2006-10-04[PATCH] htirq: tidy up the htirq codeEric W. Biederman
This moves the declarations for the architecture helpers into include/linux/htirq.h from the generic include/linux/pci.h. Hopefully this will make this distinction clearer. htirq.h is included where it is needed. The dependency on the msi code is fixed and removed. The Makefile is tidied up. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch codeEric W. Biederman
It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq. For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate platform code. With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this actually takes less code. The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-10-04[PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt supportEric W. Biederman
This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for arch specific irq_chip handlers. The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged. However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19 Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be generalized to work there. I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less interesting. However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

2006-10-04[PATCH] genirq: x86_64 irq: Remove the msi assumption that irq == vectorEric W. Biederman
This patch removes the change in behavior of the irq allocation code when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is defined. Removing all instances of the assumption that irq == vector. create_irq is rewritten to first allocate a free irq and then to assign that irq a vector. assign_irq_vector is made static and the AUTO_ASSIGN case which allocates an vector not bound to an irq is removed. The ioapic vector methods are removed, and everything now works with irqs. The definition of NR_IRQS no longer depends on CONFIG_PCI_MSI Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This removes the hardcoded assumption that irq == vector in the msi composition code, and it allows the msi message composition to setup logical mode, or lowest priorirty delivery mode as we do for other apic interrupts, and with the same selection criteria.

2006-10-01[PATCH] kill wall_jiffiesAtsushi Nemoto
With 2.6.18-rc4-mm2, now wall_jiffies will always be the same as jiffies. So we can kill wall_jiffies completely. This is just a cleanup and logically should not change any real behavior except for one thing: RTC updating code in (old) ppc and xtensa use a condition "jiffies - wall_jiffies == 1". This condition is never met so I suppose it is just a bug. I just remove that condition only instead of kill the whole "if" block.

2006-09-30[PATCH] Re-positioning the bss segmentVivek Goyal
[AK: This apparently broke some systems, but we need it to fix a compile problem with old binutils and in theory the patch is correct. So let's trying reenabling it again.] o Currently bss segment is being placed somewhere in the middle (after .data) section and after bss lots of init section and data sections are coming. Is it intentional? o One side affect of placing bss in the middle is that objcopy keeps the bss in raw binary image (vmlinux.bin) hence unnecessarily increasing the size of raw binary image. (In my case ~600K). It also increases the size of generated bzImage, though the increase is very small (896 bytes), probably a very high compression ratio for stream of zeros. o This patch moves the bss at the end hence reducing the size of bzImage by 896 bytes and size of vmlinux.bin by 600K. o This change benefits in the context of relocatable kernel patches. If kernel bss is not part of compressed data (vmlinux.bin) then it does not have to be decompressed and this area can be used by the decompressor for its execution hence keeping the memory requirements bounded and decompressor code does not stomp over any other data loaded beyond kernel image (As might be the case with bootloaders like kexec).

2006-09-29[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)Atsushi Nemoto
Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Change the name of pagedir_nosaveRafael J. Wysocki
The name of the pagedir_nosave variable does not make sense any more, so it seems reasonable to change it to something more meaningful. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Make swsusp avoid memory holes and reserved memory regions on x86_64Rafael J. Wysocki
On x86_64 machines with more than 2 GB of RAM there are large memory gaps (with no corresponding kernel virtual addresses) and reserved memory regions between areas of usable physical RAM. Moreover, if CONFIG_FLATMEM is set, they appear within the normal zone. swsusp should not try to save them, so the corresponding page structs have to be marked as 'nosave'. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

If we're going to implement smp_call_function_single() on three architecture with the same prototype then it should have a declaration in a non-arch-specific header file. Move it into <linux/smp.h>.

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Add a cumulative thermal throttle event counter.Dmitriy Zavin
The counter is exported to /sys that keeps track of the number of thermal events, such that the user knows how bad the thermal problem might be (since the logging to syslog and mcelog is rate limited).

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Refactor thermal throttle processingDmitriy Zavin
Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting) into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting of CPU thermal throttle events. After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit) the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing ↵Andi Kleen
conf1 Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early accesses which are always type1. This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter. I don't think this can break anything because it only changes a single global that is only used by PCI.

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich
Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-09-26[PATCH] Don't synchronize time reading on single core AMD systemsAndi Kleen
