* [PATCH] x86: adjust inclusion of asm/fixmap.hJan Beulich2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | Move inclusion of asm/fixmap.h to where it is really used rather than where it may have been used long ago (requires a few other adjustments to includes due to previous implicit dependencies). Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* [PATCH] x86-64: always use physical delivery mode on > 8 CPUsIngo Molnar2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove clustered APIC mode. There's little point in the use of clustered APIC mode, broadcasting is limited to within the cluster only, and chipsets have bugs in this area as well. So default to physical APIC mode when the CPU count is large, and default to logical APIC mode when the CPU count is 8 or smaller. (this patch only removes the use of genapic_cluster and cleans up the resulting genapic.c file - removal of all remaining traces of clustered mode will be done by another patch.)

* [PATCH] x86-64: optimize & fix APIC mode setupIngo Molnar2007-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix a couple of inconsistencies/problems I found while reviewing the x86_64 genapic code (when I was chasing mysterious eth0 timeouts that would only trigger if CPU_HOTPLUG is enabled): - AMD systems defaulted to the slower flat-physical mode instead of the flat-logical mode. The only restriction on AMD systems is that they should not use clustered APIC mode. - removed the CPU hotplug hacks, switching the default for small systems back from phys-flat to logical-flat. The switching to logical flat mode on small systems fixed sporadic ethernet driver timeouts i was getting on a dual-core Athlon64 system: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0c 0005 c07f media 80. eth0: Tx queue start entry 32 dirty entry 28. eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 0008a04a. (queue head) eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 0008a04a. eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 0008a04a. eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 0008a04a. eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex, lpa 0xC5E1 - The use of '<= 8' was a bug by itself (the valid APIC ids for logical flat mode go from 0 to 7, not 0 to 8). The new logic is to use logical flat mode on both AMD and Intel systems, and to only switch to physical mode when logical mode cannot be used. If CPU hotplug is racy wrt. APIC shutdown then CPU hotplug needs fixing, not the whole IRQ system be made inconsistent and slowed down. - minor cleanups: simplified some code constructs build & booted on a couple of AMD and Intel SMP systems.

* [PATCH] x86_64 genapic updateJason Davis2005-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | x86_64 genapic mechanism should be aware of machines that use physical APIC mode regardless of how many clusters/processors are detected. ACPI 3.0 FADT makes this determination very simple by providing a feature flag "force_apic_physical_destination_mode" to state whether the machine unconditionally uses physical APIC mode. Unisys' next generation x86_64 ES7000 will need to utilize this FADT feature flag in order to boot the x86_64 kernel in the correct APIC mode. This patch has been tested on both x86_64 commodity and ES7000 boxes.

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!
