* [PATCH] x86: Remove noreplacement optionAndi Kleen2007-04-241-19/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | noreplacement is dangerous on modern systems because it will not replace the context switch FNSAVE with SSE aware FXSAVE. But other places in the kernel still assume SSE and do FXSAVE and the CPU will then access FXSAVE information with FNSAVE and cause corruption. Easiest way to avoid this is to remove the option. It was mostly for paranoia reasons anyways and alternative()s have been stable for some time. Thanks to Jeremy F. for reporting and helping debug it. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | Support for Longhaul ver. 2 broke driver for VIA C3 Eden 600MHz with Samuel 2 core. Processor is not able to switch frequency anymore. I don't know much about this issue at the moment, but until (if ever) I will know why, this part should be reversed.

* [PATCH] x86: Fix potential overflow in perfctr reservationAndi Kleen2007-04-161-4/+5
| | | | | | | | While reviewing this code again I found a potential overflow of the bitmap. The p4 oprofile can theoretically set bits beyond the reservation bitmap for specific configurations. Avoid that by sizing the bitmaps properly. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
* [PATCH] x86: Fix gcc 4.2 _proxy_pda workaroundAndi Kleen2007-04-161-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to an over aggressive optimizer gcc 4.2 cannot optimize away _proxy_pda in all cases (counter intuitive, but true). This breaks loading of some modules. The earlier workaround to just export a dummy symbol didn't work unfortunately because the module code ignores exports with 0 value. Make it 1 instead. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix logic error in VMI relocation processing. NOPs would always cause a BUG_ON to fire because the != RELOCATION_NONE in the first if clause precluding the == VMI_RELOCATION_NOP in the second clause.

* [PATCH] Proper fix for highmem kmap_atomic functions for VMI for 2.6.21Zachary Amsden2007-04-082-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since lazy MMU batching mode still allows interrupts to enter, it is possible for interrupt handlers to try to use kmap_atomic, which fails when lazy mode is active, since the PTE update to highmem will be delayed. The best workaround is to issue an explicit flush in kmap_atomic_functions case; this is the only way nested PTE updates can happen in the interrupt handler. Thanks to Jeremy Fitzhardinge for noting the bug and suggestions on a fix. This patch gets reverted again when we start 2.6.22 and the bug gets fixed differently.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The __copy_to_user_inatomic() calls in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are broken on original i386 machines, where WP-works-ok == false, as __copy_to_user_inatomic() on such systems calls functions which might sleep and/or contain cond_resched() calls inside of a kmap_atomic() region. The original check for WP-works-ok was in access_ok(), but got moved during the 2.5 series to fix a race vs. swap. Return the number of bytes to copy in the case where we are in an atomic region, so the non atomic code pathes in file_read_actor() and pipe_read() are taken. This could be optimized to avoid the kmap_atomicby moving the check for WP-works-ok into fault_in_pages_writeable(), but this is more intrusive and can be done later.

* | [PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problemRafael J. Wysocki2007-04-021-4/+67
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode driver to hang during the resume. The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and hangs. It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it from disk. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

This is harmless as long as the CPU has a TSC. On TSCless systems this results in an illegal instruction trap. Replace tsc_disabled and tsc_unstable by tsc_enabled, which is only set when the tsc is available and not unstable.

* [PATCH] i386: disable local apic timer via command line or dmi quirkThomas Gleixner2007-03-221-0/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States. This is handled by the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment code. Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch into deeper C-States behind the kernels back. This delays the local apic timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable. Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi quirk for known broken systems. Andi sayeth: While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide spread we will just continue extending it. But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with it.

* [PATCH] i386: clockevents fix breakage on Geode/Cyrix PIT implementationsThomas Gleixner2007-03-221-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode (also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT into one shot mode momentarily. I realized after staring helpless at the bug report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the above transition during the PIT initialization. Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness. The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.

* [PATCH] i386: trust the PM-Timer calibration of the local APIC timerThomas Gleixner2007-03-181-51/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the verification of the calibrated time value. The resulting error is quite small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the observed false positives. We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10, which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel configuration. The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard. This prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to calibrate the local APIC timer. Unfortunately we have no way to disable this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process. Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

I have been working on a fix for this which works for older glibcs that panic when the new relocatable VDSO is used. However, I believe at this time that the fix is going to be too radical to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21. We don't expect this config option to be turned on by vendors for new distributions, so at this point we are willing to drop support for it when VMI is compiled in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more fully addresses the problem.

* [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)john stultz2007-03-055-91/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves the issue found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426 The basic summary is: Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case), where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to the small sampling time used. It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init time. Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall). This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own boxes.

* [PATCH] vmi: apic opsZachary Amsden2007-03-051-73/+91
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use para_fill instead of directly setting the APIC ops to the result of the vmi_get_function call - this allows one to implement a VMI ROM without implementing APIC functions, just using the native APIC functions. While doing this, I realized that there is a lot more cleanup that should have been done. Basically, we should never assume that the ROM implements a specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native implementation. This is critical for future compatibility.

* [PATCH] vmi: fix nohz compileZachary Amsden2007-03-053-16/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | More goo from hrtimers integration. We do compile and run properly with NO_HZ enabled. There was a period when we didn't because of a missing export, but that was since fixed. And with the clocksource code now firmly in place, we can get rid of code that fixes up the wallclock, since this is done in the common infrastructure. This actually fixes a timer bug as well, that was caused by do_settimeofday no longer being callable with interrupts disabled due to the use of on_each_cpu().

* [PATCH] vmi: pit overrideZachary Amsden2007-03-052-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner after the integration of the hrtimers code. The problem is that now the call path for time initialization is: time_init : late_time_init = hpet_time_init; late_time_init -> hpet_time_init: setup_pit_timer (BAD) do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h) time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h) time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c) If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect function pointer in the paravirt-ops table. The problem is, by the time the paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled. But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT. Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the late_time_init hook. This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too late. So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which is the time init function used for native hardware. Paravirt guests have the chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should need no change.

* [PATCH] vmi: paravirt drop udelay opZachary Amsden2007-03-053-13/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed through to real hardware. This can be noticed by any device that interacts with the real world in real time - like AP startup, which takes real time. Or keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time. Or floppy drives, but only when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy. Or IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM. This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a number of misvirtualization bugs, and Alan and Pavel argued pretty strongly against it. We were the only client, and now want to clean up this cruft.
