Mikael Pettersson [Fri, 15 Mar 2002 07:22:10 +0000 (23:22 -0800)]
[PATCH] boot_cpu_data corruption on SMP x86

The patch below eliminates a case of boot_cpu_data corruption
on SMP x86 machines. This was first observed on SMP Athlons,
but it also affects SMP Intel boxes in a less serious way.

When the secondary processors boot and execute head.S:checkCPUtype,
the code performs a 32-bit write of a small constant to the
byte-sized variable boot_cpu_data.x86 (X86 in head.S). Since the
write is 32-bit, it also writes zeros to the following 3 bytes,
which clobbers the x86_vendor, x86_model, and x86_mask fields
previously set up by check_bugs()'s call to identify_cpu().
Thus, after smp_init(), boot_cpu_data will _always_ identify
the CPU as an Intel (X86_VENDOR_INTEL == 0 in processor.h) with
model 0 and stepping 0.

The effect in standard kernels is not catastrophic, since:
(a) most SMP x86 boxes are Intel
(b) most uses of x86_vendor occur before smp_init() or reference
    the SMP cpu_data[] array
(c) most post-boot references to boot_cpu_data occur in the
    cpu_has_XXX macros which only read the x86_capability[] array
However, third-party extensions (like my x86 performance-monitoring
conters driver) can get seriously confused by this mis-identification.

23 years agoIntegrate NAPI work done by Jamal Hadi Salim,
David S. Miller [Wed, 13 Mar 2002 09:04:16 +0000 (01:04 -0800)]
Integrate NAPI work done by Jamal Hadi Salim,
Robert Olsson, and Alexey Kuznetsov.  This changeset adds
the framework and implementation, but drivers need to be
ported to NAPI in order to take advantage of the new
facilities.  NAPI is fully backwards compatible, current
drivers will continue to work as they always have.

NAPI is a way for dealing with high packet load.  It allows
the driver to disable the RX interrupts on the card and enter
a polling mode.  Another way to describe NAPI would be as
implicit mitigation.  Once the device enters this polling
mode, it will exit back to interrupt based processing when
the receive packet queue is purged.

A full porting and description document is found at:
Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt
and this also makes reference to Usenix papers on the
web and other such resources available on NAPI.

NAPI has been found to not only increase packet processing
rates, it also gives greater fairness to the other interfaces
in the system which are not experiencing high packet load.
