2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: fix perms/range of vsyscall vma in /proc/*/mapsErnie Petrides
The final line of /proc/<pid>/maps on x86_64 for native 64-bit tasks shows an incorrect ending address and incorrect permissions. There is only a single page mapped in this vsyscall region, and it is accessible for both read and execute. The patch below fixes this. (Since 32-bit-compat tasks have a real vma with correct perms/range, no change is necessary for that scenario.) Before the patch, a "cat /proc/self/maps | tail -1" shows this: ffffffffff600000-ffffffffffe00000 ---p 00000000 [...] After the patch, this is the output: ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 [...] Signed-off-by: Ernie Petrides <petrides@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: Add option to compile for Core2Andi Kleen
Add an option to compile for Intel's Core 2 The Kconfig help is a mouthful due to the inventiveness of Intel's product naming department. Mainly for the 64bit cache line sizes because gcc doesn't support optimizing for core2 yet.

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86-64: Make x86_64 udelay() round up instead of down.Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Port two patches from i386 to x86_64 delay.c to make sure all rounding is done upward instead of downward. There is no sign in commit messages that the mismatch was done on purpose, and "delay() guarantees sleeping at least for the specified time" is still a valid rule IMHO. The original x86 patches are both from pre-GIT era, i.e.: "[PATCH] round up in __udelay()" in commit 54c7e1f5cc6771ff644d7bc21a2b829308bd126f "[PATCH] add 1 in __const_udelay()" in commit 42c77a9801b8877d8b90f65f75db758822a0bccc (both commits are from converted BK repository to x86_64).

2006-12-07[PATCH] x86: Don't use nested idle loopsAndi Kleen
Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one. Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle(). So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes code. In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways. Cc: len.brown@intel.com Cc: eranian@hpl.hp.com Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-11-22WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2006-11-22WorkStruct: Separate delayable and non-delayable events.David Howells
Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and the timer_list removed from work_struct. The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the non-delayable type of event.

2006-11-15[PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interruptsEric W. Biederman
Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(), causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx eth0: found link beat eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! eth0: interrupt(s) dropped! ... Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said: "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt). So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all, because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag, and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a self-IPI."

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: Fix vgetcpu when CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabledAndi Kleen
The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. On the others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly and vgetcpu wouldn't work. Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled with an hotplug notifier. This actually simplifies the code somewhat. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
2006-11-14[PATCH] x86: Add acpi_user_timer_override option for Asus boardsAndi Kleen
Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support. Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that don't have HPET, but need a timer override. We don't know yet how to handle this transparently, but at least add a command line option to force the timer override and let them boot.

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly (kdump)Magnus Damm
x86_64: setup saved_max_pfn correctly 2.6.19-rc4 has broken CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP support on x86_64. It is impossible to read out the kernel contents from /proc/vmcore because saved_max_pfn is set to zero instead of the max_pfn value before the user map is setup. This happens because saved_max_pfn is initialized at parse_early_param() time, and at this time no active regions have been registered. save_max_pfn is setup from e820_end_of_ram(), more exact find_max_pfn_with_active_regions() which returns 0 because no regions exist. This patch fixes this by registering before and removing after the call to e820_end_of_ram(). Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-11-14[PATCH] x86-64: shorten the x86_64 boot setup GDT to what the comment saysSteven Rostedt
Stephen Tweedie, Herbert Xu, and myself have been struggling with a very nasty bug in Xen. But it also pointed out a small bug in the x86_64 kernel boot setup. The GDT limit being setup by the initial bzImage code when entering into protected mode is way too big. The comment by the code states that the size of the GDT is 2048, but the actual size being set up is much bigger (32768). This happens simply because of one extra '0'. Instead of setting up a 0x800 size, 0x8000 is set up. On bare metal this is fine because the CPU wont load any segments unless they are explicitly used. But unfortunately, this breaks Xen on vmx FV, since it (for now) blindly loads all the segments into the VMCS if they are less than the gdt limit. Since the real mode segments are around 0x3000, we are getting junk into the VMCS and that later causes an exception. Stephen Tweedie has written up a patch to fix the Xen side and will be submitting that to those folks. But that doesn't excuse the GDT limit being a magnitude too big.

ptrace(PTRACE_[SG]ET_THREAD_AREA) calls from ia32 code should be passed onto the x86_64 implementation. The default case in sys32_ptrace used to call to sys_ptrace(), but is now EINVAL.
