| * [PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_CHECKING and add command line option for ↵Andi Kleen2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pagefault tracing CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone. This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time. Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing. That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically only useful at boot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logging for boot errors was turned off because it was broken on some AMD systems. But give Intel EM64T systems a chance because they are supposed to be correct there. The advantage is that there is a chance to actually log uncorrected machine checks after the reset.

| * [PATCH] x86_64: New heuristics to find out hotpluggable CPUs.Andi Kleen2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now) The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would lead to this memory wastage. This implements some new heuristics: - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit, but seems like a obvious extension) - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.
