      x86: cleanup early per cpu variables/accesses v4 · 23ca4bba
      Mike Travis authored 
        * Introduce a new PER_CPU macro called "EARLY_PER_CPU".  This is
    used by some per_cpu variables that are initialized and accessed
    before there are per_cpu areas allocated.

    ["Early" in respect to per_cpu variables is "earlier than the per_cpu
    areas have been setup".]

    This patchset adds these new macros:

	DEFINE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name, _initvalue)
	EXPORT_EARLY_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(_name)
	DECLARE_EARLY_PER_CPU(_type, _name)

	early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)
	early_per_cpu_map(_name, _idx)
	early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu)

    The DEFINE macro defines the per_cpu variable as well as the early
    map and pointer.  It also initializes the per_cpu variable and map
    elements to "_initvalue".  The early_* macros provide access to
    the initial map (usually setup during system init) and the early
    pointer.  This pointer is initialized to point to the early map
    but is then NULL'ed when the actual per_cpu areas are setup.  After
    that the per_cpu variable is the correct access to the variable.

    The early_per_cpu() macro is not very efficient but does show how to
    access the variable if you have a function that can be called both
    "early" and "late".  It tests the early ptr to be NULL, and if not
    then it's still valid.  Otherwise, the per_cpu variable is used
    instead:

	#define early_per_cpu(_name, _cpu) 			\
		(early_per_cpu_ptr(_name) ?			\
			early_per_cpu_ptr(_name)[_cpu] :	\
			per_cpu(_name, _cpu))

    A better method is to actually check the pointer manually.  In the
    case below, numa_set_node can be called both "early" and "late":

	void __cpuinit numa_set_node(int cpu, int node)
	{
	    int *cpu_to_node_map = early_per_cpu_ptr(x86_cpu_to_node_map);

	    if (cpu_to_node_map)
		    cpu_to_node_map[cpu] = node;
	    else
		    per_cpu(x86_cpu_to_node_map, cpu) = node;
	}

  * Add a flag "arch_provides_topology_pointers" that indicates pointers
    to topology cpumask_t maps are available.  Otherwise, use the function
    returning the cpumask_t value.  This is useful if cpumask_t set size
    is very large to avoid copying data on to/off of the stack.

  * The coverage of CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS has been increased while
    the non-debug case has been optimized a bit.

  * Remove an unreferenced compiler warning in drivers/base/topology.c

  * Clean up #ifdef in setup.c

For inclusion into sched-devel/latest tree.

      x86: modify Kconfig to allow up to 4096 cpus · 1184dc2f
      Mike Travis authored 
        * Increase the limit of NR_CPUS to 4096 and introduce a boolean
    called "MAXSMP" which when set (e.g. "allyesconfig"), will set
    NR_CPUS = 4096 and NODES_SHIFT = 9 (512).

  * Changed max setting for NODES_SHIFT from 15 to 9 to accurately
    reflect the real limit.

Ok, I think I found it.  In check_nmi_watchdog():

        for (cpu = 0; cpu < NR_CPUS; cpu++)
                prev_nmi_count[cpu] = cpu_pda(cpu)->__nmi_count;

As I mentioned it works fine on both of my systems so could you try it out?

Thanks!
Mike

  * Change function check_nmi_watchdog() to use nr_cpu_ids instead of NR_CPUS.

      also make bus_numa work even if ACPI_NUMA is not defined.

don't call pxm_to_node again, and use node directly.

      x86: make dev_to_node return online node · b755de8d
      Yinghai Lu authored 
      a numa system (with multi HT chains) may return node without ram. Aka it
is not online. Try to get an online node, otherwise return -1.
