Change the size of APICIDs from u8 to u16. This partially supports the new x2apic mode that will be present on future processor chips. (Chips actually support 32-bit APICIDs, but that change is more intrusive. Supporting 16-bit is sufficient for now). Signed-off-by:
Jack Steiner <steiner@sgi.com> I've included just the partial change from u8 to u16 apicids. The remaining x2apic changes will be in a separate patch. In addition, the fake_node_to_pxm_map[] and fake_apicid_to_node[] tables have been moved from local data to the __initdata section reducing stack pressure when MAX_NUMNODES and MAX_LOCAL_APIC are increased in size.

ioport unification was broken for 32-bit; it was missing the acutal pushf/popf EFLAGS manipulation (set_iopl_mask()). Also, use of volatile looks like leftover cruft.

For K8 system: 4G RAM with memory hole remapping enabled, or more than 4G RAM installed. when try to use kexec second kernel, and the first doesn't include gart_shutdown. the second kernel could have different aper position than the first kernel. and second kernel could use that hole as RAM that is still used by GART set by the first kernel. esp. when try to kexec 2.6.24 with sparse mem enable from previous kernel (from RHEL 5 or SLES 10). the new kernel will use aper by GART (set by first kernel) for vmemmap. and after new kernel setting one new GART. the position will be real RAM. the _mapcount set is lost.

The 32 bit x86 tree has a very useful feature that prints the Code: line for the code even before the trapping instrution (and the start of the trapping instruction is then denoted with a <>). Unfortunately, the 64 bit x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder than needed. This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has (including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking) __get_user.

During the work on the x86 32 and 64 bit backtrace code I found it useful to have a simple test module to test a process and irq context backtrace. Since the existing backtrace code was buggy, I figure it might be useful to have such a test module in the kernel so that maybe we can even detect such bugs earlier..

x86 32 bit already has this feature: This patch uses the stack frames with frame pointer into an exact stack trace, by following the frame pointer. This only affects kernels built with the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER config option enabled, and greatly reduces the amount of noise in oopses. This code uses the traditional method of doing backtraces, but if it finds a valid frame pointer chain, will use that to show which parts of the backtrace are reliable and which parts are not Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

This patch turns the x86 64 bit HANDLE_STACK macro in the backtrace code into a function, just like 32 bit has. This is needed pre work in order to get exact backtraces for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to work. The function and it's arguments are not the same as 32 bit; due to the exception/interrupt stack way of x86-64 there are a few differences. This patch should not have any behavior changes, only code movement. Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne. Signed-off-by:

Right now, we take the stack pointer early during the backtrace path, but only calculate bp several functions deep later, making it hard to reconcile the stack and bp backtraces (as well as showing several internal backtrace functions on the stack with bp based backtracing). This patch moves the bp taking to the same place we take the stack pointer; sadly this ripples through several layers of the back tracing stack, but it's not all that bad in the end I hope.

The 32 bit Frame Pointer backtracer code checks if the EBP is valid to do a backtrace; however currently on a failure it just gives up and prints nothing. That's not very nice; we can do better and still print a decent backtrace. This patch changes the backtracer to use the regular backtracing algorithm at the same time as the EBP backtracer; the EBP backtracer is basically used to figure out which part of the backtrace are reliable vs those which are likely to be noise.

For enhancing the 32 bit EBP based backtracer, I need the capability for the backtracer to tell it's customer that an entry is either reliable or unreliable, and the backtrace printing code then needs to print the unreliable ones slightly different. This patch adds the basic capability, the next patch will add a user of this capability. Signed-off-by:

The current x86 32 bit FRAME_POINTER chasing code has a nasty bug in that the EBP tracer doesn't actually update the value of EBP it is tracing, so that the code doesn't actually switch to the irq stack properly. The result is a truncated backtrace: WARNING: at timeroops.c:8 kerneloops_regression_test() (Not tainted) Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.24-0.77.rc4.git4.fc9 #1 [<c040649a>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x2f [<c0406d41>] show_trace+0x12/0x14 [<c0407061>] dump_stack+0x6c/0x72 [<e0258049>] kerneloops_regression_test+0x44/0x46 [timeroops] [<c04371ac>] run_timer_softirq+0x127/0x18f [<c0434685>] __do_softirq+0x78/0xff [<c0407759>] do_softirq+0x74/0xf7 ======================= This patch fixes the code to update EBP properly, and to check the EIP before printing (as the non-framepointer backtracer does) so that the same test backtrace now looks like this: WARNING: at timeroops.c:8 kerneloops_regression_test() Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 2.6.24-rc7 #4 [<c0405d17>] show_trace_log_lvl+0x1a/0x2f [<c0406681>] show_trace+0x12/0x14 [<c0406ef2>] dump_stack+0x6a/0x70 [<e01f6040>] kerneloops_regression_test+0x3b/0x3d [timeroops] [<c0426f07>] run_timer_softirq+0x11b/0x17c [<c04243ac>] __do_softirq+0x42/0x94 [<c040704c>] do_softirq+0x50/0xb6 [<c04242a9>] irq_exit+0x37/0x67 [<c040714c>] do_IRQ+0x9a/0xaf [<c04057da>] common_interrupt+0x2e/0x34 [<c05807fe>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x52/0x78 [<c04034f3>] cpu_idle+0x46/0x60 [<c05fbbd3>] rest_init+0x43/0x45 [<c070aa3d>] start_kernel+0x279/0x27f ======================= This shows that the backtrace goes all the way down to user context now.

The GDT_ENTRY() macro in pm.c would incorrectly cut the bottom 8 bits off the base. We didn't define any bases with the bottom 8 bits nonzero, so it is a non-manifest bug, but it's still a bug.

On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message. Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda) There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too. This patch is adds an informational message on early boot. CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m) so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays. I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end- user to find out, what`s the issue. For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset. This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

This patch extends the early commandline parser to support boolean options. The current version in mainline only supports parsing "option=arg" value pairs. With this it should be easy making other messages like "Uncompressing kernel" honour the "quiet" parameter, too. Signed-off-by:

Make the transition to protected mode more paranoid by having back-to-back near jump (to synchronize the 386/486 prefetch queue) and far jump (to set up the code segment.) While we're at it, zero as many registers as practical (for future expandability of the 32-bit entry interface) and enter 32-bit mode with a valid stack. Note that the 32-bit code cannot rely on this stack, or we'll break all other existing users of the 32-bit entrypoint, but it may make debugging hacks easier to write. Signed-off-by:
