Consider a kernel crash in a module, simulated the following way:
static int my_init(void)
{
char *map = (void *)0x5;
*map = 3;
return 0;
}
module_init(my_init);
When we turn off FRAME_POINTERs, the very first instruction in
that function causes a BUG. The problem is that we print IP in
the BUG report using %pB (from printk_address). And %pB
decrements the pointer by one to fix printing addresses of
functions with tail calls.
This was added in commit 71f9e59800 ("x86, dumpstack: Use
%pB format specifier for stack trace") to fix the call stack
printouts.
So instead of correct output:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa01ac000>] my_init+0x0/0x10 [pb173]
We get:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000005
IP: [<ffffffffa0152000>] 0xffffffffa0151fff
To fix that, we use %pS only for stack addresses printouts (via
newly added printk_stack_address) and %pB for regs->ip (via
printk_address). I.e. we revert to the old behaviour for all
except call stacks. And since from all those reliable is 1, we
remove that parameter from printk_address.

This reverts commit 8eba18428a.
uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.
That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.
So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

This patch restores the capability to enter KDB (and KGDB) from
the UV NMI handler. This is needed because the UV system
console is not capable of sending the 'break' signal to the
serial console port. It is also useful when the kernel is hung
in such a way that it isn't responding to normal external I/O,
so sending 'g' to sysreq-trigger does not work either.
Another benefit of the external NMI command is that all the cpus
receive the NMI signal at roughly the same time so they are more
closely aligned timewise.
It utilizes the newly added kgdb_nmicallin function to gain
entry to KGDB/KDB by the master. The slaves still enter via the
standard kgdb_nmicallback function. It also uses the new
'send_ready' pointer to tell KGDB/KDB to signal the slaves when
to proceed into the KGDB slave loop.
It is enabled when the nmi action is set to "kdb" and the kernel
is built with CONFIG_KDB enabled. Note that if kgdb is
connected that interface will be used instead.

The current UV NMI handler has not been updated for the changes
in the system NMI handler and the perf operations. The UV NMI
handler reads an MMR in the UV Hub to check to see if the NMI
event was caused by the external 'system NMI' that the operator
can initiate on the System Mgmt Controller.
The problem arises when the perf tools are running, causing
millions of perf events per second on very large CPU count
systems. Previously this was okay because the perf NMI handler
ran at a higher priority on the NMI call chain and if the NMI
was a perf event, it would stop calling other NMI handlers
remaining on the NMI call chain.
Now the system NMI handler calls all the handlers on the NMI
call chain including the UV NMI handler. This causes the UV NMI
handler to read the MMRs at the same millions per second rate.
This can lead to significant performance loss and possible
system failures. It also can cause thousands of 'Dazed and
Confused' messages being sent to the system console. This
effectively makes perf tools unusable on UV systems.
To avoid this excessive overhead when perf tools are running,
this code has been optimized to minimize reading of the MMRs as
much as possible, by moving to the NMI_UNKNOWN notifier chain.
This chain is called only when all the users on the standard
NMI_LOCAL call chain have been called and none of them have
claimed this NMI.
There is an exception where the NMI_LOCAL notifier chain is
used. When the perf tools are in use, it's possible that the UV
NMI was captured by some other NMI handler and then either
ignored or mistakenly processed as a perf event. We set a
per_cpu ('ping') flag for those CPUs that ignored the initial
NMI, and then send them an IPI NMI signal. The NMI_LOCAL
handler on each cpu does not need to read the MMR, but instead
checks the in memory flag indicating it was pinged. There are
two module variables, 'ping_count' indicating how many requested
NMI events occurred, and 'ping_misses' indicating how many stray
NMI events. These most likely are perf events so it shows the
overhead of the perf NMI interrupts and how many MMR reads were avoided.
This patch also minimizes the reads of the MMRs by having the
first cpu entering the NMI handler on each node set a per HUB
in-memory atomic value. (Having a per HUB value avoids sending
lock traffic over NumaLink.) Both types of UV NMIs from the SMI
layer are supported.

matters most for TLB shootdowns.
[ I don't agree with all aspects of the current approach: in hindsight
it would have been better to link the BAU at the IPI/APIC driver

really just one of the uses of broadcast SMP messages. Doing that
would improve scalability in some other ways and it would also
remove a few uglies from the TLB path. It would also be nice to

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.

