2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: update IO-APIC dest field to 8-bit for xAPICBenjamin Romer
On the Unisys ES7000/ONE system, we encountered a problem where performing a kexec reboot or dump on any cell other than cell 0 causes the system timer to stop working, resulting in a hang during timer calibration in the new kernel. We traced the problem to one line of code in disable_IO_APIC(), which needs to restore the timer's IO-APIC configuration before rebooting. The code is currently using the 4-bit physical destination field, rather than using the 8-bit logical destination field, and it cuts off the upper 4 bits of the timer's APIC ID. If we change this to use the logical destination field, the timer works and we can kexec on the upper cells. This was tested on two different cells (0 and 2) in an ES7000/ONE system. For reference, the relevant Intel xAPIC spec is kept at ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8501/datashts/30962001.pdf, specifically on page 334.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi()Ingo Molnar
During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about 10%-20% of the time in acpi_init(): Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f() Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c() Calling initcall 0xc05664f3: param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x175() Calling initcall 0xc014cb65: pm_sysrq_init+0x0/0x17() Calling initcall 0xc0569f99: init_bio+0x0/0xf4() Calling initcall 0xc056b865: genhd_device_init+0x0/0x50() Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87() Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee() It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through! Frustratingly, adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away ... After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog made these occasional hangs go away. So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method doing stores to chipset mmio registers?) Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted by this problem. As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt hang). I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds and works with the patch applied.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detectedAndi Kleen
When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space to react to such events sooner. The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between all CPUs. I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine check polling code immediately to actually log any events that might have caused the threshold interrupt. Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: Fix fake numa for x86_64 machines with big IO holeRohit Seth
This patch resolves the issue of running with numa=fake=X on kernel command line on x86_64 machines that have big IO hole. While calculating the size of each node now we look at the total hole size in that range. Previously there were nodes that only had IO holes in them causing kernel boot problems. We now use the NODE_MIN_SIZE (64MB) as the minimum size of memory that any node must have. We reduce the number of allocated nodes if the number of nodes specified on kernel command line results in any node getting memory smaller than NODE_MIN_SIZE. This change allows the extra memory to be incremented in NODE_MIN_SIZE granule and uniformly distribute among as many nodes (called big nodes) as possible.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686Ingo Molnar
Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz. This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all hardware. (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy of jitter.) Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed. This makes the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly flag.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: add idle notifierStephane Eranian
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call, or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not considered part of the low level loop. The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off monitoring.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: Profile pc badnessZachary Amsden
Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing bad logic to read a random value off the stack. The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS value. We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS. I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: vMI timer patchesZachary Amsden
VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: paravirt CPU hypercall batching modeZachary Amsden
The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided. The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch multicall. To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time. Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated need for this extra complexity.

2007-02-13[PATCH] MM: page allocation hooks for VMI backendZachary Amsden
The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to correctly copy the shadow. We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which makes shadowing them rather simple. For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page, and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool. Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or released.

ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK is used by x86_64 arch . This arch needs to place a read only copy of xtime_lock into vsyscall page. This read only copy is named __xtime_lock, and xtime_lock is defined in arch/x86_64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S as an alias. So the declaration of xtime_lock in kernel/timer.c was guarded by ARCH_HAVE_XTIME_LOCK define, defined to true on x86_64.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is). On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable. Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much. This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to match the changed struct pt_regs.

2007-02-12NFS: disconnect before retrying NFSv4 requests over TCPChuck Lever
RFC3530 section 3.1.1 states an NFSv4 client MUST NOT send a request twice on the same connection unless it is the NULL procedure. Section 3.1.1 suggests that the client should disconnect and reconnect if it wants to retry a request. Implement this by adding an rpc_clnt flag that an ULP can use to specify that the underlying transport should be disconnected on a major timeout. The NFSv4 client asserts this new flag, and requests no retries after a minor retransmit timeout. Note that disconnecting on a retransmit is in general not safe to do if the RPC client does not reuse the TCP port number when reconnecting.

Add the PS3 Virtual Frame Buffer Driver. As the actual graphics hardware cannot be accessed directly by Linux, ps3fb uses a virtual frame buffer in main memory. The actual screen image is copied to graphics memory by the GPU on every vertical blank, by making a hypervisor call.

2007-02-12[PATCH] ps3: Preallocate bootmem memory for ps3fbGeert Uytterhoeven
Preallocate bootmem memory for the PS3 frame buffer device, which needs a large block of physically-contiguous memory. The size of this memory block is configurable: - The config option CONFIG_FB_PS3_DEFAULT_SIZE_M allows to specify the default amount of memory (in MiB) allocated to the virtual frame buffer. - The early boot parameter `ps3fb=xxx' allows to override the default value. It will be rounded up to a multiple of 1 MiB, if needed.

2007-02-12[PATCH] Video: fb, add true ref_count atomicityJiri Slaby
Some of fb drivers uses atomic_t in bad manner, since there are still some race-prone gaps. Use mutexes to protect open/close code sections with ref_count testing and finally use simple uint.
