the individual CPU model options (other than on x86-64, where GENERIC_CPU is part of the choice construct, X86_GENERIC is a separate option on ix86).

* | x86: Optimize cmpxchg64() at build-time some moreLinus Torvalds2009-10-01
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Try to avoid the 'alternates()' code when we can statically determine that cmpxchg8b is fine. We already have that CONFIG_x86_CMPXCHG64 (enabled by PAE support), and we could easily also enable it for some of the CPU cases. Note, this patch only adds CMPXCHG8B for the obvious Intel CPU's, not for others. (There was something really messy about cmpxchg8b and clone CPU's, so if you enable it on other CPUs later, do it carefully.) If we avoid that asm-alternative thing when we can assume the instruction exists, we'll generate less support crud, and we'll avoid the whole issue with that extra 'nop' for padding instruction sizes etc. LKML-Reference: <alpine.LFD.2.01.0909301743150.6996@localhost.localdomain> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do look better. So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the CONFIG_X86_64 thing. The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for them. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Changes in detail: - guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros - separate DS and BTS more clearly - simplify field accesses - add functions to manage PEBS buffers - add simple protection/allocation mechanism - added support for Atom Opens: - buffer overflow handling Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.

Remove the X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum. Remove apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed. Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends. The use of ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have used it for readability's sake. I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead and here it is. Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days). Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I have disregarded it. I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I have left changes to them out. The option will get removed from them at the next run. Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will everywhere.

An arch that wants to use the generic implementation now only has to use a select statement to include them. I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu and used that to select the generic search functions. This way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a bit. ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 does things differently, but still compiles fine. It seems that a "def_bool y" always wins over a "def_bool n"?

It is also the only thing that prevents a 686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series. The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when building for generic consumption, avoid using them. Signed-off-by: H.

* x86: debugctlmsr kconfigRoland McGrath2008-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds the (internal) Kconfig macro CONFIG_X86_DEBUGCTLMSR, to be defined when configuring to support only hardware that definitely supports MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR with the BTF flag. The Intel documentation says "P6 family" and later processors all have it. I think the Kconfig dependencies are right to have it set for those and unset for others (i.e., when 586 and earlier are supported).
