* [PATCH] PCI: fix for Toshiba ohci1394 quirkJesse Barnes2005-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After much testing and agony, I've discovered that my previous ohci1394 quirk for Toshiba laptops is not 100% reliable. It apparently fails to do the interrupt line change either correctly or in time, since in about 2 out of 5 boots, the kernel's irqdebug code will *still* disable irq 11 when the ohci1394 driver is loaded (at pci_enable_device time I think). This patch switches things around a little in the workaround. First, it removes the mdelay. I didn't see a need for it and my testing has shown that it's not necessary for the quirk to work. Secondly, instead of trying to change the interrupt line to what ACPI tells us it should be, this patch makes the quirk use the value in the PCI_INTERRUPT_LINE register. On this laptop at least, that seems to be the right thing to do, though additional testing on other laptops and/or with actual firewire devices would be appreciated.

* [PATCH] sched: resched and cpu_idle reworkNick Piggin2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make some changes to the NEED_RESCHED and POLLING_NRFLAG to reduce confusion, and make their semantics rigid. Improves efficiency of resched_task and some cpu_idle routines. * In resched_task: - TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the task's runqueue lock held, and as we hold it during resched_task, then there is no need for an atomic test and set there. The only other time this should be set is when the task's quantum expires, in the timer interrupt - this is protected against because the rq lock is irq-safe. - If TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, then we don't need to do anything. It won't get unset until the task get's schedule()d off. - If we are running on the same CPU as the task we resched, then set TIF_NEED_RESCHED and no further action is required. - If we are running on another CPU, and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG is *not* set after TIF_NEED_RESCHED has been set, then we need to send an IPI. Using these rules, we are able to remove the test and set operation in resched_task, and make clear the previously vague semantics of POLLING_NRFLAG. * In idle routines: - Enter cpu_idle with preempt disabled. When the need_resched() condition becomes true, explicitly call schedule(). This makes things a bit clearer (IMO), but haven't updated all architectures yet. - Many do a test and clear of TIF_NEED_RESCHED for some reason. According to the resched_task rules, this isn't needed (and actually breaks the assumption that TIF_NEED_RESCHED is only cleared with the runqueue lock held). So remove that. Generally one less locked memory op when switching to the idle thread. - Many idle routines clear TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG, and only set it in the inner most polling idle loops. The above resched_task semantics allow it to be set until before the last time need_resched() is checked before going into a halt requiring interrupt wakeup. Many idle routines simply never enter such a halt, and so POLLING_NRFLAG can be always left set, completely eliminating resched IPIs when rescheduling the idle task. POLLING_NRFLAG width can be increased, to reduce the chance of resched IPIs.

* [PATCH] sched: disable preempt in idle tasksNick Piggin2005-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Run idle threads with preempt disabled. Also corrected a bugs in arm26's cpu_idle (make it actually call schedule()). How did it ever work before? Might fix the CPU hotplugging hang which Nigel Cunningham noted. We think the bug hits if the idle thread is preempted after checking need_resched() and before going to sleep, then the CPU offlined. After calling stop_machine_run, the CPU eventually returns from preemption and into the idle thread and goes to sleep. The CPU will continue executing previous idle and have no chance to call play_dead. By disabling preemption until we are ready to explicitly schedule, this bug is fixed and the idle threads generally become more robust.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Via reading the code, my understanding is that powernow-k8 uses preempt_disable to ensure that driver->target doesn't migrate across cpus whilst it's accessing per processor registers, however set_cpus_allowed will provide this for us. Additionally, remove schedule() calls from set_cpus_allowed as set_cpus_allowed ensures that you're executing on the target processor on return.

* | [PATCH] Kprobes: rearrange preempt_disable/enable() callsAnanth N Mavinakayanahalli2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following set of patches are aimed at improving kprobes scalability. We currently serialize kprobe registration, unregistration and handler execution using a single spinlock - kprobe_lock. With these changes, kprobe handlers can run without any locks held. It also allows for simultaneous kprobe handler executions on different processors as we now track kprobe execution on a per processor basis. It is now necessary that the handlers be re-entrant since handlers can run concurrently on multiple processors. All changes have been tested on i386, ia64, ppc64 and x86_64, while sparc64 has been compile tested only. The patches can be viewed as 3 logical chunks: patch 1: Reorder preempt_(dis/en)able calls patches 2-7: Introduce per_cpu data areas to track kprobe execution patches 8-9: Use RCU to synchronize kprobe (un)registration and handler execution. Thanks to Maneesh Soni, James Keniston and Anil Keshavamurthy for their review and suggestions. Thanks again to Anil, Hien Nguyen and Kevin Stafford for testing the patches.

