The powernow-k8 driver checks to see that the Performance Control/Status
Registers are declared as FFH (functional fixed hardware) by the BIOS.
However, this check got broken in the commit:
0e64a0c982c06a6b8f5e2a7f29eb108fdf257b2f
[CPUFREQ] checkpatch cleanups for powernow-k8

Pascal reported and bisected a commit:
| x86/PCI: don't call e820_all_mapped with -1 in the mmconfig case
which broke one system system.
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 255
PCI: MCFG area at f0000000 reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
PCI: Using MMCONFIG for extended config space
it didn't have
PCI: updated MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 63
anymore, and try to use 0xf000000 - 0xffffffff for mmconfig
For 32bit, mcfg_res->end could be 32bit only (if 64 resources aren't used)
So use end - 1 to pass the value in mcfg->end to avoid overflow.
We don't need to worry about the e820 path, they are always 64 bit.

shared or not
Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13302
On x86 and x86-64, it is possible that page tables are shared beween
shared mappings backed by hugetlbfs. As part of this,
page_table_shareable() checks a pair of vma->vm_flags and they must match
if they are to be shared. All VMA flags are taken into account, including
VM_LOCKED.
The problem is that VM_LOCKED is cleared on fork(). When a process with a
shared memory segment forks() to exec() a helper, there will be shared
VMAs with different flags. The impact is that the shared segment is
sometimes considered shareable and other times not, depending on what
process is checking.
What happens is that the segment page tables are being shared but the
count is inaccurate depending on the ordering of events. As the page
tables are freed with put_page(), bad pmd's are found when some of the
children exit. The hugepage counters also get corrupted and the Total and
Free count will no longer match even when all the hugepage-backed regions
are freed. This requires a reboot of the machine to "fix".
This patch addresses the problem by comparing all flags except VM_LOCKED
when deciding if pagetables should be shared or not for hugetlbfs-backed
mapping.

The flat loader uses an architecture's flat_stack_align() to align the
stack but assumes word-alignment is enough for the data sections.
However, on the Xtensa S6000 we have registers up to 128bit width
which can be used from userspace and therefor need userspace stack and
data-section alignment of at least this size.
This patch drops flat_stack_align() and uses the same alignment that
is required for slab caches, ARCH_SLAB_MINALIGN, or wordsize if it's
not defined by the architecture.
It also fixes m32r which was obviously kaput, aligning an
uninitialized stack entry instead of the stack pointer.

Add cmpxchg/cmpxchg64 support for ARMv6K and ARMv7 systems
(original patch from Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>)
The cmpxchg and cmpxchg64 functions can be implemented using the
LDREX*/STREX* instructions. Since operand lengths other than 32bit are
required, the full implementations are only available if the ARMv6K
extensions are present (for the LDREXB, LDREXH and LDREXD instructions).
For ARMv6, only 32-bits cmpxchg is available.
Mathieu :
Make cmpxchg_local always available with best implementation for all type sizes (1, 2, 4 bytes).
Make cmpxchg64_local always available.
Use "Ir" constraint for "old" operand, like atomic.h atomic_cmpxchg does.
Change since v3 :
- Add "memory" clobbers (thanks to Nicolas Pitre)
- removed __asmeq(), only needed for old compilers, very unlikely on ARMv6+.
Note : ARMv7-M should eventually be ifdefed-out of cmpxchg64. But it's not
supported by the Linux kernel currently.
Put back arm < v6 cmpxchg support.

Mathieu Desnoyers pointed out that the ARM barriers were lacking:
- cmpxchg, xchg and atomic add return need memory barriers on
architectures which can reorder the relative order in which memory
read/writes can be seen between CPUs, which seems to include recent
ARM architectures. Those barriers are currently missing on ARM.
- test_and_xxx_bit were missing SMP barriers.
So put these barriers in. Provide separate atomic_add/atomic_sub
operations which do not require barriers.

