2007-04-08[PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21Zachary Amsden
Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix. This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed differently.

2007-04-02[PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problemRafael J. Wysocki
Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

commit f9690982b8c2f9a2c65acdc113e758ec356676a3 removed the check for cpu_khz from sched_clock(), which prevented early access to the TSC by non obvious magic. This is harmless as long as the CPU has a TSC. On TSCless systems this results in an illegal instruction trap.

2007-03-22[PATCH] i386: disable local apic timer via command line or dmi quirkThomas Gleixner
The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States. This is handled by the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment code. Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch into deeper C-States behind the kernels back. This delays the local apic timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable. Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi quirk for known broken systems. Andi sayeth: While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide spread we will just continue extending it. But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with it.

2007-03-22[PATCH] i386: clockevents fix breakage on Geode/Cyrix PIT implementationsThomas Gleixner
The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode (also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT into one shot mode momentarily. I realized after staring helpless at the bug report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the above transition during the PIT initialization. Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness. The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.

2007-03-18[PATCH] i386: trust the PM-Timer calibration of the local APIC timerThomas Gleixner
When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the verification of the calibrated time value. The resulting error is quite small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the observed false positives. We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10, which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel configuration. The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard. This prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to calibrate the local APIC timer. Unfortunately we have no way to disable this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process. Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

2007-03-05[PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)john stultz
This patch resolves the issue found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426 The basic summary is: Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case), where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to the small sampling time used. It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init time. Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall). This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own boxes.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: pit overrideZachary Amsden
The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner after the integration of the hrtimers code. The problem is that now the call path for time initialization is: time_init : late_time_init = hpet_time_init; late_time_init -> hpet_time_init: setup_pit_timer (BAD) do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h) time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h) time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c) If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect function pointer in the paravirt-ops table. The problem is, by the time the paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled. But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT. Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the late_time_init hook. This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too late. So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which is the time init function used for native hardware. Paravirt guests have the chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should need no change.

Or floppy drives, but only when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy. Or IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: sched clock paravirt op fixZachary Amsden
The custom_sched_clock hook is broken. The result from sched_clock needs to be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles. The TSC is insufficient for this purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled). To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time, that is scheduled time. So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along. This allows the tsc.c code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops backends. It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even got in the wrong units.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: timer fixes round twoZachary Amsden
Critical bugfixes for the VMI-Timer code. 1) Do not setup a one shot alarm if we are keeping the periodic alarm armed. Additionally, since the periodic alarm can be run at a lower rate than HZ, let's fixup the guard to the no-idle-hz mode appropriately. This fixes the bug where the no-idle-hz mode might have a higher interrupt rate than the non-idle case. 2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock acquisition. Drop this. We don't need to check for wallclock time at every tick, it can be done in userspace instead. 3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation. This is useful as a last minute workaround, or testing measure. 4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be conditional on IO_APIC, not SMP, since UP kernels can have this configured in as well.

When removing set_native_irq I missed the fact that it was called in a couple of places that were compiled even when SMP support is disabled. And since the irq_desc[].affinity field only exists in SMP things broke. Thanks to Simon Arlott <simon@arlott.org> for spotting this. There are a couple of ways to fix this but the simplest one is to just remove the assignments. The affinity field is only used to display a value to the user, and nothing on either i386 or x86_64 reads it or depends on it being any particlua value, so skipping the assignment is safe. The assignment that is being removed is just for the initial affinity value before the user explicitly sets it. The irq_desc array initializes this field to CPU_MASK_ALL so the field is initialized to a reasonable value in the SMP case without being set. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This reverts commit aeeddc1435c37fa3fc844f31d39c185b08de4158, which was half-baked and broken.

2007-02-26[PATCH] irq: Remove set_native_irq_infoEric W. Biederman
This patch replaces all instances of "set_native_irq_info(irq, mask)" with "irq_desc[irq].affinity = mask". The latter form is clearer uses fewer abstractions, and makes access to this field uniform accross different architectures. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-26Revert "[PATCH] i386: add idle notifier"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 2ff2d3d74705d34ab71b21f54634fcf50d57bdd5. Uwe Bugla reports that he cannot mount a floppy drive any more, and Jiri Slaby bisected it down to this commit. Benjamin LaHaise also points out that this is a big hot-path, and that interrupt delivery while idle is very common and should not go through all these expensive gyrations. Fix up conflicts in arch/i386/kernel/apic.c and arch/i386/kernel/irq.c due to other unrelated irq changes.
