Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
That however is fixed these days.
Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
hrtimer_start_on().
However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
that does seem to be supported, good.
Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...
Mihai reported test success as well.

"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.
When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.
This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.

"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using

If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround

| x86: remove open-coded save/load segment operations
|
| This removes a pile of buggy open-coded implementations of savesegment
| and loadsegment.
after some more bisection of this patch itself, it turns out that what
makes the difference are the savesegment() changes to __switch_to().
Taking a look at this portion of arch/x86/kernel/process_64.o revealed
this crutial difference:
| good: 99c: 8c e0 mov %fs,%eax
| 99e: 89 45 cc mov %eax,-0x34(%rbp)
|
| bad: 99c: 8c 65 cc mov %fs,-0x34(%rbp)
which is due to:
| unsigned fsindex;
| - asm volatile("movl %%fs,%0" : "=r" (fsindex));
| + savesegment(fs, fsindex);
savesegment() is implemented as:
#define savesegment(seg, value) \
asm("mov %%" #seg ",%0":"=rm" (value) : : "memory")
note the "m" modifier - it allows GCC to generate the segment move
into a memory operand as well.
But regarding segment operands there's a subtle detail in the x86
instruction set: the above 16-bit moves are zero-extend, but only
if it goes to a register.
If it goes to a memory operand, -0x34(%rbp) in the above case, there's
no zero-extend to 32-bit and the instruction will only save 16 bits
instead of the intended 32-bit.
The other 16 bits is random data - which can cause problems when that
value is used later on.
The solution is to only allow segment operands to go to registers.
This fix allows my test-system to boot up without crashing.

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of

were interrupts lost or something similar.
