2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: clear_fixmap() should not use set_pte()Jan Beulich
While not strictly required with the current code (as the upper half of page table entries generated by __set_fixmap() cannot be non-zero due to the second parameter of this function being 'unsigned long'), the use of set_pte() in __set_fixmap() in the context of clear_fixmap() is still improper with CONFIG_X86_PAE (see the respective comment in include/asm-i386/pgtable-3level.h) and would turn into a bug if that second parameter ever gets changed to a 64-bit type.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer checkZachary Amsden
Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option. The VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires 100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs have not yet been delivered. In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs. While here, make check_timer be __init.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Add MMU virtualization to paravirt_opsRusty Russell
Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops. Most amusingly, flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb. Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user (non-global). Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is confusingly overloaded.

Two legacy power management modes are much easier to just explicitly disable when running in paravirtualized mode - neither APM nor PnP is still relevant.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt interceptsRusty Russell
It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude, are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it. The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded). Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT. This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops structure with their own variants. All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Implement CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGNVivek Goyal
o Now CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is being replaced with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Hardcoding the kernel physical start value creates a problem in relocatable kernel context due to boot loader limitations. For ex, if somebody compiles a relocatable kernel to be run from address 4MB, but this kernel will run from location 1MB as grub loads the kernel at physical address 1MB. Kernel thinks that I am a relocatable kernel and I should run from the address I have been loaded at. So somebody wanting to run kernel from 4MB alignment location (for improved performance regions) can't do that. o Hence, Eric proposed that probably CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN will make more sense in relocatable kernel context. At run time kernel will move itself to a physical addr location which meets user specified alignment restrictions.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Relocatable kernel supportEric W. Biederman
This patch modifies the i386 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below 1G. The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable. For the main kernel relocations are generated. Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code. A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Distinguish absolute symbolsVivek Goyal
Ld knows about 2 kinds of symbols, absolute and section relative. Section relative symbols symbols change value when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not. Currently in the linker script we have several labels marking the beginning and ending of sections that are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols. Having a mixture of absolute and section relative symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless but it is confusing. This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place symbols that appear in sections without data and instead ld makes those symbols global :( My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel. The safest and least intrusive technique is to generate relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load time. The only penalty would be an increase in the size of the kernel binary. The problem is that if absolute and relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which is fatal. The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code the physical memory location they will run at, especially for the distributions.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86: Don't use nested idle loopsAndi Kleen
Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one. Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle(). So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes code. In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways. Cc: len.brown@intel.com Cc: eranian@hpl.hp.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Update sys_vm86 to cope with changed pt_regs and %gs usageJeremy Fitzhardinge
sys_vm86 uses a struct kernel_vm86_regs, which is identical to pt_regs, but adds an extra space for all the segment registers. Previously this structure was completely independent, so changes in pt_regs had to be reflected in kernel_vm86_regs. This changes just embeds pt_regs in kernel_vm86_regs, and makes the appropriate changes to vm86.c to deal with the new naming. Also, since %gs is dealt with differently in the kernel, this change adjusts vm86.c to reflect this. While making these changes, I also cleaned up some frankly bizarre code which was added when auditing was added to sys_vm86.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernelJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related changes: 1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with __KERNEL_PDA. 2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register state can be accessed. Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space). 3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the register state in a signal context. 4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data areaJeremy Fitzhardinge
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's __KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA. This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and current use the PDA. In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code, so the PDA is always available.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Basic definitions for i386-pdaJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch has the basic definitions of struct i386_pda, and the segment selector in the GDT. asm-i386/pda.h is more or less a direct copy of asm-x86_64/pda.h. The most interesting difference is the use of _proxy_pda, which is used to give gcc a model for the actual memory operations on the real pda structure. No actual reference is ever made to _proxy_pda, so it is never defined.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Use asm-offsets for the offsets of registers into the pt_regs ↵Jeremy Fitzhardinge
struct Use asm-offsets for the offsets of registers into the pt_regs struct, rather than having hard-coded constants I left the constants in the comments of entry.S because they're useful for reference; the code in entry.S is very dependent on the layout of pt_regs, even when using asm-offsets.
