Implement pause_on_oops() on x86_64. AK: I redid the patch to do the oops_enter/exit in the existing oops_begin()/end(). This makes it much shorter. Signed-off-by:

Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every* context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context switch. The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously). After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

cyrix_identify() should be __init because transmeta_identify() is. tsc_init() is only called from setup_arch() which is marked as __init. These two section mismatches have been detected using running modpost on a vmlinux image compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Signed-off-by:

Now for a completely different but trivial approach. I just boot tested it with 255 CPUS and everything worked. Currently everything (except module data) we place in the per cpu area we know about at compile time. So instead of allocating a fixed size for the per_cpu area allocate the number of bytes we need plus a fixed constant for to be used for modules. It isn't perfect but it is much less of a pain to work with than what we are doing now. AK: fixed warning Signed-off-by:

The implementation comes from Zach's [RFC, PATCH 10/24] i386 Vmi descriptor changes: Descriptor and trap table cleanups. Add cleanly written accessors for IDT and GDT gates so the subarch may override them. Note that this allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary kernel code modification. It also allows the hypervisor implementation of the VMI to tweak the gates, allowing for custom exception frames or extra layers of indirection above the guest fault / IRQ handlers. Signed-off-by:

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: -

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:
