Found by Bodo Stroesser. Description from Bodo: >> On i386, if a signal handler is started, the kernel saves the fpu-state of the interrupted routine in the sigcontext on the stack. Calling unlazy_fpu() and setting current->used_math=0, the kernel supplies the signal-handler with a cleared virtual fpu. On sigreturn(), the old fpu-state of the interrupted routine is restored. If a process never used the fpu, it virtually has a cleared fpu. If such a process is interrupted by a signal handler, no fpu-context is saved and sigcontext->fpstate is set to NULL. Assume, that the signal handler uses the fpu. Then, AFAICS, on sigreturn current->used_math will be 1. Since sigcontext->fpstate still is NULL, restore_sigcontext() doesn't call restore_i387(). Thus, no clear_fpu() is done, current->used_math is not reset. Now, the interrupted processes fpu no longer is cleared! << Fix by AK. Just clear the FPU again when this happens. patch for i386 and x86-64. Signed-off-by:

AMD dual core support for i386 Run HT initialization on AMD dual core CPUs on i386. They fake being HT CPUs. This patch makes the HT detection run on AMD CPUs too. I moved the HT detection code into a common file from intel.c for that. It would be actually better to run HT detection always on all CPUs but this would need a second callback afterwards to AMD code, which I avoided for now. It adds a cpuinfo->x86_num_cores field. This sets up the phys_proc_id[] array. This overloads this array with HT, but when smp_num_siblings is 1 It is currently only used for /proc/cpuinfo printing. The reason we want to behave this like SMT is that there are some license managers in user space that license according to number of physical CPUs, and when they handle HT they should handle CMP with this hack too. Another reason we need this is that the powernow k8 driver needs this information to properly manage dual core CPUs. When there are ever dual core HT CPUs this will need small changes in smpboot.c. I didn't do this for now to keep the patch simple. Then we set smp_num_siblings to 1 on these systems again to prevent the scheduler from setting up HT scheduling (which is not a very good match for dual core). This is a port of the CMP support code from x86-64 (minus the NUMA bits) Signed-off-by:

Work around another aperture BIOS bug on Opteron Based on debugging&code from Vincent ETIENNE <ve@vetienne.net> >> I have some problem with AGP initialization with my board : IWILL DK8N (Bi opteron chipset NFORCE3 ). I use kernel 2.6.10-rc3-mm1, but i have try with IOMMU reports a 128MB aperture for CPU0 ( that's the value i used in my bios) at F0000000 but only 32MB at 4000000 for CPU1 << This patch checks for this condition and fixes the other CPUs up.

current state: Systems with Nforce2 could freeze on high disk i/o activity in APIC mode when CPU Disconnect is enabled. If bios doesn't fix this, current kernel fix changes the registers according to follwing table: * Chip Old value New value * C17 0x1F0FFF01 0x1F01FF01 * C18D 0x9F0FFF01 0x9F01FF01 But this is only done, if cpu disconnect has been enabled in bios. why change this: If CPU disconnect is not enabled in bios, and bios is broken (some manufacturers like Abit don't care about their customers and even the latest bios doesn't fix this; I have an Abit mainboard), the kernel doesn't apply the fix, so if cpu disconnect is enabled at a later stage (in userspace), the system will be unstable and most likely freeze. new behaviour: The fix is now applied regardless of cpu disconnect being enabled at boot time, or not. As you only have to change byte 3 to 0x01, reading out chipset version isn't needed, so the patch simplifies the fix. Now turning cpu disconnect on, at later stage won't break the system, and if it was already enabled, it gets fixed, as the old version did. Signed-off-by:Prakash Punnoor <prakashp@arcor.de> Acked-by:

The address used by the kprobes handler was not correct if the application was using LDT entries for code segment. This patch fixes the above problem by calculating the address using base address of the current code segment. Also this patch removes the inline prefix of kprobe_handler() . Signed-off-by:

hopefully 'better' fix for broken Intel Mercury/Neptune in wait_8254_wraparound() ... Rationale: changing HZ to higher values (like 5k,10k or 20k) will hang machines using wait_8254_wraparound() indefinitely, because a suboptimal workaround for buggy Intel Mercury/Neptune chipsets is in place. this was tested on several machines, unfortunately none with a broken Intel Mercury/Neptune chipset, and it works fine with various HZ values ...

From: Nathan Lynch <nathanl@austin.ibm.com> Ran into this on a 4GB partition - all but about ~300MB was thrown away. It works for me, but I've not tested on firmware without the bug. Fall back to non-numa setup upon discovering unexpected memory layout as presented by firmware, instead of throwing away regions. Signed-off-by:

It turns out we were passing in the wrong thing to the rtas_set_indicator call. Luckily we got away with it because it looks like firmware does not check arguments and just inserts or removes the current cpu from the global server group. Fix it. Signed-off-by:

I've noticed a problem where xtime and gettimeofday could get out of sync if interrupts are disabled for too long (eg long kernel code paths or dropping into the debugger for a while). We correctly replay lost jiffies but in that loop time_sync_xtime syncs the intermediate values of xtime up with the current value of gettimeofday. So xtime jumps by a bunch and from then on it is ahead of gettimeofday and we never resync the two. I guess this is to avoid xtime going backwards. The patch below creates a __do_gettimeofday where you can pass in a tb value and sync the intermediate values of xtime properly. Note that the time_sync_xtime check only stops the seconds from going backwards, the ns component still could couldnt it? Considering this is hard to get right, should we switch to the time interpolator stuff? The only problem there is it might be trouble for systemcfg (which exports stuff to do userspace gettimeofday).

It turns out gcc decides to allocate a stack frame in the current xmon setjmp function. This means the stack linkage we save away is destroyed when returning from it and its just a matter of time before another function stomps on it. This should fix the problem Linas reported this week.

Here are some changes to the oops printout, stuff that would have been useful when I was chasing various bugs. - print out instructions around the fail (3/4 before 1/4 after). - print out CTR and CR registers, make some space by cutting down XER (its only 32bit) - always print the DAR and DSISR, its sometimes useful - print_modules() like x86 Signed-off-by:
