There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge. This covers in particular Nvidia and VIA chipsets. They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs. The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems. But this doesn't work there. Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source. This patch does that. The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice because it has some disadvantages. Ported over from i386. It should be faster than the i386 version because I dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be disabled.

The new TSC sync algorithm recently submitted did not work too well. The result was that some MP machines where the TSC came up of the BIOS very unsynchronized and that did not have HPET support were nearly unusable because the time would jump forwards and backwards between CPUs. After a lot of research ;-) and some more prototypes I ended up with just using the one from IA64 which looks best. It has some internal self tuning that should adapt to changing interconnect latencies. It holds up in my tests so far. I believe it was originally written by David Mosberger, I just ported it over to x86-64. See the inline comment for a description. This cleans up the code because it uses smp_call_function for syncing instead of having custom hooks in SMP bootup. Please note that the cycle numbers it outputs are too optimistic because they do not take into account the latency of WRMSR and RDTSC, which can be hundreds of cycles. It seems to be able to sync a dual Opteron to 200-300 cycles, which is probably good enough. There is a timing window during AP bootup where interrupts can see inconsistent time before the TSC is synced. It is hard to avoid unfortunately because we can only do the TSC sync after some setup, and we need to enable interrupts before that. I just ignored it for now. Signed-off-by:

Last round hopefully of cpu_core_id changes hopefully fow now: - Always initialize cpu_core_id for all CPUs, even when no dual core setup is detected. This prevents funny /proc/cpuinfo output - Do the same with phys_proc_id[] even when no HyperThreading - dito. - Use the CPU APIC-ID from CPUID 1 instead of the linux virtual CPU number to identify the core for AMD dual core setups.

ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel. If the "arg" argument refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev). This works on i386 because even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with put_user/get_user. That is not true for s390. In short the ioctl implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken. Signed-off-by:

[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block devices they are bound to. Unfortunately, they are using the wrong function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl(). ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl, redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space. This is, needless to say, a bad thing. This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning. The s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which was the first part of the problem. Secondly, the s390 kernel address space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail. I've reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side; returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.) The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems. It's based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has been tested on s390 at IBM. I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address space) and x86_64 (common address space). Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264. Signed-off-by:
