      Documentation/ABI: Document umwait control sysfs interfaces · 203dffac
      Fenghua Yu authored 
      Since two new sysfs interface files are created for umwait control, add
an ABI document entry for the files:

   /sys/devices/system/cpu/umwait_control/enable_c02
   /sys/devices/system/cpu/umwait_control/max_time

      x86/umwait: Add sysfs interface to control umwait maximum time · bd9a0c97
      Fenghua Yu authored 
      IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL[31:2] determines the maximum time in TSC-quanta
that processor can stay in C0.1 or C0.2. A zero value means no maximum
time.

Each instruction sets its own deadline in the instruction's implicit
input EDX:EAX value. The instruction wakes up if the time-stamp counter
reaches or exceeds the specified deadline, or the umwait maximum time
expires, or a store happens in the monitored address range in umwait.

The administrator can write an unsigned 32-bit number to
/sys/devices/system/cpu/umwait_control/max_time to change the default
value. Note that a value of zero means there is no limit. The lower two
bits of the value must be zero.

      x86/umwait: Add sysfs interface to control umwait C0.2 state · ff4b353f
      Fenghua Yu authored 
      C0.2 state in umwait and tpause instructions can be enabled or disabled
on a processor through IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL MSR register.

By default, C0.2 is enabled and the user wait instructions results in
lower power consumption with slower wakeup time.

But in real time systems which require faster wakeup time although power
savings could be smaller, the administrator needs to disable C0.2 and all
umwait invocations from user applications use C0.1.

Create a sysfs interface which allows the administrator to control C0.2
state during run time.

Andy Lutomirski suggested to turn off local irqs before writing the MSR to
ensure the cached control value is not changed by a concurrent sysfs write
from a different CPU via IPI.

[ tglx: Simplified the update logic in the write function and got rid of
  	all the convoluted type casts. Added a shared update function and
	made the namespace consistent. Moved the sysfs create invocation.

      x86/umwait: Initialize umwait control values · bd688c69
      Fenghua Yu authored 
      umwait or tpause allows the processor to enter a light-weight
power/performance optimized state (C0.1 state) or an improved
power/performance optimized state (C0.2 state) for a period specified by
the instruction or until the system time limit or until a store to the
monitored address range in umwait.

IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL MSR register allows the OS to enable/disable C0.2 on
the processor and to set the maximum time the processor can reside in C0.1
or C0.2.

By default C0.2 is enabled so the user wait instructions can enter the
C0.2 state to save more power with slower wakeup time.

Andy Lutomirski proposed to set the maximum umwait time to 100000 cycles by
default. A quote from Andy:

  "What I want to avoid is the case where it works dramatically differently
   on NO_HZ_FULL systems as compared to everything else. Also, UMWAIT may
   behave a bit differently if the max timeout is hit, and I'd like that
   path to get exercised widely by making it happen even on default
   configs."

A sysfs interface to adjust the time and the C0.2 enablement is provided in
a follow up change.

[ tglx: Renamed MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL_MAX_TIME to
  	MSR_IA32_UMWAIT_CONTROL_TIME_MASK because the constant is used as
  	mask throughout the code.

      x86/cpufeatures: Enumerate user wait instructions · 6dbbf5ec
      Fenghua Yu authored 
      umonitor, umwait, and tpause are a set of user wait instructions.

umonitor arms address monitoring hardware using an address. The
address range is determined by using CPUID.0x5. A store to
an address within the specified address range triggers the
monitoring hardware to wake up the processor waiting in umwait.

umwait instructs the processor to enter an implementation-dependent
optimized state while monitoring a range of addresses. The optimized
state may be either a light-weight power/performance optimized state
(C0.1 state) or an improved power/performance optimized state
(C0.2 state).

tpause instructs the processor to enter an implementation-dependent
optimized state C0.1 or C0.2 state and wake up when time-stamp counter
reaches specified timeout.

The three instructions may be executed at any privilege level.

The instructions provide power saving method while waiting in
user space. Additionally, they can allow a sibling hyperthread to
make faster progress while this thread is waiting. One example of an
application usage of umwait is when waiting for input data from another
application, such as a user level multi-threaded packet processing
engine.

Availability of the user wait instructions is indicated by the presence
of the CPUID feature flag WAITPKG CPUID.0x07.0x0:ECX[5].

Detailed information on the instructions and CPUID feature WAITPKG flag
can be found in the latest Intel Architecture Instruction Set Extensions
and Future Features Programming Reference and Intel 64 and IA-32
Architectures Software Developer's Manual.

      Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford:
 "This is probably our last -rc pull request. We don't have anything
  else outstanding at the moment anyway, and with the summer months on
  us and people taking trips, I expect the next weeks leading up to the
  merge window to be pretty calm and sedate.

  This has two simple, no brainer fixes for the EFA driver.

  Then it has ten not quite so simple fixes for the hfi1 driver. The
  problem with them is that they aren't simply one liner typo fixes.
  They're still fixes, but they're more complex issues like livelock
  under heavy load where the answer was to change work queue usage and
  spinlock usage to resolve the problem, or issues with orphaned
  requests during certain types of failures like link down which
  required some more complex work to fix too. They all look like
  legitimate fixes to me, they just aren't small like I wish they were.

  Summary:

   - 2 minor EFA fixes

   - 10 hfi1 fixes related to scaling issues"
