2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: Patch inline replacements for paravirt interceptsRusty Russell
It turns out that the most called ops, by several orders of magnitude, are the interrupt manipulation ops. These are obvious candidates for patching, so mark them up and create infrastructure for it. The method used is that the ops structure has a patch function, which is called for each place which needs to be patched: this returns a number of instructions (the rest are NOP-padded). Usually we can spare a register (%eax) for the binary patched code to use, but in a couple of critical places in entry.S we can't: we make the clobbers explicit at the call site, and manually clobber the allowed registers in debug mode as an extra check. And: Don't abuse CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, add CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.

2006-12-07[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisationRusty Russell
Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT. This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure. Currently these are function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops structure with their own variants. All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier. And: +From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Implement CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGNVivek Goyal
o Now CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is being replaced with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN. Hardcoding the kernel physical start value creates a problem in relocatable kernel context due to boot loader limitations. For ex, if somebody compiles a relocatable kernel to be run from address 4MB, but this kernel will run from location 1MB as grub loads the kernel at physical address 1MB. Kernel thinks that I am a relocatable kernel and I should run from the address I have been loaded at. So somebody wanting to run kernel from 4MB alignment location (for improved performance regions) can't do that. o Hence, Eric proposed that probably CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN will make more sense in relocatable kernel context. At run time kernel will move itself to a physical addr location which meets user specified alignment restrictions.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Relocatable kernel supportEric W. Biederman
This patch modifies the i386 kernel so that if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is selected it will be able to be loaded at any 4K aligned address below 1G. The technique used is to compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor is fully relocatable. For the main kernel relocations are generated. Resulting in a kernel that is relocatable with no runtime overhead and no need to modify the source code. A reserved 32bit word in the parameters has been assigned to serve as a stack so we figure out where are running. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: define __pa_symbol()Eric W. Biederman
On x86_64 we have to be careful with calculating the physical address of kernel symbols. Both because of compiler odditities and because the symbols live in a different range of the virtual address space. Having a defintition of __pa_symbol that works on both x86_64 and i386 simplifies writing code that works for both x86_64 and i386 that has these kinds of dependencies. So this patch adds the trivial i386 __pa_symbol definition. Added assembly magic similar to RELOC_HIDE as suggested by Andi Kleen. Just picked it up from x86_64. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Distinguish absolute symbolsVivek Goyal
Ld knows about 2 kinds of symbols, absolute and section relative. Section relative symbols symbols change value when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not. Currently in the linker script we have several labels marking the beginning and ending of sections that are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols. Having a mixture of absolute and section relative symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless but it is confusing. This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place symbols that appear in sections without data and instead ld makes those symbols global :( My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel. The safest and least intrusive technique is to generate relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load time. The only penalty would be an increase in the size of the kernel binary. The problem is that if absolute and relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which is fatal. The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code the physical memory location they will run at, especially for the distributions. [AK: and merged:] o Also put a message so that in future people can be aware of it and avoid introducing absolute symbols. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Update sys_vm86 to cope with changed pt_regs and %gs usageJeremy Fitzhardinge
sys_vm86 uses a struct kernel_vm86_regs, which is identical to pt_regs, but adds an extra space for all the segment registers. Previously this structure was completely independent, so changes in pt_regs had to be reflected in kernel_vm86_regs. This changes just embeds pt_regs in kernel_vm86_regs, and makes the appropriate changes to vm86.c to deal with the new naming. Also, since %gs is dealt with differently in the kernel, this change adjusts vm86.c to reflect this. While making these changes, I also cleaned up some frankly bizarre code which was added when auditing was added to sys_vm86.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernelJeremy Fitzhardinge
This patch is the meat of the PDA change. This patch makes several related changes: 1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel. This means that on entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with __KERNEL_PDA. 2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register state can be accessed. Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space). 3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the register state in a signal context. 4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data areaJeremy Fitzhardinge
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it. The GDT's __KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA. This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up as early as possible in cpu_init(). Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up the ldt and load %gs. This will be important once smp_processor_id() and current use the PDA. In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code, so the PDA is always available.

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: add sleazy FPU optimizationChuck Ebbert
i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature. Chuck reports that this gives him a +/- 0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark x86_64 description follows: Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every* context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you take an extra trap every context switch. The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously). After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some time.

2006-12-04[PATCH] Centralise definitions of sector_t and blkcnt_tMatthew Wilcox
CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly good reason. Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no effect. The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

2006-12-04[PATCH] pcmcia: multifunction card handling fixesDominik Brodowski
s->functions needs to be initialized earlier, for the "let's see how high it increases" approach means that pcmcia_request_irq() (which makes use of this value) is confused, and might request an exclusive IRQ first even though it is not supposed to. Also, a CIS override autoloaded using the firmware loader may allow for the use of more or less functions in a multifunction card. Therefore, we may need to schedule a call to add this second function later on, or simply remove the other function (it's always the first -valid- function which reaches this codepath). Many thanks to Fabrice Bellet for debugging and testing patches. Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>

2006-12-04[MIPS] Use SYSVIPC_COMPAT to fix various problems on N32Atsushi Nemoto
N32 SysV IPC system calls should use 32-bit compatible code. arch/mips/kernel/linux32.c have similar compatible code for O32, but ipc/compat.c seems more complete. We can use it for both N32 and O32.
