2008-01-30x86: make printk_address regs->ip always reliableArjan van de Ven
printk_address()'s second parameter is the reliability indication, not the ebp. If we're printing regs->ip we're reliable by definition, so pass a 1 here. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: add the "print code before the trapping instruction" feature to 64 bitArjan van de Ven
The 32 bit x86 tree has a very useful feature that prints the Code: line for the code even before the trapping instrution (and the start of the trapping instruction is then denoted with a <>). Unfortunately, the 64 bit x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder than needed. This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has (including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking) __get_user.

2008-01-30x86: use the stack frames to get exact stack-traces for CONFIG_FRAMEPOINTER ↵Arjan van de Ven
on x86-64 x86 32 bit already has this feature: This patch uses the stack frames with frame pointer into an exact stack trace, by following the frame pointer. This only affects kernels built with the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER config option enabled, and greatly reduces the amount of noise in oopses. This code uses the traditional method of doing backtraces, but if it finds a valid frame pointer chain, will use that to show which parts of the backtrace are reliable and which parts are not Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

2008-01-30x86: turn 64 bit x86 HANDLE_STACK into print_context_stack like 32 bit hasArjan van de Ven
This patch turns the x86 64 bit HANDLE_STACK macro in the backtrace code into a function, just like 32 bit has. This is needed pre work in order to get exact backtraces for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to work. The function and it's arguments are not the same as 32 bit; due to the exception/interrupt stack way of x86-64 there are a few differences. This patch should not have any behavior changes, only code movement. Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

2008-01-30x86: pull bp calculation earlier into the backtrace pathArjan van de Ven
Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace functions on the stack with bp based backtracing). This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer; sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack, but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

2008-01-30x86: improve the 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer to also use the traditional ↵Arjan van de Ven
backtrace The 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer code checks if the EBP is valid to do a backtrace; however currently on a failure it just gives up and prints nothing. That's not very nice; we can do better and still print a decent backtrace. This patch changes the backtracer to use the regular backtracing algorithm at the same time as the EBP backtracer; the EBP backtracer is basically used to figure out which part of the backtrace are reliable vs those which are likely to be noise.

2008-01-30x86: add the capability to print fuzzy backtracesArjan van de Ven
For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to print the unreliable ones slightly different.

2008-01-30x86: fix 32-bit FRAME_POINTER chasing codeArjan van de Ven
The current x86 32 bit FRAME_POINTER chasing code has a nasty bug in that the EBP tracer doesn't actually update the value of EBP it is tracing, so that the code doesn't actually switch to the irq stack properly.

2008-01-30x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDDdevzero@web.de
On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message. Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda) There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too. This patch is adds an informational message on early boot. CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m) so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays. I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end- user to find out, what`s the issue. For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset. This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

2008-01-30x86: make NUMA work on 32-bit againMel Gorman
On 32-bit NUMA, the memmap representing struct pages on each node is allocated from node-local memory if possible. As only node-0 has memory from ZONE_NORMAL, the memmap must be mapped into low memory. This is done by reserving space in the Kernel Virtual Area (KVA) for the memmap belonging to other nodes by taking pages from the end of ZONE_NORMAL and remapping the other nodes memmap into those virtual addresses. The node boundaries are then adjusted so that the region of pages is not used and it is marked as reserved in the bootmem allocator. This reserved portion of the KVA is PMD aligned althought strictly speaking that requirement could be lifted (see thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/24/220). The problem is that when aligned, there may be a portion of ZONE_NORMAL at the end that is not used for memmap and does not have an initialised memmap nor is it marked reserved in the bootmem allocator. Later in the boot process, these pages are freed and a storm of Bad page state messages result. This patch marks these pages reserved that are wasted due to alignment in the bootmem allocator so they are not accidently freed. It is worth noting that memory from node-0 is wasted where it could have been put into ZONE_HIGHMEM on NUMA machines. Worse, the KVA is always reserved from the location of real memory even when there is plenty of spare virtual address space. This patch also makes sure that reserve_bootmem() is not called with a 0-length size in numa_kva_reserve(). When this happens, it usually means that a kernel built for Summit is being booted on a normal machine. The resulting BUG_ON() is misleading so it is caught here.

2008-01-30percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic"travis@sgi.com
- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES - fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro. Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic percpu.h for all arches. An arch may define: __per_cpu_offset Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390). __my_cpu_offset Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine the offset for variables of the currently executing processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390. SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset) If an arch defines it then special handling of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used by s/390. (Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated so that there are less cases to deal with.)

2008-01-30percpu: use a kconfig variable to signal arch specific percpu setuptravis@sgi.com
The use of the __GENERIC_PERCPU is a bit problematic since arches may want to run their own percpu setup while using the generic percpu definitions. Replace it through a kconfig variable.

2008-01-30i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)H. Peter Anvin
The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot loader. This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time field. Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself. Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86 boot : export boot_params via debugfs for debuggingHuang, Ying
This patch export the boot parameters via debugfs for debugging. The files added are as follow: boot_params/data : binary file for struct boot_params boot_params/version : boot protocol version This patch is based on 2.6.24-rc5-mm1 and has been tested on i386 and x86_64 platform. This patch is based on the Peter Anvin's proposal. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-01-30x86: reboot_{32|64}.c unificationMiguel Boton
reboot_{32|64}.c unification patch. This patch unifies the code from the reboot_32.c and reboot_64.c files. It has been tested in computers with X86_32 and X86_64 kernels and it looks like all reboot modes work fine (EFI restart system hasn't been tested yet). Probably I made some mistakes (like I usually do) so I hope we can identify and fix them soon.
