2010-02-04ftrace/alternatives: Introducing *_text_reserved functionsMasami Hiramatsu
Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those.

2010-01-29perf_events, x86: Improve x86 event schedulingStephane Eranian
This patch improves event scheduling by maximizing the use of PMU registers regardless of the order in which events are created in a group. The algorithm takes into account the list of counter constraints for each event. It assigns events to counters from the most constrained, i.e., works on only one counter, to the least constrained, i.e., works on any counter. Intel Fixed counter events and the BTS special event are also handled via this algorithm which is designed to be fairly generic. The patch also updates the validation of an event to use the scheduling algorithm. This will cause early failure in perf_event_open(). The 2nd version of this patch follows the model used by PPC, by running the scheduling algorithm and the actual assignment separately. Actual assignment takes place in hw_perf_enable() whereas scheduling is implemented in hw_perf_group_sched_in() and x86_pmu_enable().

So there is no need for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again and return BAD_APICID. Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent bad physical apic id).

special frame pointer-only stack walker It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates. Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace processing. This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered by call-graph tracing timer events.

2009-12-17perf events, x86/stacktrace: Make stack walking optionalFrederic Weisbecker
The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

2009-12-16x86, cpuid: Add "volatile" to asm in native_cpuid()Suresh Siddha
xsave_cntxt_init() does something like: cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out what features FP/SSE/.. etc are supported xsetbv(); // enable the features known to OS cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out the size of the context for features enabled Depending on what features get enabled in xsetbv(), value of the cpuid.eax=0xd.ecx=0.ebx changes correspondingly (representing the size of the context that is enabled). As we don't have volatile keyword for native_cpuid(), gcc 4.1.2 optimizes away the second cpuid and the kernel continues to use the cpuid information obtained before xsetbv(), ultimately leading to kernel crash on processors supporting more state than the legacy FP/SSE.

2009-12-16x86: uv: update XPC to handle updated BIOS interfaceRobin Holt
The UV BIOS has moved the location of some of their pointers to the "partition reserved page" from memory into a uv hub MMR. The GRU does not support bcopy operations from MMR space so we need to special case the MMR addresses using VLOAD operations. Additionally, the BIOS call for registering a message queue watchlist has removed the 'blade' value and eliminated the structure that was being passed in. This is also reflected in this patch.

2009-12-16x86: uv: introduce a means to translate from gpa -> socket_paddrRobin Holt
The UV BIOS has been updated to implement some of our interface functionality differently than originally expected. These patches update the kernel to the bios implementation and include a few minor bug fixes which prevent us from doing significant testing on real hardware. This patch: For SGI UV systems, translate from a global physical address back to a socket physical address. This does nothing to ensure the socket physical address is actually addressable by the kernel. That is the responsibility of the user of the function.
