Andi Kleen [Sun, 26 Feb 2006 03:18:52 +0000 (04:18 +0100)] 
[PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fix

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.

ACPI is initialized very early on x86-64, before the DMI code is
initialized.  This means it would often discover a 0 year and then turn
off ACPI because it thought the BIOS was too old.  Some systems don't
boot without ACPI so this was a problem.

I have a full fix by adding new very early DMI detection, but it needs
more testing before it can be merged.  For 2.6.16 let's just turn the
check off.  It never made much sense anyways because there are no x86-64
systems older than 2002 or so and they generally all have working ACPI.

[PATCH] flags parameter for linkat

I'm currently at the POSIX meeting and one thing covered was the
incompatibility of Linux's link() with the POSIX definition.  The name.
Linux does not follow symlinks, POSIX requires it does.

Even if somebody thinks this is a good default behavior we cannot change this
because it would break the ABI.  But the fact remains that some application
might want this behavior.

We have one chance to help implementing this without breaking the behavior.
 For this we could use the new linkat interface which would need a new
flags parameter.  If the new parameter is AT_SYMLINK_FOLLOW the new
behavior could be invoked.

I do not want to introduce such a patch now.  But we could add the
parameter now, just don't use it.  The patch below would do this.  Can we

When the pages are allocated it is not clear which of the out of place
pages will be moved to the new pages.  So we cannot specify an address as
needed by alloc_page_vma().  This causes problem for MPOL_INTERLEAVE which
will currently allocate the pages on the first node of the set.  If mbind
is used with vma that has the policy of MPOL_INTERLEAVE then the
interleaving of pages may be destroyed.

This patch fixes that by generating a fake address for each alloc_page_vma
which will result is a distribution of pages as prescribed by
MPOL_INTERLEAVE.

Lee also noted that the sequence of nodes for the new pages seems to be

Jamal Hadi Salim [Fri, 24 Feb 2006 00:18:01 +0000 (16:18 -0800)] 
[NET] ethernet: Fix first packet goes out with MAC 00:00:00:00:00:00

When you turn off ARP on a netdevice then the first packet always goes
out with a dstMAC of all zeroes. This is because the first packet is
used to resolve ARP entries. Even though the ARP entry may be resolved
(I tried by setting a static ARP entry for a host i was pinging from),
it gets overwritten by virtue of having the netdevice disabling ARP.

Subsequent packets go out fine with correct dstMAC address (which may
be why people have ignored reporting this issue).

To cut the story short:

the culprit code is in net/ethernet/eth.c::eth_header()

----
        /*
         *      Anyway, the loopback-device should never use this
function...
         */

        if (dev->flags & (IFF_LOOPBACK|IFF_NOARP))
        {
                memset(eth->h_dest, 0, dev->addr_len);
                return ETH_HLEN;
        }

if(daddr)
        {
                memcpy(eth->h_dest,daddr,dev->addr_len);
                return ETH_HLEN;
        }

----

Note how the h_dest is being reset when device has IFF_NOARP.

As a note:
All devices including loopback pass a daddr. loopback in fact passes
a 0 all the time ;->
This means i can delete the check totaly or i can remove the IFF_NOARP

Alexey says:
--------------------
I think, it was me who did this crap. It was so long ago I do not remember
why it was made.

I remember some troubles with dummy device. It tried to resolve
addresses, apparently, without success and generated errors instead of
blackholing. I think the problem was eventually solved at neighbour
level.

After some thinking I suspect the deletion of this chunk could change
behaviour of some parts which do not use neighbour cache f.e. packet
socket.

I think safer approach would be to move this chunk after if (daddr).
And the possibility to remove this completely could be analyzed later.
