Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.

Impact: fix /proc/cpuinfo output on x86/Voyager Ever since | commit 92cb7612 | Author: Mike Travis <travis@sgi.com> | Date: Fri Oct 19 20:35:04 2007 +0200 | | x86: convert cpuinfo_x86 array to a per_cpu array We've had an extra field in cpuinfo_x86 which is cpu_index. Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for the processor ids. Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the index when the secondaries update.

Impact: build fix on non-lockdep architectures Some architectures do not support a way to read the irq flags that is set from "local_irq_save(flags)" to determine if interrupts were disabled or enabled. Ftrace uses this information to display to the user if the trace occurred with interrupts enabled or disabled. Besides the fact that those archs that do not support this will fail to compile, unless they fix it, we do not want to have the trace simply say interrupts were not disabled or they were enabled, without knowing the real answer. This patch adds a 'X' in the output to let the user know that the architecture they are running on does not support a way for the tracer to determine if interrupts were enabled or disabled. It also lets those same archs compile with tracing enabled. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Impact: allow /dev/mem mmaps on non-PAT CPUs/platforms Fix mmap to /dev/mem when CONFIG_X86_PAT is off and CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is off mmap to /dev/mem on kernel memory has been failing since the introduction of PAT (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n case). Seems like the check to avoid cache aliasing with PAT is kicking in even when PAT is disabled. The bug seems to have crept in 2.6.26. This patch makes sure that the mmap to regular kernel memory succeeds if CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n and PAT is disabled, and the checks to avoid cache aliasing still happens if PAT is enabled.
