On a system where there are no hot pluggable cpus "additional_cpus"
is still set to -1 at the point where we call per_cpu_scan_finalize().
If we didn't find an SRAT table and so pick the default "32" for the
number of cpus, when we get to:
high_cpu = min(high_cpu + reserve_cpus, NR_CPUS);
we will end up initializing for just 31 cpus ... and so we will
die horribly when bringing up cpu#32.

* 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6:
[IA64] Fix CONFIG_IA64_SGI_UV build error
[IA64] Update check_sal_cache_flush to use platform_send_ipi()
[IA64] perfmon: fix async exit bug
|
|
check_sal_cache_flush is used to detect broken firmware that drops
pending interrupts.
The old implementation schedules a timer interrupt for itself in
the future by getting the current value of the Interval Timer
Counter + 1000 cycles, waits for the interrupt to be pended, calls
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH, and finally checks to see if the interrupt is
still pending.
This implementation can cause problems for virtual machine code if
the process of scheduling the timer interrupt takes more than 1000
cycles; the virtual machine can end up sleeping for several hundred
years while waiting for the ITC to wrap around.
The fix is to use platform_send_ipi. The processor will still send
an interrupt to itself, using the IA64_IPI_DM_INT delivery mode,
which causes the IPI to look like an external interrupt. The rest
of the SAL_CACHE_FLUSH + checking to see if the interrupt is still
pending remains unchanged.
This fix has been boot tested successfully on:
- intel tiger2
- hp rx6600
- hp rx5670
The rx5670 has known buggy firmware, where SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops
pending interrupts. A boot test on this machine showed this message
on the console:
SAL: SAL_CACHE_FLUSH drops interrupts; PAL_CACHE_FLUSH will be used instead
Which proves that the self-inflicted IPI approach is viable. And
as expected, the other tested platforms correctly did not display
the warning.

This is a SLIT sanity checking patch. It moves slit_valid() function to
generic ACPI code and does sanity checking for both x86 and ia64. It sets up
node_distance with LOCAL_DISTANCE and REMOTE_DISTANCE when hitting invalid
SLIT table on ia64. It also cleans up unused variable localities in
acpi_parse_slit() on x86.

Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding
operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE)
state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation
fault and invalid RSE state. Such faults may initiate a cascade of
repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers.
The specific behavior is OS dependent.
Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with
specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults
and an eventual OS stack overflow condition.
Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing
store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series
of illegal operation faults.
The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence
inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros. This sequence includes hard-coded
constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers
being 96. The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this
workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that
if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it
would also remove the need for this patch).
Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some
corner cases.
The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was
squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
Move it out to the end of the ivt.

acpi_unregister_gsi() should "undo" what acpi_register_gsi() does.
On systems that have legacy interrupts, acpi_unregister_gsi erroneously calls
iosapci_unregister_intr() which is wrong to do and causes a loud warning.
acpi_unregister_gsi() should just return in these cases.

[Bug-fix for "[BUG?][2.6.25-mm1] sleeping during IRQ disabled"]
This patch does:
- enable interrupts before calling schedule() as same as others, ex. x86
- enable interrupts during ia64_do_signal() and ia64_sync_krbs()
- do_notify_resume_user() is still called with interrupts disabled, since
we can take short path of fsys_mode if-statement quickly.
- pfm_handle_work() is also called with interrupts disabled, since
it can deal interrupt mask within itself.

The sequence executed in check_sal_cache_flush:
- pend a timer interrupt
- call SAL_CACHE_FLUSH
- see if interrupt is still pending
can hang HP machines with buggy SAL_CACHE_FLUSH implementations.
Provide a kernel command-line argument to allow users skip this
check if desired. Using this parameter will force ia64_sal_cache_flush
to call ia64_pal_cache_flush() instead of SAL_CACHE_FLUSH.

Some IA64 machines map all cell-local memory above 4 GB (32 bit limit).
However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is
DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved
above 4 GB.
For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU
the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case,
it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable
for kdump.
A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so
it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible
because of changeset 51b58e3e26ebfb8cd56825c4b396ed251f51dec9:
On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump
kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu. The problem is that during
the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA
from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an
MCA. With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little
code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option.
The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters.
This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving
the IOTLB intact. Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump
kernel. After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been
shutdown properly and DMA stopped.
This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization
code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling
them about 'machvec=dig'.
This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all
memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle
this case are "sn2" and "uv".

Legacy HP ia64 platforms currently cannot provide
/proc/cpuinfo/physical_id due to legacy SAL/PAL implementations.
However, that physical topology information can be obtained
via ACPI.
Provide an interface that gives ACPI one last chance to provide
physical_id for these legacy platforms. This logic only comes
into play iff:
- ACPI actually provides slot information for the CPU
- we lack a valid socket_id
Otherwise, we don't do anything.
Since x86 uses the ACPI processor driver as well, we provide a nop
stub function for arch_fix_phys_package_id() in asm-x86/topology.h

Commit 113134fcbca83619be4c68d0ca66db6093777b5d changed the flow of
control when calling PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL and SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO.
With the change, if a platform did not implement the latter, a useless
printk would appear in the boot log:
ia64_sal_pltid failed with -1
So let's check the return code and only printk on a true error, and do
not print anything in the unimplemented case. While we're in there,
clean up some stylistic issues too.

