ACPI defines a hardware signature. BIOS calculates the signature according to hardware configure and if hardware changes while hibernated, the signature will change. In that case, S4 resume should fail. Still, there may be systems on which this mechanism does not work correctly, so it is better to provide a workaround for them. For this reason, add a new switch to the acpi_sleep= command line argument allowing one to disable hardware signature checking.

Boot-time test for system suspend states (STR or standby). The generic RTC framework triggers wakeup alarms, which are used to exit those states. - Measures some aspects of suspend time ... this uses "jiffies" until someone converts it to use a timebase that works properly even while timer IRQs are disabled. - Triggered by a command line parameter. By default nothing even vaguely troublesome will happen, but "test_suspend=mem" will give you a brief STR test during system boot. (Or you may need to use "test_suspend=standby" instead, if your hardware needs that.) This isn't without problems. It fires early enough during boot that for example both PCMCIA and MMC stacks have misbehaved. The workaround in those cases was to boot without such media cards inserted.

Instead of using the variable mmu_huge_psize to keep track of the huge page size we use an array of MMU_PAGE_* values. For each supported huge page size we need to know the hugepte_shift value and have a pgtable_cache. The hstate or an mmu_huge_psizes index is passed to functions so that they know which huge page size they should use. The hugepage sizes 16M and 64K are setup(if available on the hardware) so that they don't have to be set on the boot cmd line in order to use them. The number of 16G pages have to be specified at boot-time though (e.g. hugepagesz=16G hugepages=5).

Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

Initially netfilter has had 64bit counters for conntrack-based accounting, but it was changed in 2.6.14 to save memory. Unfortunately in-kernel 64bit counters are still required, for example for "connbytes" extension. However, 64bit counters waste a lot of memory and it was not possible to enable/disable it runtime. This patch: - reimplements accounting with respect to the extension infrastructure, - makes one global version of seq_print_acct() instead of two seq_print_counters(), - makes it possible to enable it at boot time (for CONFIG_SYSCTL/CONFIG_SYSFS=n), - makes it possible to enable/disable it at runtime by sysctl or sysfs, - extends counters from 32bit to 64bit, - renames ip_conntrack_counter -> nf_conn_counter, - enables accounting code unconditionally (no longer depends on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT), - set initial accounting enable state based on CONFIG_NF_CT_ACCT - removes buggy IPCT_COUNTER_FILLING event handling. If accounting is enabled newly created connections get additional acct extend. Old connections are not changed as it is not possible to add a ct_extend area to confirmed conntrack. Accounting is performed for all connections with acct extend regardless of a current state of "net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_acct".

"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914Signed-off-by: NZhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLi Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NAndi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>

Applies on top of the previous patch: x86 boot: add code to add BIOS provided EFI memory entries to kernel Instead of always adding EFI memory map entries (if present) to the memory map after initially finding either E820 BIOS memory map entries and/or kernel command line memmap entries, -instead- only add such additional EFI memory map entries if the kernel boot option: add_efi_memmap is specified. Requiring this 'add_efi_memmap' option is backward compatible with kernels that didn't load such additional EFI memory map entries in the first place, and it doesn't override a configuration that tries to replace all E820 or EFI BIOS memory map entries with ones given entirely on the kernel command line.

ACPI PM: Add possibility to change suspend sequence There are some systems out there that don't work correctly with our current suspend/hibernation code ordering. Provide a workaround for these systems allowing them to pass 'acpi_sleep=old_ordering' in the kernel command line so that it will use the pre-ACPI 2.0 ("old") suspend code ordering. Unfortunately, this requires us to add a platform hook to the resuming of devices for recovering the platform in case one of the device drivers' .suspend() routines returns error code. Namely, ACPI 1.0 specifies that _PTS should be called before suspending devices, but _WAK still should be called before resuming them in order to undo the changes made by _PTS. However, if there is an error during suspending devices, they are automatically resumed without returning control to the PM core, so the _WAK has to be called from within device_resume() in that cases. The patch also reorders and refactors the ACPI suspend/hibernation code to avoid duplication as far as reasonably possible. Signed-off-by: NRafael J.

Contention for scarce PCI memory resources has been growing due to an increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node systems. The kernel currently attempts by default to allocate memory for all PCI expansion ROMs so there has also been an increasing number of PCI memory allocation failures seen on these systems. This occurs because the BIOS either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource for all the expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI memory resource for expansion ROMs but provides the space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned P2P non-prefetch windows. The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign when related to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves but in some cases they can occur when attempting to allocate space for more critical BARs. This can happen when a successful expansion ROM allocation request consumes memory resource that was intended for a non-ROM BAR. We have seen this happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a P2P bridge where successful memory allocation for an expansion ROM BAR on device behind the bridge consumed memory that was intended for a non-ROM BAR on the P2P bridge. In all cases the allocation failure messages can be very confusing for users. This patch provides a new 'pci=norom' kernel boot parameter that can be used to disable the default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation. This provides a way to avoid the above described issues on systems that do not contain PCI devices for which drivers or user-level applications depend on the default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation behavior.

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the kernel: 1) freeing of active objects 2) reinitialization of active objects Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt context and usually causes the machine to panic. While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due to the intrusiveness into the timer code. The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause instantly and keep the system operational. Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special knowledge of the bug reporter. The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive, but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug. Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble. The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is freed. The tracked object operations are: - initializing an object - adding an object to a subsystem list - deleting an object from a subsystem list Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message and a stack trace is printed. The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's limited to the requirements of the first user (timers). The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a global lock. The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line option enables the debugging code.

This patch is for batching up the flushing of the IOTLB for the DMAR implementation found in the Intel VT-d hardware. It works by building a list of to be flushed IOTLB entries and a bitmap list of which DMAR engine they are from. After either a high water mark (250 accessible via debugfs) or 10ms the list of iova's will be reclaimed and the DMAR engines associated are IOTLB-flushed. This approach recovers 15 to 20% of the performance lost when using the IOMMU for my netperf udp stream benchmark with small packets. It can be disabled with a kernel boot parameter "intel_iommu=strict". Its use does weaken the IOMMU protections a bit.

We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the driver core, and one all on its own. This second list is sorted at boot time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels (2.2 and earlier days). There was also a "nosort" option to turn this sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days... Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1]. That is done using the driver core list instead. This change happened back in the early 2.5 days. Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed, no reliance on the BIOS is needed. Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if needed for any reason. This option is not going away, as some systems rely on them. This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS" mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years. I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for some reason defined them, but never used them. This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing. [1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions, as they are deprecated for use in this manner. If for some reason, a driver rely on the order and uses these functions, the breadth-first boot option will resolve any problem.

Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module. User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen. LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux and SMACK to do so. Do not let SMACK register smackfs if it was not chosen on boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and the initial task security setup (swapper->security) is done.
