2009-06-16x86, boot: use .code16gcc instead of .code16H. Peter Anvin
Use .code16gcc to compile arch/x86/boot/bioscall.S rather than .code16, since some older versions of binutils can't generate 32-bit addressing expressions (67 prefixes) in .code16 mode, only in .code16gcc mode.

2009-06-16x86: correct the conversion of EFI memory typesCliff Wickman
This patch causes all the EFI_RESERVED_TYPE memory reservations to be recorded in the e820 table as type E820_RESERVED. (This patch replaces one called 'x86: vendor reserved memory type'. This version has been discussed a bit with Peter and Yinghai but not given a final opinion.) Without this patch EFI_RESERVED_TYPE memory reservations may be marked usable in the e820 table. There may be a collision between kernel use and some reserver's use of this memory. (An example use of this functionality is the UV system, which will access extremely large areas of memory with a memory engine that allows a user to address beyond the processor's range. Such areas are reserved in the EFI table by the BIOS. Some loaders have a restricted number of entries possible in the e820 table, hence the need to record the reservations in the unrestricted EFI table.) The call to do_add_efi_memmap() is only made if "add_efi_memmap" is specified on the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: Cliff Wickman <cpw@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2009-06-16x86: cap iomem_resource to addressable physical memoryH. Peter Anvin
iomem_resource is by default initialized to -1, which means 64 bits of physical address space if 64-bit resources are enabled. However, x86 CPUs cannot address 64 bits of physical address space. Thus, we want to cap the physical address space to what the union of all CPU can actually address. Without this patch, we may end up assigning inaccessible values to uninitialized 64-bit PCI memory resources. Signed-off-by: H.

2009-06-16x86: mm: Read cr2 before prefetching the mmap_lockIngo Molnar
Prefetch instructions can generate spurious faults on certain models of older CPUs. The faults themselves cannot be stopped and they can occur pretty much anywhere - so the way we solve them is that we detect certain patterns and ignore the fault. There is one small path of code where we must not take faults though: the #PF handler execution leading up to the reading of the CR2 (the faulting address). If we take a fault there then we destroy the CR2 value (with that of the prefetching instruction's) and possibly mishandle user-space or kernel-space pagefaults. It turns out that in current upstream we do exactly that: prefetchw(&mm->mmap_sem); /* Get the faulting address: */ address = read_cr2(); This is not good. So turn around the order: first read the cr2 then prefetch the lock address. Reading cr2 is plenty fast (2 cycles) so delaying the prefetch by this amount shouldnt be a big issue performance-wise. [ And this might explain a mystery fault.c warning that sometimes occurs on one an old AMD/Semptron based test-system i have - which does have such prefetch problems. ] Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com> Cc: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> LKML-Reference: <20090616030522.GA22162@Krystal> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-06-16amd-iommu: resume cleanupChris Wright
Now that enable_iommus() will call iommu_disable() for each iommu, the call to disable_iommus() during resume is redundant. Also, the order for an invalidation is to invalidate device table entries first, then domain translations.

2009-06-15amd-iommu: flush domain tlb when attaching a new deviceChris Wright
When kexec'ing to a new kernel (for example, when crashing and launching a kdump session), the AMD IOMMU may have cached translations. The kexec'd kernel, during initialization, will invalidate the IOMMU device table entries, but not the domain translations. These stale entries can cause a device's DMA to fail, makes it rough to write a dump to disk when the disk controller can't DMA ;-) Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org> Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>

2009-06-14x86: hpet: Mark per cpu interrupts IRQF_TIMER to prevent resume failureThomas Gleixner
timer interrupts are excluded from being disabled during suspend. The clock events code manages the disabling of clock events on its own because the timer interrupt needs to be functional before the resume code reenables the device interrupts. The hpet per cpu timers request their interrupt without setting the IRQF_TIMER flag so suspend_device_irqs() disables them as well which results in a fatal resume failure on the boot CPU. Adding IRQF_TIMER to the interupt flags when requesting the hpet per cpu timer interrupts solves the problem.

2009-06-11slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequencePekka Enberg
This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some changes to allocator boostrap code. Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar: We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code: [ 0.000000] Checking if this processor honours the WP bit even in supervisor mode...BUG: Int 14: CR2 ffcff000 [ 0.000000] EDI 00000188 ESI 00000ac7 EBP c17eaf9c ESP c17eaf8c [ 0.000000] EBX 000014e0 EDX 0000000e ECX 01856067 EAX 00000001 [ 0.000000] err 00000003 EIP c10135b1 CS 00000060 flg 00010002 [ 0.000000] Stack: c17eafa8 c17fd410 c16747bc c17eafc4 c17fd7e5 000011fd f8616000 c18237cc [ 0.000000] 00099800 c17bb000 c17eafec c17f1668 000001c5 c17f1322 c166e039 c1822bf0 [ 0.000000] c166e033 c153a014 c18237cc 00020800 c17eaff8 c17f106a 00020800 01ba5003 [ 0.000000] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.30-tip-02161-g7a74539-dirty #52203 [ 0.000000] Call Trace: [ 0.000000] [<c15357c2>] ? printk+0x14/0x16 [ 0.000000] [<c10135b1>] ? do_test_wp_bit+0x19/0x23 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd410>] ? test_wp_bit+0x26/0x64 [ 0.000000] [<c17fd7e5>] ? mem_init+0x1ba/0x1d8 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1668>] ? start_kernel+0x164/0x2f7 [ 0.000000] [<c17f1322>] ? unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x19c [ 0.000000] [<c17f106a>] ? __init_begin+0x6a/0x6f Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Acked-by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi>
