* [PATCH] genirq: remove IRQ_DISABLEDIngo Molnar2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | Now that disable_irq() defaults to delayed-disable semantics, the IRQ_DISABLED flag is not needed anymore.

* [PATCH] genirq: do not mask interrupts by defaultIngo Molnar2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Never mask interrupts immediately upon request. Disabling interrupts in high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively only masking interrupts after they happen. (NOTE: with this change the highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.) Mark i8529A controllers as 'never loses an edge'.

* [PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync codeIngo Molnar2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and i386. The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems. The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned off. The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

| * [PATCH] x86-64: avoid warning message livelockRoland Dreier2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've seen my box paralyzed by an endless spew of rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz. messages on the serial console. What seems to be happening is that something real causes an interrupt to be lost and triggers the message. But then printing the message to the serial console (from the hpet interrupt handler) takes more than 1/1024th of a second, and then some more interrupts are lost, so the message triggers again.... Fix this by adding a printk_ratelimit() before printing the warning.

| * [PATCH] x86-64: update IO-APIC dest field to 8-bit for xAPICBenjamin Romer2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the Unisys ES7000/ONE system, we encountered a problem where performing a kexec reboot or dump on any cell other than cell 0 causes the system timer to stop working, resulting in a hang during timer calibration in the new kernel. We traced the problem to one line of code in disable_IO_APIC(), which needs to restore the timer's IO-APIC configuration before rebooting. The code is currently using the 4-bit physical destination field, rather than using the 8-bit logical destination field, and it cuts off the upper 4 bits of the timer's APIC ID. If we change this to use the logical destination field, the timer works and we can kexec on the upper cells. This was tested on two different cells (0 and 2) in an ES7000/ONE system. For reference, the relevant Intel xAPIC spec is kept at ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8501/datashts/30962001.pdf, specifically on page 334.

Frustratingly, adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away ... After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog made these occasional hangs go away. So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method doing stores to chipset mmio registers?) Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted by this problem. As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt hang). I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds and works with the patch applied.

The actual value of them is not important, but it is important to reload them in protected mode. At this time, they still retain the real mode values from initial boot. VT disallows execution of code under such conditions, which means hardware virtualization can not be used to boot the kernel on Intel platforms, making the boot time painfully slow. This requires moving the GS load before the load of GS_BASE, so just move all the segments loads there to keep them together in the code.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch resolves the issue of running with numa=fake=X on kernel command line on x86_64 machines that have big IO hole. While calculating the size of each node now we look at the total hole size in that range. Previously there were nodes that only had IO holes in them causing kernel boot problems. We now use the NODE_MIN_SIZE (64MB) as the minimum size of memory that any node must have. We reduce the number of allocated nodes if the number of nodes specified on kernel command line results in any node getting memory smaller than NODE_MIN_SIZE. This change allows the extra memory to be incremented in NODE_MIN_SIZE granule and uniformly distribute among as many nodes (called big nodes) as possible.

| * [PATCH] mmconfig: Fix x86_64 ioremap base_addressOGAWA Hirofumi2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current mmconfig has some problems of remapped range. a) In the case of broken MCFG tables on Asus etc., we need to remap 256M range, but currently only remap 1M. b) The base address always corresponds to bus number 0, but currently we are assuming it corresponds to start bus number. This patch fixes the above problems. (akpm: Arjan suggests that if the MCFG table is broken we just shouldn't use it, rather than try to work around things).

| * [PATCH] x86-64: x86_64-make-the-numa-hash-function-nodemap-allocation fix fixAmul Shah2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was only one memory node. The prevents the creation of the dynamic hashmap. - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of a node. On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address, meaning, that we see nodes like 00000 - 10000 10000 - 20000 But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap. For example: 00000 - 0FFFF 10000 - 1FFFF In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower than what is possible. In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should be 16.

| * [PATCH] x86-64: Allocate the NUMA hash function nodemap dynamicallyAmul Shah2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the statically allocated memory to NUMA node hash map in favor of a dynamically allocated memory to node hash map (it is cache aligned). This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

| * [PATCH] x86-64: Add __copy_from_user_nocacheAndi Kleen2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining. This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth in some case. The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little faster. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

* | [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-14

Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
