a63954b5ca [PATCH] i386: remove pointless printk from i386 oops output
This just got removed on x86-64, do the same on 32bit.
It always annoyed me when this ate a line of oops output pushing
interesting stuff off the screen.

9b48341752 [PATCH] i386: fix buggy MTRR address checks
Fix checks that failed to realize that values are 4-kB-unit-sized (note the
format strings in this same diff context which *do* realize the unit size,
via appended "000"!).  Also fix an incorrect below-1MB area check (as
gathered from Jan Beulich's unapplied patch at
http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0411.1/1378.html ) Update
mtrr_add_page() docu to make 4-kB-sized calculation more obvious.

Given several further items mentioned in Jan's patch mail, all in all MTRR
code seems surprisingly buggy, for a surprisingly long period of time (many
years).  Further work/investigation would be useful.

TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it
TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy
TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks.  Long -mm
TBD simmering would make sense, especially since these now-working checks might
TBD turn out to have adverse effects on unaffected hardware.

368c73d4f6 PCI: quirks: fix the festering mess that claims to handle IDE quirks
The number of permutations of crap we do is amazing and almost all of it
has the wrong effect in 2.6.

At the heart of this is the PCI SFF magic which says that compatibility
mode PCI IDE controllers use ISA IRQ routing and hard coded addresses
not the BAR values. The old quirks variously clears them, sets them,
adjusts them and then IDE ignores the result.

In order to drive all this garbage out and to do it portably we need to
handle the SFF rules directly and properly. Because we know the device
BAR 0-3 are not used in compatibility mode we load them with the values
that are implied (and indeed which many controllers actually
thoughtfully put there in this mode anyway).

This removes special cases in the IDE layer and libata which now knows
that bar 0/1/2/3 always contain the correct address. It means our
resource allocation map is accurate from boot, not "mostly accurate"
after ide is loaded, and it shoots lots of code. There is also lots more
code and magic constant knowledge to shoot once this is in and settled.

Been in my test tree for a while both with drivers/ide and with libata.
Wants some -mm shakedown in case I've missed something dumb or there are
corner cases lurking.

808dbbb6bb x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chain
When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).

I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.

This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
the other stack unwinding code.

dc1829a4c3 [PATCH] i386/x86_64: ACPI cpu_idle_wait() fix
The scheduler on Andreas Friedrich's hyperthreading system stopped
working properly: the scheduler would never move tasks to another CPU!
The lask known working kernel was 2.6.8.

After a couple of attempts to corner the bug, the following smoking gun
was found:

  BIOS reported wrong ACPI idfor the processor
  CPU#1: set_cpus_allowed(), swapper:1, 3 -> 2
   [<c0103bbe>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x34/0x4a
   [<c0103ceb>] show_trace+0x2c/0x2e
   [<c01045f8>] dump_stack+0x2b/0x2d
   [<c0116a77>] set_cpus_allowed+0x52/0xec
   [<c0101d86>] cpu_idle_wait+0x2e/0x100
   [<c0259c57>] acpi_processor_power_exit+0x45/0x58
   [<c0259752>] acpi_processor_remove+0x46/0xea
   [<c025c6fb>] acpi_start_single_object+0x47/0x54
   [<c025cee5>] acpi_bus_register_driver+0xa4/0xd3
   [<c04ab2d7>] acpi_processor_init+0x57/0x77
   [<c01004d7>] init+0x146/0x2fd
   [<c0103a87>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10

a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...

and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.

45c9953325 [PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interrupts
Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(),
causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like

	eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
	eth0: found link beat
	eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
	...

Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said:

  "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
   Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
   _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
   masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
   cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).

   So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
   because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
   you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
   and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
   instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
   self-IPI."

This trivial patch solves the problem.

d654c673d6 [PATCH] Regression in 2.6.19-rc microcode driver
If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some,
ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace"
behavior that is introduced..  and which runs too early.  The result is a
boot hang; which is really nasty.

