Remove attribute((weak)) from sys_pipe/sys_pipe2

2009-01-18T18:35:33+00:00

commit 1134723e96f6e2abcf8bfd7a2d1c96fcc323ef35 upstream.

Remove __attribute__((weak)) from common code sys_pipe implemantation.
IA64, ALPHA, SUPERH (32bit) and SPARC (32bit) have own implemantations
with the same name. Just rename them.
For sys_pipe2 there is no architecture specific implementation.

IA64: fix boot panic caused by offline CPUs

2008-12-05T18:55:12+00:00

commit 62ee0540f5e5a804b79cae8b3c0185a85f02436b upstream.

This fixes a regression introduced by 2c6e6db41f01b6b4eb98809350827c9678996698
"Minimize per_cpu reservations."  That patch incorrectly used information about
what CPUs are possible that was not yet initialized by ACPI.  The end result
was that per_cpu structures for offline CPUs were not initialized causing a
NULL pointer reference.

Since we cannot do the full acpi_boot_init() call any earlier, the simplest
fix is to just parse the MADT for SAPIC entries early to find the CPU
info.  This should also allow for some cleanup of the code added by the
"Minimize per_cpu reservations".  This patch just fixes the regressions, the
cleanup will come in a later patch.

[IA64] Put the space for cpu0 per-cpu area into .data section

2008-09-29T23:39:19+00:00

Initial fix for making sure that we can access percpu variables
in all C code (commit: 10617bbe84628eb18ab5f723d3ba35005adde143)
inadvertantly allocated the memory in the "percpu" section of
the vmlinux ELF executable.  This confused kexec/dump.

[IA64] kexec fails on systems with blocks of uncached memory

2008-09-22T21:21:19+00:00

Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC
is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute
(EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same.

The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore. The
kdump kernel MCA'ed when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk. A normal
"cached" access may cause MCAs.

This patch would label memory with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC only as
"Uncached RAM" so that kexec would know not to include it in the vmcore.
I will submit a separate kexec-tools patch to the kexec list.

[IA64] Ski simulator doesn't need check_sal_cache_flush

2008-09-22T21:13:32+00:00

Peter Chubb reported that commit 3463a93def55c309f3c0d0a8aaf216be3be42d64
(Update check_sal_cache_flush to use platform_send_ipi()) broke
Ski because it does not implement IPIs.

Tony Luck suggested we just #ifndef out the call (since the simulator
does not have the SAL bug that this code is attempting to detect and
workaround)

[IA64] prevent ia64 from invoking irq handlers on offline CPUs

2008-09-10T17:52:42+00:00

Make ia64 refrain from clearing a given to-be-offlined CPU's bit in the
cpu_online_mask until it has processed pending irqs.  This change
prevents other CPUs from being blindsided by an apparently offline CPU
nevertheless changing globally visible state.  Also remove the existing
redundant cpu_clear(cpu, cpu_online_map).

[IA64] fix compile failure with non modular builds

2008-09-10T17:46:32+00:00

Broke the non modular builds by moving an essential function into
modules.c.  Fix this by moving it out again and into asm/sections.h as
an inline.  To do this, the definitions of struct fdesc and struct
got_val have been lifted out of modules.c and put in asm/elf.h where
they belong.

lib: Correct printk %pF to work on all architectures

2008-09-09T18:51:15+00:00

It was introduced by "vsprintf: add support for '%pS' and '%pF' pointer
formats" in commit 0fe1ef24f7bd0020f29ffe287dfdb9ead33ca0b2.  However,
the current way its coded doesn't work on parisc64.  For two reasons: 1)
parisc isn't in the #ifdef and 2) parisc has a different format for
function descriptors

Make dereference_function_descriptor() more accommodating by allowing
architecture overrides.  I put the three overrides (for parisc64, ppc64
and ia64) in arch/kernel/module.c because that's where the kernel
internal linker which knows how to deal with function descriptors sits.

[IA64] Fix ia64 build failure when CONFIG_SFC=m

2008-08-25T18:10:11+00:00

CONFIG_SFC=m uses topology_core_siblings() which, for ia64, expects
cpu_core_map to be exported.  It is not.  This patch exports the needed
symbol.

Maintainers note: This really looks like the wrong thing to do ... it
would be much better for the kernel to export an API to provide
drivers like this with data they need (which in the case of this
driver seems to be an estimate of the effective parallelism available
on the platform).  But x86 has exported this forever ... so go with
the flow until such an API is defined.

[IA64] Shrink shadow_flush_counts to a short array to save 8k of per_cpu area.

2008-08-18T22:39:48+00:00

Making allmodconfig will break the current build.  This patch shrinks
the per_cpu__shadow_flush_counts from 16k to 8k which frees enough space
to allow allmodconfig to successfully complete.
