The following patch moves the functionality of swsusp related to creating and handling the snapshot of memory to a separate file, snapshot.c This should enable us to untangle the code in the future and eventually to implement some parts of swsusp.c in the user space. The patch does not change the code. Signed-off-by:

The following patch makes swsusp use PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags to mark pages that should be freed after the state of the system has been restored from the image (or in case of an error during suspend). This allows us to avoid storing metadata in swap twice and to reduce the amount of memory needed by swsusp. Additionally, it allows us to simplify the code by removing a couple of functions that are no longer necessary. Signed-off-by:

cpufreq entries in sysfs should only be populated when CPU is online state. When we either boot with maxcpus=x and then boot the other cpus by echoing to sysfs online file, these entries should be created and destroyed when CPU_DEAD is notified. Same treatement as cache entries under sysfs. We place the processor in the lowest frequency, so hw managed P-State transitions can still work on the other threads to save power. Primary goal was to just make these directories appear/disapper dynamically. There is one in this patch i had to do, which i really dont like myself but probably best if someone handling the cpufreq infrastructure could give this code right treatment if this is not acceptable. I guess its probably good for the first cut. - Converting lock_cpu_hotplug()/unlock_cpu_hotplug() to disable/enable preempt. The locking was smack in the middle of the notification path, when the hotplug is already holding the lock. I tried another solution to avoid this so avoid taking locks if we know we are from notification path. The solution was getting very ugly and i decided this was probably good for this iteration until someone who understands cpufreq could do a better job than me. (akpm: export cpucontrol to GPL modules: drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq_stats.c now does lock_cpu_hotplug()) Signed-off-by:

cpu cache entries should be populated only when cpu is online and removed when they are logically offlined. Without which entries are not removed when cpu is offlined, or dont appear when we boot with maxcpus=1 and then kick the rest of the cpus via echo 1 to the sysfs online file. - Changed __devinit to __cpuinit for consistency. - Changed sysfs_driver_register to register_cpu_notifier.

Some modules creating sysfs entries under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/ need to know the parent sysfs entry to make devices under them. This will just return the sysfs entry for a given cpu. sysfs entries showing under each cpu sysfs can be easily created if such entries can be created by registering a sysfs driver for cpuclass. The issue is when the entry is created the CPU may not be online, hence we would need to defer the creation until the online notification comes. Current users: cache entries for Intel CPU's and cpufreq subsystem. Signed-off-by:

After staring at mpparse.c for a little longer I noticed that when we hit our limit of num_processors we are filtering out information about other processors that we can still store. This patch just reorders the code so we store everything we can. This should avoid the incorrect warning about our boot CPU not being listed by the BIOS that we are now getting in the kexec on panic case, and it should allow us to detect all apicid conflicts even when our physical number of cpus exceeds maxcpus.

o Removes the unnecessary call to local_irq_disable(). o Kdump was failing while second kernel was coming up. Check for presence of boot cpu apic id was failing in (apic_id_registered), hence hitting BUG(). o This should not have failed because before calling setup_local_APIC(), it is ensured that even if BIOS has not reported boot cpu, then hard set the prence of it. Problem happens because of usage of hard_smp_processor_id() which is hardcoded to zero in case of non SMP kernel. In kdump case second kernel can boot on a cpu whose boot cpu id is not zero. o Using boot_cpu_physical_apicid instead to hard set the presence of boot cpu. Signed-off-by:

It is dangerous to shutdown the apics in machine_crash_shutdown. With my previous patch to initialize apics in init_IRQ we should be able to boot a kernel without this. As long as we reinitialize the APICs we don't care what state they were in during bootup. This should make machine_crash_shutdown noticeably more reliable. Signed-off-by:

Eric W. Biederman authored
All kinds of ugliness exists because we don't initialize the apics during init_IRQs. - We calibrate jiffies in non apic mode even when we are using apics. - We have to have special code to initialize the apics when non-smp. - The legacy i8259 must exist and be setup correctly, even when we won't use it past initialization. - The kexec on panic code must restore the state of the io_apics. - init/main.c needs a special case for !smp smp_init on x86 In addition to pure code movement I needed a couple of non-obvious changes: - Move setup_boot_APIC_clock into APIC_late_time_init for simplicity. - Use cpu_khz to generate a better approximation of loops_per_jiffies so I can verify the timer interrupt is working. - Call setup_apic_nmi_watchdog again after cpu_khz is initialized on the boot cpu.

