  • 28ff4ef71   lguest: remove unneeded zlib.h include in example launcher ... Browse Code »

    Two years ago 5bbf89fc2608 removed the horrible bzImage unpacking code.
    Now it's time to remove the unneeded zlib.h include, too.

  • 7bc5e3f2b   x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machines ... Browse Code »

    The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that
    we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges,
    e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183

    Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge,
    e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681

    Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on
    "pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

    It did mention autoconfigured in the text, but the below makes it more obvious.

    More clearly document IPv6 max_addresses parameter.

  • c39fae141   PCI PM: Make it possible to force using INTx for PCIe PME signaling ... Browse Code »

    Apparently, some machines may have problems with PCI run-time power
    management if MSIs are used for the native PCIe PME signaling. In
    particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not
    generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if
    the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to
    this port. [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and
    request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling
    the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.] However, if INTx
    interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything
    works just fine.

    For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to
    request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling,
    introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need
    this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this
    table.

  • c7f486567   PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver ... Browse Code »

    PCIe native PME detection mechanism is based on interrupts generated
    by root ports or event collectors every time a PCIe device sends a
    PME message upstream.

    Once a PME message has been sent by an endpoint device and received
    by its root port (or event collector in the case of root complex
    integrated endpoints), the Requester ID from the message header is
    registered in the root port's Root Status register. At the same
    time, the PME Status bit of the Root Status register is set to
    indicate that there's a PME to handle. If PCIe PME interrupt is
    enabled for the root port, it generates an interrupt once the PME
    Status has been set. After receiving the interrupt, the kernel can
    identify the PCIe device that generated the PME using the Requester
    ID from the root port's Root Status register. [For details, see PCI
    Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.0.]

    Implement a driver for the PCIe PME root port service working in
    accordance with the above description.

    Based on a patch from Shaohua Li .

  • d944d549a   ARM: allow alignment fault mode to be configured at kernel boot ... Browse Code »

    Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
    their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
    boot. This can prevent systems booting properly.

    There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
    default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
    booted.

    So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
    the kernel command line.

    With the movement of the ima hooks functions were renamed from *path* to
    *file* since they always deal with struct file. This patch renames some of
    the ima internal flags to make them consistent with the rest of the code.
