2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: Patch to make the head.S-must-be-first-in-vmlinux order explicitArjan van de Ven
This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text section. I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel text. This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to be reordered. This patch puts these special functions into a separate section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly reordering the rest later. (So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by making the order of these functions explicit) Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: Implement early DMI scanningAndi Kleen
There are more and more cases where we need to know DMI information early to work around bugs. i386 already had early DMI scanning, but x86-64 didn't. Implement this now.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: Clean up and tweak ACPI blacklist year codeAndi Kleen
- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other subsystems too. - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI, the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: prefetch the mmap_sem in the fault pathArjan van de Ven
In a micro-benchmark that stresses the pagefault path, the down_read_trylock on the mmap_sem showed up quite high on the profile. Turns out this lock is bouncing between cpus quite a bit and thus is cache-cold a lot. This patch prefetches the lock (for write) as early as possible (and before some other somewhat expensive operations). With this patch, the down_read_trylock basically fell out of the top of profile.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: to use lapic ids instead of initial apic idsRavikiran G Thirumalai
phys_proc_id[] on AMD boxes is right now populated with the initial apic id, obtained by the cpuid instruction. But, the initial apic id need not be the local apic id on clustered APIC systems (see comment at x86_64/kernel/genapic_cluster.c, line 110). On vSMPowered with AMD CPUs the cpu_to_node will turn out to be incorrect (as apicid_to_node[] is indexed by the initial apic id rather than the local apic id). On vSMPowered boxes with Intel CPUs this is working correctly as phys_proc_id[] is initialized correctly in detect_ht(). This fixes AMD boot path according to specification, to use the correct routines for local apic id and socket ids. We use hard_smp_processor_id() to read the local apic id, and phys_pkg_id() to determine socket id for phys_proc_id[] Patch tested on Tyan multicore boxes as well as vSMPowered boxes.

2006-03-25[PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich
callbacks While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier() are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

2006-03-25[PATCH] sys_alarm() unsigned signed conversion fixupThomas Gleixner
alarm() calls the kernel with an unsigend int timeout in seconds. The value is stored in the tv_sec field of a struct timeval to setup the itimer. The tv_sec field of struct timeval is of type long, which causes the tv_sec value to be negative on 32 bit machines if seconds > INT_MAX. Before the hrtimer merge (pre 2.6.16) such a negative value was converted to the maximum jiffies timeout by the timeval_to_jiffies conversion. It's not clear whether this was intended or just happened to be done by the timeval_to_jiffies code. hrtimers expect a timeval in canonical form and treat a negative timeout as already expired. This breaks the legitimate usage of alarm() with a timeout value > INT_MAX seconds. For 32 bit machines it is therefor necessary to limit the internal seconds value to avoid API breakage. Instead of doing this in all implementations of sys_alarm the duplicated sys_alarm code is moved into a common function in itimer.c Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-03-24[IA64] MCA recovery: kernel context recovery tableRuss Anderson
Memory errors encountered by user applications may surface when the CPU is running in kernel context. The current code will not attempt recovery if the MCA surfaces in kernel context (privilage mode 0). This patch adds a check for cases where the user initiated the load that surfaces in kernel interrupt code. An example is a user process lauching a load from memory and the data in memory had bad ECC. Before the bad data gets to the CPU register, and interrupt comes in. The code jumps to the IVT interrupt entry point and begins execution in kernel context. The process of saving the user registers (SAVE_REST) causes the bad data to be loaded into a CPU register, triggering the MCA. The MCA surfaces in kernel context, even though the load was initiated from user context. As suggested by David and Tony, this patch uses an exception table like approach, puting the tagged recovery addresses in a searchable table. One difference from the exception table is that MCAs do not surface in precise places (such as with a TLB miss), so instead of tagging specific instructions, address ranges are registers. A single macro is used to do the tagging, with the input parameter being the label of the starting address and the macro being the ending address. This limits clutter in the code. This patch only tags one spot, the interrupt ivt entry. Testing showed that spot to be a "heavy hitter" with MCAs surfacing while saving user registers. Other spots can be added as needed by adding a single macro. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson (rja@sgi.com) Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2006-03-24[PATCH] set_page_dirty() return value fixesAndrew Morton
We need set_page_dirty() to return true if it actually transitioned the page from a clean to dirty state. This wasn't right in a couple of places. Do a kernel-wide audit, fix things up. This leaves open the possibility of returning a negative errno from set_page_dirty() sometime in the future. But we don't do that at present.
