2007-03-05[PATCH] paravirt: re-enable COMPAT_VDSOIngo Molnar
CONFIG_PARAVIRT broke old glibc bootup: it silently turned off the selectability of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO and thus rendered distro kernels unbootable on old-style VDSO glibc setups. the proper solution is to keep COMPAT_VDSO available - if a hypervisor needs any modification of that concept then we'll judge those changes in full context, once those changes are submitted.

Clarify the description of the CONFIG_VMI option: describe the reality that VMI is a VMWare-only interface for now. Once that changes and another hypervisor adopts the VMI ABI we can change the text. As can be seen from the Xen paravirtualization patches submitted to lkml the Xen project has chosen its own, non-VMI interface between Xen and the para-Linux - so remove Xen from the description.

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: apic opsZachary Amsden
Use para_fill instead of directly setting the APIC ops to the result of the vmi_get_function call - this allows one to implement a VMI ROM without implementing APIC functions, just using the native APIC functions. While doing this, I realized that there is a lot more cleanup that should have been done. Basically, we should never assume that the ROM implements a specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native implementation. This is critical for future compatibility.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: fix nohz compileZachary Amsden
More goo from hrtimers integration. We do compile and run properly with NO_HZ enabled. There was a period when we didn't because of a missing export, but that was since fixed. And with the clocksource code now firmly in place, we can get rid of code that fixes up the wallclock, since this is done in the common infrastructure. This actually fixes a timer bug as well, that was caused by do_settimeofday no longer being callable with interrupts disabled due to the use of on_each_cpu().

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.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: paravirt drop udelay opZachary Amsden
Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed through to real hardware. This can be noticed by any device that interacts with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time. Or keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time. 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. This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a number of misvirtualization bugs, and Alan and Pavel argued pretty strongly against it. We were the only client, and now want to clean up this cruft.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: fix highpteZachary Amsden
Provide a PT map hook for HIGHPTE kernels to designate where they are mapping page tables. This information is required so the physical address of PTE updates can be determined; otherwise, the mm layer would have to carry the physical address all the way to each PTE modification callsite, which is even more hideous that the macros required to provide the proper hooks. So lets not mess up arch neutral code to achieve this, but keep the horror in an #ifdef HIGHPTE in include/asm-i386/pgtable.h. I had to use macros here because some types are not yet defined in all the include paths for this header. This patch is absolutely required for HIGHPTE kernels to operate properly with VMI.

2007-03-05[PATCH] vmi: cpu cycles fixZachary Amsden
In order to share the common code in tsc.c which does CPU Khz calibration, we need to make an accurate value of CPU speed available to the tsc.c code. This value loses a lot of precision in a VM because of the timing differences with real hardware, but we need it to be as precise as possible so the guest can make accurate time calculations with the cycle counters.

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.

2007-02-28[PATCH] x86_64/i386 irq: Fix !CONFIG_SMP compilationEric W. Biederman
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.

There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP. In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general. This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single().

2007-02-16[PATCH] i386 prepare nmi watchdog for dynticksThomas Gleixner
The NMI watchdog implementation assumes that the local APIC timer interrupt is happening. This assumption is not longer true when high resolution timers and dynamic ticks come into play, as they may switch off the local APIC timer completely. Take the PIT/HPET interrupts into account too, to avoid false positives.

2007-02-16[PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibrationThomas Gleixner
The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases: 1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function. 2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode. Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux. Rework the code to address both problems: - Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the results are very accurate. - Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the pm timer result. - Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation. This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clockevents: i386 driversThomas Gleixner
Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global). Update the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver. The assignement of timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook() Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast function for ACPI. No changes to existing functionality.

2007-02-16[PATCH] i386, apic: clean up the APIC codeThomas Gleixner
The apic code is quite unstructured and missing a lot of comments. - Restructure the code into helper functions, timer, setup/shutdown, interrupt and power management blocks. - Fixup comments. - Namespace fixups - Inline helpers for version and is_integrated - Combine the ack_bad_irq functions No functional changes.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Allow early access to the power management timerThomas Gleixner
Allow early access to the power management timer by exposing the verified read function and providing a helper function which checks the pmtmr_ioport variable and returns either the pm timer readout or 0 in case the pm timer is not available. Create a new header file and replace also the ifdef'ed extern definition in arch/i386/kernel/acpi/boot.c This is a preperatory patch for the rework of the local apic timer calibration.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliableMarcelo Tosatti
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helperThomas Gleixner
The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource. Instead of using hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification mechanism. The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which needs to be verified.
