ACPI / cpuidle: Fix NULL pointer issues when cpuidle is disabled

2014-02-10T21:11:13Z

commit b88a634a903d9670aa5f2f785aa890628ce0dece upstream. If cpuidle is disabled, that means that: per_cpu(acpi_cpuidle_device, pr->id) is set to NULL as the acpi_processor_power_init ends up failing at retval = cpuidle_register_driver(&acpi_idle_driver) (in acpi_processor_power_init) and never sets the per_cpu idle device. So when acpi_processor_hotplug on CPU online notification tries to reference said device it crashes: cpu 3 spinlock event irq 62 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000004 IP: [] acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_cx+0x3f/0x105 PGD a259b067 PUD ab38b067 PMD 0 Oops: 0002 [#1] SMP odules linked in: dm_multipath dm_mod xen_evtchn iscsi_boot_sysfs iscsi_tcp libiscsi_tcp libiscsi scsi_transport_iscsi libcrc32c crc32c nouveau mxm_wmi wmi radeon ttm sg sr_mod sd_mod cdrom ata_generic ata_piix libata crc32c_intel scsi_mod atl1c i915 fbcon tileblit font bitblit softcursor drm_kms_helper video xen_blkfront xen_netfront fb_sys_fops sysimgblt sysfillrect syscopyarea xenfs xen_privcmd mperf CPU 1 Pid: 3047, comm: bash Not tainted 3.8.0-rc3upstream-00250-g165c029 #1 MSI MS-7680/H61M-P23 (MS-7680) RIP: e030:[] [] acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_cx+0x3f/0x105 RSP: e02b:ffff88001742dca8 EFLAGS: 00010202 RAX: 0000000000010be9 RBX: ffff8800a0a61800 RCX: ffff880105380000 RDX: 0000000000000003 RSI: 0000000000000200 RDI: ffff8800a0a61800 RBP: ffff88001742dce8 R08: ffffffff81812360 R09: 0000000000000200 R10: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa R11: 0000000000000001 R12: ffff8800a0a61800 R13: 00000000ffffff01 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffffffff81a907a0 FS: 00007fd6942f7700(0000) GS:ffff880105280000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: e033 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000000004 CR3: 00000000a6773000 CR4: 0000000000042660 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process bash (pid: 3047, threadinfo ffff88001742c000, task ffff880017944000) Stack: 0000000000000150 ffff880100f59e00 ffff88001742dcd8 ffff8800a0a61800 0000000000000000 00000000ffffff01 0000000000000000 ffffffff81a907a0 ffff88001742dd18 ffffffff813815b1 ffff88001742dd08 ffffffff810ae336 Call Trace: [] acpi_processor_hotplug+0x7c/0x9f [] ? schedule_delayed_work_on+0x16/0x20 [] acpi_cpu_soft_notify+0x90/0xca [] notifier_call_chain+0x4d/0x70 [] __raw_notifier_call_chain+0x9/0x10 [] __cpu_notify+0x1b/0x30 [] _cpu_up+0x103/0x14b [] cpu_up+0xd9/0xec [] store_online+0x94/0xd0 [] dev_attr_store+0x1b/0x20 [] sysfs_write_file+0xf4/0x170 This patch fixes it.

ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it

2010-08-02T17:30:11Z

commit 718be4aaf3613cf7c2d097f925abc3d3553c0605 upstream. It turns out that there is a bit in the _CST for Intel FFH C3 that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not. Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS. If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS, it can retard or completely prevent entry into deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat: http://userweb.kernel.org/~lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/turbostat/ ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding" Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15886 Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entry

2010-02-22T18:10:14Z

ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU. This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based deep C-state. The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based deep C-states are being used). Fixes "netperf ~50% regression with 2.6.33-rc1, bisect to 1b9508f" http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126441481427331&w=4 Reported-by: Lin Ming Tested-by: Alex Shi Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI: fix High cpu temperature with 2.6.32

2010-02-16T09:11:27Z

Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop before the patch in .32). The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1. The new governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines. This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies; by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).

ACPI: allow C3 > 1000usec

2010-01-20T05:54:15Z

Do for C3 what the previous patch did for C2. The C2 patch was in response to a highly visible and multiply reported C-state/turbo failure, while this change has no bug report in-hand. This will enable C3 in Linux on systems where BIOS overstates C3 latency in _CST. It will also enable future systems which may actually have C3 > 1000usec. Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C3 with exit latency > 1000 usec, and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C3. However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states have no latency limits. So move the 1000usec C3 test out of the code shared by FADT and _CST code-paths, and into the FADT-specific path. Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI: enable C2 and Turbo-mode on Nehalem notebooks on A/C

2010-01-20T05:54:01Z

Linux has always ignored ACPI BIOS C2 with exit latency > 100 usec, and the ACPI spec is clear that is correct FADT-supplied C2. However, the ACPI spec explicitly states that _CST-supplied C-states have no latency limits. So move the 100usec C2 test out of the code shared by FADT and _CST code-paths, and into the FADT-specific path. This bug has not been visible until Nehalem, which advertises a CPU-C2 worst case exit latency on servers of 205usec. That (incorrect) figure is being used by BIOS writers on mobile Nehalem systems for the AC configuration. Thus, Linux ignores C2 leaving just C1, which is saves less power, and also impacts performance by preventing the use of turbo mode. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15064 Tested-by: Alex Chiang Signed-off-by: Len Brown
