ICH3 and ICH4 have undocumented HPET capabilities. This patch enables HPET for platforms based around these ICHs. Tested on various ICH3 and ICH4 platforms. Because HPET is not officially documented for ICH3/4 and may not have been validated by chipset folks, we're on thin ice here. I'd recommend testing this patch in -hrt or -mm for a while and wait for success/failure reports before feeding it upstream. tglx: depends on the force_hpet command line option !

Appended patch fixes an oops while changing the vsyscall sysctl. I am sure no one tested this code before integrating into mainline :( BTW, using ioremap() in vsyscall_sysctl_change() to get the virtual address of a kernel symbol sounds like an over kill.. I wonder if we can define a simple __va_vsymbol() which will return directly the kernel direct mapping. comments in the code which says gcc has trouble with __va(__pa()) sounds bogus to me. __pa() on a vsyscall address will not work anyhow :( And also, the whole nop out syscall in vsyscall page infrastructure (vsyscall_sysctl_change()) is added to make some attacks difficult, and yet I don't see this nop out being done by default. This area requires more cleanups? Fix an oops with __pa_vsymbol(). VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE is a fixmap index. We want the starting virtual address of the vsyscall page and not the index.

While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification, Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in global_flush_tlb(): down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in parallel can corrupt the list. This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree: commit ea7322de Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100 [PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); - dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL); + list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not. So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug. why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture. the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.

Use temporary page tables for the kernel text mapping during hibernation restore on x86_64. Without the patch, the original boot kernel's page tables that represent the kernel text mapping are used while the core of the image kernel is being restored. However, in principle, if the boot kernel is not identical to the image kernel, the location of these page tables in the image kernel need not be the same, so we should create a safe copy of the kernel text mapping prior to restoring the core of the image kernel.

由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于
Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a kernel different from the one in the image. The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to place each of them in a different page. The first part belongs to the boot kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory restoration procedure. Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages. The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored. This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from before the hibernation. The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address. However, this address may be passed to it in the image header. Namely, the part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image kernel. These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure is concerned). It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as compatible. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

I can't see the reason ". = VDSO_PRELINK + 0x900;" was ever there in the linker script for the x86_64 vDSO. I can't find anything that depends on this magic offset, or that should care at all about the particular location of of the .data section (all from vvar.c) in the vDSO image. If it is really desireable to place .data at 0x900, then it should be after all the other sections so they fill in the space up to 0x900. This removes the 0x900 magic and cleans up the output sections generally in the vDSO linker script. This saves a few hundred bytes in the size of the vDSO file, bringing it back well under 4kb total so that its vma only needs one page.

Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts. /proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting. This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64 platforms, as appropriate: rescheduling interrupts TLB flush interrupts function call interrupts thermal event interrupts threshold interrupts spurious interrupts A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail. Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated when the temperature drops back to a normal level. A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff. Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring. AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.
