2009-03-28x86, setup: preemptively save/restore edi and ebp around INT 15 E820H. Peter Anvin
Impact: BIOS bugproofing Since there are BIOSes known to clobber %ebx and %esi for INT 15 E820, assume there is something out there clobbering %edi and/or %ebp too, and don't wait for it to fail. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-03-28x86, setup: mark %esi as clobbered in E820 BIOS callMichael K. Johnson
Jordan Hargrave diagnosed a BIOS clobbering %esi in the E820 call. That particular BIOS has been fixed, but there is a possibility that this is responsible for other occasional reports of early boot failure, and it does not hurt to add %esi to the clobbers. -stable candidate patch.

2009-03-18[S390] make page table upgrade work againMartin Schwidefsky
After TASK_SIZE now gives the current size of the address space the upgrade of a 64 bit process from 3 to 4 levels of page table needs to use the arch_mmap_check hook to catch large mmap lengths.

2009-03-18[S390] make page table walking more robustMartin Schwidefsky
Make page table walking on s390 more robust. The current code requires that the pgd/pud/pmd/pte loop is only done for address ranges that are below the end address of the last vma of the address space. But this is not always true, e.g. the generic page table walker does not guarantee this. Change TASK_SIZE/TASK_SIZE_OF to reflect the current size of the address space. This makes the generic page table walker happy but it breaks the upgrade of a 3 level page table to a 4 level page table. To make the upgrade work again another fix is required.

2009-03-17x86: fix broken irq migration logic while cleaning up multiple vectorsSuresh Siddha
Impact: fix spurious IRQs During irq migration, we send a low priority interrupt to the previous irq destination. This happens in non interrupt-remapping case after interrupt starts arriving at new destination and in interrupt-remapping case after modifying and flushing the interrupt-remapping table entry caches. This low priority irq cleanup handler can cleanup multiple vectors, as multiple irq's can be migrated at almost the same time. While there will be multiple invocations of irq cleanup handler (one cleanup IPI for each irq migration), first invocation of the cleanup handler can potentially cleanup more than one vector (as the first invocation can see the requests for more than vector cleanup). When we cleanup multiple vectors during the first invocation of the smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(), other vectors that are to be cleanedup can still be pending in the local cpu's IRR (as smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt() runs with interrupts disabled). When we are ready to unhook a vector corresponding to an irq, check if that vector is registered in the local cpu's IRR. If so skip that cleanup and do a self IPI with the cleanup vector, so that we give a chance to service the pending vector interrupt and then cleanup that vector allocation once we execute the lowest priority handler. This fixes spurious interrupts seen when migrating multiple vectors at the same time. [ This is apparently possible even on conventional xapic, although to the best of our knowledge it has never been seen. The stable maintainers may wish to consider this one for -stable. ] Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: H.

2009-03-17x86, x2apic: cleanup the IO-APIC level migration with interrupt-remappingSuresh Siddha
Impact: simplification In the current code, for level triggered migration, we need to modify the io-apic RTE with the update vector information, along with modifying interrupt remapping table entry(IRTE) with vector and destination. This is to ensure that remote IRR bit inthe IOAPIC RTE gets cleared when the cpu does EOI. With this patch, for level triggered, we eliminate the io-apic RTE modification (with the updated vector information), by using a virtual vector (io-apic pin number). Real vector that is used for interrupting cpu will be coming from the interrupt-remapping table entry. Trigger mode in the IRTE will always be edge, and the actual level or edge trigger will be setup in the IO-APIC RTE. So a level triggered interrupt will appear as an edge to the local apic cpu but still as level to the IO-APIC. With this change, level irq migration can be done by simply modifying the interrupt-remapping table entry with out changing the io-apic RTE. And as the interrupt appears as edge at the cpu, in addition to do the local apic EOI, we need to do IO-APIC directed EOI to clear the remote IRR bit in the IO-APIC RTE. This simplies the irq migration in the presence of interrupt-remapping. Idea-by: Rajesh Sankaran <rajesh.sankaran@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Eric W.

2009-03-17Fast TSC calibration: calculate proper frequency error boundsLinus Torvalds
In order for ntpd to correctly synchronize the clocks, the frequency of the system clock must not be off by more than 500 ppm (or, put another way, 1:2000), or ntpd will end up giving up on trying to synchronize properly, and ends up reseting the clock in jumps instead. The fast TSC PIT calibration sometimes failed this test - it was assuming that the PIT reads always took about one microsecond each (2us for the two reads to get a 16-bit timer), and that calibrating TSC to the PIT over 15ms should thus be sufficient to get much closer than 500ppm (max 2us error on both sides giving 4us over 15ms: a 270 ppm error value). However, that assumption does not always hold: apparently some hardware is either very much slower at reading the PIT registers, or there was other noise causing at least one machine to get 700+ ppm errors. So instead of using a fixed 15ms timing loop, this changes the fast PIT calibration to read the TSC delta over the individual PIT timer reads, and use the result to calculate the error bars on the PIT read timing properly. We then successfully calibrate the TSC only if the maximum error bars fall below 500ppm. In the process, we also relax the timing to allow up to 25ms for the calibration, although it can happen much faster depending on hardware.

2009-03-17Fix potential fast PIT TSC calibration startup glitchLinus Torvalds
During bootup, when we reprogram the PIT (programmable interval timer) to start counting down from 0xffff in order to use it for the fast TSC calibration, we should also make sure to delay a bit afterwards to allow the PIT hardware to actually start counting with the new value. That will happens at the next CLK pulse (1.193182 MHz), so the easiest way to do that is to just wait at least one microsecond after programming the new PIT counter value. We do that by just reading the counter value back once - which will take about 2us on PC hardware.

2009-03-16x86, paravirt: prevent gcc from generating the wrong addressing modeJeremy Fitzhardinge
Impact: fix crash on VMI (VMware) When we generate a call sequence for calling a paravirtualized function, we presume that the generated code is "call *0xXXXXX", which is a 6 byte opcode; this is larger than a normal direct call, and so we can patch a direct call over it. At the moment, however we give gcc enough rope to hang us by putting the address in a register and generating a two byte indirect-via-register call. Prevent this by explicitly dereferencing the function pointer and passing it into the asm as a constant. This prevents crashes in VMI, as it cannot handle unpatchable callsites.

2009-03-16x86, mce: remove incorrect __cpuinit for intel_init_cmci()Hidetoshi Seto
Impact: Bug fix on UP Referring commit cc3ca22063784076bd240fda87217387a8f2ae92, Peter removed __cpuinit annotations for mce_cpu_features() and its successor functions, which caused troubles on UP configurations. However the intel_init_cmci() was introduced after that and it also has __cpuinit annotation even though it is called from mce_cpu_features(). Remove the annotation from that function too.

2009-03-15x86, mm: remove unnecessary include file from iomap_32.cAkinobu Mita
asm/highmem.h inclusion is added to use kmap_atomic_prot_pfn() by commit bb6d59ca927d855ffac567b35c0a790c67016103 Now kmap_atomic_prot_pfn is moved to iomap_32.c by commit dd63fdcc63f0f853b116b52e56200a0e0227cf5f So the asm/highmem.h inclusion in iomap_32.c is unnecessary now.
