1d64b9cb1d [PATCH] Fix microcode-related suspend problem
Fix the regression resulting from the recent change of suspend code
ordering that causes systems based on Intel x86 CPUs using the microcode
driver to hang during the resume.

The problem occurs since the microcode driver uses request_firmware() in
its CPU hotplug notifier, which is called after tasks has been frozen and
hangs.  It can be fixed by telling the microcode driver to use the
microcode stored in memory during the resume instead of trying to load it
from disk.

3556ddfa92 [PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
AMD dual core laptops with C1E do not run the APIC timer correctly
when they go idle. Previously the code assumed this only happened
on C2 or deeper.  But not all of these systems report support C2.

Use a AMD supplied snippet to detect C1E being enabled and then disable
local apic timer use.

This supercedes an earlier workaround using DMI detection of specific systems.

Thanks to Mark Langsdorf for the detection snippet.

d9a5c0a4e0 [PATCH] i386: Prevent early access to TSC to avoid crash on TSCless systems
commit f9690982b8 removed the check for
cpu_khz from sched_clock(), which prevented early access to the TSC by
non obvious magic.

This is harmless as long as the CPU has a TSC. On TSCless systems this
results in an illegal instruction trap.

Replace tsc_disabled and tsc_unstable by tsc_enabled, which is only set
when the tsc is available and not unstable.

It turned out that it is almost impossible to trust ACPI, BIOS & Co.

state. This keeps the default behaviour on the safe side.

latest -git triggers an irqtrace/lockdep warning of a leaked
irqs-off condition:

  BUG: at kernel/fork.c:1033 copy_process()

after some debugging it turns out that commit ca1b940c accidentally left

we fork a kernel thread and triggered the warning.

the fix is to re-enable interrupts in the 'else' branch of
setup_boot_APIC_clock()'s pmtimers calibration path.

ad62ca2bd8 [PATCH] i386: disable local apic timer via command line or dmi quirk
The local APIC timer stops to work in deeper C-States.  This is handled by
the ACPI code and a broadcast mechanism in the clockevents / tick managment
code.

Some systems do not expose the deeper C-States to the kernel, but switch
into deeper C-States behind the kernels back.  This delays the local apic
timer interrupts for ever and makes the systems unusable.

Add a command line option to disable the local apic timer and a dmi
quirk for known broken systems.

Andi sayeth:

  While not wrong by itself i think it is still better to use some heuristic
  -- like "has battery in ACPI" With the DMI table if the problem is more wide
  spread we will just continue extending it.

  But anyways should be ok now for .21 although I'm not really happy with
  it.

6b3964cde7 [PATCH] i386: clockevents fix breakage on Geode/Cyrix PIT implementations
The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT
is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode
(also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from
CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT
into one shot mode momentarily.

I realized after staring helpless at the bug report
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that
the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the
above transition during the PIT initialization.

Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode
fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness.

The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.

Note: this is unrelated to the Dual Core problem discussed here:

ca1b940ce6 [PATCH] i386: trust the PM-Timer calibration of the local APIC timer
When PM-Timer is available for local APIC timer calibration we can skip the
verification of the calibrated time value.  The resulting error is quite
small on a bunch of evaluated platforms and is less harming than the
observed false positives.

We need to keep the verification on systems, which have no PM-Timer to
avoid bogus local APIC timer calibrations in the range of factor 2-10,
which can be observed when swicthing off the PM-timer support in the kernel
configuration.

The wrong calibration values are probably caused by SMM code trying to
emulate a PS/2 keyboard from a (maybe connected or not) USB keyboard.  This
prohibits the accurate delivery of PIT interrupts, which are used to
calibrate the local APIC timer.  Unfortunately we have no way to disable
this BIOS misfeature in the early boot process.

Add also the dropped cpu_relax() back to the wait loops.

6bb74df481 [PATCH] clocksource init adjustments (fix bug #7426)
This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426

The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.

It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.

Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).

This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

been done.  Basically, we should never assume that the ROM implements a
specific set of functions, and always allow fallback to the native
implementation.

This is critical for future compatibility.

e30fab3ad3 [PATCH] vmi: pit override
The time_init_hook in paravirt-ops no longer functions in the correct manner
after the integration of the hrtimers code.  The problem is that now the call
path for time initialization is:

  time_init :
       late_time_init = hpet_time_init;

  late_time_init -> hpet_time_init:
       setup_pit_timer (BAD)
       do_time_init --> (via paravirt.h)
          time_init_hook --> (via arch_hooks.h)
              time_init_hook (in SUBARCH/setup.c)

If this isn't confusing enough, the paravirt case goes through an indirect
function pointer in the paravirt-ops table.  The problem is, by the time the
paravirt hook is called, the pit timer is already enabled.

