UEFI stands for "Unified Extensible Firmware Interface", where "Firmware" is an ancient African word meaning "Why do something right when you can do it so wrong that children will weep and brave adults will cower before you", and "UEI" is Celtic for "We missed DOS so we burned it into your ROMs". The UEFI specification provides for runtime services (ie, another way for the operating system to be forced to depend on the firmware) and we rely on these for certain trivial tasks such as setting up the bootloader. But some hardware fails to work if we attempt to use these runtime services from physical mode, and so we have to switch into virtual mode. So far so dreadful. The specification makes it clear that the operating system is free to do whatever it wants with boot services code after ExitBootServices() has been called. SetVirtualAddressMap() can't be called until ExitBootServices() has been. So, obviously, a whole bunch of EFI implementations call into boot services code when we do that. Since we've been charmingly naive and trusted that the specification may be somehow relevant to the real world, we've already stuffed a picture of a penguin or something in that address space. And just to make things more entertaining, we've also marked it non-executable. This patch allocates the boot services regions during EFI init and makes sure that they're executable. Then, after SetVirtualAddressMap(), it discards them and everyone lives happily ever after. Except for the ones who have to work on EFI, who live sad lives haunted by the knowledge that someone's eventually going to write yet another firmware specification.

On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages, the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the log_buf_len param is allocated. Minimize the overflow by allocating the new log buffer as soon as possible. On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from kernel/init.c is the fallback.

This workaround holds a dma32 buffer at early boot to prevent later bootmem allocations from stealing it in the case of large RAM configs. Now that x86 is using memblock, and the nobootmem wrapper does top-down allocation, it's no longer necessary, so remove it.

Restore the initialization of mmu_cr4_features during boot, which was removed without comment in checkin e5f15b45 x86: Cleanup highmap after brk is concluded thereby breaking resume from hibernate. This restores previous functionality in approximately the same place, and corrects the reading of %cr4 on pre-CPUID hardware (%cr4 exists if and only if CPUID is supported.) However, part of the problem is that the hibernate suspend/resume sequence should manage the save/restore of %cr4 explicitly. Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rafael J.

crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param(). This changes powerpc from __setup() to early_param(). It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64 and powerpc.

Now cleanup_highmap actually is in two steps: one is early in head64.c and only clears above _end; a second one is in init_memory_mapping() and tries to clean from _brk_end to _end. It should check if those boundaries are PMD_SIZE aligned but currently does not. Also init_memory_mapping() is called several times for numa or memory hotplug, so we really should not handle initial kernel mappings there. This patch moves cleanup_highmap() down after _brk_end is settled so we can do everything in one step. Also we honor max_pfn_mapped in the implementation of cleanup_highmap.

This patch reverts NUMA affine page table allocation added by commit 1411e0ec (x86-64, numa: Put pgtable to local node memory). The commit made an undocumented change where the kernel linear mapping strictly follows intersection of e820 memory map and NUMA configuration. If the physical memory configuration has holes or NUMA nodes are not properly aligned, this leads to using unnecessarily smaller mapping size which leads to increased TLB pressure. For details, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1104672 Patches to fix the problem have been proposed but the underlying code needs more cleanup and the approach itself seems a bit heavy handed and it has been determined to revert the feature for now and come back to it in the next developement cycle. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1105959 As init_memory_mapping_high() callsites have been consolidated since the commit, reverting is done manually. Also, the RED-PEN comment in arch/x86/mm/init.c is not restored as the problem no longer exists with memblock based top-down early memory allocation.

Up to now we force enable the local apic in the devicetree setup uncoditionally and set smp_found_config unconditionally to 1 when a devicetree blob is available. This breaks, when local apic is disabled in the Kconfig. Make it consistent by initializing device tree explicitely before smp_get_config() so a non lapic configuration could be used as well. To be functional that would require to implement PIT as an interrupt host, but the only user of this code until now is ce4100 which requires apics to be available. So we leave this up to those who need it. Tested-by: NSebastian Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

This patch adds minimal support for device tree on x86. The device tree blob is passed to the kernel via setup_data which requires at least boot protocol 2.09. Memory size, restricted memory regions, boot arguments are gathered the traditional way so things like cmd_line are just here to let the code compile. The current plan is use the device tree as an extension and to gather information which can not be enumerated and would have to be hardcoded otherwise. This includes things like - which devices are on this I2C/SPI bus? - how are the interrupts wired to IO APIC? - where could my hpet be?

This patch ensures that the memory passed from parse_setup_data() is large enough to cover the complete data structure. That means that the conditional mapping in parse_e820_ext() can go.

