Maciej W. Rozycki authored
Some systems incorrectly report the ExtINTA pin of the I/O APIC as the genuine target of the timer interrupt. Here is a change that copies timer pin information found to the other pin if one has been found only. This way both a direct and a through-8259A route is tested with the pin letting these problematic systems work well enough. If no timer pin information has been found for the I/O APIC, then local APIC variations are tried only, similarly to what is done without the change (except without the misleading messages). Obviously if we try the first-chance path without being told by the BIOS to do so, we should not complain either, so do not print the message in this case. The 64-bit variation should be updated with a call to replace_pin_at_irq() which can be done with the upcoming merge. Since add_pin_to_irq() is now always called in the first-chance path, the condition to require it in the second-chance path no longer happens. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Unmask the timer interrupt line set up in the through-8259A mode explicitly after setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() has set up the I/O APIC interrupt redirection entry to let the two operations be unbound from each other.

Rename setup_ExtINT_IRQ0_pin() to setup_timer_IRQ0_pin() to better reflect the upcoming role of a function setting up a (semi-)arbitrary I/O APIC pin appropriately for the 8254 timer. By "appropriate" the following settings are meant: edge-triggered, active-high, all the other settings per-architecture. Adjust comments to reflect code appropriately. No functional changes.

For a better control the masking and unmasking of the timer interrupt line in the 8259A operating in the 'Virtual Wire' mode has been moved out of setup_ExtINT_IRQ0_pin() now, so remove the redundant calls from the function.

When the through-8259A mode is used for the timer, the call to set_irq_handler() will register a NULL handler name, resulting in "IO-APIC-<NULL>" reported. Fix by calling ioapic_register_intr() as done for all the other I/O APIC interrupts. The 64-bit variation calls set_irq_chip_and_handler_name() here needlessly and should get fixed with the upcoming merge. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

Maciej W. Rozycki authored
The local APIC interrupt handler gets registered with set_irq_chip_and_handler_name(), which results in "local-APIC-edge-fasteoi" reported as the name of the handler. Fix by removing the type of the handler left over from before the generic handlers were introduced. The 64-bit variation should get fixed with the upcoming merge. NB It should really use the "edge" handler and not the "fasteoi" one, but that's a separate issue. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

There is no point in keeping the 8259A enabled if the I/O APIC NMI watchdog has failed and the 8259A is not used to pass through regular timer interrupts.

Remove the "disable_8254_timer" and "enable_8254_timer" kernel parameters. Now that AEOI acknowledgements are no longer needed for correct timer operation, the 8259A can be kept disabled unconditionally unless interrupts, either timer or watchdog ones, are actually passed through it.

Maciej W. Rozycki authored
The code that used to be in do_slow_gettimeoffset() that relied on the IRR bit of the master 8259A PIC for IRQ0 to check the state of the output timer 0 of the PIT is no longer there. As a result, there is no need to use the POLL command to acknowledge the timer interrupt in the "8259A Virtual Wire", except for the NMI watchdog when the i82489DX APIC is used (this is because this particular APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered and keeping the input asserted would keep motherboard NMI sources held off for too long). Remove the unneeded bits and adjust comments accordingly. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

The pxa27x DMA controller defaults to 64-bit alignment. This caused the SCR reads to fail (and, depending on card type, error out) when card->raw_scr was not aligned on a 8-byte boundary. For performance reasons all scatter-gather addresses passed to pxamci_request should be aligned on 8-byte boundaries, but if this can't be guaranteed, byte aligned DMA transfers in the have to be enabled in the controller to get correct behaviour.

This reverts commit e8721549. Andrey Borzenkov reports that it resulted in a totally hung machine for him when loading the OHCI driver. Extensive netconsole capture with SysRq output shows that modprobe gets stuck in ohci_hub_status_data() when probing and enabling the OHCI controller, see for example http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/5/236 for an analysis. The problem appears to be an interrupt flood triggered by the commit that gets reverted, and Andrey confirmed that the revert makes things work for him again.

Mark McLoughlin authored
The "remote_irr" variable is used to indicate an interrupt which has been received by the LAPIC, but not acked. In our EOI handler, we unset remote_irr and re-inject the interrupt if the interrupt line is still asserted. However, we do not set remote_irr here, leading to a situation where if kvm_ioapic_set_irq() is called, then we go ahead and call ioapic_service(). This means that IRR is re-asserted even though the interrupt is currently in service (i.e. LAPIC IRR is cleared and ISR/TMR set) The issue with this is that when the currently executing interrupt handler finishes and writes LAPIC EOI, then TMR is unset and EOI sent to the IOAPIC. Since IRR is now asserted, but TMR is not, then when the second interrupt is handled, no EOI is sent and if there is any pending interrupt, it is not re-injected. This fixes a hang only seen while running mke2fs -j on an 8Gb virtio disk backed by a fully sparse raw file, with aliguori "avoid fragmented virtio-blk transfers by copying" changes.

Fix some issues in pagemap_read noted by Alexey: - initialize pagemap_walk.mm to "mm" , so the code starts working as advertised - initialize ->private to "&pm" so it wouldn't immediately oops in pagemap_pte_hole() - unstatic struct pagemap_walk, so two threads won't fsckup each other (including those started by root, including flipping ->mm when you don't have permissions) - pagemap_read() contains two calls to ptrace_may_attach(), second one looks unneeded. - avoid possible kmalloc(0) and integer wraparound.

Some Dell laptops enter resume with apparent garbage in the segment descriptor registers (almost certainly the result of a botched transition from protected to real mode.)
