17 years agox86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86"

x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86"

For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel

    $ uname -m
    x86

On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information

    $ uname -m
    x66

This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.

This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

[MIPS] 64-bit Sibyte kernels need DMA32.

Sibyte SOCs only have 32-bit PCI.  Due to the sparse use of the address
space only the first 1GB of memory is mapped at physical addresses
below 1GB.  If a system has more than 1GB of memory 32-bit DMA will
not be able to reach all of it.

For now this patch is good enough to keep Sibyte users happy but it seems
eventually something like swiotlb will be needed for Sibyte.

Ralf Baechle [Wed, 21 Nov 2007 16:39:44 +0000 (16:39 +0000)]
[MIPS] Handle R4000/R4400 mfc0 from count register.

The R4000 and R4400 have an errata where if the cp0 count register is read
in the exact moment when it matches the compare register no interrupt will
be generated.

This bug may be triggered if the cp0 count register is being used as
clocksource and the compare interrupt as clockevent.  So a simple
workaround is to avoid using the compare for both facilities on the
affected CPUs.

This is different from the workaround suggested in the old errata documents;
at some opportunity probably the official version should be implemented
and tested.  Another thing to find out is which processor versions
exactly are affected.  I only have errata documents upto R4400 V3.0
available so for the moment the code treats all R4000 and R4400 as broken.

This is potencially a problem for some machines that have no other decent
clocksource available; this workaround will cause them to fall back to
another clocksource, worst case the "jiffies" source.

The branch at the end of the fixup code, it goes back to the SC
instruction, no matter if the fault was first taken by the LL or SC
instruction resulting in an endless loop which will only terminate if
the address become valid again due to another thread setting up an
accessible mapping and the CPU happens to execute the SC instruction
successfully which due to the preceeding ERET instruction of the fault
handler would only happen if UNPREDICTABLE instruction behaviour of the
SC instruction without a preceeding LL happens to favor that outcome.
But normally processes are nice, pass valid arguments and we were just
getting away with this.

[MIPS] Fix context DSP context / TLS pointer switching bug for new threads.

A new born thread starts execution not in schedule but rather in
ret_from_fork which results in it bypassing the part of the code to
load a new context written in C which are the DSP context and the
userlocal register which Linux uses for the TLS pointer.  Frequently
we were just getting away with this bug for a number of reasons:

 o Real world application scenarios are very unlikely to use clone or fork
   in blocks of DSP code.
 o Linux by default runs the child process right after the fork, so the
   child by luck will find all the right context in the DSP and userlocal
   registers.
 o So far the rdhwr instruction was emulated on all hardware so userlocal
   wasn't getting referenced at all and the emulation wasn't suffering
   from the issue since it gets it's value straight from the thread's
   thread_info.

Fixed by moving the code to load the context from switch_to() to
finish_arch_switch which will be called by newborn and old threads.

[POWERPC] Fix multiple bugs in rtas_ibm_suspend_me code

There are several issues with the rtas_ibm_suspend_me code, which
enables platform-assisted suspension of an LPAR as covered in PAPR
2.2.

1.) rtas_ibm_suspend_me uses on_each_cpu() to invoke
rtas_percpu_suspend_me on all cpus via IPI:

if (on_each_cpu(rtas_percpu_suspend_me, &data, 1, 0))
...

'data' is on the calling task's stack, but rtas_ibm_suspend_me takes
no measures to ensure that all instances of rtas_percpu_suspend_me are
finished accessing 'data' before returning.  This can result in the
IPI'd cpus accessing random stack data and getting stuck in H_JOIN.

This is addressed by using an atomic count of workers and a completion
on the stack.

2.) rtas_percpu_suspend_me is needlessly calling H_JOIN in a loop.
The only event that can cause a cpu to return from H_JOIN is an H_PROD
from another cpu or a NMI/system reset.  Each cpu need call H_JOIN
only once per suspend operation.

