The Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) Processor x200 Family (codename: Knights Landing) has an erratum where a processor thread setting the Accessed or Dirty bits may not do so atomically against its checks for the Present bit. This may cause a thread (which is about to page fault) to set A and/or D, even though the Present bit had already been atomically cleared. These bits are truly "stray". In the case of the Dirty bit, the thread associated with the stray set was *not* allowed to write to the page. This means that we do not have to launder the bit(s); we can simply ignore them. If the PTE is used for storing a swap index or a NUMA migration index, the A bit could be misinterpreted as part of the swap type. The stray bits being set cause a software-cleared PTE to be interpreted as a swap entry. In some cases (like when the swap index ends up being for a non-existent swapfile), the kernel detects the stray value and WARN()s about it, but there is no guarantee that the kernel can always detect it. When we have 64-bit PTEs (64-bit mode or 32-bit PAE), we were able to move the swap PTE format around to avoid these troublesome bits. But, 32-bit non-PAE is tight on bits. So, disallow it from running on this hardware. I can't imagine anyone wanting to run 32-bit non-highmem kernels on this hardware, but disallowing them from running entirely is surely the safe thing to do.

Recent PAT patchset has caused issue on 32-bit PAE machines: page:eea45000 count:0 mapcount:-128 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x40000000() page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(page_mapcount(page) < 0) ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /home/build/linux-boris/mm/huge_memory.c:1485! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP [...] Call Trace: unmap_single_vma ? __wake_up unmap_vmas unmap_region do_munmap vm_munmap SyS_munmap do_fast_syscall_32 ? __do_page_fault sysenter_past_esp Code: ... EIP: [<c11bde80>] zap_huge_pmd+0x240/0x260 SS:ESP 0068:f6459d98 The problem is in pmd_pfn_mask() and pmd_flags_mask(). These helpers use PMD_PAGE_MASK to calculate resulting mask. PMD_PAGE_MASK is 'unsigned long', not 'unsigned long long' as phys_addr_t is on 32-bit PAE (ARCH_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT). As a result, the upper bits of resulting mask get truncated. pud_pfn_mask() and pud_flags_mask() aren't problematic since we don't have PUD page table level on 32-bit systems, but it's reasonable to keep them consistent with PMD counterpart. Introduce PHYSICAL_PMD_PAGE_MASK and PHYSICAL_PUD_PAGE_MASK in addition to existing PHYSICAL_PAGE_MASK and reworks helpers to use them.

Try to treat memcmp() in same way as memcpy() and memset(). Provide a declaration in boot/string.h and by default user gets a memcmp() which maps to builtin function. Move optimized definition of memcmp() in boot/string.c. Now a user can do #undef memcmp and link against string.c to use optimzied memcmp(). It also simplifies boot/compressed/string.c where we had to redefine memcmp(). That extra definition is gone now.

Create a separate arch/x86/boot/string.h file to provide declaration of some of the common string functions. By default memcpy, memset and memcmp functions will default to gcc builtin functions. If code wants to use an optimized version of any of these functions, they need to #undef the respective macro and link against a local file providing definition of undefed function. For example, arch/x86/boot/* code links against copy.S to get memcpy() and memcmp() definitions. arch/86/boot/compressed/* links against compressed/string.c. There are quite a few places in arch/x86/ where these functions are used. Idea is to try to consilidate their declaration and possibly definitions so that it can be reused. I am planning to reuse boot/string.h in arch/x86/purgatory/ and use gcc builtin functions for memcpy, memset and memcmp.

boot/compressed/misc.c is used for bzImage in 64bit and 32bit, and cmd_line_ptr could point to buffer that is above 4g, cmd_line_ptr should be 64bit otherwise high 32bit will be capped out. So need to change data type to unsigned long, that will be 64bit get correct address of command line buffer. And it is still ok with 32bit bzImage, because unsigned long on 32bit kernel is still 32bit.

Impact: remove unused/broken code The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27, v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels. No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage. Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken. In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the build problems already known, needs serious and significant changes and probably a rewrite to support it. CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it. While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme, voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable fashion. So remove this inactive code for now. Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

yesterday I tried to reactivate my old 486 box and wanted to install a current Linux with latest kernel on it. But it turned out that the latest kernel does not boot because the machine crashes early in the setup code. After some debugging it turned out that the problem is the query_ist() function. If this interrupt with that function is called the machine simply locks up. It looks like a BIOS bug. Looking for a workaround for this problem I wrote the attached patch. It checks for the CPUID instruction and if it is not implemented it does not call the speedstep BIOS function. As far as I know speedstep should be available since some Pentium earliest. Alan Cox observed that it's available since the Pentium II, so cpuid levels 4 and 5 can be excluded altogether. H. Peter Anvin cleaned up the code some more: > Right in concept, but I dislike the implementation (duplication of the > CPU detect code we already have). Could you try this patch and see if > it works for you? which, with a small modification to fix a build error with it the resulting kernel boots on my machine.

Fix incorrect assembly constraints. In particular, fix memory constraints used inside push..pop, which can cause invalid operation since gcc may generate %esp-relative references.
