      ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversions · 16239630
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: keep kernel text read only
      
      Because dynamic ftrace converts the calls to mcount into and out of
      nops at run time, we needed to always keep the kernel text writable.
      
      But this defeats the point of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. This patch converts
      the kernel code to writable before ftrace modifies the text, and converts
      it back to read only afterward.
      
      The kernel text is converted to read/write, stop_machine is called to
      modify the code, then the kernel text is converted back to read only.
      
      The original version used SYSTEM_STATE to determine when it was OK
      or not to change the code to rw or ro. Andrew Morton pointed out that
      using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea since there is no guarantee to what
      its state will actually be.
      
      Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
      themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
      OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.
      
      [ Update: Ingo Molnar suggested moving the prototypes to cacheflush.h ]

      Shows rcu_check_callbacks() being invoked way too often. It should be called
      once per jiffy, and here it is called no less than 22 times in about
      3.5 milliseconds, meaning one call every 160 microseconds or so.
      
      Why do we need to call rcu_pending() and rcu_check_callbacks() from the
      idle loop of 32-bit x86, especially given that no other architecture does
      this?
      
      The following patch removes the call to rcu_pending() and
      rcu_check_callbacks() from the x86 32-bit idle loop in order to
      reduce the softirq load on idle systems.

      x86, hpet: fix for LS21 + HPET = boot hang · b13e2464
      john stultz 提交于
      Between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24-rc1 a change was made that broke IBM LS21
      systems that had the HPET enabled in the BIOS, resulting in boot hangs
      for x86_64.
      
      Specifically commit b8ce3359, which
      merges the i386 and x86_64 HPET code.
      
      Prior to this commit, when we setup the HPET timers in x86_64, we did
      the following:
      
      	hpet_writel(HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC | HPET_TN_SETVAL |
                          HPET_TN_32BIT, HPET_T0_CFG);
      
      However after the i386/x86_64 HPET merge, we do the following:
      
      	cfg = hpet_readl(HPET_Tn_CFG(timer));
      	cfg |= HPET_TN_ENABLE | HPET_TN_PERIODIC |
      			HPET_TN_SETVAL | HPET_TN_32BIT;
      	hpet_writel(cfg, HPET_Tn_CFG(timer));
      
      However on LS21s with HPET enabled in the BIOS, the HPET_T0_CFG register
      boots with Level triggered interrupts (HPET_TN_LEVEL) enabled. This
      causes the periodic interrupt to be not so periodic, and that results in
      the boot time hang I reported earlier in the delay calibration.
      
      My fix: Always disable HPET_TN_LEVEL when setting up periodic mode.

      Impact: avoid access to percpu vars in preempible context
      
      They are intended to be used whenever there's the possibility
      that there's some stale state which is going to be overwritten
      with a queued update, or to force a state change when we may be
      in lazy mode.  Either way, we could end up calling it with
      preemption enabled, so wrap the functions in their own little
      preempt-disable section so they can be safely called in any
      context (though preemption should never be enabled if we're actually
      in a lazy state).

      x86: fix math_emu register frame access · d315760f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      do_device_not_available() is the handler for #NM and it declares that
      it takes a unsigned long and calls math_emu(), which takes a long
      argument and surprisingly expects the stack frame starting at the zero
      argument would match struct math_emu_info, which isn't true regardless
      of configuration in the current code.
      
      This patch makes do_device_not_available() take struct pt_regs like
      other exception handlers and initialize struct math_emu_info with
      pointer to it and pass pointer to the math_emu_info to math_emulate()
      like normal C functions do.  This way, unless gcc makes a copy of
      struct pt_regs in do_device_not_available(), the register frame is
      correctly accessed regardless of kernel configuration or compiler
      used.
      
      This doesn't fix all math_emu problems but it at least gets it
      somewhat working.

      As a result of this missing release, the hypervisor is now unaware of the

      After this the guest may start using the same page for other purposes, and
      depending on what use the page is put to, it may result in various performance

      in reference from the function vmi_activate() to the function
      .devinit.text:vmi_time_ap_init()
      The function vmi_activate() references
      the function __devinit vmi_time_ap_init().
      This is often because vmi_activate lacks a __devinit
      annotation or the annotation of vmi_time_ap_init is wrong.
      
      Fix it by marking vmi_activate() as __init too.

      x86: unmask CPUID levels on Intel CPUs, fix · 99fb4d34
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Impact: fix boot hang on pre-model-15 Intel CPUs
      
      rdmsrl_safe() does not work in very early bootup code yet, because we
      dont have the pagefault handler installed yet so exception section
      does not get parsed. rdmsr_safe() will just crash and hang the bootup.
      
      So limit the MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE MSR read to those CPU types that
      support it.
