2008-07-22x86: consolidate header guardsVegard Nossum
This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/. The format: 1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved. 2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h. 3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single underscores. Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>
2008-06-12x86: rename pat_wc_enabled to pat_enabledAndreas Herrmann
BTW, what does pat_wc_enabled stand for? Does it mean "write-combining"? Currently it is used to globally switch on or off PAT support. Thus I renamed it to pat_enabled. I think this increases readability (and hope that I didn't miss something). Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-05-08x86: cleanup PAT cpu validationThomas Gleixner
Move the scattered checks for PAT support to a single function. Its moved to addon_cpuid_features.c as this file is shared between 32 and 64 bit. Remove the manipulation of the PAT feature bit and just disable PAT in the PAT layer, based on the PAT bit provided by the CPU and the current CPU version/model white list. Change the boot CPU check so it works on Voyager somewhere in the future as well :) Also panic, when a secondary has PAT disabled but the primary one has alrady switched to PAT. We have no way to undo that. The white list is kept for now to ensure that we can rely on known to work CPU types and concentrate on the software induced problems instead of fighthing CPU erratas and subtle wreckage caused by not yet verified CPUs. Once the PAT code has stabilized enough, we can remove the white list and open the can of worms. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-17x86: PAT infrastructure patchvenkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com
Sets up pat_init() infrastructure. PAT MSR has following setting. PAT |PCD ||PWT ||| 000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_WB 001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_WC 010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS 011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_UC We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC. UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem users(X). reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT. pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr are same.
