2009-02-11x86: make hibernation always-possibleIngo Molnar
This commit: aced3ce: x86/Voyager: remove HIBERNATION Kconfig quirk Made hibernation only available on UP - instead of making it available on all of x86. Fix it. Reported-by: Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-11x86: cleanup, rename CONFIG_X86_NON_STANDARD to CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORMRavikiran G Thirumalai
Patch to rename the CONFIG_X86_NON_STANDARD to CONFIG_X86_EXTENDED_PLATFORM. The new name represents the subarches better. Also, default this to 'y' so that many of the sub architectures that were not easily visible now become visible. Also re-organize the extended architecture platform and non standard platform list alphabetically as suggested by Ingo.

2009-02-10x86: implement x86_32 stack protectorTejun Heo
Impact: stack protector for x86_32 Implement stack protector for x86_32. GDT entry 28 is used for it. It's set to point to stack_canary-20 and have the length of 24 bytes. CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR turns off CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and sets %gs to the stack canary segment on entry. As %gs is otherwise unused by the kernel, the canary can be anywhere. It's defined as a percpu variable. x86_32 exception handlers take register frame on stack directly as struct pt_regs. With -fstack-protector turned on, gcc copies the whole structure after the stack canary and (of course) doesn't copy back on return thus losing all changed. For now, -fno-stack-protector is added to all files which contain those functions. We definitely need something better.

2009-02-10x86: make lazy %gs optional on x86_32Tejun Heo
Impact: pt_regs changed, lazy gs handling made optional, add slight overhead to SAVE_ALL, simplifies error_code path a bit On x86_32, %gs hasn't been used by kernel and handled lazily. pt_regs doesn't have place for it and gs is saved/loaded only when necessary. In preparation for stack protector support, this patch makes lazy %gs handling optional by doing the followings. * Add CONFIG_X86_32_LAZY_GS and place for gs in pt_regs. * Save and restore %gs along with other registers in entry_32.S unless LAZY_GS. Note that this unfortunately adds "pushl $0" on SAVE_ALL even when LAZY_GS. However, it adds no overhead to common exit path and simplifies entry path with error code. * Define different user_gs accessors depending on LAZY_GS and add lazy_save_gs() and lazy_load_gs() which are noop if !LAZY_GS. The lazy_*_gs() ops are used to save, load and clear %gs lazily. * Define ELF_CORE_COPY_KERNEL_REGS() which always read %gs directly. xen and lguest changes need to be verified.

2009-02-05x86: disable intel_iommu support by defaultKyle McMartin
Due to recurring issues with DMAR support on certain platforms. There's a number of filesystem corruption incidents reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479996 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12578 Provide a Kconfig option to change whether it is enabled by default.

2009-01-30x86: allow more than 8 cpus to be used on 32-bitYinghai Lu
X86_PC is the only remaining 'sub' architecture, so we dont need it anymore. This also cleans up a few spurious references to X86_PC in the driver space - those certainly should be X86. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: move to the X86_32_NON_STANDARD code sectionIngo Molnar
Make Voyager depend on X86_32_NON_STANDARD - it is a non-standard 32-bit SMP architecture. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86: rename X86_GENERICARCH to X86_32_NON_STANDARDIngo Molnar
X86_GENERICARCH is a misnomer - it contains non-PC 32-bit architectures that are not included in the default build. Rename it to X86_32_NON_STANDARD. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove ISA quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this ISA quirk (because Voyager has no ISA support): config ISA bool "ISA support" depends on !X86_VOYAGER There's a ton of x86 hardware that does not support ISA, and because most ISA drivers cannot auto-detect in a safe way, the convention in the kernel has always been to not enable ISA drivers if they are not needed. Voyager users can do likewise - no need for a Kconfig quirk. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove power management Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this PM/ACPI Kconfig quirk: menu "Power management and ACPI options" depends on !X86_VOYAGER Most of the PM features are auto-detect so they should be safe to run on just about any hardware. (If not, those instances need fixing.) In any case, if a kernel is built for Voyager, the power management options can be disabled. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove HOTPLUG_CPU Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk: config HOTPLUG_CPU bool "Support for hot-pluggable CPUs" depends on SMP && HOTPLUG && !X86_VOYAGER But this exception will be moot once Voyager starts using the generic x86 code. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove MCE quirkIngo Molnar
If no MCE code is desired on Voyager hw then the solution is to turn them off in the .config - and to extend the MCE code to not initialize on Voyager. Remove the build-time quirk. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove APIC/IO-APIC Kbuild quirkIngo Molnar
The lapic/ioapic code properly auto-detects and is safe to run on CPUs that have no local APIC. (or which have their lapic turned off in the hardware) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove PARAVIRT Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar

2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove KVM_GUEST quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this quirk currently: config KVM_GUEST bool "KVM Guest support" select PARAVIRT depends on !X86_VOYAGER Voyager support built into a kernel image does not exclude KVM paravirt guest support - so remove this quirk. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove KVM_CLOCK quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this build-time quirk to exclude KVM_CLOCK: bool "KVM paravirtualized clock" select PARAVIRT select PARAVIRT_CLOCK depends on !X86_VOYAGER Voyager support built into a kernel image does not exclude KVM paravirt clock support - so remove this quirk.

2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove VMI Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager has this build-time quirk: bool "VMI Guest support" select PARAVIRT depends on X86_32 depends on !X86_VOYAGER Since VMI is auto-detected (and Voyager will be auto-detected) there's no reason for this quirk. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/VisWS: remove Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
VisWS has this quirk currently: config X86_VISWS bool "SGI 320/540 (Visual Workstation)" depends on X86_32 && PCI && !X86_VOYAGER && X86_MPPARSE && PCI_GODIRECT The !Voyager quirk is unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager had this Kconfig quirk: config X86_FIND_SMP_CONFIG def_bool y depends on X86_MPPARSE || X86_VOYAGER Which splits off the find_smp_config() callback into a build-time quirk. Voyager should use the existing x86_quirks.mach_find_smp_config() callback to introduce SMP-config quirks. NUMAQ-32 and VISWS already use this. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove X86_BIOS_REBOOT Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk: config X86_BIOS_REBOOT bool depends on !X86_VOYAGER default y Voyager should use the existing machine_ops.emergency_restart reboot quirk mechanism instead of a build-time quirk. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove X86_HT Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk: depends on (X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64 That is unnecessary as HT support is CPUID driven and explicitly enumerated. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86: generalize boot_cpu_idIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager can boot on non-zero processors. While that can probably be fixed by properly remapping the physical CPU IDs, keep boot_cpu_id for now for easier transition - and expand it to all of x86. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86: replace CONFIG_X86_SMP with CONFIG_SMPIngo Molnar
The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between 'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support': config X86_SMP bool depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64) This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended more to cover all the specialities of Voyager. So remove this complication in the Kconfig space. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this Kconfig quirk for suspend/resume: config ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE def_bool y depends on !X86_VOYAGER The proper mechanism to not suspend on a piece of hardware to disable CONFIG_SUSPEND. Remove the quirk. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove HIBERNATION Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager has this hibernation quirk: config ARCH_HIBERNATION_POSSIBLE def_bool y depends on !SMP || !X86_VOYAGER Hibernation is a generic facility provided on all x86 platforms. If it is buggy on Voyager then that bug should be fixed - not worked around. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove KGDB Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager has this KGDB quirk: select HAVE_ARCH_KGDB if !X86_VOYAGER This is completely pointless - there's nothing in KGDB that cannot work on Voyager. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove KVM Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
Voyager and other subarchitectures have this Kconfig quirk: select HAVE_KVM if ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER && !X86_VISWS && !X86_NUMAQ) || X86_64) This is unnecessary, as KVM cleanly detects based on CPUID capabilities. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove NATSEMI Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager has this quirk for SCx200 support: config SCx200 tristate "NatSemi SCx200 support" depends on !X86_VOYAGER Remove it - Voyager users can disable drivers they dont need. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: remove MCA Kconfig quirkIngo Molnar

2009-01-29x86: disable Voyager temporarilyIngo Molnar
x86/Voyager does not build right now and it's unclear whether it will be cleaned up and ported to the subarch-less 32-bit x86 code - so disable it for now. If it's fixed we'll re-enable it - or remove it after some time. There's a very low number of systems running development kernels on x86/Voyager currently. (one or two on the whole planet) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-01-29x86/Voyager: clean up BROKEN Kconfig referenceIngo Molnar
