On my legacy Pentium M laptop (Acer Extensa 2900) I get bogus MCE on a cold boot with CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE enabled, i.e. (after decoding it with mcelog): MCE 0 HARDWARE ERROR. This is *NOT* a software problem! Please contact your hardware vendor CPU 0 BANK 1 MCG status: MCi status: Error overflow Uncorrected error Error enabled Processor context corrupt MCA: Data CACHE Level-1 UNKNOWN Error STATUS f200000000000195 MCGSTATUS 0 [ The other STATUS values observed: f2000000000001b5 (... UNKNOWN error) and f200000000000115 (... READ Error). To verify that this is not a CONFIG_X86_NEW_MCE bug I also modified the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE code (which doesn't log any MCEs) to dump content of STATUS MSR before it is cleared during initialization. ] Since the bogus MCE results in a kernel taint (which in turn disables lockdep support) don't log boot MCEs on Pentium M (model == 13) CPUs by default ("mce=bootlog" boot parameter can be be used to get the old behavior).

Johannes Stezenbach reported that his Pentium-M based laptop does not have the local APIC enabled by default, and hence perfcounters do not get initialized. Add a fallback for this case: allow non-sampled counters and return with an error on sampled counters. This allows 'perf stat' to work out of box - and allows 'perf top' and 'perf record' to fall back on a hrtimer based sampling method. ( Passing 'lapic' on the boot line will allow hardware sampling to occur - but if the APIC is disabled permanently by the hardware then this fallback still allows more systems to use perfcounters. ) Also decouple perfcounter support from X86_LOCAL_APIC. -v2: fix typo breaking counters on all other systems ...

Wei Chong Tan reported a fast-PIT-calibration corner-case: | pit_expect_msb() is vulnerable to SMI disturbance corner case | in some platforms which causes /proc/cpuinfo to show wrong | CPU MHz value when quick_pit_calibrate() jumps to success | section. I think that the real issue isn't even an SMI - but the fact that in the very last iteration of the loop, there's no serializing instruction _after_ the last 'rdtsc'. So even in the absense of SMI's, we do have a situation where the cycle counter was read without proper serialization. The last check should be done outside the outer loop, since _inside_ the outer loop, we'll be testing that the PIT has the right MSB value has the right value in the next iteration. So only the _last_ iteration is special, because that's the one that will not check the PIT MSB value any more, and because the final 'get_cycles()' isn't serialized. In other words: - I'd like to move the PIT MSB check to after the last iteration, rather than in every iteration - I think we should comment on the fact that it's also a serializing instruction and so 'fences in' the TSC read. Here's a suggested replacement.

In uv_setup_irq(), the call to create_irq() initially assigns IRQ vectors to cpu 0. The subsequent call to assign_irq_vector() in arch_enable_uv_irq() migrates the IRQ to another cpu and frees the cpu 0 vector - at least it will be freed as soon as the "IRQ move" completes. arch_enable_uv_irq() needs to send a cleanup IPI to complete the IRQ move. Otherwise, assignment of GRU interrupts on large systems (>200 cpus) will exhaust the cpu 0 interrupt vectors and initialization of the GRU driver will fail.

From Gabe Black in bugzilla 13888: native_save_fl is implemented as follows: 11static inline unsigned long native_save_fl(void) 12{ 13 unsigned long flags; 14 15 asm volatile("# __raw_save_flags\n\t" 16 "pushf ; pop %0" 17 : "=g" (flags) 18 : /* no input */ 19 : "memory"); 20 21 return flags; 22} If gcc chooses to put flags on the stack, for instance because this is inlined into a larger function with more register pressure, the offset of the flags variable from the stack pointer will change when the pushf is performed. gcc doesn't attempt to understand that fact, and address used for pop will still be the same. It will write to somewhere near flags on the stack but not actually into it and overwrite some other value. I saw this happen in the ide_device_add_all function when running in a simulator I work on. I'm assuming that some quirk of how the simulated hardware is set up caused the code path this is on to be executed when it normally wouldn't. A simple fix might be to change "=g" to "=r".

The latest Apple MacBook (MacBook5,2) doesn't reboot successfully under Linux; neither the EFI reboot method nor the default method using the keyboard controller works (the system just hangs and doesn't reset). However, the method using the "PCI reset register" at 0xcf9 does work. This adds a quirk to detect this machine via DMI and force the reboot_type to BOOT_CF9. With this it reboots successfully without requiring a command-line option. Note that the EFI code forces reboot_type to BOOT_EFI when the machine is booted via EFI, but this overrides that since the core_initcall runs after the EFI initialization code.

The code was incorrectly reserving memtypes using the page virtual address instead of the physical address. Furthermore, the code was not ignoring highmem pages as it ought to. ( upstream does not pass in highmem pages yet - but upcoming graphics code will do it and there's no reason to not handle this properly in the CPA APIs.)

Changeset 3869c4aa that went in after 2.6.30-rc1 was a seemingly small change to _set_memory_wc() to make it complaint with SDM requirements. But, introduced a nasty bug, which can result in crash and/or strange corruptions when set_memory_wc is used. One such crash reported here http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/30/94 Actually, that changeset introduced two bugs. * change_page_attr_set() takes &addr as first argument and can the addr value might have changed on return, even for single page change_page_attr_set() call. That will make the second change_page_attr_set() in this routine operate on unrelated addr, that can eventually cause strange corruptions and bad page state crash. * The second change_page_attr_set() call, before setting _PAGE_CACHE_WC, should clear the earlier _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS, as otherwise cache attribute will not be WC (will be UC instead). The patch below fixes both these problems. Sending a single patch to fix both the problems, as the change is to the same line of code. The change to have a addr_copy is not very clean. But, it is simpler than making more changes through various routines in pageattr.c. A huge thanks to Jerome for reporting this problem and providing a simple test case that helped us root cause the problem.
