Ingo Molnar c0cdf1935c [PATCH] x86: print out early faults via early_printk()
Lost a few hours debugging an early-bootup fault within printk itself,
which manifested itself as a hard to debug early hang.

This patch makes it much easier by printing out early faults via
early_printk(), which function is a lot simpler than a full printk, and
hence more likely to succeed in emergencies.  (We do not recover from early
faults anyway, so there's no loss from not having these messages in the
normal printk buffer.)

Ulrich Drepper cff2b76009 [PATCH] fstatat64 support
The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline.  The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.

This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined.  I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear.  Other archs will continue to use the existing code.  On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.  this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.

This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall).  Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.  I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected).  It should be done by the arch
maintainers.  I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly.  Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).

The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

Andrew Morton 7a8ef1cb77 [PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all ones
Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that

a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
   than over possible ones.  That can be quite expensive.

b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs.  So with
   CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case.  Should be OK..

I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL.  Suggest that it stop doing
that.

Chuck Ebbert fe38d8553c [PATCH] i386 cpu hotplug: don't access freed memory
i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug.  The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.

Fix that by:

        1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
        2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
        3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
           to a safe default when the vendor is not found.

This does not change behavior for AMD systems.  They were broken already
but no error was reported.

Eric Dumazet 88a2a4ac6b [PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUs
percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.

As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().

(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h.  powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).

Tong Li 23332c2e9d [PATCH] OProfile: fixed x86_64 incorrect kernel call graphs
Fix the problem in kernel 2.6.15.1 (and early versions) that OProfile on
x86_64 does not correctly collect the stack traces for kernel functions.

The original code in valid_kernel_stack() in arch/i386/oprofile/backtrace.c
assumes that the frame pointer (headaddr) should be greater than stack
(i.e., regs).

This assumption is wrong for x86_64 because NMIs in x86_64 use a seperate
stack different from the kernel stack.  Therefore, the variable stack now
points to some location on the NMI stack, which turns out to be at a higher
address than the frame pointer (headaddr) on the kernel stack.  The correct
comparison here should be between headaddr and regs->rsp for x86_64.

Mark Lord 975b3d3d5b [PATCH] VMSPLIT config options
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an
optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non
HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB.

There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB
of physical RAM.

This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary
HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such
machines.  The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for
userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may
misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel
image.

et al.

Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are
synchronized.  Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are
synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears
that a number of lost ticks have occurred.  This can cause premature expiry
of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire.

This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366

This is a subset of the bluesmoke project core code, stripped of the NMI work
which isn't ready to merge and some of the "interesting" proc functionality
that needs reworking or just has no place in kernel.  It requires no core

The goal is to merge further functionality only after the core code is
accepted and proven in the base kernel, and only at the point the upstream
extras are really ready to merge.

From: doug thompson <norsk5@xmission.com>

  This converts EDAC to sysfs and is the final chunk neccessary before EDAC
  has a stable user space API and can be considered for submission into the

David Howells 283828f3c1 [PATCH] Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386
Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled:

        [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc
        [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend

It does the following:

 (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386.

 (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set.

 (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved
     in current->saved_sigmask.

 (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead.

 (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK
     rather than attempting to fudge the return registers.

 (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping
     intrinsically.

 (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or
     -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the
     kernel.

Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place:

 (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being
     ignored; force_sig() takes care of this.

 (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer
     necessary.

(10) Makes do_signal() static.

(11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused
     argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as
     registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S

Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(),
they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take
arguments normally.

This patch depends on sys_rt_sigsuspend patch.

Ingo Molnar 9ab34fe761 [PATCH] enable unit-at-a-time optimisations for gcc4
Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time.

This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation
decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions.  One
of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only
once now get inlined.

gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining
and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and
unacceptable stack use.  This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series.  The
x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

David Vrabel a80da73898 [PATCH] gx1fb: (try to) play nicer with various BIOSes
Seems that the CS5530A chip used in Geode GX1 systems has some crazy feature
that causes SMI traps when accessing the PCI configuration space of the video
device.  Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs
of the device.  This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so
that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by
the BIOS.

This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have
different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs
mean.

I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular
VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage
there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

Randy Dunlap ce63ad78b5 [PATCH] i386: put HOTPLUG_CPU under Processor type, not Bus options
Move the HOTPLUG_CPU option under "Processor type" instead of under "Bus
options".  This makes it the same for i386 as most other processor types
(arm, ia64, parisc, ppc, s390, & x86_64; but not for powerpc).  Besides, it
takes me too long to find it under Bus options.  I can't be the only person
who has trouble finding it.

akpm@osdl.org 198e2f1811 [PATCH] scheduler cache-hot-autodetect
)

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch.

The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is
unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this:

- I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache
  measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means
  that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT
  distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks
  the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows
  whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot
  time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption
  is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain
  distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems,
  and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems.

  [ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this
    assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with
    the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to
    the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first
    see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ]

Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring
the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable
up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with
L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often
have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem:

- Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and
  sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration
  cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of
  cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which
  occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the
  'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for
  the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs.

  This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two
  CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost
  will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share
  any caches.

(The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source
for details.)

Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune
migration behavior.

Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection:

	migration_cost=1000,2000,3000

will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values.

Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or
decrease) the autodetected values:

	migration_factor=120

will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to
tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is
cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying
migration_factor=0.

I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3
P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good:

Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache):

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]
 [00]:     -     1.7(1)
 [01]:   1.7(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008)
 ---------------------

Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even
though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs.

Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache):

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]    [02]    [03]
 [00]:     -     0.4(1)  0.0(0)  0.4(1)
 [01]:   0.4(1)    -     0.4(1)  0.0(0)
 [02]:   0.0(0)  0.4(1)    -     0.4(1)
 [03]:   0.4(1)  0.0(0)  0.4(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514)
 ---------------------

Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT
siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory
system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs.

8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]:

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 2097152, cpu: 700 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]    [02]    [03]    [04]    [05]    [06]    [07]

 [06]:  19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)    -    19.2(1)
 [07]:  19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756)
 ---------------------

This one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the
migration cost is 19 msecs.

Eric W. Biederman 1008fddcae [PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots.
Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

  A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
  connected.  Now counter i has been replaced by apic.  counter i is having
  some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
  IOAPIC.

Whenever we see that a CPU is capable of C3 (during ACPI cstate init), we
disable local APIC timer and switch to using a broadcast from external timer
interrupt (IRQ 0). This is needed because Intel CPUs stop the local
APIC timer in C3.  This is currently only enabled for Intel CPUs.

Patch below adds the code for i386 and also the ACPI hunk.

Remove the finer control of local APIC timer. We cannot provide a sub-jiffy
control like this when we use broadcast from external timer in place of
local APIC. Instead of removing this only on systems that may end up using
broadcast from external timer (due to C3), I am going the
"I'm feeling lucky" way to remove this fully. Basically, I am not sure about
usefulness of this code today. Few other architectures also don't seem to
support this today.

If you are using profiling and fine grained control and don't like this going
away in normal case, yell at me right now.
