      x86: move entry_64.S register saving out of the macros · d99015b1
      Alexander van Heukelum authored 
      Here is a combined patch that moves "save_args" out-of-line for
the interrupt macro and moves "error_entry" mostly out-of-line
for the zeroentry and errorentry macros.

The save_args function becomes really straightforward and easy
to understand, with the possible exception of the stack switch
code, which now needs to copy the return address of to the
calling function. Normal interrupts arrive with ((~vector)-0x80)
on the stack, which gets adjusted in common_interrupt:

<common_interrupt>:
(5)  addq   $0xffffffffffffff80,(%rsp)		/* -> ~(vector) */
(4)  sub    $0x50,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5)  callq  ffffffff80214290 <do_IRQ>
<ret_from_intr>:
     ...

An apic interrupt stub now look like this:

<thermal_interrupt>:
(5)  pushq  $0xffffffffffffff05			/* ~(vector) */
(4)  sub    $0x50,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80211290 <save_args>
(5)  callq  ffffffff80212b8f <smp_thermal_interrupt>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff80211f93 <ret_from_intr>

Similarly the exception handler register saving function becomes
simpler, without the need of any parameter shuffling. The stub
for an exception without errorcode looks like this:

<overflow>:
(6)  callq  *0x1cad12(%rip)        # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(2)  pushq  $0xffffffffffffffff			/* no syscall */
(4)  sub    $0x78,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3)  mov    %rsp,%rdi				/* pt_regs pointer */
(2)  xor    %esi,%esi				/* no error code */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80213446 <do_overflow>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>

And one for an exception with errorcode like this:

<segment_not_present>:
(6)  callq  *0x1cab92(%rip)        # ffffffff803dd448 <pv_irq_ops+0x38>
(4)  sub    $0x78,%rsp				/* space for registers */
(5)  callq  ffffffff8030e3b0 <error_entry>
(3)  mov    %rsp,%rdi				/* pt_regs pointer */
(5)  mov    0x78(%rsp),%rsi			/* load error code */
(9)  movq   $0xffffffffffffffff,0x78(%rsp)	/* no syscall */
(5)  callq  ffffffff80213209 <do_segment_not_present>
(5)  jmpq   ffffffff8030e460 <error_exit>

Unfortunately, this last type is more than 32 bytes. But the total space
savings due to this patch is about 2500 bytes on an smp-configuration,
and I think the code is clearer than it was before. The tested kernels
were non-paravirt ones (i.e., without the indirect call at the top of
the exception handlers).

Anyhow, I tested this patch on top of a recent -tip. The machine
was an 2x4-core Xeon at 2333MHz. Measured where the delays between
(almost-)adjacent rdtsc instructions. The graphs show how much
time is spent outside of the program as a function of the measured
delay. The area under the graph represents the total time spent
outside the program. Eight instances of the rdtsctest were
started, each pinned to a single cpu. The histogams are added.
For each kernel two measurements were done: one in mostly idle
condition, the other while running "bonnie++ -f", bound to cpu 0.
Each measurement took 40 minutes runtime. See the attached graphs
for the results. The graphs overlap almost everywhere, but there
are small differences.

      x86, PEBS/DS: fix code flow in ds_request() · 10db4ef7
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      this compiler warning:

  arch/x86/kernel/ds.c: In function 'ds_request':
  arch/x86/kernel/ds.c:368: warning: 'context' may be used uninitialized in this function

Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated
yet.

First allocate the context, then do the other checks.

Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

we applied one patch out of order...

| commit a73aaedd
| Author: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com>
| Date:   Sun Sep 14 02:33:14 2008 -0700
|
|    x86: check dsdt before find oem table for es7000, v2
|
|    v2: use __acpi_unmap_table()

that patch need:

	x86: use early_ioremap in __acpi_map_table
	x86: always explicitly map acpi memory
	acpi: remove final __acpi_map_table mapping before setting acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap
	acpi/x86: introduce __apci_map_table, v4

submitted to the ACPI tree but not upstream yet.

fix it until those patches applied, need to revert this one
