      jiffies: Remove compile time assumptions about CLOCK_TICK_RATE · b3c869d3
      由 John Stultz 提交于 
      CLOCK_TICK_RATE is used to accurately caclulate exactly how
a tick will be at a given HZ.

This is useful, because while we'd expect NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ,
the underlying hardware will have some granularity limit,
so we won't be able to have exactly HZ ticks per second.

This slight error can cause timekeeping quality problems
when using the jiffies or other jiffies driven clocksources.
Thus we currently use compile time CLOCK_TICK_RATE value to
generate SHIFTED_HZ and NSEC_PER_JIFFIES, which we then use
to adjust the jiffies clocksource to correct this error.

Unfortunately though, since CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a compile
time value, and the jiffies clocksource is registered very
early during boot, there are a number of cases where there
are different possible hardware timers that have different
tick rates. This causes problems in cases like ARM where
there are numerous different types of hardware, each having
their own compile-time CLOCK_TICK_RATE, making it hard to
accurately support different hardware with a single kernel.

For the most part, this doesn't matter all that much, as not
too many systems actually utilize the jiffies or jiffies driven
clocksource. Usually there are other highres clocksources
who's granularity error is negligable.

Even so, we have some complicated calcualtions that we do
everywhere to handle these edge cases.

This patch removes the compile time SHIFTED_HZ value, and
introduces a register_refined_jiffies() function. This results
in the default jiffies clock as being assumed a perfect HZ
freq, and allows archtectures that care about jiffies accuracy
to call register_refined_jiffies() with the tick rate, specified
dynamically at boot.

This allows us, where necessary, to not have a compile time
CLOCK_TICK_RATE constant, simplifies the jiffies code, and
still provides a way to have an accurate jiffies clock.

NOTE: Since this patch does not add register_refinied_jiffies()
calls for every arch, it may cause time quality regressions
in some cases. Its likely these will not be noticable, but
if they are an issue, adding the following to the end of
setup_arch() should resolve the regression:
	register_refinied_jiffies(CLOCK_TICK_RATE)

      MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support. · bb8187d3
      由 Paul Gortmaker 提交于 
      Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.

One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

      x86, efi: Allow basic init with mixed 32/64-bit efi/kernel · 1adbfa35
      由 Olof Johansson 提交于 
      Traditionally the kernel has refused to setup EFI at all if there's been
a mismatch in 32/64-bit mode between EFI and the kernel.

On some platforms that boot natively through EFI (Chrome OS being one),
we still need to get at least some of the static data such as memory
configuration out of EFI. Runtime services aren't as critical, and
it's a significant amount of work to implement switching between the
operating modes to call between kernel and firmware for thise cases. So
I'm ignoring it for now.

v5:
* Fixed some printk strings based on feedback
* Renamed 32/64-bit specific types to not have _ prefix
* Fixed bug in printout of efi runtime disablement

v4:
* Some of the earlier cleanup was accidentally reverted by this patch, fixed.
* Reworded some messages to not have to line wrap printk strings

v3:
* Reorganized to a series of patches to make it easier to review, and
  do some of the cleanups I had left out before.

v2:
* Added graceful error handling for 32-bit kernel that gets passed
  EFI data above 4GB.
* Removed some warnings that were missed in first version.

      x86, efi: Calling __pa() with an ioremap()ed address is invalid · e8c71062
      由 Matt Fleming 提交于 
      If we encounter an efi_memory_desc_t without EFI_MEMORY_WB set
in ->attribute we currently call set_memory_uc(), which in turn
calls __pa() on a potentially ioremap'd address.

On CONFIG_X86_32 this is invalid, resulting in the following
oops on some machines:

  BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at f7f22280
  IP: [<c10257b9>] reserve_ram_pages_type+0x89/0x210
  [...]

  Call Trace:
   [<c104f8ca>] ? page_is_ram+0x1a/0x40
   [<c1025aff>] reserve_memtype+0xdf/0x2f0
   [<c1024dc9>] set_memory_uc+0x49/0xa0

   [<c19211c7>] ? loglevel+0x1b/0x1b
   [<c19210bf>] i386_start_kernel+0xbf/0xc8

A better approach to this problem is to map the memory region
with the correct attributes from the start, instead of modifying
it after the fact. The uncached case can be handled by
ioremap_nocache() and the cached by ioremap_cache().

Despite first impressions, it's not possible to use
ioremap_cache() to map all cached memory regions on
CONFIG_X86_64 because EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA regions really
don't like being mapped into the vmalloc space, as detailed in
the following bug report,

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748516

Therefore, we need to ensure that any EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_DATA
regions are covered by the direct kernel mapping table on
CONFIG_X86_64. To accomplish this we now map E820_RESERVED_EFI
regions via the direct kernel mapping with the initial call to
init_memory_mapping() in setup_arch(), whereas previously these
regions wouldn't be mapped if they were after the last E820_RAM
region until efi_ioremap() was called. Doing it this way allows
us to delete efi_ioremap() completely.

      x86, efi: Retain boot service code until after switching to virtual mode · 916f676f
      由 Matthew Garrett 提交于 
      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.

[ hpa: adding this to urgent with a stable tag since it fixes currently-broken
  hardware.  However, I do not know what the dependencies are and so I do
  not know which -stable versions this may be a candidate for. ]

      printk: allocate kernel log buffer earlier · 162a7e75
      由 Mike Travis 提交于 
      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.
