Kernel panic - not syncing: Boot APIC ID in local APIC unexpected (16 vs 0)

The reason is that default_get_apic_id handled extension of local APIC
ID field just in case of XAPIC.
Thus for this AMD CPU, default_get_apic_id() returns 0 and
bigsmp_get_apic_id() returns 16 which leads to the respective kernel
panic.
This patch introduces a Linux specific feature flag to indicate
support for extended APIC id (8 bits instead of 4 bits width) and sets
the flag on AMD CPUs if applicable.

Fix bug in the SGI UV macros that support systems with multiple
coherency domains. The macros used for referencing global MMR
(chipset registers) are failing to correctly "or" the NASID
(node identifier) bits that reside above M+N. These high bits
are supplied automatically by the chipset for memory accesses
coming from the processor socket.
However, the bits must be present for references to the special
global MMR space used to map chipset registers. (See uv_hub.h
for more details ...)

Indeed we still rely on apic->read operation for SMP compiled
kernel. And instead of disfigure the SMP code with #ifdef we
allow to call apic->read. To capture any unexpected results
we check for apic->read being called for sane reason via
WARN_ON_ONCE but(!) instead of OR we should use AND logical
operation (thanks Yinghai for spotting the root of the problem).
Along with that we could be have bad MP table and we are
to fix it that way no SMP started and no complains about
BIOS bug if apic was just disabled via command line.

The UV tlb shootdown code has a serious initialization error.
An array of structures [32*8] is initialized as if it were [32].
The array is indexed by (cpu number on the blade)*8, so the short
initialization works for up to 4 cpus on a blade.
But above that, we provide an invalid opcode to the hub's
broadcast assist unit.
This patch changes the allocation of the array to use its symbolic
dimensions for better clarity. And initializes all 32*8 entries.

[PATCH] Remove APIC version/cpu capability mpparse checking/printing
ACPI went to great trouble to get the APIC version and CPU capabilities
of different CPUs before passing them to the mpparser. But all
that data was used was to print it out. Actually it even faked some data
based on the boot cpu, not on the actual CPU being booted.
Remove all this code because it's not needed.
Cc: len.brown@intel.com
At the time, the IOAPIC version number was deliberately not printed
in the x86_64 code path. However, after the x86 and x86_64 files were
merged, the net result is that the IOAPIC version is printed incorrectly
in the x86_64 code path.
The patch below provides a fix. I have tested it with acpi, and with
acpi=off, and did not see any problems.

Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.
Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:
"CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."
As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)
But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:
#x86info -a |grep Pstate
...
Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)
Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page
attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the
first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up
updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the
alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data
corruption. Please read the following threads for more information:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783
The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu
aliases.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157

1. in cpu/common.c::cpu_init() and it is not for BP
| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| if (cpu != 0 && percpu_read(node_number) == 0 &&
| cpu_to_node(cpu) != NUMA_NO_NODE)
| percpu_write(node_number, cpu_to_node(cpu));
| #endif
for BP: traps_init ==> cpu_init
for AP: start_secondary ==> cpu_init
2. cpu/intel.c or amd.c::srat_detect_node via numa_set_node()
for BP: check_bugs ==> identify_boot_cpu ==> identify_cpu()
that is rather later before numa_node_id() is used for BP...
for AP: start_secondary => smp_callin => smp_store_cpu_info() =>
=> identify_secondary_cpu => identify_cpu()
so try to set that for BP earlier in setup_per_cpu_areas(), and
don't bother to set that for APs there (it will be updated later
and will be used later)
(and don't mess the 0 before the copying BP per_cpu data to APs)

according to Ingo, io_apic irq-setup related functions have too many
parameters with a repetitive signature.
So reduce related funcs to get less params by passing a pointer
to a newly defined io_apic_irq_attr structure.
v2: io_apic_irq ==> irq_attr
triggering ==> trigger
v3: add set_io_apic_irq_attr

Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:

| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.
