2009-04-09x86, setup: "glove box" BIOS calls -- infrastructureH. Peter Anvin
Impact: new interfaces (not yet used) For all the platforms out there, there is an infinite number of buggy BIOSes. This adds infrastructure to treat BIOS interrupts more like toxic waste and "glove box" them -- we switch out the register set, perform the BIOS interrupt, and then restore the previous state.

Impact: fix build warnings and possibe compat misbehavior on IA64 Building a kernel on ia64 might trigger these ugly build warnings: CC arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.o In file included from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:55: arch/ia64/ia32/ia32priv.h:290:1: warning: "elf_check_arch" redefined In file included from include/linux/elf.h:7, from include/linux/module.h:14, from include/linux/ftrace.h:8, from include/linux/syscalls.h:68, from arch/ia64/ia32/sys_ia32.c:18: arch/ia64/include/asm/elf.h:19:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition [...] sys_ia32.c includes linux/syscalls.h which in turn includes linux/ftrace.h to import the syscalls tracing prototypes. But including ftrace.h can pull too much things for a low level file, especially on ia64 where the ia32 private headers conflict with higher level headers. Now we isolate the syscall tracing headers in their own lightweight file.

2009-04-09x86: consolidate SMP code in io_apic.cGary Hade
Impact: Cleanup Reorganizes the code in arch/x86/kernel/io_apic.c by combining two '#ifdef CONFIG_SMP' regions. In addition to making the code easier to understand the first '#ifdef CONFIG_SMP' region is moved to a location later in the file which will reduce the need for function forward declarations when the code subsequently revised. The only changes other than relocating code to a different position in the file were the removal of the assign_irq_vector() forward declaration which was no longer needed and some line length reduction formatting changes.

2009-04-07x86 ACPI: Add support for Always Running APIC timerVenkatesh Pallipadi
Add support for Always Running APIC timer, CPUID_0x6_EAX_Bit2. This bit means the APIC timer continues to run even when CPU is in deep C-states. The advantage is that we can use LAPIC timer on these CPUs always, and there is no need for "slow to read and program" external timers (HPET/PIT) and the timer broadcast logic and related code in C-state entry and exit.

2009-04-07x86, bts: fix race between per-task and per-cpu branch tracingMarkus Metzger
Per-task branch tracing installs a debug store context with the traced task. This immediately results in the branch trace control bits to be cleared for the next context switch of that task, if not set before. Either per-cpu or per-task tracing are allowed at the same time. An active per-cpu tracing would be disabled even if the per-task tracing request is rejected and the task debug store context removed. Check the tracing type (per-cpu or per-task) before installing a task debug store context.

2009-04-07x86, bts: wait until traced task has been scheduled outMarkus Metzger
In order to stop branch tracing for a running task, we need to first clear the branch tracing control bits before we may free the tracing buffer. If the traced task is running, the cpu might still trace that task after the branch trace control bits have cleared. Wait until the traced task has been scheduled out before proceeding. A similar problem affects the task debug store context. We first remove the context, then we need to wait until the task has been scheduled out before we can free the context memory.

2009-04-07mm, x86, ptrace, bts: defer branch trace stoppingMarkus Metzger
When a ptraced task is unlinked, we need to stop branch tracing for that task. Since the unlink is called with interrupts disabled, and we need interrupts enabled to stop branch tracing, we defer the work. Collect all branch tracing related stuff in a branch tracing context.

2009-04-07x86, bts: fix race when bts tracer is removedMarkus Metzger
When the bts tracer is removed while the traced task is running, the write to clear the bts tracer pointer races with context switch code. Read the tracer once during a context switch. When a new tracer is installed, the bts tracer is set in the ds context before the tracer is initialized in order to claim the context for that tracer. This may result in write accesses using an uninitialized trace configuration when scheduling timestamps have been requested. Store active tracing flags separately and only set active flags after the tracing configuration has been initialized.

2009-04-07perf_counter: theres more to overflow than writing eventsPeter Zijlstra
Prepare for more generic overflow handling. The new perf_counter_overflow() method will handle the generic bits of the counter overflow, and can return a !0 return value, in which case the counter should be (soft) disabled, so that it won't count until it's properly disabled.

2009-04-07perf_counter: x86: self-IPI for pending workPeter Zijlstra
Implement set_perf_counter_pending() with a self-IPI so that it will run ASAP in a usable context. For now use a second IRQ vector, because the primary vector pokes the apic in funny ways that seem to confuse things.
