2005-07-07[PATCH] mostly_read data sectionChristoph Lameter
Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

2005-07-07[PATCH] MTRR suspend/resume cleanupShaohua Li
There has been some discuss about solving the SMP MTRR suspend/resume breakage, but I didn't find a patch for it. This is an intent for it. The basic idea is moving mtrr initializing into cpu_identify for all APs (so it works for cpu hotplug). For BP, restore_processor_state is responsible for restoring MTRR.

2005-07-01[PATCH] PCI: clean up dynamic pci id logicGreg Kroah-Hartman
The dynamic pci id logic has been bothering me for a while, and now that I started to look into how to move some of this to the driver core, I thought it was time to clean it all up. It ends up making the code smaller, and easier to follow, and fixes a few bugs at the same time (dynamic ids were not being matched everywhere, and so could be missed on some call paths for new devices, semaphore not needed to be grabbed when adding a new id and calling the driver core, etc.) I also renamed the function pci_match_device() to pci_match_id() as that's what it really does.

2005-07-01[PATCH] PCI: pci_assign_unassigned_resources() on x86Ivan Kokshaysky
- Add sanity check for io[port,mem]_resource in setup-bus.c. These resources look like "free" as they have no parents, but obviously we must not touch them. - In i386.c:pci_allocate_bus_resources(), if a bridge resource cannot be allocated for some reason, then clear its flags. This prevents any child allocations in this range, so the setup-bus code will work with a clean resource sub-tree. - i386.c:pcibios_enable_resources() doesn't enable bridges, as it checks only resources 0-5, which looks like a clear bug to me. I suspect it might break hotplug as well in some cases. From: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2005-06-27[PATCH] PCI: use the MCFG table to properly access pci devices (i386)Greg Kroah-Hartman
Now that we have access to the whole MCFG table, let's properly use it for all pci device accesses (as that's what it is there for, some boxes don't put all the busses into one entry.) If, for some reason, the table is incorrect, we fallback to the "old style" of mmconfig accesses, namely, we just assume the first entry in the table is the one for us, and blindly use it.

2005-06-27[PATCH] ACPI based I/O APIC hot-plug: add interfacesKenji Kaneshige
This patch adds the following new interfaces for I/O xAPIC hotplug. The implementation of these interfaces depends on each architecture. o int acpi_register_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u64 phys_addr, u32 gsi_base); This new interface is to add a new I/O xAPIC specified by phys_addr and gsi_base pair. phys_addr is the physical address to which the I/O xAPIC is mapped and gsi_base is global system interrupt base of the I/O xAPIC. acpi_register_ioapic returns 0 on success, or negative value on error. o int acpi_unregister_ioapic(acpi_handle handle, u32 gsi_base); This new interface is to remove a I/O xAPIC specified by gsi_base. acpi_unregister_ioapic returns 0 on success, or negative value on error.

2005-06-27[PATCH] acpi bridge hotadd: ACPI based root bridge hot-addRajesh Shah
When you hot-plug a (root) bridge hierarchy, it may have p2p bridges and devices attached to it that have not been configured by firmware. In this case, we need to configure the devices before starting them. This patch separates device start from device scan so that we can introduce the configuration step in the middle. I kept the existing semantics for pci_scan_bus() since there are a huge number of callers to that function. Also, I have no way of testing the changes I made to the parisc files, so this needs review by those folks. Sorry for the massive cross-post, this touches files in many different places.

2005-06-27[PATCH] PCI Allow OutOfRange PIRQ table addressjayalk@intworks.biz
I updated this to remove unnecessary variable initialization, make check_routing be inline only and not __init, switch to strtoul, and formatting fixes as per Randy Dunlap's recommendations. I updated this to change pirq_table_addr to a long, and to add a warning msg if the PIRQ table wasn't found at the specified address, as per thread with Matthew Wilcox. In our hardware situation, the BIOS is unable to store or generate it's PIRQ table in the F0000h-100000h standard range. This patch adds a pci kernel parameter, pirqaddr to allow the bootloader (or BIOS based loader) to inform the kernel where the PIRQ table got stored. A beneficial side-effect is that, if one's BIOS uses a static address each time for it's PIRQ table, then pirqaddr can be used to avoid the $pirq search through that address block each time at boot for normal PIRQ BIOSes.

2005-06-27[PATCH] seccomp: tsc disableAndrea Arcangeli
I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below patch. This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind. There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied (gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3 seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished). Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't per-cpu-safe. The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to disable irqs in switch_to slow path. Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli <andrea@cpushare.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic set/getpriority.

2005-06-25[PATCH] kdump: Use real pt_regs from exceptionAlexander Nyberg
Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument. This allows to get exact register state at the point of the crash. If we come from direct panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before crashdump. This hooks into two places: die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal fault. die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper information.

2005-06-25[PATCH] kexec: x86 shutdown APICs during crash_shutdownEric W. Biederman
In the case of a crash/panic an architecture specific function machine_crash_shutdown is called. This patch adds to the x86 machine_crash function the standard kernel code for shutting down apics. Every line of code added to that function increases the risk that we will call code after a kernel panic that is not safe. This patch should not make it to the stable kernel without a being reviewed a lot more. It is unclear how much a hardned kernel can take when it comes to misconfigured apics. So since a normal kernel has problems this patch does a clean shutdown. It is my expectation this patch will be dropped from future generations of the kexec work.

2005-06-25[PATCH] crashdump: x86: add NMI handler to capture other CPUsEric W. Biederman
One of the dangers when switching from one kernel to another is what happens to all of the other cpus that were running in the crashed kernel. In an attempt to avoid that problem this patch adds a nmi handler and attempts to shoot down the other cpus by sending them non maskable interrupts. The code then waits for 1 second or until all known cpus have stopped running and then jumps from the running kernel that has crashed to the kernel in reserved memory. The kernel spin loop is used for the delay as that should behave continue to be safe even in after a crash.

For one kernel to report a crash another kernel has created we need to have 2 kernels loaded simultaneously in memory. To accomplish this the two kernels need to built to run at different physical addresses. This patch adds the CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START option to the x86 kernel so we can do just that. You need to know what you are doing and the ramifications are before changing this value, and most users won't care so I have made it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED bzImage kernels will work and run at a different address when compiled with this option but they will still load at 1MB.

The vmlinux on i386 does not report the correct physical address of the kernel. Instead in the physical address field it currently reports the virtual address of the kernel. This is patch is a bug fix that corrects vmlinux to report the proper physical addresses. This is potentially a help for crash dump analysis tools. This definitiely allows bootloaders that load vmlinux as a standard ELF executable. Bootloaders directly loading vmlinux become of practical importance when we consider the kexec on panic case.

2005-06-25[PATCH] kexec: x86: resture apic virtual wire mode on shutdownEric W. Biederman
When coming out of apic mode attempt to set the appropriate apic back into virtual wire mode. This improves on previous versions of this patch by by never setting bot the local apic and the ioapic into veritual wire mode. This code looks at data from the mptable to see if an ioapic has an ExtInt input to make this decision. A future improvement is to figure out which apic or ioapic was in virtual wire mode at boot time and to remember it. That is potentially a more accurate method, of selecting which apic to place in virutal wire mode.

2005-06-25[PATCH] kexec: x86: i8259 shutdown: disable interruptsEric W. Biederman
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> This patch disables interrupt generation from the legacy pic on reboot. Now that there is a sys_device class it should not be called while drivers are still using interrupts. There is a report about this breaking ACPI power off on some systems. http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4041 However the final comment seems to exonerate this code. So until I get more information I believe that was a false positive.
