2011-03-21ACPI, APEI, Add ERST record ID cacheHuang Ying
APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users in mind. For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1, 2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow, reader 1 reader 2 1 2 3 4 -1 -1 where -1 signals there is no more record ID. Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no chance to check record 1 and 3. And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any record even they are not cleared by anyone. This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple users. To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and implemented. When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to caller. So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID available.

Return 0 on failure. This will cause the initialization of the driver to fail and prevent the driver from loading if the BIOS cannot handle the PCC interface command to "get frequency". Otherwise, the driver will load and display a very high value like "4294967274" (which is actually -EINVAL) for frequency: # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq 4294967274 Signed-off-by: Naga Chumbalkar <nagananda.chumbalkar@hp.com> CC: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

Due to commit 781c5a67f152c17c3e4a9ed9647f8c0be6ea5ae9 it is likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0 -- especially when the first 64K is already reserved (X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).

It appears that when powernow-k8 finds that No compatible ACPI _PSS objects found. and suggests Try again with latest BIOS. it fails the module load, but does not unregister the cpu_notifier that was registered in powernowk8_init This ends up leaving freed memory on the cpu notifier list for some other poor module (e.g. md/raid5) to come along and trip over.

On some SB800 systems polarity for IOAPIC pin2 is wrongly specified as low active by BIOS. This caused system hangs after resume from S3 when HPET was used in one-shot mode on such systems because a timer interrupt was missed (HPET signal is high active).

I see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently doesn't have any IOAPICs. But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)

Since checkin ebba638ae723d8a8fc2f7abce5ec18b688b791d7 we call verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, calling a function means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in the 32-bit setup code! This code initializes the stack pointer, and simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different values for the segment register anyway. This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants the other way around...

2011-02-03x86, mtrr: Avoid MTRR reprogramming on BP during boot on UP platformsSuresh Siddha
Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire 1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression. commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3 Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Date: Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700 x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init Because of the UP configuration of that platform, native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check()) before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init() Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual write only if they are different. BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's happens and all is well. However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of the OS boot. During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup. We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the commit d0af9eed5aa91b6b7b5049cae69e5ea956fd85c3, because only the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP had at the start of the OS boot. Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot. Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393 [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ] Reported-and-bisected-by: Markus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Tested-by: Markus Kohn <jabber@gmx.org> Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Cc: Thomas Renninger <trenn@novell.com> Cc: Rafael Wysocki <rjw@novell.com> Cc: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venki@google.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org # [v2.6.32+] LKML-Reference: <1296694975.4418.402.camel@sbsiddha-MOBL3.sc.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This patch fixes some issues with raw event validation on Pentium 4 (Netburst) based processors. As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two problems in the p4_validate_raw_event() function: - the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on - the binding to ESCR register was missing The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded correctly compared to generic PMU events.

2011-01-24x86-64: Don't use pointer to out-of-scope variable in dump_trace()Jesper Juhl
In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code: ... if (!stack) { unsigned long dummy; stack = &dummy; if (task && task != current) stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp; } bp = stack_frame(task, regs); /* * Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the * current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested * exceptions */ tinfo = task_thread_info(task); for (;;) { char *id; unsigned long *estack_end; estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack, &used, &id); ... You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable 'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the 'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

2011-01-21x86, hotplug: Fix powersavings with offlined cores on AMDBorislav Petkov
ea53069231f9317062910d6e772cca4ce93de8c8 made a CPU use monitor/mwait when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we select the idle routine for the machine. With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to boost again.

2011-01-19Revert "x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"Ingo Molnar
This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83cb ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils"). Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch. The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies variables. Until that's done and tested on all architectures revert this commit to solve the regression. Reported-and-bisected-by: Markus Trippelsdorf <markus@trippelsdorf.de> Acked-by: "H.

2011-01-18x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutilsShaohua Li
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y option is broken with new binutils, which will make boot panic. According to Lu Hongjiu, the affected binutils are from 2.20.51.0.12 to 2.21.51.0.3, which are release since Oct 22 this year. At least ubuntu 10.10 is using such binutils. See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12327 The reason of the boot panic is that we have 'jiffies = jiffies_64;' in vmlinux.lds.S. The jiffies isn't in any section. In kernel build, there is warning saying jiffies is an absolute address and can't be relocatable. At runtime, jiffies will have virtual address 0.

2011-01-14x86, mrst: Set correct APB timer IRQ affinity for secondary cpuJacob Pan
Offlining the secondary CPU causes the timer irq affinity to be set to CPU 0. When the secondary CPU is back online again, the wrong irq affinity will be used. This patch ensures secondary per CPU timer always has the correct IRQ affinity when enabled.

2011-01-14x86: tsc: Fix calibration refinement conditionals to avoid divide by zeroJohn Stultz
Konrad Wilk reported that the new delayed calibration crashes with a divide by zero on Xen. The reason is that Xen sets the pmtimer address, but reading from it returns 0xffffff. That results in the ref_start and ref_stop value being the same, so the delta is zero which causes the divide by zero later in the calculation. The conditional (!hpet && !ref_start && !ref_stop) which sanity checks the calibration reference values doesn't really make sense. If the refs are null, but hpet is on, we still want to break out. The div by zero would be possible to trigger by chance if both reads from the hardware provided the exact same value (due to hardware wrapping). So checking if both the ref values are the same should handle if we don't have hardware (both null) or if they are the same value (either by invalid hardware, or by chance), avoiding the div by zero issue.

2011-01-13mm: unify module_alloc code for vmallocDavid Rientjes
Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range(). __vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of [VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior. Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove the duplication of code.
