calibrate_delay() must be __cpuinit, not __{dev,}init. I've verified that this is correct for all users. While doing the latter, I also did the following cleanups: - remove pointless additional prototypes in C files - ensure all users #include <linux/delay.h> This fixes the following section mismatches with CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n, CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1128d): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'check_cx686_slop' and 'set_cx86_reorder') WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x25102): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:calibrate_delay (between 'smp_callin' and 'cpu_coregroup_map') Signed-off-by:

Change static bios_cpu_apicid array to a per_cpu data variable. This includes using a static array used during initialization similar to the way x86_cpu_to_apicid[] is handled. There is one early use of bios_cpu_apicid in apic_is_clustered_box(). The other reference in cpu_present_to_apicid() is called after smp_set_apicids() has setup the percpu version of bios_cpu_apicid.

Change the following static arrays sized by NR_CPUS to per_cpu data variables: char cpu_to_node_map[NR_CPUS]; fixup: - Split cpu_to_node function into "early" and "late" versions so that x86_cpu_to_node_map_early_ptr is not EXPORT'ed and the cpu_to_node inline function is more streamlined. - This also involves setting up the percpu maps as early as possible. - Fix X86_32 NUMA build errors that previous version of this patch caused. V2->V3: - add early_cpu_to_node function to keep cpu_to_node efficient - move and rename smp_set_apicids() to setup_percpu_maps() - call setup_percpu_maps() as early as possible V1->V2: - Removed extraneous casts - Fix !NUMA builds with '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA" Signed-off-by:

Its previous use in a call to on_each_cpu() was pointless, as at the time that code gets executed only one CPU is online. Further, the function can be __cpuinit, and for this to work without CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU setup_nmi() must also get an attribute (this one can even be __init; on 64-bits check_timer() also was lacking that attribute).

We have a lot of code which differs only by the naming of specific members of structures that contain registers. In order to enable additional unifications, this patch drops the e- or r- size prefix from the register names in struct pt_regs, and drops the x- prefixes for segment registers on the 32-bit side. This patch also performs the equivalent renames in some additional places that might be candidates for unification in the future. Signed-off-by:

cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus. When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes 3,145,728 bytes. These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code. An additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu index. This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the per_cpu index. It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo(). cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP case. Signed-off-by:

This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions. MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup. For this case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch() and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is initialized. A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64. Signed-off-by:

That resulted in node_to_cpumask(0) resulting in 00000000 - confusing the sched-domains setup code. Signed-off-by:

This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter': cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu. If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated for each processor as it comes online. This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed when they are allocated. I commented the code out. Signed-off-by:

Ingo Molnar authored
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'. this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the balancing code pretty undeterministic as well. (and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-) under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline' tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

Applied fix by Andew Morton: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'. AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors in Multi-Processing Environments. Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2): 7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments "In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here) "Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity. Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors." Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors, but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary processor, is not handled yet. In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init() did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the time when that secondary processors is actually booted, causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors. Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode. The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI code runs acpi_enable(). Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor before new secondary processors are started. When the secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs. If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state as an empty statement because there is nothing to do. Possible TODOs: *) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested with this patch. *) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up, then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and mtrr_save_state() would not be needed. That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or at least a test on a >2 CPU machine. *) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch, but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so far which would require this. AK: moved prototypes on x86-64 around to fix warnings Signed-off-by:

Currently x86 (similar to x84-64) has a special per-cpu structure called "i386_pda" which can be easily and efficiently referenced via the %fs register. An ELF section is more flexible than a structure, allowing any piece of code to use this area. Indeed, such a section already exists: the per-cpu area. So this patch: (1) Removes the PDA and uses per-cpu variables for each current member. (2) Replaces the __KERNEL_PDA segment with __KERNEL_PERCPU. (3) Creates a per-cpu mirror of __per_cpu_offset called this_cpu_off, which can be used to calculate addresses for this CPU's variables. (4) Simplifies startup, because %fs doesn't need to be loaded with a special segment at early boot; it can be deferred until the first percpu area is allocated (or never for UP). The result is less code and one less x86-specific concept. Signed-off-by:
