perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events
Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )

function-graph: add stack frame test
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return
from function code, we would like to detect that.
An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the
function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested
when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for
this purpose.
This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack
frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit.
There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a
few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the
return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and
not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go
to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function
graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do
this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function
was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes.
This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was.
This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch
specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate
the new prototype.
Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace.
This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be
used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

x86: unify arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
Look at the:
diff -u arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux_*.lds
output and realize that they're basially exactly the same except for
trivial naming differences, and the fact that the 64-bit version has a
"pgtable" thing.
So unify them.
There's some trivial cleanup there (make the output format a Kconfig thing
rather than doing #ifdef's for it, and unify both 32-bit and 64-bit BSS
end to "_ebss", where 32-bit used to use the traditional "_end"), but
other than that it's really very mindless and straigt conversion.
For example, I think we should aim to remove "startup_32" vs "startup_64",
and just call it "startup", and get rid of one more difference. I didn't
do that.
Also, notice the comment in the unified vmlinux.lds.S talks about
"head_64" and "startup_32" which is an odd and incorrect mix, but that was
actually what the old 64-bit only lds file had, so the confusion isn't
new, and now that mixing is arguably more accurate thanks to the
vmlinux.lds.S file being shared between the two cases ;)

This enables support for systems with more than one CPU. If you have

a system with only one CPU, like most personal computers, say N. If

|
|
|
|
you have a system with more than one CPU, say Y.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you say N here, the kernel will run on single and multiprocessor
|
|
|
|
|
machines, but will use only one CPU of a multiprocessor machine. If
|
|
|
|
|
you say Y here, the kernel will run on many, but not all,
|
|
|
|
|
singleprocessor machines. On a singleprocessor machine, the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
will run faster if you say N here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that if you say Y here and choose architecture "586" or
|
|
|
|
|
"Pentium" under "Processor family", the kernel will not work on 486
|
|
|
|
|
architectures. Similarly, multiprocessor kernels for the "PPro"
|
|
|
|
|
architecture may not work on all Pentium based boards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
People using multiprocessor machines who say Y here should also say
|
|
|
|
|
Y to "Enhanced Real Time Clock Support", below. The "Advanced Power
|
|
|
|
|
Management" code will be disabled if you say Y here.

Moorestown is Intel's Low Power Intel Architecture (LPIA) based Moblin

|
Internet Device(MID) platform. Moorestown consists of two chips:
|
|
|
|
|
Lincroft (CPU core, graphics, and memory controller) and Langwell IOH.
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike standard x86 PCs, Moorestown does not have many legacy devices
|
|
|
|
|
nor standard legacy replacement devices/features. e.g. Moorestown does
|
|
|
|
|
not contain i8259, i8254, HPET, legacy BIOS, most of the io ports.

