Allow to configure more CPUs and nodes. With clustered mode and AMD's big flat APIC mode there is no reason anymore to limit the max number of CPUs to 8. Increase the limit to 256 for now, which is the current APIC limit. Untested for now. Also increase the max number of nodes to 64. Remove the MAXNODE define and replace it with MAX_NUMNODES everywhere or the constant if the hardware limits the number of nodes. Also remove some obsolete comments. Signed-off-by:

Export phys_proc_id This is useful for the powernow-k8 driver which needs to know that two CPUs share a die. It cannot use cpu_sibling_map anymore, so this is an alternative. Signed-off-by:

Scheduler support for AMD CMP AMD dual core looks like HT but isn't really. Hide it from the scheduler. This works around problems with the domain scheduler. Also probably gives slightly better scheduling and disables SMT nice which is harmful on dual core. We still display it like HT in /proc/cpuinfo. This is to make it appear the same to license managers so that they count dual cores only as a single physical CPU. Signed-off-by:

Add SRAT NUMA discovery to x86-64. Previously the NUMA nodes on Opteron systems were directly read from the hardware registers of the northbridge. This version also supports reading it from the more generic ACPI SRAT table. This allows to support NUMA on all kinds of systems and in general gives more flexibility, but needs a bit of BIOS support. This implementation was not done before because the SRAT specification had a bad license from Microsoft that didn't allow to implement it on other OS. Now that ACPI 3.0 is released and SRAT is part of it that isn't a concern anymore. One side effect of this is that holes not described in SRAT (e.g. usually the 640K DOS and 4GB PCI memory holes) will not included in the nodes and won't get mem_map entries allocated. This may have side effects for some drivers. Some support for handling dual core AMD CPUs is included. SLIT parsing is done in a later patch. Depends on earlier patches to split up the ACPI boot parsing and to add better CMP support on x86-64. Can be disabled with numa=noacpi Signed-off-by:

Split ACPI boot table parsing Split ACPI boot table parsing into two parts. First a acpi_boot_table_init() call that initializes the basic ACPI table parsing machinery and discovers the RSDP, and then another call to actually parse the various boot tables. This is needed for a followon patch that implements SRAT support, because nodes need to be set up before the other ACPI tables can be parsed. On x86-64 I moved the early initialization very early because that is needed for the SRAT parser. On i386 it should be a nop. Signed-off-by:

Handle NX correctly in pageattr Second attempt to try to fix an long standing NX bug in change_page_attr. Hopefully this version will be better. The kernel text mapping aliases part of the physical memory and needs its caching attributes changed too. But when doing this one has to be very careful to handle the NX bit correctly. A previous slightly different version of this broke the X server on some RH systems. I hope this version will be better, but if you have X server problems please revert this one. Signed-off-by:

Remove duplicated FAKE_STACK_FRAME macro. FAKE_STACK_FRAME macro is defined twice. The one that gets used is in arch/x86_64/kernel/entry.S, and is slightly different codewise, although should have the same end result (uses pushq rather than addq %rsp + movq and has the extra dwarf annotations).

This patch exports to userspace the boot loader ID which has been exported by (b)zImage boot loaders since boot protocol version 2. It is needed so that update tools that update kernels from vendors know which bootloader file they need to update; eg right now those tools do all kinds of hairy heuristics to find out if it's grub or lilo or .. that installed the kernel. Those heuristics are fragile in the presence of more than one bootloader (which isn't that uncommon in OS upgrade situations). Tested on i386 and x86-64; as far as I know those are the only architectures which use zImage/bzImage format. Signed-Off-By:

This patch is for the following bug, thanks to Ondrej Zary for reporting, testing and submitting a patch. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3767 It appears that the Cyrix MII won't touch %ecx at all resulting in stale data being returned as extended attributes, so clear ecx before issuing the cpuid. I have also made the capability print code display all the capability words for easier debugging in future. Signed-off-by:

The setup.S data and code is not cleanly separated. The current space reserved for setup header is not enough to fit the complete header. As a result, part of the header (EDDBUF) will overwrite the initial code. I haven't seen any negative impact of this bug. As, by the time the setup code is overwritten, we would have finished executing it anyway. But, I think it is better to separate the header and code and prevent this data_overwriting_the_code condition. The atatched patch adds some space in the header to fit all the data listed in Documentation/i386/zero-page.txt for both i386 and x86_64 (and updates zero-page.txt). Signed-off-by:

Badari hit a problem when configuring PAE off (ie CONFIG_4G) where the pkmap area could end up overlapping the fixmap area. For some reason, PKMAP_BASE was defined statically, which seems rather pointless, and asking for trouble. Patch below definines it dynamically, under the fixmap area. The ordering of the VMALLOC_RESERVE space is: FIXADDR_TOP fixed_addresses FIXADDR_START temp fixed addresses FIXADDR_BOOT_START Persistent kmap area PKMAP_BASE VMALLOC_END Vmalloc area VMALLOC_START high_memory Signed-off-by:

Currently the ppc64 sysfs code registers an entry for each possible cpu in sysfs, rather than just online cpus. That makes sense, since the sysfs entries are needed to control onlining of the cpus. However, this is done even if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, or if it is not a hotplug capable (DLPAR) machine, which is a bit misleading. Secondly it also registers all the other sysfs entries (mostly performance monitoring controls) on all possible cpus, although they are quite meaningless on non-online cpus. This patch alters the code to only register sysfs directories at boot for cpus which are either online or could be onlined (cpu is possible, and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and an lpar machine). Furthermore, the entries apart from 'online' itself and 'physical_id' are only registered for online CPUs (and deregistered again if a cpu goes offline).

Kprobes (Kernel dynamic probes) is a lightweight mechanism for kernel modules to insert probes into a running kernel, without the need to modify the underlying source. The probe handlers can then be coded to log relevent data at the probe point. More information on kprobes can be found at: http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/linux/projects/kprobes/ Jprobes (or jumper probes) is a small infrastructure to access function arguments. It can be used by defining a small stub with the same template as the routine in kernel, within which the required parameters can be logged. Signed-off-by:

Documentation/powerpc/cpu_features.txt mysteriously disappeared sometime when 2.5 forked off. Searching through BK logs on linux.bkbits.net didn't reveal anything, unfortunately. The only reference I could pick up from searching the available lkml archives is the 2.4.20-pre11 ChangeLog where this was first merged. Thus far, nothing indicates it was intentionally removed, and AFAICS, is still up to date with the current code. Signed-off-by:
