| * | | | IXP42x HSS support for setting internal clock rateKrzysztof Halasa2009-09-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HSS usually uses external clocks, so it's not a big deal. Internal clock is used for direct DTE-DTE connections and when the DCE doesn't provide it's own clock. This also depends on the oscillator frequency. Intel seems to have calculated the clock register settings for 33.33 MHz (66.66 MHz timer base). Their settings seem quite suboptimal both in terms of average frequency (60 ppm is unacceptable for G.703 applications, their primary intended usage(?)) and jitter. Many (most?) platforms use a 33.333 MHz oscillator, a 10 ppm difference from Intel's base. Instead of creating static tables, I've created a procedure to program the HSS clock register. The register consists of 3 parts (A, B, C). The average frequency (= bit rate) is: 66.66x MHz / (A + (B + 1) / (C + 1)) The procedure aims at the closest average frequency, possibly at the cost of increased jitter. Nobody would be able to directly drive an unbufferred transmitter with a HSS anyway, and the frequency error is what it really counts. I've verified the above with an oscilloscope on IXP425. It seems IXP46x and possibly IXP43x use a bit different clock generation algorithm - it looks like the avg frequency is: (on IXP465) 66.66x MHz / (A + B / (C + 1)). Also they use much greater precomputed A and B - on IXP425 it would simply result in more jitter, but I don't know how does it work on IXP46x (perhaps 3 least significant bits aren't used?). Anyway it looks that they were aiming for exactly +60 ppm or -60 ppm, while <1 ppm is typically possible (with a synchronized clock, of course). The attached patch makes it possible to set almost any bit rate (my IXP425 533 MHz quits at > 22 Mb/s if a single port is used, and the minimum is ca. 65 Kb/s). This is independent of MVIP (multi-E1/T1 on one HSS) mode. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Hałasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a 32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00. The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort. A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a 32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its internal information, which is worse than it not getting the information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event. A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for 64-bit quantities. In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was suggested by David Miller, my original approach required always sending two skbs but that had various small problems. To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg parameter. I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read() rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong (64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do this, nor would it be a regression. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

A compiler barrier is not sufficient because the CPU's ordering rules do not prevent the read xl->spinners from happening before the unlock assignment, as they are different memory locations. We need to have an explicit barrier to enforce the write-read ordering to different memory locations. Because of it, I can't bring up > 4 HVM guests on one SMP machine.

However, at present if we manage to pick up the spinlock just before blocking, we'll end up holding the lock with interrupts enabled for a while. This will cause a deadlock if we recieve an interrupt in that window, and the interrupt handler tries to take the lock too. Solve this by shrinking the interrupt-enabled region to just around the blocking call.

On x86-64, this is simply an offset of %gs, which is the usual per-cpu base segment register, so setting it up simply requires loading %gs's base as normal. On i386, the stack protector segment is %gs (rather than the usual kernel percpu %fs segment register). This requires setting up the full kernel GDT and then loading %gs accordingly. We also need to make sure %gs is initialized when bringing up secondary cpus too. To keep things consistent, we do the full GDT/segment register setup on both architectures. Because we need to avoid -fstack-protected code before setting up the GDT and because there's no way to disable it on a per-function basis, several files need to have stack-protector inhibited.

Move definition of current_task to kernel/cpu/common.c right above kernel_stack definition and align it to cacheline so that they always fall into the same cacheline. Two percpu variables defined there together - irq_stack_ptr and irq_count - are also pretty hot and will benefit from sharing the cacheline. For consistency, current_task definition for x86_32 is also moved to kernel/cpu/common.c. Putting current_task and kernel_stack into the same cacheline was suggested by Linus Torvalds.

After all, it's what they claim to do. Add __aligned(PAGE_SIZE) to DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() and drop explicit alignment from it users.