x86: Fix performance regression caused by paravirt_ops on native kernels
Xiaohui Xin and some other folks at Intel have been looking into what's
behind the performance hit of paravirt_ops when running native.
It appears that the hit is entirely due to the paravirtualized
spinlocks introduced by:
| commit 8efcbab674de2bee45a2e4cdf97de16b8e609ac8
| Date: Mon Jul 7 12:07:51 2008 -0700
|
| paravirt: introduce a "lock-byte" spinlock implementation
The extra call/return in the spinlock path is somehow
causing an increase in the cycles/instruction of somewhere around 2-7%
(seems to vary quite a lot from test to test). The working theory is
that the CPU's pipeline is getting upset about the
call->call->locked-op->return->return, and seems to be failing to
speculate (though I haven't seen anything definitive about the precise
reasons). This doesn't entirely make sense, because the performance
hit is also visible on unlock and other operations which don't involve
locked instructions. But spinlock operations clearly swamp all the
other pvops operations, even though I can't imagine that they're
nearly as common (there's only a .05% increase in instructions
executed).
If I disable just the pv-spinlock calls, my tests show that pvops is
identical to non-pvops performance on native (my measurements show that
it is actually about .1% faster, but Xiaohui shows a .05% slowdown).
Summary of results, averaging 10 runs of the "mmperf" test, using a
no-pvops build as baseline:
nopv Pv-nospin Pv-spin
CPU cycles 100.00% 99.89% 102.18%
instructions 100.00% 100.10% 100.15%
CPI 100.00% 99.79% 102.03%
cache ref 100.00% 100.84% 100.28%
cache miss 100.00% 90.47% 88.56%
cache miss rate 100.00% 89.72% 88.31%
branches 100.00% 99.93% 100.04%
branch miss 100.00% 103.66% 107.72%
branch miss rt 100.00% 103.73% 107.67%
wallclock 100.00% 99.90% 102.20%
The clear effect here is that the 2% increase in CPI is
directly reflected in the final wallclock time.
(The other interesting effect is that the more ops are
out of line calls via pvops, the lower the cache access
and miss rates. Not too surprising, but it suggests that
the non-pvops kernel is over-inlined. On the flipside,
the branch misses go up correspondingly...)
So, what's the fix?
Paravirt patching turns all the pvops calls into direct calls, so
_spin_lock etc do end up having direct calls. For example, the compiler
generated code for paravirtualized _spin_lock is:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq *0xffffffff805a5b30
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
The indirect call will get patched to:
<_spin_lock+0>: mov %gs:0xb4c8,%rax
<_spin_lock+9>: incl 0xffffffffffffe044(%rax)
<_spin_lock+15>: callq <__ticket_spin_lock>
<_spin_lock+20>: nop; nop /* or whatever 2-byte nop */
<_spin_lock+22>: retq
One possibility is to inline _spin_lock, etc, when building an
optimised kernel (ie, when there's no spinlock/preempt
instrumentation/debugging enabled). That will remove the outer
call/return pair, returning the instruction stream to a single
call/return, which will presumably execute the same as the non-pvops
case. The downsides arel 1) it will replicate the
preempt_disable/enable code at eack lock/unlock callsite; this code is
fairly small, but not nothing; and 2) the spinlock definitions are
already a very heavily tangled mass of #ifdefs and other preprocessor
magic, and making any changes will be non-trivial.
The other obvious answer is to disable pv-spinlocks. Making them a
separate config option is fairly easy, and it would be trivial to
enable them only when Xen is enabled (as the only non-default user).
But it doesn't really address the common case of a distro build which
is going to have Xen support enabled, and leaves the open question of
whether the native performance cost of pv-spinlocks is worth the
performance improvement on a loaded Xen system (10% saving of overall
system CPU when guests block rather than spin). Still it is a
reasonable short-term workaround.

This option enables a workaround that fixes a source of
|
|
|
|
|
spurious interrupts. This is recommended when threaded
|
|
|
|
|
interrupt handling is used on systems where the generation of
|
|
|
|
|
superfluous "boot interrupts" cannot be disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some chipsets generate a legacy INTx "boot IRQ" when the IRQ
|
|
|
|
|
entry in the chipset's IO-APIC is masked (as, e.g. the RT
|
|
|
|
|
kernel does during interrupt handling). On chipsets where this
|
|
|
|
|
boot IRQ generation cannot be disabled, this workaround keeps
|
|
|
|
|
the original IRQ line masked so that only the equivalent "boot
|
|
|
|
|
IRQ" is delivered to the CPUs. The workaround also tells the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel to set up the IRQ handler on the boot IRQ line. In this
|
|
|
|
|
way only one interrupt is delivered to the kernel. Otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
the spurious second interrupt may cause the kernel to bring
|
|
|
|
|
down (vital) interrupt lines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Only affects "broken" chipsets. Interrupt sharing may be
|
|
|
|
|
increased on these systems.

