[PATCH] i386: AMD dual core support for i386
AMD dual core support for i386
Run HT initialization on AMD dual core CPUs on i386. They fake being HT CPUs.
This patch makes the HT detection run on AMD CPUs too. I moved the HT
detection code into a common file from intel.c for that.
It would be actually better to run HT detection always on all CPUs but this
would need a second callback afterwards to AMD code, which I avoided for now.
It adds a cpuinfo->x86_num_cores field.
This sets up the phys_proc_id[] array. This overloads this array with HT, but
when smp_num_siblings is 1
It is currently only used for /proc/cpuinfo printing. The reason we want to
behave this like SMT is that there are some license managers in user space
that license according to number of physical CPUs, and when they handle HT
they should handle CMP with this hack too. Another reason we need this is
that the powernow k8 driver needs this information to properly manage dual
core CPUs.
When there are ever dual core HT CPUs this will need small changes in
smpboot.c. I didn't do this for now to keep the patch simple.
Then we set smp_num_siblings to 1 on these systems again to prevent the
scheduler from setting up HT scheduling (which is not a very good match for
dual core).
This is a port of the CMP support code from x86-64 (minus the NUMA bits)

[PATCH] x86_64: Work around another aperture BIOS bug on Opteron
Work around another aperture BIOS bug on Opteron
Based on debugging&code from Vincent ETIENNE <ve@vetienne.net>
>>
I have some problem with AGP initialization with my board : IWILL DK8N (Bi
opteron chipset NFORCE3 ). I use kernel 2.6.10-rc3-mm1, but i have try with
IOMMU reports a 128MB aperture for CPU0 ( that's the value i used in my bios)

This patch checks for this condition and fixes the other CPUs up.
[PATCH] APIC/LAPIC hanging problems on nForce2 system
current state:
Systems with Nforce2 could freeze on high disk i/o activity in APIC mode
when CPU Disconnect is enabled. If bios doesn't fix this, current kernel
fix changes the registers according to follwing table:
* Chip Old value New value
* C17 0x1F0FFF01 0x1F01FF01
* C18D 0x9F0FFF01 0x9F01FF01
But this is only done, if cpu disconnect has been enabled in bios.
why change this:
If CPU disconnect is not enabled in bios, and bios is broken (some
manufacturers like Abit don't care about their customers and even the
latest bios doesn't fix this; I have an Abit mainboard), the kernel
doesn't apply the fix, so if cpu disconnect is enabled at a later stage
(in userspace), the system will be unstable and most likely freeze.
new behaviour:
The fix is now applied regardless of cpu disconnect being enabled at
boot time, or not. As you only have to change byte 3 to 0x01, reading
out chipset version isn't needed, so the patch simplifies the fix. Now
turning cpu disconnect on, at later stage won't break the system, and if
it was already enabled, it gets fixed, as the old version did.
The address used by the kprobes handler was not correct if the application
was using LDT entries for code segment. This patch fixes the above problem
by calculating the address using base address of the current code segment.
Also this patch removes the inline prefix of kprobe_handler() .

[PATCH] ppc64: xtime <-> gettimeofday can get out of sync
I've noticed a problem where xtime and gettimeofday could get out of sync if
interrupts are disabled for too long (eg long kernel code paths or dropping
into the debugger for a while).
We correctly replay lost jiffies but in that loop time_sync_xtime syncs the
intermediate values of xtime up with the current value of gettimeofday. So
xtime jumps by a bunch and from then on it is ahead of gettimeofday and we
never resync the two. I guess this is to avoid xtime going backwards.
The patch below creates a __do_gettimeofday where you can pass in a tb value
and sync the intermediate values of xtime properly.
Note that the time_sync_xtime check only stops the seconds from going
backwards, the ns component still could couldnt it? Considering this is hard
to get right, should we switch to the time interpolator stuff? The only
problem there is it might be trouble for systemcfg (which exports stuff to do
userspace gettimeofday).

[PATCH] cputime: microsecond based cputime for s390
This patch adds the architecture magic to replace the jiffies based cputime

wait time. With this patch the numbers reported by top and ps when running
on LPAR or z/VM are finally not junk anymore.

This patch introduces the concept of (virtual) cputime. Each architecture
can define its method to measure cputime. The main idea is to define a
cputime_t type and a set of operations on it (see asm-generic/cputime.h).
Then use the type for utime, stime, cutime, cstime, it_virt_value,
it_virt_incr, it_prof_value and it_prof_incr and use the cputime operations
for each access to these variables. The default implementation is jiffies
based and the effect of this patch for architectures which use the default
implementation should be neglectible.
There is a second type cputime64_t which is necessary for the kernel_stat
cpu statistics. The default cputime_t is 32 bit and based on HZ, this will
overflow after 49.7 days. This is not enough for kernel_stat (ihmo not
enough for a processes too), so it is necessary to have a 64 bit type.
The third thing that gets introduced by this patch is an additional field
for the /proc/stat interface: cpu steal time. An architecture can account
cpu steal time by calls to the account_stealtime function. The cpu which
backs a virtual processor doesn't spent all of its time for the virtual
cpu. To get meaningful cpu usage numbers this involuntary wait time needs
to be accounted and exported to user space.
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>
The p->signal check in account_system_time is insufficient. If the timer
interrupt hits near the end of exit_notify, after EXIT_ZOMBIE has been set,
another cpu may release_task (NULLifying p->signal) in between
account_system_time's check and check_rlimit's dereference. Nor should
account_it_prof risk send_sig. But surely account_user_time is safe?
