      [PATCH] x86_64: Add pmtimer support · 312df5f1
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which
      don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge.  This covers in particular
      Nvidia and VIA chipsets.  They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are
      synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are
      nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs.
      
      The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we
      could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems.  But this doesn't work
      there.
      
      Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source.  This
      patch does that.  The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice
      because it has some disadvantages.
      
      Ported over from i386.  It should be faster than the i386 version because I
      dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower
      than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be
      disabled.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Switch SMP bootup over to new CPU hotplug state machine · a8ab26fe
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
      crufty code.  It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
      introduces.  Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
      needed anymore.
      
      I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code.  The brag value of
      BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.
      
      Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
      there now.
      
      One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before.  The
      old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later.  Instead the TSC of the
      BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.
      
      akpm:
      
      - sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.
      
      - SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

      [PATCH] x86_64: Use a VMA for the 32bit vsyscall · 1e014410
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      Use a real VMA to map the 32bit vsyscall page
      
      This interacts better with Hugh's upcomming VMA walk optimization
      Also removes some ugly special cases.
      
      Code roughly modelled after the ppc64 vdso version from Ben Herrenschmidt.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
