2007-02-13[PATCH] x86: fix laptop bootup hang in init_acpi()Ingo Molnar
During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about 10%-20% of the time in acpi_init(): Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f() Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c() Calling initcall 0xc05664f3: param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x175() Calling initcall 0xc014cb65: pm_sysrq_init+0x0/0x17() Calling initcall 0xc0569f99: init_bio+0x0/0xf4() Calling initcall 0xc056b865: genhd_device_init+0x0/0x50() Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87() Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee() It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through! Frustratingly, adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away ... After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog made these occasional hangs go away. So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method doing stores to chipset mmio registers?) Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted by this problem. As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt hang). I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds and works with the patch applied.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686Ingo Molnar
Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz. This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all hardware. (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy of jitter.) Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed. This makes the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly flag.

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: Profile pc badnessZachary Amsden
Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing bad logic to read a random value off the stack. The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS value. We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS. I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: vMI timer patchesZachary Amsden
VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.

2007-02-13[PATCH] i386: paravirt CPU hypercall batching modeZachary Amsden
The VMI ROM has a mode where hypercalls can be queued and batched. This turns out to be a significant win during context switch, but must be done at a specific point before side effects to CPU state are visible to subsequent instructions. This is similar to the MMU batching hooks already provided. The same hooks could be used by the Xen backend to implement a context switch multicall. To explain a bit more about lazy modes in the paravirt patches, basically, the idea is that only one of lazy CPU or MMU mode can be active at any given time. Lazy MMU mode is similar to this lazy CPU mode, and allows for batching of multiple PTE updates (say, inside a remap loop), but to avoid keeping some kind of state machine about when to flush cpu or mmu updates, we just allow one or the other to be active. Although there is no real reason a more comprehensive scheme could not be implemented, there is also no demonstrated need for this extra complexity.

2007-02-13[PATCH] MM: page allocation hooks for VMI backendZachary Amsden
The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to correctly copy the shadow. We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which makes shadowing them rather simple. For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page, and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool. Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or released.

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.

2007-02-11[PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMAChristoph Lameter
As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA channel management. Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to provide memory below 16M. So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA. Undo the modifications to mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig. Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be switched off. It can only be switched off if we know that all devices supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and IA64/Altix). In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory (like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that call. In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

2007-02-10[CPUFREQ] Enhanced PowerSaver driverRafał Bilski
This is driver for Enhanced Powersaver which is present in VIA C7 processors. Beta tested by Jorgen (jorgen (at) greven dot dk). Thanks! Based on documentation provided by Dave Jones (Thanks!) and C7 Eden datasheet available from www.via.com.tw. Looks like all these C7 Eden CPU's don't have P-states in BIOS. I know that 2 p-states is low, but Jorgen finds it usefull anyway because board is passive cooled. There are 3 different types of C7 processors (called brands): 0. C7-M - these processors can set any maultiplier between min and max, any voltage between min and max. 1. C7 - only min and max states are supported. Voltage is different for min and max states. 2. Eden - only min and max states are supported. Looks like this brand can only change multiplier. Voltage seems to be the same for min and max frequency.
