17e8ce0e94 [IA64-SGI] Altix BTE error handling fixes
Altix (shub2) pushes the BTE clean-up into SAL.
This patch correctly interfaces with the now implemented SAL call.
It also fixes a bug when delaying clean-up to allow busy BTEs to
complete (or error out).

8a4b7b6f18 [IA64] Fix conversion of pal_min_state physical address
On return from INIT handler we must convert the address of the
minstate area from a kernel virtual uncached address (0xC...)
to physical uncached (0x8...).  A typo (or thinko?) in the code
converted to physical cached.

dd29c72771 [ARM] 3257/1: ixp2000: map in scratch and sram
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

For the ixp2000 netdev driver, we need to map in a chunk of SRAM (to
store the transmit and receive descriptors) and the scratch get/put
area (so that we can use the scratchpad rings in the cpu for managing
the descriptors.)  These are the final two mappings needed for the
netdev driver and the last missing piece for the driver in mainline
to work.

3356bb9f7b [PATCH] powerpc: Remove lppaca structure from the PACA
At present the lppaca - the structure shared with the iSeries
hypervisor and phyp - is contained within the PACA, our own low-level
per-cpu structure.  This doesn't have to be so, the patch below
removes it, making a separate array of lppaca structures.

This saves approximately 500*NR_CPUS bytes of image size and kernel
memory, because we don't need aligning gap between the Linux and
hypervisor portions of every PACA.  On the other hand it means an
extra level of dereference in many accesses to the lppaca.

The patch also gets rid of several places where we assign the paca
address to a local variable for no particular reason.

e58c3495e6 [PATCH] powerpc: Cleanup LOADADDR etc. asm macros
This patch consolidates the variety of macros used for loading 32 or
64-bit constants in assembler (LOADADDR, LOADBASE, SET_REG_TO_*).  The
idea is to make the set of macros consistent across 32 and 64 bit and
to make it more obvious which is the appropriate one to use in a given
situation.  The new macros and their semantics are described in the
comments in ppc_asm.h.

In the process, we change several places that were unnecessarily using
immediate loads on ppc64 to use the GOT/TOC.  Likewise we cleanup a
couple of places where we were clumsily subtracting PAGE_OFFSET with
asm instructions to use assemble-time arithmetic or the toreal() macro
instead.

088186ded4 [PATCH] powerpc: Add/remove/update properties in firmware device tree
Add support for updating and removing device tree
properties.  Since we hand out pointers to properties with gay
abandon, we can't just free the property storage.  Instead we
move deleted, or the old copy of an updated property, to a
"dead properties" list.

Also note, its not feasable to kref device tree properties.
we call get_property() all over the kernel in a wild variety
of contexts.

One consequence of this change is that we now take a
read_lock(&devtree_lock) when doing get_property().

f4619025a5 [ARM] Allow r2 to be passed through the decompressor to the kernel
This is part of a patch from Marc Singer to allow r2 to be
passed to the kernel.  Marc's original comments follow:

This revised R2 (atags pointer) patch incorporates comments from Nico
Pitre and Ben Dooks. It modifies the head.S files such that the R2
value set by the bootloader is conveyed to the kernel startup code.
The kernel head.S heuristically validates the pointer. It will set R2
to zero if it believes the pointer is invalid. Presently, it requires
that the ATAGS list reside in the first 16KiB of physical RAM.
Relaxing this contraint may be both desirable as well as tricky.

198e2f1811 [PATCH] scheduler cache-hot-autodetect
)

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch.

The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is
unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this:

- I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache
  measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means
  that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT
  distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks
  the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows
  whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot
  time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption
  is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain
  distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems,
  and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems.

  [ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this
    assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with
    the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to
    the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first
    see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ]

Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring
the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable
up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with
L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often
have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem:

- Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and
  sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration
  cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of
  cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which
  occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the
  'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for
  the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs.

  This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two
  CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost
  will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share
  any caches.

(The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source
for details.)

Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune
migration behavior.

Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection:

	migration_cost=1000,2000,3000

will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values.

Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or
decrease) the autodetected values:

	migration_factor=120

will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to
tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is
cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying
migration_factor=0.

I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3
P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good:

Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache):

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]
 [00]:     -     1.7(1)
 [01]:   1.7(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008)
 ---------------------

Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even
though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs.

Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache):

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]    [02]    [03]
 [00]:     -     0.4(1)  0.0(0)  0.4(1)
 [01]:   0.4(1)    -     0.4(1)  0.0(0)
 [02]:   0.0(0)  0.4(1)    -     0.4(1)
 [03]:   0.4(1)  0.0(0)  0.4(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514)
 ---------------------

Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT
siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory
system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs.

