David Witbrodt tracked down (and bisected) a hpet bootup hang on his system to the following problem: a BIOS bug made the hpet device visible as a generic PCI device. If e820 reserved entries happen to be registered first in the resource tree [which v2.6.26 started doing], then the PCI code will reallocate that device's BAR to some other address - breaking timer IRQs and hanging the system. ( Normally hpet devices are hidden by the BIOS from the OS's PCI discovery via chipset magic. Sometimes the hpet is not a PCI device at all. ) Solve this fundamental fragility by making non-PCI platform drivers insert resources into the resource tree even if it overlaps the e820 reserved entry, to keep the resource manager from updating the BAR. Also do these checks for the ioapic and mmconfig addresses, and emit a warning if this happens.

Impact: crash on non-TSC-equipped CPUs Don't enable the TSC notifier if we *either*: 1. don't have a CPU, or 2. have a CPU with constant TSC. In either of those cases, the notifier is either damaging (1) or useless(2). From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

During CPU hot-remove the sysfs directory created by threshold_create_bank(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_amd_64.c, has to be removed before its parent directory, created by mce_create_device(), defined in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce_64.c . Moreover, when the CPU in question is hotplugged again, obviously the latter has to be created before the former. At present, the right ordering is not enforced, because all of these operations are carried out by CPU hotplug notifiers which are not appropriately ordered with respect to each other. This leads to serious problems on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs, among other things during suspend and hibernation. Fix the problem by placing threshold bank CPU hotplug callbacks in mce_cpu_callback(), so that they are invoked at the right places, if defined. Additionally, use kobject_del() to remove the sysfs directory associated with the kobject created by kobject_create_and_add() in threshold_create_bank(), to prevent the kernel from crashing during CPU hotplug operations on systems with two or more multicore AMD CPUs.

Until now, PCI ECS setup was performed at boot time only and for cpus that are enabled then. This patch fixes this and adds cpu hotplug.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuinit.text+0x3cc4): Section mismatch in reference from the function uv_cpu_init() to the function .init.text:uv_system_init() The function __cpuinit uv_cpu_init() references a function __init uv_system_init(). If uv_system_init is only used by uv_cpu_init then annotate uv_system_init with a matching annotation. uv_system_init was ment to be called only once, so do it from codepath (native_smp_prepare_cpus) which is called once, right before activation of other cpus (smp_init). Note: old code relied on uv_node_to_blade being initialized to 0, but it'a not initialized from anywhere.

While I don't have a hotplug capable system at hand, I think two issues need fixing: - pud_phys (in kernel_physical_ampping_init()) would remain uninitialized in the after_bootmem case - the locking done just around phys_pmd_{init,update}() would leave out pgd updates, and it was needlessly covering code portions that do allocations (perhaps using a more friendly gfp value in alloc_low_page() would then be possible) Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Joshua Hoblitt reported that only 3 GB of his 16 GB of RAM is usable. Booting with mtrr_show showed us the BIOS-initialized MTRR settings - which are all wrong.

All kernel mappings like ioremap(), etc uses UC_MINUS as the type. /dev/mem mappings with /dev/mem being opened with O_SYNC however was using UC, resulting in a conflict with /dev/mem mmap failing. This seems to be affecting some apps (one being flashrom) which are using O_SYNC and which were working before. Switch /dev/mem with O_SYNC also to UC_MINUS.

The UV TLB shootdown mechanism needs a system interrupt vector. Its vector had been hardcoded as 200, but needs to moved to the reserved system vector range so that it does not collide with some device vector. This is still temporary until dynamic system IRQ allocation is provided. But it will be needed when real UV hardware becomes available and runs 2.6.27.

Cyrix MediaGXm/Cx5530 Unicorn Revision 1.19.3B has stopped booting starting at v2.6.22. The reason is this commit: > commit f25f64ed > Author: Juergen Beisert <juergen@kreuzholzen.de> > Date: Sun Jul 22 11:12:38 2007 +0200 > > x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions. this commit activated a macro which was dormant before due to (buggy) macro side-effects. I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV Geode processors don't have an incrementor. Remove the incrementor setup entirely. As the incrementor value differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS configures it correctly, it is probably the right solution.