x86, mce: use 64bit machine check code on 32bit
The 64bit machine check code is in many ways much better than
the 32bit machine check code: it is more specification compliant,
is cleaner, only has a single code base versus one per CPU,
has better infrastructure for recovery, has a cleaner way to communicate
with user space etc. etc.
Use the 64bit code for 32bit too.
This is the second attempt to do this. There was one a couple of years
ago to unify this code for 32bit and 64bit. Back then this ran into some
trouble with K7s and was reverted.
I believe this time the K7 problems (and some others) are addressed.
I went over the old handlers and was very careful to retain
all quirks.
But of course this needs a lot of testing on old systems. On newer
64bit capable systems I don't expect much problems because they have been
already tested with the 64bit kernel.
I made this a CONFIG for now that still allows to select the old
machine check code. This is mostly to make testing easier,
if someone runs into a problem we can ask them to try
with the CONFIG switched.
The new code is default y for more coverage.
Once there is confidence the 64bit code works well on older hardware
too the CONFIG_X86_OLD_MCE and the associated code can be easily
removed.
This causes a behaviour change for 32bit installations. They now
have to install the mcelog package to be able to log
corrected machine checks.
The 64bit machine check code only handles CPUs which support the
standard Intel machine check architecture described in the IA32 SDM.
The 32bit code has special support for some older CPUs which
have non standard machine check architectures, in particular
WinChip C3 and Intel P5. I made those a separate CONFIG option
and kept them for now. The WinChip variant could be probably
removed without too much pain, it doesn't really do anything
interesting. P5 is also disabled by default (like it
was before) because many motherboards have it miswired, but
according to Alan Cox a few embedded setups use that one.
Forward ported/heavily changed version of old patch, original patch
included review/fixes from Thomas Gleixner, Bert Wesarg.

certain Intel and AMD processors. The Intel support is for the

IA32 family, e.g. Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III,

Pentium 4, Xeon etc. The AMD support is for family 0x10 and

0x11 processors, e.g. Opteron, Phenom and Turion 64 Ultra.
|

You will obviously need the actual microcode binary data itself

Linux can use up to 64 Gigabytes of physical memory on x86 systems.
|
|
|
|
|
However, the address space of 32-bit x86 processors is only 4
|
|
|
|
|
Gigabytes large. That means that, if you have a large amount of
|
|
|
|
|
physical memory, not all of it can be "permanently mapped" by the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel. The physical memory that's not permanently mapped is called
|
|
|
|
|
"high memory".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are compiling a kernel which will never run on a machine with
|
|
|
|
|
more than 1 Gigabyte total physical RAM, answer "off" here (default
|
|
|
|
|
choice and suitable for most users). This will result in a "3GB/1GB"
|
|
|
|
|
split: 3GB are mapped so that each process sees a 3GB virtual memory
|
|
|
|
|
space and the remaining part of the 4GB virtual memory space is used
|
|
|
|
|
by the kernel to permanently map as much physical memory as
|
|
|
|
|
possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the machine has between 1 and 4 Gigabytes physical RAM, then
|
|
|
|
|
answer "4GB" here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If more than 4 Gigabytes is used then answer "64GB" here. This
|
|
|
|
|
selection turns Intel PAE (Physical Address Extension) mode on.
|
|
|
|
|
PAE implements 3-level paging on IA32 processors. PAE is fully
|
|
|
|
|
supported by Linux, PAE mode is implemented on all recent Intel
|
|
|
|
|
processors (Pentium Pro and better). NOTE: If you say "64GB" here,
|
|
|
|
|
then the kernel will not boot on CPUs that don't support PAE!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The actual amount of total physical memory will either be
|
|
|
|
|
auto detected or can be forced by using a kernel command line option
|
|
|
|
|
such as "mem=256M". (Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of
|
|
|
|
|
your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel at boot time.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

If unsure, say "off".

