2009-02-09x86, vmi: put a missing paravirt_release_pmd in pgd_dtorAlok Kataria
Commit 6194ba6ff6ccf8d5c54c857600843c67aa82c407 ("x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much") made changes to the way we handle pmd allocations, and while doing that it dropped a call to paravirt_release_pd on the pgd page from the pgd_dtor code path. As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the pgd page being freed, and as a result it ends up tracking this page as a page table page. After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance and/or functional issues ( hangs, reboots). Since this release is only required for VMI, I now release the pgd page from the (vmi)_pgd_free hook.

[ 0.000000] nr_irqs_gsi: 38 So nr_irqs_gsi is not right. some irq for MSI will overwrite with io_apic. need to get that with acpi_probe_gsi when acpi io_apic is used Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-09x86: add clflush before monitor for Intel 7400 seriesPallipadi, Venkatesh
For Intel 7400 series CPUs, the recommendation is to use a clflush on the monitored address just before monitor and mwait pair [1]. This clflush makes sure that there are no false wakeups from mwait when the monitored address was recently written to.

2009-02-04x86: don't apply __supported_pte_mask to non-present ptesJeremy Fitzhardinge
On an x86 system which doesn't support global mappings, __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_GLOBAL clear, to make sure it never appears in the PTE. pfn_pte() and so on will enforce it with: static inline pte_t pfn_pte(unsigned long page_nr, pgprot_t pgprot) { return __pte((((phys_addr_t)page_nr << PAGE_SHIFT) | pgprot_val(pgprot)) & __supported_pte_mask); } However, we overload _PAGE_GLOBAL with _PAGE_PROTNONE on non-present ptes to distinguish them from swap entries. However, applying __supported_pte_mask indiscriminately will clear the bit and corrupt the pte. I guess the best fix is to only apply __supported_pte_mask to present ptes. This seems like the right solution to me, as it means we can completely ignore the issue of overlaps between the present pte bits and the non-present pte-as-swap entry use of the bits. __supported_pte_mask contains the set of flags we support on the current hardware. We also use bits in the pte for things like logically present ptes with no permissions, and swap entries for swapped out pages. We should only apply __supported_pte_mask to present ptes, because otherwise we may destroy other information being stored in the ptes.

Impact: fix to enable APIC for AMD Fam10h on chipsets with a missing/b0rked ACPI MP table (MADT) Booting a 32bit kernel on an AMD Fam10h CPU running on chipsets with missing/b0rked MP table leads to a hang pretty early in the boot process due to the APIC not being initialized.

2009-02-02virtio-pci: do not oops on config change if driver not loadedMark McLoughlin
The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK. However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL before trying to notify the driver of config changes. Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.

2009-02-02modules: Use a better scheme for refcountingEric Dumazet
Current refcounting for modules (done if CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD=y) is using a lot of memory. Each 'struct module' contains an [NR_CPUS] array of full cache lines. This patch uses existing infrastructure (percpu_modalloc() & percpu_modfree()) to allocate percpu space for the refcount storage. Instead of wasting NR_CPUS*128 bytes (on i386), we now use nr_cpu_ids*sizeof(local_t) bytes. On a typical distro, where NR_CPUS=8, shiping 2000 modules, we reduce size of module files by about 2 Mbytes. (1Kb per module) Instead of having all refcounters in the same memory node - with TLB misses because of vmalloc() - this new implementation permits to have better NUMA properties, since each CPU will use storage on its preferred node, thanks to percpu storage.

This is a port of libata's pata_cs5536.c (written by Martin K. Petersen) to IDE subsystem. Changes done while at it: * Reprogram PIO/MWDMA timings if needed before and after DMA transfer (chipset uses shared PIO/MWDMA timings). * Fix cable detection to report 80-wires cable if BIOS set it for any device on a port (IDE core will do drive-side cable detection later). * Don't disable UDMA while programming PIO timings. * Simplify PCI/MSR support. Pros of having IDE host driver in addition to libata's one: * IDE is much lighter than SCSI+libata, the host driver itself is also a bit smaller: text data bss dec hex filename 1261 496 4 1761 6e1 drivers/ata/pata_cs5536.o 1242 128 4 1374 55e drivers/ide/cs5536.o * This allows use of IDE features which are unavailable under libata. v2: * Fixes per review from Sergei: - simplify dependency check in Kconfig - use IDE_DRV_MASK also for ->drive_data - disable UDMA when programming MWDMA - program new DTC timings only when necessary - fix printk() level in cs5536_init_one() * Fix patch description according to comments from Alan and Sergei. v3: * Smarter masking of UDMA bits per Sergei's suggestion.

2009-02-02fbdev/atyfb: Fix DSP config on some PowerMacs & PowerBooksRisto Suominen
Since the complete re-write in 2.6.10, some PowerMacs (At least PowerMac 5500 and PowerMac G3 Beige rev A) with ATI Mach64 chip have suffered from unstable columns in their framebuffer image. This seems to depend on a value (4) read from PLL_EXT_CNTL register, which leads to incorrect DSP config parameters to be written to the chip. This patch uses a value calculated by aty_init_pll_ct instead, as a starting point. There are questions as to whether this should be extended to other platforms or maybe made dependent on specific chip types, but in the meantime, this has been tested on various powermacs and works for them so let's commit it.

2009-02-01Manually revert "mlock: downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions"Linus Torvalds
This essentially reverts commit 8edb08caf68184fb170f4f69c7445929e199eaea. It downgraded our mmap semaphore to a read-lock while mlocking pages, in order to allow other threads (and external accesses like "ps" et al) to walk the vma lists and take page faults etc. Which is a nice idea, but the implementation does not work. Because we cannot upgrade the lock back to a write lock without releasing the mmap semaphore, the code had to release the lock entirely and then re-take it as a writelock. However, that meant that the caller possibly lost the vma chain that it was following, since now another thread could come in and mmap/munmap the range. The code tried to work around that by just looking up the vma again and erroring out if that happened, but quite frankly, that was just a buggy hack that doesn't actually protect against anything (the other thread could just have replaced the vma with another one instead of totally unmapping it). The only way to downgrade to a read map _reliably_ is to do it at the end, which is likely the right thing to do: do all the 'vma' operations with the write-lock held, then downgrade to a read after completing them all, and then do the "populate the newly mlocked regions" while holding just the read lock. And then just drop the read-lock and return to user space. The (perhaps somewhat simpler) alternative is to just make all the callers of mlock_vma_pages_range() know that the mmap lock got dropped, and just re-grab the mmap semaphore if it needs to mlock more than one vma region. So we can do this "downgrade mmap sem while populating mlocked regions" thing right, but the way it was done here was absolutely not correct. Thus the revert, in the expectation that we will do it all correctly some day.
