2006-09-26[PATCH] Split i386 and x86_64 ptrace.hJeff Dike
The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the x86 segment definitions. Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h. Thus, there is no net effect on i386. As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable in /usr/include. x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency. There was some trailing whitespace there, which is cleaned up.

2006-09-26[PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macrosDave McCracken
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the other hand, return the kernel virtual address. Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is simple to standardize their usage. Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

2006-09-26[PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmemkeith mannthey
Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :( My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be mapped below the initrd if present. I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa based systems.

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Refactor thermal throttle processingDmitriy Zavin
Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting) into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting of CPU thermal throttle events. After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user (p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit) the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinderJan Beulich
Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder. This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach the unwinder to decode this. For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick. It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore. This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16 unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame [AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description] Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386: Allow a kernel not to be in ring 0Rusty Russell
We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking privilege level (user vs kernel). This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used "get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in the code... 1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero. And: Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.) c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them. d.

The implementation comes from Zach's [RFC, PATCH 10/24] i386 Vmi descriptor changes: Descriptor and trap table cleanups.

Note that this allows the hypervisor to transparently tweak the DPL of the descriptors as well as the RPL of segments in those descriptors, with no unnecessary kernel code modification.

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386: Replace i386 open-coded cmdline parsing withRusty Russell
This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). The code was inconsistent with whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of these will get passed through the environment into init. This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable parts: 1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/ 2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use early_param(). [AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next x86-64 patch] 3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h 4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi). 5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL, except one where it has subtle humor value.

2006-09-26[PATCH] x86: Add portable getcpu callAndi Kleen
For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space. x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility. I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall. The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs portable I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow as needed.

In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).
