This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.
However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.

apic_wait_icr_idle looks like this:
static __inline__ void apic_wait_icr_idle(void)
{
while (apic_read(APIC_ICR) & APIC_ICR_BUSY)
cpu_relax();
}
The busy loop in this function would not be problematic if the
corresponding status bit in the ICR were always updated, but that does
not seem to be the case under certain crash scenarios. Kdump uses an IPI
to stop the other CPUs in the event of a crash, but when any of the
other CPUs are locked-up inside the NMI handler the CPU that sends the
IPI will end up looping forever in the ICR check, effectively
hard-locking the whole system.
Quoting from Intel's "MultiProcessor Specification" (Version 1.4), B-3:
"A local APIC unit indicates successful dispatch of an IPI by
resetting the Delivery Status bit in the Interrupt Command
Register (ICR). The operating system polls the delivery status
bit after sending an INIT or STARTUP IPI until the command has
been dispatched.
A period of 20 microseconds should be sufficient for IPI dispatch
to complete under normal operating conditions. If the IPI is not
successfully dispatched, the operating system can abort the
command. Alternatively, the operating system can retry the IPI by
writing the lower 32-bit double word of the ICR. This âtime-outâ
mechanism can be implemented through an external interrupt, if
interrupts are enabled on the processor, or through execution of
an instruction or time-stamp counter spin loop."
Intel's documentation suggests the implementation of a time-out
mechanism, which, by the way, is already being open-coded in some parts
of the kernel that tinker with ICR.
Create a apic_wait_icr_idle replacement that implements the time-out
mechanism and that can be used to solve the aforementioned problem.

Applied fix by Andew Morton:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'.
AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of
system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across
all processors in Multi-Processing Environments.
Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2):
7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments
"In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must
characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical
values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here)
"Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity.
Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors
to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to
initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors."
Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the
BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors,
but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed
after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary
processor, is not handled yet.
In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux
with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init()
did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the
time when that secondary processors is actually booted,
causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors.
Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the
BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs
of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode.
The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI
code runs acpi_enable().
Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in
the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary
processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses
at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot
processor before new secondary processors are started. When the
secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their
fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs.
If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state
as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.
Possible TODOs:
*) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested
with this patch.
*) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up,
then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to
mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and mtrr_save_state() would not be
needed.
That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or
at least a test on a >2 CPU machine.
*) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this
time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all
processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch,
but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so
far which would require this.

In this current implementation which is used in other patches,
mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() accepts a dummy void pointer because
in the current implementation of one of these patches, this
function may be called from smp_call_function_single() which
requires that this function takes a void pointer argument.
This function calls get_fixed_ranges(), passing mtrr_state.fixed_ranges
which is the element of the static struct which stores our current
backup of the fixed-range MTRR values which all CPUs shall be
using.
Because mtrr_save_fixed_ranges calls get_fixed_ranges after
kernel initialisation time, __init needs to be removed from
the declaration of get_fixed_ranges().
If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_fixed_ranges
as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.

arch_dup_mmap, which is called when a new mmap is created at fork
arch_exit_mmap, which is called when the last process reference to an
mm is dropped, which typically happens on exit and exec.
The third hook is activate_mm, which is called from the arch-specific

Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes. These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.
The old command-line option is still supported:
numa=fake=32 gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
actual machine.
But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
the rest of system memory to a sixth node.
The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.
Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range. The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate. These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.
Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

- Performance.
- For relocatable kernels, page tables are updated based on difference
between compile time address and load time physical address.
This difference should be multiple of 2MB as kernel text and data
is mapped using 2MB pages and PMD should be pointing to a 2MB
aligned address. Life is simpler if both compile time and load time
kernel addresses are 2MB aligned.

This patch modifies the x86_64 kernel so that it can be loaded and run
at any 2M aligned address, below 512G. The technique used is to
compile the decompressor with -fPIC and modify it so the decompressor
is fully relocatable. For the main kernel the page tables are
modified so the kernel remains at the same virtual address. In
addition a variable phys_base is kept that holds the physical address
the kernel is loaded at. __pa_symbol is modified to add that when
we take the address of a kernel symbol.
When loaded with a normal bootloader the decompressor will decompress
the kernel to 2M and it will run there. This both ensures the
relocation code is always working, and makes it easier to use 2M
pages for the kernel and the cpu.

Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.
__pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
spaces. This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
__pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
the address.
There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
__pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.
Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
__pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one. A little of
it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
instead of recalculating it several times.
swapper_pgd is now NULL. leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd. The
physical address changed.
Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization. So this
should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
kernel.
As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
for anything I missed. But it works for me (tm).

Now that network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
SOL_SOCKET sockopt SO_TIMESTAMPNS.
This command is similar to SO_TIMESTAMP, but permits transmission of
a 'timespec struct' instead of a 'timeval struct' control message.
(nanosecond resolution instead of microsecond)
Control message is labelled SCM_TIMESTAMPNS instead of SCM_TIMESTAMP
A socket cannot mix SO_TIMESTAMP and SO_TIMESTAMPNS : the two modes are
mutually exclusive.
sock_recv_timestamp() became too big to be fully inlined so I added a
__sock_recv_timestamp() helper function.

