      [PATCH] irqpoll · 200803df
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Anyone reporting a stuck IRQ should try these options.  Its effectiveness
      varies we've found in the Fedora case.  Quite a few systems with misdescribed
      IRQ routing just work when you use irqpoll.  It also fixes up the VIA systems
      although thats now fixed with the VIA quirk (which we could just make default
      as its what Redmond OS does but Linus didn't like it historically).
      
      A small number of systems have jammed IRQ sources or misdescribes that cause
      an IRQ that we have no handler registered anywhere for.  In those cases it
      doesn't help.

      [PATCH] ppc64: don't create spurious symlinks under node0 sysdev · f5f1cc54
      Nathan Lynch 提交于
      On partitioned systems we can wind up creating spurious symlinks in
      /sys/devices/system/node/node0 to non-present cpus.  The symlinks are
      not broken; the problem is that we're potentially misinforming
      userspace that there is a relationship between node0 and cpus which
      are to be added later.  There's no guarantee at all that a cpu which
      is added later will belong to node 0.

      [PATCH] PCI: fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch · 2311b1f2
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      This is an updated version of Ben's fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64.patch
      which is in 2.6.12-rc4-mm1.
      
      It fixes the patch to work on PPC iSeries, removes some debug printks
      at Ben's request, and incorporates your
      fix-pci-mmap-on-ppc-and-ppc64-fix.patch also.
      
      Originally from Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
      
      This patch was discussed at length on linux-pci and so far, the last
      iteration of it didn't raise any comment.  It's effect is a nop on
      architecture that don't define the new pci_resource_to_user() callback
      anyway.  It allows architecture like ppc who put weird things inside of
      PCI resource structures to convert to some different value for user
      visible ones.  It also fixes mmap'ing of IO space on those archs.

      [PATCH] Return probe redesign: ppc64 specific implementation · 97f7943d
      Rusty Lynch 提交于
      The following is a patch provided by Ananth Mavinakayanahalli that implements
      the new PPC64 specific parts of the new function return probe design.
      
      NOTE: Since getting Ananth's patch, I changed trampoline_probe_handler()
            to consume each of the outstanding return probem instances (feedback
            on my original RFC after Ananth cut a patch), and also added the
            arch_init() function (adding arch specific initialization.) I have
            cross compiled but have not testing this on a PPC64 machine.
      
      Changes include:
       * Addition of kretprobe_trampoline to act as a dummy function for instrumented
         functions to return to, and for the return probe infrastructure to place
         a kprobe on on, gaining control so that the return probe handler
         can be called, and so that the instruction pointer can be moved back
         to the original return address.
       * Addition of arch_init(), allowing a kprobe to be registered on
         kretprobe_trampoline
       * Addition of trampoline_probe_handler() which is used as the pre_handler
         for the kprobe inserted on kretprobe_implementation.  This is the function
         that handles the details for calling the return probe handler function
         and returning control back at the original return address
       * Addition of arch_prepare_kretprobe() which is setup as the pre_handler
         for a kprobe registered at the beginning of the target function by
         kernel/kprobes.c so that a return probe instance can be setup when
         a caller enters the target function.  (A return probe instance contains
         all the needed information for trampoline_probe_handler to do it's job.)
       * Hooks added to the exit path of a task so that we can cleanup any left-over
         return probe instances (i.e. if a task dies while inside a targeted function
         then the return probe instance was reserved at the beginning of the function
         but the function never returns so we need to mark the instance as unused.)

      [PATCH] kdump: Use real pt_regs from exception · 6e274d14
      Alexander Nyberg 提交于
      Makes kexec_crashdump() take a pt_regs * as an argument.  This allows to
      get exact register state at the point of the crash.  If we come from direct
      panic assertion NULL will be passed and the current registers saved before
      crashdump.
      
      This hooks into two places:
      die(): check the conditions under which we will panic when calling
      do_exit and go there directly with the pt_regs that caused the fatal
      fault.
      
      die_nmi(): If we receive an NMI lockup while in the kernel use the
      pt_regs and go directly to crash_kexec(). We're probably nested up badly
      at this point so this might be the only chance to escape with proper
      information.

      [PATCH] ppc64: kexec support for ppc64 · fce0d574
      R Sharada 提交于
      This patch implements the kexec support for ppc64 platforms.
      
      A couple of notes:
      
      1)  We copy the pages in virtual mode, using the full base kernel
          and a statically allocated stack.   At kexec_prepare time we
          scan the pages and if any overlap our (0, _end[]) range we
          return -ETXTBSY.
      
          On PowerPC 64 systems running in LPAR (logical partitioning)
          mode, only a small region of memory, referred to as the RMO,
          can be accessed in real mode.  Since Linux runs with only one
          zone of memory in the memory allocator, and it can be orders of
          magnitude more memory than the RMO, looping until we allocate
          pages in the source region is not feasible.  Copying in virtual
          means we don't have to write a hash table generation and call
          hypervisor to insert translations, instead we rely on the pinned
          kernel linear mapping.  The kernel already has move to linked
          location built in, so there is no requirement to load it at 0.
      
          If we want to load something other than a kernel, then a stub
          can be written to copy a linear chunk in real mode.
      
      2)  The start entry point gets passed parameters from the kernel.
          Slaves are started at a fixed address after copying code from
          the entry point.
      
          All CPUs get passed their firmware assigned physical id in r3
          (most calling conventions use this register for the first
          argument).
      
          This is used to distinguish each CPU from all other CPUs.
          Since firmware is not around, there is no other way to obtain
          this information other than to pass it somewhere.
      
          A single CPU, referred to here as the master and the one executing
          the kexec call, branches to start with the address of start in r4.
          While this can be calculated, we have to load it through a gpr to
          branch to this point so defining the register this is contained
          in is free.  A stack of unspecified size is available at r1
          (also common calling convention).
      
          All remaining running CPUs are sent to start at absolute address
          0x60 after copying the first 0x100 bytes from start to address 0.
          This convention was chosen because it matches what the kernel
          has been doing itself.  (only gpr3 is defined).
      
          Note: This is not quite the convention of the kexec bootblock v2
          in the kernel.  A stub has been written to convert between them,
          and we may adjust the kernel in the future to allow this directly
          without any stub.
      
      3)  Destination pages can be placed anywhere, even where they
          would not be accessible in real mode.  This will allow us to
          place ram disks above the RMO if we choose.

      [PATCH] i386 CPU hotplug · f3705136
      Zwane Mwaikambo 提交于
      (The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
      is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
      <shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)
      
      The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
      registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree.  In
      order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
      cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs().  The difference being
      that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
      cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
      queued external interrupts on the APICs.  There are additional changes to s390
      and ppc64 to account for this change.
      
      1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
      2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
      3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
      4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
      5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
      6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
      7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
      8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
      9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
      10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
      11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
      12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
      13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.