The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19
by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot.  (That
is a good idea in general anyway)

The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario
(during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but
the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at
least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

d7a1944e8d [CPUFREQ] speedstep-centrino should ignore upper performance control bits
On some systems such as the IBM x3650 there are bits set in the
upper half of the control values provided by the _PSS object.
These bits are only relevant for cpufreq drivers that use IO ports
which are not currently supported by the speedstep-centrino driver.
The current MSR oriented code assumes that upper bits are not set
and thus fails to work correctly when they are.  e.g. the control
and status value equality check fails even though the ACPI spec
allows the inequality.

f9dadfa71b i386: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct order
Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we
need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it.

The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which
case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word
doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

130fe05dbc i386: clean up io-apic accesses
This is preparation for fixing the ordering of the accesses that
got broken by the commit cf4c6a2f27 when
factoring out the "common" io apic routing entry accesses.

Move the accessor function (that were only used by io_apic.c) out
of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than
making up our own "volatile" pointers.

cdfce1f571 [PATCH] x86: Use -maccumulate-outgoing-args
This avoids some problems with gcc 4.x and earlier generating
invalid unwind information. In 4.1 the option is default
when unwind information is enabled.

And it seems to generate smaller code too, so it's probably
a good thing on its own. With gcc 4.0:

i386:
4683198  902112  480868 6066178  5c9002 vmlinux (before)
4449895  902112  480868 5832875  5900ab vmlinux (after)

4854193 1449584  648216 6951993  6a1439 vmlinux (after)

On 4.1 it shouldn't make much difference because it is
default when unwind is enabled anyways.

Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion

6b4b78fed4 PCI: optionally sort device lists breadth-first
Problem:
New Dell PowerEdge servers have 2 embedded ethernet ports, which are
labeled NIC1 and NIC2 on the chassis, in the BIOS setup screens, and
in the printed documentation.  Assuming no other add-in ethernet ports
in the system, Linux 2.4 kernels name these eth0 and eth1
respectively.  Many people have come to expect this naming.  Linux 2.6
kernels name these eth1 and eth0 respectively (backwards from
expectations).  I also have reports that various Sun and HP servers
have similar behavior.


Root cause:
Linux 2.4 kernels walk the pci_devices list, which happens to be
sorted in breadth-first order (or pcbios_find_device order on i386,
which most often is breadth-first also).  2.6 kernels have both the
pci_devices list and the pci_bus_type.klist_devices list, the latter
is what is walked at driver load time to match the pci_id tables; this
klist happens to be in depth-first order.

On systems where, for physical routing reasons, NIC1 appears on a
lower bus number than NIC2, but NIC2's bridge is discovered first in
the depth-first ordering, NIC2 will be discovered before NIC1.  If the
list were sorted breadth-first, NIC1 would be discovered before NIC2.

A PowerEdge 1955 system has the following topology which easily
exhibits the difference between depth-first and breadth-first device
lists.

-[0000:00]-+-00.0  Intel Corporation 5000P Chipset Memory Controller Hub
           +-02.0-[0000:03-08]--+-00.0-[0000:04-07]--+-00.0-[0000:05-06]----00.0-[0000:06]----00.0  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC2, 2.4 kernel name eth1, 2.6 kernel name eth0)
           +-1c.0-[0000:01-02]----00.0-[0000:02]----00.0  Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet (labeled NIC1, 2.4 kernel name eth0, 2.6 kernel name eth1)


Other factors, such as device driver load order and the presence of
PCI slots at various points in the bus hierarchy further complicate
this problem; I'm not trying to solve those here, just restore the
device order, and thus basic behavior, that 2.4 kernels had.


Solution:

The solution can come in multiple steps.

Suggested fix #1: kernel
Patch below optionally sorts the two device lists into breadth-first
ordering to maintain compatibility with 2.4 kernels.  It adds two new
command line options:
  pci=bfsort
  pci=nobfsort
to force the sort order, or not, as you wish.  It also adds DMI checks
for the specific Dell systems which exhibit "backwards" ordering, to
make them "right".


