      x86, mtrr: Constify struct mtrr_ops · 3b9cfc0a
      Emese Revfy 提交于
      This is part of the ops structure constification
      effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
      
      Benefits of this constification:
      
       * prevents modification of data that is shared
         (referenced) by many other structure instances
         at runtime
      
       * detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
         modification attempts on archs that enforce
         read-only kernel data at runtime
      
       * potentially better optimized code as the compiler
         can assume that the const data cannot be changed
      
       * the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
         and therefore exclude them from false sharing

      perf, hw_breakpoint, kgdb: Do not take mutex for kernel debugger · 5352ae63
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      This patch fixes the regression in functionality where the
      kernel debugger and the perf API do not nicely share hw
      breakpoint reservations.
      
      The kernel debugger cannot use any mutex_lock() calls because it
      can start the kernel running from an invalid context.
      
      A mutex free version of the reservation API needed to get
      created for the kernel debugger to safely update hw breakpoint
      reservations.
      
      The possibility for a breakpoint reservation to be concurrently
      processed at the time that kgdb interrupts the system is
      improbable. Should this corner case occur the end user is
      warned, and the kernel debugger will prohibit updating the
      hardware breakpoint reservations.
      
      Any time the kernel debugger reserves a hardware breakpoint it
      will be a system wide reservation.

      x86, hw_breakpoints, kgdb: Fix kgdb to use hw_breakpoint API · cc096749
      Jason Wessel 提交于
      In the 2.6.33 kernel, the hw_breakpoint API is now used for the
      performance event counters.  The hw_breakpoint_handler() now
      consumes the hw breakpoints that were previously set by kgdb
      arch specific code.  In order for kgdb to work in conjunction
      with this core API change, kgdb must use some of the low level
      functions of the hw_breakpoint API to install, uninstall, and
      deal with hw breakpoint reservations.
      
      The kgdb core required a change to call kgdb_disable_hw_debug
      anytime a slave cpu enters kgdb_wait() in order to keep all the
      hw breakpoints in sync as well as to prevent hitting a hw
      breakpoint while kgdb is active.
      
      During the architecture specific initialization of kgdb, it will
      pre-allocate 4 disabled (struct perf event **) structures.  Kgdb
      will use these to manage the capabilities for the 4 hw
      breakpoint registers, per cpu.  Right now the hw_breakpoint API
      does not have a way to ask how many breakpoints are available,
      on each CPU so it is possible that the install of a breakpoint
      might fail when kgdb restores the system to the run state.  The
      intent of this patch is to first get the basic functionality of
      hw breakpoints working and leave it to the person debugging the
      kernel to understand what hw breakpoints are in use and what
      restrictions have been imposed as a result.  Breakpoint
      constraints will be dealt with in a future patch.
      
      While atomic, the x86 specific kgdb code will call
      arch_uninstall_hw_breakpoint() and arch_install_hw_breakpoint()
      to manage the cpu specific hw breakpoints.
      
      The net result of these changes allow kgdb to use the same pool
      of hw_breakpoints that are used by the perf event API, but
      neither knows about future reservations for the available hw
      breakpoint slots.

      x86, irq: Check move_in_progress before freeing the vector mapping · 7f41c2e1
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      With the recent irq migration fixes (post 2.6.32), Gary Hade has noticed
      "No IRQ handler for vector" messages during the 2.6.33-rc1 kernel boot on IBM
      AMD platforms and root caused the issue to this commit:
      
      > commit 23359a88
      > Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
      > Date:   Mon Oct 26 14:24:33 2009 -0800
      >
      >    x86: Remove move_cleanup_count from irq_cfg
      
      As part of this patch, we have removed the move_cleanup_count check
      in smp_irq_move_cleanup_interrupt(). With this change, we can run into a
      situation where an irq cleanup interrupt on a cpu can cleanup the vector
      mappings associated with multiple irqs, of which one of the irq's migration
      might be still in progress. As such when that irq hits the old cpu, we get
      the "No IRQ handler" messages.
      
      Fix this by checking for the irq_cfg's move_in_progress and if the move
      is still in progress delay the vector cleanup to another irq cleanup
      interrupt request (which will happen when the irq starts arriving at the
      new cpu destination).

      Revert "x86, ucode-amd: Ensure ucode update on suspend/resume after CPU off/online cycle" · 2f99f5c8
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit 9f15226e.  It's just
      wrong, and broke resume for Rafael even on a non-AMD CPU.
      
      As Rafael says:
       "... it causes microcode_init_cpu() to be called during resume even for
        CPUs for which there's no microcode to apply.  That, in turn, results
        in executing request_firmware() (on Intel CPUs at least) which doesn't
        work at this stage of resume (we have device interrupts disabled, I/O
        devices are still suspended and so on).
      
        If I'm not mistaken, the "if (uci->valid)" logic means "if that CPU is
        known to us" , so before commit 9f15226e microcode_resume_cpu() was
        called for all CPUs already in the system during suspend, which was
        the right thing to do.  The commit changed it so that the CPUs without
        microcode to apply are now treated as "unknown", which is not quite
        right.
      
        The problem this commit attempted to solve has to be handled
        differently."

      Because we have to perform a cross-CPU call, but we could have run the
