2006-09-01[PATCH] Fix faulty HPET clocksource usage (fix for bug #7062)john stultz
Apparently some systems export valid HPET addresses, but hpet_enable() fails. Then when the HPET clocksource starts up, it only checks for a valid HPET address, and the result is a system where time does not advance. See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7062 for details. This patch just makes sure we better check that the HPET is functional before registering the HPET clocksource.

As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG.

2006-08-30[PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proofJan Beulich
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once serving as a separator) of this. Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but this could certainly be further improved. Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

2006-08-30[PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristicsAndi Kleen
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work. After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again. It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much problems there because old style port access for PCI config space still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more important. Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

2006-08-26[PATCH] PCI: use PCBIOS as last fallbackDaniel Ritz
there was a change in 2.6.17 which affected the order in which the PCI access methods are probed. this gives regressions on some machines with broken BIOS. the problem is that PCBIOS sometimes reports last bus wrong, leaving cardbus non-funcational. previously those system worked fine with direct access. The patch changes the PCI init code to have PCBIOS as last fallback, yet the PCBIOS code still has to run first to set pcibios_last_bus to the value reported by the BIOS. this is needed in case legacy PCI probing (arch/i386/pci/legacy.c) is used to detect peer busses. using direct access if available fixes the cardbus problems.

2006-07-31[CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Workaround issues with APIC.Rafa³ Bilski
There is no need to worry about local APIC. There is need to worry about I/O APIC, because I/O APIC is replacing good old 8259. According to Nehemiah datasheet VIA is using 3-wire bus to connect local APIC to I/O APIC. "[...] When IA32_APIC_BASE[11] is set to 0, processor APICs based on the 3-wire APIC bus cannot be generally re-enabled until a system hardware reset. The 3-wire bus looses track of arbitration that would be necessary for complete re-enabling. Certain (local) APIC functionality can be enabled. [...]" So we must set disable bit for each interrupt in I/O APIC registers. Same situation as for PIC - we must poke registers direcly. How to do this? I don't know.

2006-07-31[PATCH] vDSO hash-style fixRoland McGrath
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and dynamically-linked executables. The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces ".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the dynamic linker. The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both. In some new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash". The new ".gnu.hash" sections need to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the dynamic linker cares about their contents. To work with older dynamic linkers (i.e. preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old ".hash" section. The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can still handle. The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO images for the kernel. On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed. This patch addresses the problem in two ways. First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash". This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools), with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both. Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced. This is the most conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland. There is some concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries. The optimizations provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has. If someone wants to use =gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will make any choice work fine.

2006-07-31[PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()Horms
This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across all architectures that implement it. It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at all. This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message accordinly. I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is too long, feedback welcome. For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour. Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is already not present.

2006-07-03[PATCH] Fix modular cpuid.koOGAWA Hirofumi
With recent change, if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is disabled, register_cpu_notifier() is not exported. And it breaked moduler msr/cpuid (msr.c was already fixed). We need to use register_hotcpu_notifier() now in module, instead of register_cpu_notifier().
