b92e9fac40 [PATCH] x86: fix amd64-agp aperture validation
Under CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM, assuming that a !pfn_valid() implies all
subsequent pfn-s are also invalid is wrong. Thus replace this by
explicitly checking against the E820 map.

AK: make e820 on x86-64 not initdata

b00742d399 [PATCH] x86-64: Account for module percpu space separately from kernel percpu
Rather than using a single constant PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM, compute it as
the sum of kernel_percpu + PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE.  This is now common
to all architectures; if an architecture wants to set
PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM to something special, then it may do so (ia64 is
the only one which does).

machine_ops is an interface for the machine_* functions defined in

01a2f43556 [PATCH] i386: Add smp_ops interface
Add a smp_ops interface.  This abstracts the API defined by
<linux/smp.h> for use within arch/i386.  The primary intent is that it
be used by a paravirtualizing hypervisor to implement SMP, but it
could also be used by non-APIC-using sub-architectures.

This is related to CONFIG_PARAVIRT, but is implemented unconditionally
since it is simpler that way and not a highly performance-sensitive
interface.

4fbb596881 [PATCH] i386: cleanup GDT Access
Now we have an explicit per-cpu GDT variable, we don't need to keep the
descriptors around to use them to find the GDT: expose cpu_gdt directly.

We could go further and make load_gdt() pack the descriptor for us, or even
assume it means "load the current cpu's GDT" which is what it always does.

This patch touches the NMI watchdog every MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
to inhibit the machine from triggering an NMI while the CPUs

than 64CPUs and 128GB of RAM when Alt-SysRq-m is performed.

It has been succesfully tested for regression on uni, 2, 4, 8

c8118c6c07 [PATCH] x86-64: vsyscall_gtod_data diet and vgettimeofday() fix
Current vsyscall_gtod_data is large (3 or 4 cache lines dirtied at timer
interrupt). We can shrink it to exactly 64 bytes (1 cache line on AMD64)

Instead of copying a whole struct clocksource, we copy only needed fields.

I deleted an unused field : offset_base

tv_usec = 1000000. Maybe not a bug, but why not doing the right thing ?

x86_64 currently simulates a list using the index and private fields of the
page struct.  Seems that the code was inherited from i386.  But x86_64 does
not use the slab to allocate pgds and pmds etc.  So the lru field is not
used by the slab and therefore available.

tracking.

6fb14755a6 [PATCH] x86: tighten kernel image page access rights
On x86-64, kernel memory freed after init can be entirely unmapped instead
of just getting 'poisoned' by overwriting with a debug pattern.

On i386 and x86-64 (under CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA), kernel text and bug table
can also be write-protected.

Compared to the first version, this one prevents re-creating deleted
mappings in the kernel image range on x86-64, if those got removed
previously. This, together with the original changes, prevents temporarily
having inconsistent mappings when cacheability attributes are being
changed on such pages (e.g. from AGP code). While on i386 such duplicate
mappings don't exist, the same change is done there, too, both for
consistency and because checking pte_present() before using various other
pte_XXX functions is a requirement anyway. At once, i386 code gets
adjusted to use pte_huge() instead of open coding this.

90a0a06aa8 [PATCH] i386: rationalize paravirt wrappers
paravirt.c used to implement native versions of all low-level
functions.  Far cleaner is to have the native versions exposed in the
headers and as inline native_XXX, and if !CONFIG_PARAVIRT, then simply
#define XXX native_XXX.

There are several nice side effects:

1) write_dt_entry() now takes the correct "struct Xgt_desc_struct *"
   not "void *".

2) load_TLS is reintroduced to the for loop, not manually unrolled
   with a #error in case the bounds ever change.

3) Macros become inlines, with type checking.

4) Access to the native versions is trivial for KVM, lguest, Xen and
   others who might want it.

bf50467204 [PATCH] i386: Use per-cpu GDT immediately upon boot
Now we are no longer dynamically allocating the GDT, we don't need the
"cpu_gdt_table" at all: we can switch straight from "boot_gdt_table" to the
per-cpu GDT.  This means initializing the cpu_gdt array in C.

The boot CPU uses the per-cpu var directly, then in smp_prepare_cpus() it
switches to the per-cpu copy just allocated.  For secondary CPUs, the
early_gdt_descr is set to point directly to their per-cpu copy.

For UP the code is very simple: it keeps using the "per-cpu" GDT as per SMP,
but we never have to move.

8f9aeca7a0 [PATCH] x86: add command line length to boot protocol
Because the command line is increased to 2048 characters after 2.6.21, it's
not possible for boot loaders and userspace tools to determine the length
of the command line the kernel can understand.  The benefit of knowing the
length is that users can be warned if the command line size is too long
which prevents surprise if things don't work after bootup.

This patch updates the boot protocol to contain a field called
"cmdline_size" that contain the length of the command line (excluding the
terminating zero).

The patch also adds missing fields (of protocol version 2.05) to the x86_64
setup code.

8b8ca80e19 [PATCH] x86-64: configurable fake numa node sizes
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable
node sizes.  These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse
memory resource management.

The old command-line option is still supported:
  numa=fake=32	gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the
		actual machine.

But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice:
  numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256
		gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and
		the rest of system memory to a sixth node.

The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes
that are possible with this implementation.

Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available
pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range.  The total
available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal
nodes to allocate.  These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their
borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches
the required size.

Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets
for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning
the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

5a90cf205c [PATCH] x86: Log reason why TSC was marked unstable
Change mark_tsc_unstable() so it takes a string argument, which holds the
reason the TSC was marked unstable.

This is then displayed the first time mark_tsc_unstable is called.

This should help us better debug why the TSC was marked unstable on certain
systems and allow us to make sure we're not being overly paranoid when
throwing out this troublesome clocksource.

o Some functions which are inline (acpi_madt_oem_check) are not inlined by
  compiler as these functions are accessed using function pointer. These
  functions are put in .text section and they in-turn access __init type
  functions hence modpost generates warnings.

o Do not iniline acpi_madt_oem_check, instead make it __init.

e073ae1b34 [PATCH] x86-64: Set HASHDIST_DEFAULT to 1 for x86_64 NUMA
Enable system hashtable memory to be distributed among nodes on x86_64 NUMA

Forcing the kernel to use node interleaved vmalloc instead of bootmem for
the system hashtable memory (alloc_large_system_hash) reduces the memory
imbalance on node 0 by around 40MB on a 8 node x86_64 NUMA box:

Before the following patch, on bootup of a 8 node box:

Node 0 MemTotal:      3407488 kB
Node 0 MemFree:       3206296 kB
Node 0 MemUsed:        201192 kB
Node 0 Active:           7012 kB
Node 0 Inactive:          512 kB
Node 0 Dirty:               0 kB
Node 0 Writeback:           0 kB
Node 0 FilePages:        1912 kB
Node 0 Mapped:            420 kB
Node 0 AnonPages:        5612 kB
Node 0 PageTables:        468 kB
Node 0 NFS_Unstable:        0 kB
Node 0 Bounce:              0 kB
Node 0 Slab:             5408 kB
Node 0 SReclaimable:      644 kB
Node 0 SUnreclaim:       4764 kB

After the patch (or using hashdist=1 on the kernel command line):

Node 0 MemTotal:      3407488 kB
Node 0 MemFree:       3247608 kB
Node 0 MemUsed:        159880 kB
Node 0 Active:           3012 kB
Node 0 Inactive:          616 kB
Node 0 Dirty:               0 kB
Node 0 Writeback:           0 kB
Node 0 FilePages:        2424 kB
Node 0 Mapped:            380 kB
Node 0 AnonPages:        1200 kB
Node 0 PageTables:        396 kB
Node 0 NFS_Unstable:        0 kB
Node 0 Bounce:              0 kB
Node 0 Slab:             6304 kB
Node 0 SReclaimable:     1596 kB
Node 0 SUnreclaim:       4708 kB

I guess it is a good idea to keep HASHDIST_DEFAULT "on" for x86_64 NUMA
since x86_64 has no dearth of vmalloc space?  Or maybe enable hash
distribution for all 64bit NUMA arches?  The following patch does it only
for x86_64.

I ran a HPC MPI benchmark -- 'Ansys wingsolid', which takes up quite a bit of
memory and uses up tlb entries.  This was on a 4 way, 2 socket
Tyan AMD box (non vsmp), with 8G total memory (4G pernode).

The results with and without hash distribution are:

1. Vanilla - runtime of 1188.000s
2. With hashdist=1 runtime of 1154.000s

Oprofile output for the duration of run is:
