| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Progam accessed using /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpu%d/err_inject/ This path only exists for CONFIG_NUMA=y systems. Better to use /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu%d/err_inject/ which is available on all systems. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
* | [IA64] Itanium MC Error Injection Tool: Doc and sample applicationFenghua Yu2007-01-29
|/ | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains a documention and sample application. Since the sample application has ~1000 lines of code, it might not be suitable in a kernel documention in kenrel tree. If you think this is not good place to hold the sample application, please let me know and I'm open to other choices e.g. sourceforge etc. Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

* [PATCH] ia64: note requirement for 8250_pnp, now that 8250_acpi is goneBjorn Helgaas2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We removed 8250_acpi in 2.6.17. If we don't have PNPACPI turned on, we won't find any ACPI serial devices, so mention this requirement in the troubleshooting part of the documentation. CONFIG_PNPACPI is already turned on in all the relevant defconfigs.

* [IA64] rework memory attribute aliasingBjorn Helgaas2006-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme: - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because they don't appear in the EFI memory map. This keeps X from working on the Intel Tiger box. - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC access. This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620 boxes in the default configuration. There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping. Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory map doesn't mention the region.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
