So there is no need for the apic op cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() to check again and return BAD_APICID. Remove the BAD_APICID return value from cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() and also fix set_desc_affinity() to return -1 instead of using BAD_APICID to represent error conditions (as cpu_mask_to_apicid_and() can return logical or physical apicid values and BAD_APICID is really to represent bad physical apic id).

Commit 83ce4009 did the following change If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable. But, there seems to be few systems that will end up with TSC warp across sockets, depending on how the cpus come out of reset. Skipping TSC sync test on such systems may result in time inconsistency later. So, reenable TSC sync test even on constant and non-stop TSC systems. Set, sched_clock_stable to 1 by default and reset it in mark_tsc_unstable, if TSC sync fails. This change still gives perf benefit mentioned in 83ce4009 for systems where TSC is reliable.

The loop condition is fragile: we compare an unsigned value to zero, and then decrement it by something larger than one in the loop.

perf events, x86/stacktrace: Fix performance/softlockup by providing a special frame pointer-only stack walker It's just wasteful for stacktrace users like perf to walk through every entries on the stack whereas these only accept reliable ones, ie: that the frame pointer validates. Since perf requires pure reliable stacktraces, it needs a stack walker based on frame pointers-only to optimize the stacktrace processing. This might solve some near-lockup scenarios that can be triggered by call-graph tracing timer events.

The current print_context_stack helper that does the stack walking job is good for usual stacktraces as it walks through all the stack and reports even addresses that look unreliable, which is nice when we don't have frame pointers for example. But we have users like perf that only require reliable stacktraces, and those may want a more adapted stack walker, so lets make this function a callback in stacktrace_ops that users can tune for their needs.

The UV BIOS has moved the location of some of their pointers to the "partition reserved page" from memory into a uv hub MMR. The GRU does not support bcopy operations from MMR space so we need to special case the MMR addresses using VLOAD operations.

The commit f4780ca0 moves swiotlb initialization before dma32_free_bootmem(). It's supposed to fix a bug that the commit 75f1cdf1 introduced, we initialize SWIOTLB right after dma32_free_bootmem so we wrongly steal memory area allocated for GART with broken BIOS earlier. However, the above commit introduced another problem, which likely breaks machines with huge amount of memory. Such a box use the majority of DMA32_ZONE so there is no memory for swiotlb. With this patch, the x86 IOMMU initialization sequence are: 1. We set swiotlb to 1 in the case of (max_pfn > MAX_DMA32_PFN && !no_iommu). If swiotlb usage is forced by the boot option, we go to the step 3 and finish (we don't try to detect IOMMUs). 2. We call the detection functions of all the IOMMUs. The detection function sets x86_init.iommu.iommu_init to the IOMMU initialization function (so we can avoid calling the initialization functions of all the IOMMUs needlessly). 3. We initialize swiotlb (and set dma_ops to swiotlb_dma_ops) if swiotlb is set to 1. 4. If the IOMMU initialization function doesn't need swiotlb (e.g. the initialization is sucessful) then sets swiotlb to zero. 5. If we find that swiotlb is set to zero, we free swiotlb resource.

This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script, which currently applies to _end. Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections completely. This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns. This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this is basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have thus been well tested.

When there are a large number of processors in a system, there is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console. It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take about 84 minutes to clear the serial port. This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages which contain no additional information. Much of this information is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs. Some of the messages are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to a problem.

On an SMP system the kgdb_single_step flag has the possibility to indefinitely hang the system in the case. Consider the case where, CPU 1 has the schedule lock and CPU 0 is set to single step, there is no way for CPU 0 to run another task. The easy way to observe the problem is to make 2 cpus busy, and run the kgdb test suite. You will see that it hangs the system very quickly. while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find /proc > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts The side effect of this patch is that there is the possibility to miss a breakpoint in the case that a single step operation was executed to step over a breakpoint in common code. The trade off of the missed breakpoint is preferred to hanging the kernel. This can be fixed in the future by using kprobes or another strategy to step over planted breakpoints with out of line execution.

It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable, without reserving it. So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added and removed. The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a CPU that has had siblings previously removed. This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache maps when a cpu is added.
