It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is safe). I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay. That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't blink at all on that situation. This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode. The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.

The Linux kernel assigns BARs that a BIOS did not assign, most likely to handle broken BIOSes that didn't enumerate the devices correctly. On UV the BIOS purposely doesn't assign I/O BARs for certain devices/ drivers we know don't use them (examples, LSI SAS, Qlogic FC, ...). We purposely don't assign these I/O BARs because I/O Space is a very limited resource. There is only 64k of I/O Space, and in a PCIe topology that space gets divided up into 4k chucks (this is due to the fact that a pci-to-pci bridge's I/O decoder is aligned at 4k)... Thus a system can have at most 16 cards with I/O BARs: (64k / 4k = 16) SGI needs to scale to >16 devices with I/O BARs. So by not assigning I/O BARs on devices we know don't use them, we can do that (iff the kernel doesn't go and assign these BARs that the BIOS purposely didn't assign). This patch will not assign a resource to a device BAR if that BAR was not assigned by the BIOS, and the kernel cmdline option 'pci=nobar' was specified. This patch is closely modeled after the 'pci=norom' option that currently exists in the tree.

Commit c7f48656 (PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports. However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well. That, in turn, causes problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not loaded. The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage of CPU time. To work around this issue, change the default so that the native PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help of the pcie_pme= command line switch.

This patch adds the capability to use the usb debug port with the kernel debugger. It is also still possible to use this functionality with or without the earlyprintk=dbgpX. It is possible to use the kgdbwait boot argument to debug very early in the kernel start up code. There are two ways to use this driver extension with a kernel boot argument. 1) kgdbdbgp=# -- Where # is the number of the usb debug controller You must use sysrq-g to break into the kernel debugger on another connection type other than the dbgp. 2) kgdbdbgp=#debugControlNum#,#Seconds# In this mode, the usb debug port is polled every #Seconds# for character input. It is possible to use gdb or press control-c to break into the kernel debugger. From the implementation perspective there are 3 high level changes. 1) Allow variable retries for the the hardware via dbgp_bulk_read(). The amount of retries for the dbgp_bulk_read() needed to be variable instead of fixed. We do not want to poll at all when the kernel is operating in interrupt driven mode. The polling only occurs if the kernel was booted when specifying some number of seconds via the kgdbdbgp boot argument (IE kgdbdbgp=0,1). In this case the loop count is reduced to 1 so as introduce the smallest amount of latency as possible. 2) Save the bulk IN endpoint address for use by the kgdb code. 3) The addition of the kgdb interface code. This consisted of adding in a character read function for the dbgp as well as a polling thread to allow the dbgp to interrupt the kernel execution. The rest is the typical kgdb I/O api.

This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb. This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard. All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the keyboard is done via kgdboc. If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you would add to your kernel command arguments: kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use: kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0 You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.

ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware error record to and from some simple persistent storage (such as flash). The Linux kernel support implementation is quite simple and workable in NMI context. So it can be used to save hardware error record into flash in hardware error exception or NMI handler, where other more complex persistent storage such as disk is not usable. After saving hardware error records via ERST in hardware error exception or NMI handler, the error records can be retrieved and logged into disk or network after a clean reboot. For more information about ERST, please refer to ACPI Specification version 4.0, section 17.4. This patch incorporate fixes from Jin Dongming.

The new nmi_watchdog (which uses the perf event subsystem) is very similar in structure to the softlockup detector. Using Ingo's suggestion, I combined the two functionalities into one file: kernel/watchdog.c. Now both the nmi_watchdog (or hardlockup detector) and softlockup detector sit on top of the perf event subsystem, which is run every 60 seconds or so to see if there are any lockups. To detect hardlockups, cpus not responding to interrupts, I implemented an hrtimer that runs 5 times for every perf event overflow event. If that stops counting on a cpu, then the cpu is most likely in trouble. To detect softlockups, tasks not yielding to the scheduler, I used the previous kthread idea that now gets kicked every time the hrtimer fires. If the kthread isn't being scheduled neither is anyone else and the warning is printed to the console. I tested this on x86_64 and both the softlockup and hardlockup paths work. V2: - cleaned up the Kconfig and softlockup combination - surrounded hardlockup cases with #ifdef CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_NMI - seperated out the softlockup case from perf event subsystem - re-arranged the enabling/disabling nmi watchdog from proc space - added cpumasks for hardlockup failure cases - removed fallback to soft events if no PMU exists for hard events V3: - comment cleanups - drop support for older softlockup code - per_cpu cleanups - completely remove software clock base hardlockup detector - use per_cpu masking on hard/soft lockup detection - #ifdef cleanups - rename config option NMI_WATCHDOG to LOCKUP_DETECTOR - documentation additions V4: - documentation fixes - convert per_cpu to __get_cpu_var - powerpc compile fixes V5: - split apart warn flags for hard and soft lockups TODO: - figure out how to make an arch-agnostic clock2cycles call (if possible) to feed into perf events as a sample period [fweisbec: merged conflict patch] Signed-off-by: NDon Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com> Cc: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com> Cc: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> LKML-Reference: <1273266711-18706-2-git-send-email-dzickus@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NFrederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, sysctl and sysrq let one dump every cpu buffers when an oops or panic happens. It's nice when you have few cpus but it may take ages if have many, plus you miss the real origin of the problem in all the cpu traces. Sometimes, all you need is to dump the cpu buffer that triggered the opps, most of the time it is our main interest. This patch modifies ftrace_dump_on_oops to handle this choice. The ftrace_dump_on_oops kernel parameter, when it comes alone, has the same behaviour than before. But ftrace_dump_on_oops=orig_cpu will only dump the buffer of the cpu that oops'ed. Similarly, sysctl kernel.ftrace_dump_on_oops=1 and echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops keep their previous behaviour.

acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was universally deployed and enabled by default in the major Linux distributions. At that time, there were a fair number of people who or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off, yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading. Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht" are accidental, and thus is it possible that it is doing more harm than good. In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht. In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option. Signed-off-by: NLen Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the price of the additional mapping operations. Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system time used from 59.737s to 55.9s. With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914) User Time 515.983 (5.85019) System Time 59.737 (1.26727) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796) Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64) Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307) With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated: Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation): Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968) User Time 515.659 (6.07012) System Time 55.9 (1.07799) Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266) Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13) Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039) This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the status-quo as the default. It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold at 16G of total RAM. Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration, meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using lowmem PTEs. Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in practice 64G is still supported). It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

Apparently, some machines may have problems with PCI run-time power management if MSIs are used for the native PCIe PME signaling. In particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to this port. [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.] However, if INTx interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything works just fine. For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling, introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this table.

PCIe native PME detection mechanism is based on interrupts generated by root ports or event collectors every time a PCIe device sends a PME message upstream. Once a PME message has been sent by an endpoint device and received by its root port (or event collector in the case of root complex integrated endpoints), the Requester ID from the message header is registered in the root port's Root Status register. At the same time, the PME Status bit of the Root Status register is set to indicate that there's a PME to handle. If PCIe PME interrupt is enabled for the root port, it generates an interrupt once the PME Status has been set. After receiving the interrupt, the kernel can identify the PCIe device that generated the PME using the Requester ID from the root port's Root Status register. [For details, see PCI Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.0.] Implement a driver for the PCIe PME root port service working in accordance with the above description.

Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during boot. This can prevent systems booting properly. There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be booted. So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via the kernel command line. Signed-off-by: NRussell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