Select the desired split between kernel and user memory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the address range available to the kernel is less than the
|
|
|
|
|
physical memory installed, the remaining memory will be available
|
|
|
|
|
as "high memory". Accessing high memory is a little more costly
|
|
|
|
|
than low memory, as it needs to be mapped into the kernel first.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that increasing the kernel address space limits the range
|
|
|
|
|
available to user programs, making the address space there
|
|
|
|
|
tighter. Selecting anything other than the default 3G/1G split

will also likely make your kernel incompatible with binary-only

When enabled with the default parameters, this option has

almost no overhead, as it reserves a relatively small amount

of memory and scans it infrequently. It both detects corruption
|
|
|
|
|
and prevents it from affecting the running system.
|
|

It is, however, intended as a diagnostic tool; if repeatable
|
|
|
|
|
BIOS-originated corruption always affects the same memory,
|
|
|
|

you can use memmap= to prevent the kernel from using that

---help---
|
|
|
|
|
Linux can emulate a math coprocessor (used for floating point
|
|
|
|
|
operations) if you don't have one. 486DX and Pentium processors have
|
|
|
|
|
a math coprocessor built in, 486SX and 386 do not, unless you added
|
|
|
|
|
a 487DX or 387, respectively. (The messages during boot time can
|
|
|
|
|
give you some hints here ["man dmesg"].) Everyone needs either a
|
|
|
|
|
coprocessor or this emulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't have a math coprocessor, you need to say Y here; if you
|
|
|
|
|
say Y here even though you have a coprocessor, the coprocessor will
|
|
|
|
|
be used nevertheless. (This behavior can be changed with the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
command line option "no387", which comes handy if your coprocessor
|
|
|
|
|
is broken. Try "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot
|
|
|
|
|
loader (lilo or loadlin) about how to pass options to the kernel at
|
|
|
|
|
boot time.) This means that it is a good idea to say Y here if you
|
|
|
|
|
intend to use this kernel on different machines.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More information about the internals of the Linux math coprocessor
|
|
|
|
|
emulation can be found in <file:arch/x86/math-emu/README>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are not sure, say Y; apart from resulting in a 66 KB bigger
|
|
|
|
|
kernel, it won't hurt.

On Intel P6 family processors (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later)
|
|
|
|
|
the Memory Type Range Registers (MTRRs) may be used to control
|
|
|
|
|
processor access to memory ranges. This is most useful if you have
|
|
|
|
|
a video (VGA) card on a PCI or AGP bus. Enabling write-combining
|
|
|
|
|
allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer
|
|
|
|
|
before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus. This can increase performance
|
|
|
|
|
of image write operations 2.5 times or more. Saying Y here creates a
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/mtrr file which may be used to manipulate your processor's
|
|
|
|
|
MTRRs. Typically the X server should use this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This code has a reasonably generic interface so that similar
|
|
|
|
|
control registers on other processors can be easily supported
|
|
|
|
|
as well:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Cyrix 6x86, 6x86MX and M II processors have Address Range
|
|
|
|
|
Registers (ARRs) which provide a similar functionality to MTRRs. For
|
|
|
|
|
these, the ARRs are used to emulate the MTRRs.
|
|
|
|
|
The AMD K6-2 (stepping 8 and above) and K6-3 processors have two
|
|
|
|
|
MTRRs. The Centaur C6 (WinChip) has 8 MCRs, allowing
|
|
|
|
|
write-combining. All of these processors are supported by this code
|
|
|
|
|
and it makes sense to say Y here if you have one of them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Saying Y here also fixes a problem with buggy SMP BIOSes which only
|
|
|
|
|
set the MTRRs for the boot CPU and not for the secondary CPUs. This
|
|
|
|
|
can lead to all sorts of problems, so it's good to say Y here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can safely say Y even if your machine doesn't have MTRRs, you'll
|
|
|
|
|
just add about 9 KB to your kernel.

x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool y
This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled
feature and went through several revisions since then.
The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes
leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots
of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28.

x86: change MTRR_SANITIZER to def_bool y
This option has been added in v2.6.26 as a default-disabled
feature and went through several revisions since then.
The feature fixes a wide range of MTRR setup problems that BIOSes
leave us with: slow system, slow Xorg, slow system when adding lots
of RAM, etc., so we want to enable it by default for v2.6.28.

