* x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.Juergen Beisert2007-07-222-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Due to index register access ordering problems, when using macros a line like this fails (and does nothing): setCx86(CX86_CCR2, getCx86(CX86_CCR2) | 0x88); With inlined functions this line will work as expected. Note about a side effect: Seems on Geode GX1 based systems the "suspend on halt power saving feature" was never enabled due to this wrong macro expansion. With inlined functions it will be enabled, but this will stop the TSC when the CPU runs into a HLT instruction. Kernel output something like this: Clocksource tsc unstable (delta = -472746897 ns) This is the 3rd version of this patch. - Adding missed arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/state.c Thanks to Andres Salomon - Adding some big fat comments into the new header file Suggested by Andi Kleen AK: fixed x86-64 compilation Signed-off-by: Juergen Beisert <juergen@kreuzholzen.de> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* MTRR: Fix race causing set_mtrr to go into infinite loopLoic Prylli2007-07-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set after .count field is properly initialized. Without an explicit barrier, the compiler was reordering those memory stores. That was sometimes causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement .count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a infinite loop with irqs disabled).

* i386: remove bogus mtrr range checkLinus Torvalds2007-07-011-5/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9215da33209b861b01c51382254b178a3fe92a30 "fixed" the MTRR range check to not allow any MTRR's under the 1MB mark (since that's where the fixed MTRR's are active). However, that was totally bogus, since it's normal (and almost required) to have a large variable MTRR that starts at 0, and covers some large percentage of the whole RAM, and then using the fixed MTRR's to override that large MTRR to handle the special ISA hole in the 640k-1M region. The old check was bogus too (checking that no variable MTRR is used that is entirely under the 1MB range), but at least it wasn't actively detrimental, because no sane situation would ever trigger such MTRR usage in the first place. That said, the whole notion of not allowing variable MTRR's in the low 1MB is just stupid, so rather than revert the commit, this just removes the whole sad and unnecessary check entirely.

* [PATCH] i386: Enable support for fixed-range IORRs to keep RdMem & WrMem in syncBernhard Kaindl2007-05-021-25/+60
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If our copy of the MTRRs of the BSP has RdMem or WrMem set, and we are running on an AMD64/K8 system, the boot CPU must have had MtrrFixDramEn and MtrrFixDramModEn set (otherwise our RDMSR would have copied these bits cleared), so we set them on this CPU as well. This allows us to keep the AMD64/K8 RdMem and WrMem bits in sync across the CPUs of SMP systems in order to fullfill the duty of system software to "initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors." as written in the AMD and Intel manuals. If an WRMSR instruction fails because MtrrFixDramModEn is not set, I expect that also the Intel-style MTRR bits are not updated.

* [PATCH] x86: Save the MTRRs of the BSP before booting an APBernhard Kaindl2007-05-021-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Applied fix by Andew Morton: http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/8/88 - Fix `make headers_check'. AMD and Intel x86 CPU manuals state that it is the responsibility of system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors in Multi-Processing Environments. Quote from page 188 of the AMD64 System Programming manual (Volume 2): 7.6.5 MTRRs in Multi-Processing Environments "In multi-processing environments, the MTRRs located in all processors must characterize memory in the same way. Generally, this means that identical values are written to the MTRRs used by the processors." (short omission here) "Failure to do so may result in coherency violations or loss of atomicity. Processor implementations do not check the MTRR settings in other processors to ensure consistency. It is the responsibility of system software to initialize and maintain MTRR consistency across all processors." Current Linux MTRR code already implements the above in the case that the BIOS does not properly initialize MTRRs on the secondary processors, but the case where the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor are changed after Linux started to boot, before the initialsation of a secondary processor, is not handled yet. In this case, secondary processors are currently initialized by Linux with MTRRs which the boot processor had very early, when mtrr_bp_init() did run, but not with the MTRRs which the boot processor uses at the time when that secondary processors is actually booted, causing differing MTRR contents on the secondary processors. Such situation happens on Acer Ferrari 1000 and 5000 notebooks where the BIOS enables and sets AMD-specific IORR bits in the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor when it transitions the system into ACPI mode. The SMI handler of the BIOS does this in SMM, entered while Linux ACPI code runs acpi_enable(). Other occasions where the SMI handler of the BIOS may change bits in the MTRRs could occur as well. To initialize newly booted secodary processors with the fixed-range MTRRs which the boot processor uses at that time, this patch saves the fixed-range MTRRs of the boot processor before new secondary processors are started. When the secondary processors run their Linux initialisation code, their fixed-range MTRRs will be updated with the saved fixed-range MTRRs. If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_state as an empty statement because there is nothing to do. Possible TODOs: *) CPU-hotplugging outside of SMP suspend/resume is not yet tested with this patch. *) If, even in this case, an AP never runs i386/do_boot_cpu or x86_64/cpu_up, then the calls to mtrr_save_state() could be replaced by calls to mtrr_save_fixed_ranges(NULL) and mtrr_save_state() would not be needed. That would need either verification of the CPU-hotplug code or at least a test on a >2 CPU machine. *) The MTRRs of other running processors are not yet checked at this time but it might be interesting to syncronize the MTTRs of all processors before booting. That would be an incremental patch, but of rather low priority since there is no machine known so far which would require this.

* [PATCH] x86: Adds mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() for use in two later patches.Bernhard Kaindl2007-05-021-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In this current implementation which is used in other patches, mtrr_save_fixed_ranges() accepts a dummy void pointer because in the current implementation of one of these patches, this function may be called from smp_call_function_single() which requires that this function takes a void pointer argument. This function calls get_fixed_ranges(), passing mtrr_state.fixed_ranges which is the element of the static struct which stores our current backup of the fixed-range MTRR values which all CPUs shall be using. Because mtrr_save_fixed_ranges calls get_fixed_ranges after kernel initialisation time, __init needs to be removed from the declaration of get_fixed_ranges(). If CONFIG_MTRR is not set, we define mtrr_save_fixed_ranges as an empty statement because there is nothing to do.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more) regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes this symmetric. While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code, namely - use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44 physical address bits would become available) - the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR) - the generic range validation code checked that the end of the to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been the start of the range - when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also compatible with the respective opposite in the other Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

Given several further items mentioned in Jan's patch mail, all in all MTRR code seems surprisingly buggy, for a surprisingly long period of time (many years). Further work/investigation would be useful. TBD Note that my patch is pretty much UNTESTED, since I can only verify that it TBD successfully boots my machine, but I cannot test against actual buggy TBD hardware which would require these (formerly broken) checks.

* [PATCH] MTRR suspend/resume cleanupShaohua Li2005-07-083-35/+64
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There has been some discuss about solving the SMP MTRR suspend/resume breakage, but I didn't find a patch for it. This is an intent for it. The basic idea is moving mtrr initializing into cpu_identify for all APs (so it works for cpu hotplug). For BP, restore_processor_state is responsible for restoring MTRR.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-1710-0/+2602
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
