Inclusion of x86_64 memorize ioapic at bootup patch

Inclusion of x86_64 memorize ioapic at bootup patch

[Vivek Goyal]

Hi Andi,

Can you please include the following patch. This patch has already been pushed
by Andrew.

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.15-rc5/2.6.15-rc5-mm3/broken-out/x86_64-io_apicc-memorize-at-bootup-where-the-i8259-is.patch

This patch is regarding remembering at boot up time where i8259 is connected
and restore the APIC settings back during kexec boot or kdump boot. This
enables getting timer interrupts in new kernel in legacy mode.

This patch is needed to make kexec and kdump work on some systems,
especially opteron boxes. Otherwise the second kernel does not receive
timer interrupts during early boot hence hangs.

I understand, that you are inclined towards remembering all the APIC states
and simply restore it back instead of putting hooks. This will work 
well for kexec but not for kdump because in kdump system can crash on 
non-boot cpu.

Restoring BIOS APIC state can make sure that BIOS designated boot cpu will 
always be able to see timer interrupts in legacy mode but same does not 
hold good if new kernel boots on some other cpu as is the case with kdump.

In case of kexec boot, we relocate to boot cpu but in case of kdump we
don't because it was suggested that in some extreme cases of crash, boot cpu
might not respond even to NMI and relocation to boot cpu will not be
possible.

Can you please re-consider this patch for inclusion.

Thanks
Vivek

[Yinghai Lu]

the patch is good.

I tried LinuxBIOS with kexec.

without this patch: I need to disable acpi in kernel. otherwise the
kernel with acpi support can boot the second kernel, but the second
kernel will hang after

IIRC, I dropped this patch because of discouraging noises from Andi and
because underlying x86_64 changes broke it in ugly ways.  It needs to be
redone and Andi's objections (whatever they were) need to be addressed or
argued about.

Right now the patch is rather dead.

Andrew, as per my information this patch has not broken anything. It was
other patch which tried to initialize ioapics early which had broken some
sysmtems and that patch has already been dropped.

Andi's main concern with this patch is that it has got special case
knowledge of 8259 and legacy stuff. He would rather prefer, saving all the
APIC states early during boot and restore it back during reboot.

This shall work well for kexec but will not work for kdump as we might
crash on a non-boot cpu and second kernel will come up on a non-boot cpu.
Just restoring the APIC states shall ensure that kernel can boot well on
BIOS designated boot cpu but it does not hold good for other cpus. One
example is that other cpus will not receive timer interrupts during early
boot.

Hence there does not seem to be any escape route except relocate
to boot cpu after crash and second kernel comes up on BIOS designated
boot cpu. But after crash relocating to boot cpu might not be a very
reliable thing to do.

Thanks
Vivek

Ok.  I just as extensively as I could and I can't find the under laying
x86_64 changes that Andi mentioned he was working on.  I have looked
in current -mm and in Andi merge and experimental quilt trees.  It
could be that I'm  blind but I looked and I did not see them.

Even in the discussion where this was mentioned there never was a 
semantic conflict.  But rather two patches passing so close they
touched the same or neighboring lines of code.

The difference was one of approach.  Andi wanted us to treat the apics
as black boxes and save and restore register values with no regard as
to what the registers did.  This is theoretically more future proof,
but it looses flexibility.

My approach is to treat the apics as something we understand, and
simply save off the one small piece of information from the boot
time state that we can't discover any other way.

The x86_64-ioapic-virtual-wire-mode-fix.patch in 2.6.15-mm1 actually
takes advantage of the fact we understand what the apics are doing
to change the destination cpu, in the kexec on panic case.  This
is something that cannot be done if we simply saved off the registers.
     
> Right now the patch is rather dead.

Current the referred to patch applies just fine, to 2.6.15,
and except for a conflict with the above mentioned patch which
applies fine to 2.6.15-mm1 as well.

Putting the apics in a state where we can use them if fundamental
so to booting a kernel so this is something we need to resolve
if we want kexec to be usable.

A revived version of the patch that applies without patch
follows.

Re: [LinuxBIOS] Inclusion of x86_64 memorize ioapic at bootup patch

[Ronald G Minnich]

I'm  just doing a reply to this message so you all can continue the 
discussion without the posting problems to the closed linuxbios list.

Yh Lu, please cc: me and ollie if you can but not the linuxbios list on 
these discussions. It is going to annoy people when they get the bounce 
message.

I should add that I never quite understood Andi's objections to the 
patch being discussed.

Well I still think it would be better to do it in the generic way,
but i'm not feeling very strongly about it anymore.

It conflicts with the x86-64 timer routing rewrite I did, but that's currently
on hold because it has some other issues.  I can merge them later, no problem.

[PATCH] i386 io_apic: Use correct index variable when computing the apic that is in ExtInt mode.

[Eric W. Biederman]

Somehow in all of the chaos this one line bug fix got merged with
the another patch and was then discarded when issues were found
with that other patch.

 From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

  A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
  connected.  Now counter i has been replaced by apic.  counter i is having
  some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
  IOAPIC.

[PATCH] x86_64 io_apic: memorize at bootup where the i8259 is

[Eric W. Biederman]

Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

This patch does not do a blind save and restore of ioapci registers
as that looses the flexibility that is present when you understand what
the registers actually do.  Currently in the kexec on panic case we actually
use that flexibility to route interrupts all interrupts to the cpu we
are rebooting on.

[PATCH] x86_64 io_apic: memorize at bootup where the i8259 is (typo fix)

[Eric W. Biederman]

> There is a typo
Yep I fat fingered the merge.  Thanks.  Here is the correct patch.

Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

This patch does not do a blind save and restore of ioapci registers
as that looses the flexibility that is present when you understand what
the registers actually do.  Currently in the kexec on panic case we actually
use that flexibility to route interrupts all interrupts to the cpu we
are rebooting on.

Yes. This is the reason the patch was written.  Every bios that

Eric,

Do you try kexec with Nvidia ck804 based MB? it seems some one modify
the mptable but not update the checksum ...

YH

The first kernel said:

..TIMER: vector=0x31 apic1=0 pin1=2 apic2=0 pin2=0
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A ...
..... (found apic 0 pin 0) ...works.

We've got a cluster using 2.6.14 booting over infiniband that
way.

RE: [LinuxBIOS] Inclusion of x86_64 memorize ioapic at bootup patch

[Lu, Yinghai]

The patch is critical, otherwise We can use kexec with LinuxBIOS.

I'm thinking we may need to use kexec and tiny kernel to support RAID5
in some MB....