While testing with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y, I found that
I occasionally get very huge system time in some threads.
So I dug the issue and finally noticed that it was caused
because of an interrupt which interrupt in the following window:
> [arch/ia64/kernel/entry.S: (!CONFIG_PREEMPT && CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING)]
>
> ENTRY(ia64_leave_syscall)
> :
> (pUStk) rsm psr.i
> cmp.eq pLvSys,p0=r0,r0 // pLvSys=1: leave from syscall
> (pUStk) cmp.eq.unc p6,p0=r0,r0 // p6 <- pUStk
> .work_processed_syscall:
> adds r2=PT(LOADRS)+16,r12
> (pUStk) mov.m r22=ar.itc // fetch time at leave
> adds r18=TI_FLAGS+IA64_TASK_SIZE,r13
> ;;
> <<< window: from here >>>
> (p6) ld4 r31=[r18] // load current_thread_info()->flags
> ld8 r19=[r2],PT(B6)-PT(LOADRS)
> adds r3=PT(AR_BSPSTORE)+16,r12
> ;;
> mov r16=ar.bsp
> ld8 r18=[r2],PT(R9)-PT(B6)
> (p6) and r15=TIF_WORK_MASK,r31 // any work other than TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE?
> ;;
> ld8 r23=[r3],PT(R11)-PT(AR_BSPSTORE)
> (p6) cmp4.ne.unc p6,p0=r15, r0 // any special work pending?
> (p6) br.cond.spnt .work_pending_syscall
> ;;
> ld8 r9=[r2],PT(CR_IPSR)-PT(R9)
> ld8 r11=[r3],PT(CR_IIP)-PT(R11)
> (pNonSys) break 0 // bug check: we shouldn't be here if pNonSys is TRUE!
> ;;
> invala
> <<< window: to here >>>
> rsm psr.i | psr.ic // turn off interrupts and interruption collection
If pUStk is true, it means we are going to return user mode, hence we fetch
ar.itc to get time at leave from system.
It seems that it is not possible to interrupt the window if pUStk is true,
because interrupts are disabled early. And also disabling interrupt makes
sense because it is safe for referring current_thread_info()->flags.
However interrupting the window while pUStk is true was possible.
The route was:
ia64_trace_syscall
-> .work_pending_syscall_end
-> .work_processed_syscall
Only in case entering the window from this route, interrupts are enabled
during in the window even if pUStk is true. I suppose interrupts must be
disabled here anyway if pUStk is true.
I'm not sure but afraid that what kind of bad effect were there, other
than crazy system time which I found.
FYI, there was a commit 6f6d75825dc49b082906b84537b4df28293c2977 that
points out a bug at same point(exit of ia64_trace_syscall) in 2006.
It can be said that there was an another bug.

This patch fixes the problem that kdump by INIT does not work if we use
makedumpfile. The problem is that after INIT is issued, 2nd kernel
starts and makedumpfile fails with the following error message.
/proc/vmcore doesn't contain vmcoreinfo.
'-x' or '-i' must be specified.
makedumpfile Failed.
The cause of this problem is that kernel does not call
crash_save_vmcoreinfo. When kdump starts by panic or sysrq-trigger,
crash_save_vmcoreinfo is called by crash_kexec. But this function is not
called when kdump starts by INIT. The Attached patch fixes this.
This patch just adds crash_save_vmcoreinfo into machine_kdump_on_init so
that crash_save_vmcoreinfo can be called when kdump starts by INIT.
I tested this patch with linux-2.6.25-rc9 and I confirmed it worked.

There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24:
A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout:
Node 0: 0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0: 4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1: 8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0: 16 - 18 Gbytes
"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.
"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:
efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);
i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.
"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:
efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);
"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

Add kprobe-booster support on ia64.
Kprobe-booster improves the performance of kprobes by eliminating single-step,
where possible. Currently, kprobe-booster is implemented on x86 and x86-64.
This is an ia64 port.
On ia64, kprobe-booster executes a copied bundle directly, instead of single
stepping. Bundles which have B or X unit and which may cause an exception
(including break) are not executed directly. And also, to prevent hitting
break exceptions on the copied bundle, only the hindmost kprobe is executed
directly if several kprobes share a bundle and are placed in different slots.
Note: set_brl_inst() is used for preparing an instruction buffer(it does not
modify any active code), so it does not need any atomic operation.

appropriately to let ia64 work with pid namespaces. Besides, this is one more
step in deprecating of pid and tgid on task_struct.
The fsys_getppid() is to be patched as well, but its logic is much
more complex now, so I will make it later.
One thing I'm not 100% sure is the trick with the IA64_UPID_SHIFT. On order
to access the pid->level's element of an array I have to perform the following
calculations
pid + sizeof(struct upid) * pid->level
The problem is that ia64 can only multiply float point registers, while all
the offsets I have in code are in rXX ones. Fortunately, the sizeof(struct
upid) is 32 bytes on ia64 (and is very unlikely to ever change), so the
calculations get simpler:
pid + pid->level << 5
So, I introduce the IA64_UPID_SHIFT and use the shl instruction. I also
looked at how gcc compiles the similar place and found that it makes it with
shift as well. Is this OK to do so?
Tested with ski emulator with 2.6.24 kernel, but fits 2.6.25-rc4 and
2.6.25-rc4-mm1 as well.

do_each_thread/while_each_thread is a double loop, so
should use 'goto' rather than 'break' to break out
the loop.
