2010-12-16lguest: populate initial_page_tableRusty Russell
Two x86 patches broke lguest: 1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator. In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory: Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000 After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000 I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then... 2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table. This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that fixes the previous damage as well. For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but next merge window I will merge them.

2010-12-15x86, of: Define irq functions to allow drivers/of/* to build on x86Andres Salomon
- Define a stub irq_create_of_mapping for x86 as a stop-gap solution until drivers/of/irq is further along. - Define irq_dispose_mapping for x86 to appease of_i2c.c These are needed to allow stuff in drivers/of/ to build on x86. This stuff will eventually get replaced; quoting Grant, "The long term plan is to have the drivers/of/ code handling the mapping intelligently like powerpc currently does." But for now, just provide these functions. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon <dilinger@queued.net> LKML-Reference: <20101111214526.5de7121b@queued.net> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com>
2010-12-13x86: Enable the intr-remap fault handling after local APIC setupKenji Kaneshige
Interrupt-remapping gets enabled very early in the boot, as it determines the apic mode that the processor can use. And the current code enables the vt-d fault handling before the setup_local_APIC(). And hence the APIC LDR registers and data structure in the memory may not be initialized. So the vt-d fault handling in logical xapic/x2apic modes were broken. Fix this by enabling the vt-d fault handling in the end_local_APIC_setup() A cleaner fix of enabling fault handling while enabling intr-remapping will be addressed for v2.6.38. [ Enabling intr-remapping determines the usage of x2apic mode and the apic mode determines the fault-handling configuration. ] Signed-off-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@jp.fujitsu.com> LKML-Reference: <20101201062244.541996375@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org [v2.6.32+] Acked-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: H.

2010-12-13x86, suspend: Avoid unnecessary smp alternatives switch during suspend/resumeSuresh Siddha
During suspend, we disable all the non boot cpus. And during resume we bring them all back again. So no need to do alternatives_smp_switch() in between. On my core 2 based laptop, this speeds up the suspend path by 15msec and the resume path by 5 msec (suspend/resume speed up differences can be attributed to the different P-states that the cpu is in during suspend/resume).

2010-12-13x86, xsave: Use alloc_bootmem_align() instead of alloc_bootmem()Suresh Siddha
Alignment of alloc_bootmem() depends on the value of L1_CACHE_SHIFT. What we need here, however, is 64 byte alignment. Use alloc_bootmem_align() and explicitly specify the alignment instead. This fixes a kernel boot crash reported by Jody when the cpu in .config is set to MPENTIUMII but the kernel is booted on a xsave-capable CPU.

2010-12-13x86: HPET: Chose a paranoid safe value for the ETIME checkThomas Gleixner
commit 995bd3bb5 (x86: Hpet: Avoid the comparator readback penalty) chose 8 HPET cycles as a safe value for the ETIME check, as we had the confirmation that the posted write to the comparator register is delayed by two HPET clock cycles on Intel chipsets which showed readback problems. After that patch hit mainline we got reports from machines with newer AMD chipsets which seem to have an even longer delay. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1054283 and http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1069458 for further information. Boris tried to come up with an ACPI based selection of the minimum HPET cycles, but this failed on a couple of test machines. And of course we did not get any useful information from the hardware folks. For now our only option is to chose a paranoid high and safe value for the minimum HPET cycles used by the ETIME check. Adjust the minimum ns value for the HPET clockevent accordingly.

2010-12-10x86: apic: Cleanup and simplify setup_local_APIC()Tejun Heo
setup_local_APIC() is used to setup local APIC early during CPU initialization and already assumes that preemption is disabled on entry. However, The function unnecessarily disables and enables preemption and uses smp_processor_id() multiple times in and out of the nested preemption disabled section. This gives the wrong impression that the function might be able to handle being called with preemption enabled and/or migrated to another processor in the middle. Make it clear that the function is always called with preemption disabled, drop the confusing preemption disable block and call smp_processor_id() once at the beginning of the function.

2010-12-02x86: Improve TSC calibration using a delayed workqueueJohn Stultz
Boot to boot the TSC calibration may vary by quite a large amount. While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit of what NTP can correct for. This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as every time they reboot it can take hours for them to calculate the new drift error caused by the calibration. The classic trade-off here is calibration accuracy vs slow boot times, as during the calibration nothing else can run. This patch uses a delayed workqueue to calibrate the TSC over the period of a second. This allows very accurate calibration (in my tests only varying by 1khz or 0.4ppm boot to boot). Additionally this refined calibration step does not block the boot process, and only delays the TSC clocksoure registration by a few seconds in early boot. If the refined calibration strays 1% from the early boot calibration value, the system will fall back to already calculated early boot calibration. Credit to Andi Kleen who suggested using a timer quite awhile back, but I dismissed it thinking the timer calibration would be done after the clocksource was registered (which would break things). Forgive me for my short-sightedness. This patch has worked very well in my testing, but TSC hardware is quite varied so it would probably be good to get some extended testing, possibly pushing inclusion out to 2.6.39.

2010-11-28x86/pvclock: Zero last_value on resumeJeremy Fitzhardinge
If the guest domain has been suspend/resumed or migrated, then the system clock backing the pvclock clocksource may revert to a smaller value (ie, can be non-monotonic across the migration/save-restore). Make sure we zero last_value in that case so that the domain continues to see clock updates.

2010-11-26perf, arch: Cleanup perf-pmu init vs lockup-detectorPeter Zijlstra
The perf hardware pmu got initialized at various points in the boot, some before early_initcall() some after (notably arch_initcall). The problem is that the NMI lockup detector is ran from early_initcall() and expects the hardware pmu to be present. Sanitize this by moving all architecture hardware pmu implementations to initialize at early_initcall() and move the lockup detector to an explicit initcall right after that.

2010-11-26x86, perf, nmi: Disable perf if counters are not accessibleDon Zickus
In a kvm virt guests, the perf counters are not emulated. Instead they return zero on a rdmsrl. The perf nmi handler uses the fact that crossing a zero means the counter overflowed (for those counters that do not have specific interrupt bits). Therefore on kvm guests, perf will swallow all NMIs thinking the counters overflowed. This causes problems for subsystems like kgdb which needs NMIs to do its magic. This problem was discovered by running kgdb tests. The solution is to write garbage into a perf counter during the initialization and hopefully reading back the same number. On kvm guests, the value will be read back as zero and we disable perf as a result.

Adaptions to the changes of the AMD northbridge caching code: instead of a bool in each l3 struct, use a flag in amd_northbridges.flags to indicate L3 cache index disable support; use a pointer to the whole northbridge instead of the misc device in the l3 struct; simplify the initialisation; dynamically generate sysfs attribute array.