On SGI's UV2 the BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) driver can hang
under a heavy load. To cure this:
- Disable the UV2 extended status mode (see UV2_EXT_SHFT), as
this mode changes BAU behavior in more ways then just delivering
an extra bit of status. Revert status to just two meaningful bits,
like UV1.
- Use no IPI-style resets on UV2. Just give up the request for
whatever the reason it failed and let it be accomplished with
the legacy IPI method.
- Use no alternate sending descriptor (the former UV2 workaround
bcp->using_desc and handle_uv2_busy() stuff). Just disable the
use of the BAU for a period of time in favor of the legacy IPI
method when the h/w bug leaves a descriptor busy.
-- new tunable: giveup_limit determines the threshold at which a hub is
so plugged that it should do all requests with the legacy IPI method for a
period of time
-- generalize disable_for_congestion() (renamed disable_for_period()) for
use whenever a hub should avoid using the BAU for a period of time
Also:
- Fix find_another_by_swack(), which is part of the UV2 bug workaround
- Correct and clarify the statistics (new stats s_overipilimit, s_giveuplimit,
s_enters, s_ipifordisabled, s_plugged, s_congested)

The SGI Altix UV2 BAU (Broadcast Assist Unit) as used for
tlb-shootdown (selective broadcast mode) always uses UV2
broadcast descriptor format. There is no need to clear the
'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode
for selective broadcast.
But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the
hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general
broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

Current cpu_mask_to_apicid() and cpu_mask_to_apicid_and()
implementations have few shortcomings:
1. A value returned by cpu_mask_to_apicid() is written to
hardware registers unconditionally. Should BAD_APICID get ever
returned it will be written to a hardware too. But the value of
BAD_APICID is not universal across all hardware in all modes and
might cause unexpected results, i.e. interrupts might get routed
to CPUs that are not configured to receive it.
2. Because the value of BAD_APICID is not universal it is
counter- intuitive to return it for a hardware where it does not
make sense (i.e. x2apic).
3. cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() operation is thought as an
complement to cpu_mask_to_apicid() that only applies a AND mask
on top of a cpumask being passed. Yet, as consequence of 18374d8
commit the two operations are inconsistent in that of:
cpu_mask_to_apicid() should not get a offline CPU with the cpumask
cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() should not fail and return BAD_APICID
These limitations are impossible to realize just from looking at
the operations prototypes.
Most of these shortcomings are resolved by returning a error
code instead of BAD_APICID. As the result, faults are reported
back early rather than possibilities to cause a unexpected
behaviour exist (in case of [1]).
The only exception is setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() routine. Although
obviously controversial to this fix, its existing behaviour is
preserved to not break the fragile check_timer() and would
better addressed in a separate fix.

The interrupt chip irq_set_affinity() functions copy the affinity mask
to irq_data->affinity but return 0, i.e. IRQ_SET_MASK_OK.
IRQ_SET_MASK_OK causes the core code to do another redundant copy.
Return IRQ_SET_MASK_OK_NOCOPY to avoid this.

Lower the rating of the UV rtc clocksource to just below that of
the tsc, to improve performance.
Reading the tsc clocksource has lower latency than reading the
rtc, so favor it in situations where it is synchronized and
stable. When the tsc is unsynchronized, the rtc needs to be the
chosen clocksource.

