[PATCH] ia64: use i386 dmi_scan.c Enable DMI table parsing on ia64. Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386 dmi_scan.c on x86_64. dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found. This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64 tree. In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than brute-force searching from 0xF0000. On non-EFI systems, it continues the brute-force search. My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor does it have an ACPI SPMI table. Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

[PATCH] ia64 uncached alloc This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2 mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split off from the driver. The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2 driver. Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch. Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2 right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently). On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory. Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.

[PATCH] ia64: select ACPI_NUMA if ACPI When ACPI && NUMA, pxm_to_node is used and it exists in drivers/acpi/numa.c Tony said: The patch makes sense ... if you pick both of "ACPI" and "NUMA", then you need (and should automatically be given) ACPI_NUMA too. The only open question is whether there is a better way of getting there. Perhaps with less configuration options in the first place? We are heading towards a future where so many systems will be NUMA that there would seem to be little benefit in keeping ACPI_NUMA separate from ACPI ... but perhaps we aren't quite there yet.

[PATCH] Configurable NODES_SHIFT Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5 NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy. SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's number. This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary. On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2 config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It would be simpler.

[IA64] esi-support Add support for making ESI calls [1]. ESI stands for "Extensible SAL specification" and is basically a way for invoking firmware subroutines which are identified by a GUID. I don't know whether ESI is used by vendors other than HP (if you do, please let me know) but as firmware "backdoors" go, this seems one of the cleaner methods, so it seems reasonable to support it, even though I'm not aware of any publicly documented ESI calls. I'd have liked to make the ESI module completely stand-alone, but unfortunately that is not easily (or not at all) possible because in order to make ESI calls in physical mode, a small stub similar to the EFI stub is needed in the kernel proper. I did try to create a stub that would work in user-level, but it quickly got ugly beyond recognition (e.g., the stub had to make assumptions about how the module-loader generated call-stubs work) and I didn't even get it to work (that's probably fixable, but I didn't bother because I concluded it was too ugly anyhow). While it's not terribly elegant to have kernel code which isn't actively used in the kernel proper, I think it might be worth making an exception here for two reasons: the code is trivially small (all that's really needed is esi_stub.S) and by including it in the normal kernel distro, it might encourage other OEMs to also use ESI, which I think would be far better than each inventing their own firmware "backdoor". The code was originally written by Alex. I just massaged and packaged it a bit (and perhaps messed up some things along the way...). Changes since first version of patch that was posted to mailing list: * Export ia64_esi_call and ia64_esi_call_phys() as GPL symbols. * Disallow building esi.c as a module for now. Building as a module would currently lead to an unresolved reference to "sal_lock" on SMP kernels because that symbol doesn't get exported. * Export esi_call_phys() only if ESI is enabled. * Remove internal stuff from esi.h and add a "proc_type" argument to ia64_esi_call() such that serialization-requirements can be expressed (ESI follows SAL here, where procedure calls may have to be serialized, are MP-safe, or MP-safe andr reentrant).

[PATCH] x86/x86_64: deferred handling of writes to /proc/irqxx/smp_affinity When handling writes to /proc/irq, current code is re-programming rte entries directly. This is not recommended and could potentially cause chipset's to lockup, or cause missing interrupts. CONFIG_IRQ_BALANCE does this correctly, where it re-programs only when the interrupt is pending. The same needs to be done for /proc/irq handling as well. Otherwise user space irq balancers are really not doing the right thing. - Changed pending_irq_balance_cpumask to pending_irq_migrate_cpumask for lack of a generic name. - added move_irq out of IRQ_BALANCE, and added this same to X86_64 - Added new proc handler for write, so we can do deferred write at irq handling time. - Display of /proc/irq/XX/smp_affinity used to display CPU_MASKALL, instead it now shows only active cpu masks, or exactly what was set. - Provided a common move_irq implementation, instead of duplicating when using generic irq framework. Tested on i386/x86_64 and ia64 with CONFIG_PCI_MSI turned on and off. Tested UP builds as well.

[PATCH] Kprobes: Make kprobe modules more portable In an effort to make kprobe modules more portable, here is a patch that: o Introduces the "symbol_name" field to struct kprobe. The symbol->address resolution now happens in the kernel in an architecture agnostic manner. 64-bit powerpc users no longer have to specify the ".symbols" o Introduces the "offset" field to struct kprobe to allow a user to specify an offset into a symbol. o The legacy mechanism of specifying the kprobe.addr is still supported. However, if both the kprobe.addr and kprobe.symbol_name are specified, probe registration fails with an -EINVAL. o The symbol resolution code uses kallsyms_lookup_name(). So CONFIG_KPROBES now depends on CONFIG_KALLSYMS o Apparantly kprobe modules were the only legitimate out-of-tree user of the kallsyms_lookup_name() EXPORT. Now that the symbol resolution happens in-kernel, remove the EXPORT as suggested by Christoph Hellwig o Modify tcp_probe.c that uses the kprobe interface so as to make it work on multiple platforms (in its earlier form, the code wouldn't work, say, on powerpc) Signed-off-by: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Prasanna S Panchamukhi <prasanna@in.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

[PATCH] Move Kprobes and Oprofile to "Instrumentation Support" menu Andrew Morton suggested to move kprobes from kernel hacking menu, since kernel hacking menu is in-appropriate for the Kprobes.

Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
execute a callback function. register_kprobe() establishes
a probepoint and specifies the callback. Kprobes is useful
for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
If in doubt, say "N".

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
