      x86: Add a synthetic TSC_RELIABLE feature bit. · eca0cd02
      由 Alok Kataria 提交于 
      Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.

Use the synthetic TSC_RELIABLE bit to workaround virtualization anomalies.

Virtual TSCs can be kept nearly in sync, but because the virtual TSC
offset is set by software, it's not perfect.  So, the TSC
synchronization test can fail. Even then the TSC can be used as a
clocksource since the VMware platform exports a reliable TSC to the
guest for timekeeping purposes. Use this bit to check if we need to
skip the TSC sync checks.

Along with this also set the CONSTANT_TSC bit when on VMware, since we
still want to use TSC as clocksource on VM running over hardware which
has unsynchronized TSC's (opteron's), since the hypervisor will take
care of providing consistent TSC to the guest.

      x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor · 88b094fb
      由 Alok Kataria 提交于 
      Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware.

v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request
	 behind a hypervisor.c file
v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure.
	 This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function.

This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware.
The current way to check if we are on VMware is following,
#  check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000
   cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature.
#  if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string
   if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are
   under VMware.

The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products,
which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf.
Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor
port should never be accessed on native hardware.

This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of
calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized
environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from
the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware.
Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on
their platform.

      x86, gart: fix gart detection for Fam11h CPUs · 87c6f401
      由 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
      由 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
      由 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
      由 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).
