2006-09-26[PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: fix i386 SRAT check for MAX_NR_ZONESChristoph Lameter
We cannot check MAX_NR_ZONES since it not defined in the preprocessor anymore. So remove the check. The maximum number of zones per node for i386 is 3 since i386 does not support ZONE_DMA32.

2006-09-26[PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmemkeith mannthey
Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :( My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be mapped below the initrd if present. I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa based systems.

2006-09-19Revert mmiocfg heuristics and blacklist changesLinus Torvalds
This reverts commits 11012d419cfc0e0f78ca356aca03674217910124 and 40dd2d20f220eda1cd0da8ea3f0f9db8971ba237, which allowed us to use the MMIO accesses for PCI config cycles even without the area being marked reserved in the e820 memory tables. Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old 2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage. Andi Kleen has a set of patches that work with both EFI and the broken Intel 965 boards, which will be applied once they get wider testing.

2006-08-30[PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proofJan Beulich
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once serving as a separator) of this. Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but this could certainly be further improved. Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

2006-08-30[PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristicsAndi Kleen
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work. After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again. It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much problems there because old style port access for PCI config space still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more important. Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

This same system suspend/resume's properly with Windows.

But we can protect transition in two ways: - by ACPI PM2 register, there is "bus master arbiter disable" bit. This isn't tested because VIA mainboards don't have PM2 register, - by PLE133 PCI/AGP arbiter disable register. There are two bits in this register. First is "PCI arbiter disable", second "AGP arbiter disable". This is working on VIA Epia 800 mainboards. Test on bm_control is more proper because this is true when PM2 register exist.

2006-07-31[CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Workaround issues with APIC.Rafa³ Bilski
There is no need to worry about local APIC. There is need to worry about I/O APIC, because I/O APIC is replacing good old 8259. According to Nehemiah datasheet VIA is using 3-wire bus to connect local APIC to I/O APIC. "[...] When IA32_APIC_BASE[11] is set to 0, processor APICs based on the 3-wire APIC bus cannot be generally re-enabled until a system hardware reset. The 3-wire bus looses track of arbitration that would be necessary for complete re-enabling. Certain (local) APIC functionality can be enabled. [...]" So we must set disable bit for each interrupt in I/O APIC registers. Same situation as for PIC - we must poke registers direcly. How to do this? I don't know.

2006-07-31[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

2006-07-31[PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()Horms
This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.

2006-07-28[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Add user_mode checks to profile_pc for oprofileAndi Kleen
Fixes a obscure user space triggerable crash during oprofiling. Oprofile calls profile_pc from NMIs even when user_mode(regs) is not true and the program counter is inside the kernel lock section. This opens a race - when a user program jumps to a kernel lock address and a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised and the program has a unmapped esp or ebp then the kernel could oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could happen. Add user_mode checks to i386/x86-64 profile_pc to prevent that.

2006-07-14[PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyagerEric W. Biederman
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics. That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch. This makes that dependency explicit, and allows the code to build. What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the voyager subarch under those harsh conditions. Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove the need to disable io_apics and this dependency. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
