* [PATCH] fix kexec asmMichael Matz2006-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | While testing kexec and kdump we hit problems where the new kernel would freeze or instantly reboot. The easiest way to trigger it was to kexec a kernel compiled for CONFIG_M586 on an athlon cpu. Compiling for CONFIG_MK7 instead would work fine. The patch fixes a few problems with the kexec inline asm. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> Acked-by: "Eric W.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fixAndi Kleen2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't work out very well. In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless. There were also some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all. I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other things but they didn't really work well neither. I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems. We just turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC. I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there. In fact it worked on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on. According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64). But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change: - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254 and IO-APIC setup everywhere - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254 - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia) In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlierAndi Kleen2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe timer or not. This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early. This fixes a couple of problems: - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was set up time_init_gtod too late. - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading because time_init_gtod could actually change it later. Now always print the final timer choice Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] x86_64: no_iommu removal in pci-gart.cJon Mason2006-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In previous versions of pci-gart.c, no_iommu was used to determine if IOMMU was disabled in the GART DMA mapping functions. This changed in 2.6.16 and now gart_xxx() functions are only called if gart is enabled. Therefore, uses of no_iommu in the GART code are no longer necessary and can be removed. Also, it removes double deceleration of no_iommu and force_iommu in pci.h and proto.h, by removing the deceleration in pci.h. Lastly, end_pfn off by one error.

* [PATCH] arch/x86_64/kernel/traps.c PTRACE_SINGLESTEP oopsJohn Blackwood2006-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We found a problem with x86_64 kernels with preemption enabled, where having multiple tasks doing ptrace singlesteps around the same time will cause the system to 'oops'. The problem seems that a task can get preempted out of the do_debug() processing while it is running on the DEBUG_STACK stack. If another task on that same cpu then enters do_debug() and uses the same per-cpu DEBUG_STACK stack, the previous preempted tasks's stack contents can be corrupted, and the system will oops when the preempted task is context switched back in again.

* [PATCH] x86-64: Fix HPET timer on x460Chris McDermott2006-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [description from AK] The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement option. Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter. Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode or no HPET at all. TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

* [PATCH] fstatat64 supportUlrich Drepper2006-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits in the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled. This is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is checked in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in the slab down path). PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This was the reason Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and could not reproduce on other arches). This patch fixes it for x86_64. I won't attempt ia64 as I cannot test it. Credit for spotting this should go to Alok. (akpm: this was applied, then reverted. But it's OK now because we now use for_each_cpu() in the right places).

This patch adds a new option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it using the PMTimer. It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the main timer from the APIC. Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer. The option defaults to off for now. I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies were usually a bit off, but always <1%, which should be tolerable. TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

If someone wants to instrument context switch they can add a probe to schedule() instead.

* [PATCH] x86_64: align per-cpu section to configured cache bytesZach Brown2006-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | Align the start of the per-cpu section to the configured number of bytes in a cache line. This stops a BUG_ON() from triggering in load_module() when DEFINE_PER_CPU() is used in a module and the section isn't cacheline-aligned. Rusty also found this and sent a patch in a while ago (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/10/19/17), I don't know what came of that.

* [PATCH] x86_64: When allocation of merged SG lists fails in the IOMMU don't ↵Kevin VanMaren2006-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | merge [ AK: I redid Kevin's fix to be simpler, but the idea and original analysis of the problem is from Kevin] This avoid allocation failures on some SATA systems like Nvidia CK8 when the IOMMU gets fragmented. Modern SATA devices have quite large queues (128 entries) and the FS with ext2/3 is good enough now that it often passes whole 128 page sg lists down to the driver. These require 512K of continuous free space in the IOMMU aperture to map when merged. When the IOMMU is fragmented this could lead to spurious IO errors due to failing mappings. Short term fix is to just try to map the SG list again unmerged page by page - this way fragmentation doesn't matter anymore. The code for that was already there, but it just wasn't enabled for the merge case. According to Kevin at least the Nvidia device doesn't seem to benefit from merging much anyways, so the only slowdown is from trying to do an unnecessary merge attempt. Kevin plans to implement better fragmentation avoidance in the future, but that wouldn't be 2.6.16 material. TBD: should add some statistic counters to count how often that really happens.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Fix the node cpumask of a cpu going downRavikiran G Thirumalai2006-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, x86_64 and ia64 arches do not clear the corresponding bits in the node's cpumask when a cpu goes down or cpu bring up is cancelled. This is buggy since there are pieces of common code where the cpumask is checked in the cpu down code path to decide on things (like in the slab down path). PPC does the right thing, but x86_64 and ia64 don't (This was the reason Sonny hit upon a slab bug during cpu offline on ppc and could not reproduce on other arches). This patch fixes it for x86_64. I won't attempt ia64 as I cannot test it. Credit for spotting this should go to Alok.

This undoes changes that were done in 2.6.15 and in 2.6.16-rc1, essentially bringing the code back to 2.6.14 level. Only change is I renamed the X86_FEATURE_K8_C flag to X86_FEATURE_REP_GOOD and fixed the check for the flag and also fixed some comments.
