Some BIOSes do not indicate error when trying to read from non- existing device. Zero buffer before reading and check that we possibly have valid MBR by looking for MBR magic. This was fixed in different way for edd.S in http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=114087765422490&w=2, but lost again when edd.S was rewritten in C.

2008-09-26kgdb, x86_64: fix PS CS SS registers in gdb serialJason Wessel
On x86_64 the gdb serial register structure defines the PS (also known as eflags), CS and SS registers as 4 bytes entities. This patch splits the x86_64 regnames enum into a 32 and 64 version to account for the 32 bit entities in the gdb serial packets. Also the program counter is properly filled in for the sleeping threads. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2008-09-26kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single steppingJason Wessel
On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a system call. First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb, any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the exception. On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb core. The arch specific stub should always set the kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping. This allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>

2008-09-23x86: c1e_idle: don't mark TSC unstable if CPU has invariant TSCAndreas Herrmann
Impact: Functional TSC is marked unstable on AMD family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs. This would be wrong because for those CPUs "invariant TSC" means: "The TSC counts at the same rate in all P-states, all C states, S0, or S1" (See "Processor BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guides" for those CPUs.)

2008-09-23x86: prevent stale state of c1e_mask across CPU offline/onlineThomas Gleixner
Impact: hang which happens across CPU offline/online on AMD C1E systems. When a CPU goes offline then the corresponding bit in the broadcast mask is cleared. For AMD C1E enabled CPUs we do not reenable the broadcast when the CPU comes online again as we do not clear the corresponding bit in the c1e_mask, which keeps track which CPUs have been switched to broadcast already. So on those !$@#& machines we never switch back to broadcasting after a CPU offline/online cycle. Clear the bit when the CPU plays dead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-09-23x86: fix 27-rc crash on vsmp due to paravirt during module loadRavikiran G Thirumalai
27-rc fails to boot up if configured to use modules. Turns out vsmp_patch was marked __init, and vsmp_patch being the pvops 'patch' routine for vsmp, a call to vsmp_patch just turns out to execute a code page with series of 0xcc (POISON_FREE_INITMEM -- int3). vsmp_patch has been marked with __init ever since pvops, however, apply_paravirt can be called during module load causing calls to freed memory location. Since apply_paravirt can only be called during init/module load, make vsmp_patch with "__init_or_module" Signed-off-by: Ravikiran Thirumalai <kiran@scalex86.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Certainly, if we support such processors, then we should start with _PAGE_NX initially clear in __supported_pte_flags, and then set it once we've established that the processor does indeed support NX. That will prevent early_ioremap - or anything else - from trying to set it. The simple fix is to simply call check_efer() earlier.

2008-09-08x86: disable static NOPLs on 32 bitsLinus Torvalds
On 32-bit, at least the generic nops are fairly reasonable, but the default nops for 64-bit really look pretty sad, and the P6 nops really do look better. So I would suggest perhaps moving the static P6 nop selection into the CONFIG_X86_64 thing. The alternative is to just get rid of that static nop selection, and just have two cases: 32-bit and 64-bit, and just pick obviously safe cases for them. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Exception stacks are allocated each time a CPU is set online. But the allocated space is never freed. Thus with one CPU hotplug offline/online cycle there is a memory leak of 24K (6 pages) for a CPU. Fix is to allocate exception stacks only once -- when the CPU is set online for the first time.

pda->irqstackptr is allocated whenever a CPU is set online. But it is never freed. This results in a memory leak of 16K for each CPU offline/online cycle. Fix is to allocate pda->irqstackptr only once. Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Cc: akpm@linux-foundation.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-09-06x86: move mtrr cpu cap setting early in early_init_xxxxYinghai Lu
Krzysztof Helt found MTRR is not detected on k6-2 root cause: we moved mtrr_bp_init() early for mtrr trimming, and in early_detect we only read the CPU capability from cpuid, so some cpu doesn't have that bit in cpuid. So we need to add early_init_xxxx to preset those bit before mtrr_bp_init for those earlier cpus. this patch is for v2.6.27 Reported-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is the same system BTW. Some BIOSes do not always set CF on error before return from int13. The patch adds additional check for status being zero (AH == 0).

2008-09-06x86: HPET: read back compare register before reading counterThomas Gleixner
After fixing the u32 thinko I sill had occasional hickups on ATI chipsets with small deltas. There seems to be a delay between writing the compare register and the transffer to the internal register which triggers the interrupt. Reading back the value makes sure, that it hit the internal match register befor we compare against the counter value. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-09-06x86: HPET fix moronic 32/64bit thinkoThomas Gleixner
We use the HPET only in 32bit mode because: 1) some HPETs are 32bit only 2) on i386 there is no way to read/write the HPET atomic 64bit wide The HPET code unification done by the "moron of the year" did not take into account that unsigned long is different on 32 and 64 bit. This thinko results in a possible endless loop in the clockevents code, when the return comparison fails due to the 64bit/332bit unawareness. unsigned long cnt = (u32) hpet_read() + delta can wrap over 32bit. but the final compare will fail and return -ETIME causing endless loops.

2008-09-05x86: when building image.iso, use isohybrid if it existsH. Peter Anvin
When building image.iso (make isoimage), use the isohybrid tool if it exists. isohybrid is a script included with Syslinux 3.72 and higher, which creates an image that can be booted either as a hard disk (including removable, e.g. USB disk) or as a CD-ROM. If isohybrid doesn't exist, then this has no effect. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

2008-09-05x86: add NOPL as a synthetic CPU feature bitH. Peter Anvin
The long noops ("NOPL") are supposed to be detected by family >= 6. Unfortunately, several non-Intel x86 implementations, both hardware and software, don't obey this dictum. Instead, probe for NOPL directly by executing a NOPL instruction and see if we get #UD. Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
2008-09-05x86: boot: stub out unimplemented CPU feature wordsH. Peter Anvin
The CPU feature detection code in the boot code is somewhat minimal, and doesn't include all possible CPUID words. In particular, it doesn't contain the code for CPU feature words 2 (Transmeta), 3 (Linux-specific), 5 (VIA), or 7 (scattered). Zero them out, so we can still set those bits as known at compile time; in particular, this allows creating a Linux-specific NOPL flag and have it required (and therefore resolvable at compile time) in 64-bit mode.

2008-09-05HPET: make minimum reprogramming delta usefulThomas Gleixner
The minimum reprogramming delta was hardcoded in HPET ticks, which is stupid as it does not work with faster running HPETs. The C1E idle patches made this prominent on AMD/RS690 chipsets, where the HPET runs with 25MHz. Set it to 5us which seems to be a reasonable value and fixes the problems on the bug reporters machines. We have a further sanity check now in the clock events, which increases the delta when it is not sufficient. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Tested-by: Luiz Fernando N.

2008-09-04x86: boot/compressed/Makefile: fix "make clean"H. Peter Anvin
The Kbuild variable "targets" is supposed to be configuration-independent and reflect "all possible targets". This is required to make "make clean" work properly. Therefore, move all manipulation of "targets" as well as custom rules out of the x86-32 ifdef statement. Only leave inside the ifdefs the things that are genuinely configuration-dependent.

2008-09-03x86: Change warning message in TSC calibration.Alok N Kataria
When calibration against PIT fails, the warning that we print is misleading. In a virtualized environment the VM may get descheduled while calibration or, the check in PIT calibration may fail due to other virtualization overheads. The warning message explicitly assumes that calibration failed due to SMI's which may not be the case. Change that to something proper.
