2010-05-06x86: Fix fake apicid to node mapping for numa emulationDavid Rientjes
With NUMA emulation, it's possible for a single cpu to be bound to multiple nodes since more than one may have affinity if allocated on a physical node that is local to the cpu. APIC ids must therefore be mapped to the lowest node ids to maintain generic kernel use of functions such as cpu_to_node() that determine device affinity. For example, if a device has proximity to physical node 1, for instance, and a cpu happens to be mapped to a higher emulated node id 8, the proximity may not be correctly determined by comparison in generic code even though the cpu may be truly local and allocated on physical node 1. When this happens, the true topology of the machine isn't accurately represented in the emulated environment; although this isn't critical to the system's uptime, any generic code that is NUMA aware benefits from the physical topology being accurately represented. This can affect any system that maps multiple APIC ids to a single node and is booted with numa=fake=N where N is greater than the number of physical nodes.

2010-05-06microblaze: Optimize CACHE_LOOP_LIMITS and CACHE_RANGE_LOOP macrosMichal Simek
1. Remove CACHE_ALL_LOOP2 macro because it is identical to CACHE_ALL_LOOP 2. Change BUG_ON to WARN_ON 3. Remove end aligned from CACHE_LOOP_LIMITS. C implementation do not need aligned end address and ASM code do aligned in their macros 4. ASM optimized CACHE_RANGE_LOOP_1/2 macros needs to get aligned end address. Because end address is compound from start + size, end address is the first address which is exclude. Here is the corresponding code which describe it. + int align = ~(line_length - 1); + end = ((end & align) == end) ? end - line_length : end & align; a) end is aligned: it is necessary to subtruct line length because we don't want to work with next cacheline b) end address is not aligned: Just align it to be ready for ASM code.

2010-04-30MIPS: Loongson 2F: Fix of problems introduced by -mfix-loongson2f-jumpWu Zhangjin
The -mfix-loongson2f-jump option provided by latest CVS binutils have fixed the out-of-order issue of Loongson-2F described in chapter 15 of the Loongson2F User Manual [1, 2], but introduced some problems. The option changes all of the jump target to "addr & 0xcfffffff" through the at($1) register, but for the reboot address of Loongson 2F 0xbfc00000 this is wrong. Avoids the problem via telling the assembler to not use the $at register.

2010-04-30MIPS: Loongson: Add CPU_LOONGSON2F_WORKAROUNDSWu Zhangjin
As documented in the Loongson 2F User Manual [2, 3], the old Loongson2F series (2F01 / 2F02) have the NOP & JUMP issues which requires workarounds in the kernel and binutils. This issue has been rectified in Loongson 2F series 2F03 so no workarounds needed. Now that the workarounds [1] adding the the -mfix-loongson2f-nop and -mfix-loongson2f-jump options have been comitted to the binutils the CVS repository), we can add the workarounds in the kernel. The workarounds have no significant side effect on the system but may decrease performance so we control them through a a new CPU_LOONGSON2F_WORKAROUNDS config option allowing the users to only enable it as necessary.
