From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area. That was needed on some old systems. But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems and mark all areas that are not memory correctly. This patch will allow to use the real memory in there. Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to try. So far I'm optimistic. Signed-off-by:Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion and stack corruption. Note: This problem was originally spotted and solved by Andi Kleen in the x86_64 architecture. This patch is an adaption of his patch for i386. AK: Merged with current code which was a bit different. AK: Removed printk in nmi handler that shouldn't be there in the first time AK: Added missing include. AK: added KPROBES_END Signed-off-by:

The different cpu_dev structures are all used from __cpuinit callers what I can tell. So mark them as __cpuinitdata instead of __initdata. I am a little bit unsure about arch/i386/common.c:default_cpu, especially when it comes to the purpose of this_cpu. Signed-off-by:

cpu_dev->c_identify is only called from arch/i386/common.c:identify_cpu(), and this after generic_identify() already has been called. There is no need to call this function twice and hook it in c_identify - but I may be wrong, please double check before applying. This patch also removes generic_identify() from cpu.h to avoid unnecessary future nesting. Signed-off-by:

Fix for the x86_64 kernel mapping code. Without this patch the update path only inits one pmd_page worth of memory and tramples any entries on it. now the calling convention to phys_pmd_init and phys_init is to always pass a [pmd/pud] page not an offset within a page.

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.

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:
