1f858ef2fb [CPUFREQ] pcc-cpufreq: don't load driver if get_freq fails during init.
Return 0 on failure. This will cause the initialization of the driver
to fail and prevent the driver from loading if the BIOS cannot handle
the PCC interface command to "get frequency". Otherwise, the driver
will load and display a very high value like "4294967274" (which is
actually -EINVAL) for frequency:

# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
4294967274

a7bd1dafdc x86: Don't check for BIOS corruption in first 64K when there's no need to
Due to commit 781c5a67f1 it is
likely that the number of areas to scan for BIOS corruption is 0
 -- especially when the first 64K is already reserved
(X86_RESERVE_LOW is 64K by default).

If that's the case then don't set up the scan.

It appears that when powernow-k8 finds that

    Try again with latest BIOS.

 it fails the module load, but does not unregister the cpu_notifier that was
 registered in powernowk8_init

 This ends up leaving freed memory on the cpu notifier list for some other
 poor module (e.g. md/raid5) to come along and trip over.

 The following might be a partial fix, but I suspect there is probably other
 clean-up that is needed.

7f74f8f28a x86 quirk: Fix polarity for IRQ0 pin2 override on SB800 systems
On some SB800 systems polarity for IOAPIC pin2 is wrongly
specified as low active by BIOS. This caused system hangs after
resume from S3 when HPET was used in one-shot mode on such
systems because a timer interrupt was missed (HPET signal is
high active).

Need to adjust the clockevent device rating for the structure

Without this fix, APB timer rating will be higher than LAPIC
timer such that it can not be released later to be used as the

678301ecad x86, ioapic: Don't warn about non-existing IOAPICs if we have none
mp_find_ioapic() prints errors like:

    ERROR: Unable to locate IOAPIC for GSI 13

if it can't find the IOAPIC that manages that specific GSI. I
see errors like that at every boot of a laptop that apparently
doesn't have any IOAPICs.

But if there are no IOAPICs it doesn't seem to be an error that
none can be found. A solution that gets rid of this message is
to directly return if nr_ioapics (still) is zero. (But keep
returning -1 in that case, so nothing breaks from this change.)

The call chain that generates this error is:

pnpacpi_allocated_resource()
    case ACPI_RESOURCE_TYPE_IRQ:
        pnpacpi_parse_allocated_irqresource()

2fb270f321 x86: Fix section mismatch in LAPIC initialization
Additionally doing things conditionally upon smp_processor_id()
being zero is generally a bad idea, as this means CPU 0 cannot
be offlined and brought back online later again.

While there may be other places where this is done, I think adding
more of those should be avoided so that some day SMP can really
become "symmetrical".

We reserve lowmem for the things that need it, like the ACPI

Until we have a better solution, use an initcall to mark the

11d4c3f9b6 x86-32: Make sure the stack is set up before we use it
Since checkin ebba638ae7 we call
verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode.  Unfortunately, calling a function
means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in
the 32-bit setup code!  This code initializes the stack pointer, and
simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a
pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different
values for the segment register anyway.

This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical
address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants
the other way around...

f7448548a9 x86, mtrr: Avoid MTRR reprogramming on BP during boot on UP platforms
Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire
1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following
commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression.

	commit d0af9eed5a
	Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
	Date:   Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700

	    x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init

Because of the UP configuration of that platform,
native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check())
before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init()

Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the
delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with
mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot
processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the
start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this
shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the
reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via
set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are
different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual
write only if they are different.

BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and
typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it
on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So
on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's
happens and all is well.

However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed
mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we
double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR
registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up
reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of
the OS boot.

During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi
handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup.

We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the
commit d0af9eed5a, because only
the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP
had at the start of the OS boot.

Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before
continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if
any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot.

Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393

  [ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start
    of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to
    handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during
    suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values
    to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might
    be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ]

d038b12c6d perf: Fix Pentium4 raw event validation
This patch fixes some issues with raw event validation on
Pentium 4 (Netburst) based processors.

As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two
problems in the p4_validate_raw_event() function:

   - the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on
   - the binding to ESCR register was missing

The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded
correctly compared to generic PMU events.

With this patch, I can now pass Netburst events to libpfm4
examples and get meaningful results:

2e5aa6824d x86-64: Don't use pointer to out-of-scope variable in dump_trace()
In arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack_64.c::dump_trace() we have this code:

...
  		if (!stack) {
  			unsigned long dummy;
  			stack = &dummy;
  			if (task && task != current)
  				stack = (unsigned long *)task->thread.sp;
  		}

  		bp = stack_frame(task, regs);
  		/*
  		 * Print function call entries in all stacks, starting at the
  		 * current stack address. If the stacks consist of nested
  		 * exceptions
  		 */
  		tinfo = task_thread_info(task);

  		for (;;) {
  			char *id;
  			unsigned long *estack_end;
  			estack_end = in_exception_stack(cpu, (unsigned long)stack,
  							&used, &id);
...

You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable
'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later
access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the
'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a
variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper
fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

93789b32db x86, hotplug: Fix powersavings with offlined cores on AMD
ea53069231 made a CPU use monitor/mwait
when offline. This is not the optimal choice for AMD wrt to powersavings
and we'd prefer our cores to halt (i.e. enter C1) instead. For this, the
same selection whether to use monitor/mwait has to be used as when we
select the idle routine for the machine.

