Andrew Morton [Sun, 26 Mar 2006 09:37:31 +0000 (01:37 -0800)] 
[PATCH] tlclk: fix handling of device major

tlclk calls register_chrdev() and permits register_chrdev() to allocate the
major, but it promptly forgets what that major was.  So if there's no hardware
present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume,
an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module.

Fix.

Mark, I'd suggest that that we not call register_chrdev() until _after_ we've
established that the hardware is present.

[PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure

physical addresses.  So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.

This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.

http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2

Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000

systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than
brute-force searching from 0xF0000.  On non-EFI systems, it continues the
brute-force search.

My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with
latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor
does it have an ACPI SPMI table.  Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx
EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for
obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

18 years ago[PATCH] i386: export: memory more than 4G through /proc/iomem
Vivek Goyal [Sun, 26 Mar 2006 09:37:02 +0000 (01:37 -0800)] 
[PATCH] i386: export: memory more than 4G through /proc/iomem

Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device
memory.  But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB.  This leads to
problems for kexec/kdump.

Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a
memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced.  Given the
fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to
see and use that memory.

Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the
system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers.  After a crash new kernel
parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared
accordingly.  As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees
that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it.  Hence vmcore is truncated
and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system.

This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

[PATCH] protect remove_proc_entry

It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings.  There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.

This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL.  So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held.  The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.

The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock.  This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too.  Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.

Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
the spin lock was _not_ used.

[PATCH] x86_64: timer interrupt lockup due to pending interrupt

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash
  on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be
  locked.

o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
  interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
  sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
  pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
  is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
  interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
  locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
  EOI.

o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.

o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
  boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
  mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
  probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

Arjan van de Ven [Sat, 25 Mar 2006 15:30:49 +0000 (16:30 +0100)] 
[PATCH] x86_64: Basic reorder infrastructure

This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of
functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible
to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they
are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where
a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries.

This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts
each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them
in a way defined by the linker script.

As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this,
eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same
ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on
readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased
on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other
things.

I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit
their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on
that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered
approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or
so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel.

Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times
dramatically.

[PATCH] x86_64: Handle years beyond 2100

ACPIv2 has an official but optional way to get a date >2100.  Use it.
But all the platforms I tested didn't seem to support it.  But anyways
the x86-64 kernel should be ready for the 22nd century now.  Actually i
shouldn't care about this because I will be dead by then @)

[PATCH] x86_64: Patch to make the head.S-must-be-first-in-vmlinux order explicit

This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text
section.

I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post
that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that
the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel
text.  This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough
already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to
be reordered.  This patch puts these special functions into a separate
section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly
reordering the rest later.

(So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by
making the order of these functions explicit)

[PATCH] x86_64: to use lapic ids instead of initial apic ids

phys_proc_id[] on AMD boxes is right now populated with the initial
apic id, obtained by the cpuid instruction.  But, the initial apic id
need not be the local apic id on clustered APIC systems (see comment at
x86_64/kernel/genapic_cluster.c, line 110).  On vSMPowered with AMD
CPUs the cpu_to_node will turn out to be incorrect (as apicid_to_node[] is
indexed by the initial apic id rather than the local apic id).
On vSMPowered boxes with Intel CPUs this is working correctly as
phys_proc_id[] is initialized correctly in detect_ht().

This fixes AMD boot path according to specification, to use the correct
routines for local apic id and socket ids.  We use
hard_smp_processor_id() to read the local apic id, and phys_pkg_id() to
determine socket id for phys_proc_id[]

Patch tested on Tyan multicore boxes as well as vSMPowered boxes.
