2011-08-10x86-64: Wire up getcpu syscallAndy Lutomirski1-0/+2
getcpu is available as a vdso entry and an emulated vsyscall. Programs that for some reason don't want to use the vdso should still be able to call getcpu without relying on the slow emulated vsyscall. It costs almost nothing to expose it as a real syscall. We also need this for the following patch in vsyscall=native mode.

2011-08-10crypto: sha1 - SSSE3 based SHA1 implementation for x86-64Mathias Krause1-0/+3
This is an assembler implementation of the SHA1 algorithm using the Supplemental SSE3 (SSSE3) instructions or, when available, the Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). Testing with the tcrypt module shows the raw hash performance is up to 2.3 times faster than the C implementation, using 8k data blocks on a Core 2 Duo T5500. For the smalest data set (16 byte) it is still 25% faster. Since this implementation uses SSE/YMM registers it cannot safely be used in every situation, e.g. while an IRQ interrupts a kernel thread. The implementation falls back to the generic SHA1 variant, if using the SSE/YMM registers is not possible. With this algorithm I was able to increase the throughput of a single IPsec link from 344 Mbit/s to 464 Mbit/s on a Core 2 Quad CPU using the SSSE3 variant -- a speedup of +34.8%. Saving and restoring SSE/YMM state might make the actual throughput fluctuate when there are FPU intensive userland applications running. For example, meassuring the performance using iperf2 directly on the machine under test gives wobbling numbers because iperf2 uses the FPU for each packet to check if the reporting interval has expired (in the above test I got min/max/avg: 402/484/464 MBit/s). Using this algorithm on a IPsec gateway gives much more reasonable and stable numbers, albeit not as high as in the directly connected case. Here is the result from an RFC 2544 test run with a EXFO Packet Blazer FTB-8510: frame size sha1-generic sha1-ssse3 delta 64 byte 37.5 MBit/s 37.5 MBit/s 0.0% 128 byte 56.3 MBit/s 62.5 MBit/s +11.0% 256 byte 87.5 MBit/s 100.0 MBit/s +14.3% 512 byte 131.3 MBit/s 150.0 MBit/s +14.2% 1024 byte 162.5 MBit/s 193.8 MBit/s +19.3% 1280 byte 175.0 MBit/s 212.5 MBit/s +21.4% 1420 byte 175.0 MBit/s 218.7 MBit/s +25.0% 1518 byte 150.0 MBit/s 181.2 MBit/s +20.8% The throughput for the largest frame size is lower than for the previous size because the IP packets need to be fragmented in this case to make there way through the IPsec tunnel.

2011-08-05x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15hBorislav Petkov1-0/+31
This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the cores of a compute module. This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation. This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12] slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases. It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86 individually, or both, or be completely disabled. This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families and/or vendors unaffected.

2011-08-04x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt opAndy Lutomirski3-2/+27
Three places in the kernel assume that the only long mode CPL 3 selector is __USER_CS. This is not true on Xen -- Xen's sysretq changes cs to the magic value 0xe033. Two of the places are corner cases, but as of "x86-64: Improve vsyscall emulation CS and RIP handling" (c9712944b2a12373cb6ff8059afcfb7e826a6c54), vsyscalls will segfault if called with Xen's extra CS selector. This causes a panic when older init builds die. It seems impossible to make Xen use __USER_CS reliably without taking a performance hit on every system call, so this fixes the tests instead with a new paravirt op. It's a little ugly because ptrace.h can't include paravirt.h.

2011-07-31x86, random: Architectural inlines to get random integers with RDRANDH. Peter Anvin1-0/+73
Architectural inlines to get random ints and longs using the RDRAND instruction. Intel has introduced a new RDRAND instruction, a Digital Random Number Generator (DRNG), which is functionally an high bandwidth entropy source, cryptographic whitener, and integrity monitor all built into hardware. This enables RDRAND to be used directly, bypassing the kernel random number pool. For technical documentation, see: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/download-the-latest-bull-mountain-software-implementation-guide/ In this patch, this is *only* used for the nonblocking random number pool. RDRAND is a nonblocking source, similar to our /dev/urandom, and is therefore not a direct replacement for /dev/random. The architectural hooks presented in the previous patch only feed the kernel internal users, which only use the nonblocking pool, and so this is not a problem. Since this instruction is available in userspace, there is no reason to have a /dev/hw_rng device driver for the purpose of feeding rngd. This is especially so since RDRAND is a nonblocking source, and needs additional whitening and reduction (see the above technical documentation for details) in order to be of "pure entropy source" quality. The CONFIG_EXPERT compile-time option can be used to disable this use of RDRAND. Signed-off-by: H.

2011-07-26atomic: cleanup asm-generic atomic*.h inclusionArun Sharma1-1/+0
After changing all consumers of atomics to include <linux/atomic.h>, we ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain: linux/atomic.h -> asm/atomic.h -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h without a prototype. This patches moves the code that includes asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

2011-07-22asm-generic: move archictures to common delay.hJonas Bonn1-24/+1
This patch moves the in-tree architectures that were using the 'generic' delay.h over to using the header file in asm-generic. This is not done using the generic-y mechanism as none of these arch's have started using that mechanism yet. This is a trivial change to make later when the arch begins using generic-y. Note the subtle change to the avr32 and SH architectures where the argument to __const_udelay was previously using the rounded down constant value instead of the rounded up value.

2011-07-21x86: Serialize SMP bootup CMOS accesses on rtc_lockJan Beulich1-0/+8
With CPU hotplug, there is a theoretical race between other CMOS (namely RTC) accesses and those done in the SMP secondary processor bringup path. I am unware of the problem having been noticed by anyone in practice, but it would very likely be rather spurious and very hard to reproduce. So to be on the safe side, acquire rtc_lock around those accesses.

2011-07-21x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issueJan Beulich4-21/+67
With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough). A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue. Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less nesting would suffice. However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened to 64 bits.

2011-07-14perf, x86: P4 PMU - Introduce event alias featureCyrill Gorcunov1-0/+33
Instead of hw_nmi_watchdog_set_attr() weak function and appropriate x86_pmu::hw_watchdog_set_attr() call we introduce even alias mechanism which allow us to drop this routines completely and isolate quirks of Netburst architecture inside P4 PMU code only. The main idea remains the same though -- to allow nmi-watchdog and perf top run simultaneously. Note the aliasing mechanism applies to generic PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES event only because arbitrary event (say passed as RAW initially) might have some additional bits set inside ESCR register changing the behaviour of event and we can't guarantee anymore that alias event will give the same result. P.S. Thanks a huge to Don and Steven for for testing and early review.
