In unexpected_thermal_interrupt(), "LVT TMR interrupt" is used
in error message.
I don't think TMR is a suitable abbreviation for thermal.
1.TMR has been used in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual, and is the abbreviation for Trigger Mode Register.
2.There is not an standard abbreviation "TMR" defined for thermal
in IA32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual.
3.Though we could understand it as Thermal Monitor Register, it is
easy to be misunderstood as a *TIMER* interrupt also.
I think this patch will fix it.

Old 32-bit AMD CPUs (all w/o L3 cache) should always return 0
for cpuid_edx(0x80000006).
For unknown reason the 32-bit implementation differed from the

Current code tramples over bit F3x90[6] which can be used to

for performance reasons (speed up GART table walks). We are
allowed to do that since we put GART tables in UC memory later
anyway. Make it so.

When the PMU is enabled it is valid to have unhandled nmis, two
events could trigger 'simultaneously' raising two back-to-back
NMIs. If the first NMI handles both, the latter will be empty
and daze the CPU.
The solution to avoid an 'unknown nmi' massage in this case was
simply to stop the nmi handler chain when the PMU is enabled by
stating the nmi was handled. This has the drawback that a) we
can not detect unknown nmis anymore, and b) subsequent nmi
handlers are not called.
This patch addresses this. Now, we check this unknown NMI if it
could be a PMU back-to-back NMI. Otherwise we pass it and let
the kernel handle the unknown nmi.
This is a debug log:

For back-to-back nmi detection there are the following rules:
The PMU nmi handler was handling more than one counter and no
counter was handled in the subsequent nmi (see [1] and [2]
above).
There is another case if there are two subsequent back-to-back
nmis [3]. The 2nd is detected as back-to-back because the first
handled more than one counter. If the second handles one counter
and the 3rd handles nothing, we drop the 3rd nmi because it
could be a back-to-back nmi.

During testing of a patch to stop having the perf subsytem
swallow nmis, it was uncovered that Nehalem boxes were randomly
getting unknown nmis when using the perf tool.
Moving the ack'ing of the PMI closer to when we get the status
allows the hardware to properly re-set the PMU bit signaling
another PMI was triggered during the processing of the first
PMI. This allows the new logic for dealing with the
shortcomings of multiple PMIs to handle the extra NMI by
'eat'ing it later.
Now one can wonder why are we getting a second PMI when we
disable all the PMUs in the begining of the NMI handler to
prevent such a case, for that I do not know. But I know the fix
below helps deal with this quirk.
Tested on multiple Nehalems where the problem was occuring.
With the patch, the code now loops a second time to handle the
second PMI (whereas before it was not).

6b37f5a20c introduced the CPU frequency
calibration code for AMD CPUs whose TSCs didn't increment with the
core's P0 frequency. From F10h, revB onward, however, the TSC increment
rate is denoted by MSRC001_0015[24] and when this bit is set (which
should be done by the BIOS) the TSC increments with the P0 frequency
so the calibration is not needed and booting can be a couple of mcecs
faster on those machines.
Besides, there should be virtually no machines out there which don't
have this bit set, therefore this calibration can be safely removed. It
is a shaky hack anyway since it assumes implicitly that the core is in
P0 when BIOS hands off to the OS, which might not always be the case.

TSC's get reset after suspend/resume (even on cpu's with invariant TSC
which runs at a constant rate across ACPI P-, C- and T-states). And in
some systems BIOS seem to reinit TSC to arbitrary large value (still
sync'd across cpu's) during resume.
This leads to a scenario of scheduler rq->clock (sched_clock_cpu()) less
than rq->age_stamp (introduced in 2.6.32). This leads to a big value
returned by scale_rt_power() and the resulting big group power set by the
update_group_power() is causing improper load balancing between busy and
idle cpu's after suspend/resume.
This resulted in multi-threaded workloads (like kernel-compilation) go
slower after suspend/resume cycle on core i5 laptops.
Fix this by recomputing cyc2ns_offset's during resume, so that
sched_clock() continues from the point where it was left off during
suspend.

