      x86-64: Convert irqstacks to per-cpu · 26f80bd6
      Brian Gerst 提交于
      Move the irqstackptr variable from the PDA to per-cpu.  Make the
      stacks themselves per-cpu, removing some specific allocation code.
      Add a seperate flag (is_boot_cpu) to simplify the per-cpu boot
      adjustments.
      
      tj: * sprinkle some underbars around.
      
          * irq_stack_ptr is not used till traps_init(), no reason to
            initialize it early.  On SMP, just leaving it NULL till proper
            initialization in setup_per_cpu_areas() works.  Dropped
            is_boot_cpu and early irq_stack_ptr initialization.
      
          * do DECLARE/DEFINE_PER_CPU(char[IRQ_STACK_SIZE], irq_stack)
            instead of (char, irq_stack[IRQ_STACK_SIZE]).

      x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor · 88b094fb
      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: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
      format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
      
      The format:
      
      1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
      2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
         distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
      3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
         underscores.

      x86, ptrace: PEBS support · 93fa7636
      Markus Metzger 提交于
      Polish the ds.h interface and add support for PEBS.
      
      Ds.c is meant to be the resource allocator for per-thread and per-cpu
      BTS and PEBS recording.
      It is used by ptrace/utrace to provide execution tracing of debugged tasks.
      It will be used by profilers (e.g. perfmon2).
      It may be used by kernel debuggers to provide a kernel execution trace.
      
      Changes in detail:
      - guard DS and ptrace by CONFIG macros
      - separate DS and BTS more clearly
      - simplify field accesses
      - add functions to manage PEBS buffers
      - add simple protection/allocation mechanism
      - added support for Atom
      
      Opens:
      - buffer overflow handling
        Currently, only circular buffers are supported. This is all we need
        for debugging. Profilers would want an overflow notification.
        This is planned to be added when perfmon2 is made to use the ds.h
        interface.
      - utrace intermediate layer

      fix idle (arch, acpi and apm) and lockdep · 7f424a8b
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      OK, so 25-mm1 gave a lockdep error which made me look into this.
      
      The first thing that I noticed was the horrible mess; the second thing I
      saw was hacks like: 71e93d15
      
      The problem is that arch idle routines are somewhat inconsitent with
      their IRQ state handling and instead of fixing _that_, we go paper over
      the problem.
      
      So the thing I've tried to do is set a standard for idle routines and
      fix them all up to adhere to that. So the rules are:
      
        idle routines are entered with IRQs disabled
        idle routines will exit with IRQs enabled
      
      Nearly all already did this in one form or another.
      
      Merge the 32 and 64 bit bits so they no longer have different bugs.
      
      As for the actual lockdep warning; __sti_mwait() did a plainly un-annotated
      irq-enable.

      x86: remove NexGen support · f7f17a67
      Dmitri Vorobiev 提交于
      It is claimed that NexGen CPUs were never shipped:
      
         http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/4/20/179
      
      Also, the kernel support for these chips has been broken for
      a long time, the code intended to support NexGen thereby being
      essentially dead.
      
      As an outcome of the discussion that can be found using the URL
      above, this patch removes the NexGen support altogether.
      
      The changes in this patch survived a defconfig build for i386, a
      couple of successful randconfig builds, as well as a runtime test,
      which consisted in booting a 32-bit x86 box up to the shell prompt.
