Andi Kleen 151f8cc116 [PATCH] Remove safe_smp_processor_id()
And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id.  The function
was originally added to get some basic oops information out even
if the GS register was corrupted. However that didn't
work for some anymore because printk is needed to print the oops
and it uses smp_processor_id() already. Also GS register corruptions
are not particularly common anymore.

This also helps the Xen port which would otherwise need to
do this in a special way because it can't access the local APIC.

Andi Kleen dbf9272e86 [PATCH] Don't force reserve the 640k-1MB range
From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area.
That was needed on some old systems.

But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems
and mark all areas that are not memory correctly.

This patch will allow to use the real memory in there.

Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to
try. So far I'm optimistic.

Arjan van de Ven e07e23e1fd [PATCH] non lazy "sleazy" fpu implementation
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily.  This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive
save/restore all the time).  However for very frequent FPU users...  you
take an extra trap every context switch.

The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.  If the app indeed uses the FPU, the
trap is avoided.  (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the
previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously).

After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until
there are 5 consecutive ones again).  The reason for this is to give apps
that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some
time.

Eric W. Biederman ba4d40bb5c [PATCH] Auto size the per cpu area.
Now for a completely different but trivial approach.
I just boot tested it with 255 CPUS and everything worked.

Currently everything (except module data) we place in
the per cpu area we know about at compile time.  So
instead of allocating a fixed size for the per_cpu area
allocate the number of bytes we need plus a fixed constant
for to be used for modules.

It isn't perfect but it is much less of a pain to
work with than what we are doing now.

Dimitri Sivanich cbf9b4bb76 [PATCH] X86_64 monotonic_clock goes backwards
I've noticed some erratic behavior while testing the X86_64 version
of monotonic_clock().

While spinning in a loop reading monotonic clock values (pinned to a
single cpu) I noticed that the difference between subsequent values
occasionally went negative (time going backwards).

I found that in the following code:
                this_offset = get_cycles_sync();
                /* FIXME: 1000 or 1000000? */
-->             offset = (this_offset - last_offset)*1000 / cpu_khz;
        }
        return base + offset;

the offset sometimes turns out to be 0, even though
this_offset > last_offset.

+Added fix From: Toyo Abe <toyoa@mvista.com>

The x86_64-mm-monotonic-clock.patch in 2.6.18-rc4-mm2 made a change to
the updating of monotonic_base. It now uses cycles_2_ns().

I suggest that a set_cyc2ns_scale() should be done prior to the setup_irq().
Because cycles_2_ns() can be called from the timer ISR right after the irq0
is enabled.

Prasanna S.P d28c4393a7 [PATCH] x86: error_code is not safe for kprobes
This patch moves the entry.S:error_entry to .kprobes.text section,
since code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to entry.S::error_entry,
that must be marked unsafe as well.
This patch also moves all the ".previous.text" asm directives to ".previous"
for kprobes section.

AK: Following a similar i386 patch from Chuck Ebbert
AK: Also merged Jeremy's fix in.

+From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org>

KPROBE_ENTRY does a .section .kprobes.text, and expects its users to
do a .previous at the end of the function.

Unfortunately, if any code within the function switches sections, for
example .fixup, then the .previous ends up putting all subsequent code
into .fixup.  Worse, any subsequent .fixup code gets intermingled with
the code its supposed to be fixing (which is also in .fixup).  It's
surprising this didn't cause more havok.

The fix is to use .pushsection/.popsection, so this stuff nests
properly.  A further cleanup would be to get rid of all
.section/.previous pairs, since they're inherently fragile.

+From: Chuck Ebbert <76306.1226@compuserve.com>

Because code marked unsafe for kprobes jumps directly to
entry.S::error_code, that must be marked unsafe as well.
The easiest way to do that is to move the page fault entry
point to just before error_code and let it inherit the same
section.

Also moved all the ".previous" asm directives for kprobes
sections to column 1 and removed ".text" from them.

Andi Kleen c0b766f13d [PATCH] Merge stacktrace and show_trace
This unifies the standard backtracer and the new stacktrace
in memory backtracer. The standard one is converted to use callbacks
and then reimplement stacktrace using new callbacks.

The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder
and avoid false positives in many cases.

I kept it simple to make sure the standard backtracer stays reliable.

Since we only support PCI and ISA legacy busses now there is no need to
have an full array with checking.

Andi Kleen dfa4698c50 [PATCH] Move early chipset quirks out to new file
They did not really belong into io_apic.c. Move them into a new file
and clean it up a bit.

Also remove outdated ATI quirk that was obsolete,

Andi Kleen edd9652296 [PATCH] Remove MPS table APIC renumbering
The MPS table specification says that the operating system should
renumber the IO-APICs following the table as needed.  However in
ACPI this is not allowed or neeeded and all x86-64 systems are ACPI
compliant.

The code was already disabled on some systems because it caused
problems there. Remove it completely now.

Andi Kleen eea0e11c1f [PATCH] Factor out common io apic routing entry access
The IO APIC code had lots of duplicated code to read/write 64bit
routing entries into the IO-APIC. Factor this out int common read/write
functions

In a few cases the IO APIC lock is taken more often now, but this
isn't a problem because it's all initialization/shutdown only
slow path code.

Andi Kleen a8fcf1a24a [PATCH] Remove obsolete PIC mode
PIC mode is an outdated way to drive the APICs that was used on
some early MP boards. It is not supported in the ACPI model.

It is unlikely to be ever configured by any x86-64 system

Remove it thus.