the fact that there's no sane reason for making an already complex
code unnecessarily more complex - we hit the issue only when insanely
switching cores off- and online - serialize hotplugging cores on the

Now that software events don't have interrupt disabled anymore in
the event path, callchains can nest on any context. So seperating
nmi and others contexts in two buffers has become racy.
Fix this by providing one buffer per nesting level. Given the size
of the callchain entries (2040 bytes * 4), we now need to allocate
them dynamically.
v2: Fixed put_callchain_entry call after recursion.
Fix the type of the recursion, it must be an array.
v3: Use a manual pr cpu allocation (temporary solution until NMIs
can safely access vmalloc'ed memory).
Do a better separation between callchain reference tracking and
allocation. Make the "put" path lockless for non-release cases.

This patch fixes machine crashes which occur when heavily exercising the
CPU hotplug codepaths on a 32-bit kernel. These crashes are caused by
AMD Erratum 383 and result in a fatal machine check exception. Here's
the scenario:
1. On 32-bit, the swapper_pg_dir page table is used as the initial page
table for booting a secondary CPU.
2. To make this work, swapper_pg_dir needs a direct mapping of physical
memory in it (the low mappings). By adding those low, large page (2M)
mappings (PAE kernel), we create the necessary conditions for Erratum
383 to occur.
3. Other CPUs which do not participate in the off- and onlining game may
use swapper_pg_dir while the low mappings are present (when leave_mm is
called). For all steps below, the CPU referred to is a CPU that is using
swapper_pg_dir, and not the CPU which is being onlined.
4. The presence of the low mappings in swapper_pg_dir can result
in TLB entries for addresses below __PAGE_OFFSET to be established
speculatively. These TLB entries are marked global and large.
5. When the CPU with such TLB entry switches to another page table, this
TLB entry remains because it is global.
6. The process then generates an access to an address covered by the
above TLB entry but there is a permission mismatch - the TLB entry
covers a large global page not accessible to userspace.
7. Due to this permission mismatch a new 4kb, user TLB entry gets
established. Further, Erratum 383 provides for a small window of time
where both TLB entries are present. This results in an uncorrectable
machine check exception signalling a TLB multimatch which panics the
machine.
There are two ways to fix this issue:
1. Always do a global TLB flush when a new cr3 is loaded and the
old page table was swapper_pg_dir. I consider this a hack hard
to understand and with performance implications
2. Do not use swapper_pg_dir to boot secondary CPUs like 64-bit
does.
This patch implements solution 2. It introduces a trampoline_pg_dir
which has the same layout as swapper_pg_dir with low_mappings. This page
table is used as the initial page table of the booting CPU. Later in the
bringup process, it switches to swapper_pg_dir and does a global TLB
flush. This fixes the crashes in our test cases.
-v2: switch to swapper_pg_dir right after entering start_secondary() so
that we are able to access percpu data which might not be mapped in the
trampoline page table.

A bug in the family-model-stepping matching code caused the presence of
errata to go undetected when OSVW was not used. This causes hangs on
some K8 systems because the E400 workaround is not enabled.

Fix the Errata AAK100/AAP53/BD53 workaround, the officialy documented
workaround we implemented in:
11164cd: perf, x86: Add Nehelem PMU programming errata workaround
doesn't actually work fully and causes a stuck PMU state
under load and non-functioning perf profiling.
A functional workaround was found by trial & error.
Affects all Nehalem-class Intel PMUs.

Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:
arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type
This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to. This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().
do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.
Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.
This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

fpu.state is allocated from task_xstate_cachep, the size of task_xstate_cachep
is xstate_size. xstate_size is set from cpuid instruction, which is often
smaller than sizeof(struct xsave_struct). kvm is using sizeof(struct xsave_struct)
to fill in/out fpu.state.xsave, as what we allocated for fpu.state is
xstate_size, kernel will write out of memory and caused poison/redzone/padding
overwritten warnings.