Suggested fix #2: udev rules from userland
Many people also have the expectation that embedded NICs are always
discovered before add-in NICs (which this patch does not try to do).
Using the PCI IRQ Routing Table provided by system BIOS, it's easy to
determine which PCI devices are embedded, or if add-in, which PCI slot
they're in.  I'm working on a tool that would allow udev to name
ethernet devices in ascending embedded, slot 1 .. slot N order,
subsort by PCI bus/dev/fn breadth-first.  It'll be possible to use it
independent of udev as well for those distributions that don't use
udev in their installers.

Suggested fix #3: system board routing rules
One can constrain the system board layout to put NIC1 ahead of NIC2
regardless of breadth-first or depth-first discovery order.  This adds
a significant level of complexity to board routing, and may not be
possible in all instances (witness the above systems from several
major manufacturers).  I don't want to encourage this particular train
of thought too far, at the expense of not doing #1 or #2 above.


Feedback appreciated.  Patch tested on a Dell PowerEdge 1955 blade
with 2.6.18.

You'll also note I took some liberty and temporarily break the klist
abstraction to simplify and speed up the sort algorithm.  I think
that's both safe and appropriate in this instance.

b5e4efe7e0 PCI: Turn pci_fixup_video into generic for embedded VGA
pci_fixup_video turns into generic code because there are many platforms need this fixup
for embedded VGA as well as x86. The Video BIOS integrates into System BIOS on a machine
has embedded VGA although embedded VGA generally don't have PCI ROM. As a result,
embedded VGA need the way that the sysfs rom points to the Video BIOS of System
RAM (0xC0000). PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture specification describes the condition whether
or not PCI ROM forwards VGA compatible memory address. fixup_video suits this specification.
Although the Video ROM generally implements in x86 code regardless of platform, some
application such as X Window System can run this code by dosemu86. Therefore,
pci_fixup_video should turn into generic code.

3f4a0b917c [PATCH] i386 Time: Avoid PIT SMP lockups
Avoid possible PIT livelock issues seen on SMP systems (and reported by
Andi), by not allowing it as a clocksource on SMP boxes.

However, since the PIT may no longer be present, we have to properly handle
the cases where SMP systems have TSC skew and fall back from the TSC.
Since the PIT isn't there, it would "fall back" to the TSC again.  So this
changes the jiffies rating to 1, and the TSC-bad rating value to 0.

Thus you will get the following behavior priority on i386 systems:

tsc		[if present & stable]
hpet		[if present]
cyclone		[if present]
acpi_pm		[if present]
pit		[if UP]
jiffies

Rather then the current more complicated:
tsc		[if present & stable]
hpet		[if present]
cyclone		[if present]
acpi_pm		[if present]
pit		[if cpus < 4]
tsc		[if present & unstable]
jiffies

dfde5d62ed [CPUFREQ][8/8] acpi-cpufreq: Add support for freq feedback from hardware
Enable ondemand governor and acpi-cpufreq to use IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR
to get active frequency feedback for the last sampling interval. This will
make ondemand take right frequency decisions when hardware coordination of
frequency is going on.

Without APERF/MPERF, ondemand can take wrong decision at times due
to underlying hardware coordination or TM2.
Example:
* CPU 0 and CPU 1 are hardware cooridnated.
* CPU 1 running at highest frequency.
* CPU 0 was running at highest freq. Now ondemand reduces it to
  some intermediate frequency based on utilization.
* Due to underlying hardware coordination with other CPU 1, CPU 0 continues to
  run at highest frequency (as long as other CPU is at highest).
* When ondemand samples CPU 0 again next time, without actual frequency
  feedback from APERF/MPERF, it will think that previous frequency change
  was successful and can go to wrong target frequency. This is because it
  thinks that utilization it has got this sampling interval is when running at
  intermediate frequency, rather than actual highest frequency.

dde9f7ba60 [CPUFREQ][3/8] acpi-cpufreq: Pull in MSR based transition support
Add in the support for Intel Enhanced Speedstep - MSR based transitions.
With this change, the ACPI based support in speedstep-centrino can be
deprecated and duplicate code in that driver can be marked for removal.
Much easier to maintain and support this way. This also reduces the
user misconfigurations and questions on which driver is to be used
under which CPUs to support Enhanced Speedstep.

