5f1d189 [PATCH] x86_64: Display meaningful part of filename during BUG() When building in a separate objtree, file names produced by BUG() & Co. can get fairly long; printing only the first 50 characters may thus result in (almost) no useful information.

af5b980 [PATCH] x86_64: ioapic virtual wire mode fix o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode. o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts. o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero). This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a non-boot cpu.

1008fdd [PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots. Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected. This is very useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup. Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out. Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be able to use kexec now. In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0. There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true. And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is connected. Now counter i has been replaced by apic. counter i is having some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to IOAPIC. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

05b3cbd [PATCH] x86_64: Early initialization of cpu_to_node Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node. apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA. x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init. We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node. Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from correct node. Change since last release: Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases. Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA. Tested on EM64T NUMA. Also tested with numa=off, numa=fake, and running a kernel compiled with NUMA on a regular EM64 2 way SMP.

17a941d [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functions AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now. There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now. And various other changes and cleanups. Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks needs more testing. This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this patch: - introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU). - gets rid of: if (swiotlb) return swiotlb_xxx(); - PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation. They have a variety of applications: - They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ - They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time in idle when performance counters don't tick. - They can be used for better C state management in ACPI - They could be used for microstate accounting.

5a07a30 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Remove sub jiffy profile timer support Remove the finer control of local APIC timer. We cannot provide a sub-jiffy control like this when we use broadcast from external timer in place of local APIC. Instead of removing this only on systems that may end up using broadcast from external timer (due to C3), I am going the "I'm feeling lucky" way to remove this fully.

01b8faa [PATCH] x86_64: Report hardware breakpoints in user space when triggered by the kernel I would like to throw out a suggestion for a possible change in the way that the debug register traps are handled in do_debug() when the trap occurs in kernel-mode. In the x86_64 version of do_debug(), the code will skip around sending a SIGTRAP to the current task if the trap occurred while in kernel mode. On the i386-side of things, if the access happens to occur in kernel mode (say during a read(2) of user's buffer that matches the address of a debug register trap), then the do_debug() routine for i386 will go ahead and call send_sigtrap() and send the SIGTRAP signal. The send_sigtrap() code will also set the info.si_addr to NULL in this case (even though I don't understand why, since the SIGTRAP siginfo processing doesn't use the si_addr field...). So I would like to suggest that the x86_64 do_debug() routine also follow this type of behavior and have it go ahead and send the SIGTRAP signal to the current task, even if the debug register trap happens to have occurred in kernel mode. I have taken a stab at a patch for this change below. (It includes the i386-ish change for setting si_addr to NULL when the trap occurred in kernel mode.) It seems like a useful feature to be able to 'watch' a user location that might also be modified in the kernel via a system service call, and have the debugger report that information back to the user, rather than to just silently ignore the trap. Additionally, I realize that users that pull in a kernel debugger such as KGDB into their kernel might want to remove this change below when they add in KGDB support. However, they could alternatively look at the current task's thread.debugreg[] values to see if the trap occurred due to KGDB or instead because of a user-space debugger trap, and still honor the user SIGTRAP processing (instead of the KGDB breakpoint processing) if the trap matches up with the thread.debugreg[] registers.

We should be able to do this multiplication with out overflowing provided the cpu is running at less than about 128 GHz. xloops < 20000 * 0x10c6. loops_per_jiffy * HZ <= cpu_clock_speed. So if the cpu clock speed < 2^64/(20000 * 0x10c6) = 2^64/ 51E6CC0 < 2^64/2^27 = 2^37 = 128G we will not overflow the calculation.

6e3fbee [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Don't IPI to offline cpus on shutdown So why are we calling smp_send_stop from machine_halt? We don't. Looking more closely at the bug report the problem here is that halt -p is called which triggers not a halt but an attempt to power off. machine_power_off calls machine_shutdown which calls smp_send_stop. If pm_power_off is set we should never make it out machine_power_off to the call of do_exit. So pm_power_off must not be set in this case. When pm_power_off is not set we expect machine_power_off to devolve into machine_halt. So how do we fix this? Playing too much with smp_send_stop is dangerous because it must also be safe to be called from panic. It looks like the obviously correct fix is to only call machine_shutdown when pm_power_off is defined. Doing that will make Andi's assumption about not scheduling true and generally simplify what must be supported. This turns machine_power_off into a noop like machine_halt when pm_power_off is not defined. If the expected behavior is that sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF) becomes sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT) if pm_power_off is NULL this is not quite a comprehensive fix as we pass a different parameter to the reboot notifier and we set system_state to a different value before calling device_shutdown(). Unfortunately any fix more comprehensive I can think of is not obviously correct. The core problem is that there is no architecture independent way to detect if machine_power will become a noop, without calling it.
