The function __cpufreq_set_policy in file drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c has a very obvious error: if (policy->min > data->min && policy->min > policy->max) { ret = -EINVAL; goto error_out; } This condtion statement is wrong because it returns -EINVAL only if policy->min is greater than policy->max (in this case, "policy->min > data->min" is true for ever.). In fact, it should return -EINVAL as well if policy->max is less than data->min. The correct condition should be: if (policy->min > data->max || policy->max < data->min) { The following test result testifies the above conclusion: Before applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2394000 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 1596000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo "2000000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo "1595000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# After applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 2394000 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 1596000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@localhost /]# echo "2000000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@localhost /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq 1596000 [root@localhost /]# echo "0" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@localhost /]# echo "1595000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@localhost /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 1596000 [root@localhost /]# echo "1596000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@localhost /]# echo "2394000" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq [root@localhost /]# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2394000 [root@localhost /] Signed-off-by:Yi Yang <yi.y.yang@intel.com> Signed-off-by:

Both of these references to cpu_to_node() can potentially occur before the "late" cpu_to_node map is setup. Therefore, they should be changed to use early_cpu_to_node(). Signed-off-by:

The new "mfgptfix" boot command line option may be usd to fix MFGPT timers on AMD Geode platforms when the BIOS has incorrectly applied a workaround. TinyBIOS version 0.98 is known to be affected, 0.99 fixes the problem by letting the user disable the workaround. Signed-off-by:

when MTRRs are not covering the whole e820 table, we need to trim the RAM and need to update e820. reuse some code on 64-bit as well. here need to add early_get_cap and use it in early_cpu_detect, and move mtrr_bp_init early. The code successfully trimmed the memory map on Justin's system: from: [ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000022c000000 (usable) to: [ 0.000000] modified: 0000000100000000 - 0000000228000000 (usable) [ 0.000000] modified: 0000000228000000 - 000000022c000000 (reserved) According to Justin it makes quite a difference: | When I boot the box without any trimming it acts like a 286 or 386, | takes about 10 minutes to boot (using raptor disks).

ibcs2 support has never been supported on 2.6 kernels as far as I know, and if it has it must have been an external patch. Anyways, if anybody applies an external patch they could as well readd the ibcs checking code to the ELF loader in the same patch. But there is no reason to keep this code running in all Linux kernels. This will save at least two strcmps each ELF execution. No deprecation period because it could not have been used anyway.

the previous patch in the old RTC driver. It also removes the direct rtc_interrupt() call from arch/x86/kernel/hpetc.c so that there's finally no (code) dependency to CONFIG_RTC in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c. Because of this, it's possible to compile the drivers/char/rtc.ko driver as module and still use the HPET emulation functionality. This is also expressed in Kconfig. Signed-off-by:

enabled, then interrupts don't work for the rtc-cmos driver which results in RTC_AIE*, RTC_PIE* and RTC_ALM being unusable. This affects hwclock from util-linux-ng at least on i386 since that uses RTC_PIE_ON. (For x86-64, a polling method is used for unknown reasons.) This patch series now 1. export the functions from arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c that the old char/rtc driver uses to work around that problem, 2. makes it possible to compile the old rtc driver as module, while still having CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC enabled and 3. makes use of the exported functions in (1) in the new rtc-cmos driver. This patch: This patch makes the RTC emulation functions in arch/x86/kernel/hpet.c usable for kernel modules. It - exports the functions (EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()), - adds an interface to register the interrupt callback function instead of using only a fixed callback function and - replaces the rtc_get_rtc_time() function which depends on CONFIG_RTC with a call to get_rtc_time() which is defined in include/asm-generic/rtc.h. The only dependency to CONFIG_RTC is the call to rtc_interrupt() which is removed by the next patch. After this, there's no (code) dependency of this functions to CONFIG_RTC=y any more.

I am preparing to convert the boot time page table to the kernels native format. To achieve that I need to enable PAE. Enabling PSE and the no execute bit would not hurt. So this patch modifies the boot cpu path to execute all of the kernels enable code if and only if we have the proper bits set in mmu_cr4_features. Signed-off-by:

Currently in head_32.S there are two ways we test to see if we are the boot cpu. By looking at %ebx and by looking at the static variable ready. When changing things around I have found that it gets tricky to preserve %ebx. So this patch just switches head.S over to the more reliable test of always using ready. Hopefully later we can kill these tests entirely. Signed-off-by:

The FLATMEM memory model references a global mem_map and max_mapnr. This is incompatible with how memory models used for NUMA view the world. Builds fail if FLATMEM && NUMA are set on x86. This patch forbids that combination of config items. This is consistent with x86_64 enforcements. Signed-off-by:

The DISCONTIG memory model on x86 32 bit uses a remap allocator early in boot. The objective is that portions of every node are mapped in to the kernel virtual area (KVA) in place of ZONE_NORMAL so that node-local allocations can be made for pgdat and mem_map structures. With SPARSEMEM, the amount that is set aside is insufficient for all the mem_maps to be allocated. During the boot process, it falls back to using the bootmem allocator. This breaks assumptions that SPARSEMEM makes about the layout of the mem_map in memory and results in a VM_BUG_ON triggering due to pfn_to_page() returning garbage values. This patch only enables the remap allocator for use with DISCONTIG. Without SRAT support, a compile-error occurs because ACPI table parsing functions are only available in x86-64. This patch also adds no-op stubs and prints a warning message. What likely needs to be done is sharing the table parsing functions between 32 and 64 bit if they are compatible. Signed-off-by:

additional section for .init.text appending a number. A side effect of this was a section mismatch warning because modpost did not recognize a .init.text section named .init.text.1: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.head+0x247): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:start_kernel (between 'is386' and 'check_x87') Fix this by hardcoding the "ax" in the pushsection. Thanks to Torlaf for reporting this. Alan Modra provided the hint that made me able to locate the root cause of this warning. And Mike Frysinger told me how to properly fix it using __INIT/__FINIT. Fix following Section mismatch warning in addition: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x14c8): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:vsyscall_int80_start (between 'fiddle_vdso' and 'xen_setup_features') fiddle_vdso was only used from a __init function - so declare it __init.
