* [PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanupDavid Gibson2006-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping. is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own. Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never used. In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range, whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed). This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to set up new areas for use by hugepages. No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR). Signed-off-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Zhang Yanmin <yanmin.zhang@intel.com> Cc: "David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.

* [PATCH] on_each_cpu(): disable local interruptsAndrew Morton2006-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local interrupts disabled. So we should run the function with local interrupts disabled on this CPU, too. And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both UP and SMP. (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent). Also uninlines on_each_cpu(). softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file. Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function(). It drives me nuts. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] x86: check for online cpus before bringing them upSrivatsa Vaddagiri2006-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup. On x86, CPU0 is never offlined. The subsequent attempt to online CPU0 doesn't take that into account. It actually tries to bootup the already booted CPU. Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce).

* [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 IIAndi Kleen2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU ends up processing it twice. This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0. I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds options to enable/disable too) Ported over from a similar x86-64 change. I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI. Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

* [PATCH] Fix topology.c locationZachary Amsden2006-02-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition, on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes both of these problems. Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

The result is that on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement fstatat64. This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64 the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what is done for the other stat syscalls as well. This patch might break some other archs (those which define __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed). The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

* | [PATCH] i386 cpu hotplug: don't access freed memoryChuck Ebbert2006-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the vendor and it contains pointers to freed data. Fix that by: 1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup. 2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data]. 3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu to a safe default when the vendor is not found. This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already but no error was reported.

* | [PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUsEric Dumazet2006-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu(). (The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's currently corrupting memory).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some broken BIOS's had processors disabled, but same apic id as a valid processor.

* | [PATCH] OProfile: fixed x86_64 incorrect kernel call graphsTong Li2006-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix the problem in kernel 2.6.15.1 (and early versions) that OProfile on x86_64 does not correctly collect the stack traces for kernel functions. The original code in valid_kernel_stack() in arch/i386/oprofile/backtrace.c assumes that the frame pointer (headaddr) should be greater than stack (i.e., regs). This assumption is wrong for x86_64 because NMIs in x86_64 use a seperate stack different from the kernel stack. Therefore, the variable stack now points to some location on the NMI stack, which turns out to be at a higher address than the frame pointer (headaddr) on the kernel stack. The correct comparison here should be between headaddr and regs->rsp for x86_64.
