      x86: Fix boot failures on older AMD CPU's · 8e8da023
      Linus Torvalds authored
      People with old AMD chips are getting hung boots, because commit
      bcb80e53 ("x86, microcode, AMD: Add microcode revision to
      /proc/cpuinfo") moved the microcode detection too early into
      "early_init_amd()".
      
      At that point we are *so* early in the booth that the exception tables
      haven't even been set up yet, so the whole
      
      	rdmsr_safe(MSR_AMD64_PATCH_LEVEL, &c->microcode, &dummy);
      
      doesn't actually work: if the rdmsr does a GP fault (due to non-existant
      MSR register on older CPU's), we can't fix it up yet, and the boot fails.
      
      Fix it by simply moving the code to a slightly later point in the boot
      (init_amd() instead of early_init_amd()), since the kernel itself
      doesn't even really care about the microcode patchlevel at this point
      (or really ever: it's made available to user space in /proc/cpuinfo, and
      updated if you do a microcode load).

      xen/pm_idle: Make pm_idle be default_idle under Xen. · e5fd47bf
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk authored
      The idea behind commit d91ee586 ("cpuidle: replace xen access to x86
      pm_idle and default_idle") was to have one call - disable_cpuidle()
      which would make pm_idle not be molested by other code.  It disallows
      cpuidle_idle_call to be set to pm_idle (which is excellent).
      
      But in the select_idle_routine() and idle_setup(), the pm_idle can still
      be set to either: amd_e400_idle, mwait_idle or default_idle.  This
      depends on some CPU flags (MWAIT) and in AMD case on the type of CPU.
      
      In case of mwait_idle we can hit some instances where the hypervisor
      (Amazon EC2 specifically) sets the MWAIT and we get:
      
        Brought up 2 CPUs
        invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP
      
        Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted 3.1.0-0.rc6.git0.3.fc16.x86_64 #1
        RIP: e030:[<ffffffff81015d1d>]  [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4
        ...
        Call Trace:
         [<ffffffff8100e2ed>] cpu_idle+0xae/0xe8
         [<ffffffff8149ee78>] cpu_bringup_and_idle+0xe/0x10
        RIP  [<ffffffff81015d1d>] mwait_idle+0x6f/0xb4
         RSP <ffff8801d28ddf10>
      
      In the case of amd_e400_idle we don't get so spectacular crashes, but we
      do end up making an MSR which is trapped in the hypervisor, and then
      follow it up with a yield hypercall.  Meaning we end up going to
      hypervisor twice instead of just once.
      
      The previous behavior before v3.0 was that pm_idle was set to
      default_idle regardless of select_idle_routine/idle_setup.
      
      We want to do that, but only for one specific case: Xen.  This patch
      does that.
      
      Fixes RH BZ #739499 and Ubuntu #881076

      ocfs2: avoid unaligned access to dqc_bitmap · 93925579
      Akinobu Mita authored
      The dqc_bitmap field of struct ocfs2_local_disk_chunk is 32-bit aligned,
      but not 64-bit aligned.  The dqc_bitmap is accessed by ocfs2_set_bit(),
      ocfs2_clear_bit(), ocfs2_test_bit(), or ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit().  These
      are wrapper macros for ext2_*_bit() which need to take an unsigned long
      aligned address (though some architectures are able to handle unaligned
      address correctly)
      
      So some 64bit architectures may not be able to access the dqc_bitmap
      correctly.
      
      This avoids such unaligned access by using another wrapper functions for
      ext2_*_bit().  The code is taken from fs/ext4/mballoc.c which also need to
      handle unaligned bitmap access.
