2007-03-23[PATCH] x86_64: avoid sending LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR IPI to itselfThomas Gleixner
Ray Lee reported, that on an UP kernel with "noapic" command line option set, the box locks hard during boot. Adding some debug printks revealed, that the last action on the box before stalling was "Send IPI" - a debug printk which was put into smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi(). It seems that send_IPI_mask(mask, LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR) fails when "noapic" is set on the command line on an UP kernel. Aside of that it does not make much sense to trigger an interrupt instead of calling the function directly on the CPU which gets the PIT/HPET interrupt in case of broadcasting.

2007-03-08[PATCH] x86_64: fix 2.6.18 regression - PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be acceptedPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Also PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS should be accepted, as done by kernel/ptrace.c and forced by binary compatibility. UML/32bit breaks because of this - since it is wise enough to use PTRACE_OLDSETOPTIONS to be binary compatible with 2.4 host kernels. Until 2.6.17 (commit f0f2d6536e3515b5b1b7ae97dc8f176860c8c2ce) we had: default: return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data); Instead here we have: case PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA: case ...: return sys_ptrace(request, pid, addr, data); default: return -EINVAL; This change was a style change - when a case is added, it must be explicitly tested this way. In this case, not enough testing was done.

2007-03-07[PATCH] CPU hotplug: call check_tsc_sync_source() with irqs offIngo Molnar
check_tsc_sync_source() depends on being called with irqs disabled (it checks whether the TSC is coherent across two specific CPUs). This is incidentally true during bootup, but not during cpu hotplug __cpu_up(). This got found via smp_processor_id() debugging. disable irqs explicitly and remove the unconditional enabling of interrupts. Add touch_nmi_watchdog() to the cpu_online_map busy loop. this bug is present both on i386 and on x86_64.

2007-03-05[PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)john stultz
This patch resolves the issue found here: http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426 The basic summary is: Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case), where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to the small sampling time used. It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init time. Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall). This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own boxes.

2007-02-28[PATCH] x86_64/i386 irq: Fix !CONFIG_SMP compilationEric W. Biederman
When removing set_native_irq I missed the fact that it was called in a couple of places that were compiled even when SMP support is disabled. And since the irq_desc[].affinity field only exists in SMP things broke. Thanks to Simon Arlott <simon@arlott.org> for spotting this. There are a couple of ways to fix this but the simplest one is to just remove the assignments. The affinity field is only used to display a value to the user, and nothing on either i386 or x86_64 reads it or depends on it being any particlua value, so skipping the assignment is safe. The assignment that is being removed is just for the initial affinity value before the user explicitly sets it. The irq_desc array initializes this field to CPU_MASK_ALL so the field is initialized to a reasonable value in the SMP case without being set. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-26[PATCH] x86_64 irq: Safely cleanup an irq after moving it.Eric W. Biederman
The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location? With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has shown that this does not work. So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed. Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been processed through the local apics. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-20rdmsr_on_cpu, wrmsr_on_cpuAlexey Dobriyan
There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP. In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general. This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr and wrmsr on given physical cpu by means of smp_call_function_single(). Dave Jones mentioned cpufreq might be not only user of rdmsr_on_cpu() and wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm putting them into arch/{i386,x86_64}/lib/ .

2007-02-16[PATCH] genirq: do not mask interrupts by defaultIngo Molnar
Never mask interrupts immediately upon request. Disabling interrupts in high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively only masking interrupts after they happen. (NOTE: with this change the highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.) Mark i8529A controllers as 'never loses an edge'.

This patch converts x86_64 to use the GENERIC_TIME infrastructure and adds clocksource structures for both TSC and HPET (ACPI PM is shared w/ i386).

2007-02-16[PATCH] time: x86_64: hpet_address cleanupjohn stultz
In preparation for supporting generic timekeeping, this patch cleans up x86-64's use of vxtime.hpet_address, changing it to just hpet_address as is also used in i386. This is necessary since the vxtime structure will be going away.

2007-02-16[PATCH] x86: rewrite SMP TSC sync codeIngo Molnar
make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and i386. The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems. The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned off. The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
