  • 44c10138f   PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revision ... Browse Code »
    88

    Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
    ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.

    This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
    for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
    read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.

    In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
    appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
    and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

    Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

  • 1ff100d76   [PATCH] correct slow acpi_pm rating ... Browse Code »

    On Bob's machine clocksource is selecting PIT over the ACPI PM timer,
    because he has the PIIX4 bug. That bug drops the ACPI PM timers rating
    to the same as the PIT, so that's why you're getting the PIT.

    Realistically, the PIT is much slower then even the triple read ACPI PM,
    so the de-ranking code is probably dropping it too far.

    So don't drop ACPI PM quite so low if we see the PIIX4 bug.

  • 6bb74df48   [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426) ... Browse Code »

    This patch resolves the issue found here:
    http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

    The basic summary is:
    Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
    time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
    causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
    calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
    where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
    jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
    the small sampling time used.

    It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
    function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
    resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
    discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
    time.

    Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
    the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
    selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

    This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
    clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
    timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
    boxes.

  • d66bea57e   [PATCH] Allow early access to the power management timer ... Browse Code »

    Allow early access to the power management timer by exposing the verified read
    function and providing a helper function which checks the pmtmr_ioport
    variable and returns either the pm timer readout or 0 in case the pm timer is
    not available.

    Create a new header file and replace also the ifdef'ed extern definition in
    arch/i386/kernel/acpi/boot.c

    This is a preperatory patch for the rework of the local apic timer
    calibration.

    No functional changes.

    This patch re-adds the verify_pmtmr_rate functionality from 2.6.17 that
    I dropped 2.6.18.

    This resolves problems seen on older K6 ASUS boards where the ACPI PM
    timer runs too fast.

    I have an acpi_pm that goes backwards, but it's not intel. I tested the
    verified read and my acpi_pm started to function properly. So I added it
    to the greylist. I'm assuming that's the right spot.

    I also added an unlikely() to the while, cause it seems appropriate.

    With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping

    The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.
