      x86: merge 64 and 32 SMP percpu handling · 9939ddaf
      Tejun Heo authored
      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.

      x86: fold pda into percpu area on SMP · 1a51e3a0
      Tejun Heo authored
      [ 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.

      x86: use static _cpu_pda array · c8f3329a
      Tejun Heo authored
      _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.

      x86: load pointer to pda into %gs while brining up a CPU · f32ff538
      Tejun Heo authored
      [ 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.

      x86: make percpu symbols zerobased on SMP · 3e5d8f97
      Tejun Heo authored
      [ Based on original patch from Christoph Lameter and Mike Travis. ]
      
      This patch makes percpu symbols zerobased on x86_64 SMP by adding
      PERCPU_VADDR() to vmlinux.lds.h which helps setting explicit vaddr on
      the percpu output section and using it in vmlinux_64.lds.S.  A new
      PHDR is added as existing ones cannot contain sections near address
      zero.  PERCPU_VADDR() also adds a new symbol __per_cpu_load which
      always points to the vaddr of the loaded percpu data.init region.
      
      The following adjustments have been made to accomodate the address
      change.
      
      * code to locate percpu gdt_page in head_64.S is updated to add the
        load address to the gdt_page offset.
      
      * __per_cpu_load is used in places where access to the init data area
        is necessary.
      
      * pda->data_offset is initialized soon after C code is entered as zero
        value doesn't work anymore.
      
      This patch is mostly taken from Mike Travis' "x86_64: Base percpu
      variables at zero" patch.
