Resend using different mail client Changes to the last version: - split implementation into two layers: ds/bts and ptrace - renamed TIF's - save/restore ds save area msr in __switch_to_xtra() - make block-stepping only look at BTF bit Signed-off-by:

This removes the single-step code from ptrace_32.c and uses the step.c code shared with the 64-bit kernel. The two versions of the code were nearly identical already, so the shared code has only a couple of simple #ifdef's. Signed-off-by:

This consolidates the four different places that implemented the same encoding magic for the GDT-slot 32-bit TLS support. The old tls32.c was renamed and is now only slightly modified to be the shared implementation. Signed-off-by:

This moves arch/x86/kernel/sysenter_32.c to arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.c, keeping all the code relating only to vDSO magic in the vdso/ subdirectory. This is a pure renaming, but it paves the way to consolidating the code for dealing with 32-bit vDSOs across CONFIG_X86_32 and CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION. Signed-off-by:

This makes the i386 kernel use the new vDSO build in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/ to replace the old one from arch/x86/kernel/. Signed-off-by:

This moves the i386 vDSO sources into arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/, a new directory. This patch is a pure renaming, but paves the way for consolidating the vDSO build logic. Signed-off-by:

The mach-default/mach_time.h code inline is moved to arch/x86/kernel/rtc.c and the header files are adjusted. Shrink the 3 dozen includes to the ones we really need. Signed-off-by:

x86: provide a DMI based port 0x80 I/O delay override. Certain (HP) laptops experience trouble from our port 0x80 I/O delay writes. This patch provides for a DMI based switch to the "alternate diagnostic port" 0xed (as used by some BIOSes as well) for these. David P. Reed confirmed that port 0xed works for him and provides a proper delay. The symptoms of _not_ working are a hanging machine, with "hwclock" use being a direct trigger. Earlier versions of this attempted to simply use udelay(2), with the 2 being a value tested to be a nicely conservative upper-bound with help from many on the linux-kernel mailinglist but that approach has two problems. First, pre-loops_per_jiffy calibration (which is post PIT init while some implementations of the PIT are actually one of the historically problematic devices that need the delay) udelay() isn't particularly well-defined. We could initialise loops_per_jiffy conservatively (and based on CPU family so as to not unduly delay old machines) which would sort of work, but... Second, delaying isn't the only effect that a write to port 0x80 has. It's also a PCI posting barrier which some devices may be explicitly or implicitly relying on. Alan Cox did a survey and found evidence that additionally some drivers may be racy on SMP without the bus locking outb. Switching to an inb() makes the timing too unpredictable and as such, this DMI based switch should be the safest approach for now. Any more invasive changes should get more rigid testing first. It's moreover only very few machines with the problem and a DMI based hack seems to fit that situation. This also introduces a command-line parameter "io_delay" to override the DMI based choice again: io_delay=<standard|alternate> where "standard" means using the standard port 0x80 and "alternate" port 0xed. This retains the udelay method as a config (CONFIG_UDELAY_IO_DELAY) and command-line ("io_delay=udelay") choice for testing purposes as well. This does not change the io_delay() in the boot code which is using the same port 0x80 I/O delay but those do not appear to be a problem as David P. Reed reported the problem was already gone after using the udelay version. He moreover reported that booting with "acpi=off" also fixed things and seeing as how ACPI isn't touched until after this DMI based I/O port switch I believe it's safe to leave the ones in the boot code be. The DMI strings from David's HP Pavilion dv9000z are in there already and we need to get/verify the DMI info from other machines with the problem, notably the HP Pavilion dv6000z. This patch is partly based on earlier patches from Pavel Machek and David P. Reed. Signed-off-by:Rene Herman <rene.herman@gmail.com> Signed-off-by:

For x86 ARCH may say i386 or x86_64 and soon x86. Rely on CONFIG_X64_32 to select between 32/64 or just hardcode the value as appropriate. Signed-off-by:Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" <hpa@zytor.com>

This adds support for Multi-Function General Purpose Timers. It detects the available timers during southbridge init, and provides an API for allocating and setting the timers. They're higher resolution than the standard PIT, so the MFGPTs come in handy for quite a few things. Note that we never clobber the timers that the BIOS might have opted to use; we just check for unused timers. Signed-off-by:
