* provide rtc_cmos platform deviceStas Sergeev2008-06-121-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me. It turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around the parport_pc bugs. I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the past, and now it have regressed. The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC when PNP is disabled. This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel on an older PCs.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from. Too bad, lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace? The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess this is the case. Yep, seems like it.

| * x86: fix endless page faults in mount_block_root for Linux 2.6Henry Nestler2008-06-121-0/+5

Fix rarely endless page faults inside mount_block_root for root filesystem at boot time. All 32bit kernels up to 2.6.25 can fail into this hole. I can not present this under native linux kernel. I see, that the 64bit has fixed the problem. I copied the same lines into 32bit part. Recorded debugs are from coLinux kernel 2.6.22.18 (virtualisation): http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/pfn-check-0.7.3/20080410-antinx/bug16-recursive-page-fault-endless.txt The physicaly memory was trimmed down to 192MB to better catch the bug. More memory gets the bug more rarely. Details, how every x86 32bit system can fail: Start from "mount_block_root", http://lxr.linux.no/linux/init/do_mounts.c#L297 There the variable "fs_names" got one memory page with 4096 bytes. Variable "p" walks through the existing file system types. The first string is no problem. But, with the second loop in mount_block_root the offset of "p" is not at beginning of page, the offset is for example +9, if "reiserfs" is the first in list. Than calls do_mount_root, and lands in sys_mount. Remember: Variable "type_page" contains now "fs_type+9" and not contains a full page. The sys_mount copies 4096 bytes with function "exact_copy_from_user()": http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1540 Mostly exist pages after the buffer "fs_names+4096+9" and the page fault handler was not called. No problem. In the case, if the page after "fs_names+4096" is not mapped, the page fault handler was called from http://lxr.linux.no/linux/fs/namespace.c#L1320 The do_page_fault gots an address 0xc03b4000. It's kernel address, address >= TASK_SIZE, but not from vmalloc! It's from "__getname()" alias "kmem_cache_alloc". The "error_code" is 0. "vmalloc_fault" will be call: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L332 "vmalloc_fault" tryed to find the physical page for a non existing virtual memory area. The macro "pte_present" in vmalloc_fault() got a next page fault for 0xc0000ed0 at: http://lxr.linux.no/linux/arch/i386/mm/fault.c#L282 No PTE exist for such virtual address. The page fault handler was trying to sync the physical page for the PTE lockup. This called vmalloc_fault() again for address 0xc000000, and that also was not existing. The endless began... In normal case the cpu would still loop with disabled interrrupts. Under coLinux this was catched by a stack overflow inside printk debugs.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have a few instances of the open-coded iterative div/mod loop, used when we don't expcet the dividend to be much bigger than the divisor. Unfortunately modern gcc's have the tendency to strength "reduce" this into a full mod operation, which isn't necessarily any faster, and even if it were, doesn't exist if gcc implements it in libgcc. The workaround is to put a dummy asm statement in the loop to prevent gcc from performing the transformation. This patch creates a single implementation of this loop, and uses it to replace the open-coded versions I know about.

VMware Workstation 6.5 checks CR4.VMXE as a proxy for whether the CPU is in VMX mode, so leaving VMXE set means we'll refuse to power on.

| * KVM: x86 emulator: fix hypercall return value on AMDAvi Kivity2008-06-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hypercall instructions on Intel and AMD are different. KVM allows the guest to choose one or the other (the default is Intel), and if the guest chooses incorrectly, KVM will patch it at runtime to select the correct instruction. This allows live migration between Intel and AMD machines. This patching occurs in the x86 emulator. The current code also executes the hypercall. Unfortunately, the tail end of the x86 emulator code also executes, overwriting the return value of the hypercall with the original contents of rax (which happens to be the hypercall number). Fix not by executing the hypercall in the emulator context; instead let the guest reissue the patched instruction and execute the hypercall via the normal path.

