blk_queue_start_tag() hand-coded searching for the first zero bit in the tag map. Replace it with find_first_zero_bit(). With this patch, blk_queue_star_tag() doesn't need to fill remains of tag map with 1, thus allowing it to work properly with the next remove_real_max_depth patch. Signed-off-by:

Rename user_mode to user_mode_vm and add a user_mode macro similar to the x86-64 one. This is useful for Xen because the linux xen kernel does not runs on the same priviledge that a vanilla linux kernel, and with this we just need to redefine user_mode(). Signed-off-by:

I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices. Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the pin is used or not. It is expected that each pin can potentually be engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot. However, this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset. It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system with more that 9 I/O APICs. The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC. It does not resolve the problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large number of devices. I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system :). The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal structures or interrupt model/implementation. The patch works for both i386 and x86_64 archs. It works with MSIs just fine, and should not intervene with implementations like shared vectors, when they get worked out and incorporated. To illustrate, below is the interrupt distribution for 2-cell ES7000 with 20 I/O APICs, and an Ethernet card in the last slot, which should be eth1 and which was not configured because its IRQ exceeded allowable number (it actially turned out huge - 480!): zorro-tb2:~ # cat /proc/interrupts CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 CPU4 CPU5 CPU6 CPU7 0: 65716 30012 30007 30002 30009 30010 30010 30010 IO-APIC-edge timer 4: 373 0 725 280 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge serial 8: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge rtc 9: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level acpi 14: 39 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-edge ide0 16: 108 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb1 18: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb3 19: 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level uhci_hcd:usb2 23: 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level ehci_hcd:usb4 96: 4240 397 18 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 97: 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level aic7xxx 192: 847 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 IO-APIC-level eth0 NMI: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 LOC: 273423 274528 272829 274228 274092 273761 273827 273694 ERR: 7 MIS: 0 Even though the system doesn't have that many devices, some don't get enabled only because of IRQ numbering model.

This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386. This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there. But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way. The signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the handler setup. When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a SIGSEGV. But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will fault again and iterate. This patch fixes the problem by checking whether signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so. This copies what was done in the ppc code. I think all architectures' signal handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change. Signed-off-by:

Currently the x86-64 HPET code assumes the entire HPET implementation from the spec is present. This breaks on boxes that do not implement the optional legacy timer replacement functionality portion of the spec. This patch fixes this issue, allowing x86-64 systems that cannot use the HPET for the timer interrupt and RTC to still use the HPET as a time source. I've tested this patch on a system systems without HPET, with HPET but without legacy timer replacement, as well as HPET with legacy timer replacement. This version adds a minor check to cap the HPET counter value in gettimeoffset_hpet to avoid possible time inconsistencies. Please ignore the A2 version I sent to you earlier. Acked-by:

This patch is per Andi's request to remove NO_IOAPIC_CHECK from genapic and use heuristics to prevent unique I/O APIC ID check for systems that don't need it. The patch disables unique I/O APIC ID check for Xeon-based and other platforms that don't use serial APIC bus for interrupt delivery. Andi stated that AMD systems don't need unique IO_APIC_IDs either. Signed-off-by:

Define pcibus_to_node to be able to figure out which NUMA node contains a given PCI device. This defines pcibus_to_node(bus) in include/linux/topology.h and adjusts the macros for i386 and x86_64 that already provided a way to determine the cpumask of a pci device. x86_64 was changed to not build an array of cpumasks anymore. Instead an array of nodes is build which can be used to generate the cpumask via node_to_cpumask. Signed-off-by:

Issue: Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs (System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6 kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things like legacy keyboard emulation). Description: The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like (0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy (1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough) (2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1) (3) Note down current tsc (tsc1) (4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy (5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine loops_per_jiffy estimate Consider the following cases Case 1: If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified interval). Case 2: If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic(). Solution: The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to user. Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine. Signed-off-by:

The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this). This allows you to have e.g. arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your cross target. It also prevents the script picking up on the host /sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH set). I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when cross compiling anyway. If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes. I only use ARM and i386 myself but I figured it couldn't hurt to do the whole lot. I've cc'd those who I hope are the arch maintainers for files that I've touched. Signed-off-by:Ian Campbell <icampbell@arcom.com> Signed-off-by:

This patch adds in the necessary support for sparsemem such that x86-64 kernels may use sparsemem as an alternative to discontigmem for NUMA kernels. Note that this does no preclude one from continuing to build NUMA kernels using discontigmem, but merely allows the option to build NUMA kernels with sparsemem. Interestingly, the use of sparsemem in lieu of discontigmem in NUMA kernels results in reduced text size for otherwise equivalent kernels as shown in the example builds below: text data bss dec hex filename 2371036 765884 1237108 4374028 42be0c vmlinux.discontig 2366549 776484 1302772 4445805 43d66d vmlinux.sparse Signed-off-by:

In order to use the alternative sparsemem implmentation for NUMA kernels, we need to reorganize the config options. This patch effectively abstracts out the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM options to CONFIG_NUMA in most cases. Thus, the discontigmem implementation may be employed as always, but the sparsemem implementation may be used alternatively. Signed-off-by:
