* [PATCH] x86: fix the irqbalance quirk for E7320/E7520/E7525Siddha, Suresh B2006-12-078-12/+88
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early quirks. And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode. This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata workaround).

* [PATCH] x86: add write_pci_config_byte() to direct PCI access routinesSiddha, Suresh B2006-12-072-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mechanism of selecting physical mode in genapic when cpu hotplug is enabled on x86_64, broke the quirk(quirk_intel_irqbalance()) introduced for working around the transposing interrupt message errata in E7520/E7320/E7525 (revision ID 0x9 and below. errata #23 in http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf). This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by BIOS on these platforms). Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms. Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

* [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR codeJan Beulich2006-12-077-60/+162
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more) regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes this symmetric. While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code, namely - use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44 physical address bits would become available) - the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR) - the generic range validation code checked that the end of the to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been the start of the range - when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also compatible with the respective opposite in the other Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* [PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer checkZachary Amsden2006-12-072-4/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option. The VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires 100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs have not yet been delivered. In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs. While here, make check_timer be __init.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ptep_get_and_clear uses an atomic instruction sequence to get and clear an active pte. Rather than add such an atomic operator to all virtual machine implementations in paravirt-ops, it is easier to support the raw atomic sequence and use either a trapping writable pagetable approach, or a post-update notification. For the post update notification, we require the pte_update function to be called after the access. Combine the 2-level and 3-level paging operators into one common function which does the post-update notification, and rename the actual atomic sequences to raw_ptep_xxx operators.

Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is confusingly overloaded.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude, are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it. The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded). Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check.

* [PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisationRusty Russell2006-12-0727-58/+890
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT. This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops structure with their own variants. All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier. And: +From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup(). Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86: arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior Move memory_setup() to avoid this.
