d3ee871e63 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix sparse mem
Fix up booting with sparse mem enabled. Otherwise it would just
cause an early PANIC at boot.

8893166ff8 [PATCH] x86_64: Increase the maximum number of local APICs to the maximum
This is needed for large multinode IBM systems which have a sparse
APIC space in clustered mode, fully covering the available 8 bits.

The previous kernels would limit the local APIC number to 127,
which caused it to reject some of the CPUs at boot.

I increased the maximum and shrunk the apic_version array a bit
to make up for that (the version is only 8 bit, so don't need
an full int to store)

9e43e1b7c7 [PATCH] x86_64: Remove CONFIG_CHECKING and add command line option for pagefault tracing
CONFIG_CHECKING covered some debugging code used in the early times
of the port. But it wasn't even SMP safe for quite some time
and the bugs it checked for seem to be gone.

This patch removes all the code to verify GS at kernel entry. There
haven't been any new bugs in this area for a long time.

Previously it also covered the sysctl for the page fault tracing.
That didn't make much sense because that code was unconditionally
compiled in. I made that a boot option now because it is typically
only useful at boot.

ffd10a2b77 [PATCH] x86_64: Make node boundaries consistent
The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node
memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option
that is used.

setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to
calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine
if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the
current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes
as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might
lose a page at the end of the range.

This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is
the same way as the single node code.

The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations,
but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

b0bd35e622 [PATCH] x86_64: Make ACPI NUMA and NUMA emulation peers of K8_NUMA in Kconfig
On x86_64 arches, there is no way to choose ACPI_NUMA without having to choose
K8_NUMA.  CONFIG_K8_NUMA is not needed for Intel EM64T NUMA boxes.  It also
looks odd if you have to select ACPI_NUMA from the power management menu.
This patch fixes those oddities.  Patch does the following:

1. Makes NUMA a config option like other arches
2. Makes topology detection options like K8_NUMA dependent on NUMA
3. Choosing ACPI NUMA detection can be done from the standard
   "Processor type and features" menu

AK: I fixed up the dependencies and changed the help texts a bit
on top of Kiran's patch.

efbbdce94f [PATCH] x86_64: Use common sys_time64
Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and
buggy) copy of sys_time.  The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is
a time_t, i.e.  a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int
(32-bit).

The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop
this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME).

Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be
fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and
defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

bf0f2e2383 [PATCH] x86_64: Set ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp alignment to 128 bytes
The current value was correct before the introduction of Intel EM64T support -
but now L1_CACHE_SHIFT_MAX can be less than L1_CACHE_SHIFT, which _is_ funny!

Between the few users of ____cacheline_maxaligned_in_smp, we also have (for
example) rcu_ctrlblk, and struct zone, with zone->{lru_,}lock.  I.e.  we have
a lot of excess cacheline bouncing on them.

No correctness issues, obviously.  So this could even be merged for 2.6.14
(I'm not a fan of this idea, though).

by OS instead of what cpuid instruction says. This will also fix the buggy BIOS
cases (for example where cpuid on a single core cpu says there are "2" siblings,

Compute the highest possible value for memnode_shift, in order to reduce
footprint of memnodemap[] to the minimum, thus making all users
(phys_to_nid(), kfree()), more cache friendly.

Before the patch :

 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 00000001ffffffff
 Node 1 MemBase 0000000200000000 Limit 00000003ffffffff
 Using 23 for the hash shift. Max adder is 3ffffffff

After the patch :

 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 00000001ffffffff
 Node 1 MemBase 0000000200000000 Limit 00000003ffffffff
 Using 33 for the hash shift.

In this case, only 2 bytes of memnodemap[] are used, instead of 2048

420f8f68c9 [PATCH] x86_64: New heuristics to find out hotpluggable CPUs.
With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB
on per CPU data of all possible CPUs.  The reason was that HOTPLUG
always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate
that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now)

The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs
the platform supports.  So the old code just assumed all, which would
lead to this memory wastage.

This implements some new heuristics:

 - If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they
   can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit,
   but seems like a obvious extension)
 - The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option
 - Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.

6004e1b7ef [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Share interrupt vectors when there is a large number of interrupt sources
Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression
patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI.  It is meant for
a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt
pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc.

The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with
I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540.  This is much bigger
than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64).  Also, there aren't enough
vectors to go around.  There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting
the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F.  So, my patch
attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

e18c6874a5 [PATCH] x86_64: Account mem_map in VM holes accounting
The VM needs to know about lost memory in zones to accurately
balance dirty pages. This patch accounts mem_map in there too,
which fixes a constant errror of a few percent. Also some
other misc mappings and the kernel text itself are accounted
too.

d1e3dfdc2c [PATCH] x86_64: Set compatibility flag for 4GB zone on IA64
IA64 traditionally had a 4GB DMA32 zone. Set the compatibility flag
to keep old drivers working.

For new drivers it would be better to use ZONE_DMA32 now.

a2f1b42490 [PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone
Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.

As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
dealing with one DMA zone.  We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.

But this has always caused problems since then because
device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
it can deal with many zones successfully.

So this patch adds both zones.

This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
was not enough memory.

Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
(like transmit rings or other metadata).  They tended to allocate memory
in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
many devices.  With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.

One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
it seems to be the most common restriction.

The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.

For other architectures who don't set up this
new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
enough.

One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64  use GFP_DMA
(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
ugly and is now obsolete.

These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.
