      x86: don't send SIGBUS for kernel page faults · 96054569
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      It's wrong for several reasons, but the most direct one is that the
      fault may be for the stack accesses to set up a previous SIGBUS.  When
      we have a kernel exception, the kernel exception handler does all the
      fixups, not some user-level signal handler.
      
      Even apart from the nested SIGBUS issue, it's also wrong to give out
      kernel fault addresses in the signal handler info block, or to send a
      SIGBUS when a system call already returns EFAULT.

      x86, ia64, smp: use workqueues unconditionally during do_boot_cpu() · d7a7c573
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Workqueues are now initialized as part of the early_initcall().  So they
      are available for use during cold boot process aswell.

      kmap_atomic: make kunmap_atomic() harder to misuse · 597781f3
      Cesar Eduardo Barros 提交于
      kunmap_atomic() is currently at level -4 on Rusty's "Hard To Misuse"
      list[1] ("Follow common convention and you'll get it wrong"), except in
      some architectures when CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM is set[2][3].
      
      kunmap() takes a pointer to a struct page; kunmap_atomic(), however, takes
      takes a pointer to within the page itself.  This seems to once in a while
      trip people up (the convention they are following is the one from
      kunmap()).
      
      Make it much harder to misuse, by moving it to level 9 on Rusty's list[4]
      ("The compiler/linker won't let you get it wrong").  This is done by
      refusing to build if the type of its first argument is a pointer to a
      struct page.
      
      The real kunmap_atomic() is renamed to kunmap_atomic_notypecheck()
      (which is what you would call in case for some strange reason calling it
      with a pointer to a struct page is not incorrect in your code).
      
      The previous version of this patch was compile tested on x86-64.
      
      [1] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-04-01.html
      [2] In these cases, it is at level 5, "Do it right or it will always
          break at runtime."
      [3] At least mips and powerpc look very similar, and sparc also seems to
          share a common ancestor with both; there seems to be quite some
          degree of copy-and-paste coding here. The include/asm/highmem.h file
          for these three archs mention x86 CPUs at its top.
      [4] http://ozlabs.org/~rusty/index.cgi/tech/2008-03-30.html
      [5] As an aside, could someone tell me why mn10300 uses unsigned long as
          the first parameter of kunmap_atomic() instead of void *?

      x86, apic: Map the local apic when parsing the MP table. · 5989cd6a
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This fixes a regression in 2.6.35 from 2.6.34, that is
      present for select models of Intel cpus when people are
      using an MP table.
      
      The commit cf7500c0
      "x86, ioapic: In mpparse use mp_register_ioapic" started
      calling mp_register_ioapic from MP_ioapic_info.  An extremely
      simple change that was obviously correct.  Unfortunately
      mp_register_ioapic did just a little more than the previous
      hand crafted code and so we gained this call path.
      
      The problem call path is:
      MP_ioapic_info()
        mp_register_ioapic()
         io_apic_unique_id()
           io_apic_get_unique_id()
             get_physical_broadcast()
               modern_apic()
                 lapic_get_version()
                   apic_read(APIC_LVR)
      
      Which turned out to be a problem because the local apic
      was not mapped, at that point, unlike the similar point
      in the ACPI parsing code.
      
      This problem is fixed by mapping the local apic when
      parsing the mptable as soon as we reasonably can.
      
      Looking at the number of places we setup the fixmap for
      the local apic, I see some serious simplification opportunities.
      For the moment except for not duplicating the setting up of the
      fixmap in init_apic_mappings, I have not acted on them.
      
      The regression from 2.6.34 is tracked in bug