kexec is a system call that implements the ability to shutdown your
|
|
|
|
|
current kernel, and to start another kernel. It is like a reboot
|
|
|
|
|
but it is independent of the system firmware. And like a reboot
|
|
|
|
|
you can start any kernel with it, not just Linux.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name comes from the similarity to the exec system call.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is an ongoing process to be certain the hardware in a machine
|
|
|
|
|
is properly shutdown, so do not be surprised if this code does not
|
|
|
|
|
initially work for you. It may help to enable device hotplugging
|
|
|
|
|
support. As of this writing the exact hardware interface is
|
|
|
|
|
strongly in flux, so no good recommendation can be made.

kexec jump: save/restore device state
This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec.
This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for
following:
- A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can kexec a
hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown
the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system
via ordinary kexec load then jump back.
- Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make system
snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot.
- Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch between
several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time.
This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in.
- A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning
off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux.
The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump:
- kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches
and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL:

- makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it
can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The
patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the
following URL:

- An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced
kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded
from the following URL:
initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz
All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image.
Usage example of simple hibernation:
1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected:
CONFIG_X86_32=y
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_PM=y
CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y
2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or
download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in
following text.
3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called
hibernating partition in following text.
4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A).
5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with
/sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow:
/sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000
--mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz
6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line:
/sbin/kexec -e
7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory
image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as
follow:
jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='`
echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry
cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf
Then you can shutdown the machine as normal.
8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as
root file system.
9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow:
/sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf
10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow:
/sbin/kexec -e
Then, kernel A is resumed.
Implementation point:
To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing)
the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices
are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is
saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new
kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The
devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to
implement corresponding function.
Known issues:
- Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited,
hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is
planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to
make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking.
Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

This gives the physical address where the kernel is loaded.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If kernel is a not relocatable (CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=n) then
|
|
|
|
|
bzImage will decompress itself to above physical address and
|
|
|
|
|
run from there. Otherwise, bzImage will run from the address where
|
|
|
|
|
it has been loaded by the boot loader and will ignore above physical
|
|
|
|
|
address.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In normal kdump cases one does not have to set/change this option
|
|
|
|
|
as now bzImage can be compiled as a completely relocatable image
|
|
|
|
|
(CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y) and be used to load and run from a different
|
|
|
|
|
address. This option is mainly useful for the folks who don't want
|
|
|
|
|
to use a bzImage for capturing the crash dump and want to use a
|
|
|
|
|
vmlinux instead. vmlinux is not relocatable hence a kernel needs
|
|
|
|
|
to be specifically compiled to run from a specific memory area
|
|
|
|
|
(normally a reserved region) and this option comes handy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2009-05-12 07:12:16 +08:00
|
|
|
So if you are using bzImage for capturing the crash dump,
|
|
|
|
|
leave the value here unchanged to 0x1000000 and set
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y. Otherwise if you plan to use vmlinux
|
|
|
|
|
for capturing the crash dump change this value to start of
|
|
|
|
|
the reserved region. In other words, it can be set based on
|
|
|
|
|
the "X" value as specified in the "crashkernel=YM@XM"
|
|
|
|
|
command line boot parameter passed to the panic-ed
|
|
|
|
|
kernel. Please take a look at Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt
|
|
|
|
|
for more details about crash dumps.
|
2007-11-10 04:56:54 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage of bzImage for capturing the crash dump is recommended as
|
|
|
|
|
one does not have to build two kernels. Same kernel can be used
|
|
|
|
|
as production kernel and capture kernel. Above option should have
|
|
|
|
|
gone away after relocatable bzImage support is introduced. But it
|
|
|
|
|
is present because there are users out there who continue to use
|
|
|
|
|
vmlinux for dump capture. This option should go away down the
|
|
|
|
|
line.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't change this unless you know what you are doing.

This builds a kernel image that retains relocation information

but are discarded at runtime.

This value puts the alignment restrictions on physical address

If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and

address aligned to above value and run from there.

