      tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3 · 0ca59dd9
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime
      
      On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state.
      On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but
      it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data
      is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a
      crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime.
      
      Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too.
      
      Changes on v2:
      
      We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the
      current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing.
      
      This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where
      the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper
      function used at this stage.

      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.

      x86: generate names for /proc/cpuinfo from <asm/cpufeature.h> · 7414aa41
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      We have had a number of cases where <asm/cpufeature.h> (and its
      predecessors) have diverged substantially from the names list in
      /proc/cpuinfo.  This patch generates the latter from the former.
      
      It retains the option for explicitly overriding the strings, but by
      making that require a separate action it should at least be less
      likely to happen.
      
      It would be good to do a future pass and rename strings that are
      gratuituously different in the kernel (/proc/cpuinfo is a userspace
      interface and must remain constant.)

      x86: configuration options to compile out x86 CPU support code · 8d02c211
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      This patch adds some configuration options that allow to compile out
      CPU vendor-specific code in x86 kernels (in arch/x86/kernel/cpu). The
      new configuration options are only visible when CONFIG_EMBEDDED is
      selected, as they are mostly interesting for space savings reasons.
      
      An example of size saving, on x86 with only Intel CPU support:
      
         text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
      1125479	 118760	 212992	1457231	 163c4f	vmlinux.old
      1121355	 116536	 212992	1450883	 162383	vmlinux
        -4124   -2224       0   -6348   -18CC +/-
      
      However, I'm not exactly sure that the Kconfig wording is correct with
      regard to !64BIT / 64BIT.

      x86: move cmpxchg fallbacks to a generic place · 774400a3
      Thomas Petazzoni 提交于
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c defines a few fallback functions
      (cmpxchg_*()) that are used when the CPU doesn't support cmpxchg
      and/or cmpxchg64 natively. However, while defined in an Intel-specific
      file, these functions are also used for CPUs from other vendors when
      they don't support cmpxchg and/or cmpxchg64. This breaks the
      compilation when support for Intel CPUs is disabled.
      
      This patch moves these functions to a new
      arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cmpxchg.c file, unconditionally compiled when
      X86_32 is enabled.

      x86: remove NexGen support · f7f17a67
      Dmitri Vorobiev 提交于
      It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
      
         http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
      
      Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
      a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
      essentially dead.
      
      As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
      above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
      
      The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
      couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
      which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.

      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
