2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman3-3/+3
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.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: avoid warning message livelockRoland Dreier1-2/+3
I've seen my box paralyzed by an endless spew of rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz. messages on the serial console. What seems to be happening is that something real causes an interrupt to be lost and triggers the message. But then printing the message to the serial console (from the hpet interrupt handler) takes more than 1/1024th of a second, and then some more interrupts are lost, so the message triggers again.... Fix this by adding a printk_ratelimit() before printing the warning.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: update IO-APIC dest field to 8-bit for xAPICBenjamin Romer1-13/+11
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 Molnar1-0/+27
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: x86_64 - Fix FS/GS registers for VT executionZachary Amsden1-6/+14
Initialize FS and GS to __KERNEL_DS as well. The actual value of them is not important, but it is important to reload them in protected mode. At this time, they still retain the real mode values from initial boot. VT disallows execution of code under such conditions, which means hardware virtualization can not be used to boot the kernel on Intel platforms, making the boot time painfully slow. This requires moving the GS load before the load of GS_BASE, so just move all the segments loads there to keep them together in the code.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: Allow to run a program when a machine check event is detectedAndi Kleen2-12/+58
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: Tighten mce_amd driver MSR readsJan Beulich1-15/+25
while debugging an unrelated problem in Xen, I noticed odd reads from non-existent MSRs. Having now found time to look why these happen, I came up with below patch, which - prevents accessing MCi_MISCj with j > 0 when the block pointer in MCi_MISC0 is zero - accesses only contiguous MCi_MISCj until a non-implemented one is found - doesn't touch unimplemented blocks in mce_threshold_interrupt at all - gives names to two bits previously derived from MASK_VALID_HI (it took me some time to understand the code without this) The first three items, besides being apparently closer to the spec, should namely help cutting down on the time mce_threshold_interrupt() takes.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: Fix fake numa for x86_64 machines with big IO holeRohit Seth2-14/+127
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.

- Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was only one memory node. The prevents the creation of the dynamic hashmap. - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of a node. On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address, meaning, that we see nodes like 00000 - 10000 10000 - 20000 But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap. For example: 00000 - 0FFFF 10000 - 1FFFF In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower than what is possible. In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should be 16.

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: Add __copy_from_user_nocacheAndi Kleen3-1/+219
This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining. This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth in some case. The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the CPU again and it's better to not pollute the cache with it. Also it is a little faster. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 2Arjan van de Ven1-1/+1
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2007-02-12[PATCH] Dynamic kernel command-line: fixupsAlon Bar-Lev1-2/+0
Remove in-source externs, linux/init.h is included in all cases. This is a fixups for "Dynamic kernel command-line" patch. It also includes some uml __init fixups so that we can __initdata also its command_line.

Part of long forgotten patch http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/msg/e98e941ce1cf29f6?dmode=source Since then, m32r grabbed two copies. Leave s390 copy because of important absence of CONFIG_VT, but remove references to non-existent timerlist_lock. ia64 also loses timerlist_lock.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Common compat_sys_sysinfoKyle McMartin2-67/+1
I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested. This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.
