Tony Luck dd4f0888f8 [IA64] Bugfix for system with 32 cpus
On a system where there are no hot pluggable cpus "additional_cpus"
is still set to -1 at the point where we call per_cpu_scan_finalize().
If we didn't find an SRAT table and so pick the default "32" for the
number of cpus, when we get to:
high_cpu = min(high_cpu + reserve_cpus, NR_CPUS);
we will end up initializing for just 31 cpus ... and so we will
die horribly when bringing up cpu#32.

Tony Luck 4dcc29e157 [IA64] Workaround for RSE issue
Problem: An application violating the architectural rules regarding
operation dependencies and having specific Register Stack Engine (RSE)
state at the time of the violation, may result in an illegal operation
fault and invalid RSE state.  Such faults may initiate a cascade of
repeated illegal operation faults within OS interruption handlers.
The specific behavior is OS dependent.

Implication: An application causing an illegal operation fault with
specific RSE state may result in a series of illegal operation faults
and an eventual OS stack overflow condition.

Workaround: OS interruption handlers that switch to kernel backing
store implement a check for invalid RSE state to avoid the series
of illegal operation faults.

The core of the workaround is the RSE_WORKAROUND code sequence
inserted into each invocation of the SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER and
SAVE_MIN_WITH_COVER_R19 macros.  This sequence includes hard-coded
constants that depend on the number of stacked physical registers
being 96.  The rest of this patch consists of code to disable this
workaround should this not be the case (with the presumption that
if a future Itanium processor increases the number of registers, it
would also remove the need for this patch).

Move the start of the RBS up to a mod32 boundary to avoid some
corner cases.

The dispatch_illegal_op_fault code outgrew the spot it was
squatting in when built with this patch and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING=y
Move it out to the end of the ivt.

Bernhard Walle 8a3360f06c [IA64] Don't reserve crashkernel memory > 4 GB
Some IA64 machines map all cell-local memory above 4 GB (32 bit limit).
However, in most cases, the kernel needs some memory below that limit that is
DMA-capable. So in this machine configuration, the crashkernel will be reserved
above 4 GB.

For machines that use SWIOTLB implementation because they lack an I/O MMU
the low memory is required by the SWIOTLB implementation. In that case,
it doesn't make sense to reserve the crashkernel at all because it's unusable
for kdump.

A special case is the "hpzx1" machine vector. In theory, it has a I/O MMU, so
it can be booted above 4 GB. However, in the kdump case that is not possible
because of changeset 51b58e3e26ebfb8cd56825c4b396ed251f51dec9:

    On HP zx1 machines, the 'machvec=dig' parameter is needed for the kdump
    kernel to avoid problems with the HP sba iommu.  The problem is that during
    the boot of the kdump kernel, the iommu is re-initialized, so in-flight DMA
    from improperly shutdown drivers causes an IOTLB miss which leads to an
    MCA.  With kdump, the idea is to get into the kdump kernel with as little
    code as we can, so shutting down drivers properly is not an option.

    The workaround is to add 'machvec=dig' to the kdump kernel boot parameters.
    This makes the kdump kernel avoid using the sba iommu altogether, leaving
    the IOTLB intact.  Any ongoing DMA falls harmlessly outside the kdump
    kernel.  After the kdump kernel reboots, all devices will have been
    shutdown properly and DMA stopped.

This patch pushes that functionality into the sba iommu initialization
code, so that users won't have to find the obscure documentation telling
them about 'machvec=dig'.

This means that also for hpzx1 it's not possible to boot when all
memory is above the 4 GB limit. So the only machine vectors that can handle
this case are "sn2" and "uv".

Zoltan Menyhart 98075d245a [IA64] Fix NUMA configuration issue
There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24:

A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout:

Node 0:	0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0:	4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1:	8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0:	16 - 18 Gbytes

"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.

"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:

efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);

i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.

"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:

efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);

"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

Fenghua Yu 2046b94e7c [IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction support
According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize
ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have
scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB
in parallel.

The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).

Clean up the process for presenting the "physical id" field in
/proc/cpuinfo.

	- remove global smp_num_cpucores, as it is mostly useless

	- remove check_for_logical_procs(), since we do the same
	  functionality in identify_siblings()

	- reflow logic in identify_siblings(). If an older CPU
	  does not implement PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL, we may still
	  be able to get useful information from SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO

	- in identify_siblings(), threads/cores are a property of
	  the CPU, not the platform

	- remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread
	  capability in identify_siblings(), as that information
	  is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for
	  the BSP only adds little value

	- smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the
	  system supports threads, not just the BSP

	- expose "physical id" field, even on CPUs that are not
	  multi-core / multi-threaded (as long as we have a valid
	  value). Now we know what sockets Madisons live in too.

Bernhard Walle 00bf4098be kexec: add BSS to resource tree
Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in
the resource tree.  The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel
reservation in that area.

While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the
actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before),
the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem
just as Kernel data and Kernel code.

Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because
efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

This patch adapts IA64 to use the generic parse_crashkernel() function instead
of its own parsing for the crashkernel command line.

Because the total amount of System RAM must be known when calling this

variable.

Also, the crashkernel handling is moved in an own function in
arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c to make the code more readable.

Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

Ingo Molnar 0437e109e1 sched: zap the migration init / cache-hot balancing code
the SMP load-balancer uses the boot-time migration-cost estimation
code to attempt to improve the quality of balancing. The reason for
this code is that the discrete priority queues do not preserve
the order of scheduling accurately, so the load-balancer skips
tasks that were running on a CPU 'recently'.

this code is fundamental fragile: the boot-time migration cost detector
doesnt really work on systems that had large L3 caches, it caused boot
delays on large systems and the whole cache-hot concept made the
balancing code pretty undeterministic as well.

(and hey, i wrote most of it, so i can say it out loud that it sucks ;-)

under CFS the same purpose of cache affinity can be achieved without
any special cache-hot special-case: tasks are sorted in the 'timeline'
tree and the SMP balancer picks tasks from the left side of the
tree, thus the most cache-cold task is balanced automatically.

Magnus Damm cee87af2a5 [IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option.  The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.

The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY.  With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.

So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA.  This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs.  In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.

This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen.  Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory().  The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().

The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

Chen, Kenneth W a0776ec8e9 [IA64] remove per-cpu ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8
It's not efficient to use a per-cpu variable just to store
how many physical stack register a cpu has.  Ever since the
incarnation of ia64 up till upcoming Montecito processor, that
variable has "glued" to 96. Having a variable in memory means
that the kernel is burning an extra cacheline access on every
syscall and kernel exit path.  Such "static" value is better
served with the instruction patching utility exists today.
Convert ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8 into dynamic insn patching.

This also has a pleasant side effect of eliminating access to
per-cpu area while psr.ic=0 in the kernel exit path. (fixable
for per-cpu DTC work, but why bother?)

There are some concerns with the default value that the instruc-
tion encoded in the kernel image.  It shouldn't be concerned.
The reasons are:

(1) cpu_init() is called at CPU initialization.  In there, we
    find out physical stack register size from PAL and patch
    two instructions in kernel exit code.  The code in question
    can not be executed before the patching is done.

(2) current implementation stores zero in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8,
    and that's what the current kernel exit path loads the value with.
    With the new code, it is equivalent that we store reg size 96
    in ia64_phys_stacked_size_p8, thus creating a better safety net.
    Given (1) above can never fail, having (2) is just a bonus.

All in all, this patch allow one less memory reference in the kernel
exit path, thus reducing syscall and interrupt return latency; and
avoid polluting potential useful data in the CPU cache.

Aron Griffis ae0af3e346 [IA64] use snprintf() on features field of /proc/cpuinfo
Some patches have turned up on xen-devel recently to convert strcpy()
to safer alternatives and so forth.  While reviewing those patches
I noticed that the features string building could be cleaned up.

This patch uses snprintf() instead of strcpy() and direct character
pointer manipulation.  It makes the features string building safe and
gets rid of the special case for features output in show_cpuinfo()

Additionally I removed the (int) cast of ARRAY_SIZE, which seems to
serve no purpose.

Tony Luck 75f6a1de41 [IA64] Take defensive stance on ia64_pal_get_brand_info()
Stephane thought he saw a problem here (but was just confused
by the return value from ia64_pal_get_brand_info()).  But we
should be more defensive here in case an prototype PAL for
a future processor doesn't implement this PAL call.

Horms ad1c3ba7e5 [IA64] Kexec/Kdump: honour non-zero crashkernel offset.
There seems to be a value in both allowing the kernel to determine
the base offset of the crashkernel automatically and allowing
users's to sepcify it.

The old behaviour on ia64, which is still the current behaviour on
most architectures is for the user to always specify the address.
Recently ia64 was changed so that it is always automatically determined.

With this patch the kernel automatically determines the offset if
the supplied value is 0, otherwise it uses the value provided.

This should probably be backed by a documentation change.

Horms 45a98fc622 [IA64] CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP permutations
Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for
keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people
who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile
in kexec.

The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.

Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c
This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.

Troy Heber fa1d19e5d9 [IA64] move SAL_CACHE_FLUSH check later in boot
The check to see if the firmware drops interrupts during a
SAL_CACHE_FLUSH is done to early in the boot. SAL_CACHE_FLUSH expects
to be able to make PAL calls in virtual mode, on some cell based
machines a fault occurs causing a MCA. This patch moves the check
after mmu_context_init so the TLB and VHPT are properly setup.

Russell King bcf5111a58 [SERIAL] Remove wrong asm/serial.h inclusions
asm/serial.h is supposed to contain the definitions for the architecture
specific 8250 ports for the 8250 driver.  It may also define BASE_BAUD,
but this is the base baud for the architecture specific ports _only_.

Therefore, nothing other than the 8250 driver should be including this
header file.  In order to move towards this goal, here is a patch which
removes some of the more obvious incorrect includes of the file.

Jon Smirl 894673ee61 [PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h
screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

Tony Luck 76d08bb3f0 [IA64] Add "model name" to /proc/cpuinfo
Linux ia64 port tried to decode the processor family number
to something human-readable, but Intel brandnames don't change
synchronously with updates to the family number.  Adopt a more
i386-like approach and just print the family number in decimal.
Add a new field "model name" that uses PAL_BRAND_INFO to find
the official name for the cpu, or on older systems, falls back
to using the well-known codenames (Merced, McKinley, Madison).