Some clean up and redsign of the driver. Mainly making it easier to add
support for multiple sub-mechanisms of changing frequency. Currently this
driver supports only ACPI SYSTEM_IO address space. With the changes
below it is easier to add support for other address spaces like Intel
Enhanced Speedstep which uses MSR (ACPI FIXED_FEATURE_HARDWARE) to do the

519ce3ec76 [CPUFREQ][1/8] acpi-cpufreq: software coordination and handle all CPUs in the group
This patchset has refresh/rebase of a bunch of patches/bugfixes related to
acpi-cpufreq that were sent earlier on this list.

patch 1/8
 Patch that fixes a bug in swcoordination code in acpi-cpufreq

patch 2/8 through patch 7/8
 Grand unification of ACPI based speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq drivers.

 ACPI allows P-state transitions in multiple ways. Like using IO ports or using
 processor native method (MSR). Without this patch, IO port based P-state
 transitions are handled in acpi-cpufreq driver and MSR based transitions on
 Intel CPUs are handled in speedstep-centrino driver. Even though most of the
 code in these two drivers should be similar, except for final changing/checking
 of frequency (one driver does it using IO port and other does it through
 MSR), we have duplicated code in these two drivers. There are also issues
 around BIOSes supporting both MSR and IO port and which driver should be
 loaded first in standard installations.

 The patchset combines functionality of these two driver into acpi-cpufreq
 driver. ACPI based functionality in speedstep-centrino is marked deprecated
 and will be removed in future. speedstep-centrino will continue to work
 on systems that depend on older non-ACPI table based P-state chanes.

 * 2/8 - Patch that reorganizes the code in acpi-cpufreq, cleaning it up
 a little and making it easier to add MSR support later.
 * 3/8 - Pull in the MSR based transition support into acpi-cpufreq.
 * 4/8 - Mark speedstep-centrino deprecated. Change the order in Makefile to
 load acpi-cpufreq first and speedstep-centrino later, in cases where both
 are configured in.
 * 5/8 - lindent acpi-cpufreq.c
 * 6/8 - Minor change to eliminate the check of current frequency on
 notifications. We can use last set frequency instead.
 * 7/8 - Make cpufreq->get of acpi_cpufreq work correctly again.

 There will be a patch in future that removes ACPI based support in
 speedstep-centrino in coming months.

patch 8/8
Add support for IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR and get the actual frequency
from these MSRs and use it to determine the next frequency target in ondemand
governor

This patch:
There is a bug in software coordination patch in acpi-cpufreq, due to which
frequency will only be set on first CPU of any coordinated group.
Bug identified by Denis, was not recognised earlier as there are no platforms
yet that use software coordination with acpi-cpufreq driver.

281ea49b0c ACPI: SCI interrupt source override
The Linux group at Stratus Technologies has come across an issue with SCI
routing under ACPI.  We were bitten by this when we made an x86_64 platform
whose BIOS provides an Interrupt Source Override for the SCI itself.
Apparently the override has no effect for the System Control Interrupt, and
this appears to be because of the way the SCI is setup in the ACPI code.
It does not handle the case where busirq != gsi.

The code that sets up the SCI routing assumes that bus irq == global irq.
So there is simply no provision for telling it otherwise.  The attached
patch provides this mechanism.

This patch provided by David Bulkow, was tested on an i386 platform, which
does not use the SCI override, and also on an x86_64 platform which does
use an override.

991528d734 ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT
Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm

Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm

With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3).  We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.

One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, ..  states.

b611967de4 [PATCH] epoll_pwait()
Implement the epoll_pwait system call, that extend the event wait mechanism
with the same logic ppoll and pselect do.  The definition of epoll_pwait
is:

int epoll_pwait(int epfd, struct epoll_event *events, int maxevents,
                 int timeout, const sigset_t *sigmask, size_t sigsetsize);

The difference between the vanilla epoll_wait and epoll_pwait is that the
latter allows the caller to specify a signal mask to be set while waiting
for events.  Hence epoll_pwait will wait until either one monitored event,
or an unmasked signal happen.  If sigmask is NULL, the epoll_pwait system
call will act exactly like epoll_wait.  For the POSIX definition of
pselect, information is available here:

6391af174a [PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisation
Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns).  The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set.  As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.

