* [PATCH] i386 sparsemem for single node systemsAndy Whitcroft2006-01-062-2/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow SPARSEMEM to be enabled on non-numa x86 systems. This is made dependant on EXPERIMENTAL also being set. When an in-tree user (such as simulated numa) exists it should be made dependant on that. The plan is to have no options and no selector as normal when !EXPERIMENTAL. When EXPERIMENTAL we enable the FLATMEM and SPARSEMEM options for X86_PC whilst maintaining DISCONTIGMEM and SPARSEMEM for NUMA.

* [PATCH] x86/x86_64: mark rodata section read only: generic x86-64 bugfixArjan van de Ven2006-01-061-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64: when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms. This is fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last part of the kernel .text! The fix is to not invent a new permission for the new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

* [PATCH] x86: Fixed pnp bios limitsZachary Amsden2006-01-061-4/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch makes FRV signal handling work properly: (1) After do_notify_resume() has been called, the work flags must be checked again (there may be another signal to deliver or the process might require rescheduling for instance). (2) After the signal frame is set up on the userspace stack, ptrace() should be given an opportunity to single-step into the signal handler. (3) The error state from setting up a signal frame should be passed back up the call chain. (4) The segfault handler shouldn't be preemptively reset in the arch if we fail to deliver a SEGV signal: force_sig() will take care of that.

Today the answer is: It depends. On i386: SMP kernel - It is always the boot frequency UP kernel - Scales with the frequency change and shows that was last set. On x86_64: There is one single variable cpu_khz that gets written by all the CPUs. So, the frequency set by last CPU will be seen on /proc/cpuinfo of all the CPUs in the system. What you see also depends on whether you have constant_tsc capable CPU or not. On ia64: It is always boot time frequency of a particular CPU that gets displayed. The patch below changes this to: Show the last known frequency of the particular CPU, when cpufreq is present. If cpu doesnot support changing of frequency through cpufreq, then boot frequency will be shown. The patch affects i386, x86_64 and ia64 architectures.

| | * | | [CPUFREQ] Measure transition latency at driver initializationMattia Dongili2005-12-074-3/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The attached patch introduces runtime latency measurement for ICH[234] based chipsets instead of using CPUFREQ_ETERNAL. It includes some sanity checks in case the measured value is out of range and assigns a safe value of 500uSec that should still be enough on problematics chipsets (current testing report values ~200uSec). The measurement is currently done in speedstep_get_freqs in order to avoid further unnecessary transitions and in the hope it'll come handy for SMI also.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a user has booted with 'quiet', some important messages don't get displayed which really should. We've seen at least one case where powernow-k8 stopped working, and the user needed a BIOS update that they didn't know about. Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
