      kexec: add BSS to resource tree · 00bf4098
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in
      the resource tree.  The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel
      reservation in that area.
      
      While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the
      actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before),
      the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem
      just as Kernel data and Kernel code.
      
      Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
      efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

      This patch removes the crashkernel parsing from

      x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array · 92cb7612
      Mike Travis 提交于
      cpu_data is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS.  This means that
      we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpus.
      When NR_CPU count is raised to 4096 the size of cpu_data becomes
      3,145,728 bytes.
      
      These changes were adopted from the sparc64 (and ia64) code.  An
      additional field was added to cpuinfo_x86 to be a non-ambiguous cpu
      index.  This corresponds to the index into a cpumask_t as well as the
      per_cpu index.  It's used in various places like show_cpuinfo().
      
      cpu_data is defined to be the boot_cpu_data structure for the NON-SMP
      case.

      x86: convert cpu_to_apicid to be a per cpu variable · 71fff5e6
      Mike Travis 提交于
      This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu
      variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus.  Access is mostly
      from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions.
      
      MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the
      x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup.  For this
      case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch()
      and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is
      initialized.
      
      A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH
      i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64.

      Revert "x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E" · f7f847b0
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit e66485d7, since
      Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
      mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
      on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
      of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
      work).
      
      It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
      x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.
      
      Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
      per Thomas:
      
        "I just looked into the code and the logic vs.  noapictimer on SMP is
         completely broken.
      
         On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
         timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
         systems.
      
         The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
         active, i.e.  "noapictimer" is not on the command line.  This defeats
         the whole purpose of "noapictimer".  It should be there to make boxen
         work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
         e.g.  the nx6325.
      
         The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
         related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.
      
         On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
         enabled we run into the following:
      
         PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
         interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.
      
         I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
         nevertheless.
      
         I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
         clock events conversion."
      
      On further reflection, Thomas noted:
      
         "It's even worse than I thought on the first check:
      
          "noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
          boot CPU apic timer from being used.  But the secondary CPU is still
          unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
          calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
          setup the APIC timer.  Wreckage guaranteed."
      
      so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
      for x86-64.

      x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E · e66485d7
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      commit 3556ddfa titled
      
       [PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
      
      solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64
      X2) with C1E enabled:
      
      When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches
      into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local
      apic timer.
      
      This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the
      patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path.
      
      x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really
      affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies
      incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble.
      
      -mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer
      patches.
      
      This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64.
      
      I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until
      someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this
      half a year ago already.
      
      Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

      Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation" · e3ebadd9
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This was broken.  It adds complexity, for no good reason.  Rather than
      separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
      and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
      is more readable and has nicer semantics.
      
      However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
      the exact same as __pa().  That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
      and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
      
      Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
      the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
      all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
      constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
      more sanity-checking of the argument.

      [PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation · 0dbf7028
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      Currently __pa_symbol is for use with symbols in the kernel address
      map and __pa is for use with pointers into the physical memory map.
      But the code is implemented so you can usually interchange the two.
      
      __pa which is much more common can be implemented much more cheaply
      if it is it doesn't have to worry about any other kernel address
      spaces.  This is especially true with a relocatable kernel as
      __pa_symbol needs to peform an extra variable read to resolve
      the address.
      
      There is a third macro that is added for the vsyscall data
      __pa_vsymbol for finding the physical addesses of vsyscall pages.
      
      Most of this patch is simply sorting through the references to
      __pa or __pa_symbol and using the proper one.  A little of
      it is continuing to use a physical address when we have it
      instead of recalculating it several times.
      
      swapper_pgd is now NULL.  leave_mm now uses init_mm.pgd
      and init_mm.pgd is initialized at boot (instead of compile time)
      to the physmem virtual mapping of init_level4_pgd.  The
      physical address changed.
      
      Except for the for EMPTY_ZERO page all of the remaining references
      to __pa_symbol appear to be during kernel initialization.  So this
      should reduce the cost of __pa in the common case, even on a relocated
      kernel.
      
      As this is technically a semantic change we need to be on the lookout
      for anything I missed.  But it works for me (tm).

      [PATCH] x86-64: Remove the identity mapping as early as possible · cfd243d4
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      With the rewrite of the SMP trampoline and the early page
      allocator there is nothing that needs identity mapped pages,
      once we start executing C code.
      
      So add zap_identity_mappings into head64.c and remove
      zap_low_mappings() from much later in the code.  The functions
       are subtly different thus the name change.
      
      This also kills boot_level4_pgt which was from an earlier
      attempt to move the identity mappings as early as possible,
      and is now no longer needed.  Essentially I have replaced
      boot_level4_pgt with trampoline_level4_pgt in trampoline.S
