      x86, geode: add a VSA2 ID for General Software · ffe6e1da
      Jordan Crouse 提交于
      General Software writes their own VSA2 module for their version
      of the Geode BIOS, which returns a different ID then the standard
      VSA2.  This was causing the framebuffer driver to break for most
      GSW boards.

      x86: use BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE on 32-bit · d3942cff
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patch uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE for crashkernel reservation also for
      i386 and prints a error message on failure.
      
      The patch is still for 2.6.26 since it is only bug fixing. The unification
      of reserve_crashkernel() between i386 and x86_64 should be done for 2.6.27.

      x86, 32-bit: fix boot failure on TSC-less processors · df17b1d9
      Mikael Pettersson 提交于
      Booting 2.6.26-rc6 on my 486 DX/4 fails with a "BUG: Int 6"
      (invalid opcode) and a kernel halt immediately after the
      kernel has been uncompressed. The BUG shows EIP pointing
      to an rdtsc instruction in native_read_tsc(), invoked from
      native_sched_clock().
      
      (This error occurs so early that not even the serial console
      can capture it.)
      
      A bisection showed that this bug first occurs in 2.6.26-rc3-git7,
      via commit 9ccc906c:
      
      >x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable
      >
      >tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
      >the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
      >tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()
      >decision when to use TSC understandable.
      >
      >Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.
      >
      >Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
      
      The core reason for this bug is that native_sched_clock() gets
      called before tsc_init().
      
      Before the commit above, tsc_32.c used a "tsc_enabled" variable
      which defaulted to 0 == disabled, and which only got enabled late
      in tsc_init(). Thus early calls to native_sched_clock() would skip
      the TSC and use jiffies instead.
      
      After the commit above, tsc_32.c uses a "tsc_disabled" variable
      which defaults to 0, meaning that the TSC is Ok to use. Early calls
      to native_sched_clock() now erroneously try to use the TSC on
      !cpu_has_tsc processors, leading to invalid opcode exceptions.
      
      My proposed fix is to initialise tsc_disabled to a "soft disabled"
      state distinct from the hard disabled state set up by the "notsc"
      kernel option. This fixes the native_sched_clock() problem. It also
      allows tsc_init() to be simplified: instead of setting tsc_disabled = 1
      on every error return, we just set tsc_disabled = 0 once when all
      checks have succeeded.
      
      I've verified that this lets my 486 boot again. I've also verified
      that a Core2 machine still uses the TSC as clocksource after the patch.

      Somehow (as described below) TS_USEDFPU is set but the fpu is not
      allocated or freed.
      
      Another possible FPU pre-emption issue with the sleazy FPU optimization
      which was benign before but not so anymore, with the dynamic FPU allocation
      patch.
      
      New task is getting exec'd and it is prempted at the below point.
      
      flush_thread() {
      	...
      	/*
      	* Forget coprocessor state..
      	*/
      	clear_fpu(tsk);
      		<----- Preemption point
      	clear_used_math();
      	...
      }
      
      Now when it context switches in again, as the used_math() is still set
      and fpu_counter can be > 5, we will do a math_state_restore() which sets
      the task's TS_USEDFPU. After it continues from the above preemption point
      it does clear_used_math() and much later free_thread_xstate().
      
      Now, at the next context switch, it is quite possible that xstate is
      null, used_math() is not set and TS_USEDFPU is still set. This will
      trigger unlazy_fpu() causing kernel oops.
      
      Fix this  by clearing tsk's fpu_counter before clearing task's fpu.

      provide rtc_cmos platform device · 1da2e3d6
      Stas Sergeev 提交于
      Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me.  It
      turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
      the parport_pc bugs.  I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
      past, and now it have regressed.
      
      The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
      when PNP is disabled.  This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
      on an older PCs.

      Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.
      
      The warning should be harmless, however.

      It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from.  Too bad,
      lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
      go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
      The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
      this is the case. Yep, seems like it.
      
      This looks relevant:

        resume_userspace

                        refrigerator()
                          task_lock() -> check_flags() -> BANG
      
      The normal path is:
      
      syscall_exit_work
        resume_userspace
          DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
          restore_all