The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing.  Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4).  It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64.  Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

3b7d1921f4 [PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch code
It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture
specific details of msi.  So I have moved the resposibility of constructing
the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific
functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq.

For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work.  For
architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate
platform code.

With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this
actually takes less code.

The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h
to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h

8b955b0ddd [PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt support
This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for
use by drivers.  Several other functions are implemented as helpers for
arch specific irq_chip handlers.

The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged.
However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other
places in the kernel.  Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19

Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be
generalized to work there.

I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a
chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less
interesting.

However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch
specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of
how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

create_irq is rewritten to first allocate a free irq and then to assign that
irq a vector.

assign_irq_vector is made static and the AUTO_ASSIGN case which allocates an
vector not bound to an irq is removed.

The ioapic vector methods are removed, and everything now works with irqs.

The definition of NR_IRQS no longer depends on CONFIG_PCI_MSI

2d3fcc1c54 [PATCH] genirq: i386 irq: Move msi message composition into io_apic.c
This removes the hardcoded assumption that irq == vector in the msi
composition code, and it allows the msi message composition to setup logical
mode, or lowest priorirty delivery mode as we do for other apic interrupts,
and with the same selection criteria.

Basically this moves the problem of what is in the msi message into the
architecture irq management code where it belongs.  Not in a generic layer
that doesn't have enough information to compose msi messages properly.

3fc471ede9 [PATCH] genirq: i386 irq: Dynamic irq support
The current implementation of create_irq() is a hack but it is the current
hack that msi.c uses, and unfortunately the ``generic'' apic msi ops depend on
this hack.  Thus we are stuck this hack of assuming irq == vector until the
depencencies in the generic msi code are removed.

92db6d10bc [PATCH] genirq: msi: simplify the msi irq limit policy
Currently we attempt to predict how many irqs we will be able to allocate with
msi using pci_vector_resources and some complicated accounting, and then we
only allow each device as many irqs as we think are available on average.

Only the s2io driver even takes advantage of this feature all other drivers
have a fixed number of irqs they need and bail if they can't get them.

pci_vector_resources is inaccurate if anyone ever frees an irq.  The whole
implmentation is racy.  The current irq limit policy does not appear to make
sense with current drivers.  So I have simplified things.  We can revisit this
we we need a more sophisticated policy.

8ccb3dcd1f x86: Fix booting with "no387 nofxsr"
Jesper Juhl reported that testing the software math-emulation by forcing
"no387" doesn't work on modern CPU's.

The reason was two-fold:
 - you also need to pass in "nofxsr" to make sure that we not only don't
   touch the old i387 legacy hardware, it also needs to disable the
   modern XMM/FXSR sequences
 - "nofxsr" didn't actually clear the capability bits immediately,
   leaving the early boot sequence still using FXSR until we got to
   the identify_cpu() stage.

This fixes the "nofxsr" flag to take effect immediately on the boot CPU.

_syscall3() to implement execve.

The implementation uses code from the _syscall3 macros provided in the

architectures, so the patch is untested with the exception of i386.

Most architectures can probably implement this in a nicer way in assembly or
by combining it with the sys_execve implementation itself, but this should do
it for now.

3a872d89ba [PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable
In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that:

o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe.
  The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an
  architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have
  to specify the ".symbols"
o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to
  specify an offset into a symbol.
o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported.
  However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified,
  probe registration fails with an -EINVAL.
o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So
  CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS
o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of
  the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution
  happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig
o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it
  work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't
  work, say, on powerpc)

23002d88be [PATCH] paravirt: kpte flush
Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the
subsequent flush.  This allows the two to be easily combined into a single
hypercall or paravirt-op.  More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for
kmap_atomic.  Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing
a mapping.  This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries
which may still have valid TLB mappings.  This is required for direct mode
hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when
changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page
table or descriptor table page).  But it also provides some nicer semantics
for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale
mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the
cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when
two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

dc2bc768a0 [PATCH] stack overflow safe kdump: safe_smp_processor_id()
This is a the first of a series of patch-sets aiming at making kdump more
robust against stack overflows.

