In Tukwila processor, VT-i has been enhanced in its implementation, it is often called VT-i2 techonology. With VTi-2 support, virtulization performance should be improved.

2008-09-22[IA64] kexec fails on systems with blocks of uncached memoryJay Lan
Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute (EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same. The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore. The kdump kernel MCA'ed when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk. A normal "cached" access may cause MCAs. This patch would label memory with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC only as "Uncached RAM" so that kexec would know not to include it in the vmcore. I will submit a separate kexec-tools patch to the kexec list. Signed-off-by: Jay Lan <jlan@sgi.com> Acked-by: Simon Horman <horms@verge.net.au> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2. However, the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.

2008-09-08ia64: dma_alloc_coherent always use GFP_DMAFUJITA Tomonori
This patch makes dma_alloc_coherent use GFP_DMA at all times. This is necessary for swiotlb, which requires the callers to set up the gfp flags properly. swiotlb_alloc_coherent tries to allocate pages with the gfp flags. If the allocated memory isn't fit for dev->coherent_dma_mask, swiotlb_alloc_coherent reserves some of the swiotlb memory area, which is precious resource. So the callers need to set up the gfp flags properly. This patch means that other IA64 IOMMUs' dma_alloc_coherent also use GFP_DMA. These IOMMUs (e.g. SBA IOMMU) don't need GFP_DMA since they can map a memory to any address. But IA64's GFP_DMA is large, generally drivers allocate small memory with dma_alloc_coherent only at startup. So I chose the simplest way to set up the gfp flags for swiotlb.

CONFIG_SFC=m uses topology_core_siblings() which, for ia64, expects cpu_core_map to be exported. It is not. This patch exports the needed symbol. Maintainers note: This really looks like the wrong thing to do ... it would be much better for the kernel to export an API to provide drivers like this with data they need (which in the case of this driver seems to be an estimate of the effective parallelism available on the platform). But x86 has exported this forever ... so go with the flow until such an API is defined.

2008-08-12[IA64] Ensure cpu0 can access per-cpu variables in early boot codeTony Luck
ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without the kernel printing anything to the console. Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before calling any generic code. Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64 Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2008-07-30GRU Driver: hardware data structuresJack Steiner
This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU. The driver is still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64. All simple regression tests pass on IA64. Although features remain to be added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the kernel. Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the GRU driver. The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space. This memory is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands. The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to processor TLBs. Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types of changes are made to the process page tables. There are several MMUOPS patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the kernel. The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli. This patch: Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used by the driver to manage the GRU.

2008-07-26dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.
