2007-07-22ACPI: create CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG_FUNC_TRACEThomas Renninger
Split ACPI_DEBUG into function trace enabled and not enabled. Function trace is most of the ACPI_DEBUG costs, but is not much of use for kernel ACPI debugging. Size of kernel image increased on test compile: + 48k (Full ACPI_DEBUG) + 35k (ACPI_DEBUG with function trace compiled out) Performance without function trace is also much better. Also remove ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT from default debug level as a lot vendors let Store (value, debug) in their code and this might confuse users when it pops up in syslog.

2007-07-21i386: fix iounmap's use of vm_struct's size fieldJeremy Fitzhardinge
get_vm_area always returns an area with an adjacent guard page. That guard page is included in vm_struct.size. iounmap uses vm_struct.size to determine how much address space needs to have change_page_attr applied to it, which will BUG if applied to the guard page. This patch adds a helper function - get_vm_area_size() in linux/vmalloc.h - to return the actual size of a vm area, and uses it to make iounmap do the right thing. There are probably other places which should be using get_vm_area_size(). Thanks to Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> for debugging the problem.

In the second kernel, when mem is allocated for GART, it will do the memset for clear, it will cause restart, because some device still used that for dma. solution will be: in second kernel: disable that at first before we try to allocate mem for it. or in the first kernel: do disable that before shutdown.

2007-07-21i386: do not restore reserved memory after hibernationRafael J. Wysocki
On some systems the ACPI NVS area is located in the first 1 MB of RAM and it is overwritten by the i386 code during the restore after hibernation. This confuses the ACPI platform firmware that doesn't update the AC adapter status appropriately as a result (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7995). The solution is to register the reserved memory in the first 1 MB as 'nosave', so that swsusp doesn't touch it during the restore. Also, this has been done on x86_64 for a long time now, so this patch makes the i386 restore code behave like the x86_64 one. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fix] Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2007-07-21x86_64: support poll() on /dev/mcelogTim Hockin
Background: /dev/mcelog is typically polled manually. This is less than optimal for situations where accurate accounting of MCEs is important. Calling poll() on /dev/mcelog does not work. Description: This patch adds support for poll() to /dev/mcelog. This results in immediate wakeup of user apps whenever the poller finds MCEs. Because the exception handler can not take any locks, it can not call the wakeup itself. Instead, it uses a thread_info flag (TIF_MCE_NOTIFY) which is caught at the next return from interrupt or exit from idle, calling the mce_user_notify() routine. This patch also disables the "fake panic" path of the mce_panic(), because it results in printk()s in the exception handler and crashy systems. This patch also does some small cleanup for essentially unused variables, and moves the user notification into the body of the poller, so it is only called once per poll, rather than once per CPU. Result: Applications can now poll() on /dev/mcelog. When an error is logged (whether through the poller or through an exception) the applications are woken up promptly. This should not affect any previous behaviors. If no MCEs are being logged, there is no overhead. Alternatives: I considered simply supporting poll() through the poller and not using TIF_MCE_NOTIFY at all. However, the time between an uncorrectable error happening and the user application being notified is *the*most* critical window for us. Many uncorrectable errors can be logged to the network if given a chance. I also considered doing the MCE poll directly from the idle notifier, but decided that was overkill. Testing: I used an error-injecting DIMM to create lots of correctable DRAM errors and verified that my user app is woken up in sync with the polling interval. I also used the northbridge to inject uncorrectable ECC errors, and verified (printk() to the rescue) that the notify routine is called and the user app does wake up. I built with PREEMPT on and off, and verified that my machine survives MCEs.

2007-07-21x86_64: fake pxm-to-node mapping for fake numaDavid Rientjes
For NUMA emulation, our SLIT should represent the true NUMA topology of the system but our proximity domain to node ID mapping needs to reflect the emulated state. When NUMA emulation has successfully setup fake nodes on the system, a new function, acpi_fake_nodes() is called. This function determines the proximity domain (_PXM) for each true node found on the system. It then finds which emulated nodes have been allocated on this true node as determined by its starting address. The node ID to PXM mapping is changed so that each fake node ID points to the PXM of the true node that it is located on. If the machine failed to register a SLIT, then we assume there is no special requirement for emulated node affinity so we use the default LOCAL_DISTANCE, which is newly exported to this code, as our measurement if the emulated nodes appear in the same PXM. Otherwise, we use REMOTE_DISTANCE. PXM_INVAL and NID_INVAL are also exported to the ACPI header file so that we can compare node_to_pxm() results in generic code (in this case, the SRAT code).

