2006-06-21[PATCH] PCI: fix issues with extended conf space when MMCONFIG disabled ↵Chuck Ebbert
because of e820 On 15 Jun 2006 03:45:10 +0200, Andi Kleen wrote: > Anyways I would say that if the BIOS can't get MCFG right then > it's likely not been validated on that board and shouldn't be used. According to Petr Vandrovec: ... "What is important (and checked) is address of MMCONFIG reported by MCFG table... Unfortunately code does not bother with printing that address :-( "Another problem is that code has hardcoded that MMCONFIG area is 256MB large. Unfortunately for the code PCI specification allows any power of two between 2MB and 256MB if vendor knows that such amount of busses (from 2 to 128) will be sufficient for system. With notebook it is quite possible that not full 8 bits are implemented for MMCONFIG bus number." So here is a patch. Unfortunately my system still fails the test because it doesn't reserve any part of the MMCONFIG area, but this may fix others. Booted on x86_64, only compiled on i386. x86_64 still remaps the max area (256MB) even though only 2MB is checked... but 2.6.16 had no check at all so it is still better. PCI: reduce size of x86 MMCONFIG reserved area check 1. Print the address of the MMCONFIG area when the test for that area being reserved fails. 2. Only check if the first 2MB is reserved, as that is the minimum.

This a bit late (yours patch was posted about a year ago), but a co-worker of spotted part of the code that looks like a memory leak.

2006-06-21[PATCH] PCI: i386/x86_84: disable PCI resource decode on device disableRajesh Shah
When a PCI device is disabled via pci_disable_device(), it's still left decoding its BAR resource ranges even though its driver will have likely released those regions (and may even have unloaded). pci_enable_device() already explicitly enables BAR resource decode for the device being enabled. This patch disables resource decode for the PCI device being disabled, making it symmetric with the enable call. I saw this while doing something else, not because of a problem report. Still, seems to be the correct thing to do. Signed-off-by: Rajesh Shah <rajesh.shah@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2006-06-08[PATCH] Fix HPET operation on 32-bit NVIDIA platformsAndy Currid
From: "Andy Currid" <ACurrid@nvidia.com> This patch fixes a kernel panic during boot that occurs on NVIDIA platforms that have HPET enabled. When HPET is enabled, the standard timer IRQ is routed to IOAPIC pin 2 and is advertised as such in the ACPI APIC table - but an earlier workaround in the kernel was ignoring this override. The fix is to honor timer IRQ overrides from ACPI when HPET is detected on an NVIDIA platform.

2006-05-21[PATCH] i386 kdump boot cpu physical apicid fixVivek Goyal
o Kdump second kernel boot fails after a system crash if second kernel is UP and acpi=off and if crash occurred on a non-boot cpu. o Issue here is that MP tables report boot cpu lapic id as 0 but second kernel is booting on a different processor and MP table data is stale in this context. Hence apic_id_registered() check fails in setup_local_APIC() when called from APIC_init_uniprocessor(). o Problem is not seen if ACPI is enabled as in that case boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from the LAPIC. o Problem is not seen with SMP kernels as well because in this case also boot_cpu_physical_apicid is read from LAPIC. (smp_boot_cpus()). o The problem is fixed by reading boot_cpu_physical_apicid from LAPIC if it is a UP kernel and CRASH_DUMP is enabled.

2006-05-08[PATCH] x86_64: avoid IRQ0 ioapic pin collisionKimball Murray
The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets re-used, and the IRQ is assigned to another unrelated device. The patch corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses 4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI. - First we introduced no_broadcast option (see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h) - x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386) since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI. - We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8 CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the above ARCH wasnt selected. So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386 until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done right.

2006-04-20[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processesAndi Kleen
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan.