But paravirt guests have their own timer, and don't want to use the PIT.
Rather than intensify the struggle for power going on here, just make it all
nice and simple and just unconditionally do all timer setup in the
late_time_init hook.  This also has the advantage of enabling timers in the
same place in all code paths, so everyone has the same bugs and we don't have
outliers who break other code because they turn on timer too early or too
late.

So the paravirt-ops time init function is now by default hpet_time_init, which
is the time init function used for native hardware.  Paravirt guests have the
chance to override this when they setup the paravirt-ops table, and should
need no change.

Not respecting udelay causes problems with any virtual hardware that is passed

keyboard LEDs, which should blink in real-time.  Or floppy drives, but only
when passed through to a real floppy controller on OSes which can't
sufficiently buffer the floppy commands to emulate a zero latency floppy.  Or
IDE drives, when connecting to a physical CDROM.

This was mostly a hack to get the kernel to boot faster, but it introduced a
number of misvirtualization bugs, and Alan and Pavel argued pretty strongly
against it.  We were the only client, and now want to clean up this cruft.

page tables.  This information is required so the physical address of PTE
updates can be determined; otherwise, the mm layer would have to carry the

more hideous that the macros required to provide the proper hooks.

So lets not mess up arch neutral code to achieve this, but keep the horror in
an #ifdef HIGHPTE in include/asm-i386/pgtable.h.  I had to use macros here
because some types are not yet defined in all the include paths for this
header.

This patch is absolutely required for HIGHPTE kernels to operate properly with

6cb9a8350a [PATCH] vmi: sched clock paravirt op fix
The custom_sched_clock hook is broken.  The result from sched_clock needs to
be in nanoseconds, not in CPU cycles.  The TSC is insufficient for this
purpose, because TSC is poorly defined in a virtual environment, and mostly
represents real world time instead of scheduled process time (which can be
interrupted without notice when a virtual machine is descheduled).

To make the scheduler consistent, we must expose a different nature of time,
that is scheduled time.  So deprecate this custom_sched_clock hack and turn it
into a paravirt-op, as it should have been all along.  This allows the tsc.c
code which converts cycles to nanoseconds to be shared by all paravirt-ops
backends.

It is unfortunate to add a new paravirt-op, but this is a very distinct
abstraction which is clearly different for all virtual machine
implementations, and it gets rid of an ugly indirect function which I
ashamedly admit I hacked in to try to get this to work earlier, and then even
got in the wrong units.

7507ba34e8 [PATCH] vmi: timer fixes round two
Critical bugfixes for the VMI-Timer code.

1) Do not setup a one shot alarm if we are keeping the periodic alarm
   armed.  Additionally, since the periodic alarm can be run at a lower rate
   than HZ, let's fixup the guard to the no-idle-hz mode appropriately.  This
   fixes the bug where the no-idle-hz mode might have a higher interrupt rate
   than the non-idle case.

2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock
   acquisition.  Drop this.  We don't need to check for wallclock time at
   every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.

3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation.  This is useful as a last
   minute workaround, or testing measure.

4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be
   conditional on IO_APIC, not SMP, since UP kernels can have this configured
   in as well.

2ff7354fe8 [PATCH] x86_64/i386 irq: Fix !CONFIG_SMP compilation
When removing set_native_irq I missed the fact that it was
called in a couple of places that were compiled even when
SMP support is disabled.  And since the irq_desc[].affinity
field only exists in SMP things broke.

Thanks to Simon Arlott <simon@arlott.org> for spotting this.

There are a couple of ways to fix this but the simplest one
is to just remove the assignments.  The affinity field is only
used to display a value to the user, and nothing on either i386
or x86_64 reads it or depends on it being any particlua value,
so skipping the assignment is safe.  The assignment that
is being removed is just for the initial affinity value before
the user explicitly sets it.  The irq_desc array initializes
this field to CPU_MASK_ALL so the field is initialized to
a reasonable value in the SMP case without being set.

221dee285e Revert "[CPUFREQ] constify cpufreq_driver where possible."
This reverts commit aeeddc1435, which was
half-baked and broken.  It just resulted in compile errors, since
cpufreq_register_driver() still changes the 'driver_data' by setting
bits in the flags field.  So claiming it is 'const' _really_ doesn't
work.

9f0a5ba550 [PATCH] irq: Remove set_native_irq_info
This patch replaces all instances of "set_native_irq_info(irq, mask)"
with "irq_desc[irq].affinity = mask".  The latter form is clearer
uses fewer abstractions, and makes access to this field uniform
accross different architectures.

This reverts commit 2ff2d3d747.

Uwe Bugla reports that he cannot mount a floppy drive any more, and Jiri
Slaby bisected it down to this commit.

Benjamin LaHaise also points out that this is a big hot-path, and that
interrupt delivery while idle is very common and should not go through
all these expensive gyrations.

Fix up conflicts in arch/i386/kernel/apic.c and arch/i386/kernel/irq.c
due to other unrelated irq changes.
