# HG changeset patch # User Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@amd.com> # Date 1330642361 -3600 # Node ID 99df5c6b2964ceaa73651d7bc02fb1ae820f7691 # Parent a7bacdc5449a2f7bb9c35b2a1334b463fe9f29a9 x86: Use deep C states for off-lined CPUs Currently when a core is taken off-line it is placed in C1 state (unless MONITOR/MWAIT is used). This patch allows a core to go to deeper C states

The self_nmi() code cause''s an NMI to be triggered by sending an APIC message to the local processor. However, NMIs are blocked by the VMEXIT, until the next iret or VMENTER. Volume 3 Chapter 27 Section 1 of the Intel SDM states: An NMI causes subsequent NMIs to be blocked, but only after the VM exit completes. As a result, as soon as the VMENTER happens, an immediate VMEXIT happens

From: Yang Zhang <yang.z.zhang@Intel.com> The follwoing patches are adding the Posted Interrupt supporting to Xen: Posted Interrupt allows vAPIC interrupts to inject into guest directly without any vmexit. - When delivering a interrupt to guest, if target vcpu is running, update Posted-interrupt requests bitmap and send a notification event to the vcpu. Then the vcpu will handle this

There''re basically two methods to enter a given C-state: legacy (hlt + I/O read), and native(using mwait). MWAIT is always preferred when both underlying CPU and OS support, which is a more efficient way to conduct C-state transition. Xen PM relies on Dom0 to parse ACPI Cx/Px information, which involves one step to notify BIOS about a set of capabilities supported by OSPM. One capability

It has never been used for anything, and Linux 3.7 doesn''t propagate this information anymore.

In "Understanding the Linux Kernel" 3rd edition, section 4.7 "Softirqs and Tasklets" it states: "Activation and execution [of defferable functions] are bound together: a deferrable function that has been activated by a given CPU must be executed on the same CPU. There is no self-evident reason suggesting that this rule is beneficial for system performance. Binding the

Hi, Keir, In debugging the issue "system hang when doing cpu offline", I identified a situation that could cause a dead lock. The scenario is: mwait_idle_with_hint inside play_dead will access per cpu variable, which causes #PF. The #PF handler will use printk, which will schedule a tasklet. In scheduling a tasklet, per cpu variables are needed, otherwise, there will be another #PF.
