    This follows on from the patch applied in 3.2rc1 which creates
    an INTEL_MID configuration. We can now add the entry for
    Medfield specific code. After this is merged the final patch
    will be submitted which moves the rest of the device Kconfig
    dependancies to MRST/MEDFIELD/INTEL_MID as appropriate.

  • 99e8b9ca9   x86, NMI: Add NMI IPI selftest ... Browse Code »

    The previous patch modified the stop cpus path to use NMI
    instead of IRQ as the way to communicate to the other cpus to
    shutdown. There were some concerns that various machines may
    have problems with using an NMI IPI.

    This patch creates a selftest to check if NMI is working at
    boot. The idea is to help catch any issues before the machine
    panics and we learn the hard way.

    Loosely based on the locking-selftest.c file, this separate file
    runs a couple of simple tests and reports the results. The
    output looks like:

    ...
    Brought up 4 CPUs
    ----------------
    | NMI testsuite:
    --------------------
    remote IPI: ok |
    local IPI: ok |
    --------------------
    Good, all 2 testcases passed! |
    ---------------------------------
    Total of 4 processors activated (21330.61 BogoMIPS).

  • 37fe6a42b   x86: Check stack overflow in detail ... Browse Code »

    Currently, only kernel stack is checked for the overflow, which
    is not sufficient for systems that need a high reliability. To
    enhance it, it is required to check the IRQ and exception
    stacks, as well.

    This patch checks all the stack types and will cause messages of
    stacks in detail when free stack space drops below a certain
    limit except user stack.

    There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
    Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
    caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the

    Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
    they were part of.

  • 5ca43f6c3   lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE option ... Browse Code »

    Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it
    to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This
    obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is
    already used in generic code.

    It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by
    keeping the most inclusive wording.

  • 6a108a14f   kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT ... Browse Code »

    The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
    is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
    only small devices.

    This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
    references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
    option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
    can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
    considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

    Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
    expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
    are making should enable it.

  • 84e1c6bb3   x86: Add RO/NX protection for loadable kernel modules ... Browse Code »

    This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by
    CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by
    splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts
    each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each
    individual section:

    1. Code: RO+X
    2. RO data: RO+NX
    3. RW data: RW+NX

    In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have
    been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above
    onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access
    permissions are set right before successful exit from
    load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have
    been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right
    before calling module_free().

    By default, the original section layout and access flags are
    preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y,
    the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that
    each page contains only one type of content and will enforce
    RO/NX for each group of pages.

    -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch.
    -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs
    and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also
    been corrected.
    -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section
    page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
    -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style.
    -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation
    -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only
    -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added
    calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro()
    in ftrace
    -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5
    -v9: coding style fixes
    -v10: more coding style fixes

  • c20b5c331   x86, earlyprintk: Add earlyprintk for Intel Moorestown platform ... Browse Code »

    Intel Moorestown platform has a spi-uart device(Maxim3110),
    which connects to a Designware spi core controller. This patch
    will add early console function based on it.

    As it will be used long before Linux spi subsystem get
    initialised, we simply directly manipulate the spi controller's
    register to acheive the early console func. This is safe as it
    will be disabled when devices subsytem get initialised.

    To use it, user need enable CONFIG_X86_MRST_EARLY_PRINTK in
    kenrel config and add "earlyprintk=mrst" in kernel command line.

    Enable irq stacks also for the default 8k stack on 32-bit kernels to

    This is what the 64-bit kernel and various other architectures already do.

  • faa4602e4   x86, perf, bts, mm: Delete the never used BTS-ptrace code ... Browse Code »
    43

    Support for the PMU's BTS features has been upstreamed in
    v2.6.32, but we still have the old and disabled ptrace-BTS,
    as Linus noticed it not so long ago.

    It's buggy: TIF_DEBUGCTLMSR is trampling all over that MSR without
    regard for other uses (perf) and doesn't provide the flexibility
    needed for perf either.

    Its users are ptrace-block-step and ptrace-bts, since ptrace-bts
    was never used and ptrace-block-step can be implemented using a
    much simpler approach.

    So axe all 3000 lines of it. That includes the *locked_memory*()
    APIs in mm/mlock.c as well.

  • ad8f4356a   x86: Don't use the strict copy checks when branch profiling is in use ... Browse Code »

    The branch profiling creates very complex code for each if
    statement, to the point that gcc has trouble even analyzing
    something as simple as

    if (count > 5)
    count = 5;

    This then means that causing an error on code that gcc cannot
    analyze for copy_from_user() and co is not very productive.

    This patch excludes the strict copy checks in the case of branch
    profiling being enabled.

    IOMMU_LEAK, GART's own feature, dumps the used IOMMU entries when

    DMA_API_DEBUG provides the similar feature, debug_dma_dump_mappings,
    and it's better than GART's IOMMU_LEAK feature. GART's IOMMU_LEAK
    feature doesn't say who uses IOMMU entries so it's hard to find a bad
    driver.

    CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
    s390. This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
    filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
    verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

    This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
    invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
    invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

    configuration system. They were present only for x86 and x86_64.

    Other tracers that use the ftrace tracing framework are in their own
    sub-menu. This patch moves the mmiotrace configuration options there.
    Since the Kconfig file, where the tracer menu is, is not architecture
    specific, HAVE_MMIOTRACE_SUPPORT is introduced and provided only by
    x86/x86_64. CONFIG_MMIOTRACE now depends on it.

  • 3e5095d15   x86: replace CONFIG_X86_SMP with CONFIG_SMP ... Browse Code »

    The x86/Voyager subarch used to have this distinction between
    'x86 SMP support' and 'Voyager SMP support':

    config X86_SMP
    bool
    depends on SMP && ((X86_32 && !X86_VOYAGER) || X86_64)

    This is a pointless distinction - Voyager can (and already does) use
    smp_ops to implement various SMP quirks it has - and it can be extended
    more to cover all the specialities of Voyager.

    So remove this complication in the Kconfig space.

  • 63fb70859   x86: change OPTIMIZE_INLINING help to say enabling makes smaller kernels ... Browse Code »

    Impact: clarify Kconfig help text

    The OPTIMIZE_INLINING help currently says "The gcc 4.x series have a
    rewritten inlining algorithm and disabling this option will generate a
    smaller kernel there."

    This contradicts other parts of the help text and my own tests:

    5463127 2008-10-11 19:51 vmlinux.no-opt
    5456152 2008-10-11 19:56 vmlinux.opt

    Reword text to say that enabling OPTIMIZE_INLINING will lead to smaller
    kernels with gcc 4.x or later.
