2006-01-06[PATCH] i386: ioapic virtual wire mode fixVivek Goyal
o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode. o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts. o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero). This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a non-boot cpu.

2006-01-06[PATCH] fix cpu frequency detection in ↵Larry Finger
arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c::recalibrate_cpu_khz() When we re-calibrate the frequency, it is likely that an interrupt (as for example the main system clock) will be triggered by the system. Therefore the calibration may not be accurate. This will also provide a fix to bug #5266. Many thanks to Larry Finger for helping resolving this issue.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: change_page_attr() fixDave Jones
The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only. The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to i386. Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver. Blatantly stealing description from his post.. "It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch). The change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the 4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page needs to be split. This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large executable pages that also contain kernel code. If change_page_attr() is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code to be non-executable."

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: convert bigsmp to use flat physical modeAshok Raj
When we bring up a new CPU via INIT/startup IPI messages, the CPU that's coming up sends a xTPR message to the chipset. Intel chipsets (at least) don't provide any architectural guarantee on what the chipset will do with this message. For example, the E850x chipsets uses this xTPR message to interpret the interrupt operating mode of the platform. When the CPU coming online sends this message, it always indicates that it is in logical flat mode. For the CPU hotplug case, the platform may already be functioning in cluster APIC mode at this time, the chipset can get confused and mishandle I/O device and IPI interrupt routing. The situation eventually gets corrected when the new CPU sends another xTPR update when we switch it to cluster mode, but there's a window during which the chipset may be in an inconsistent state. This patch avoids this problem by using the flat physical interrupt delivery mode instead of cluster mode for bigsmp (>8 cpu) support.

Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64: when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms. This is fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last part of the kernel .text! The fix is to not invent a new permission for the new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Pnp byte granularityZachary Amsden
The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size. Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity. When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get system device node" call: mov ax, es:[bx] Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

2006-01-06[PATCH] x86: Always relax segmentsZachary Amsden
APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate segment limits for calling the BIOS. By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines. Keeping 64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway. Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM BIOS to fault. If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add your system to the known bad list. The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of action.

(2) ramfs files now need resizing using do_truncate() rather than by modifying the inode size directly (see shmem_file_setup()). This causes ramfs to attempt to bind a block of pages of sufficient size to the inode. (3) CONFIG_SYSVIPC is no longer contingent on CONFIG_MMU.

2006-01-06[PATCH] NOMMU: Provide shared-writable mmap support on ramfsDavid Howells
The attached patch makes ramfs support shared-writable mmaps by: (1) Attempting to perform a contiguous block allocation to the requested size when truncate attempts to increase the file from zero size, such as happens when: fd = shm_open("/file/on/ramfs", ...): ftruncate(fd, size_requested); addr = mmap(NULL, subsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, fd, offset); (2) Permitting any shared-writable mapping over any contiguous set of extant pages. get_unmapped_area() will return the address into the actual ramfs pages. The mapping may start anywhere and be of any size, but may not go over the end of file. Multiple mappings may overlap in any way. (3) Not permitting a file to be shrunk if it would truncate any shared mappings (private mappings are copied). Thus this patch provides support for POSIX shared memory on NOMMU kernels, with certain limitations such as there being a large enough block of pages available to support the allocation and it only working on directly mappable filesystems.

2006-01-06[PATCH] ppc32: Allows compilation of a MPC52xx kernel without PCISylvain Munaut
Some custom cards might not need PCI, without this patch, compilation fails. Signed-off-by: Roger Blofeld <blofeldus@yahoo.com> Signed-off-by: Sylvain Munaut <tnt@246tNt.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-06[PATCH] ppc32: Fix MPC52xx PCI init in cas the bootloader didn't do itSylvain Munaut
We were counting on the bootloader to init some stuff, like get the bus out of reset and enable accesses. Signed-off-by: Sylvain Munaut <tnt@246tNt.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-06[PATCH] ppc32: Fix MPC52xx configuration space accessSylvain Munaut
This patch takes care of an errata of the MPC5200 by avoiding 32 bits access in type 1 configuration accesses. All others accesses are still 32 bits wide. It also adds some mb() since the simple out_be(...) are not sufficient in this case.

2006-01-06[PATCH] ppc32: Remove __init qualifier from mpc52xx pci resources fixupsSylvain Munaut
The mpc52xx_pci_fixup_resources is not only called at init but also when there is a pci hotplug like when a cardbus card is plugged in. So that function is needed after init too. Thanks to Asier Llano Palacios for reporting this. Signed-off-by: Sylvain Munaut <tnt@246tNt.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-06[PATCH] ppc32: Modify Freescale MPC52xx IRQ mapping to _not_ use irq 0Sylvain Munaut
AFAIK IRQ number 0 is a perfectly valid IRQ number. But it seems there are numerous places where it's considered to be invalid or "no irq" value. Since that value is problematic, the IRQ mapping is changed to not use it.

2006-01-06[PATCH] ppc32: Fix static IO mapping for Freescale MPC52xxSylvain Munaut
The current iomapping used MBAR_SIZE for the size argument of io_block_mapping, resulting in a call to setbat with a size argument of 64k which is invalid. This patch correct this and maps the whole 0xf0000000->0xffffffff range so that devices on the local bus are also included in the BAT mapping. Thanks to Bernhard Kuhn from Metrowerks for pointing this out.
