32-bit support for NUMA is an oddity on its own but with automatic NUMA balancing on top there is a reasonable risk that the CPUPID information cannot be stored in the page flags.

Currently hugepage migration is available for all archs which support pmd-level hugepage, but testing is done only for x86_64 and there're bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other archs get interested in enabling this feature. Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage migration is supported in vma_migratable().

The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain compatibility with a small range of glibc versions. This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default.

Add the Kconfig option and bump the kernel header version so that boot loaders can check whether the handover code is available if they want. The xloadflags field in the bzImage header is also updated to reflect that the kernel supports both entry points by setting both of XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_32 and XLF_EFI_HANDOVER_64 when CONFIG_EFI_MIXED=y. XLF_CAN_BE_LOADED_ABOVE_4G is disabled so that the kernel text is guaranteed to be addressable with 32-bits. Note that no boot loaders should be using the bits set in xloadflags to decide which entry point to jump to. The entire scheme is based on the concept that 32-bit bootloaders always jump to ->handover_offset and 64-bit loaders always jump to ->handover_offset + 512. We set both bits merely to inform the boot loader that it's safe to use the native handover offset even if the machine type in the PE/COFF header claims otherwise.

Current Intel SOC cores use a MailBox Interface (MBI) to provide access to configuration registers on devices (called units) connected to the system fabric. This is a support driver that implements access to this interface on those platforms that can enumerate the device using PCI. Initial support is for BayTrail, for which port definitons are provided. This is a requirement for implementing platform specific features (e.g. RAPL driver requires this to perform platform specific power management using the registers in PUNIT). Dependant modules should select IOSF_MBI in their respective Kconfig configuraiton. Serialized access is handled by all exported routines with spinlocks. The API includes 3 functions for access to unit registers: int iosf_mbi_read(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 *mdr) int iosf_mbi_write(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 mdr) int iosf_mbi_modify(u8 port, u8 opcode, u32 offset, u32 mdr, u32 mask) port: indicating the unit being accessed opcode: the read or write port specific opcode offset: the register offset within the port mdr: the register data to be read, written, or modified mask: bit locations in mdr to change Returns nonzero on error Note: GPU code handles access to the GFX unit. Therefore access to that unit with this driver is disallowed to avoid conflicts. Signed-off-by: NDavid E.

Depending on availability, mix the RDRAND and RDTSC entropy together with XOR. Only when neither is available should the i8254 be used. Update the Kconfig documentation to reflect this. Additionally, since bits used for entropy is masked elsewhere, drop the needless masking in the get_random_long(). Similarly, use the entire TSC, not just the low 32 bits. Finally, to improve the starting entropy, do a simple hashing of a build-time versions string and the boot-time boot_params structure for some additional level of unpredictability.

The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512 CPUs, or a full 4096 in the case of MAXSMP. There are machines that have 1024 CPUs in them today and configuring a kernel for that means you are forced to set MAXSMP. This adds additional unnecessary overhead. While that overhead might be considered tiny for large machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a kernel that runs across a wide variety of machines. To cover the range of more common machines today, we allow NR_CPUS to be up to 4096 when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.

On 64-bit, this raises the maximum location to -1 GiB (from -1.5 GiB), the upper limit currently, since the kernel fixmap page mappings need to be moved to use the other 1 GiB (which would be the theoretical limit when building with -mcmodel=kernel).

This allows decompress_kernel to return a new location for the kernel to be relocated to. Additionally, enforces CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as the minimum relocation position when building with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. With CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE set, the choose_kernel_location routine will select a new location to decompress the kernel, though here it is presently a no-op. The kernel command line option "nokaslr" is introduced to bypass these routines.

The AMD_GART driver was made EXPERT/EMBEDDED a long time ago to avoid unbootable 64bit systems with 32bit only devices. This was before swiotlb was there, which does the job of this fallback today. SWIOTLB is always on, so systems should always boot. The drawback is that every system has to compile that driver in (it cannot be a module). Also: - Newer AMD CPUs (the APUs) don't seem to have AMD_GART support at all anymore. - Newer AMD platforms have a much better real IOMMU - The AMD GART driver was never very good (lots of overhead, e.g. in flushing due to some workarounds) and it's doubtful it's really better than SWIOTLB. - On older K8 systems it didn't even work with all chipsets. - The 32bit device bounce buffer case should be rare/ non performance critical these days anyways. - On non AMD systems it is not needed at all. So drop the EXPERT dependency on AMD_GART and remove the default y. The driver can be still compiled in, just it's an explicit decision now, and people who don't want it can unselect it. I also clarified the description a bit. This allows to save ~8K text on most modern x86-64 systems.

Commit ebd97be6 ('PCI: remove ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI kconfig option') removed the ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI option which architectures could select to indicate that they support MSI. Now, all architectures are supposed to build fine when MSI support is enabled: instead of having the architecture tell *when* MSI support can be used, it's up to the architecture code to ensure that MSI support can be enabled. On x86, commit ebd97be6 removed the following line: select ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI if (X86_LOCAL_APIC && X86_IO_APIC) Which meant that MSI support was only available when the local APIC and I/O APIC were enabled. While this is always true on SMP or x86-64, it is not necessarily the case on i386 !SMP. The below patch makes sure that the local APIC and I/O APIC support is always enabled when MSI support is enabled. To do so, it: * Ensures the X86_UP_APIC option is not visible when PCI_MSI is enabled. This is the option that allows, on UP machines, to enable or not the APIC support. It is already not visible on SMP systems, or x86-64 systems, for example. We're simply also making it invisible on i386 MSI systems. * Ensures that the X86_LOCAL_APIC and X86_IO_APIC options are 'y' when PCI_MSI is enabled. Notice that this change requires a change in drivers/iommu/Kconfig to avoid a recursive Kconfig dependencey. The AMD_IOMMU option selects PCI_MSI, but was depending on X86_IO_APIC. This dependency is no longer needed: as soon as PCI_MSI is selected, the presence of X86_IO_APIC is guaranteed. Moreover, the AMD_IOMMU already depended on X86_64, which already guaranteed that X86_IO_APIC was enabled, so this dependency was anyway redundant.
