| * [PATCH] x86: Refactor thermal throttle processingDmitriy Zavin2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting) into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting of CPU thermal throttle events. After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit) the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

| * [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

| * [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

But the dummy accesses give a defined ordering for read/write accesses. Also add some memory barriers to the early GS initialization to make sure no PDA access is moved before it.

| * [PATCH] Put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segmentIan Campbell2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file. To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S. The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as well, just in case. In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the data segment instead of a separate one. I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else. If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the effort. The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them. I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly. The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the moment to support this in the future. It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0 (i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what the i386 patch uses.

| * [PATCH] Reload CS when startup_64 is used.Eric W. Biederman2006-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In long mode the %cs is largely a relic. However there are a few cases like iret where it matters that we have a valid value. Without this patch it is possible to enter the kernel in startup_64 without setting %cs to a valid value. With this patch we don't care what %cs value we enter the kernel with, so long as the cs shadow register indicates it is a privileged code segment. Thanks to Magnus Damm for finding this problem and posting the first workable patch. I have moved the jump to set %cs down a few instructions so we don't need to take an extra jump.
