      x86, apic: fix initialization of wakeup_cpu · 0e81cb59
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      With refactoring of wake_cpu macros the 32bit code in tip doesn't
      execute generic_apic_probe if CONFIG_X86_32_NON_STANDARD is not set.
      
      Even on a x86 STANDARD cpu we need to execute the generic_apic_probe
      function, as we rely on this function to execute the update_genapic
      quirk which initilizes apic->wakeup_cpu.
      
      Failing to do so results in we making a call to a null function in do_boot_cpu.
      
      The stack trace without the patch goes like this.

      x86: more general identifier for Phoenix BIOS · 0af40a4b
      Philipp Kohlbecher 提交于
      Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
      
      Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
      LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
      
      This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
      more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
      versions are handled.
      
      Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
      successfully on my machine.

      We can not put that into x86_quirks, because that is __initdata.
      So try to move that to genapic, and add update_genapic in x86_quirks.
      
      later we even could use that stub to:
      
       1. autodetect CONFIG_ES7000_CLUSTERED_APIC
       2. more correct inquire_remote_apic with apic_verbosity setting.

      x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor · 88b094fb
      Alok Kataria 提交于
      Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.
      
      v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
      	 behind a hypervisor.c file
      v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
      	 This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.
      
      This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
      The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
      #  check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
         cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
      #  if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
         if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
         under VMware.
      
      The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
      which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
      Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
      port should never be accessed on native hardware.
      
      This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
      calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
      environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
      the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
      Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
      their platform.

      kdump: make elfcorehdr_addr independent of CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE · 57cac4d1
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE
        but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.  For
        example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if
        kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table.
        So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be
        able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup
        calgary iommu accordingly.
      
      o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under
        CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE.
      
      o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files.
        (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file
        otherwise that would have been the best place).
      
      o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in
        second kernel without KEXEC being enabled.
      
      o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for
        elfcorehdr_addr.  I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh.
        Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not
        broken on sh.

      x86: add X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K · fc381519
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      This bugzilla:
      
        http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
      
      Documents a wide range of systems where the BIOS utilizes the first
      64K of physical memory during suspend/resume and other hardware events.
      
      Currently we reserve this memory on all AMI and Phoenix BIOS systems.
      Life is too short to hunt subtle memory corruption problems like this,
      so we try to be robust by default.
      
      Still, allow this to be overriden: allow users who want that first 64K
      of memory to be available to the kernel disable the quirk, via
      CONFIG_X86_RESERVE_LOW_64K=n.
      
      Also, allow the early reservation to overlap with other
      early reservations.

      x86: reserve low 64K on AMI and Phoenix BIOS boxen · 1e22436e
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      there's multiple reports about suspend/resume related low memory
      corruption in this bugzilla:
      
        http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237
      
      the common pattern is that the corruption is caused by the BIOS,
      and that it affects some portion of the first 64K of physical RAM.
      
      So add a DMI quirk
      
      This will waste 64K RAM on 'good' systems too, but without knowing
      the exact nature of this BIOS memory corruption this is the safest
      approach.
      
      This might as well solve a wide range of suspend/resume breakages
      under Linux.
