2007-02-16[PATCH] i386 prepare nmi watchdog for dynticksThomas Gleixner
The NMI watchdog implementation assumes that the local APIC timer interrupt is happening. This assumption is not longer true when high resolution timers and dynamic ticks come into play, as they may switch off the local APIC timer completely. Take the PIT/HPET interrupts into account too, to avoid false positives.

2007-02-16[PATCH] i386 rework local apic timer calibrationThomas Gleixner
The local apic timer calibration has two problem cases: 1. The calibration is based on readout of the PIT/HPET timer to detect the wrap of the periodic tick. It happens that a box gets stuck in the calibration loop due to a PIT with a broken readout function. 2. CoreDuo boxen show a sporadic PIT runs too slow defect, which results in a wrong lapic calibration. The PIT goes back to normal operation once the lapic timer is switched to periodic mode. Both are existing and unfixed problems in the current upstream kernel and prevent certain laptops and other systems from booting Linux. Rework the code to address both problems: - Make the calibration interrupt driven. This removes the wait_timer_tick magic hackery from lapic.c and time_hpet.c. The clockevents framework allows easy substitution of the global tick event handler for the calibration. This is more accurate than monitoring jiffies. At this point of the boot process, nothing disturbes the interrupt delivery, so the results are very accurate. - Verify the calibration against the PM timer, when available by using the early access function. When the measured calibration period is outside of an one percent window, then the lapic timer calibration is adjusted to the pm timer result. - Verify the calibration by running the lapic timer with the calibration handler. Disable lapic timer in case of deviation. This also removes the "synchronization" of the local apic timer to the global tick. This synchronization never worked, as there is no way to synchronize PIT(HPET) and local APIC timer. The synchronization by waiting for the tick just alignes the local APIC timer for the first events, but later the events drift away due to the different clocks. Removing the "sync" is just randomizing the asynchronous behaviour at setup time.

2007-02-16[PATCH] clockevents: i386 driversThomas Gleixner
Add clockevent drivers for i386: lapic (local) and PIT/HPET (global). Update the timer IRQ to call into the PIT/HPET driver's event handler and the lapic-timer IRQ to call into the lapic clockevent driver. The assignement of timer functionality is delegated to the core framework code and replaces the compile and runtime evalution in do_timer_interrupt_hook() Use the clockevents broadcast support and implement the lapic_broadcast function for ACPI. No changes to existing functionality.

2007-02-16[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliableMarcelo Tosatti
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.

2007-02-16[PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync codeIngo Molnar
make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and i386. The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems. The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned off. The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

2007-02-16[PATCH] uml: fix 2.6.20 hangJeff Dike
A previous cleanup misused need_poll, which had a fairly broken interface. It implemented a growable array, changing the used elements count itself, but leaving it up to the caller to fill in the actual elements, including the entire array if the array had to be reallocated. This worked because the previous users were switching between two such structures, and the elements were copied from the inactive array to the active array after making sure the active array had enough room. maybe_sigio_broken was made to use need_poll, but it was operating on a single array, so when the buffer was reallocated, the previous contents were lost. This patch makes need_poll implement more sane semantics. It merely assures that the array is of the proper size and that the contents are preserved. It is up to the caller to adjust the used elements count and to ensure that the proper elements are resent. This manifested itself as a hang in 2.6.20 as the uninitialized buffer convinced UML that one of its own file descriptors didn't support SIGIO and needed to be watched by poll in a separate thread. The result was an interrupt flood as control traffic over this descriptor sparked interrupts, which resulted in more control traffic, ad nauseum.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/sh64/kernel/traps.c and remove ABI breakageEric W. Biederman
While doing the C99 conversion I notices that the top level sh64 directory was using the binary number for CTL_KERN. That is a no-no so I removed the support for the sysctl binary interface only leaving sysctl /proc support. At least the sysctl tables were placed at the end of the list so user space did not see this mistake. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/mips/lasat/sysctl.c and remove ABI breakageEric W. Biederman
While C99 converting the ctl_table initializers I realized that the binary sysctl numbers were in conflict with the binary values under CTL_KERN. Including CTL_KERN KERN_VERSION as used by glibc. So I just removed the sysctl binary interface for these values, as it was unsupportable. Luckily these sysctl were inserted at the end of the sysctl list so this bug was not visible to userspace.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: C99 convert arch/ia64/kernel/perfmon and remove ABI breakageEric W. Biederman
This convters the sysctl ctl_tables to use C99 initializers. While I was looking at it I discovered it was using a portion of the sysctl binary addresses space under CTL_KERN KERN_OSTYPE which was completely inappropriate. So I completely removed all of the sysctl binary names, to remove and avoid the ABI conflict. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: sn: remove sysctl ABI BREAKAGEEric W. Biederman
By not using the enumeration in sysctl.h (or even understanding it) the SN platform placed their arch specific xpc directory on top of CTL_KERN and only because they didn't have 4 entries in their xpc directory got lucky and didn't break glibc. This is totally irresponsible. So this patch entirely removes sys_sysctl support from their sysctl code. Hopefully they don't have ascii name conflicts as well. And now that they have no ABI numbers add them to the end instead of the sysctl list instead of the head so nothing else will be overridden. Cc: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