Common infrastructure for low memory trampolines. This code installs the trampolines permanently in low memory very early. It also permits multiple pieces of code to be used for this purpose. This code also introduces a standard infrastructure for computing symbol addresses in the trampoline code. The only change to the actual SMP trampolines themselves is that the 64-bit trampoline has been made reusable -- the previous version would overwrite the code with a status variable; this moves the status variable to a separate location.

Because of the way ACPI tables are parsed, the generic acpi_numa_init() couldn't return failure when error was detected by arch hooks. Instead, the failure state was recorded and later arch dependent init hook - acpi_scan_nodes() - would fail. Wrap acpi_numa_init() with x86_acpi_numa_init() so that failure can be indicated as return value immediately. This is in preparation for further NUMA init cleanups.

Now that everything else is unified, NUMA initialization can be unified too. * numa_init_array() and init_cpu_to_node() are moved from numa_64 to numa. * numa_32::initmem_init() is updated to call numa_init_array() and setup_arch() to call init_cpu_to_node() on 32bit too. * x86_cpu_to_node_map is now initialized to NUMA_NO_NODE on 32bit too. This is safe now as numa_init_array() will initialize it early during boot. This makes NUMA mapping fully initialized before setup_per_cpu_areas() on 32bit too and thus makes the first percpu chunk which contains all the static variables and some of dynamic area allocated with NUMA affinity correctly considered.

Keep the crash kernel address below 512 MiB for 32 bits and 896 MiB for 64 bits. For 32 bits, this retains compatibility with earlier kernel releases, and makes it work even if the vmalloc= setting is adjusted. For 64 bits, we should be able to increase this substantially once a hard-coded limit in kexec-tools is fixed. Signed-off-by: NH.

Request that allocate_resource() use available space from high addresses first, rather than the default of using low addresses first. The most common place this makes a difference is when we move or assign new PCI device resources. Low addresses are generally scarce, so it's better to use high addresses when possible. This follows Windows practice for PCI allocation.

The iomem_resource map reflects the available physical address space. We statically initialize the end to -1, i.e., 0xffffffff_ffffffff, but of course we can only use as much as the CPU can address. This patch updates the end based on the CPU capabilities, so we don't mistakenly allocate space that isn't usable, as we're likely to do when allocating from the top-down.

This patch adds an initial page table with low mappings used exclusively for booting APs/resuming after ACPI suspend/machine restart. After this, there's no need to add low mappings to swapper_pg_dir and zap them later or create own swsusp PGD page solely for ACPI sleep needs - we have initial_page_table for that.

head_64.S maps up to 512 MiB, but that is not necessarity true for other entry paths, such as Xen. Thus, co-locate the setting of max_pfn_mapped with the code to actually set up the page tables in head_64.S. The 32-bit code is already so co-located. (The Xen code already sets max_pfn_mapped correctly for its own use case.) -v2: Yinghai fixed the following bug in this patch: | | max_pfn_mapped is in .bss section, so we need to set that | after bss get cleared. Without that we crash on bootup. | | That is safe because Xen does not call x86_64_start_kernel(). | Signed-off-by: NJeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Fixed-by: NYinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NH.

Cai Qian found crashkernel is broken with the x86 memblock changes. 1. crashkernel=128M@32M always reported that range is used, even if the first kernel is small and does not usethat range 2. we always got following report when using "kexec -p" Could not find a free area of memory of a000 bytes... locate_hole failed The root cause is that generic memblock_find_in_range() will try to allocate from the top of the range, whereas the kexec code was written assuming that allocation was always near the bottom and that it could blindly extend memory upward. Unfortunately the kexec code doesn't have a system for requesting the range that it really needs, so this is subject to probabilistic failures. This patch hacks around the problem by limiting the target range heuristically to below the traditional bzImage max range. This number is arbitrary and not always correct, and a much better result would be obtained by having kexec communicate this number based on the kernel header information and any appropriate command line options.

With the recent innovations in CPU hardware acceleration technologies from Intel and AMD, VMware ran a few experiments to compare these techniques to guest paravirtualization technique on VMware's platform. These hardware assisted virtualization techniques have outperformed the performance benefits provided by VMI in most of the workloads. VMware expects that these hardware features will be ubiquitous in a couple of years, as a result, VMware has started a phased retirement of this feature from the hypervisor. Please note that VMI has always been an optimization and non-VMI kernels still work fine on VMware's platform. Latest versions of VMware's product which support VMI are, Workstation 7.0 and VSphere 4.0 on ESX side, future maintainence releases for these products will continue supporting VMI. For more details about VMI retirement take a look at this, http://blogs.vmware.com/guestosguide/2009/09/vmi-retirement.html This feature removal was scheduled for 2.6.37 back in September 2009.