| * PCI/x86: fix up PCI stuff so that PCI_GOANY supports OLPCAndres Salomon2008-06-054-10/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, one would have to specifically choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOOLPC in order to enable PCI_OLPC. That doesn't really work for distro kernels, so this patch allows one to choose CONFIG_OLPC and CONFIG_PCI_GOANY in order to build in OLPC support in a generic kernel (as requested by Robert Millan). This also moves GOOLPC before GOANY in the menuconfig list. Finally, make pci_access_init return early if we detect OLPC hardware. There's no need to continue probing stuff, and pci_pcbios_init specifically trashes our settings (we didn't run into that before because PCI_GOANY wasn't supported).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT, and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU optimization". Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore() which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents making a blocking call in __switch_to(). Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible. It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario: process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math() Got an interrupt and pre-empted out. At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math() This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore() And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored (save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining part of the signal handling after the context switch.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clarify the usage of mtrr_lookup() in PAT code, and to make PAT code resilient to mtrr lookup problems. Specifically, pat_x_mtrr_type() is restructured to highlight, under what conditions we look for mtrr hint. pat_x_mtrr_type() uses a default type when there are any errors in mtrr lookup (still maintaining the pat consistency). And, reserve_memtype() highlights its usage ot mtrr_lookup for request type of '-1' and also defaults in a sane way on any mtrr lookup failure. pat.c looks at mtrr type of a range to get a hint on what mapping type to request when user/API: (1) hasn't specified any type (/dev/mem mapping) and we do not want to take performance hit by always mapping UC_MINUS. This will be the case for /dev/mem mappings used to map BIOS area or ACPI region which are WB'able. In this case, as long as MTRR is not WB, PAT will request UC_MINUS for such mappings. (2) user/API requests WB mapping while in reality MTRR may have UC or WC. In this case, PAT can map as WB (without checking MTRR) and still effective type will be UC or WC. But, a subsequent request to map same region as UC or WC may fail, as the region will get trackked as WB in PAT list. Looking at MTRR hint helps us to track based on effective type rather than what user requested. Again, here mtrr_lookup is only used as hint and we fallback to WB mapping (as requested by user) as default. In both cases, after using the mtrr hint, we still go through the memtype list to make sure there are no inconsistencies among multiple users.

* x86: enable preemption in delaySteven Rostedt2008-06-042-8/+53
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The RT team has been searching for a nasty latency. This latency shows up out of the blue and has been seen to be as big as 5ms! Using ftrace I found the cause of the latency. pcscd-2995 3dNh1 52360300us : irq_exit (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : idle_cpu (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360301us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : smp_apic_timer_interrupt (apic_timer_interrupt ) pcscd-2995 3dN.1 52360771us : exit_idle (smp_apic_timer_interrupt) Here's an example of a 400 us latency. pcscd took a timer interrupt and returned with "need resched" enabled, but did not reschedule until after the next interrupt came in at 52360771us 400us later! At first I thought we somehow missed a preemption check in entry.S. But I also noticed that this always seemed to happen during a __delay call. pcscd-2995 3dN.2 52360836us : rcu_irq_exit (irq_exit) pcscd-2995 3.N.. 52361265us : preempt_schedule (__delay) Looking at the x86 delay, I found my problem. In git commit 35d5d08a085c56f153458c3f5d8ce24123617faf, Andrew Morton placed preempt_disable around the entire delay due to TSC's not working nicely on SMP. Unfortunately for those that care about latencies this is devastating! Especially when we have callers to mdelay(8). Here I enable preemption during the loop and account for anytime the task migrates to a new CPU. The delay asked for may be extended a bit by the migration, but delay only guarantees that it will delay for that minimum time. Delaying longer should not be an issue.

This is unlikely to happen but it would definitely render sched_clock() unusable. This was introduced with commit 53d517cdbaac704352b3d0c10fecb99e0b54572e x86: scale cyc_2_nsec according to CPU frequency Update the per CPU cyc2ns variables in all exit pathes of tsc_calibrate.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The longrun cpufreq module reports a false minimum frequency 3MHz on 300-600MHz Crusoe processor. This may be due to a calculation bug in the module.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The most common error with powernow-k8 is an ACPI _PSS error caused either by failure to load the ACPI processor module or a bad parse of the _PSS object. Make the error message returned to the user in these situations more straightforward and easier to understand. -Mark Langsdorf Operating System Research Center AMD Signed-off-by: Mark Langsdorf <mark.langsdorf@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
