      x86: Regex support and known-movable symbols for relocs, fix _end · 873b5271
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      This adds a new category of symbols to the relocs program: symbols
      which are known to be relative, even though the linker emits them as
      absolute; this is the case for symbols that live in the linker script,
      which currently applies to _end.
      
      Unfortunately the previous workaround of putting _end in its own empty
      section was defeated by newer binutils, which remove empty sections
      completely.
      
      This patch also changes the symbol matching to use regular expressions
      instead of hardcoded C for specific patterns.
      
      This is a decidedly non-minimal patch: a modified version of the
      relocs program is used as part of the Syslinux build, and this 	is
      basically a backport to Linux of some of those changes; they have
      thus been well tested.

      x86, msr: Remove incorrect, duplicated code in the MSR driver · 494c2ebf
      H. Peter Anvin 提交于
      The MSR driver would compute the values for cpu and c at declaration,
      and then again in the body of the function.  This isn't merely
      redundant, but unsafe, since cpu might not refer to a valid CPU at
      that point.
      
      Remove the unnecessary and dangerous references in the declarations.
      This code now matches the equivalent code in the CPUID driver.

      x86: Limit the number of processor bootup messages · 2eaad1fd
      Mike Travis 提交于
      When there are a large number of processors in a system, there
      is an excessive amount of messages sent to the system console.
      It's estimated that with 4096 processors in a system, and the
      console baudrate set to 56K, the startup messages will take
      about 84 minutes to clear the serial port.
      
      This set of patches limits the number of repetitious messages
      which contain no additional information.  Much of this information
      is obtainable from the /proc and /sysfs.   Some of the messages
      are also sent to the kernel log buffer as KERN_DEBUG messages so
      dmesg can be used to examine more closely any details specific to
      a problem.
      
      The new cpu bootup sequence for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING:
      
      Booting Node   0, Processors  #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 Ok.
      Booting Node   1, Processors  #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 Ok.
      ...
      Booting Node   3, Processors  #56 #57 #58 #59 #60 #61 #62 #63 Ok.
      Brought up 64 CPUs
      
      After the system is running, a single line boot message is displayed
      when CPU's are hotplugged on:
      
          Booting Node %d Processor %d APIC 0x%x
      
      Status of the following lines:
      
          CPU: Physical Processor ID:		printed once (for boot cpu)
          CPU: Processor Core ID:		printed once (for boot cpu)
          CPU: Hyper-Threading is disabled	printed once (for boot cpu)
          CPU: Thermal monitoring enabled	printed once (for boot cpu)
          CPU %d/0x%x -> Node %d:		removed
          CPU %d is now offline:		only if system_state == RUNNING
          Initializing CPU#%d:		KERN_DEBUG

      x86, msr: Add support for non-contiguous cpumasks · 50542251
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      The current rd/wrmsr_on_cpus helpers assume that the supplied
      cpumasks are contiguous. However, there are machines out there
      like some K8 multinode Opterons which have a non-contiguous core
      enumeration on each node (e.g. cores 0,2 on node 0 instead of 0,1), see
      http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1160268.
      
      This patch fixes out-of-bounds writes (see URL above) by adding per-CPU
      msr structs which are used on the respective cores.
      
      Additionally, two helpers, msrs_{alloc,free}, are provided for use by
      the callers of the MSR accessors.

      x86: Use find_e820() instead of hard coded trampoline address · 893f38d1
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Jens found the following crash/regression:
      
      [    0.000000] found SMP MP-table at [ffff8800000fdd80] fdd80
      [    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 0-fff BIOS data page
      
      and
      
      [    0.000000] Kernel panic - not syncing: Overlapping early reservations 12-f011 MP-table mpc to 6000-7fff TRAMPOLINE
      
      and bisected it to b24c2a92 ("x86: Move find_smp_config()
      earlier and avoid bootmem usage").
      
      It turns out the BIOS is using the first 64k for mptable,
      without reserving it.
      
      So try to find good range for the real-mode trampoline instead of
      hard coding it, in case some bios tries to use that range for sth.

      x86, AMD: Fix stale cpuid4_info shared_map data in shared_cpu_map cpumasks · ebb682f5
      Prarit Bhargava 提交于
      The per_cpu cpuid4_info shared_map can contain stale data when CPUs are added
      and removed.
      
      The stale data can lead to a NULL pointer derefernce panic on a remove of a
      CPU that has had siblings previously removed.
      
      This patch resolves the panic by verifying a cpu is actually online before
      adding it to the shared_cpu_map, only examining cpus that are part of
      the same lower level cache, and by updating other siblings lowest level cache
      maps when a cpu is added.
