* [PATCH] hpet-RTC: cache the comparator registerClemens Ladisch2005-10-301-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | Reads from an HPET register require a round trip to the south bridge and are almost as slow as PCI reads. By caching the last value we've written to the comparator register, we can eliminate all HPET reads from the fast path in the emulated RTC interrupt handler.

* [PATCH] hpet-RTC: fix timer config register accessesClemens Ladisch2005-10-301-7/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure that the RTC timer is in non-periodic mode; some stupid BIOS might have initialized it to periodic mode. Furthermore, don't set the SETVAL bit in the config register. This wouldn't have any effect unless the timer was in period mode (which it isn't), and then the actual timer frequency would be half that of the desired one because incrementing the comparator in the interrupt handler would be done after the hardware has already incremented it itself.

* [PATCH] hpet-RTC: disable interrupt when no longer neededClemens Ladisch2005-10-301-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the emulated RTC interrupt is no longer needed, we better disable it; otherwise, we get a spurious interrupt whenever the timer has rolled over and reaches the same comparator value. Having a superfluous interrupt every five minutes doesn't hurt much, but it's bad style anyway. ;-) Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Acked-by: "Pallipadi, Venkatesh" <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] swsusp: rework memory freeing on resumeRafael J. Wysocki2005-10-301-65/+19

* [PATCH] i386 and x86_64 TSC set_cyc2ns_scale imprecisionMathieu Desnoyers2005-10-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with nearly nanosecond accuracy. Fix the x86_64 architecture too.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Set up safe page tables during resumeRafael J. Wysocki2005-10-102-6/+138
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patch makes swsusp avoid the possible temporary corruption of page translation tables during resume on x86-64. This is achieved by creating a copy of the relevant page tables that will not be modified by swsusp and can be safely used by it on resume. The problem is that during resume on x86-64 swsusp may temporarily corrupt the page tables used for the direct mapping of RAM. If that happens, a page fault occurs and cannot be handled properly, which leads to the solid hang of the affected system. This leads to the loss of the system's state from before suspend and may result in the loss of data or the corruption of filesystems, so it is a serious issue. Also, it appears to happen quite often (for me, as often as 50% of the time). The problem is related to the fact that (at least) one of the PMD entries used in the direct memory mapping (starting at PAGE_OFFSET) points to a page table the physical address of which is much greater than the physical address of the PMD entry itself. Moreover, unfortunately, the physical address of the page table before suspend (i.e. the one stored in the suspend image) happens to be different to the physical address of the corresponding page table used during resume (i.e. the one that is valid right before swsusp_arch_resume() in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend_asm.S is executed). Thus while the image is restored, the "offending" PMD entry gets overwritten, so it does not point to the right physical address any more (i.e. there's no page table at the address pointed to by it, because it points to the address the page table has been at during suspend). Consequently, if the PMD entry is used later on, and it _is_ used in the process of copying the image pages, a page fault occurs, but it cannot be handled in the normal way and the system hangs. In principle we can call create_resume_mapping() from swsusp_arch_resume() (ie. from suspend_asm.S), but then the memory allocations in create_resume_mapping(), resume_pud_mapping(), and resume_pmd_mapping() must be made carefully so that we use _only_ NosaveFree pages in them (the other pages are overwritten by the loop in swsusp_arch_resume()). Additionally, we are in atomic context at that time, so we cannot use GFP_KERNEL. Moreover, if one of the allocations fails, we should free all of the allocated pages, so we need to trace them somehow. All of this is done in the appended patch, except that the functions populating the page tables are located in arch/x86_64/kernel/suspend.c rather than in init.c. It may be done in a more elegan way in the future, with the help of some swsusp patches that are in the works now. [AK: move some externs into headers, renamed a function] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Drop global bit from early low mappingsAndi Kleen2005-10-041-20/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Drop global bit from early low mappings Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh. This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally tracked down by Suresh B. Siddha. The problem was that switching to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption. Drop the global bits. The kernel mapping stays global because it should stay constant. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.14-rc2 does not assign cpus to proper nodeids on our em64t numa boxen.

* [PATCH] utilization of kprobe_mutex is incorrect on x86_64Zhang, Yanmin2005-09-301-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The up()/down() orders are incorrect in arch/x86_64/kprobes.c file. kprobe_mutext is used to protect the free kprobe instruction slot list. arch_prepare_kprobe applies for a slot from the free list, and arch_remove_kprobe returns a slot to the free list. The incorrect up()/down() orders to operate on kprobe_mutex fail to protect the free list. If 2 threads try to get/return kprobe instruction slot at the same time, the free slot list might be broken, or a free slot might be applied by 2 threads.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 66759a01adbfe8828dd063e32cf5ed3f46696181 introduced the fix for time ticking too fast on some boards by disabling one of the doubly connected timer pins on ATI boards. However, it ends up being _much_ too broad a brush, and that just makes some other ATI boards not work at all since they now have no timer source. So disable the automatic ATI southbridge detection, and just rely on people who see this problem disabling it by hand with the option "disable_timer_pin_1" on the kernel command line. Maybe somebody can figure out the proper tests at a later date. Acked-by: Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] x86-64: Make remote TLB flush more scalableAndi Kleen2005-09-123-50/+108
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of using a global spinlock to protect the state of the remote TLB flush use a lock and state for each sending CPU. To tell the receiver where to look for the state use 8 different call vectors. Each CPU uses a specific vector to trigger flushes on other CPUs. Depending on the received vector the target CPUs look into the right per cpu variable for the flush data. When the system has more than 8 CPUs they are hashed to the 8 available vectors. The limited global vector space forces us to this right now. In future when interrupts are split into per CPU domains this could be fixed, at the cost of needing more IPIs in flat mode. Also some minor cleanup in the smp flush code and remove some outdated debug code. Requires patch to move cpu_possible_map setup earlier.
