2009-02-03x86: kexec: Use one page table in x86_64 machine_kexecHuang Ying
Impact: reduce kernel BSS size by 7 pages, improve code readability Two page tables are used in current x86_64 kexec implementation. One is used to jump from kernel virtual address to identity map address, the other is used to map all physical memory. In fact, on x86_64, there is no conflict between kernel virtual address space and physical memory space, so just one page table is sufficient. The page table pages used to map control page are dynamically allocated to save memory if kexec image is not loaded. ASM code used to map control page is replaced by C code too.

2008-11-12x86: disable IRQs before doing anything on nmi_shootdown_cpus()Eduardo Habkost
Impact: make nmi_shootdown_cpus() callable from preemptible context We need to know on which CPU we are running on, and we don't want to be preempted while doing this. Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-12x86 kdump: make kdump_nmi_callback() a function ptr on crash_nmi_callback()Eduardo Habkost
Impact: extend nmi_shootdown_cpus() with a callback The reboot code will use a different function on crash_nmi_callback(). Adding a function pointer parameter to nmi_shootdown_cpus() for that. Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

While investigating the failure of hibernation on 32-bit x86 with CONFIG_NUMA set, as described in this message http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122634118116226&w=4 I asked some people for help and I was told that it wasn't really worth the effort, because CONFIG_NUMA was generally broken on 32-bit x86 systems and it shouldn't be used in such configs.

2008-11-07xen: make sure stray alias mappings are gone before pinningJeremy Fitzhardinge
Xen requires that all mappings of pagetable pages are read-only, so that they can't be updated illegally. As a result, if a page is being turned into a pagetable page, we need to make sure all its mappings are RO. If the page had been used for ioremap or vmalloc, it may still have left over mappings as a result of not having been lazily unmapped. This change makes sure we explicitly mop them all up before pinning the page. Unlike aliases created by kmap, the there can be vmalloc aliases even for non-high pages, so we must do the flush unconditionally.

Impact: fix 32-bit Xen guest boot crash On 32-bit PAE, pud_page, for no good reason, didn't really return a struct page *. Since Jan Beulich's fix "i386/PAE: fix pud_page()", pud_page does return a struct page *. Because PAE has 3 pagetable levels, the pud level is folded into the pgd level, so pgd_page() is the same as pud_page(), and now returns a struct page *.

2008-11-06[IA64] fix boot panic caused by offline CPUsDoug Chapman
This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f01b6b4eb98809350827c9678996698 "Minimize per_cpu reservations." That patch incorrectly used information about what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI. The end result was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a NULL pointer reference. Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU info. This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the "Minimize per_cpu reservations". This patch just fixes the regressions, the cleanup will come in a later patch.

2008-11-06[ARM] fix naming of MODULE_START / MODULE_ENDRussell King
As of 73bdf0a60e607f4b8ecc5aec597105976565a84f, the kernel needs to know where modules are located in the virtual address space. On ARM, we located this region between MODULE_START and MODULE_END. Unfortunately, everyone else calls it MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END. Update ARM to use the same naming, so is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() can work properly. Also update the comment on mm/vmalloc.c to reflect that ARM also places modules in a separate region from the vmalloc space. Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
2008-11-06Revert "x86: default to reboot via ACPI"Eduardo Habkost
This reverts commit c7ffa6c26277b403920e2255d10df849bd613380. the assumptio of this change was that this would not break any existing machine. Andrey Borzenkov reported troubles with the ACPI reboot method: the system would hang on reboot, necessiating a power cycle. Probably more systems are affected as well. Also, there are patches queued up for v2.6.29 to disable virtualization on emergency_restart() - which was the original motivation of this change.

2008-11-06x86: align DirectMap in /proc/meminfoHugh Dickins
Impact: right-align /proc/meminfo consistent with other fields When the split-LRU patches added Inactive(anon) and Inactive(file) lines to /proc/meminfo, all counts were moved two columns rightwards to fit in. Now move x86's DirectMap lines two columns rightwards to line up. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-11-06AMD IOMMU: fix lazy IO/TLB flushing in unmap pathJoerg Roedel
Lazy flushing needs to take care of the unmap path too which is not yet implemented and leads to stale IO/TLB entries. This is fixed by this patch. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com>
2008-11-06x86: add smp_mb() before sending INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTORSuresh Siddha
Impact: fix rare x2apic hang On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode. Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
