* [PATCH] i386: i386 add Intel BTS cpufeature bit and detection (take 2)Stephane Eranian2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here is a small patch for i386 which adds a cpufeature flag and detection code for Intel's Branch Trace Store (BTS) feature. This feature can be found on Intel P4 and Core 2 processors among others. It can also be used by perfmon. changelog: - add CPU_FEATURE_BTS - add Branch Trace Store detection signed-off-by: stephane eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
* [PATCH] paravirt: Allow selected bug checks to beRusty Russell2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow selected bug checks to be skipped by paravirt kernels. The two most important are the F00F workaround (which is either done by the hypervisor, or not required), and the 'hlt' instruction check, which can break under some hypervisors.

* [PATCH] i386: mark cpu cache functions as __cpuinitMagnus Damm2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | Mark i386-specific cpu cache functions as __cpuinit. They are all only called from arch/i386/common.c:display_cache_info() that already is marked as __cpuinit. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
* [PATCH] i386: remove redundant generic_identify() calls when identifying cpusMagnus Damm2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu_dev->c_identify is only called from arch/i386/common.c:identify_cpu(), and this after generic_identify() already has been called. There is no need to call this function twice and hook it in c_identify - but I may be wrong, please double check before applying. This patch also removes generic_identify() from cpu.h to avoid unnecessary future nesting. Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm <magnus@valinux.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* [PATCH] x86_64: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUsVenkatesh Pallipadi2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters ( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors. What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid). And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural events. Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver. Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] i386: __devinit should be __cpuinitChuck Ebbert2006-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | Several places in arch/i386/kernel/cpu and kernel/cpu were using __devinit when they should have been __cpuinit. Fixing that saves ~4K when CONFIG_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU. Noticed by Andrew Morton.

* [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Generalize X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC flagAndi Kleen2006-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define it for i386 too. This is a synthetic flag that signifies that the CPU's TSC runs at a constant P state invariant frequency. Fix up the logic on x86-64/i386 to set it on all known CPUs. Use the AMD defined bit to set it on future AMD CPUs.

| * [PATCH] x86-64/i386: Intel HT, Multi core detection fixesSiddha, Suresh B2005-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fields obtained through cpuid vector 0x1(ebx[16:23]) and vector 0x4(eax[14:25], eax[26:31]) indicate the maximum values and might not always be the same as what is available and what OS sees. So make sure "siblings" and "cpu cores" values in /proc/cpuinfo reflect the values as seen by OS instead of what cpuid instruction says. This will also fix the buggy BIOS cases (for example where cpuid on a single core cpu says there are "2" siblings, even when HT is disabled in the BIOS. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4359) Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] mostly_read data sectionChristoph Lameter2005-07-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

* [PATCH] x86_64: add support for Intel dual-core detection and displayingAndi Kleen2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo. It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the "core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64). Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a) (http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a) This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
