Inside a KVM virtual machine the MTRRs are usually blank. This confuses Linux and causes a warning message at boot. This patch removes that warning message when running Linux as a KVM guest. Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

based on a report from Arne Georg Gleditsch about user-space apps misbehaving after toggling /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64, a review of the code revealed that the "NOP patching" done there is fundamentally unsafe for a number of reasons: 1) the patching code runs without synchronizing other CPUs 2) it inserts NOPs even if there is no clock source which provides vread 3) when the clock source changes to one without vread we run in exactly the same problem as in #2 4) if nobody toggles the proc entry from 1 to 0 and to 1 again, then the syscall is not patched out as a result it is possible to break user-space via this patching. The only safe thing for now is to remove the patching. This code was broken since v2.6.21.

The KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE constant was mis-named, as we not only map the kernel text but data, bss and init sections as well. That name led me on the wrong path with the KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE regression, because i knew how big of _text_ my images have and i knew about the 40 MB "text" limit so i wrongly thought to be on the safe side of the 40 MB limit with my 29 MB of text, while the total image size was slightly above 40 MB.

recently the 64-bit allyesconfig bzImage kernel started spontaneously rebooting during early bootup. after a few fun hours spent with early init debugging, it turns out that we've got this rather annoying limit on the size of the kernel image: #define KERNEL_TEXT_SIZE (40*1024*1024) which limit my vmlinux just happened to pass: text data bss dec hex filename 29703744 4222751 8646224c 42572719 2899baf vmlinux 40 MB is 42572719 bytes, so my vmlinux was just 1.5% above this limit :-/ So it happily crashed right in head_64.S, which - as we all know - is the most debuggable code in the whole architecture ;-) So increase the limit to allow an up to 128MB kernel image to be mapped. (should anyone be that crazy or lazy) We have a full 4K of pagetable (level2_kernel_pgt) allocated for these mappings already, so there's no RAM overhead and the limit was rather pointless and arbitrary.

The proper way to terminate the e820 chain is with %ebx == 0 on the last legitimate memory block. However, several BIOSes don't do that and instead return error (CF = 1) when trying to read off the end of the list. For this error return, %eax doesn't necessarily return the SMAP signature -- correctly so, since %ah should contain an error code in this case. To deal with some particularly broken BIOSes, we clear the entire e820 chain if the SMAP signature is missing in the middle, indicating a plain insane e820 implementation. However, we need to make the test for CF = 1 before the SMAP check. This fixes at least one HP laptop (nc6400) for which none of the memory-probing methods (e820, e801, 88) functioned fully according to spec. Signed-off-by: H.

P6_NOPs are definitely not supported on some VIA CPUs, and possibly (unverified) on AMD K7s. It is also the only thing that prevents a 686 kernel from running on Transmeta TM3x00/5x00 (Crusoe) series. The performance benefit over generic NOPs is very small, so when building for generic consumption, avoid using them. Signed-off-by: H.

We have been promoting Transmeta TM3x00/TM5x00 chips to i686-class based on the notion that they contain all the user-space visible features of an i686-class chip. However, this is not actually true: they lack the EA-taking long NOPs (0F 1F /0). Since this is a userspace-visible incompatibility, downgrade these CPUs to the manufacturer-defined i586 level.

Hi all, Beginning from commits close to v2.6.25-rc2, running lguest always oopses the host kernel. Oops is at [1]. Bisection led to the following commit: commit 37cc8d7f x86/early_ioremap: don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir At the early stages of boot, before the kernel pagetable has been fully initialized, a Xen kernel will still be running off the Xen-provided pagetables rather than swapper_pg_dir[]. Therefore, readback cr3 to determine the base of the pagetable rather than assuming swapper_pg_dir[]. static inline pmd_t * __init early_ioremap_pmd(unsigned long addr) { - pgd_t *pgd = &swapper_pg_dir[pgd_index(addr)]; + /* Don't assume we're using swapper_pg_dir at this point */ + pgd_t *base = __va(read_cr3()); + pgd_t *pgd = &base[pgd_index(addr)]; pud_t *pud = pud_offset(pgd, addr); pmd_t *pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr); Trying to analyze the problem, it seems on the guest side of lguest, %cr3 has a different value from &swapper_pg-dir (which is AFAIK fine on a pravirt guest): Putting some debugging messages in early_ioremap_pmd: /* Appears 3 times */ [ 0.000000] *************************** [ 0.000000] __va(%cr3) = c0000000, &swapper_pg_dir = c02cc000 [ 0.000000] *************************** After 8 hours of debugging and staring on lguest code, I noticed something strange in paravirt_ops->set_pmd hypercall invocation: static void lguest_set_pmd(pmd_t *pmdp, pmd_t pmdval) { *pmdp = pmdval; lazy_hcall(LHCALL_SET_PMD, __pa(pmdp)&PAGE_MASK, (__pa(pmdp)&(PAGE_SIZE-1))/4, 0); } The first hcall parameter is global pgdir which looks fine. The second parameter is the pmd index in the pgdir which is suspectful. AFAIK, calculating the index of pmd does not need a divisoin over four. Removing the division made lguest work fine again . Patch is at [2]. I am not sure why the division over four existed in the first place. It seems bogus, maybe the Xen patch just made the problem appear ? [2]: The patch: [PATCH] lguest: fix pgdir pmd index cacluation Remove an error in index calculation which leads to removing a not existing shadow page table (leading to a Null dereference).

This behavior has been confirmed by Marvell with a SATA analyzer. The Marvell port-multiplier apparently likes to see clean HOB information when accessing PMP registers. Since sata_mv uses PIO shadow register access, this doesn't happen automatically, as it might in a more purely FIS-based driver (eg. ahci). One way to fix this is to flag these commands with ATA_TFLAG_LBA48, forcing libata to write out the HOB fields with known (zero) values.

Back in 2.6.17-rc2, a libata module parameter was added for atapi_dmadir. That's nice, but most SATA devices which need it will tell us about it in their IDENTIFY PACKET response, as bit-15 of word-62 of the returned data (as per ATA7, ATA8 specifications). So for those which specify it, we should automatically use the DMADIR bit. Otherwise, disc writing will fail by default on many SATA-ATAPI drives. This patch adds ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR and make ata_dev_configure() set it if atapi_dmadir is set or identify data indicates DMADIR is necessary. atapi_xlat() is converted to check ATA_DFLAG_DMADIR before setting DMADIR.