The implementation we just revived has issues, such as using a
Kconfig-defined virtual address area in kernel space that nothing
actually carves out (and thus will overlap whatever is there),
or having some dependencies on being self contained in a single
PTE page which adds unnecessary constraints on the kernel virtual
address space.
This fixes it by using more classic PTE accessors and automatically
locating the area for consistent memory, carving an appropriate hole
in the kernel virtual address space, leaving only the size of that
area as a Kconfig option. It also brings some dma-mask related fixes
from the ARM implementation which was almost identical initially but
grew its own fixes.

This reverts commit 33f00dcedb0e22cdb156a23632814fc580fcfcf8.
While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-(
Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
our custom virtual space allocator.
There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.
However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

powerpc/mm: Fix broken MMU PID stealing on !SMP
|
|
Slightly modified by trenn@suse.de -> only do this on fam 10h and fam 11h.
Currently powernow-k8 determines CPU frequency from ACPI PSS objects, but
according to AMD family 11h BKDG this frequency is just a rounded value:
"CoreFreq (MHz) = The CPU COF specified by MSRC001_00[6B:64][CpuFid]
rounded to the nearest 100 Mhz."
As a consequnce powernow-k8 reports wrong CPU frequency on some systems,
e.g. on Turion X2 Ultra:
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Turion(tm)X2 Ultra DualCore Mobile ZM-82
processors (2 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: 0 : pstate 0 (2200 MHz)
powernow-k8: 1 : pstate 1 (1100 MHz)
powernow-k8: 2 : pstate 2 (600 MHz)
But this is wrong as frequency for Pstate2 is 550 MHz. x86info reports it
correctly:
#x86info -a |grep Pstate
...
Pstate-0: fid=e, did=0, vid=24 (2200MHz)
Pstate-1: fid=e, did=1, vid=30 (1100MHz)
Pstate-2: fid=e, did=2, vid=3c (550MHz) (current)
Solution is to determine the frequency directly from Pstate MSRs instead
of using rounded values from ACPI table.

For relocatable 32bit kernels, boot/compressed/relocs.c processes
relocation entries in the kernel image and appends it to the kernel
image such that boot/compressed/head_32.S can relocate the kernel.
The kernel image is one statically linked object and only uses two
relocation types - R_386_PC32 and R_386_32, of the two only the latter
needs massaging during kernel relocation and thus handled by relocs.
R_386_PC32 is ignored and all other relocation types are considered
error.
When the target of a relocation resides in a discarded section,
binutils doesn't throw away the relocation record but nullifies it by
changing it to R_386_NONE, which unfortunately makes relocs fail.
The problem was triggered by yet out-of-tree x86 stack unwind patches
but given the binutils behavior, ignoring R_386_NONE is the right
thing to do.
The problem has been tracked down to binutils behavior by Jan Beulich.

The processor is documented to reload the PDPTRs while in PAE mode if any
of the CR4 bits PSE, PGE, or PAE change. Linux relies on this
behaviour when zapping the low mappings of PAE kernels during boot.
The code already handled changes to CR4.PAE; augment it to also notice changes
to PSE and PGE.
This triggered while booting an F11 PAE kernel; the futex initialization code
runs before any CR3 reloads and writes to a NULL pointer; the futex subsystem
ended up uninitialized, killing PI futexes and pulseaudio which uses them.

Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page
attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the
first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up
updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the
alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data
corruption. Please read the following threads for more information:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783
The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu
aliases.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157

inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables

Remove ACPI 3 E820 extended memory attributes support. At least one
vendor actively set all the flags to zero, but left ECX on return at
24. This bug may be present in other BIOSes.
The breakage functionally means the ACPI 3 flags are probably
completely useless, and that no OS any time soon is going to rely on
their existence. Therefore, drop support completely. We may want to
revisit this question in the future, if we find ourselves actually
needing the flags.
This reverts all or part of the following checkins:
cd670599b7b00d9263f6f11a05c0edeb9cbedaf3
c549e71d073a6e9a4847497344db28a784061455
However, retain the part from the latter commit that copies e820 into
a temporary buffer; that is an unrelated BIOS workaround. Put in a
comment to explain that part.
