[PATCH 0/5] [GIT PULL][v3.2] x86: Consolidate 32 and 64 bit thread_info

[PATCH 0/5] [GIT PULL][v3.2] x86: Consolidate 32 and 64 bit thread_info

[Steven Rostedt]

Thomas, Ingo, and Peter(s),

On IRC, Peter Zijlstra mentioned to me the difference between
32bit and 64bit x86 on how thread_info is handled with interrupts.
I mentioned that they should be more the same, and Peter agreed.

I decided to do so, and ended up with the following patches.
I marked this for v3.2 as it should be tested a bit before going into
mainline. I've ran several configs on it, but more testing should be done.

Some of the patches are clean ups, but the main ones are patch 3 and 4
that do the work to convert 32bit of thread_info to be more like
the 64bit.

[PATCH 1/5] x86: Do not differentiate between x86_64 and i386 with init_per_cpu

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-x86-Do-not-differentiate-between-x86_64-and-i386-wit.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1195 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

There's nothing different between the way x86_64 and x86_32
treate init_per_cpu.

Although only x86_64 uses INIT_PER_CPU_VAR() in the head.S file,
there is still no reason to keep the macro x86_64 only.

[PATCH 2/5] x86: Nuke the supervisor_stack field in i386 thread_info

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-x86-Nuke-the-supervisor_stack-field-in-i386-thread_i.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 941 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

Nothing references the supervisor_stack in the thread_info field,
and it does not exist in x86_64. To make the two more the same,
it is being removed.

[PATCH 3/5] x86: Remove previous_esp from i386 thread_info structure

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0003-x86-Remove-previous_esp-from-i386-thread_info-struct.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4389 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The i386 thread_info contains a previous_esp field that is used
to daisy chain the different stacks for dump_stack()
(ie. irq, softirq, thread stacks).

The goal is to eventual make i386 handling of thread_info the same
as x86_64, which means that the thread_info will not be in the stack
but as a per_cpu variable. We will no longer depend on thread_info
being able to daisy chain different stacks as it will only exist
in one location (the thread stack).

By moving previous_esp out of thread_info, and just placing it
above the thread_info of the current stack, we can still use
the stacks to daisy chain which stack was in use when preempted by
an interrupt.

[PATCH 4/5] x86: Keep thread_info on thread stack in x86_32

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0004-x86-Keep-thread_info-on-thread-stack-in-x86_32.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 13305 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

x86_64 uses a per_cpu variable kernel_stack to always point to
the thread stack of current. This is where the thread_info is stored
and is accessed from this location even when the irq or exception stack
is in use. This removes the complexity of having to maintain the
thread info on the stack when interrupts are running and having to
copy the preempt_count and other fields to the interrupt stack.

x86_32 uses the old method of copying the thread_info from the thread
stack to the exception stack just before executing the exception.

Having the two different requires #ifdefs and also the x86_32 way
is a bit of a pain to maintain. By converting x86_32 to the same
method of x86_64, we can remove #ifdefs, clean up the x86_32 code
a little, and remove the overhead of the copy.

[PATCH 5/5] x86: Clean up dumpstack_64.c code

[Steven Rostedt]

[-- Attachment #1: 0005-x86-Clean-up-dumpstack_64.c-code.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5089 bytes --]

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

The dump_trace() function in dumpstack_64.c is hard to follow.
The test for exception stack is processed differently than the
test for irq stack, and the normal stack is outside completely.

By restructuring this code to have all the stacks determined by
a single function that returns an enum of the following:

 STACK_IS_NORMAL
 STACK_IS_EXCEPTION
 STACK_IS_IRQ
 STACK_IS_UNKNOWN

and has the logic of each within a switch statement.
This should make the code much easier to read and understand.

Re: [PATCH 1/5] x86: Do not differentiate between x86_64 and i386 with init_per_cpu

[Brian Gerst]

Even though 32-bit doesn't currently use these macros, please keep the
current define, since only 64-bit SMP is special in this regard.
64-bit SMP uses a zero-based percpu segment, which requires the linker
fixup for statically initialized percpu pointers.  This fixup isn't
needed on 32-bit SMP (or UP).

OK, fine, I'll remove this patch from the set and rebase.