This patch set does the following:

* Add safe_smp_processor_id function to i386 architecture (this function was
  inspired by the x86_64 function of the same name).

* Substitute "smp_processor_id" with the stack overflow-safe
  "safe_smp_processor_id" in the reboot path to the second kernel.

This patch:

On the event of a stack overflow critical data that usually resides at the
bottom of the stack is likely to be stomped and, consequently, its use should
be avoided.

In particular, in the i386 and IA64 architectures the macro smp_processor_id
ultimately makes use of the "cpu" member of struct thread_info which resides
at the bottom of the stack.  x86_64, on the other hand, is not affected by
this problem because it benefits from the use of the PDA infrastructure.

To circumvent this problem I suggest implementing "safe_smp_processor_id()"
(it already exists in x86_64) for i386 and IA64 and use it as a replacement
for smp_processor_id in the reboot path to the dump capture kernel.  This is a

8ef386092d [PATCH] kill wall_jiffies
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies.
So we can kill wall_jiffies completely.

This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior
except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a
condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1".  This condition is never met so I
suppose it is just a bug.  I just remove that condition only instead of
kill the whole "if" block.

f400e198b2 [PATCH] pidspace: is_init()
This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280).  It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().

Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.

Eric's original description:

	There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
	because we give it special properties.  Most  significantly init
	must not die.  This results in code all over the kernel test
	->pid == 1.

	Introduce is_init to capture this case.

	With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
	looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
	process that has pid == 1.

df67b3daea [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ
Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.

While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach.  For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:

"
        if (cause < 0) {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else if (!cause) {
                /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
                        goto bad_area;
        } else {
                if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
                        goto bad_area;
        }
"

Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest.  I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.

Additional discussion:

Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write.  Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.

Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV.  That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c.  However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write.  Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed.  It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address.  Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV.  Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.

According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.

The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations.  This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable.  If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

3b08606dc2 [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node calls
Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
provided by the SRAT.  It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
and was seen as an acceptable fix.  The current way of obtaining the nodeid

 static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
 {
   return logical_apicid >> 5;
 }

is just not correct for all summit systems/bios.  Assuming the apicid
matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
out the apicids a set way.  Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.

The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
table during boot.  It lays out what apicid belongs to what node.  I use
this information to create a table for use at run time.

Tools can use the attribute do validation or show CPU ucode status.  one is
'reload' which allows manually reloading ucode.  Another is
'processor_flags', which exports processor flags, so we can write tools to
check if CPU has latest ucode.  Also add suspend/resume and CPU hotplug

split ucode file as small one.  This has a lot of advantages such as
selectively update and validate microcode for specific models, better
manage microcode file, easily write tools for administerators and so on.
with the changes, we should put all intel-ucode/xx-xx-xx microcode files
into the firmware dir (I had a tool to split previous big data file into
small one and later we will release new style data file).  The init script
should be changed to just loading the driver without unloading

753b9f86e7 [PATCH] x86: enable VMSPLIT for highmem kernels
The current VMSPLIT Kconfig option is disabled whenever highmem is on.
This is a bit screwy because the people who need to change VMSPLIT the most
tend to be the ones with highmem and constrained lowmem.

So, remove the highmem dependency.  But, re-include the dependency for the
"full 1GB of lowmem" option.  You can't have the full 1GB of lowmem and
highmem because of the need for the vmalloc(), kmap(), etc...  areas.

I thought there would be at least a bit of tweaking to do to
get it to work, but everything seems OK.

9c9b8b3882 [PATCH] x86: put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment in vmlinux
This patch will pack any .note.* section 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.

This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for
other architectures will be as simple.

This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros
for actually creating ELF notes.

776ed98b84 [PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: remove two strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONES
I keep seeing zones on various platforms that are never used and wonder why we
compile support for them into the kernel.  Counters show up for HIGHMEM and
DMA32 that are alway zero.

