2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: 64bit ACPI wakeup trampolineVivek Goyal
o Moved wakeup_level4_pgt into the wakeup routine so we can run the kernel above 4G. o Now we first go to 64bit mode and continue to run from trampoline and then then start accessing kernel symbols and restore processor context. This enables us to resume even in relocatable kernel context when kernel might not be loaded at physical addr it has been compiled for. o Removed the need for modifying any existing kernel page table. o Increased the size of the wakeup routine to 8K. This is required as wake page tables are on trampoline itself and they got to be at 4K boundary, hence one page is not sufficient. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: wakeup.S misc cleanupsVivek Goyal
o Various cleanups. One of the main purpose of cleanups is that make wakeup.S as close as possible to trampoline.S. o Following are the changes - Indentations for comments. - Changed the gdt table to compact form and to resemble the one in trampoline.S - Take the jump to 32bit from real mode using ljmpl. Makes code more readable. - After enabling long mode, directly take a long jump for 64bit mode. No need to take an extra jump to "reach_comaptibility_mode" - Stack is not used after real mode. So don't load stack in 32 bit mode. - No need to enable PGE here. - No need to do extra EFER read, anyway we trash the read contents. - No need to enable system call (EFER_SCE). Anyway it will be enabled when original EFER is restored. - No need to set MP, ET, NE, WP, AM bits in cr0. Very soon we will reload the original cr0 while restroing the processor state.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: 64bit PIC SMP trampolineVivek Goyal
This modifies the SMP trampoline and all of the associated code so it can jump to a 64bit kernel loaded at an arbitrary address. The dependencies on having an idenetity mapped page in the kernel page tables for SMP bootup have all been removed. In addition the trampoline has been modified to verify that long mode is supported. Asking if long mode is implemented is down right silly but we have traditionally had some of these checks, and they can't hurt anything. So when the totally ludicrous happens we just might handle it correctly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: cleanup segmentsVivek Goyal
Move __KERNEL32_CS up into the unused gdt entry. __KERNEL32_CS is used when entering the kernel so putting it first is useful when trying to keep boot gdt sizes to a minimum. Set the accessed bit on all gdt entries. We don't care so there is no need for the cpu to burn the extra cycles, and it potentially allows the pages to be immutable. Plus it is confusing when debugging and your gdt entries mysteriously change. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Clean up the early boot page tableVivek Goyal
- Merge physmem_pgt and ident_pgt, removing physmem_pgt. The merge is broken as soon as mm/init.c:init_memory_mapping is run. - As physmem_pgt is gone don't export it in pgtable.h. - Use defines from pgtable.h for page permissions. - Fix the physical memory identity mapping so it is at the correct address. - Remove the physical memory mapping from wakeup_level4_pgt it is at the wrong address so we can't possibly be usinging it. - Simply NEXT_PAGE the work to calculate the phys_ alias of the labels was very cool. Unfortuantely it was a brittle special purpose hack that makes maitenance more difficult. Instead just use label - __START_KERNEL_map like we do everywhere else in assembly. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Kill temp boot pmdsVivek Goyal
Early in the boot process we need the ability to set up temporary mappings, before our normal mechanisms are initialized. Currently this is used to map pages that are part of the page tables we are building and pages during the dmi scan. The core problem is that we are using the user portion of the page tables to implement this. Which means that while this mechanism is active we cannot catch NULL pointer dereferences and we deviate from the normal ways of handling things. In this patch I modify early_ioremap to map pages into the kernel portion of address space, roughly where we will later put modules, and I make the discovery of which addresses we can use dynamic which removes all kinds of static limits and remove the dependencies on implementation details between different parts of the code. Now alloc_low_page() and unmap_low_page() use early_iomap() and early_iounmap() to allocate/map and unmap a page. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: Assembly safe page.h and pgtable.hVivek Goyal
This patch makes pgtable.h and page.h safe to include in assembly files like head.S. Allowing us to use symbolic constants instead of hard coded numbers when refering to the page tables. This patch copies asm-sparc64/const.h to asm-x86_64 to get a definition of _AC() a very convinient macro that allows us to force the type when we are compiling the code in C and to drop all of the type information when we are using the constant in assembly. Previously this was done with multiple definition of the same constant. const.h was modified slightly so that it works when given CONFIG options as arguments. This patch adds #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ ... #endif and _AC(1,UL) where appropriate so the assembler won't choke on the header files. Otherwise nothing should have changed.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86: Drop cc-options call for all options supported in gcc 3.2+Andi Kleen
The kernel only supports gcc 3.2+ now so it doesn't make sense anymore to explicitely check for options this compiler version already has. This actually fixes a bug. The -mprefered-stack-boundary check never worked because gcc rightly complains CC arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s cc1: -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 is not between 4 and 12 We just never saw the error because of cc-options. I changed it to 4 to actually work. Tested by compiling i386 and x86-64 defconfig with gcc 3.2. Should speed up the build time a tiny bit and improve stack usage on i386 slightly.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: x86_64 make NMI use PERFCTR1 for architectural perfmon (take 2)Stephane Eranian
Hello, This patch against 2.6.20-git14 makes the NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting Intel architectural perfmon, such as Intel Core 2. Although all PMU events can work on both counters, the Precise Event-Based Sampling (PEBS) requires that the event be in PERFCTR0 to work correctly (see section 18.14.4.1 in the IA32 SDM Vol 3b). This versions has 3 chunks compared to previous where we had missed on check. Changelog: - make the x86-64 NMI watchdog use PERFSEL1/PERFCTR1 instead of PERFSEL0/PERFCTR0 on processors supporting the Intel architectural perfmon (e.g. Core 2 Duo).

Remove clustered APIC mode. There's little point in the use of clustered APIC mode, broadcasting is limited to within the cluster only, and chipsets have bugs in this area as well. So default to physical APIC mode when the CPU count is large, and default to logical APIC mode when the CPU count is 8 or smaller.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: optimize & fix APIC mode setupIngo Molnar
Fix a couple of inconsistencies/problems I found while reviewing the x86_64 genapic code (when I was chasing mysterious eth0 timeouts that would only trigger if CPU_HOTPLUG is enabled): - AMD systems defaulted to the slower flat-physical mode instead of the flat-logical mode. The only restriction on AMD systems is that they should not use clustered APIC mode. - removed the CPU hotplug hacks, switching the default for small systems back from phys-flat to logical-flat. The switching to logical flat mode on small systems fixed sporadic ethernet driver timeouts i was getting on a dual-core Athlon64 system: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 80. eth0: Tx queue start entry 32 dirty entry 28. eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a04a. (queue head) eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008a04a. eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0008a04a. eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008a04a. eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1 - The use of '<= 8' was a bug by itself (the valid APIC ids for logical flat mode go from 0 to 7, not 0 to 8). The new logic is to use logical flat mode on both AMD and Intel systems, and to only switch to physical mode when logical mode cannot be used. If CPU hotplug is racy wrt. APIC shutdown then CPU hotplug needs fixing, not the whole IRQ system be made inconsistent and slowed down. - minor cleanups: simplified some code constructs build & booted on a couple of AMD and Intel SMP systems.
