      PCI: defer enablement of SRIOV BARS · bbef98ab
      Ram Pai authored
      All the PCI BARs of a device are enabled when the device is enabled
      using pci_enable_device().  This unnecessarily enables SRIOV BARs of the
      device.
      
      On some platforms, which do not support SRIOV as yet, the
      pci_enable_device() fails to enable the device if its SRIOV BARs are not
      allocated resources correctly.
      
      The following patch fixes the above problem. The SRIOV BARs are now
      enabled when IOV capability of the device is enabled in sriov_enable().
      
      NOTE: Note, there is subtle change in the pci_enable_device() API.  Any
      driver that depends on SRIOV BARS to be enabled in pci_enable_device()
      can fail.
      
      The patch has been touch tested on power and x86 platform.

      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