Remove the loop and the now unnecessary 'waiting' state variable.

3.) H_JOIN must be called with MSR[EE] off, but lazy interrupt
disabling may cause the caller of rtas_ibm_suspend_me to call H_JOIN
with it on; the local_irq_disable() in on_each_cpu() is not
sufficient.

Fix this by explicitly saving the MSR and clearing the EE bit before
calling H_JOIN.

4.) H_PROD is being called with the Linux logical cpu number as the
parameter, not the platform interrupt server value.  (It's also being

Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
all.config.

For a fix the diffstat is nice:
 6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)

The patch reverts these commits:
 - 0f855aa64b3f63d35a891510cf7db932a435c116 ("kconfig: add helper to set
   config symbol from environment variable")

   set 64BIT with all*config targets")

Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
not needed.

With this patch we have following behaviour:

  # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
  option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit

  ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
  ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit

The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
precedence over the configuration.

So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
no matter what the configuration says.  The configuration will
be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
other way around.

This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
suprises here.

make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
and 64-bit using menuconfig.

x86: fix reboot with no keyboard attached

Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378

Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached.  My first
patch works for him:

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538

But the latest patch does not work for him :

  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51

We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
the command byte, as the first patch was doing.  The second patch tries to
minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.

Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached.  Hiroto Shibuya has
verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
machine).

Additional discussion:

Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
quite a bit of air time already.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538

Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.

  outb(0x14, 0x60);       /* set "System flag" */

In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
but along this change,  he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
of "disable keyboard" flag.

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51

   outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */

So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.

When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
sync_cmos_clock procedure.  I discovered that it was not syncing to
cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
every second for hours at a time.  The reason turned out to be a typo
in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
"xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
but not equal to it.  This makes the test erratic, creating a
"coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
needlessly incorrect, too.

In cases where not all CPUs are brought up during

dirty page balancing: Get rid of broken unmapped_ratio logic

This code harks back to the days when we didn't count dirty mapped
pages, which led us to try to balance the number of dirty unmapped pages
by how much unmapped memory there was in the system.

That makes no sense any more, since now the dirty counts include the
mapped pages.  Not to mention that the math doesn't work with HIGHMEM
machines anyway, and causes the unmapped_ratio to potentially turn
negative (which we do catch thanks to clamping it at a minimum value,
but I mention that as an indication of how broken the code is).

The code also was written at a time when the default dirty ratio was
much larger, and the unmapped_ratio logic effectively capped that large
dirty ratio a bit.  Again, we've since lowered the dirty ratio rather
aggressively, further lessening the point of that code.

Ralf Baechle [Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:37:15 +0000 (19:37 +0000)]
[MIPS] irq_cpu: use handle_percpu_irq handler to avoid dropping interrupts.

This matters to any sort of device that is wired to one of the CPU
interrupt pins on an SMP system.  Typically the scenario is most easily
triggered with the count/compare timer interrupt where the same interrupt
number and thus irq_desc is used on each processor.

   CPU A CPU B

   do_IRQ()
   generic_handle_irq()
   handle_level_irq()
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   set IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)
do_IRQ()
generic_handle_irq()
handle_level_irq()
spin_lock(desc_lock)
IRQ_INPROGRESS set => bail out
   spin_lock(desc_lock)
   clear IRQ_INPROGRESS
   spin_unlock(desc_lock)

In case of the cp0 compare interrupt this means the interrupt will be
acked and not handled or re-armed on CPU b, so there won't be any timer
interrupt until the count register wraps around.

With kernels 2.6.20 ... 2.6.23 we usually were lucky that things were just
working right on VSMP because the count registers are synchronized on
bootup so it takes something that disables interrupts for a long time on
one processor to trigger this one.

For scenarios where an interrupt is multicasted or broadcasted over several
CPUs the existing code was safe and the fix will break it.  There is no
way to know in the interrupt controller code because it is abstracted from
the platform code.  I think we do not have such a setup currently, so this
should be ok.
