Impact: slightly better code generation for percpu_to_op() The processor will sign-extend 32-bit immediate values in 64-bit operations. Use the 'e' constraint ("32-bit signed integer constant, or a symbolic reference known to fit that range") for 64-bit constants.

Impact: x86_64 percpu area layout change, irq_stack now at the beginning Now that the PDA is empty except for the stack canary, it can be removed. The irqstack is moved to the start of the per-cpu section. If the stack protector is enabled, the canary overlaps the bottom 48 bytes of the irqstack. tj: * updated subject * dropped asm relocation of irq_stack_ptr * updated comments a bit * rebased on top of stack canary changes Signed-off-by: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Move the irqstackptr variable from the PDA to per-cpu. Make the stacks themselves per-cpu, removing some specific allocation code. Add a seperate flag (is_boot_cpu) to simplify the per-cpu boot adjustments. tj: * sprinkle some underbars around. * irq_stack_ptr is not used till traps_init(), no reason to initialize it early. On SMP, just leaving it NULL till proper initialization in setup_per_cpu_areas() works. Dropped is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization. * do DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU(char[IRQ_STACK_SIZE], irq_stack) instead of (char, irq_stack[IRQ_STACK_SIZE]).

It is an optimization and a cleanup, and adds the following new generic percpu methods: percpu_read() percpu_write() percpu_add() percpu_sub() percpu_and() percpu_or() percpu_xor() and implements support for them on x86. (other architectures will fall back to a default implementation) The advantage is that for example to read a local percpu variable, instead of this sequence: return __get_cpu_var(var); ffffffff8102ca2b: 48 8b 14 fd 80 09 74 mov -0x7e8bf680(,%rdi,8),%rdx ffffffff8102ca32: 81 ffffffff8102ca33: 48 c7 c0 d8 59 00 00 mov $0x59d8,%rax ffffffff8102ca3a: 48 8b 04 10 mov (%rax,%rdx,1),%rax We can get a single instruction by using the optimized variants: return percpu_read(var); ffffffff8102ca3f: 65 48 8b 05 91 8f fd mov %gs:0x7efd8f91(%rip),%rax I also cleaned up the x86-specific APIs and made the x86 code use these new generic percpu primitives. tj: * fixed generic percpu_sub() definition as Roel Kluin pointed out * added percpu_and() for completeness's sake * made generic percpu ops atomic against preemption Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

pda is now a percpu variable and there's no reason it can't use plain x86 percpu accessors. Add x86_test_and_clear_bit_percpu() and replace pda op implementations with wrappers around x86 percpu accessors. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] As pda is now allocated in percpu area, it can easily be made a proper percpu variable. Make it so by defining per cpu symbol from linker script and declaring it in C code for SMP and simply defining it for UP. This change cleans up code and brings SMP and UP closer a bit.

Now that pda is allocated as part of percpu, percpu doesn't need to be accessed through pda. Unify x86_64 SMP percpu access with x86_32 SMP one. Other than the segment register, operand size and the base of percpu symbols, they behave identical now. This patch replaces now unnecessary pda->data_offset with a dummy field which is necessary to keep stack_canary at its place. This patch also moves per_cpu_offset initialization out of init_gdt() into setup_per_cpu_areas(). Note that this change also necessitates explicit per_cpu_offset initializations in voyager_smp.c. With this change, x86_OP_percpu()'s are as efficient on x86_64 as on x86_32 and also x86_64 can use assembly PER_CPU macros.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] Currently pdas and percpu areas are allocated separately. %gs points to local pda and percpu area can be reached using pda->data_offset. This patch folds pda into percpu area. Due to strange gcc requirement, pda needs to be at the beginning of the percpu area so that pda->stack_canary is at %gs:40. To achieve this, a new percpu output section macro - PERCPU_VADDR_PREALLOC() - is added and used to reserve pda sized chunk at the start of the percpu area. After this change, for boot cpu, %gs first points to pda in the data.init area and later during setup_per_cpu_areas() gets updated to point to the actual pda. This means that setup_per_cpu_areas() need to reload %gs for CPU0 while clearing pda area for other cpus as cpu0 already has modified it when control reaches setup_per_cpu_areas(). This patch also removes now unnecessary get_local_pda() and its call sites. A lot of this patch is taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.

_cpu_pda array first uses statically allocated storage in data.init and then switches to allocated bootmem to conserve space. However, after folding pda area into percpu area, _cpu_pda array will be removed completely. Drop the reallocation part to simplify the code for soon-to-follow changes.

[ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ] CPU startup code in head_64.S loaded address of a zero page into %gs for temporary use till pda is loaded but address to the actual pda is available at the point. Load the real address directly instead. This will help unifying percpu and pda handling later on. This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Fold pda into per cpu area" patch.