This adds caching of pgds and puds, pmds, pte. That way we can avoid costly zeroing and initialization of special mappings in the pgd. A second quicklist is useful to separate out PGD handling. We can carry the initialized pgds over to the next process needing them. Also clean up the pgd_list handling to use regular list macros. There is no need anymore to avoid the lru field. Move the add/removal of the pgds to the pgdlist into the constructor / destructor. That way the implementation is congruent with i386.

2007-07-21x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpuAndi Kleen
This implements new vDSO for x86-64. The concept is similar to the existing vDSOs on i386 and PPC. x86-64 has had static vsyscalls before, but these are not flexible enough anymore. A vDSO is a ELF shared library supplied by the kernel that is mapped into user address space. The vDSO mapping is randomized for each process for security reasons. Doing this was needed for clock_gettime, because clock_gettime always needs a syscall fallback and having one at a fixed address would have made buffer overflow exploits too easy to write. The vdso can be disabled with vdso=0 It currently includes a new gettimeofday implemention and optimized clock_gettime(). The gettimeofday implementation is slightly faster than the one in the old vsyscall. clock_gettime is significantly faster than the syscall for CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME. The new calls are generally faster than the old vsyscall. Advantages over the old x86-64 vsyscalls: - Extensible - Randomized - Cleaner - Easier to virtualize (the old static address range previously causes overhead e.g. for Xen because it has to create special page tables for it) Weak points: - glibc support still to be written The VM interface is partly based on Ingo Molnar's i386 version.

2007-07-21x86: Support __attribute__((__cold__)) in gcc 4.3Andi Kleen
gcc 4.3 supports a new __attribute__((__cold__)) to mark functions cold. Any path directly leading to a call of this function will be unlikely. And gcc will try to generate smaller code for the function itself. Please use with care. The code generation advantage isn't large and in most cases it is not worth uglifying code with this. This patch marks some common error functions like panic(), printk() as cold. This will longer term make many unlikely()s unnecessary, although we can keep them for now for older compilers. BUG is not marked cold because there is currently no way to tell gcc to mark a inline function told. Also all __init and __exit functions are marked cold. With a non -Os build this will tell the compiler to generate slightly smaller code for them. I think it currently only uses less alignments for labels, but that might change in the future. One disadvantage over *likely() is that they cannot be easily instrumented to verify them. Another drawback is that only the latest gcc 4.3 snapshots support this. Unfortunately we cannot detect this using the preprocessor. This means older snapshots will fail now. I don't think that's a problem because they are unreleased compilers that nobody should be using. gcc also has a __hot__ attribute, but I don't see any sense in using this in the kernel right now. But someday I hope gcc will be able to use more aggressive optimizing for hot functions even in -Os, if that happens it should be added. Includes compile fix from Thomas Gleixner.

Also there they can be potentially optimized more in the future. In fact they probably should be in a .S file because they're all pure assembly, but that's for another day. Also some code style cleanup on them while I was on it (this seems to be the last untouched really early Linux code) This saves ~12k text for a defconfig kernel with gcc 4.1.

2007-07-21x86_64: Always use builtin memcpy on gcc 4.3Andi Kleen
Jan asked to always use the builtin memcpy on gcc 4.3 mainline because it should generate better code than the old macro. Let's try it. Cc: Jan Hubicka <jh@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-21x86_64: various cleanups in NUMA scan nodeDavid Rientjes
In acpi_scan_nodes(), we immediately return -1 if acpi_numa <= 0, meaning we haven't detected any underlying ACPI topology or we have explicitly disabled its use from the command-line with numa=noacpi. acpi_table_print_srat_entry() and acpi_table_parse_srat() are only referenced within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we can mark them as static and remove their prototypes from the header file. Likewise, pxm_to_node_map[] and node_to_pxm_map[] are only used within drivers/acpi/numa.c, so we mark them as static and remove their externs from the header file. The automatic 'result' variable is unused in acpi_numa_init(), so it's removed.

On x86_64, <asm/ptrace.h> uses __user but doesn't include <linux/compiler.h>. This could lead to build failures. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2007-07-21NTP: move the cmos update code into ntp.cThomas Gleixner
i386 and sparc64 have the identical code to update the cmos clock. Move it into kernel/time/ntp.c as there are other architectures coming along with the same requirements.
