2008-10-21i7300_idle driver v1.55Andy Henroid
The Intel 7300 Memory Controller supports dynamic throttling of memory which can be used to save power when system is idle. This driver does the memory throttling when all CPUs are idle on such a system. Refer to "Intel 7300 Memory Controller Hub (MCH)" datasheet for the config space description.

2008-10-06kgdb, x86: Avoid invoking kgdb_nmicallback twice per NMIJan Kiszka
Stress-testing KVM's latest NMI support with kgdbts inside an SMP guest, I came across spurious unhandled NMIs while running the singlestep test. Looking closer at the code path each NMI takes when KGDB is enabled, I noticed that kgdb_nmicallback is called twice per event: One time via DIE_NMI_IPI notification, the second time on DIE_NMI. Removing the first invocation cures the unhandled NMIs here. Signed-off-by: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
2008-10-06x86 ACPI: Blacklist two HP machines with buggy BIOSesRafael J. Wysocki
There is a bug in the BIOSes of some HP boxes with AMD Turions which connects IO-APIC pins with ACPI thermal trip points in such a way that if the state of the IO-APIC is not as expected by the (buggy) BIOS, the thermal trip points are set to insanely low values (usually all of them become 16 degrees Celsius). As a result, thermal throttling kicks in and knock the system down to its shoes. Unfortunately some of the recent IO-APIC changes made the bug show up. To prevent this from happening, blacklist machines that are known to be affected (nx6115 and 6715b in this particular case). This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11516 listed as a regression from 2.6.26. On my box it was caused by: commit 691874fa96d6349a8b60f8ea9c2bae52ece79941 Author: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Date: Tue May 27 21:19:51 2008 +0100 x86: I/O APIC: timer through 8259A second-chance Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

It appears that the buggy BIOS code has been copy-pasted to the entire range of machines, for no good reason. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

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>

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>

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>

For example starting with BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000100 - 0000000000093400 (usable) BIOS-e820: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000003fee0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003fef3000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000003fef3000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 000000003ff80000 - 0000000040000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) and booting with args memmap=exactmap memmap=640K@0K memmap=5228K@16384K memmap=125188K@22252K memmap=76K#1047424K memmap=564K#1047500K resulted in: user-defined physical RAM map: user: 0000000000000000 - 0000000000093400 (usable) user: 0000000000093400 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) user: 0000000000100000 - 000000003fee0000 (usable) user: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003fef3000 (ACPI data) user: 000000003fef3000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI NVS) user: 000000003ff80000 - 0000000040000000 (reserved) user: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0000000 (reserved) user: 00000000fec00000 - 00000000fec10000 (reserved) user: 00000000fee00000 - 00000000fee01000 (reserved) user: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) But should have resulted in: user-defined physical RAM map: user: 0000000000000000 - 00000000000a0000 (usable) user: 0000000001000000 - 000000000151b000 (usable) user: 00000000015bb000 - 0000000008ffc000 (usable) user: 000000003fee0000 - 000000003ff80000 (ACPI data) This is happening because of an improper usage of strcmp() in the e820 parsing code. The strcmp() always returns !0 and never resets the value for e820.nr_map and returns an incorrect user-defined map. This patch fixes the problem.

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>

2008-09-06x86: cpu_init(): fix memory leak when using CPU hotplugAndreas Herrmann
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.

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>

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.
