pfn_to_page() and others need to access both memnode_shift and the very first bytes of memnodemap[]. If we force memnode_shift to be just before the memnodemap array, we can reduce the memory footprint to one cache line instead of two for most setups. This patch introduce a 'memnode' structure where shift and map[] are carefully placed. Signed-off-by:

arch/x86_64/kernel/aperture.c: The search for the AGP bridge has been extended to search for all the 256 buses instead of the first 32. This is required since on a some systems, the bridge may be located on a bus much farther than the first 32. By searching all 256 buses, we guarantee that the search succeeds on such systems. arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-gart.c: The search for the Northbridge is not limited to just bus 0 anymore. This is required because on certain systems, we may not find one on bus 0. Signed-off-by:

Have the GART_IOMMU help text specify that this is the hardware IOMMU in amd64 processors. This will be significant if/when other IOMMUs are added to the x86-64 architecture. :-) Also, note that the previous help text stated that IOMMU was needed for >3GB memory instead of >4GB. This is fixed in the newer version. Signed-off-by:

It was a failed experiment - all benchmarks done with it on both AMD and Intel showed it was a loss. That was probably because the store buffers of the CPUs for write combining traffic weren't large enough. Signed-off-by:

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be locked. o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31 locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for EOI. o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set. o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense. Signed-off-by:

When x86_64 timer init messages were changed to use apic verbosity levels, two messages were missed and one got the wrong level. This causes the last word of a suppressed message to print on a line by itself. Fix that so either the entire message prints or none of it does. Signed-off-by:

This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries. This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them in a way defined by the linker script. As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this, eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other things. I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel. Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times dramatically. Signed-off-by:

I tested it on a couple of chipsets and it worked everywhere so it should be ok as default for now. So far I haven't done the great purge of the useless old check_timer code yet though. Can be overwritten with enable_8254_timer in the worst case Signed-off-by:

ACPIv2 has an official but optional way to get a date >2100. Use it. But all the platforms I tested didn't seem to support it. But anyways the x86-64 kernel should be ready for the 22nd century now. Actually i shouldn't care about this because I will be dead by then @) Signed-off-by:

This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text section. I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel text. This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to be reordered. This patch puts these special functions into a separate section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly reordering the rest later. (So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by making the order of these functions explicit) Signed-off-by:

There are more and more cases where we need to know DMI information early to work around bugs. i386 already had early DMI scanning, but x86-64 didn't. Implement this now. This required some cleanup in the i386 code. Signed-off-by:

- Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other subsystems too. - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI, the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case. Signed-off-by:

In a micro-benchmark that stresses the pagefault path, the down_read_trylock on the mmap_sem showed up quite high on the profile. Turns out this lock is bouncing between cpus quite a bit and thus is cache-cold a lot. This patch prefetches the lock (for write) as early as possible (and before some other somewhat expensive operations). With this patch, the down_read_trylock basically fell out of the top of profile.