8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]:

 ---------------------
 migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 2097152, cpu: 700 MHz):
 ---------------------
           [00]    [01]    [02]    [03]    [04]    [05]    [06]    [07]

 [06]:  19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)    -    19.2(1)
 [07]:  19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1) 19.2(1)    -
 ---------------------
 cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756)
 ---------------------

This one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the
migration cost is 19 msecs.

90303b1023 [ARM] 3256/1: Make the function-returning ldm's use sp as the base register
Patch from Catalin Marinas

If the low interrupt latency mode is enabled for the CPU (from ARMv6
onwards), the ldm/stm instructions are no longer atomic. An ldm instruction
restoring the sp and pc registers can be interrupted immediately after sp
was updated but before the pc. If this happens, the CPU restores the base
register to the value before the ldm instruction but if the base register
is not sp, the interrupt routine will corrupt the stack and the restarted
ldm instruction will load garbage.

Note that future ARM cores might always run in the low interrupt latency
mode.

5388fb1025 [PATCH] powerpc: Avoid potential FP corruption with preempt and UP
Heikki Lindholm pointed out that there was a potential race with the
lazy CPU state (FP, VR, EVR) stuff if preempt is enabled.  The race
is that in the process of restoring FP state on sigreturn, the task
gets preempted by a user task that wants to use the FPU.  It will take
an FP unavailable exception, which will write the current FPU state
to the thread_struct, overwriting the values which sigreturn has
stored.  Note that this can only happen on UP since we don't implement
lazy CPU state on SMP.

The fix is to flush the lazy CPU state before updating the
thread_struct.  To do this we re-use the flush_lazy_cpu_state()
function from process.c.

983d5dbdb2 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix SMP bootup with CONFIG_KDUMP enabled
o This fix was posted for i386 long back. Posting it for x86_64.

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110380103229830&w=2

o This patch fixes the problem of secondary cpus boot up. This situation
  is faced when kernel is built for default locations like 16MB and
  onwards. In this configuration, only primary cpu (BP) comes and
  secondary cpus don't boot.

o Problem occurs because in trampoline code, lgdt is not able to load the
  GDT as it happens to be situated beyond 16MB. This is due to the fact
  that cpu is still in real mode and default operand size is 16bit.

o This patch uses lgdtl instead of lgdt to force operand size to 32
  instead of 16.

af5b980424 [PATCH] x86_64: ioapic virtual wire mode fix
o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual
  wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting
  timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode.

o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts
  to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash
  on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts.

o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer
  interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero).
  This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a
  non-boot cpu.

1008fddcae [PATCH] x86_64: Memorize location of i8259 for reboots.
Currently we attempt to restore virtual wire mode on reboot, which only
works if we can figure out where the i8259 is connected.  This is very
useful when we are kexec another kernel and likely helpful to an peculiar
BIOS that make assumptions about how the system is setup.

Since the acpi MADT table does not provide the location where the i8259 is
connected we have to look at the hardware to figure it out.

Most systems have the i8259 connected the local apic of the cpu so won't be
affected but people running Opteron and some serverworks chipsets should be
able to use kexec now.

In addition this patch removes the hard coded assumption that the io_apic
that delivers isa interrups is always known to the kernel as io_apic 0.
There does not appear to be anything to guarantee that assumption is true.

And From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@in.ibm.com>

  A minor fix to the patch which remembers the location of where i8259 is
  connected.  Now counter i has been replaced by apic.  counter i is having
  some junk value which was leading to non-detection of i8259 connected to
  IOAPIC.

x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init.
We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node.

Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from
correct node.

Change since last release:
Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases.

Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA.

17a941d854 [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functions
AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
And various other changes and cleanups.

Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
                needs more testing.

This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
patch:

- introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
  of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
  (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).

- gets rid of:

  if (swiotlb)
      return swiotlb_xxx();

- PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

The context can be idle thread or interrupt context.

Since we cannot rely on MONITOR/MWAIT existing the idle
end check currently has to be done in all interrupt
handlers.

They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation.

They have a variety of applications:
- They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
- They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time
in idle when performance counters don't tick.
- They can be used for better C state management in ACPI
- They could be used for microstate accounting.

01b8faaef5 [PATCH] x86_64: Report hardware breakpoints in user space when triggered by the kernel
I would like to throw out a suggestion for a possible change in the way that
the debug register traps are handled in do_debug() when the trap occurs
in kernel-mode.

In the x86_64 version of do_debug(), the code will skip around sending
a SIGTRAP to the current task if the trap occurred while in kernel mode.

On the i386-side of things, if the access happens to occur in kernel mode
(say during a read(2) of user's buffer that matches the address of a
debug register trap), then the do_debug() routine for i386 will go ahead
and call send_sigtrap() and send the SIGTRAP signal.  The send_sigtrap()
code will also set the info.si_addr to NULL in this case (even though I
don't understand why, since the SIGTRAP siginfo processing doesn't use
the si_addr field...).