As a result, BIOS ends up bombarded with interrupts early on boot. The BIOS does not expect it since following a "normal" hardware cpu reset, all APIC LVT registers have the Mask bit (16) set and can't generate interrupts. For example, the version of Phoenix BIOS used by VMware enables interrupts for the first time before masking/clearing APIC LVT. The APIC Timer LVT register is still set up for a timer interrupt delivery with a high vector from the previous Linux incarnation (0xef in our case). The BIOS has not fully initialized its IDT at this point and the real mode gate for 0xef remains all zeros. Vector 0xef dispatches BIOS to address 0:0, BIOS takes a #GP and eventually hangs. machine_shutdown() does attempt to shut down APIC before jumping to BIOS, but it is ineffective" Signed-off-by: Zwane Mwaikambo <zwane@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: "Seth, Rohit" <rohit.seth@intel.com> Cc: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Cc: "Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I just noted that -mtune is used, which is only supported on recent GCCs; by reading http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.4/changes.html, you see "-mcpu has been renamed to -mtune.", so for GCC < 3.4 we're not using any specific tuning in the appropriate cases. However -mcpu is deprecated, so use -mtune when possible. This was introduced by commit e9d4dce954a60dc23dd1d967766ca2347b780e54 of the old tree (between 2.6.10-rc3 and 2.6.10) by Linus Torvalds, to remove the use of -march, since that could trigger gcc using SSE on its own. But no attention was used about using -mcpu vs. -mtune. And btw, the old 2.6.4 code (for instance) was: cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium2,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMIII) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUMM) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium3,-march=i686) cflags-$(CONFIG_MPENTIUM4) += $(call check_gcc,-march=pentium4,-march=i686) Signed-off-by: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Also, UML relies on GCC optimization for things like memcpy and such more than i386, so specifying the correct -march and -mtune should be enough. Later, we may want to correct some other stuff. For instance, since FPU context switching, for us, is done (at least partially, i.e. between our kernelspace and userspace) by the host, we may allow usage of FPU operations by GCC. This doesn't hold for kernelspace vs. kernelspace, but we don't support preemption.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After staring at mpparse.c for a little longer I noticed that when we hit our limit of num_processors we are filtering out information about other processors that we can still store. This patch just reorders the code so we store everything we can. This should avoid the incorrect warning about our boot CPU not being listed by the BIOS that we are now getting in the kexec on panic case, and it should allow us to detect all apicid conflicts even when our physical number of cpus exceeds maxcpus.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Removes the unnecessary call to local_irq_disable(). o Kdump was failing while second kernel was coming up. Check for presence of boot cpu apic id was failing in (apic_id_registered), hence hitting BUG(). o This should not have failed because before calling setup_local_APIC(), it is ensured that even if BIOS has not reported boot cpu, then hard set the prence of it. Problem happens because of usage of hard_smp_processor_id() which is hardcoded to zero in case of non SMP kernel. In kdump case second kernel can boot on a cpu whose boot cpu id is not zero. o Using boot_cpu_physical_apicid instead to hard set the presence of boot cpu.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is dangerous to shutdown the apics in machine_crash_shutdown. With my previous patch to initialize apics in init_IRQ we should be able to boot a kernel without this. As long as we reinitialize the APICs we don't care what state they were in during bootup. This should make machine_crash_shutdown noticeably more reliable. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All kinds of ugliness exists because we don't initialize the apics during init_IRQs. - We calibrate jiffies in non apic mode even when we are using apics. - We have to have special code to initialize the apics when non-smp. - The legacy i8259 must exist and be setup correctly, even when we won't use it past initialization. - The kexec on panic code must restore the state of the io_apics. - init/main.c needs a special case for !smp smp_init on x86 In addition to pure code movement I needed a couple of non-obvious changes: - Move setup_boot_APIC_clock into APIC_late_time_init for simplicity. - Use cpu_khz to generate a better approximation of loops_per_jiffies so I can verify the timer interrupt is working. - Call setup_apic_nmi_watchdog again after cpu_khz is initialized on the boot cpu.

* | [PATCH] i386 io_apic.c: Memorize at bootup where the i8259 is connectedEric W. Biederman2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected. This is very useful when we kexec another kernel and likely helpful when dealing with a BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup. Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out. Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be able to use kexec now. In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0. As there does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was reported because someone was getting oopses reading /proc/iomem. It was tracked down to a zero-sized 'struct resource' entry which was located right at 4GB. You need two conditions to hit this bug: a BIOS E820_RAM area starting at exactly the boundary where you specify mem= (to get a zero-sized entry), and for the legacy_init_iomem_resources() loop to skip that resource (which only happens at exactly 4G). I think the killing zero-sized e820 entry is the easiest way to fix this.
