Move wakeup code to .c, so that video mode setting code can be shared between boot and wakeup. Remove nasty assembly code in 64-bit case by re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits of %esp, maybe that fixes some machines. .c code sharing and morse code was done H. Peter Anvin, Sam Ravnborg reviewed kbuild related stuff, and it seems okay to him. Rafael did some cleanups. [rjw: * Made the patch stop breaking compilation on x86-32 * Added arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.h * Got rid of compiler warnings in arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep.c * Fixed 32-bit compilation on x86-64 systems * Added include/asm-x86/trampoline.h and fixed the non-SMP compilation on 64-bit x86 * Removed arch/x86/kernel/acpi/sleep_32.c which was not used * Fixed some breakage caused by the integration of smpboot.c done under us in the meantime] Signed-off-by: NPavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: NH.

On AMD SMM protected memory is part of the address map, but handled internally like an MTRR. That leads to large pages getting split internally which has some performance implications. Check for the AMD TSEG MSR and split the large page mapping on that area explicitely if it is part of the direct mapping. There is also SMM ASEG, but it is in the first 1MB and already covered by the earlier split first page patch. Idea for this came from an earlier patch by Andreas Herrmann On a RevF dual Socket Opteron system kernbench shows a clear improvement from this: (together with the earlier patches in this series, especially the split first 2MB patch) [lower is better] no split stddev split stddev delta Elapsed Time 87.146 (0.727516) 84.296 (1.09098) -3.2% User Time 274.537 (4.05226) 273.692 (3.34344) -0.3% System Time 34.907 (0.42492) 34.508 (0.26832) -1.1% Percent CPU 322.5 (38.3007) 326.5 (44.5128) +1.2% => About 3.2% improvement in elapsed time for kernbench. With GB pages on AMD Fam1h the impact of splitting is much higher of course, since it would split two full GB pages (together with the first 1MB split patch) instead of two 2MB pages. I could not benchmark a clear difference in kernbench on gbpages, so I kept it disabled for that case That was only limited benchmarking of course, so if someone was interested in running more tests for the gbpages case that could be revisited (contributions welcome) I didn't bother implementing this for 32bit because it is very unlikely the 32bit lowmem mapping overlaps into the TSEG near 4GB and the 2MB low split is already handled for both.

Revert commit f62f1fc9 Author: Yinghai Lu <yhlu.kernel@gmail.com> Date: Fri Mar 7 15:02:50 2008 -0800 x86: reserve dma32 early for gart The patch has a dependency on bootmem modifications which are not .25 material that late in the -rc cycle. The problem which is addressed by the patch is limited to machines with 256G and more memory booted with NUMA disabled. This is not a .25 regression and the audience which is affected by this problem is very limited, so it's safer to do the revert than pulling in intrusive bootmem changes right now.

I'm currently adding those printouts back > in the hope of seeing where and when the caps get broken. That turned out to be very illuminating: --- dmesg-2.6.24-git7 2008-02-24 18:01:25.295851000 +0100 +++ dmesg-2.6.24-git8 2008-02-24 18:01:25.530358000 +0100 ...

(The first two lines are printout loops from -git7 forward-ported to -git8, the third line is the same printout loop added just after the xor-with-cleared_cpu_caps[] loop.) Here's how the breakage occurs: 1. arch/x86/kernel/tsc_32.c:tsc_init() sees !cpu_has_tsc, so bails and calls setup_clear_cpu_cap(X86_FEATURE_TSC). 2. include/asm-x86/cpufeature.h:setup_clear_cpu_cap(bit) clears the bit in boot_cpu_data and sets it in cleared_cpu_caps 3. arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:identify_cpu() XORs all caps in with cleared_cpu_caps HOWEVER, at this point c->x86_capability correctly has TSC Off, cleared_cpu_caps has TSC On, so the XOR incorrectly sets TSC to On in c->x86_capability, with disastrous results. The real bug is that clearing bits with XOR only works if the bits are known to be 1 prior to the XOR, and that's not true here. A simple fix is to convert the XOR to AND-NOT instead. The following patch does that, and allows my 486 to boot 2.6.25-rc kernels again. [ mingo@elte.hu: fixed a similar bug in setup_64.c as well. ] The breakage was introduced via commit 7d851c8d.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch() to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early. If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that, all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled in standard, non-debug kernels. With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers, if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter. In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire. An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger, without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA access is granted. A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt and I've put a copy online at ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it another copy of it is online at: ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/kernel/ohci1394_dma_early-v2.diffSigned-Off-By: NBernhard Kaindl <bk@suse.de> Tested-By: NThomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

This patch fixes some bugs of EFI memory handing code. - On x86_64, it is possible that EFI memory map can not be mapped via identity map, so efi_map_memmap is removed, just use early_ioremap. - On i386, the EFI memory map mapping take effect cross paging_init, so it is not necessary to use efi_map_memmap. - EFI memory map is unmapped in efi_enter_virtual_mode to avoid early_ioremap leak.

Change static bios_cpu_apicid array to a per_cpu data variable. This includes using a static array used during initialization similar to the way x86_cpu_to_apicid[] is handled. There is one early use of bios_cpu_apicid in apic_is_clustered_box(). The other reference in cpu_present_to_apicid() is called after smp_set_apicids() has setup the percpu version of bios_cpu_apicid.