Prior to commit 95492e4646 ([PATCH] x86:
rewrite SMP TSC sync code), the headers in asm-i386 did not really require
anything in include/asm-x86_64. This means that distributions such as
fedora did not include asm-x86_64 in kernel-devel headers for i386. Ingo's
commit changed that, and broke things. This is easy enough to hack around
in package builds by just including asm-x86_64 on i386, but that's kind of
annoying. If anything, x86_64 should depend upon i386, not the other way
around.
This patch changes it so that asm-x86_64/tsc.h includes asm-i386/tsc.h,
rather than vice-versa.

there's a new NMI watchdog related problem: KVM crashes on certain
bzImages because ... we enable the NMI watchdog by default (even if the
user does not ask for it) , and no other OS on this planet does that so
KVM doesnt have emulation for that yet. So KVM injects a #GP, which
crashes the Linux guest:
general protection fault: 0000 [#1]
PREEMPT SMP
Modules linked in:
CPU: 0
EIP: 0060:[<c011a8ae>] Not tainted VLI
EFLAGS: 00000246 (2.6.20-rc5-rt0 #3)
EIP is at setup_apic_nmi_watchdog+0x26d/0x3d3
and no, i did /not/ request an nmi_watchdog on the boot command line!
Solution: turn off that darn thing! It's a debug tool, not a 'make life
harder' tool!!
with this patch the KVM guest boots up just fine.
And with this my laptop (Lenovo T60) also stopped its sporadic hard
hanging (sometimes in acpi_init(), sometimes later during bootup,
sometimes much later during actual use) as well. It hung with both
nmi_watchdog=1 and nmi_watchdog=2, so it's generally the fact of NMI
injection that is causing problems, not the NMI watchdog variant, nor
any particular bootup code.

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

Remove the SMT-nice feature which idles sibling cpus on SMT cpus to
facilitiate nice working properly where cpu power is shared. The idling of
cpus in the presence of runnable tasks is considered too fragile, easy to
break with outside code, and the complexity of managing this system if an
architecture comes along with many logical cores sharing cpu power will be
unworkable.
Remove the associated per_cpu_gain variable in sched_domains used only by
this code.
Also:
The reason is that with dynticks enabled, this code breaks without yet
further tweaks so dynticks brought on the rapid demise of this code. So
either we tweak this code or kill it off entirely. It was Ingo's preference
to kill it off. Either way this needs to happen for 2.6.21 since dynticks
has gone in.

The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?
With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.
So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.
Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.

There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP.
In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means
of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate
process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general.
This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr
and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single().
Dave Jones mentioned cpufreq might be not only user of rdmsr_on_cpu() and
wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm putting them into arch/{i386,x86_64}/lib/ .

make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and

The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and
i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems.
The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU
to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned
off.
The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

On the Unisys ES7000/ONE system, we encountered a problem where performing
a kexec reboot or dump on any cell other than cell 0 causes the system
timer to stop working, resulting in a hang during timer calibration in the
new kernel.
We traced the problem to one line of code in disable_IO_APIC(), which needs
to restore the timer's IO-APIC configuration before rebooting. The code is
currently using the 4-bit physical destination field, rather than using the
8-bit logical destination field, and it cuts off the upper 4 bits of the
timer's APIC ID. If we change this to use the logical destination field,
the timer works and we can kexec on the upper cells. This was tested on
two different cells (0 and 2) in an ES7000/ONE system.
For reference, the relevant Intel xAPIC spec is kept at
ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8501/datashts/30962001.pdf,

This patch resolves the issue of running with numa=fake=X on kernel command
line on x86_64 machines that have big IO hole. While calculating the size
of each node now we look at the total hole size in that range.
Previously there were nodes that only had IO holes in them causing kernel
boot problems. We now use the NODE_MIN_SIZE (64MB) as the minimum size of
memory that any node must have. We reduce the number of allocated nodes if
the number of nodes specified on kernel command line results in any node
getting memory smaller than NODE_MIN_SIZE.
This change allows the extra memory to be incremented in NODE_MIN_SIZE
granule and uniformly distribute among as many nodes (called big nodes) as
possible.

This does user copies in fs write() into the page cache with write combining.
This pushes the destination out of the CPU's cache, but allows higher bandwidth
in some case.
The theory is that the page cache data is usually not touched by the

faster.

255 characters are not enough anymore.

The line discipline numbers N_* are currently defined for each architecture

anyway. So I propose the following patch which moves the definitions of
the individual line disciplines to linux/tty.h too.
Three of these numbers (N_MASC, N_PROFIBUS_FDL, and N_SMSBLOCK) are unused
in the current kernel, but the patch still keeps the complete set in case

This patch fixes
- marking I-cache clean of pages DMAed to now only done for IA64
- broken multiple inclusion in include/asm-x86_64/swiotlb.h
- missing call to mark_clean in swiotlb_sync_sg()
- a (perhaps only theoretical) issue in swiotlb_dma_supported() when
io_tlb_end is exactly at the end of memory

On x86-64, a put_user call using a 64-bit pointer and a constant value that
is > 0xffffffff will produce code that doesn't assemble. This patch fixes
the asm construct to use the Z constraint for 32-bit constants.

+m is really correct for a RMW instruction, but some older gccs
error out. I finally gave in and ifdefed it.
This fixes compilation errors with some compiler version.
