This patch defines frame_pointer() and stack_pointer() similar to the already defined instruction_pointer(). Thus the oprofile code can be written in a more readable fashion. [ tglx: arch/x86 adaptation ] Signed-off-by:

gcc 3.2+ supports __builtin_prefetch, so it's possible to use it on all architectures. Change the generic fallback in linux/prefetch.h to use it instead of noping it out. gcc should do the right thing when the architecture doesn't support prefetching Undefine the x86-64 inline assembler version and use the fallback.

Here is a small patch to change the behavior of the PMU msr allocator to avoid BUG_ON() when the MSR is unknwon. Instead, it now returns ok, which means "I do not manage". The current allocator is not yet managing the full set of PMU registers (e.g., GLOBAL_* on Core 2). [watchdog] do not BUG_ON() in the MSR allocator if MSR is unknown, return ok instead Signed-off-by:

This is from an earlier message from Christoph Lameter: processor_core.c currently tries to determine the apicid by special casing for IA64 and x86. The desired information is readily available via cpu_physical_id() on IA64, i386 and x86_64. Signed-off-by:Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Additionally, boot_cpu_id needed to be exported to fix compile errors in dma code when !CONFIG_SMP. Signed-off-by:

Convert cpu_llc_id from a static array sized by NR_CPUS to a per_cpu variable. This saves sizeof(cpu_llc_id) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions. Note there's an additional change of the type of cpu_llc_id from int to u8 for ARCH i386 to correspond with the same type in ARCH x86_64. Signed-off-by:

This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions. MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup. For this case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch() and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is initialized. A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64. Signed-off-by:

This simplifies the io_apic.c __assign_irq_vector() logic and removes the explicit SYSCALL_VECTOR check, and also allows for vectors to be reserved by other mechanisms (ie. lguest). [ tglx: arch/x86 adaptation ] Signed-off-by:

This patch defines the missing function smp_call_function_mask() for x86_64, this is more or less a cut&paste of i386 function. It removes also some duplicate code. This function is needed by KVM to execute a function on some CPUs. AK: Fixed description AK: Moved WARN_ON(irqs_disabled) one level up to not warn in the panic case.

Both functions printk the same information, except for CRx and debug registers in the show_registers() one and a bit different manner. So move the common code into one place. This is already done for x86_64, so I think it's worth having the same on i386. This saves 100 bytes of .rodata section :) ... but only 8 from .text :( [ tglx: arch/x86 adaptation ] Signed-off-by:

This patch improves oprofile callgraphs for i386/x86_64. The old backtracing code was unable to produce kernel backtraces if the kernel wasn't compiled with framepointers. The code now uses dump_trace(). [ tglx: arch/x86 adaptation ] Signed-off-by:

ICH3 and ICH4 have undocumented HPET capabilities. This patch enables HPET for platforms based around these ICHs. Tested on various ICH3 and ICH4 platforms. Because HPET is not officially documented for ICH3/4 and may not have been validated by chipset folks, we're on thin ice here. I'd recommend testing this patch in -hrt or -mm for a while and wait for success/failure reports before feeding it upstream. tglx: depends on the force_hpet command line option ! Signed-off-by:

x86 NUMA kernels crash in the scheduler setup code if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0" is passed on the boot command line: | Brought up 1 CPUs | BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 | printing eip: c011f0b5 *pde = 00000000 | Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP | | Pid: 1, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.23 #67) | EIP: 0060:[<c011f0b5>] EFLAGS: 00010246 CPU: 0 | EIP is at sd_degenerate+0x35/0x40 the reason is sloppy spaghetti code in smpboot_32.c that resulted in a missing map_cpu_to_logical_apicid() call - which also had the side-effect of setting up the cpu_2_node[] entry for the lone CPU. That resulted in node_to_cpumask(0) resulting in 00000000 - confusing the sched-domains setup code. Signed-off-by:

Appended patch fixes an oops while changing the vsyscall sysctl. I am sure no one tested this code before integrating into mainline :( BTW, using ioremap() in vsyscall_sysctl_change() to get the virtual address of a kernel symbol sounds like an over kill.. I wonder if we can define a simple __va_vsymbol() which will return directly the kernel direct mapping. comments in the code which says gcc has trouble with __va(__pa()) sounds bogus to me. __pa() on a vsyscall address will not work anyhow :( And also, the whole nop out syscall in vsyscall page infrastructure (vsyscall_sysctl_change()) is added to make some attacks difficult, and yet I don't see this nop out being done by default. This area requires more cleanups? Fix an oops with __pa_vsymbol(). VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE is a fixmap index. We want the starting virtual address of the vsyscall page and not the index.

While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification, Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in global_flush_tlb(): down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in parallel can corrupt the list. This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree: commit ea7322de Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100 [PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); - dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL); + list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not. So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug. why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture. the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.
