      [PATCH] powerpc/iseries: Fix double phys_to_abs bug in htab_bolt_mapping · 56ec6462
      Michael Ellerman authored
      Before the merge I updated create_pte_mapping() to work for iSeries, by
      calling iSeries_hpte_bolt_or_insert. (4c55130b)
      
      Later we changed iSeries_hpte_insert to cope with the bolting case, and called
      that instead from create_pte_mapping() (which was renamed to htab_bolt_mapping)
      (3c726f8d).
      
      Unfortunately that change introduced a subtle bug, where we pass an absolute
      address to iSeries_hpte_insert() where it expects a physical address. This
      leads to us calling phys_to_abs() twice on the physical address, which is
      seriously bogus.
      
      This only causes a problem if the absolute address from the first translation
      can be looked up again in the chunk_map, which depends on the size and layout
      of memory. I've seen it fail on one box, but not others.
      
      The minimal fix is to pass the physical address to iSeries_hpte_insert(). For
      2.6.17 we should make phys_to_abs() BUG if we try to double-translate an
      address.

      [PATCH] powerpc: vdso 64bits gettimeofday bug · 634473db
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      A bug in the assembly code of the vdso can cause gettimeofday() to hang
      or to return incorrect results. The wrong register was used to test for
      pending updates of the calibration variables and to create a dependency
      for subsequent loads. This fixes it.

      [PATCH] powerpc: fix dynamic PCI probe regression · 827c1a6c
      John Rose authored
      Some hotplug driver functions were migrated to the kernel for use by EEH
      in commit 2bf6a8fa.
      
      Previously, the PCI Hotplug module had been changed to use the new
      OFDT-based PCI probe when appropriate:
      5fa80fcd
      
      When rpaphp_pci_config_slot() was moved from the rpaphp driver to the
      new kernel function pcibios_add_pci_devices(), the OFDT-based probe
      stuff was dropped.  This patch restores it.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Better ATI timer fix · ab9b32ee
      Andi Kleen authored
      The previous experiment for using apicmaintimer on ATI systems didn't
      work out very well.  In particular laptops with C2/C3 support often
      don't let it tick during idle, which makes it useless.  There were also
      some other bugs that made the apicmaintimer often not used at all.
      
      I tried some other experiments - running timer over RTC and some other
      things but they didn't really work well neither.
      
      I rechecked the specs now and it turns out this simple change is
      actually enough to avoid the double ticks on the ATI systems.  We just
      turn off IRQ 0 in the 8254 and only route it directly using the IO-APIC.
      
      I tested it on a few ATI systems and it worked there.  In fact it worked
      on all chipsets (NVidia, Intel, AMD, ATI) I tried it on.
      
      According to the ACPI spec routing should always work through the
      IO-APIC so I think it's the correct thing to do anyways (and most of the
      old gunk in check_timer should be thrown away for x86-64).
      
      But for 2.6.16 it's best to do a fairly minimal change:
       - Use the known to be working everywhere-but-ATI IRQ0 both over 8254
         and IO-APIC setup everywhere
       - Except on ATI disable IRQ0 in the 8254
       - Remove the code to select apicmaintimer on ATI chipsets
       - Add some boot options to allow to override this (just paranoia)
      
      In 2.6.17 I hope to switch the default over to this for everybody.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Move the SMP time selection earlier · e8b91777
      Andi Kleen authored
      SMP time selection originally ran after all CPUs were brought up because
      it needed to know the number of CPUs to decide if it needs an MP safe
      timer or not.
      
      This is not needed anymore because we know present CPUs early.
      
      This fixes a couple of problems:
       - apicmaintimer didn't always work because it relied on state that was
         set up time_init_gtod too late.
       - The output for the used timer in early kernel log was misleading
         because time_init_gtod could actually change it later.  Now always
         print the final timer choice
