* [IA64] CMC/CPE: Reverse the order of fetching log and checking poll thresholdHidetoshi Seto2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reverses the order of fetching log from SAL and checking poll threshold. This will fix following trivial issues: - If SAL_GET_SATE_INFO is unbelievably slow (due to huge system or just its silly implementation) and if it takes more than 1/5 sec, CMCI/CPEI will never switch to CMCP/CPEP. - Assuming terrible flood of interrupt (continuous corrected errors let all CPUs enter to handler at once and bind them in it), CPUs will be serialized by IA64_LOG_LOCK(*). Now we check the poll threshold after the lock and log fetch, so we need to call SAL_GET_STATE_INFO (num_online_cpus() + 4) times in the worst case. if we can check the threshold before the lock, we can shut up interrupts quickly without waiting preceding log fetches, and the number of times will be reduced to (num_online_cpus()) in the same situation.

* [IA64] ar.fpsr not set on MCA/INIT kernel entryRuss Anderson2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When entering the kernel due to an MCA or INIT, ar.fpsr (ar40) was not getting set to the kernel default value (remaining at the user value). The effect depends on the user setting of ar.fpsr. In the test case, the effect was addresses printing with strange hex values. Setting ar.fpsr in ia64_set_kernel_registers sets it for both the MCA and INIT paths. The user value of ar.fpsr is correctly saved (in ia64_state_save) and restored (in ia64_state_restore). Below is an example of output with very strange hex values. Anyone know the value of hex 'g'? :-) Processes interrupted by INIT - 0 (cpu 14 task 0xdfffg55g7a4c6gA) Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson (rja@sgi.com) Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* [IA64] printing support for MCA/INITHidetoshi Seto2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Printing message to console from MCA/INIT handler is useful, however doing oops_in_progress = 1 in them exactly makes something in kernel wrong. Especially it sounds ugly if system goes wrong after returning from recoverable MCA. This patch adds ia64_mca_printk() function that collects messages into temporary-not-so-large message buffer during in MCA/INIT environment and print them out later, after returning to normal context or when handlers determine to down the system. Also this print function is exported for use in extensional MCA handler. It would be useful to describe detail about recovery. NOTE: I don't think it is sane thing if temporary message buffer is enlarged enough to hold whole stack dumps from INIT, so buffering is disabled during stack dump from INIT-monarch (= default_monarch_init_process). please fix it in future.

* [IA64] Make gp value point to Region 5 in mca handlerZou Nan hai2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | MCA dispatch code take physical address of GP passed from SAL, then call DATA_PA_TO_VA twice on GP before call into C code. The first time is in ia64_set_kernel_register, the second time is in VIRTUAL_MODE_ENTER. The gp is changed to a virtual address in region 7 because DATA_PA_TO_VA is implemented by dep instruction. However when notify blocks were called from MCA handler code, because notify blocks are supported by callback function pointers, gp value value was switched to region 5 again. The patch set gp register to kernel gp of region 5 at entry of MCA dispatch. Signed-off-by: Zou Nan hai <nanhai.zou@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

| * [IA64] esi-supportDavid Mosberger-Tang2006-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for making ESI calls [1]. ESI stands for "Extensible SAL specification" and is basically a way for invoking firmware subroutines which are identified by a GUID. I don't know whether ESI is used by vendors other than HP (if you do, please let me know) but as firmware "backdoors" go, this seems one of the cleaner methods, so it seems reasonable to support it, even though I'm not aware of any publicly documented ESI calls. I'd have liked to make the ESI module completely stand-alone, but unfortunately that is not easily (or not at all) possible because in order to make ESI calls in physical mode, a small stub similar to the EFI stub is needed in the kernel proper. I did try to create a stub that would work in user-level, but it quickly got ugly beyond recognition (e.g., the stub had to make assumptions about how the module-loader generated call-stubs work) and I didn't even get it to work (that's probably fixable, but I didn't bother because I concluded it was too ugly anyhow). While it's not terribly elegant to have kernel code which isn't actively used in the kernel proper, I think it might be worth making an exception here for two reasons: the code is trivially small (all that's really needed is esi_stub.S) and by including it in the normal kernel distro, it might encourage other OEMs to also use ESI, which I think would be far better than each inventing their own firmware "backdoor". The code was originally written by Alex. I just massaged and packaged it a bit (and perhaps messed up some things along the way...). Changes since first version of patch that was posted to mailing list: * Export ia64_esi_call and ia64_esi_call_phys() as GPL symbols. * Disallow building esi.c as a module for now. Building as a module would currently lead to an unresolved reference to "sal_lock" on SMP kernels because that symbol doesn't get exported. * Export esi_call_phys() only if ESI is enabled. * Remove internal stuff from esi.h and add a "proc_type" argument to ia64_esi_call() such that serialization-requirements can be expressed (ESI follows SAL here, where procedure calls may have to be serialized, are MP-safe, or MP-safe andr reentrant).

Those changes were needed for EFI-environment Intel macs, but broke some newer Intel 965 boards, so for now it's better to revert to our old 2.6.17 behaviour and at least avoid introducing any new breakage.

This patch only saves the option string at the early boot stage, and parses them later when block2mtd_init() is called. If open_bdev_excl() fails, open_by_devnum(name_to_dev_t()) is tried instead, which makes it possible to initialize the driver before rootfs has been mounted. Also gets rid of the superfluous parse_name() that only checks if name is longer than 80 chars and copies it to a string that is not kfreed. With this patch, I can boot statically compiled block2mtd, and mount jffs2 as rootfs (without modules or initrd), with lilo config like this: root=/dev/mtdblock0 append="rootfstype=jffs2 block2mtd.block2mtd=/dev/hdc2,65536" (Note that rootfstype=jffs2 is required, since the kernel only tries filesystems without "nodev" attribute by default, and jffs is "nodev"). Compared to first version of this patch, this one does not copy the parameters to the global buffer if init has already been called, and the global array is marked as __initdata. Compared to the second version of this patch, module build is fixed. Compared to the third version of this patch, statically compiled block2mtd driver with no boot-time parameter no longer gives spurious error 'cannot open device ""' Signed-off-by: Ville Herva <vherva@vianova.fi> Acked-by: Jörn Engel <joern@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

(30% degradation running dbench with 16 threads) Commit 21730eed11de42f22afcbd43f450a1872a0b5ea1, which claims to make EXT2_DEBUG work again, moves the taking of the kernel lock out of debug-only code in ext2_count_free_inodes and ext2_count_free_blocks and into ext2_statfs. The same problem was fixed in ext3 by removing the lock completely (commit 5b11687924e40790deb0d5f959247ade82196665) Signed-off-by: Dave Kleikamp <shaggy@austin.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
