Adds a simple IRQ autodetection to the AMD Geode MFGPT driver, and more importantly, adds some checks, if IRQs can actually be received on the chosen line.

When a CPU core is shut down, all of its caches need to be flushed to prevent stale data from causing errors if the core is resumed. Current Linux suspend code performs an assignment after the flush, which can add dirty data back to the cache. On some AMD platforms, additional speculative reads have caused crashes on resume because of this dirty data. Relocate the cache flush to be the very last thing done before halting. Tie into an assembly line so the compile will not reorder it. Add some documentation explaining what is going on and why we're doing this.

AMD SB700 based systems with spread spectrum enabled use a SMM based HPET emulation to provide proper frequency setting. The SMM code is initialized with the first HPET register access and takes some time to complete. During this time the config register reads 0xffffffff. We check for max. 1000 loops whether the config register reads a non 0xffffffff value to make sure that HPET is up and running before we go further. A counting loop is safe, as the HPET access takes thousands of CPU cycles. On non SB700 based machines this check is only done once and has no side effects.

For some reason we had two parsers registered for maxcpus=. One in init/main.c and another in arch/x86/smpboot.c. So I nuked the one in arch/x86. Also 64-bit kernels used to handle maxcpus= as documented in Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt. CPUs with 'id > maxcpus' are initialized but not booted. 32-bit version for some reason ignored them even though all the infrastructure for booting them later is there. In the current mainline both 64 and 32 bit versions are broken. This patch restores the correct behaviour. I've tested x86_64 version on 4- and 8- way Core2 and 2-way Opteron based machines. Various config combinations SMP, !SMP, CPU_HOTPLUG, !CPU_HOTPLUG. Booted with maxcpus=1 and maxcpus=4, etc. Everything is working as expected. So far we've received two reports from different people confirming that 32-bit version also works fine, both on dual core laptops and 16way server machines.

commit 11a62a05 turns some formerly nopped debugging printks in arch/x86/kernel/mppparse.c into regular ones. The one at the top of smp_scan_config() in particular also prints on !CONFIG_SMP/CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC kernels and UP machines without anything resembling MP tables which makes their lowly UP owners wonder... Turn the former Dprintk()s into apic_printk()s instead meaning that their printing is dependent on passing the apic=verbose (or =debug) command line param. On 32-bit, "apic" is a __setup() param which isn't early enough for this code and therefore needs a followup changing it into an early_param(). On 64-bit, it already is.

The lowmem mapping table created by VMI need not depend on max_low_pfn at all. Instead we now create an extra large mapping which covers all possible lowmem instead of the physical ram that is actually available. This allows the vmi initialization to be done before max_low_pfn could be computed. We also move the vmi_init code very early in the boot process so that nobody accidentally breaks the fixmap dependancy.

由 Linus Torvalds 提交于
Clean up and optimize cpumask_of_cpu(), by sharing all the zero words. Instead of stupidly generating all possible i=0...NR_CPUS 2^i patterns creating a huge array of constant bitmasks, realize that the zero words can be shared. In other words, on a 64-bit architecture, we only ever need 64 of these arrays - with a different bit set in one single world (with enough zero words around it so that we can create any bitmask by just offsetting in that big array). And then we just put enough zeroes around it that we can point every single cpumask to be one of those things. So when we have 4k CPU's, instead of having 4k arrays (of 4k bits each, with one bit set in each array - 2MB memory total), we have exactly 64 arrays instead, each 8k bits in size (64kB total). And then we just point cpumask(n) to the right position (which we can calculate dynamically). Once we have the right arrays, getting "cpumask(n)" ends up being: static inline const cpumask_t *get_cpu_mask(unsigned int cpu) { const unsigned long *p = cpu_bit_bitmap[1 + cpu % BITS_PER_LONG]; p -= cpu / BITS_PER_LONG; return (const cpumask_t *)p; } This brings other advantages and simplifications as well: - we are not wasting memory that is just filled with a single bit in various different places - we don't need all those games to re-create the arrays in some dense format, because they're already going to be dense enough. if we compile a kernel for up to 4k CPU's, "wasting" that 64kB of memory is a non-issue (especially since by doing this "overlapping" trick we probably get better cache behaviour anyway).

This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec. This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for following: - A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can kexec a hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system via ordinary kexec load then jump back. - Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make system snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot. - Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch between several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time. This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in. - A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux. The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump: - kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 - makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-src_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-patches_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile_cvs_kh10 - An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded from the following URL: initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image. Usage example of simple hibernation: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in following text. 3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called hibernating partition in following text. 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A). 5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000 --mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz 6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e 7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as follow: jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='` echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf Then you can shutdown the machine as normal. 8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as root file system. 9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf 10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -e Then, kernel A is resumed. Implementation point: To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing) the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to implement corresponding function. Known issues: - Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited, hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.
