The real vsyscall .text addresses are not mapped when the alternative() replacement runs early, so use some black magic to access them using the direct mapping. Signed-off-by:

o Apic id is in most significant 8 bits of APIC_ID register. Current code is trying to write apic id to least significant 8 bits. This patch fixes it. o This fix enables booting uni kdump capture kernel on a cpu with non-zero apic id. Signed-off-by:

AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now. There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now. And various other changes and cleanups. Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks needs more testing. This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this patch: - introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU). - gets rid of: if (swiotlb) return swiotlb_xxx(); - PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

Broken BIOS on Iwill 8way systems reports these and it causes the bootmem allocator to crash. Add a sanity check if all the PXMs in the SRAT table cover all memory as reported by e820. If the sanity check fails the SRAT is rejected and the code will fall back to discover the NUMA topology using the K8 northbridge registers when applicable. Signed-off-by:

This adds a new notifier chain that is called with IDLE_START when a CPU goes idle and IDLE_END when it goes out of idle. The context can be idle thread or interrupt context. Since we cannot rely on MONITOR/MWAIT existing the idle end check currently has to be done in all interrupt handlers. They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation. They have a variety of applications: - They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ - They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time in idle when performance counters don't tick. - They can be used for better C state management in ACPI - They could be used for microstate accounting. This is just infrastructure so far, no users. Signed-off-by:

Whenever we see that a CPU is capable of C3 (during ACPI cstate init), we disable local APIC timer and switch to using a broadcast from external timer interrupt (IRQ 0). Patch below adds the code for x86_64. Signed-off-by:

Whenever we see that a CPU is capable of C3 (during ACPI cstate init), we disable local APIC timer and switch to using a broadcast from external timer interrupt (IRQ 0). This is needed because Intel CPUs stop the local APIC timer in C3. This is currently only enabled for Intel CPUs. Patch below adds the code for i386 and also the ACPI hunk. Signed-off-by:

Remove the finer control of local APIC timer. We cannot provide a sub-jiffy control like this when we use broadcast from external timer in place of local APIC. Instead of removing this only on systems that may end up using broadcast from external timer (due to C3), I am going the "I'm feeling lucky" way to remove this fully. Basically, I am not sure about usefulness of this code today. Few other architectures also don't seem to support this today. If you are using profiling and fine grained control and don't like this going away in normal case, yell at me right now. Signed-off-by:

I would like to throw out a suggestion for a possible change in the way that the debug register traps are handled in do_debug() when the trap occurs in kernel-mode. In the x86_64 version of do_debug(), the code will skip around sending a SIGTRAP to the current task if the trap occurred while in kernel mode. On the i386-side of things, if the access happens to occur in kernel mode (say during a read(2) of user's buffer that matches the address of a debug register trap), then the do_debug() routine for i386 will go ahead and call send_sigtrap() and send the SIGTRAP signal. The send_sigtrap() code will also set the info.si_addr to NULL in this case (even though I don't understand why, since the SIGTRAP siginfo processing doesn't use the si_addr field...). So I would like to suggest that the x86_64 do_debug() routine also follow this type of behavior and have it go ahead and send the SIGTRAP signal to the current task, even if the debug register trap happens to have occurred in kernel mode. I have taken a stab at a patch for this change below. (It includes the i386-ish change for setting si_addr to NULL when the trap occurred in kernel mode.) It seems like a useful feature to be able to 'watch' a user location that might also be modified in the kernel via a system service call, and have the debugger report that information back to the user, rather than to just silently ignore the trap. Additionally, I realize that users that pull in a kernel debugger such as KGDB into their kernel might want to remove this change below when they add in KGDB support. However, they could alternatively look at the current task's thread.debugreg[] values to see if the trap occurred due to KGDB or instead because of a user-space debugger trap, and still honor the user SIGTRAP processing (instead of the KGDB breakpoint processing) if the trap matches up with the thread.debugreg[] registers.

This might help on distributions that use a 32bit biarch compiler. First pass -m64 by default. Secondly add some more .code32s because at least the Ubuntu biarch 32bit as called by gcc doesn't seem to handle -m64 -m32 as generated by the Makefile without such assistance. And finally make sure the linker script can be preprocessed with a 32bit cpp. Signed-off-by:

The attempt to avoid overflow in __delay caused varying precision on different CPUs depending on differences in the CPU speed. We should be able to do this multiplication with out overflowing provided the cpu is running at less than about 128 GHz. xloops < 20000 * 0x10c6. loops_per_jiffy * HZ <= cpu_clock_speed. So if the cpu clock speed < 2^64/(20000 * 0x10c6) = 2^64/ 51E6CC0 < 2^64/2^27 = 2^37 = 128G we will not overflow the calculation. Signed-off-by:

A lot of Opteron BIOS just pass 10 in all SLIT entries (10 is the normalized unit). This is actually worse than the default heuristic because it leads to pci_distance not knowing the difference between local and remote nodes anymore. This messes up some NUMA heuristics in generic code. In this case it's better to fall back to the default heuristic which just does nodea == nodeb ? 10 : 20. This patch does some basic sanity checking on the SLIT and only accepts the SLIT when it passes. Invariants enforced are: - Node to itself shall be 10 - Any other distance shouldn't be 10 - Distances smaller than 10 are illegal Signed-off-by:

The separation of the rex64 prefix (on fxsave/fxrstor) by way of using a semicolon resulted in the prefix not always taking effect (because when extended registers are needed for addressing, another rex prefix would have been generated by the compiler), thus (depending on the build) resulting in eventually getting 32-bit saves and/or restores.

Some people need it now on 64bit so reuse the i386 code for x86-64. This will be also useful for future bug workarounds. It is a bit simplified there because there is no need to do it very early on x86-64. This means it doesn't need early ioremap et.al. We run it as a core initcall right now. I hope it's not needed for early setup. I added a general CONFIG_DMI symbol in case IA64 or someone else wants to reuse the code later too. Signed-off-by:
