Initialize FS and GS to __KERNEL_DS as well. The actual value of them is not
important, but it is important to reload them in protected mode. At this time,
they still retain the real mode values from initial boot. VT disallows
execution of code under such conditions, which means hardware virtualization
can not be used to boot the kernel on Intel platforms, making the boot time
painfully slow.This requires moving the GS load before the load of GS_BASE, so just move
all the segments loads there to keep them together in the code.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

mtrr: fix size_or_mask and size_and_mask
This fixes two bugs in /proc/mtrr interface:
o If physical address size crosses the 44 bit boundary
size_or_mask is evaluated wrong.
o size_and_mask limits width of physical base
address for an MTRR to be less than 44 bits.TBD: later patch had one more change, but I think that was bogus.
TBD: need to double checkSigned-off-by: Andreas Herrmann

When a machine check event is detected (including a AMD RevF threshold
overflow event) allow to run a "trigger" program. This allows user space
to react to such events sooner.The trigger is configured using a new trigger entry in the
machinecheck sysfs interface. It is currently shared between
all CPUs.I also fixed the AMD threshold handler to run the machine
check polling code immediately to actually log any events
that might have caused the threshold interrupt.Also added some documentation for the mce sysfs interface.

while debugging an unrelated problem in Xen, I noticed odd reads from
non-existent MSRs. Having now found time to look why these happen, I
came up with below patch, which
- prevents accessing MCi_MISCj with j > 0 when the block pointer in
MCi_MISC0 is zero
- accesses only contiguous MCi_MISCj until a non-implemented one is
found
- doesn't touch unimplemented blocks in mce_threshold_interrupt at all
- gives names to two bits previously derived from MASK_VALID_HI (it
took me some time to understand the code without this)The first three items, besides being apparently closer to the spec, should
namely help cutting down on the time mce_threshold_interrupt() takes.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

P6 CPUs and Core/Core 2 CPUs which has 'architectural perf mon' feature,

Bits 32..39 are sign extended based on bit 31 and bits 40..63 are reserved

This patch resolves the issue of running with numa=fake=X on kernel command
line on x86_64 machines that have big IO hole. While calculating the size
of each node now we look at the total hole size in that range.Previously there were nodes that only had IO holes in them causing kernel
boot problems. We now use the NODE_MIN_SIZE (64MB) as the minimum size of
memory that any node must have. We reduce the number of allocated nodes if
the number of nodes specified on kernel command line results in any node
getting memory smaller than NODE_MIN_SIZE.This change allows the extra memory to be incremented in NODE_MIN_SIZE
granule and uniformly distribute among as many nodes (called big nodes) as
possible.[akpm@osdl.org: build fix]

Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls
back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or
the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz.This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all
hardware. (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous
sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy
of jitter.)Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the
desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously
this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed. This makes
the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly
flag.Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop. You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop. The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction. Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode). The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.Signed-off-by: stephane eranian

o init() is a non __init function in .text section but it calls many
functions which are in .init.text section. Hence MODPOST generates lots
of cross reference warnings on i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=yWARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:smp_prepare_cpus from .text between 'init' (at offset 0xc0101049) and 'rest_init'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:migration_init from .text between 'init' (at offset 0xc010104e) and 'rest_init'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:spawn_ksoftirqd from .text between 'init' (at offset 0xc0101053) and 'rest_init'o This patch breaks down init() in two parts. One part which can go
in .init.text section and can be freed and other part which has to
be non __init(init_post()). Now init() calls init_post() and init_post()
does not call any functions present in .init sections. Hence getting
rid of warnings.Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal

Kprobes bugfix for paravirt compatibility - RPL on the CS when inserting
BPs must match running kernel.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden
Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen
CC: Eric Biederman -
Profile_pc was broken when using paravirtualization because the
assumption the kernel was running at CPL 0 was violated, causing
bad logic to read a random value off the stack.The only way to be in kernel lock functions is to be in kernel
code, so validate that assumption explicitly by checking the CS
value. We don't want to be fooled by BIOS / APM segments and
try to read those stacks, so only match KERNEL_CS.I moved some stuff in segment.h to make it prettier.

VMI timer code. It works by taking over the local APIC clock when APIC is
configured, which requires a couple hooks into the APIC code. The backend
timer code could be commonized into the timer infrastructure, but there are
some pieces missing (stolen time, in particular), and the exact semantics of
when to do accounting for NO_IDLE need to be shared between different
hypervisors as well. So for now, VMI timer is a separate module.[Adrian Bunk: cleanups]

Add VMI SMP boot hook. We emulate a regular boot sequence and use the same
APIC IPI initiation, we just poke magic values to load into the CPU state when
the startup IPI is received, rather than having to jump through a real mode
trampoline.This is all that was needed to get SMP to work.

I found a clever way to make the extra IOPL switching invisible to
non-paravirt compiles - since kernel_rpl is statically defined to be zero
there, and only non-zero rpl kernel have a problem restoring IOPL, as popf
does not restore IOPL flags unless run at CPL-0.Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden
