On CHRP platforms with only a 8259 controller, we should set the default IRQ host to the 8259 driver's one for the IRQ probing fallbacks to work in case the IRQ tree is incorrect (like on Pegasos for example). Without this fix, we get a bunch of WARN_ON's during boot. Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order 32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up. The main issue was that the construct: .long label (or .llong on 64 bits) will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc, which is not something we can deal with in the vdso. The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like: 1: .long label - 1b That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest of the kernel as well. Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not support 32 bits code with a statement of the form: .llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label) That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are using a modified macro that generates: .long 0xffffffff .llong label - 1b Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the other way around).

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and separately for 32 and 64 bits. This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any problem.

Eliminate more __must_check madness. The return code from device_for_each_child() depends on the values which the helper function returns. If the helper function always returns zero, it's utterly pointless to check the return code from device_for_each_child(). The only code which knows if the return value should be checked is the caller itself, so forcing the return code to always be checked is silly. Hence, remove the __must_check annotation.

The current implementation uses a sequence of a cacheflush and a copy. This is racy in case of a multithreaded debuggee and renders GDB virtually unusable. Aside this fixes a performance hog rendering access to /proc/cmdline very slow and resulting in a enough cache stalls for the 34K AP/SP programming model to make the bare metal code on the non-Linux VPE miss RT deadlines. The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle; Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

Mistyped an ifdef CONFIG_CPUSETS - fixed. I doubt that anyone ever noticed. The impact of this typo was that if someone: 1) was using MPOL_BIND to force off node allocations 2) while using cpusets to constrain memory placement 3) when that cpuset was migrating that jobs memory 4) while the tasks in that job were actively forking then there was a rare chance that future allocations using that MPOL_BIND policy would be node local, not off node.

By default route the 8254 over the 8259 and only disable it on ATI boards where this causes double timer interrupts. This should unbreak some Nvidia boards where the timer doesn't seem to tick of it isn't enabled in the 8259. At least one VIA board also seemed to have a little trouble with the disabled 8259. For 2.6.20 we'll try both dynamically without black listing, but I think for .19 this is the safer approach because it has been already well tested in earlier kernels. This also makes the x86-64 behaviour the same as i386. Command line options can change all this of course. Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

This changes the dwarf2 unwinder to do a binary search for CIEs instead of a linear work. The linker is unfortunately not able to build a proper lookup table at link time, instead it creates one at runtime as soon as the bootmem allocator is usable (so you'll continue using the linear lookup for the first [hopefully] few calls). The code should be ready to utilize a build-time created table once a fixed linker becomes available. Signed-off-by: NJan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