This patch allows the removal of ZONE_DMA32 for non x86_64 architectures and
it will get rid of ZONE_HIGHMEM for arches not using highmem (like 64 bit
architectures).  If an arch does not define CONFIG_HIGHMEM then ZONE_HIGHMEM
will not be defined.  Similarly if an arch does not define CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32
then ZONE_DMA32 will not be defined.

No current architecture uses all the 4 zones (DMA,DMA32,NORMAL,HIGH) that we
have now.  The patchset will reduce the number of zones for all platforms.

On many platforms that do not have DMA32 or HIGHMEM this will reduce the
number of zones by 50%.  F.e.  ia64 only uses DMA and NORMAL.

Large amounts of memory can be saved for larger systemss that may have a few
hundred NUMA nodes.

With ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_HIGHMEM support optional MAX_NR_ZONES will be 2 for
many non i386 platforms and even for i386 without CONFIG_HIGHMEM set.

Tested on ia64, x86_64 and on i386 with and without highmem.

The patchset consists of 11 patches that are following this message.

One could go even further than this patchset and also make ZONE_DMA optional
because some platforms do not need a separate DMA zone and can do DMA to all
of memory.  This could reduce MAX_NR_ZONES to 1.  Such a patchset will
hopefully follow soon.

This patch:

Fix strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONES

Sometimes we use MAX_NR_ZONES - x to refer to a zone.  Make that explicit.

9102330005 [PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmem
Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa
system.  Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory
by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating
space for the kva).  The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into
this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside
max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable
memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :(

My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the
bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low
memory).  Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse
addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be
mapped below the initrd if present.

I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa
based systems.

This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.

adf1423698 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinder
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

than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace.  I also used

And:

Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:

a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro.  (Code was comparing a value to a mask
   in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them.

current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.

The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.

The EDD code would scan the command line as a fixed array, without

d28c4393a7 [PATCH] x86: error_code is not safe for kprobes
This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
that must be marked unsafe as well.
This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
for kprobes section.

AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.

+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>

KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
do a .previous at the end of the function.

Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
into .fixup.  Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup).  It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.

The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly.  A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.

+From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>

Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.

Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390).  The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.

This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:

1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/

2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning.  When someone
   actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
   early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]

3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h

4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).

5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
   except one where it has subtle humor value.

3cfc348bf9 [PATCH] x86: Add portable getcpu call
For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.

x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.

I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.

The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time.  The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow

The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable

I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.

It turns nasty hangs into easier to debug oopses.

Enable the local APIC wdog by default for systems newer than 2004.

This comes from a strange compromise: according to arjan the reason
it was off by default was some old IBM systems that corrupted
registered when NMI happened in SMI. Can't remember more specific,
but >= 2004 should avoid these. It's probably overly broad
because most older systems should be ok (and the really old systems
won't be supported by the local apic watchdog anyways)

After a crash we should wait for NMI IPI event and not for external NMI or
NMI watchdog tick.

4038f901cf [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix NMI watchdog suspend/resume
Making NMI suspend/resume work with SMP. We use CPU hotplug to offline
APs in SMP suspend/resume. Only BSP executes sysdev's .suspend/.resume
method. APs should follow CPU hotplug code path.

And:

+From: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com>

Makes the start/stop paths of nmi watchdog more robust to handle the
suspend/resume cases more gracefully.

AK: I merged the two patches together

c41c5cd3b2 [PATCH] x86: x86 clean up nmi panic messages
Clean up some of the output messages on the nmi error paths to make more
sense when they are displayed.  This is mainly a cosmetic fix and
shouldn't impact any normal code path.

8da5adda91 [PATCH] x86: Allow users to force a panic on NMI
To quote Alan Cox:

The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.

A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.

This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

e33e89ab1a [PATCH] x86: Add abilty to enable/disable nmi watchdog from procfs (update)
Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog call that will enable/disable the
nmi watchdog.

By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to
monitor the online cpus in the system.  By entering a zero value here, a
user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which
could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be
short a counter when in use.
