* x86, mtrr: make mtrr_aps_delayed_init static boolH. Peter Anvin2009-08-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | mtr_aps_delayed_init was declared u32 and made global, but it only ever takes boolean values and is only ever used in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mtrr/main.c. Declare it "static bool" and remove external references. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Cc: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
* x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT initSuresh Siddha2009-08-211-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SDM Vol 3a section titled "MTRR considerations in MP systems" specifies the need for synchronizing the logical cpu's while initializing/updating MTRR. Currently Linux kernel does the synchronization of all cpu's only when a single MTRR register is programmed/updated. During an AP online (during boot/cpu-online/resume) where we initialize all the MTRR/PAT registers, we don't follow this synchronization algorithm. This can lead to scenarios where during a dynamic cpu online, that logical cpu is initializing MTRR/PAT with cache disabled (cr0.cd=1) etc while other logical HT sibling continue to run (also with cache disabled because of cr0.cd=1 on its sibling). Starting from Westmere, VMX transitions with cr0.cd=1 don't work properly (because of some VMX performance optimizations) and the above scenario (with one logical cpu doing VMX activity and another logical cpu coming online) can result in system crash. Fix the MTRR initialization by doing rendezvous of all the cpus. During boot and resume, we delay the MTRR/PAT init for APs till all the logical cpu's come online and the rendezvous process at the end of AP's bringup, will initialize the MTRR/PAT for all AP's. For dynamic single cpu online, we synchronize all the logical cpus and do the MTRR/PAT init on the AP that is coming online. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: H.

* x86: Fix ASM_X86__ header guardsH. Peter Anvin2008-10-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since: a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless. b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
