      [ARM] 5241/1: provide ioremap_wc() · 1ad77a87
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      This patch provides an ARM implementation of ioremap_wc().
      
      We use different page table attributes depending on which CPU we
      are running on:
      
      - Non-XScale ARMv5 and earlier systems: The ARMv5 ARM documents four
        possible mapping types (CB=00/01/10/11).  We can't use any of the
        cached memory types (CB=10/11), since that breaks coherency with
        peripheral devices.  Both CB=00 and CB=01 are suitable for _wc, and
        CB=01 (Uncached/Buffered) allows the hardware more freedom than
        CB=00, so we'll use that.
      
        (The ARMv5 ARM seems to suggest that CB=01 is allowed to delay stores
        but isn't allowed to merge them, but there is no other mapping type
        we can use that allows the hardware to delay and merge stores, so
        we'll go with CB=01.)
      
      - XScale v1/v2 (ARMv5): same as the ARMv5 case above, with the slight
        difference that on these platforms, CB=01 actually _does_ allow
        merging stores.  (If you want noncoalescing bufferable behavior
        on Xscale v1/v2, you need to use XCB=101.)
      
      - Xscale v3 (ARMv5) and ARMv6+: on these systems, we use TEXCB=00100
        mappings (Inner/Outer Uncacheable in xsc3 parlance, Uncached Normal
        in ARMv6 parlance).
      
        The ARMv6 ARM explicitly says that any accesses to Normal memory can
        be merged, which makes Normal memory more suitable for _wc mappings
        than Device or Strongly Ordered memory, as the latter two mapping
        types are guaranteed to maintain transaction number, size and order.
        We use the Uncached variety of Normal mappings for the same reason
        that we can't use C=1 mappings on ARMv5.
      
        The xsc3 Architecture Specification documents TEXCB=00100 as being
        Uncacheable and allowing coalescing of writes, which is also just
        what we need.

      [x86] Fix TSC calibration issues · fbb16e24
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
      An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
      I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f594
      "x86: merge tsc calibration".
      
      The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
      prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.
      
      Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
      PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
      miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
      CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
      based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
      explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.
      
      On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
      calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
      disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
      with SMI detection shows better results.
      
      According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
      calibration method.
      
      The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
      either/or decision.
      
      1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
      during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
      frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
      frequency
      
      2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
      for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
      significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
      indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.
      
      3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
      where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
      based calibration
      
      4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
      decide after all iterations finished.
      
      5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
      makes sense.
      
      The implementation does the reference calibration based on
      HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
      but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
      resulting calibration values.
      
      Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
      (affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
      the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

      Un-break printk strings in x86 PCI probing code · 011fec74
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is
      often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that
      is printed out into multiple lines.  This really ended up making it much
      harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a
      simple 'grep' didn't work.
      
      I'm sure there is tons more of this particular idiocy hiding in other
      places, but this particular case hit me once more last week. So fix it.
