Roman Zippel pointed out that the missing lower limit of intervals leads to an accounting error in the overrun count. Enforce the lower limit of intervals to resolution in the timer forwarding code. Signed-off-by:Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

Change the storage format of the per base resolution to ktime_t to make it easier accessible in the hrtimers code. Change the resolution from (NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ) to TICK_NSEC as Roman pointed out. TICK_NSEC is closer to the real resolution. Signed-off-by: -

The list_head in the hrtimer structure was introduced for easy access to the first timer with the further extensions of real high resolution timers in mind, but it turned out in the course of development that it is not necessary for the standard use case. Remove the list head and access the first expiry timer by a datafield in the timer base. Signed-off-by: -

o This fix was posted for i386 long back. Posting it for x86_64. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110380103229830&w=2 o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and secondary cpus don't boot. o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit. o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32 instead of 16. Signed-off-by:

Previously they would be only allocated before the kernel text at 1MB. This limited the maximum supported memory to 128GB. Now allow the e820 allocator to put them everywhere. Try to put them beyond any DMA zones to avoid filling them up. This should free some GFP_DMA memory compared to earlier kernels. Signed-off-by:

When building in a separate objtree, file names produced by BUG() & Co. can get fairly long; printing only the first 50 characters may thus result in (almost) no useful information. The following change makes it so that rather the last 50 characters of the filename get printed. Signed-Off-By:

Due to a broken condition, the body of the loop that is intended to wait for the Update-In-Progress bit to get set and then cleared again was never entered; in fact, the entire loop was optimized out by the compiler. Here is a change to fix the condition (and to also move the initialization of locals out of the spin lock protected region). Signed-Off-By:

o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode. o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts. o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero). This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a non-boot cpu. Signed-off-by:

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 are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar 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. There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true. And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com> A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is connected. Now counter i has been replaced by apic. counter i is having some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to IOAPIC. Signed-off-by:

Patch uses a static PDA array early at boot and reallocates processor PDA with node local memory when kmalloc is ready, just before pda_init. The boot_cpu_pda is needed since the cpu_pda is used even before pda_init for that cpu is called (to set the static per-cpu areas offset table etc) Signed-off-by:

Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node. apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA. x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init. We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node. Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from correct node. Change since last release: Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases. Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA. Tested on EM64T NUMA. Also tested with numa=off, numa=fake, and running a kernel compiled with NUMA on a regular EM64 2 way SMP. Signed-off-by:

Passing random input values in eax to cpuid is not a good idea because the CPU will GPF for unknown ones. Use the correct x86-64 version that exists for a longer time too. This also adds a memory barrier to prevent the optimizer from reordering. Cc: tigran@veritas.com Signed-off-by:
