6569580de7 [PATCH] i386: Distinguish absolute symbols
Ld knows about 2 kinds of symbols,  absolute and section
relative.  Section relative symbols symbols change value
when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not.

Currently in the linker script we have several labels
marking the beginning and ending of sections that
are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols.
Having a mixture of absolute and section relative
symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless
but it is confusing.

This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place
symbols that appear in sections without data and instead
ld makes those symbols global :(

My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel.  The
safest and least intrusive technique is to generate
relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load
time.  The only penalty would be an increase in the size
of the kernel binary.  The problem is that if absolute and
relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols
will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which
is fatal.

The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that
will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused
a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code
the physical memory location they will run at, especially
for the distributions.

[AK: and merged:]

o Also put a message so that in future people can be aware of it and
  avoid introducing absolute symbols.

72690a2118 [PATCH] x86: Don't use nested idle loops
Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level
in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one.

Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers
because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute
exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle().

So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes
code.

In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer
now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem
ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways.

49d26b6eaa [PATCH] i386: Update sys_vm86 to cope with changed pt_regs and %gs usage
sys_vm86 uses a struct kernel_vm86_regs, which is identical to pt_regs, but
adds an extra space for all the segment registers.  Previously this structure
was completely independent, so changes in pt_regs had to be reflected in
kernel_vm86_regs.  This changes just embeds pt_regs in kernel_vm86_regs, and
makes the appropriate changes to vm86.c to deal with the new naming.

Also, since %gs is dealt with differently in the kernel, this change adjusts
vm86.c to reflect this.

While making these changes, I also cleaned up some frankly bizarre code which
was added when auditing was added to sys_vm86.

f95d47caae [PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernel
This patch is the meat of the PDA change.  This patch makes several related
changes:

1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel.  This means that on
   entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
   __KERNEL_PDA.

2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
   is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
   state can be accessed.

   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
   is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).

3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
   register state in a signal context.

4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
   code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

6211119580 [PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data area
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it.  The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.

This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init().  Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs.  This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.

In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

9ca36101a8 [PATCH] i386: Basic definitions for i386-pda
This patch has the basic definitions of struct i386_pda, and the segment
selector in the GDT.

asm-i386/pda.h is more or less a direct copy of asm-x86_64/pda.h.  The most
interesting difference is the use of _proxy_pda, which is used to give gcc a
model for the actual memory operations on the real pda structure.  No actual
reference is ever made to _proxy_pda, so it is never defined.

acc207616a [PATCH] i386: add sleazy FPU optimization
i386 port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature.  Chuck reports that this gives him a +/-
0.4% improvement on his simple benchmark

x86_64 description follows:

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.

- Introduced PER_CPU() macro to be used from asm
- Introduced GET_DESC_BASE() macro to be used from asm
- Rewrote the fixup code in asm, as calling a C code with the altered %ss
  appeared to be unsafe
- No longer altering the stack from a .fixup section
- 16bit per-cpu stack is no longer used, instead the stack segment base
  is patched the way so that the high word of the kernel and user %esp
  are the same.
- Added the limit-patching for the espfix segment. (Chuck Ebbert)

e5e3a04289 [PATCH] i386: remove default_ldt, and simplify ldt-setting.
This patch removes the default_ldt[] array, as it has been unused since
iBCS stopped being supported.  This means it is now possible to actually
set an empty LDT segment.

In order to deal with this, the set_ldt_desc/load_LDT pair has been
replaced with a single set_ldt() operation which is responsible for both
setting up the LDT descriptor in the GDT, and reloading the LDT register.
If there are no LDT entries, the LDT register is loaded with a NULL
descriptor.

years).  Further work/investigation would be useful.

TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it
TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy
TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks.  Long -mm
TBD simmering would make sense, especially since these now-working checks might

808dbbb6bb x86: be more careful when walking back the frame pointer chain
When showing the stack backtrace, make sure that we never accept not
only an unchanging frame pointer, but also a frame pointer that moves
back down the stack frame.  It must always grow up (toward older stack
frames).

I doubt this has triggered, but a subtly corrupt stack with extremely
unlucky contents could cause us to loop forever on a bogus endless frame
pointer chain.

This review was triggered by much worse problems happening in some of
the other stack unwinding code.

a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...

and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.

45c9953325 [PATCH] Use delayed disable mode of ioapic edge triggered interrupts
Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(),
causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like

	eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
	eth0: found link beat
	eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
	eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
	...

Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said:

  "Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
   Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
   _before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
   masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
   cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).

   So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
   because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
   you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
   and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
   instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
   self-IPI."

This trivial patch solves the problem.

fa18f477d0 [PATCH] x86: Add acpi_user_timer_override option for Asus boards
Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because
they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.
Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that
don't have HPET, but need a timer override.

We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,
but at least add a command line option to force the timer override
and let them boot.

ec68307cc5 [PATCH] htirq: refactor so we only have one function that writes to the chip
This refactoring actually optimizes the code a little by caching the value
that we think the device is programmed with instead of reading it back from
the hardware.  Which simplifies the code a little and should speed things up a
bit.

This patch introduces the concept of a ht_irq_msg and modifies the
architecture read/write routines to update this code.

There is a minor consistency fix here as well as x86_64 forgot to initialize
the htirq as masked.

There are two bugs in the kretprobe-booster.

1) It doesn't make room for gs registers.

2) It doesn't change status of the current kprobe.  This status will

This patch fixes these bugs and, additionally, saves skipped registers for

d654c673d6 [PATCH] Regression in 2.6.19-rc microcode driver
If the microcode driver is built in (rather than module) there are some,
ehm, interesting effects happening due to the new "call out to userspace"
behavior that is introduced..  and which runs too early.  The result is a
boot hang; which is really nasty.

The patch below is a minimally safe patch to fix this regression for 2.6.19
by just not requesting actual microcode updates during early boot.  (That
is a good idea in general anyway)

The "real" fix is a lot more complex given the entire cpu hotplug scenario
(during cpu hotplug you normally need to load the microcode as well); but
the interactions for that are just really messy at this point; this fix at
least makes it work and avoids a full detangle of hotplug.

f9dadfa71b i386: write IO APIC irq routing entries in correct order
Since the "mask" bit is in the low word, when we write a new entry, we
need to write the high word first, before we potentially unmask it.

The exception is when we actually want to mask the interrupt, in which
case we want to write the low word first to make sure that the high word
doesn't change while the interrupt routing is still active.

This is preparation for fixing the ordering of the accesses that
got broken by the commit cf4c6a2f27 when
factoring out the "common" io apic routing entry accesses.

Move the accessor function (that were only used by io_apic.c) out
of a header file, and use proper memory-mapped accesses rather than
making up our own "volatile" pointers.

Interrupts must be disabled during alternative instruction patching.  On
systems with high timer IRQ rates, or when running in an emulator, timing
differences can result in random kernel panics because of running partially
patched instructions.  This doesn't yet fix NMIs, which requires extricating
the patch code from the late bug checking and is logically separate (and also
less likely to cause problems).
