* [PATCH] x86: Refactor thermal throttle processingDmitriy Zavin2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting) into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting of CPU thermal throttle events. After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit) the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

* [PATCH] Add 64bit jiffies compares (for use with get_jiffies_64)Dmitriy Zavin2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current time_before/time_after macros will fail typechecks when passed u64 values (as returned by get_jiffies_64()). On 64bit systems, this will just result in a warning about mismatching types without explicit casts, but since unsigned long and u64 (unsigned long long) are of same size, it will still work. On 32bit systems, a long is 32bits, so the value from get_jiffies_64() will be truncated by the cast and thus lose all the precision gained by 64bit jiffies.

* [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* [PATCH] i386: Split multi-line printk in oops output.Dave Jones2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes, bug reports come in where we've had an oops, and the only record we have is what the reporter saw on screen shortly before the system locked up completely. Unfortunatly, syslog only prints lines beginning with KERN_EMERG to the console, so some lines get lost. An example of this can be seen at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203723 Some of this information isn't vital to diagnosis, but some parts are useful, such as the tainted flag.

* [PATCH] i386: Allow a kernel not to be in ring 0Rusty Russell2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking privilege level (user vs kernel). This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used "get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in the code... 1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero. And: Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.) c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them. d.
