[PATCH] unwinder: always use unlocked module list access in unwinder fallback

We're already well protected against module unloads because module
unload uses stop_machine(). The only exception is NMIs, but other
users already risk lockless accesses here.

This avoids some hackery in lockdep and also a potential deadlock

[PATCH] x86-64: Mark rdtsc as sync only for netburst, not for core2

On the Core2 cpus, the rdtsc instruction is not serializing (as defined
in the architecture reference since rdtsc exists) and due to the deep
speculation of these cores, it's possible that you can observe time go
backwards between cores due to this speculation. Since the kernel
already deals with this with the SYNC_RDTSC flag, the solution is
simple, only assume that the instruction is serializing on family 15...

The price one pays for this is a slightly slower gettimeofday (by a
dozen or two cycles), but that increase is quite small to pay for a
really-going-forward tsc counter.

[PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code

Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.

While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
  is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
  might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
  physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
  startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value

[PATCH] i386: Implement CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN

o Now CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is being replaced with CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN.
  Hardcoding the kernel physical start value creates a problem in relocatable
  kernel context due to boot loader limitations. For ex, if somebody
  compiles a relocatable kernel to be run from address 4MB, but this kernel
  will run from location 1MB as grub loads the kernel at physical address
  1MB. Kernel thinks that I am a relocatable kernel and I should run from
  the address I have been loaded at. So somebody wanting to run kernel
  from 4MB alignment location (for improved performance regions) can't do
  that.

o Hence, Eric proposed that probably CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN will make
  more sense in relocatable kernel context. At run time kernel will move
  itself to a physical addr location which meets user specified alignment

[PATCH] i386: Reserve kernel memory starting from _text

Currently when we are reserving the memory the kernel text
resides in we start at __PHYSICAL_START which happens to be
correct but not very obvious.  In addition when we start relocating
the kernel __PHYSICAL_START is the wrong value, as it is an
absolute symbol that does not get relocated.

By starting the reservation at __pa_symbol(_text)
the code is clearer and will be correct when relocated.

[PATCH] i386: define __pa_symbol()

On x86_64 we have to be careful with calculating the physical
address of kernel symbols.  Both because of compiler odditities
and because the symbols live in a different range of the virtual
address space.

Having a defintition of __pa_symbol that works on both x86_64 and
i386 simplifies writing code that works for both x86_64 and
i386 that has these kinds of dependencies.

So this patch adds the trivial i386 __pa_symbol definition.

Added assembly magic similar to RELOC_HIDE as suggested by Andi Kleen.
Just picked it up from x86_64.

Vivek Goyal [Thu, 7 Dec 2006 01:14:03 +0000 (02:14 +0100)]
[PATCH] i386: Distinguish absolute symbols

Ld knows about 2 kinds of symbols,  absolute and section
relative.  Section relative symbols symbols change value
when a section is moved and absolute symbols do not.

Currently in the linker script we have several labels
marking the beginning and ending of sections that
are outside of sections, making them absolute symbols.
Having a mixture of absolute and section relative
symbols refereing to the same data is currently harmless
but it is confusing.

This must be done carefully as newer revs of ld do not place
symbols that appear in sections without data and instead
ld makes those symbols global :(

My ultimate goal is to build a relocatable kernel.  The
safest and least intrusive technique is to generate
relocation entries so the kernel can be relocated at load
time.  The only penalty would be an increase in the size
of the kernel binary.  The problem is that if absolute and
relocatable symbols are not properly specified absolute symbols
will be relocated or section relative symbols won't be, which
is fatal.

The practical motivation is that when generating kernels that
will run from a reserved area for analyzing what caused
a kernel panic, it is simpler if you don't need to hard code
the physical memory location they will run at, especially
for the distributions.

[AK: and merged:]

o Also put a message so that in future people can be aware of it and
  avoid introducing absolute symbols.

[PATCH] x86: Don't use nested idle loops

Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level
in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one.

Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers
because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute
exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle().

So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes
code.

In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer
now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem
ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways.
