| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sitsofe Wheeler reported boot problems on linux-next. It looks like the same issue as found by Soeren Sandman in 7575217f656a93, "x86: initialize all fields of mp_irqs[mp_irq_entries]". But his fix is also not complete, as dstapic is used before it assigned.

* x86 boot: add code to add BIOS provided EFI memory entries to kernelPaul Jackson2008-05-251-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add to the kernels boot memory map 'memmap' entries found in the EFI memory descriptors passed in from the BIOS. On EFI systems, up to E820MAX == 128 memory map entries can be passed via the legacy E820 interface (limited by the size of the 'zeropage'). These entries can be duplicated in the EFI descriptors also passed from the BIOS, and possibly more entries passed by the EFI interface, which does not have the E820MAX limit on number of memory map entries. This code doesn't worry about the likely duplicate, overlapping or (unlikely) conflicting entries between the EFI map and the E820 map. It just dumps all the EFI entries into the memmap[] array (which already has the E820 entries) and lets the existing routine sanitize_e820_map() sort the mess out.

* x86 boot: change sanitize_e820_map parameter from byte to int to allow ↵Paul Jackson2008-05-254-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bigger memory maps The map size counter passed into, and back out of, sanitize_e820_map(), was an eight bit type (char or u8), as derived from its origins in legacy BIOS E820 structures. This patch changes that type to an 'int', to allow this sanitize routine to also be used on larger maps (larger than the 256 count that fits in a char). The legacy BIOS E820 interface of course does not change; that remains at 8 bits for this count, holding up to E820MAX == 128 entries. But the kernel internals can handle more when those additional memory map entries are passed from the BIOS via EFI interfaces.

* x86 boot: extend some internal memory map arrays to handle larger EFI inputPaul Jackson2008-05-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extend internal boot time memory tables to allow for up to three entries per node, which may be larger than the 128 E820MAX entries handled by the legacy BIOS E820 interface. The EFI interface, if present, is capable of passing memory map entries for these larger node counts. This patch requires an earlier patch that rewrote code depending on these array sizes from using E820MAX explicitly to size loops, to instead using ARRAY_SIZE() of the applicable array. Another patch following this one will provide the code to pick up additional memory entries passed via the EFI interface from the BIOS and insert them in the following, now enlarged, arrays.

* x86 boot: proper use of ARRAY_SIZE instead of repeated E820MAX constantPaul Jackson2008-05-255-9/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is motivated by a subsequent patch which will allow for more memory map entries on EFI supported systems than can be passed via the x86 legacy BIOS E820 interface. The legacy interface is limited to E820MAX == 128 memory entries, and that "E820MAX" manifest constant was used as the size for several arrays and loops over those arrays. The primary change in this patch is to change code loop sizes over those arrays from using the constant E820MAX, to using the ARRAY_SIZE() macro evaluated for the array being looped. That way, a subsequent patch can change the size of some of these arrays, without breaking this code. This patch also adds a parameter to the sanitize_e820_map() routine, which had an implicit size for the array passed it of E820MAX entries. This new parameter explicitly passes the size of said array. Once again, this will allow a subsequent patch to change that array size for some calls to sanitize_e820_map() without breaking the code. As part of enhancing the sanitize_e820_map() interface this way, I further combined the unnecessarily distinct x86_32 and x86_64 declarations for this routine into a single, commonly used, declaration. This patch in itself should make no difference to the resulting kernel binary. [ mingo@elte.hu: merged to -tip ] Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* | x86: disable mwait for AMD family 10H/11H CPUsThomas Gleixner2008-05-171-1/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous revert of 0c07ee38c9d4eb081758f5ad14bbffa7197e1aec left out the mwait disable condition for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs. Andreas Herrman said: It depends on the CPU. For AMD CPUs that support MWAIT this is wrong. Family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs will enter C1 on HLT. Powersavings then depend on a clock divisor and current Pstate of the core. If all cores of a processor are in halt state (C1) the processor can enter the C1E (C1 enhanced) state. If mwait is used this will never happen. Thus HLT saves more power than MWAIT here. It might be best to switch off the mwait flag for these AMD CPU families like it was introduced with commit f039b754714a422959027cb18bb33760eb8153f0 (x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD Family 10) Re-add the AMD families 10H/11H check and disable the mwait usage for those.

* | x86: fix crash on cpu hotplug on pat-incapable machinesAvi Kivity2008-05-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pat_disable() is __init, which means it goes away after booting is complete. Unfortunately it is used by the hotplug code if the machine is not pat-capable, causing a crash. Fix by marking pat_disable() as __cpuinit.