If bootloader loads the kernel at a non-aligned address and

compiled for and run from there. The address for which kernel is

APM is a BIOS specification for saving power using several different
|
|
|
|
|
techniques. This is mostly useful for battery powered laptops with
|
|
|
|
|
APM compliant BIOSes. If you say Y here, the system time will be
|
|
|
|
|
reset after a RESUME operation, the /proc/apm device will provide
|
|
|
|
|
battery status information, and user-space programs will receive
|
|
|
|
|
notification of APM "events" (e.g. battery status change).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you select "Y" here, you can disable actual use of the APM
|
|
|
|
|
BIOS by passing the "apm=off" option to the kernel at boot time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note that the APM support is almost completely disabled for
|
|
|
|
|
machines with more than one CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In order to use APM, you will need supporting software. For location

This driver does not spin down disk drives (see the hdparm(8)
|
|
|
|
|
manpage ("man 8 hdparm") for that), and it doesn't turn off
|
|
|
|
|
VESA-compliant "green" monitors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This driver does not support the TI 4000M TravelMate and the ACER
|
|
|
|
|
486/DX4/75 because they don't have compliant BIOSes. Many "green"
|
|
|
|
|
desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver
|
|
|
|
|
may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't
|
|
|
|
|
much point in using this driver and you should say N. If you get
|
|
|
|
|
random kernel OOPSes or reboots that don't seem to be related to

Some other things you should try when experiencing seemingly random,
|
|
|
|
|
"weird" problems:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) make sure that you have enough swap space and that it is
|
|
|
|
|
enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
2) pass the "no-hlt" option to the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
3) switch on floating point emulation in the kernel and pass
|
|
|
|
|
the "no387" option to the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
4) pass the "floppy=nodma" option to the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
5) pass the "mem=4M" option to the kernel (thereby disabling
|
|
|
|
|
all but the first 4 MB of RAM)
|
|
|
|
|
6) make sure that the CPU is not over clocked.
|
|
|
|
|
7) read the sig11 FAQ at <http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11/>
|
|
|
|
|
8) disable the cache from your BIOS settings
|
|
|
|
|
9) install a fan for the video card or exchange video RAM
|
|
|
|
|
10) install a better fan for the CPU
|
|
|
|
|
11) exchange RAM chips
|
|
|
|
|
12) exchange the motherboard.

Normally we disable external interrupts while we are making calls to

the APM BIOS as a measure to lessen the effects of a badly behaving

BIOS implementation. The BIOS should reenable interrupts if it

needs to. Unfortunately, some BIOSes do not -- especially those in

many of the newer IBM Thinkpads. If you experience hangs when you

On PCI systems, the BIOS can be used to detect the PCI devices and
|
|
|
|
|
determine their configuration. However, some old PCI motherboards
|
|
|
|
|
have BIOS bugs and may crash if this is done. Also, some embedded
|
|
|
|
|
PCI-based systems don't have any BIOS at all. Linux can also try to

|
|
|
|
detect the PCI hardware directly without using the BIOS.

With this option, you can specify how Linux should detect the

if you choose "Direct", the BIOS won't be used, and if you

If you choose "Any", the kernel will try MMCONFIG, then the
|
|
|
|
|
direct access method and falls back to the BIOS if that doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
work. If unsure, go with the default, which is "Any".

MicroChannel Architecture is found in some IBM PS/2 machines and
|
|
|
|
|
laptops. It is a bus system similar to PCI or ISA. See
|
|
|
|
|
<file:Documentation/mca.txt> (and especially the web page given
|
|
|
|
|
there) before attempting to build an MCA bus kernel.

This provides basic support for National Semiconductor's
|
|
|
|
|
(now AMD's) Geode processors. The driver probes for the
|
|
|
|
|
PCI-IDs of several on-chip devices, so its a good dependency
|
|
|
|
|
for other scx200_* drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If compiled as a module, the driver is named scx200.

This driver provides a clocksource built upon the on-chip
|
|
|
|
|
27MHz high-resolution timer. Its also a workaround for
|
|
|
|
|
NSC Geode SC-1100's buggy TSC, which loses time when the
|
|
|
|
|
processor goes idle (as is done by the scheduler). The
|
|
|
|
|
other workaround is idle=poll boot option.
