      x86: APIC: remove apic_write_around(); use alternatives · 593f4a78
      Maciej W. Rozycki 提交于
      Use alternatives to select the workaround for the 11AP Pentium erratum
      for the affected steppings on the fly rather than build time.  Remove the
      X86_GOOD_APIC configuration option and replace all the calls to
      apic_write_around() with plain apic_write(), protecting accesses to the
      ESR as appropriate due to the 3AP Pentium erratum.  Remove
      apic_read_around() and all its invocations altogether as not needed.
      Remove apic_write_atomic() and all its implementing backends.  The use of
      ASM_OUTPUT2() is not strictly needed for input constraints, but I have
      used it for readability's sake.
      
      I had the feeling no one else was brave enough to do it, so I went ahead
      and here it is.  Verified by checking the generated assembly and tested
      with both a 32-bit and a 64-bit configuration, also with the 11AP
      "feature" forced on and verified with gdb on /proc/kcore to work as
      expected (as an 11AP machines are quite hard to get hands on these days).
      Some script complained about the use of "volatile", but apic_write() needs
      it for the same reason and is effectively a replacement for writel(), so I
      have disregarded it.
      
      I am not sure what the policy wrt defconfig files is, they are generated
      and there is risk of a conflict resulting from an unrelated change, so I
      have left changes to them out.  The option will get removed from them at
      the next run.
      
      Some testing with machines other than mine will be needed to avoid some
      stupid mistake, but despite its volume, the change is not really that
      intrusive, so I am fairly confident that because it works for me, it will
      everywhere.

      [PATCH] convert i386 Summit subarch to use SRAT info for apicid_to_node calls · 3b08606d
      keith mannthey 提交于
      Convert the i386 summit subarch apicid_to_node to use node information
      provided by the SRAT.  It was discussed a little on LKML a few weeks ago
      and was seen as an acceptable fix.  The current way of obtaining the nodeid
      
       static inline int apicid_to_node(int logical_apicid)
       {
         return logical_apicid >> 5;
       }
      
      is just not correct for all summit systems/bios.  Assuming the apicid
      matches the Linux node number require a leap of faith that the bios mapped
      out the apicids a set way.  Modern summit HW (IBM x460) does not layout its
      bios in the manner for various reasons and is unable to boot i386 numa.
      
      The best way to get the correct apicid to node information is from the SRAT
      table during boot.  It lays out what apicid belongs to what node.  I use
      this information to create a table for use at run time.

      [PATCH] i386: Allow to use GENERICARCH for UP kernels · 874c4fe3
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      There are some machines around (large xSeries or Unisys ES7000) that
      need physical IO-APIC destination mode to access all of their IO
      devices. This currently doesn't work in UP kernels as used in
      distribution installers.
      
      This patch allows to compile even UP kernels as GENERICARCH which
      allows to use physical or clustered APIC mode.

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
