When I implemented the DECLARE_PER_CPU(var) macros, I was careful that people couldn't use "var" in a non-percpu context, by prepending percpu__. I never considered that this would allow them to overload the same name for a per-cpu and a non-percpu variable. It is only one of many horrors in the i386 boot code, but let's rename the non-perpcu cpu_gdt_descr to early_gdt_descr (not boot_gdt_descr, that's something else...) Signed-off-by:

The current code simply calls "start_kernel" directly if we're under a hypervisor and no paravirt_ops backend wants us, because paravirt.c registers that as a backend. This was always a vain hope; start_kernel won't get far without setup. It's also impossible for paravirt_ops backends which don't sit in the arch/i386/kernel directory: they can't link before paravirt.o anyway. Keep it simple: if we pass all the registered paravirt probes, BUG(). Signed-off-by:

The old Cyrix 5520 CPU detection code relied upon the PCI layer setup being done earlier than the CPU setup, which is no longer true. Fortunately we know that if the processor is a MediaGX we can do type 1 pci config accesses to check the companion chip. We thus do those directly and from this find the 5520 and implement the workarounds for the timer problem Original report from takada@mbf.nifty.com, I sent a proposed patch which Takara then corrected, tested and sent back to the list on 10th January. Submitting for merging as it seems to have been missed AK: Changed to use pci-direct.h and fix warning for !CONFIG_PCI (later AK: originally from akpm) Signed-off-by:

Just various new acronyms. The new popcnt bit is in the middle of Intel space. This looks a little weird, but I've been assured it's ok. Also I fixed RDTSCP for i386 which was at the wrong place. For i386 and x86-64. Signed-off-by: -

Occasionally the kernel has bugs that result in no irq being found for a given cpu vector. If we acknowledge the irq the system has a good chance of continuing even though we dropped an irq message. If we continue to simply print a message and not acknowledge the irq the system is likely to become non-responsive shortly there after. AK: Fixed compilation for UP kernels Signed-off-by:

I've seen my box paralyzed by an endless spew of rtc: lost some interrupts at 1024Hz. messages on the serial console. What seems to be happening is that something real causes an interrupt to be lost and triggers the message. But then printing the message to the serial console (from the hpet interrupt handler) takes more than 1/1024th of a second, and then some more interrupts are lost, so the message triggers again.... Fix this by adding a printk_ratelimit() before printing the warning. Signed-off-by:Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Signed-off-by:

On the Unisys ES7000/ONE system, we encountered a problem where performing a kexec reboot or dump on any cell other than cell 0 causes the system timer to stop working, resulting in a hang during timer calibration in the new kernel. We traced the problem to one line of code in disable_IO_APIC(), which needs to restore the timer's IO-APIC configuration before rebooting. The code is currently using the 4-bit physical destination field, rather than using the 8-bit logical destination field, and it cuts off the upper 4 bits of the timer's APIC ID. If we change this to use the logical destination field, the timer works and we can kexec on the upper cells. This was tested on two different cells (0 and 2) in an ES7000/ONE system. For reference, the relevant Intel xAPIC spec is kept at ftp://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/e8501/datashts/30962001.pdf, specifically on page 334. Signed-off-by:

During kernel bootup, a new T60 laptop (CoreDuo, 32-bit) hangs about 10%-20% of the time in acpi_init(): Calling initcall 0xc055ce1a: topology_init+0x0/0x2f() Calling initcall 0xc055d75e: mtrr_init_finialize+0x0/0x2c() Calling initcall 0xc05664f3: param_sysfs_init+0x0/0x175() Calling initcall 0xc014cb65: pm_sysrq_init+0x0/0x17() Calling initcall 0xc0569f99: init_bio+0x0/0xf4() Calling initcall 0xc056b865: genhd_device_init+0x0/0x50() Calling initcall 0xc056c4bd: fbmem_init+0x0/0x87() Calling initcall 0xc056dd74: acpi_init+0x0/0x1ee() It's a hard hang that not even an NMI could punch through! Frustratingly, adding printks or function tracing to the ACPI code made the hangs go away ... After some time an additional detail emerged: disabling the NMI watchdog made these occasional hangs go away. So i spent the better part of today trying to debug this and trying out various theories when i finally found the likely reason for the hang: if acpi_ns_initialize_devices() executes an _INI AML method and an NMI happens to hit that AML execution in the wrong moment, the machine would hang. (my theory is that this must be some sort of chipset setup method doing stores to chipset mmio registers?) Unfortunately given the characteristics of the hang it was sheer impossible to figure out which of the numerous AML methods is impacted by this problem. As a workaround i wrote an interface to disable chipset-based NMIs while executing _INI sections - and indeed this fixed the hang. I did a boot-loop of 100 separate reboots and none hung - while without the patch it would hang every 5-10 attempts. Out of caution i did not touch the nmi_watchdog=2 case (it's not related to the chipset anyway and didnt hang). I implemented this for both x86_64 and i686, tested the i686 laptop both with nmi_watchdog=1 [which triggered the hangs] and nmi_watchdog=2, and tested an Athlon64 box with the 64-bit kernel as well. Everything builds and works with the patch applied. Signed-off-by:

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:
