      x86, gart: fix gart detection for Fam11h CPUs · 87c6f401
      Joerg Roedel 提交于
      Impact: fix AMD Family 11h boot hangs / USB device problems
      
      The AMD Fam11h CPUs have a K8 northbridge. This northbridge is different
      from other family's because it lacks GART support (as I just learned).
      
      But the kernel implicitly expects a GART if it finds an AMD northbridge.
      
      Fix this by removing the Fam11h northbridge id from the scan list of K8
      northbridges. This patch also changes the message in the GART driver
      about missing K8 northbridges to tell that the GART is missing which is
      the correct information in this case.

      ftrace: use a real variable for ftrace_nop in x86 · 8115f3f0
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: avoid section mismatch warning, clean up
      
      The dynamic ftrace determines which nop is safe to use at start up.
      When it finds a safe nop for patching, it sets a pointer called ftrace_nop
      to point to the code. All call sites are then patched to this nop.
      
      Later, when tracing is turned on, this ftrace_nop variable is again used
      to compare the location to make sure it is a nop before we update it to
      an mcount call. If this fails just once, a warning is printed and ftrace
      is disabled.
      
      Rakib Mullick noted that the code that sets up the nop is a .init section
      where as the nop itself is in the .text section. This is needed because
      the nop is used later on after boot up. The problem is that the test of the
      nop jumps back to the setup code and causes a "section mismatch" warning.
      
      Rakib first recommended to convert the nop to .init.text, but as stated
      above, this would fail since that text is used later.
      
      The real solution is to extend Rabik's patch, and to make the ftrace_nop
      into an array, and just save the code from the assembly to this array.
      
      Now the section can stay as an init section, and we have a nop to use
      later on.

      x86/uv: memory allocation at initialization · ef020ab0
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      Impact: on SGI UV platforms, fix boot crash
      
      UV initialization is currently called too late to call alloc_bootmem_pages().
      The current sequence is:
      
       start_kernel()
         mem_init()
           free_all_bootmem()           <--- discard of bootmem
         rest_init()
           kernel_init()
             smp_prepare_cpus()
             native_smp_prepare_cpus()
               uv_system_init()         <--- uses alloc_bootmem_pages()
      
      It should be calling kmalloc().

      x86: restore the old swiotlb alloc_coherent behavior · 03967c52
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      This restores the old swiotlb alloc_coherent behavior (before the
      alloc_coherent rewrite):
      
        http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/200
      
      The old alloc_coherent avoids GFP_DMA allocation first and if the
      allocated address is not fit for the device's coherent_dma_mask, then
      dma_alloc_coherent does GFP_DMA allocation. If it fails,
      alloc_coherent calls swiotlb_alloc_coherent (in short, we rarely used
      swiotlb_alloc_coherent).
      
      After the alloc_coherent rewrite, dma_alloc_coherent
      (include/asm-x86/dma-mapping.h) directly calls swiotlb_alloc_coherent.
      It means that we possibly can't handle a device having dma_masks >
      24bit < 32bits since swiotlb_alloc_coherent doesn't have the above
      GFP_DMA retry mechanism.
      
      This patch fixes x86's swiotlb alloc_coherent to use the GFP_DMA retry
      mechanism, which dma_generic_alloc_coherent() provides now
      (pci-nommu.c and GART IOMMU driver also use
      dma_generic_alloc_coherent).
