2006-02-24[PATCH] Fix topology.c locationZachary Amsden
When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition, on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes both of these problems. Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

2006-02-24[PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequenceJames Bottomley
Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for booting CPUs again.

2006-02-24[PATCH] voyager: fix the cpu_possible_map to make voyager boot againJames Bottomley
Right at the moment (thanks to a patch from Andrew), cpu_possible_map on voyager is CPU_MASK_NONE, which means the machine always thinks it has no CPUs.

I'm seeing a kernel panic on an ES7000-600 when booting in virtual wire mode. The panic happens because smp_read_mpc() is passed a physical address, and it should be virtual.

Lost a few hours debugging an early-bootup fault within printk itself, which manifested itself as a hard to debug early hang. This patch makes it much easier by printing out early faults via early_printk(), which function is a lot simpler than a full printk, and hence more likely to succeed in emergencies.

2006-02-11[PATCH] fstatat64 supportUlrich Drepper
The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement fstatat64. This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64 the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what is done for the other stat syscalls as well. This patch might break some other archs (those which define __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed). The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

2006-02-10[PATCH] x86: don't initialise cpu_possible_map to all onesAndrew Morton
Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive. b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory. I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug case. Should be OK.. I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing that.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started processor after CPU hotplug. The cpu_devs array is searched to find the vendor and it contains pointers to freed data. Fix that by: 1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup. 2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data]. 3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu to a safe default when the vendor is not found. This does not change behavior for AMD systems. They were broken already but no error was reported.

As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu().

2006-02-03[PATCH] OProfile: fixed x86_64 incorrect kernel call graphsTong Li
Fix the problem in kernel 2.6.15.1 (and early versions) that OProfile on x86_64 does not correctly collect the stack traces for kernel functions. The original code in valid_kernel_stack() in arch/i386/oprofile/backtrace.c assumes that the frame pointer (headaddr) should be greater than stack (i.e., regs). This assumption is wrong for x86_64 because NMIs in x86_64 use a seperate stack different from the kernel stack. Therefore, the variable stack now points to some location on the NMI stack, which turns out to be at a higher address than the frame pointer (headaddr) on the kernel stack. The correct comparison here should be between headaddr and regs->rsp for x86_64.

2006-02-01[PATCH] VMSPLIT config optionsMark Lord
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB. There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB of physical RAM. This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such machines. The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel image.

Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are synchronized. Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears that a number of lost ticks have occurred.

Handle TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK as added by David Woodhouse's patch entitled: [PATCH] 2/3 Add TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK support for arch/powerpc [PATCH] 3/3 Generic sys_rt_sigsuspend It does the following: (1) Declares TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK for i386. (2) Invokes it over to do_signal() when TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK is set. (3) Makes do_signal() support TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK, using the signal mask saved in current->saved_sigmask. (4) Discards sys_rt_sigsuspend() from the arch, using the generic one instead. (5) Makes sys_sigsuspend() save the signal mask and set TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK rather than attempting to fudge the return registers. (6) Makes sys_sigsuspend() return -ERESTARTNOHAND rather than looping intrinsically. (7) Makes setup_frame(), setup_rt_frame() and handle_signal() return 0 or -EFAULT rather than true/false to be consistent with the rest of the kernel. Due to the fact do_signal() is then only called from one place: (8) Makes do_signal() no longer have a return value is it was just being ignored; force_sig() takes care of this. (9) Discards the old sigmask argument to do_signal() as it's no longer necessary. (10) Makes do_signal() static. (11) Marks the second argument to do_notify_resume() as unused. The unused argument should remain in the middle as the arguments are passed in as registers, and the ordering is specific in entry.S Given the way do_signal() is now no longer called from sys_{,rt_}sigsuspend(), they no longer need access to the exception frame, and so can just take arguments normally.

Allow gcc4 compilers to optimize unit-at-a-time. This flag enables gcc to "see" the entire C file before making optimisation decisions such as inline, which results in gcc making better decisions. One of the immediate effects of this is that static functions that are used only once now get inlined. gcc 3.4 has this flag as well, however gcc 3.x have a problem with inlining and stacks and as a result, enabling this flag there would cause excessive and unacceptable stack use. This problem is fixed in the gcc 4.x series. The x86-64 architecture already enables this feature so it's well tested already.

Various GX1 BIOSes seem to use this 'feature' to hide the real BARs of the device. This patch disables these traps (in an early PCI fixup) so that Linux sees the real, physical BARs and not the virtual ones provided by the BIOS. This should allow the GX1 framebuffer driver to work on more systems that have different BIOSes as the driver no longer guesses at what the virtual BARs mean. I'm not entirely sure it the correct solution as I can neither test regular VGA console nor the X's 'cyrix' video driver so there might be some breakage there -- probably best to get some more testers before applying it.

2006-01-14[PATCH] i386: fix stack dump loglevelChuck Ebbert
Recent changes caused part of stack traces from SysRq-T to print at KERN_EMERG loglevel. Also, parts of stack dump during oops were failing to print at that level when they should.

2006-01-14[PATCH] i386: put HOTPLUG_CPU under Processor type, not Bus optionsRandy Dunlap
Move the HOTPLUG_CPU option under "Processor type" instead of under "Bus options". This makes it the same for i386 as most other processor types (arm, ia64, parisc, ppc, s390, & x86_64; but not for powerpc). Besides, it takes me too long to find it under Bus options. I can't be the only person who has trouble finding it. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
