* [PATCH] clocksource: replace is_continuous by a flag fieldThomas Gleixner2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a flag filed allows to encode more than one information into a variable. Preparatory patch for the generic clocksource verification.

* [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.

| * sh: Lazy dcache writeback optimizations.Paul Mundt2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the lazy dcache handling to the model described in Documentation/cachetlb.txt and drops the ptep_get_and_clear() hacks used for the aliasing dcaches on SH-4 and SH7705 in 32kB mode. As a bonus, this slightly cuts down on the cache flushing frequency. With that and the PTEA handling out of the way, the update_mmu_cache() implementations can be consolidated, and we no longer have to worry about which configuration the cache is in for the SH7705 case. And finally, explicitly disable the lazy writeback on SMP (SH-4A). Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

| * sh: Use a jump call table for debug trap handlers.Paul Mundt2007-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rips out most of the needlessly complicated sh_bios and kgdb trap handling, and forces it all through a common fast dispatch path. As more debug traps are inserted, it's important to keep them in sync for all of the parts, not just SH-3/4. As the SH-2 parts are unable to do traps in the >= 0x40 range, we restrict the debug traps to the 0x30-0x3f range on all parts, and also bump the kgdb breakpoint trap down in to this range (from 0xff to 0x3c) so it's possible to use for nommu. Optionally, this table can be padded out to catch spurious traps for SH-3/4, but we don't do that yet.. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

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.

| * | | [PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detectedAndi Kleen2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space to react to such events sooner. The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between all CPUs. I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine check polling code immediately to actually log any events that might have caused the threshold interrupt. Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike x86, x86_64 already passes arguments in registers. The use of regparm attribute makes no difference in produced code, and the use of fastcall just bloats the code.

| * | | [PATCH] x86-64: Fix fake numa for x86_64 machines with big IO holeRohit Seth2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686Ingo Molnar2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz. This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all hardware. (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy of jitter.) Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed. This makes the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly flag.

| * | | [PATCH] i386: add idle notifierStephane Eranian2007-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call, or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not considered part of the low level loop. The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off monitoring.
