i386: Fix a couple busy loops in mach_wakecpu.h:wait_for_init_deassert()

2007-08-18T16:54:44Z

Use cpu_relax() in the busy loops, as atomic_read() doesn't automatically imply volatility for i386 and x86_64. x86_64 doesn't have this issue because it open-codes the while loop in smpboot.c:smp_callin() itself that already uses cpu_relax(). For i386, however, smpboot.c:smp_callin() calls wait_for_init_deassert() which is buggy for mach-default and mach-es7000 cases. [ I test-built a kernel -- smp_callin() itself got inlined in its only callsite, smpboot.c:start_secondary() -- and the relevant piece of code disassembles to the following: 0xc1019704 : mov 0xc144c4c8,%eax 0xc1019709 : test %eax,%eax 0xc101970b : je 0xc1019709 init_deasserted (at 0xc144c4c8) gets fetched into %eax only once and then we loop over the test of the stale value in the register only, so these look like real bugs to me. With the fix below, this becomes: 0xc1019706 : pause 0xc1019708 : cmpl $0x0,0xc144c4c8 0xc101970f : je 0xc1019706 which looks nice and healthy. ] Thanks to Heiko Carstens for noticing this.

i386: move PIT function declarations and constants to correct header file

setup_pit_timer is declared in asm-i386/timer.h. Move it to the pit header file, so it can be used by x86_64 as well. Move also the PIT constants. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: john stultz Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

i386: fix machine rebooting

2007-07-22T01:37:10Z

Commit 59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538 fixed machine rebooting on Truxton's machine (when no keyboard was present). But it broke it on Lee's machine. The patch reinstates the old (pre-59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538) code and if that doesn't work out, try the new, post-59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538 code instead.

[PATCH] clockevents: i386 drivers

2007-02-16T16:13:59Z

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.

[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation

2006-12-07T01:14:07Z

Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT. This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops structure with their own variants. All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier. And: +From: Andy Whitcroft The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup(). Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86: arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior Move memory_setup() to avoid this.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12Z

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t. Signed-Off-By: David Howells (cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)