This patch implements a workaround for a UV2 hardware bug.
The bug is a non-atomic update of a memory-mapped register. When
hardware message delivery and software message acknowledge occur
simultaneously the pending message acknowledge for the arriving
message may be lost. This causes the sender's message status to
stay busy.
Part of the workaround is to not acknowledge a completed message
until it is verified that no other message is actually using the
resource that is mistakenly recorded in the completed message.
Part of the workaround is to test for long elapsed time in such
a busy condition, then handle it by using a spare sending
descriptor. The stay-busy condition is eventually timed out by
hardware, and then the original sending descriptor can be
re-used. Most of that logic change is in keeping track of the
current descriptor and the state of the spares.
The occurrences of the workaround are added to the BAU
statistics.

This is a workaround for a UV2 hub bug that affects the format of system
global addresses.
The GRU API for UV2 was inadvertently broken by a hardware change. The
format of the physical address used for TLB dropins and for addresses used
with instructions running in unmapped mode has changed. This change was
not documented and became apparent only when diags failed running on
system simulators.
For UV1, TLB and GRU instruction physical addresses are identical to
socket physical addresses (although high NASID bits must be OR'ed into the
address).
For UV2, socket physical addresses need to be converted. The NODE portion
of the physical address needs to be shifted so that the low bit is in bit
39 or bit 40, depending on an MMR value.
It is not yet clear if this bug will be fixed in a silicon respin. If it
is fixed, the hub revision will be incremented & the workaround disabled.

SGI UV's uv_tlb.c driver has become rather hard to read, with overly large
functions, non-standard coding style and (way) too long variable, constant
and function names and non-obvious code flow sequences.
This patch improves the readability and maintainability of the driver
significantly, by doing the following strict code cleanups with no side
effects:
- Split long functions into shorter logical functions.
- Shortened some variable and structure member names.
- Added special functions for reads and writes of MMR regs with
very long names.
- Added the 'tunables' table to shortened tunables_write().
- Added the 'stat_description' table to shorten uv_ptc_proc_write().
- Pass fewer 'stat' arguments where it can be derived from the 'bcp'
argument.
- Function definitions consistent on one line, and inline in few (short) cases.
- Moved some small structures and an atomic inline function to the header file.
- Moved some local variables to the blocks where they are used.
- Updated the copyright date.
- Shortened uv_write_global_mmr64() etc. using some aliasing; no
line breaks. Renamed many uv_.. functions that are not exported.
- Aligned structure fields.
[ note that not all structures are aligned the same way though; I'd like
to keep the extensive commenting in some of them. ]
- Shortened some long structure names.
- Standard pass/fail exit from init_per_cpu()
- Vertical alignment for mass initializations.
- More separation between blocks of code.
Tested on a 16-processor Altix UV.

This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
blades into a larger coherent SSI.
For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.

This is a fix for the SGI Altix-UV Broadcast Assist Unit code,
which is used for TLB flushing.
Certain hardware configurations (that customers are ordering)
cause nasids (numa address space id's) to be non-consecutive.
Specifically, once you have more than 4 blades in a IRU
(Individual Rack Unit - or 1/2 rack) but less than the maximum
of 16, the nasid numbering becomes non-consecutive. This
currently results in a 'catastrophic error' (CATERR) detected by
the firmware during OS boot. The BAU is generating an 'INTD'
request that is targeting a non-existent nasid value. Such
configurations may also occur when a blade is configured off
because of hardware errors. (There is one UV hub per blade.)
This patch is required to support such configurations.
The problem with the tlb_uv.c code is that is using the
consecutive hub numbers as indices to the BAU distribution bit
map. These are simply the ordinal position of the hub or blade
within its partition. It should be using physical node numbers
(pnodes), which correspond to the physical nasid values. Use of
the hub number only works as long as the nasids in the partition
are consecutive and increase with a stride of 1.
This patch changes the index to be the pnode number, thus
allowing nasids to be non-consecutive.
It also provides a table in local memory for each cpu to
translate target cpu number to target pnode and nasid.
And it improves naming to properly reflect 'node' and 'uvhub'
versus 'nasid'.