With this patch, offlining cores 1-5 on a X6 machine allows core0 to
boost again.

This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83 ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with
new binutils").

Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch.

The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an
arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies
variables.

Until that's done and tested on all architectures revert this commit to
solve the regression.

86b1e8dd83 x86: Make relocatable kernel work with new binutils
The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y option is broken with new binutils, which will make
boot panic.

According to Lu Hongjiu, the affected binutils are from 2.20.51.0.12 to
2.21.51.0.3, which are release since Oct 22 this year. At least ubuntu 10.10 is
using such binutils. See:

    http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12327

The reason of the boot panic is that we have 'jiffies = jiffies_64;' in
vmlinux.lds.S. The jiffies isn't in any section. In kernel build, there is
warning saying jiffies is an absolute address and can't be relocatable. At
runtime, jiffies will have virtual address 0.

Offlining the secondary CPU causes the timer irq affinity to be set to

affinity will be used.

This patch ensures secondary per CPU timer always has the correct

62627bec8a x86: tsc: Fix calibration refinement conditionals to avoid divide by zero
Konrad Wilk reported that the new delayed calibration crashes with a
divide by zero on Xen. The reason is that Xen sets the pmtimer
address, but reading from it returns 0xffffff. That results in the
ref_start and ref_stop value being the same, so the delta is zero
which causes the divide by zero later in the calculation.

The conditional (!hpet && !ref_start && !ref_stop) which sanity checks
the calibration reference values doesn't really make sense. If the
refs are null, but hpet is on, we still want to break out.

The div by zero would be possible to trigger by chance if both reads
from the hardware provided the exact same value (due to hardware
wrapping).

So checking if both the ref values are the same should handle if we
don't have hardware (both null) or if they are the same value (either by
invalid hardware, or by chance), avoiding the div by zero issue.

[ tglx: Applied the same fix to native_calibrate_tsc() where this
  	check was copied from ]

d0a21265df mm: unify module_alloc code for vmalloc
Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for
module_init().  Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a
globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range().

__vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of
[VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior.

Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove
the duplication of code.

f77cfe4ea2 cpuidle/x86/perf: fix power:cpu_idle double end events and throw cpu_idle events from the cpuidle layer
Currently intel_idle and acpi_idle driver show double cpu_idle "exit idle"
events -> this patch fixes it and makes cpu_idle events throwing less complex.

It also introduces cpu_idle events for all architectures which use
the cpuidle subsystem, namely:
  - arch/arm/mach-at91/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-davinci/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/cpuidle.c
  - arch/arm/mach-omap2/cpuidle34xx.c
  - arch/drivers/acpi/processor_idle.c (for all cases, not only mwait)
  - arch/x86/kernel/process.c (did throw events before, but was a mess)
  - drivers/idle/intel_idle.c (did throw events before)

Convention should be:
Fire cpu_idle events inside the current pm_idle function (not somewhere
down the the callee tree) to keep things easy.

Current possible pm_idle functions in X86:
c1e_idle, poll_idle, cpuidle_idle_call, mwait_idle, default_idle
-> this is really easy is now.

This affects userspace:
The type field of the cpu_idle power event can now direclty get
mapped to:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/cpuidle/stateX/{name,desc,usage,time,...}
instead of throwing very CPU/mwait specific values.
This change is not visible for the intel_idle driver.
For the acpi_idle driver it should only be visible if the vendor
misses out C-states in his BIOS.
Another (perf timechart) patch reads out cpuidle info of cpu_idle
events from:
/sys/.../cpuidle/stateX/*, then the cpuidle events are mapped
to the correct C-/cpuidle state again, even if e.g. vendors miss
out C-states in their BIOS and for example only export C1 and C3.
-> everything is fine.

d18960494f ACPI, intel_idle: Cleanup idle= internal variables
Having four variables for the same thing:
  idle_halt, idle_nomwait, force_mwait and boot_option_idle_overrides
is rather confusing and unnecessary complex.

if idle= boot param is passed, only set up one variable:
boot_option_idle_overrides

Introduces following functional changes/fixes:
  - intel_idle driver does not register if any idle=xy
    boot param is passed.
  - processor_idle.c will also not register a cpuidle driver
    and get active if idle=halt is passed.
    Before a cpuidle driver with one (C1, halt) state got registered
    Now the default_idle function will be used which finally uses
    the same idle call to enter sleep state (safe_halt()), but
    without registering a whole cpuidle driver.

That means idle= param will always avoid cpuidle drivers to register
with one exception (same behavior as before):
idle=nomwait
may still register acpi_idle cpuidle driver, but C1 will not use
mwait, but hlt. This can be a workaround for IO based deeper sleep
states where C1 mwait causes problems.

e5c3014282 KVM: Initialize fpu state in preemptible context
init_fpu() (which is indirectly called by the fpu switching code) assumes
it is in process context.  Rather than makeing init_fpu() use an atomic
allocation, which can cause a task to be killed, make sure the fpu is
already initialized when we enter the run loop.
