2009-02-11x86, apic: make generic_apic_probe() generally availableIngo Molnar
Impact: build fix Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-11x86, apic: fix initialization of wakeup_cpuAlok Kataria
With refactoring of wake_cpu macros the 32bit code in tip doesn't execute generic_apic_probe if CONFIG_X86_32_NON_STANDARD is not set. Even on a x86 STANDARD cpu we need to execute the generic_apic_probe function, as we rely on this function to execute the update_genapic quirk which initilizes apic->wakeup_cpu. Failing to do so results in we making a call to a null function in do_boot_cpu. The stack trace without the patch goes like this.

2009-01-29x86: rename X86_GENERICARCH to X86_32_NON_STANDARDIngo Molnar

2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager had this Kconfig quirk: config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG def_bool y depends on X86_MPPARSE || X86_VOYAGER Which splits off the find_smp_config() callback into a build-time quirk. Voyager should use the existing x86_quirks.mach_find_smp_config() callback to introduce SMP-config quirks. NUMAQ-32 and VISWS already use this. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86: generalize boot_cpu_idIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager can boot on non-zero processors. While that can probably be fixed by properly remapping the physical CPU IDs, keep boot_cpu_id for now for easier transition - and expand it to all of x86. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86: replace CONFIG_X86_SMP with CONFIG_SMPIngo Molnar
The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between 'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support': config X86_SMP bool depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64) This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended more to cover all the specialities of Voyager. So remove this complication in the Kconfig space. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86: move mach-default/*.h files to asm/Ingo Molnar

2008-12-14x86 Fix VMI crash on boot in 2.6.28-rc8Zachary Amsden
VMI initialiation can relocate the fixmap, causing early_ioremap to malfunction if it is initialized before the relocation. To fix this, VMI activation is split into two phases; the detection, which must happen before setting up ioremap, and the activation, which must happen after parsing early boot parameters. This fixes a crash on boot when VMI is enabled under VMware. Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies, LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.) This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both versions are handled.

2008-11-01x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisorAlok Kataria
Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.

2008-10-20kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCOREVivek Goyal
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table. So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup calgary iommu accordingly. o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files. (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file otherwise that would have been the best place). o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in second kernel without KEXEC being enabled. o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh. Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not broken on sh.

2008-09-16x86: add X86_RESERVE_LOW_64KIngo Molnar
This bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first 64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events. Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems. Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this, so we try to be robust by default. Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n. Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other early reservations. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-09-16x86: reserve low 64K on AMI and Phoenix BIOS boxenIngo Molnar
there's multiple reports about suspend/resume related low memory corruption in this bugzilla: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 the common pattern is that the corruption is caused by the BIOS, and that it affects some portion of the first 64K of physical RAM. So add a DMI quirk This will waste 64K RAM on 'good' systems too, but without knowing the exact nature of this BIOS memory corruption this is the safest approach. This might as well solve a wide range of suspend/resume breakages under Linux. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-09-16x86: add DMI quirk for AMI BIOS which corrupts address 0xc000 during resumeIngo Molnar
Alan Jenkins and Andy Wettstein reported a suspend/resume memory corruption bug and extensively documented it here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 The bug is that the BIOS overwrites 1K of memory at 0xc000 physical, without registering it in e820 as reserved or giving the kernel any idea about this. Detect AMI BIOSen and reserve that 1K. We paint this bug around with a very broad brush (reserving that 1K on all AMI BIOS systems), as the bug was extremely hard to find and needed several weeks and lots of debugging and patching. The bug was found via the CONFIG_X86_CHECK_BIOS_CORRUPTION=y debug feature, if similar bugs are suspected then this feature can be enabled on other systems as well to scan low memory for corrupted memory.

Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with _PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once we've established that the processor does indeed support NX. That will prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it. The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.
