can be encoded in the current driver's 4 bit frequency
field. This patch updates the driver to support Rev F
including 6 bit FIDs and processor ID updates.
This should apply cleanly whether or not the dual-core
bugfix I sent out last week is applied. I'd prefer
that both get applied, of course.

each core be created in the _cpu_init function
call. The cpufreq infrastructure doesn't call
_cpu_init for the second core in each processor.
Some systems crashed when _get was called with
an odd-numbered core because it tried to
dereference a NULL pointer since the data
structure had not been created.
The attached patch solves the problem by
initializing data structures for all shared
cores in the _cpu_init function. It should
apply to 2.6.12-rc6 and has been tested by
AMD and Sun.

It is no longer valid to not replace instructions, since we depend on
different behaviour depending on CPU capabilities.
If you need to limit the capabilities of the replacements (because the
boot CPU has features that non-boot CPU's do not have, for example), you
need to explicitly disable those capabilities that are not shared across
all CPU's.
For example, if your boot CPU has FXSR, but other CPU's in your system
do not, you need to use the "nofxsr" kernel command line, not disable
instruction replacement per se.
|
|
It's really just a single instruction, conditional on whether the CPU
supports FXSR or not, so implement it as such instead of making it a
function that queries FXSR dynamically.
This means that the instruction just gets automatically rewritten to the
correct one at boot-time.

These days %gs is normally the TLS segment, so it's no longer zero. As
a result, we shouldn't just assume that %fs/%gs tend to be zero
together, but test them independently instead.
Also, fix setting of debug registers to use the "next" pointer instead
of "current". It so happens that the scheduler will have set the new
current pointer before calling __switch_to(), but that's just an
implementation detail.

i386_ksym reduction
This patch:
[PATCH] Remove i386_ksyms.c, almost
made files like smp.c do their own EXPORT_SYMBOLS. This means that all
subarchitectures that override these symbols now have to do the exports
themselves. This patch adds the exports for voyager (which is the most
affected since it has a separate smp harness). However, someone should
audit all the other subarchitectures to see if any others got broken.

inotify is intended to correct the deficiencies of dnotify, particularly
its inability to scale and its terrible user interface:
* dnotify requires the opening of one fd per each directory
that you intend to watch. This quickly results in too many
open files and pins removable media, preventing unmount.
* dnotify is directory-based. You only learn about changes to
directories. Sure, a change to a file in a directory affects
the directory, but you are then forced to keep a cache of
stat structures.
* dnotify's interface to user-space is awful. Signals?
inotify provides a more usable, simple, powerful solution to file change
notification:
* inotify's interface is a system call that returns a fd, not SIGIO.
You get a single fd, which is select()-able.
* inotify has an event that says "the filesystem that the item
you were watching is on was unmounted."
* inotify can watch directories or files.
Inotify is currently used by Beagle (a desktop search infrastructure),
Gamin (a FAM replacement), and other projects.

Create a new top-level menu named "Networking" thus moving
net related options and protocol selection way from the drivers
menu and up on the top-level where they belong.
To implement this all architectures has to source "net/Kconfig" before
drivers/*/Kconfig in their Kconfig file. This change has been
implemented for all architectures.
Device drivers for ordinary NIC's are still to be found
in the Device Drivers section, but Bluetooth, IrDA and ax25
are located with their corresponding menu entries under the new
networking menu item.

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.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

This patch is the first step in properly handling the MCFG PCI table.
It defines the structures properly, and saves off the table so that the
pci mmconfig code can access it. It moves the parsing of the table a
little later in the boot process, but still before the information is
needed.

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.

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.

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.

* Complete rework onf arch_prepare_kretprobe() and trampoline_probe_handler()
* Removing trampoline_post_handler()
* Adding arch_init() so that now we handle registering the return probe

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.

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.
This import is based on my latest from -mm.

1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:
frozen(process) Check for frozen process
freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen
freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
thaw_process(process) Restart process
frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now
2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
kernel sources except sched.h
3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver
4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.
5. Some whitespace cleanup
6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
PF_FROZEN).
This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

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.
