2008-01-24Driver core: change sysdev classes to use dynamic kobject namesKay Sievers1-1/+1
All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer need to keep track if the name is statically assigned, we can just unconditionally free() all kobject names on cleanup. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-22Revert "x86: fix NMI watchdog & 'stopped time' problem"Thomas Gleixner1-7/+2
This reverts commit d4d25deca49ec2527a634557bf5a6cf449f85deb. It tried to fix long standing bugzilla entries, but the solution was reported to break other systems. The reporter of http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9791 tracked it down to this commit and confirmed that reverting the patch restores the correct behaviour. It's too late in the release cycle to find a better solution than reverting the commit to avoid regressions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-12-04x86: add the word 'WARNING' in check_nmi_watchdog() outputDon Zickus1-1/+2
Our automated test suite looks for keywords like error, fail, warning in the boot log. In the case when the nmi watchdog is determined to be stuck in check_nmi_watchdog(), none of those keywords are displayed. This patch adds a keyword, "WARNING:", so it makes it easier to notice when the nmi watchdog isn't working correctly. Also add a proper KERN_WARNING mark to this printout.

2007-11-26x86: fix NMI watchdog & 'stopped time' problemMaciej W. Rozycki1-2/+7
More than 3 years ago Niclas Gustafsson reported a 'stopped time' problem: > Watching the /proc/interrupts with 10s apart after the "stop". > > [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer [...] > LOC: 67355837 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 > [root@s151 root]# more /proc/interrupts > CPU0 > 0: 66413955 local-APIC-edge timer [...] > LOC: 67379568 > ERR: 0 > MIS: 0 This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky ;-) ) insanely. this should resolve: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2544 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6296 Patch-dusted-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2007-11-09x86: make nmi_cpu_busy() always definedIngo Molnar1-2/+2
nmi_cpu_busy() must be available on !SMP too. this is in preparation to a smp_call_function_mask() fix. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2007-10-13Delete filenames in comments.Dave Jones1-2/+0
Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames are no longer correct. Rather than keep them up to date, just delete them, as they add no real value. Additionally: - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM - remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from git.

2007-10-12x86: Fix irq0 / local apic timer accountingThomas Gleixner1-1/+2
The clock events merge introduced a change to the nmi watchdog code to handle the not longer increasing local apic timer count in the broadcast mode. This is fine for UP, but on SMP it pampers over a stuck CPU which is not handling the broadcast interrupt due to the unconditional sum up of local apic timer count and irq0 count. To cover all cases we need to keep track on which CPU irq0 is handled. In theory this is CPU#0 due to the explicit disabling of irq balancing for irq0, but there are systems which ignore this on the hardware level. The per cpu irq0 accounting allows us to remove the irq0 to CPU0 binding as well. Add a per cpu counter for irq0 and evaluate this instead of the global irq0 count in the nmi watchdog code.
