* [PATCH] x86-64: no paravirt for X86_VOYAGER or X86_VISWSRandy Dunlap2006-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since Voyager and Visual WS already define ARCH_SETUP, it looks like PARAVIRT shouldn't be offered for them.

| | | | | | | | | | | oprofile uses smp_num_siblings without testing for CONFIG_X86_HT. I looked at modifying oprofile, but this way is cleaner & simpler and I didn't see a good reason not to just export it when CONFIG_SMP.

* [PATCH] x86: Work around gcc 4.2 over aggressive optimizerAndi Kleen2006-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | The new PDA code uses a dummy _proxy_pda variable to describe memory references to the PDA. It is never referenced in inline assembly, but exists as input/output arguments. gcc 4.2 in some cases can CSE references to this which causes unresolved symbols. Define it to zero to avoid this.

* [PATCH] x86: Fix boot hang due to nmi watchdog init codeRavikiran G Thirumalai2006-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2.6.19 stopped booting (or booted based on build/config) on our x86_64 systems due to a bug introduced in 2.6.19. check_nmi_watchdog schedules an IPI on all cpus to busy wait on a flag, but fails to set the busywait flag if NMI functionality is disabled. This causes the secondary cpus to spin in an endless loop, causing the kernel bootup to hang. Depending upon the build, the busywait flag got overwritten (stack variable) and caused the kernel to bootup on certain builds. Following patch fixes the bug by setting the busywait flag before returning from check_nmi_watchdog. I guess using a stack variable is not good here as the calling function could potentially return while the busy wait loop is still spinning on the flag.

* [PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernelDavid Howells2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

* [PATCH] Generic BUG for i386Jeremy Fitzhardinge2006-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes i386 use the generic BUG machinery. There are no functional changes from the old i386 implementation. The main advantage in using the generic BUG machinery for i386 is that the inlined overhead of BUG is just the ud2a instruction; the file+line(+function) information are no longer inlined into the instruction stream. This reduces cache pollution, and makes disassembly work properly.

This errata requires the mode to be in logical flat, so that interrupts can be directed to more than one cpu(and thus use hardware IRQ balancing enabled by BIOS on these platforms). Following four patches fixes this by moving the quirk to early quirk and forcing the x86_64 genapic selection to logical flat on these platforms. Thanks to Shaohua for pointing out the breakage.

| * [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR codeJan Beulich2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more) regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes this symmetric. While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code, namely - use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44 physical address bits would become available) - the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR) - the generic range validation code checked that the end of the to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been the start of the range - when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also compatible with the respective opposite in the other Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| * [PATCH] i386: clear_fixmap() should not use set_pte()Jan Beulich2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While not strictly required with the current code (as the upper half of page table entries generated by __set_fixmap() cannot be non-zero due to the second parameter of this function being 'unsigned long'), the use of set_pte() in __set_fixmap() in the context of clear_fixmap() is still improper with CONFIG_X86_PAE (see the respective comment in include/asm-i386/pgtable-3level.h) and would turn into a bug if that second parameter ever gets changed to a 64-bit type.

| * [PATCH] paravirt: Add option to allow skipping the timer checkZachary Amsden2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option. The VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires 100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs have not yet been delivered. In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs. While here, make check_timer be __init.

| * [PATCH] paravirt: Add MMU virtualization to paravirt_opsRusty Russell2006-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add the three bare TLB accessor functions to paravirt-ops. Most amusingly, flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb. Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user (non-global). Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is confusingly overloaded.
