2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: Fix Cyrix MediaGX detectionAlan
The old Cyrix 5520 CPU detection code relied upon the PCI layer setup being done earlier than the CPU setup, which is no longer true. Fortunately we know that if the processor is a MediaGX we can do type 1 pci config accesses to check the companion chip. We thus do those directly and from this find the 5520 and implement the workarounds for the timer problem Original report from takada@mbf.nifty.com, I sent a proposed patch which Takara then corrected, tested and sent back to the list on 10th January.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: add idle notifierStephane Eranian
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call, or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not considered part of the low level loop. The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off monitoring.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fsJeremy Fitzhardinge
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for per-processor data. This is because some processors show a small but measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is). On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable. Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much. This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to match the changed struct pt_regs.

2007-02-02Revert "[PATCH] fix typo in geode_configre()@cyrix.c"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea63caceff37a13f281a72652b7ea71ba. It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one (and that we also should clean it up a bit). And after that we need to really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do work. The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all (even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so). So let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the intent. There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may well contain the proper long-term fix.

2007-01-22[PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during bootJames Bottomley
The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA, the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA. The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id. The basically kills voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so voyager currently won't boot without this. The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

2007-01-02[CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Always guess FSBRafa³ Bilski
This is patch that solves Ebox mini PC issue and make FSB code more specification compilant. At start guess_fsb function is guessing 200MHz FSB too. It is better to make it in this way because, thanks to this function, driver will fail for bogus FSB values caused by bogus multiplier value. For PowerSaver processors we can't depend on Max / MinMHzFSB because these values are only used for PowerSaver 2.0 and 3.0. Most processors on which Longhaul is used are PowerSaver 1.0 only. I'm changing code for older CPU's too, but not so much as previously, and this code was already used for Ezra. Using MinMHzBR for Ezra-T is outside spec. It is for voltage scaling purpose and don't have to be equal to minmult (but it is). Same for Nehemiah (it isn't for sure). Added mult - current multiplier value.

2006-12-29[CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Fix up powersaver assumptions.Rafa³ Bilski
ACPI PM2 register was fallback for "Longhaul ver. 1" CPU's. My assumption that this register isn't present at "PowerSaver" motherboards is so far true, but current code will not work correctly in other case. There are three possible supports: ACPI C3, PM2 and northbridge. That was my assumption that ACPI C3 and northbridge is for PS and northbridge and PM2 is for V1. In current code we can only check if it is ACPI support or not by port22_en. So remove port22_en and add longhaul_flags. If USE_ACPI_C3 and USE_NORTHBRIDGE are both clear then it means ACPI PM2 support. Also change order of support probe from ACPI C3, PM2, northbridge to ACPI C3, northbridge, ACPI PM2. Paranoid protection against port 0x22 cast as ACPI PM2 register. Bit 1 clear in such case - lockup on AGP DMA. And obvious (now) fixup for do_powersaver. Use cx->address only for ACPI C3 ("PowerSaver" processor using PM2 support). Signed-off-by: Rafa¿ Bilski <rafalbilski@interia.pl> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2006-12-07[PATCH] i386: fix MTRR codeJan Beulich
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more) regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes this symmetric. While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code, namely - use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44 physical address bits would become available) - the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR) - the generic range validation code checked that the end of the to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been the start of the range - when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also compatible with the respective opposite in the other Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
