fix: arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c: In function ‘dmi_ignore_irq0_timer_override’: arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c:1443: error: implicit declaration of function ‘force_mask_ioapic_irq_2’ Signed-off-by: -

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_, after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there were interrupts lost or something similar. Andreas Herrman reproduced similar problems: > Ok, now I've reproduced the stability problem. > - Using tip/master, > - reverting e38502eb8aa82314d5ab0eba45f50e6790dadd88 and > - applying your patch from this posting > http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121539354224562&w=4 > > Starting X, firefox, gimp, tuxpaint and doing some drawing in tuxpaint > results in a slow system.

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box. This basically restores the dont-use-the-lapic-timer exception mechanism that was unconditional on this box prior commit 8750bf5 ("x86: add C1E aware idle function"). Signed-off-by:

handle head and tail that are not aligned to big pages (2MB/1GB boundary). with this patch, on system that support gbpages, change: last_map_addr: 1080000000 end: 1078000000 to: last_map_addr: 1078000000 end: 1078000000 Signed-off-by:

x86_64 does not need it, but it won't have X86_INTEL_USERCOPY defined either. Signed-off-by:

Glauber Costa authored
We also carry the unaligned version with us. Only x86_64 uses it, but there's no problem in defining it. Signed-off-by:

Glauber Costa authored
Move both versions, which are highly similar, to uaccess.h. Note that, for x86_64, X86_WP_WORKS_OK is always defined. Signed-off-by:

We also check user pointer in x86_64 put_user, the way i386 does. In a separate patch for bisecting purposes. Signed-off-by:

Glauber Costa authored
Move __get_user_asm and __get_user_size and __get_user_nocheck to uaccess.h. This requires us to define a macro at __get_user_size for the 64-bit access case. Signed-off-by:

Let the user of the macro specify the desired return. Signed-off-by:

Glauber Costa authored
Move both __put_user_asm and __put_user_size to uaccess.h. i386 already had a special function for 64-bit access, so for x86_64, we just define a macro with the same name. Note that for X86_64, CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK will always be defined, so the #else part will never be even compiled in. Signed-off-by:

Do it in a separate patch for bisectability. Goal is to have put_user_size integrated. Signed-off-by:

Take it out of uaccess_32.h. Since it seems that no users of the x86_64 exists, we simply pick the i386 version. Signed-off-by:

Merge versions of getuser from uaccess_32.h and uaccess_64.h into uaccess.h. There is a part which is 64-bit only (for now), and for that, we use a __get_user_8 macro. Signed-off-by:
-
Glauber Costa authored
Common parts of uaccess_32.h and uaccess_64.h are put in uaccess.h. Bits in uaccess_32.h and uaccess_64.h that come to this file are equal except for comments and whitespaces differences. Signed-off-by:

Using explicit hexa (0xFFFFFFUL) introduces an unnecessary difference between i386 and x86_64 because of the size of their long. Use -1UL instead. Signed-off-by:

Do not refer to the processor word-size with int, as it won't work with x86_64. Use long instead. Signed-off-by:

Put the likely hint in access_ok. Just for bisectability. Signed-off-by:

Our integration efforts broke a build with this function being used with i386. Reason is "g" can put the operand in an imm32, which according to The Book (tm), is invalid as the second operand. This is actually a bug in x86_64 too, since the x86_64 instruction set reference does not list it as valid. We probably didn't trigger this before due to the ammount of registers available for 64-bit platforms. But that's just my guess. Signed-off-by:

Glauber Costa authored
For i386, __range_not_ok is a better name than __range_ok, since it returns 0 when it is in fact okay. Other than that, both versions does not need the word size specifiers, and we remove them. Signed-off-by:

In putuser_32.S and putuser_64.S, replace things like .quad, .long, and explicit references to [r|e]ax for the apropriate macros in asm/asm.h. Signed-off-by:

Remove them where unambiguous. Signed-off-by:

In putuser_64.S, do it the i386 way, and replace the code in beginning and end of functions with macros, since it's always the same thing. Save lines. Signed-off-by:
-
Glauber Costa authored
Instead of operating over a register we need to put back into normal state afterwards (the memory position), just sub from rbx, which is trashed anyway. We can save a few instructions. Also, this is the i386 way. Signed-off-by:
-
Glauber Costa authored
This is consistent with i386 usage. Signed-off-by:

Glauber Costa authored
Instead of clobbering r8, clobber rbx, which is the i386 way. Signed-off-by:
-
Glauber Costa authored
Follow the pattern, and define a single put_user_x, instead of defining macros for all available sizes. Exception is put_user_8, since the "A" constraint does not give us enough power to specify which register (a or d) to use in the 32-bit common case. Signed-off-by:

Clobber it in the inline asm macros, and let the compiler do this for us. Signed-off-by:
