      x86: simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig all.config · 6840999b
      Sam Ravnborg authored
      Simplify "make ARCH=x86" and fix kconfig so we again can set 64BIT in
      all.config.
      
      For a fix the diffstat is nice:
       6 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-)
      
      The patch reverts these commits:
       - 0f855aa6 ("kconfig: add helper to set
         config symbol from environment variable")
       - 2a113281 ("kconfig: use $K64BIT to
         set 64BIT with all*config targets")
      
      Roman Zippel pointed out that kconfig supported string compares so
      the additional complexity introduced by the above two patches were
      not needed.
      
      With this patch we have following behaviour:
      
        # make {allno,allyes,allmod,rand}config [ARCH=...]
        option \ host arch      | 32bit         | 64bit
        =====================================================
        ./.                     | 32bit         | 64bit
        ARCH=x86                | 32bit         | 32bit
        ARCH=i386               | 32bit         | 32bit
        ARCH=x86_64             | 64bit         | 64bit
      
      The general rule are that ARCH= and native architecture takes
      precedence over the configuration.
      
      So make ARCH=i386 [whatever] will always build a 32-bit kernel
      no matter what the configuration says.  The configuration will
      be updated to 32-bit if it was configured to 64-bit and the
      other way around.
      
      This behaviour is consistent with previous behaviour so no
      suprises here.
      
      make ARCH=x86 will per default result in a 32-bit kernel but as
      the only ARCH= value x86 allow the user to select between 32-bit
      and 64-bit using menuconfig.

      x86: fix reboot with no keyboard attached · 05dfa35e
      Truxton Fulton authored
      Attempt to fix http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8378
      
      Hiroto Shibuya wrote to tell me that he has a VIA EPIA-EK10000 which
      suffers from the reboot problem when no keyboard is attached.  My first
      patch works for him:
      
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
      
      But the latest patch does not work for him :
      
        http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
      
      We found that it was necessary to also set the "disable keyboard" flag in
      the command byte, as the first patch was doing.  The second patch tries to
      minimally modify the command byte, but it is not enough.
      
      Please consider this simple one-line patch to help people with low end VIA
      motherboards reboot when no keyboard is attached.  Hiroto Shibuya has
      verified that this works for him (as I no longer have an afflicted
      machine).
      
      
      Additional discussion:
      
      Note that original patch from Truxton DOES
      disable keyboard and this has been in main tree since 2.6.14, thus it must have
      quite a bit of air time already.
      
      http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commit;h=59f4e7d572980a521b7bdba74ab71b21f5995538
      
      Note that he only mention "System flag" in the description and comment, but
      in the code, "disable keyboard" flag is set.
      
        outb(0x14, 0x60);       /* set "System flag" */
      
      In 2.6.23, he made a change to read the current byte and then mask the flags,
      but along this change,  he only set the "System flag" and dropped the setting
      of "disable keyboard" flag.
      
      http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.23.y.git;a=commit;h=8b93789808756bcc1e5c90c99f1b1ef52f839a51
      
         outb(cmd | 0x04, 0x60); /* set "System flag" */
      
      So my request is to restore the setting of disable keyboard flag which has been
      there since 2.6.14 but disappeared in 2.6.23.

      Some BIOSes advertise HPET at 0x0. We really do no want to 
      allocate a resource there. Check for it and leave early.
      
      Other BIOSes tell us the HPET is at 0xfed0000000000000 
      instead of 0xfed00000. Add a check and fix it up with a warning

      x86: on x86_64, correct reading of PC RTC when update in progress in time_64.c · bbbd9995
      David P. Reed authored
      Correct potentially unstable PC RTC time register reading in time_64.c
      
      Stop the use of an incorrect technique for reading the standard PC RTC
      timer, which is documented to "disconnect" time registers from the bus
      while updates are in progress.  The use of UIP flag while interrupts
      are disabled to protect a 244 microsecond window is one of the
      Motorola spec sheet's documented ways to read the RTC time registers
      reliably.
      
      tglx: removed locking changes from original patch, as they gain nothing
      (read_persistent_clock is only called during boot, suspend, resume - so
      no hot path affected) and conflict with the paravirt locking scheme
      (see 32bit code), which we do not want to complicate for no benefit.

      Fix hard freeze on x86_64 when the ntpd service calls 
      update_persistent_clock()
      
      A repeatable but randomly timed freeze has been happening in Fedora 6
      and 7 for the last year, whenever I run the ntpd service on my AMD64x2
      HP Pavilion dv9000z laptop.  This freeze is due to the use of
      spin_lock(&rtc_lock) under the assumption (per a bad comment) that
      set_rtc_mmss is called only with interrupts disabled.  The call from
      ntp.c to update_persistent_clock is made with interrupts enabled.

      ntp: fix typo that makes sync_cmos_clock erratic · fa6a1a55
      David P. Reed authored
      Fix a typo in ntp.c that has caused updating of the persistent (RTC)
      clock when synced to NTP to behave erratically.
      
      When debugging a freeze that arises on my AMD64 machines when I
      run the ntpd service, I added a number of printk's to monitor the
      sync_cmos_clock procedure.  I discovered that it was not syncing to
      cmos RTC every 11 minutes as documented, but instead would keep trying
      every second for hours at a time.  The reason turned out to be a typo
      in sync_cmos_clock, where it attempts to ensure that
      update_persistent_clock is called very close to 500 msec. after a 1
      second boundary (required by the PC RTC's spec). That typo referred to
      "xtime" in one spot, rather than "now", which is derived from "xtime"
      but not equal to it.  This makes the test erratic, creating a
      "coin-flip" that decides when update_persistent_clock is called - when
      it is called, which is rarely, it may be at any time during the one
      second period, rather than close to 500 msec, so the value written is
      needlessly incorrect, too.
