  • Currently we're hacking libs-y to include libgcc.a, but this has
    unforeseen consequences since the userspace libgcc is linked with fpregs
    enabled. We need the kernel to stop using fpregs in an uncontrolled manner
    to implement lazy fpu state saves.

  • Slab pages obtained via kmalloc are not cacheline aligned. Nor is it
    advisable to perform VM operations designed for page allocator pages on
    memory obtained via kmalloc.

    So replace the page sized allocations in kernel/pci-dma.c with page allocator
    pages.

  • make clean failed to delete a few files in
    x86/kernel. This is because kbuild does not
    see the correct/full kernel/Makefile.

    As a workaround until the Makefiles are merged specify
    the files to be deleted in the common Makefile.

  • I can't see the reason ". = VDSO_PRELINK + 0x900;" was ever there in
    the linker script for the x86_64 vDSO. I can't find anything that
    depends on this magic offset, or that should care at all about the
    particular location of of the .data section (all from vvar.c) in the
    vDSO image. If it is really desireable to place .data at 0x900, then it
    should be after all the other sections so they fill in the space up to
    0x900.

    This removes the 0x900 magic and cleans up the output sections generally
    in the vDSO linker script. This saves a few hundred bytes in the size
    of the vDSO file, bringing it back well under 4kb total so that its vma
    only needs one page.

  • Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.

    /proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
    the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.

    This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
    platforms, as appropriate:

    rescheduling interrupts
    TLB flush interrupts
    function call interrupts
    thermal event interrupts
    threshold interrupts
    spurious interrupts

    A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
    high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
    ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
    failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.

    Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
    exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
    when the temperature drops back to a normal level.

    A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
    device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
    the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
    the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.

    Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
    another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
    to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

    AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
    AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
    AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

  • Typically the oops first lines look like this:

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
    printing eip:
    c049dfbd
    *pde = 00000000
    Oops: 0002 [#1]
    PREEMPT SMP
    ...

    Such output is gained with some ugly if (!nl) printk("\n"); code and
    besides being a waste of lines, this is also annoying to read. The
    following output looks better (and it is how it looks on x86_64):

    BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000

  • Call cache_add_dev() from cache_sysfs_init() explicitly, instead of
    referencing the CPU notifier callback directly from generic startup

  • This adds a const to the definitions vvar.c makes, so that the vdso_*
    variables go into .rodata instead of .data. This is essentially a
    cosmetic change, just giving the section headers in the vDSO file more
    pleasing flags. These variables are read-only from the perspective of
    the vDSO itself and user mode, even though the contents of the DSO image
    were adjusted at boot.

  • In x86_64 and i386 architectures most arrays that are sized using
    NR_CPUS lay in local memory on node 0. Not only will most (99%?) of the
    systems not use all the slots in these arrays, particularly when NR_CPUS
    is increased to accommodate future very high cpu count systems, but a
    number of cache lines are passed unnecessarily on the system bus when
    these arrays are referenced by cpus on other nodes.

    Typically, the values in these arrays are referenced by the cpu
    accessing it's own values, though when passing IPI interrupts, the cpu
    does access the data relevant to the targeted cpu/node. Of course, if
    the referencing cpu is not on node 0, then the reference will still
    require cross node exchanges of cache lines. A common use of this is
    for an interrupt service routine to pass the interrupt to other cpus
    local to that node.

    Ideally, all the elements in these arrays should be moved to the per_cpu
    data area. In some cases (such as x86_cpu_to_apicid) the array is
    referenced before the per_cpu data areas are setup. In this case, a
    static array is declared in the __initdata area and initialized by the
    booting cpu (BSP). The values are then moved to the per_cpu area after
    it is initialized and the original static array is freed with the rest
    of the __initdata.

    This patch:

    Fix four instances where cpu_to_node is referenced by array instead of
    via the cpu_to_node macro. This is preparation to moving it to the
    per_cpu data area.
