2009-02-26x86: enable DMAR by defaultKyle McMartin
Now that the obvious bugs have been worked out, specifically the iwlagn issue, and the write buffer errata, DMAR should be safe to turn back on by default. (We've had it on since those patches were first written a few weeks ago, without any noticeable bug reports (most have been due to the dma-api debug patchset.))

2009-02-05x86: disable intel_iommu support by defaultKyle McMartin
Due to recurring issues with DMAR support on certain platforms. There's a number of filesystem corruption incidents reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479996 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12578 Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by default. If disabled, it can still be reenabled by passing intel_iommu=on to the kernel. Keep the .config option off by default.

2009-01-07x86: offer frame pointers in all build modesIngo Molnar
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS=y results in much better debug info for the kernel (clear and precise backtraces), with the only drawback being a ~1% increase in kernel size. So offer it unconditionally and enable it by default. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-08sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changesYinghai Lu
Impact: new feature Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case. To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of irq_desc pointers. When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc, this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls request_irq()). This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

2008-12-02tracing/function-graph-tracer: support for x86-64Frederic Weisbecker
Impact: extend and enable the function graph tracer to 64-bit x86 This patch implements the support for function graph tracer under x86-64. Both static and dynamic tracing are supported. This causes some small CPP conditional asm on arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c I wanted to use probe_kernel_read/write to make the return address saving/patching code more generic but it causes tracing recursion. That would be perhaps useful to implement a notrace version of these function for other archs ports. Note that arch/x86/process_64.c is not traced, as in X86-32. I first thought __switch_to() was responsible of crashes during tracing because I believed current task were changed inside but that's actually not the case (actually yes, but not the "current" pointer). So I will have to investigate to find the functions that harm here, to enable tracing of the other functions inside (but there is no issue at this time, while process_64.c stays out of -pg flags). A little possible race condition is fixed inside this patch too. When the tracer allocate a return stack dynamically, the current depth is not initialized before but after. An interrupt could occur at this time and, after seeing that the return stack is allocated, the tracer could try to trace it with a random uninitialized depth. It's a prevention, even if I hadn't problems with it.
