As discovered recently some systems exhibit problems when the 8254 timer IRQ is routed through the I/O APIC. These problems do not affect the timer IRQ itself and therefore cannot be detected when the correctness of operation of the interrupt is verified in check_timer(). Therefore the I/O APIC path of the timer IRQ has to be disabled entirely. This is a change that lets platforms ask for the timer IRQ not to be registered in the I/O APIC interrupt tables. The local APIC and ExtINTA paths are unaffected. This request is only taken into account for ACPI platforms as MP table systems seem unaffected so far. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Huang, Ying authored
Because of the size limits of struct boot_params (zero page), the maximum number of E820 memory map entries can be passed to kernel is 128. As pointed by Paul Jackson, there is some machine produced by SGI with so many nodes that the number of E820 memory map entries is more than 128. To enabling Linux kernel on these system, a new setup data type named SETUP_E820_EXT is defined to pass additional memory map entries to Linux kernel. This patch is based on x86/auto-latest branch of git-x86 tree and has been tested on x86_64 and i386 platform.

This patch uses reserve_bootmem_generic() instead of reserve_bootmem() to reserve the crashkernel memory on x86_64. That's necessary for NUMA machines, see 00212fef: [PATCH] Fix kdump Crash Kernel boot memory reservation for NUMA machines This patch will fix a boot memory reservation bug that trashes memory on the ES7000 when loading the kdump crash kernel. The code in arch/x86_64/kernel/setup.c to reserve boot memory for the crash kernel uses the non-numa aware "reserve_bootmem" function instead of the NUMA aware "reserve_bootmem_generic". I checked to make sure that no other function was using "reserve_bootmem" and found none, except the ones that had NUMA ifdef'ed out. I have tested this patch only on an ES7000 with NUMA on and off (numa=off) in a single (non-NUMA) and multi-cell (NUMA) configurations.

This patch adds a 'flags' parameter to reserve_bootmem_generic() like it already has been added in reserve_bootmem() with commit 72a7fe39. It also changes all users to use BOOTMEM_DEFAULT, which doesn't effectively change the behaviour. Since the change is x86-specific, I don't think it's necessary to add a new API for migration. There are only 4 users of that function. The change is necessary for the next patch, using reserve_bootmem_generic() for crashkernel reservation.

The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary. For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

This reverts commit e8721549. Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data() when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236 for an analysis. The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things work for him again.

The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked. In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted. However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service (i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set) The issue with this is that when the currently executing interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted, but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled, no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is not re-injected. This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an 8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying" changes.

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey: - initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as advertised - initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in pagemap_pte_hole() - unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't have permissions) - pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one looks unneeded. - avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.
