So there is no need for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again and return BAD_APICID. Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent bad physical apic id).

Apparently not all versions of glibc and utilities treat an empty LC_ALL as nonexistent, causing error messages to be garbled. Instead, explicitly unexport it from the environment.

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable. But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

There are a number of common Unix constructs like character ranges in grep/sed/awk which don't work as expected with LC_COLLATE set to other than C. Similarly, set LC_CTYPE and LC_NUMERIC to C to avoid other nasty surprises. In order to make sure these actually take effect we also have to clear LC_ALL. Signed-off-by: H.

xsave_cntxt_init() does something like: cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out what features FP/SSE/.. etc are supported xsetbv(); // enable the features known to OS cpuid(0xd, ..); // find out the size of the context for features enabled Depending on what features get enabled in xsetbv(), value of the cpuid.eax=0xd.ecx=0.ebx changes correspondingly (representing the size of the context that is enabled). As we don't have volatile keyword for native_cpuid(), gcc 4.1.2 optimizes away the second cpuid and the kernel continues to use the cpuid information obtained before xsetbv(), ultimately leading to kernel crash on processors supporting more state than the legacy FP/SSE. Add "volatile" for native_cpuid(). Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> LKML-Reference: <1261009542.2745.55.camel@sbs-t61.sc.intel.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: H.

register_chrdev() hardcodes registering 256 minors, presumably to avoid breaking old drivers. However, we need to register enough minors so that we have all possible CPUs. checkpatch warns on this patch, but the patch is correct: NR_CPUS here is a static *upper bound* on the *maximum CPU index* (not *number of CPUs!*) and that is what we want.

The decompressors return error by calling a supplied error function, and/or by returning an error return value. The initramfs code, however, fails to check the exit code returned by the decompressor, and only checks the error status set by calling the error function. This patch adds a return code check and calls the error function.

The trivial malloc implementation used in the pre-boot environment by the decompressors returns a bad pointer on failure (falling through after calling error). This is doubly wrong - the callers expect malloc to return NULL on failure, second the error function is intended to be used by the decompressors to propagate errors to *their* callers. The decompressors have no access to any state set by the error function.

The instruction attribute table generator fails when run by mawk or original-awk: $ mawk -f arch/x86/tools/gen-insn-attr-x86.awk \ arch/x86/lib/x86-opcode-map.txt > /dev/null Semantic error at 240: Second IMM error $ echo $? 1 Line 240 contains "c8: ENTER Iw,Ib", which indicates that this instruction has two immediate operands, the second of which is one byte. The script loops through the immediate operands using a for loop. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee in awk that a for (variable in array) loop will return the indices in increasing order. Internally, both original-awk and mawk iterate over a hash table for this purpose, and both implementations happen to produce the index 2 before 1. The supposed second immediate operand is more than one byte wide, producing the error. So loop over the indices in increasing order instead. As a side-effect, with mawk this means the silly two-entry hash table never has to be built.

The commit f4780ca0 moves swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem(). It's supposed to fix a bug that the commit 75f1cdf1 introduced, we initialize SWIOTLB right after dma32_free_bootmem so we wrongly steal memory area allocated for GART with broken BIOS earlier. However, the above commit introduced another problem, which likely breaks machines with huge amount of memory. Such a box use the majority of DMA32_ZONE so there is no memory for swiotlb. With this patch, the x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are: 1. We set swiotlb to 1 in the case of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN && !no_iommu). If swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option, we go to the step 3 and finish (we don't try to detect IOMMUs). 2. We call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs. The detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the IOMMU initialization function (so we can avoid calling the initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly). 3. We initialize swiotlb (and set dma_ops to swiotlb_dma_ops) if swiotlb is set to 1. 4. If the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need swiotlb (e.g. the initialization is sucessful) then sets swiotlb to zero. 5. If we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb resource.

This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script, which currently applies to _end. Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections completely. This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns. This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this is basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have thus been well tested.

Add check if APIC is not disabled since thermal monitoring depends on it. As only apic gets disabled we should not try to install "thermal monitor" vector, print out that thermal monitoring is enabled and etc... Note that "Intel Correct Machine Check Interrupts" already has such a check. Also I decided to not add cpu_has_apic check into mcheck_intel_therm_init since even if it'll call apic_read on disabled apic -- it's safe here and allow us to save a few code bytes.

This fixes the following breakage of the commit 75f1cdf1: - GART systems that don't AGP with broken BIOS and more than 4GB memory are forced to use swiotlb. They can allocate aperture by hand and use GART. - GART systems without GAP must disable GART on shutdown. - swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option, gart_iommu_hole_init() is not called, so we disable GART early_gart_iommu_check().

The reason of removal, "replaced by allowdac and no dac combination" is incorrect. There is no way to do the same thing with "allowdac" and "nodac" combination. The usedac option enables us to stop via_no_dac() setting forbid_dac to 1. That is, someone who uses VIA bridges can use DAC with this option even if some of VIA bridges seem to be broken about DAC.

In nvram_write, first of all, correctly handle the case where the file pointer is already beyond the end; we should return EOF in that case. Second, make the logic a bit more explicit so that gcc can statically prove that the copy_from_user() is safe. Once the condition of the beyond-end filepointer is eliminated, the copy is safe but gcc can't prove it, causing build failures for i386 allyesconfig. Third, eliminate the entirely superfluous variable "len", and just use the passed-in variable "count" instead. Signed-off-by: H.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console. It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take about 84 minutes to clear the serial port. This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages which contain no additional information. Much of this information is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to a problem.

The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268. This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU msr structs which are used on the respective cores. Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by the callers of the MSR accessors. Cc: H.

Jens found the following crash/regression: [ 0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80 [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page and [ 0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE and bisected it to b24c2a92 ("x86: Move find_smp_config() earlier and avoid bootmem usage"). It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable, without reserving it. So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.
