Xen always runs on CPUs which properly support WP enforcement in privileged mode, so there's no need to test for it. This also works around a crash reported by Arnd Hannemann, though I think its just a band-aid for that case. Reported-by:

binutils prior to 2.17 can't deal with the currently possible situation of a new segment following the per-CPU segment, but that new segment being empty - objcopy misplaces the .bss (and perhaps also the .brk) sections outside of any segment. However, the current ordering of sections really just appears to be the effect of cumulative unrelated changes; re-ordering things allows to easily guarantee that the segment following the per-CPU one is non-empty, and at once eliminates the need for the bogus data.init2 segment. Once touching this code, also use the various data section helper macros from include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h. -v2: fix !SMP builds. Signed-off-by:

As noted in 83d349f3 ("x86: don't send an IPI to the empty set of CPU's"), some APIC's will be very unhappy with an empty destination mask. That commit added a WARN_ON() for that case, and avoided the resulting problem, but didn't fix the underlying reason for why those empty mask cases happened. This fixes that, by checking the result of 'cpumask_andnot()' of the current CPU actually has any other CPU's left in the set of CPU's to be sent a TLB flush, and not calling down to the IPI code if the mask is empty. The reason this started happening at all is that we started passing just the CPU mask pointers around in commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), and when we did that, the cpumask was no longer thread-local. Before that commit, flush_tlb_mm() used to create it's own copy of 'mm->cpu_vm_mask' and pass that copy down to the low-level flush routines after having tested that it was not empty. But after changing it to just pass down the CPU mask pointer, the lower level TLB flush routines would now get a pointer to that 'mm->cpu_vm_mask', and that could still change - and become empty - after the test due to other CPU's having flushed their own TLB's.

The default_send_IPI_mask_logical() function uses the "flat" APIC mode to send an IPI to a set of CPU's at once, but if that set happens to be empty, some older local APIC's will apparently be rather unhappy. So just warn if a caller gives us an empty mask, and ignore it. This fixes a regression in 2.6.30.x, due to commit 4595f962 ("x86: change flush_tlb_others to take a const struct cpumask"), documented here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13933 which causes a silent lock-up. It only seems to happen on PPro, P2, P3 and Athlon XP cores. Most developers sadly (or not so sadly, if you're a developer..) have more modern CPU's. Also, on x86-64 we don't use the flat APIC mode, so it would never trigger there even if the APIC didn't like sending an empty IPI mask. Reported-by:

Currently clockevents_notify() is called with interrupts enabled at some places and interrupts disabled at some other places. This results in a deadlock in this scenario. cpu A holds clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs enabled cpu B waits for clockevents_lock in clockevents_notify() with irqs disabled cpu C doing set_mtrr() which will try to rendezvous of all the cpus. This will result in C and A come to the rendezvous point and waiting for B. B is stuck forever waiting for the spinlock and thus not reaching the rendezvous point. Fix the clockevents code so that clockevents_lock is taken with interrupts disabled and thus avoid the above deadlock. Also call lapic_timer_propagate_broadcast() on the destination cpu so that we avoid calling smp_call_function() in the clockevents notifier chain. This issue left us wondering if we need to change the MTRR rendezvous logic to use stop machine logic (instead of smp_call_function) or add a check in spinlock debug code to see if there are other spinlocks which gets taken under both interrupts enabled/disabled conditions.

But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing, as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each 4k page).

The problem is caused by this detail in my config: # CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL is not set This disables the quirks in mce_cpu_quirks() but still enables MCE support - which then hangs due to the missing quirk workaround needed on this CPU: if (c->x86 == 6 && c->x86_model < 0x1A && banks > 0) mce_banks[0].init = 0; The safe solution is to not initialize MCEs if we dont know on what CPU we are running (or if that CPU's support code got disabled in the config). Also be a bit more defensive on 32-bit systems: dont do a boot-time dump of pending MCEs not just on the specific system that we found a problem with (Pentium-M), but earlier ones as well. Now this problem is probably not common and disabling CPU support is rare - but still being more defensive in something we turned on for a wide range of CPUs is prudent.

Currently, highmem is selectable, and you can request an increased vmalloc area. However, none of this has any effect on the memory layout since a patch in the highmem series was accidentally dropped. Moreover, even if you did want highmem, all memory would still be registered as lowmem, possibly resulting in overflow of the available virtual mapping space. The highmem boundary is determined by the highest allowed beginning of the vmalloc area, which depends on its configurable minimum size (see commit 60296c71 for details on this). We should create mappings and initialize bootmem only for low memory, while the zone allocator must still be told about highmem. Currently, memory nodes which are completely located in high memory are not supported. This is not a huge limitation since systems relying on highmem support are unlikely to have discontiguous memory with large holes. [ A similar patch was meant to be merged before commit 5f0fbf9e and be available in Linux v2.6.30, however some git rebase screw-up of mine dropped the first commit of the series, and that goofage escaped testing somehow as well. -- Nico ] Signed-off-by:

This patch updates the Solution Engine 7724 board code to use in-SoC KEYSC resources for the keyboard platform device. Using the in-SoC key scan controller fixes a crash-during-resume issue. Without this patch the KEYSC hardware block located in the board specific FPGA is used together with an external IRQ which is routed through the FPGA and handled by some board specific demux code. This board specific FPGA interrupt code does not implement desc->set_wake() so the enable_irq_wake() call in the sh_keysc driver will fail at suspend-to-ram time and the disable_irq_wake() will bomb out when resuming. Changing the platform data to use the in-SoC KEYSC hardware makes the se7724 board support code less special which is a good thing. Also, the board specific KEYSC pin setup code selects in-SoC pin functions already which makes the current FPGA platform device data look like a typo. Signed-off-by:

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 ...

Kernel is broken for x86 CPUs without CPUID since 2.6.28. It crashes with NULL pointer dereference in identify_cpu(): 766 generic_identify(c); 767 768--> if (this_cpu->c_identify) 769 this_cpu->c_identify(c); this_cpu is NULL. This is because it's only initialized in get_cpu_vendor() function, which is not called if the CPU has no CPUID instruction. Signed-off-by:

Between GCC version 3.4.0 and 4.3.3 (including 3.4.0 and 4.3.3), -mtune=merced is implemented in GCC. Starting from 4.4.0, -mtune=merced is deprecated. Even implemented in versions between 3.4.0 and 4.3.3, the -mtune=merced feature has been broken in some of the versions. For example, GCC 4.1.2 reports interanl tuning function errors during kernel building with -mtune=merced. Or GCC Bugzilla 16130 reports another -mtune=merced issue on GCC 3.4.1. So I would remove the -mtune=merced from IA64 kernel build. Without this option, kernel on Merced will remain the same except losing an unstable and out-of-date performance tunning feature. Since GCC version 3.4.0, -mtune=mckinley has been implemented. The -mtune=mckinley option functions the same as mtune=itanium2. And mtune=itanium2 is the default option. So we don't need to add mtune=mckinley either since its been the default option in any GCC version which implements this option. Signed-off-by:
