fix code to access CMOS rtc registers so that it does not use inb_p and outb_p routines, which are deprecated. Extensive research on all known CMOS RTC chipset timing shows that there is no need for a delay in accessing the registers of these chips even on old machines. These chipa are never on an expansion bus, but have always been "motherboard" resources, either in the processor chipset or explicitly on the motherboard, and they are not part of the ISA/LPC or PCI buses, so delays should not be based on bus timing. The reason to fix it: 1) port 80 writes often hang some laptops that use ENE EC chipsets, esp. those designed and manufactured by Quanta for HP; 2) RTC accesses are timing sensitive, and extra microseconds may matter; 3) the new "io_delay" function is calibrated by expansion bus timing needs, thus is not appropriate for access to CMOS rtc registers.

Replace the hardcoded list of initialization functions for each CPU vendor by a list in an ELF section, which is read at initialization in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpu.c to fill the cpu_devs[] array. The ELF section, named .x86cpuvendor.init, is reclaimed after boot, and contains entries of type "struct cpu_vendor_dev" which associates a vendor number with a pointer to a "struct cpu_dev" structure. This first modification allows to remove all the VENDOR_init_cpu() functions. This patch also removes the hardcoded calls to early_init_amd() and early_init_intel(). Instead, we add a "c_early_init" member to the cpu_dev structure, which is then called if not NULL by the generic CPU initialization code. Unfortunately, in early_cpu_detect(), this_cpu is not yet set, so we have to use the cpu_devs[] array directly. This patch is part of the Linux Tiny project, and is needed for further patch that will allow to disable compilation of unused CPU support code. Signed-off-by:

I found it strange that the struct sk_buff definition was found inside the DWARF debugging sections in the generated object, so I verified and found that there is no need for the files that bring struct sk_buff definition into this file and verified also that sk_buff is not brought in indirectly too, thru other headers. I went on and removed many other unneeded includes and the end result is: [acme@doppio net-2.6]$ l /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after -rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 185240 2008-02-06 19:19 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after -rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 248328 2008-02-06 19:00 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before Almost 64KB only on this object file!

The AMD Fam10h CPUs support new Gigabyte page table entry for mapping 1GB at a time. Use this for the kernel direct mapping. Only done for 64bit because i386 does not support GB page tables. This only applies to the data portion of the direct mapping; the kernel text mapping stays with 2MB pages because the AMD Fam10h microarchitecture does not support GB ITLBs and AMD recommends against using GB mappings for code. Can be disabled with disable_gbpages on the kernel command line [ tglx@linutronix.de: simplify enable code ] [ Yinghai Lu <yinghai.lu@sun.com>: boot fix on 256 GB RAM ] Signed-off-by:

These new controls toggle experimental support for a new CPU feature, the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the pud level, which allows 1GB (kernel) TLBs instead of 2MB TLBs. Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet. Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then nogbpages boot option disables it. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds code to the kernel to have an (optional) /proc/kernel_page_tables debug file that basically dumps the kernel pagetables; this allows us kernel developers to verify that nothing fishy is going on and that the various mappings are set up correctly. This was quite useful in finding various change_page_attr() bugs, and is very likely to be useful in the future as well. Signed-off-by:

We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid. For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl. When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use the vDSO for anything, but we still map it. For the non-compat vDSO, this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing up the control of the address space the user was hoping for. Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages. [ also see: "x86 vDSO: don't use disabled vDSO for signal trampoline" ] Signed-off-by:

If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal handler. Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now. Background: Currently, every 32-bit exec gets the vDSO mapped even if it's disabled (the process just doesn't get told about it). Because it's in fact always there, the bug that this patch fixes cannot happen now. With the second patch, it won't be mapped at all when it's disabled, which is one of the things that people might really want when they disable it (so nothing they didn't ask for goes into their address space). The 32-bit signal handler setup when SA_RESTORER is not used refers to current->mm->context.vdso without regard to whether the vDSO has been disabled when the process was exec'd. This patch fixes this not to use it when it's null, which becomes possible after the second patch. (This never happens in normal use, because glibc's sigaction call uses SA_RESTORER unless glibc detected the vDSO.) Signed-off-by:

people sometimes do crazy stuff like building really large static arrays into their kernels or building allyesconfig kernels. Give more space to the kernel and push modules up a bit: kernel has 512 MB and modules have 1.5 GB. Should be enough for a few years ;-) Signed-off-by: -
