I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version of monotonic_clock(). While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values occasionally went negative (time going backwards). I found that in the following code: this_offset = get_cycles_sync(); /* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */ --> offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz; } return base + offset; the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though this_offset > last_offset. +Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com> The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns(). I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq(). Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0 is enabled.

This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section, since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry, that must be marked unsafe as well. This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous" for kprobes section. AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in. +From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to do a .previous at the end of the function. Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code into .fixup. Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup). It's surprising this didn't cause more havok. The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests properly. A further cleanup would be to get rid of all .section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile. +From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com> Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well. The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same section. Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them. Signed-off-by:

We have a test that looks for invalid pairings of certain athlon/durons that weren't designed for SMP, and taint accordingly (with 'S') if we find such a configuration. However, this test shouldn't fire if there's only a single CPU present. It's perfectly valid for an SMP kernel to boot on UP hardware for example. AK: changed to num_possible_cpus() Signed-off-by:

Fix a very dubious piece of code in arch/i386/kernel/cpu/common.c:cpu_init(). This clears out %fs and %gs, but clobbers %eax in the process without telling gcc. It turns out that gcc happens to be not using %eax at that point anyway so it doesn't matter much, but it looks like a bomb waiting to go off. This does end up saving an instruction, because gcc wants %eax==0 for the set_debugreg()s below. Signed-off-by:

Following x86-64 patches. Reuses code from them in fact. Convert the standard backtracer to do all output using callbacks. Use the x86-64 stack tracer implementation that uses these callbacks to implement the stacktrace interface. This allows to use the new dwarf2 unwinder for stacktrace and get better backtraces.

This unifies the standard backtracer and the new stacktrace in memory backtracer. The standard one is converted to use callbacks and then reimplement stacktrace using new callbacks. The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder and avoid false positives in many cases. I kept it simple to make sure the standard backtracer stays reliable.

Needed for use of the unwinder in lockdep, because lockdep runs really early too. Cc: jbeulich@novell.com Signed-off-by: -
Andi Kleen authored
Lockdep can call the dwarf2 unwinder early, and the dwarf2 code uses safe_smp_processor_id which tries to access the local APIC page. But that doesn't work before the APIC code has set up its fixmap. Check for this case and always return boot cpu then. Cc: jbeulich@novell.com Cc: mingo@elte.hu Signed-off-by: -
Andi Kleen authored
The new dwarf2 unwinder needs to take locks to do backtraces inside modules. This patch makes sure lockdep which calls stacktrace is not reentered. Thanks to Ingo for suggesting this simpler approach. Cc: mingo@elte.hu Signed-off-by: -

tce_cache_blast_stress was useful during bringup to stress the IOMMU's cache flushing. Now that we quiesce DMAs on every cache flush, using _stress() brings the machine down to its knees once you put it under load. Remove this debug / bringup code that isn't useful anymore completely.

Introduce new function verify_bit_range(). Define two versions, one for CONFIG_IOMMU_DEBUG enabled and one for disabled. Previously we were checking that the bitmap was consistent every time we allocated or freed an entry in the TCE table, which is good for debugging but incurs an unnecessary penalty on non debug builds.

is_at_popf() needs to test for the iret instruction as well as popf. So add that test and rename it to is_setting_trap_flag(). Also change max insn length from 16 to 15 to match reality. LAHF / SAHF can't affect TF, so the comment in x86_64 is removed. Signed-off-by:

Andi Kleen authored
I think it was only needed for the printks and we can do them later. I put in a single early_printk so that we know the kernel is alive (early_printk doesn't need any locks) This makes some things easier for initialization of unwind for lockdep, which is needed by later patches. cc: mingo@elte.hu Signed-off-by: -

Instead of hackish manual parsing Requires earlier i386 patchkit, but also fixes i386 early_printk again. I removed some obsolete really early parameters which didn't do anything useful. Also made a few parameters that needed it early (mostly oops printing setup) Also removed one panic check that wasn't visible without early console anyways (the early console is now initialized after that panic) This cleans up a lot of code.

This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of these will get passed through the environment into init. This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable parts: 1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/ 2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use early_param(). [AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next x86-64 patch] 3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h 4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi). 5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL, except one where it has subtle humor value.

We currently assume that boot parameters which are handled by early_param() will not overlap boot parameters handled by __setup: if they do, behaviour is dependent on link order, usually meaning __setup will not get called. ACPI wants to use early_param("pci"), and pci uses __setup("pci="), so we modify the core to let them coexist: "pci=noacpi" will now get passed to both. Signed-off-by: -
