* [PATCH] kdump: save registers early (inline functions)Vivek Goyal2006-01-101-44/+3Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec). - In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back trace problems for ppc64. - This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made inline - crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386. crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is pushed onto stack.

* [PATCH] kdump: dynamic per cpu allocation of memory for saving cpu registersVivek Goyal2006-01-101-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated statically for NR_CPUS. - This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes. It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage. - Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions. - This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I upgraded my Toshiba Satellite BIOS recently to see if it would fix an ACPI related problem I have (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5727). Unfortunately, it didn't, and moreover, Toshiba chose to change the system version in the DMI table with the update, causing the OHCI1394 related quirk to break. This patch updates the DMI table for the quirk to include Toshiba's new version name for this machine; I've tested it and it seems to work fine.

* [PATCH] Swap Migration V5: sys_migrate_pages interfaceChristoph Lameter2006-01-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org. The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node. sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide to manually control the migration. This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's implementation. The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset. Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

* [PATCH] i386: ioapic virtual wire mode fixVivek Goyal2006-01-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Currently, during kexec reboot, IOAPIC is re-programmed back to virtual wire mode if there was an i8259 connected to it. This enables getting timer interrupts in second kernel in legacy mode. o After putting into virtual wire mode, IOAPIC delivers the i8259 interrupts to CPU0. This works well for kexec but not for kdump as we might crash on a different CPU and second kernel will not see timer interrupts. o This patch modifies the redirection table entry to deliver the timer interrupts to the cpu we are rebooting (instead of hardcoding to zero). This ensures that second kernel receives timer interrupts even on a non-boot cpu.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'make rodata read-only' patch in -mm exposes a latent bug in the 32-bit change_page_attr() function, which causes certain CPUs (Those with NX basically) to reboot instantly after pages are marked read-only. The same bug got fixed a while back on x86-64, but never got propagated to i386. Stuart Hayes from Dell also picked up on this last June, but it never got fixed, as the only thing affected by it aparently was the nvidia driver. Blatantly stealing description from his post.. "It doesn't appear to be fixed (in the i386 arch). The change_page_attr()/split_large_page() code will still still set all the 4K PTEs to PAGE_KERNEL (setting the _PAGE_NX bit) when a large page needs to be split. This wouldn't be a problem for the bulk of the kernel memory, but there are pages in the lower 4MB of memory that's free, and are part of large executable pages that also contain kernel code. If change_page_attr() is called on these, it will set the _PAGE_NX bit on the whole 2MB region that was covered by the large page, causing a large chunk of kernel code to be non-executable."

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PnP BIOS data, code, and 32-bit entry segments all have fixed limits as well; set them in the GDT rather than adding more code. It would be nice to add these fixups to the boot GDT rather than setting the GDT for each CPU; perhaps I can wiggle this in later, but getting it in before the subsys init looks tricky. Also, make some progress on deprecating the ugly Q_SET_SEL macros.

* [PATCH] x86: Pnp byte granularityZachary Amsden2006-01-061-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The one remaining caller of set_limit, the PnP BIOS code, calls into the PnP BIOS, passing kernel parameters in and out. These parameteres may be passed from arbitrary kernel virtual memory, so they deserve strict protection to stop a bad BIOS from smashing beyond the object size. Unfortunately, the use of set_limit was badly botching this by setting the limit in terms of pages, when it really should have byte granularity. When doing this, I discovered my BIOS had the buggy code during the "get system device node" call: mov ax, es:[bx] Which is harmless, but has a trivial workaround.

* [PATCH] x86: Always relax segmentsZachary Amsden2006-01-061-38/+17Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | APM BIOSes have many bugs regarding proper representation of the appropriate segment limits for calling the BIOS. By default, APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS is always turned on to support running the APM BIOS on these buggy machines. Keeping 64k limits poses very little danger to the kernel, because the pages where the APM BIOS is located will always be in low physical memory BIOS areas, which should already be marked reserved, and only buggy BIOSes would possibly overstep the segment bounds with writes to data anyway. Since forcing stricter limits breaks many machines and is not default behavior, it seems reasonable to deprecate the older code which may cause APM BIOS to fault. If you really have a badly enough broken APM BIOS that you have to turn off APM_RELAX_SEGMENTS, seems like the best recourse here would be to disable the APM BIOS and / or not compile it into your kernel to begin with, and / or add your system to the known bad list. The reason I want to deprecate this code is there is underlying brokenness with the set_limit macros, and getting rid of many of the call sites rather than rewriting them seems to be the simplest and most correct course of action.

* [PATCH] x86: Cr4 is valid on some 486sZachary Amsden2006-01-061-3/+1Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | So some 486 processors do have CR4 register. Allow them to present it in register dumps by using the old fault technique rather than testing processor family.