The per cpu nmi watchdog timer is based on an event counter. idle cpus don't generate events so the NMI watchdog doesn't fire and the test to see if the watchdog is working fails. - Add nmi_cpu_busy so idle cpus don't mess up the test. - kmalloc prev_nmi_count to keep kernel stack usage bounded. - Improve the error message on failure so there is enough information to debug problems.

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 kexec another kernel and likely helpful when dealing with a 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. As there does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true. Signed-off-by:

The code that prints the cache size assumes that L3 always lives in chipset and is shared across CPUs. Which is not really true. I think all the cachesizes reported by cpuid are in the processor itself. The attached patch changes the code to reflect that. Signed-off-by:

This was reported because someone was getting oopses reading /proc/iomem. It was tracked down to a zero-sized 'struct resource' entry which was located right at 4GB. You need two conditions to hit this bug: a BIOS E820_RAM area starting at exactly the boundary where you specify mem= (to get a zero-sized entry), and for the legacy_init_iomem_resources() loop to skip that resource (which only happens at exactly 4G). I think the killing zero-sized e820 entry is the easiest way to fix this. Signed-off-by:

Hopefully fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5235 Similar problem has been reported before here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/def4ca19dbc3cd4/5cffbf349f2c87a4?tvc=2&q=Aleksey+Gorelov&hl=en#5cffbf349f2c87a4 and was related to bug in BIOS reporting 82C686 router compatible to 586. I suspect BIOS on this board has similar issue: reports VT8235 router to be compatible with 586 one - which is obviously not true. Patch from the link above has already incorporated in both 2.6 & 2.4 series, but might not work in this particular case. Signed-off-by:

The per-CPU initialization code is copying in bogus data into thread->tls_array. Note that it copies &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu), not &per_cpu(cpu_gdt_table, cpu)[GDT_ENTRY_TLS_MIN). That is totally broken and unnecessary. Make the initialization explicitly NULL. Signed-off-by:

Initial internal version of Venki's cpuid(4) deterministic cache parameter identification patch used static arrays of size MAX_CACHE_LEAVES. Final patch which made to the base used dynamic array allocation, with this MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit hunk still in place. cpuid(4) already has a mechanism to find out the number of cache levels implemented and there is no need for this hardcoded MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit. So remove the MAX_CACHE_LEAVES limit from the routine which calculates the number of cache levels using cpuid(4) Signed-off-by:

I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function. It uses a cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz. In the specific case of an Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with nearly nanosecond accuracy. Fix the x86_64 architecture too. Cc: george anzinger <george@mvista.com> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by:

James Morris authored
This patch allows SELinux to canonicalize the value returned from getxattr() via the security_inode_getsecurity() hook, which is called after the fs level getxattr() function. The purpose of this is to allow the in-core security context for an inode to override the on-disk value. This could happen in cases such as upgrading a system to a different labeling form (e.g. standard SELinux to MLS) without needing to do a full relabel of the filesystem. In such cases, we want getxattr() to return the canonical security context that the kernel is using rather than what is stored on disk. The implementation hooks into the inode_getsecurity(), adding another parameter to indicate the result of the preceding fs-level getxattr() call, so that SELinux knows whether to compare a value obtained from disk with the kernel value. We also now allow getxattr() to work for mountpoint labeled filesystems (i.e. mount with option context=foo_t), as we are able to return the kernel value to the user. Signed-off-by:
