* | | x86 gart: rename iommu.h to gart.hJoerg Roedel2007-10-309-9/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch renames the include file asm-x86/iommu.h to asm-x86/gart.h to make clear to which IOMMU implementation it belongs. The patch also adds "GART" to the Kconfig line.

* | | Revert "x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G"Linus Torvalds2007-10-291-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6. First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures, bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels. Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that this ever affected.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_rq_map_sg doesn't initialize sg->dma_address/length to zero anymore. Some low level drivers reuse sg lists without initializing so IOMMUs might get non-zero dma_address/length. If map_sg fails, we need pass the number of the mapped entries to gart_unmap_sg.

* | | x86: Dump filtering supports x86_64 sparsememKen'ichi Ohmichi2007-10-271-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the symbol "init_level4_pgt" to the vmcoreinfo data so that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) supports x86_64 sparsemem kernel of linux-2.6.24. makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for the analysis. It checks attributes in page structures and distinguishes necessary pages and unnecessary ones. To check them, makedumpfile gets the vmcoreinfo data which has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. For older x86_64 kernel (linux-2.6.23 or before), makedumpfile translates the virtual address of page structure into physical address by subtracting PAGE_OFFSET from virtual address, but this translation isn't effective for linux-2.6.24 sparsemem kernel, because its page structures are in virtual memmap area. makedumpfile should translate their virtual address by 4-levels paging and it needs the symbol "init_level4_pgt".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel only ever supports 1 version of the boot protocol so there is no need to check the boot protocol revision to see if a feature is supported. Both x86 and x86_64 support the same boot protocol so we need to implement the KEEP_SEGMENTS on x86_64 as well. It isn't just paravirt bootloaders that could use this functionality.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were two problems.

* | | x86: fix more TSC clock source calibration errorsDave Johnson2007-10-231-14/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous patch wasn't correctly handling the 'count' variable. If a CPU gave bad results on the 1st or 2nd run but good results on the 3rd, it wouldn't do the correct thing. No idea if any such CPU exists, but the patch below handles that case by discarding the bad runs. If a bad result (too quick, or too slow) occurs on any of the 3 runs it will be discarded. Also updated some comments to explain what's going on.

On investigation, the tsc_khz variable was significantly incorrect causing xtime to run slow. After a reboot tsc_khz was correct so I did a reboot test to see how often the problem occurred: Test was done on a 2000 Mhz Xeon system. Of 689 reboots, 8 of them had unacceptable tsc_khz values (>500ppm): range of tsc_khz # of boots % of boots ---------------- ---------- ---------- < 1999750 0 0.000% 1999750 - 1999800 21 3.048% 1999800 - 1999850 166 24.128% 1999850 - 1999900 241 35.029% 1999900 - 1999950 211 30.669% 1999950 - 2000000 42 6.105% 2000000 - 2000000 0 0.000% 2000050 - 2000100 0 0.000% [...] 2000100 - 2015000 1 0.145% << BAD 2015000 - 2030000 6 0.872% << BAD 2030000 - 2045000 1 0.145% << BAD 2045000 < 0 0.000% The worst boot was 2032.577 Mhz, over 1.5% off! It appears that on rare occasions, mach_countup() is taking longer to complete than necessary. I suspect that this is caused by the CPU taking a periodic SMI interrupt right at the end of the 30ms calibration loop. This would cause the loop to delay while the SMI BIOS hander runs. The resulting TSC value is beyond what it actually should be resulting in a higher tsc_khz. The below patch makes native_calculate_cpu_khz() take the best (shortest duration, lowest khz) run of it's 3 calibration loops. If a SMI goes off causing a bad result (long duration, higher khz) it will be discarded. With the patch applied, 300 boots of the same system produce good results: range of tsc_khz # of boots % of boots ---------------- ---------- ---------- < 1999750 0 0.000% 1999750 - 1999800 30 10.000% 1999800 - 1999850 166 55.333% 1999850 - 1999900 89 29.667% 1999900 - 1999950 15 5.000% 1999950 < 0 0.000% Problem was found and tested against 2.6.18.

* | Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.SRusty Russell2007-10-232-29/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch field, that for lguest is "1". This allows us to use the standard boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack. The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters and commandline for us, saving more code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* | Lguest support for VirtioRusty Russell2007-10-232-0/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

* | Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell2007-10-231-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).