So I would like to suggest that the x86_64 do_debug() routine also
follow this type of behavior and have it go ahead and send the
SIGTRAP signal to the current task, even if the debug register trap
happens to have occurred in kernel mode.  I have taken a stab at
a patch for this change below.  (It includes the i386-ish change
for setting si_addr to NULL when the trap occurred in kernel mode.)

It seems like a useful feature to be able to 'watch' a user location that
might also be modified in the kernel via a system service call, and have the
debugger report that information back to the user, rather than to just
silently ignore the trap.

Additionally, I realize that users that pull in a kernel debugger such as
KGDB into their kernel might want to remove this change below when they add
in KGDB support.  However, they could alternatively look at the current
task's thread.debugreg[] values to see if the trap occurred due to KGDB
or instead because of a user-space debugger trap, and still honor the
user SIGTRAP processing (instead of the KGDB breakpoint processing)
if the trap matches up with the thread.debugreg[] registers.

provided the

loops_per_jiffy * HZ <= cpu_clock_speed.  So if the cpu clock speed
< 2^64/(20000 * 0x10c6) = 2^64/ 51E6CC0 < 2^64/2^27 = 2^37 = 128G we

because it leads to pci_distance not knowing the difference between

heuristics in generic code.

In this case it's better to fall back to the default heuristic
which just does nodea == nodeb ? 10 : 20.

This patch does some basic sanity checking on the SLIT and only accepts
the SLIT when it passes.

Invariants enforced are:
- Node to itself shall be 10
- Any other distance shouldn't be 10
- Distances smaller than 10 are illegal

6e3fbee5f1 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Don't IPI to offline cpus on shutdown
So why are we calling smp_send_stop from machine_halt?

We don't.

Looking more closely at the bug report the problem here
is that halt -p is called which triggers not a halt but
an attempt to power off.

machine_power_off calls machine_shutdown which calls smp_send_stop.

If pm_power_off is set we should never make it out machine_power_off
to the call of do_exit.  So pm_power_off must not be set in this case.
When pm_power_off is not set we expect machine_power_off to devolve
into machine_halt.

So how do we fix this?

Playing too much with smp_send_stop is dangerous because it
must also be safe to be called from panic.

It looks like the obviously correct fix is to only call
machine_shutdown when pm_power_off is defined.  Doing
that will make Andi's assumption about not scheduling
true and generally simplify what must be supported.

This turns machine_power_off into a noop like machine_halt
when pm_power_off is not defined.

If the expected behavior is that sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_POWER_OFF)
becomes sys_reboot(LINUX_REBOOT_CMD_HALT) if pm_power_off is NULL
this is not quite a comprehensive fix as we pass a different parameter
to the reboot notifier and we set system_state to a different value
before calling device_shutdown().

Unfortunately any fix more comprehensive I can think of is not
obviously correct.  The core problem is that there is no architecture
independent way to detect if machine_power will become a noop, without
calling it.

b556b35e98 [PATCH] x86_64: Move int 3 handler to debug stack and allow to increase it.
This
- switches the INT3 handler to run on an IST stack (to cope with
  breakpoints set by a kernel debugger on places where the kernel's
  %gs base hasn't been set up, yet); the IST stack used is shared with
  the INT1 handler's
[AK: this also allows setting a kprobe on the interrupt/exception entry
points]
- allows nesting of INT1/INT3 handlers so that one can, with a kernel
  debugger, debug (at least) the user-mode portions of the INT1/INT3
  handling; the nesting isn't actively enabled here since a kernel-
  debugger-free kernel doesn't need it

3f98bc4991 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Update AMD CPUID flags
Print bits for RDTSCP, SVM, CR8-LEGACY.

Also now print power flags on i386 like x86-64 always did.
This will add a new line in the 386 cpuinfo, but that shouldn't
be an issue - did that in the past too and I haven't heard
of any breakage.

I shrunk some of the fields in the i386 cpuinfo_x86 to chars
to make up for the new int "x86_power" field. Overall it's
smaller than before.

39b3a79105 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Generalize X86_FEATURE_CONSTANT_TSC flag
Define it for i386 too.

This is a synthetic flag that signifies that the CPU's TSC runs
at a constant P state invariant frequency.

Fix up the logic on x86-64/i386 to set it on all known CPUs.
Use the AMD defined bit to set it on future AMD CPUs.

eca37c18be [PATCH] x86_64: Clean up double fault handling
Since a double fault always implies that kernel data structures are
corrupt, this fault should neither be handed to user mode handling,
nor should the handler allow resuming the faulting code stream (since
architecturally this isn't a fault, but an abort).

Note that this slightly depends on the previously submitted patch
adjusting the prototype of notify_die() (a compiler warning will result
without that other patch).

AK: Removed obsolete CONFIG_CHECKING code, added comments
