[IA64] Delete __cpuinit usage from all ia64 users

2013-06-24T22:44:27+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the ia64 uses of the __cpuinit macros.

dump_stack: implement arch-specific hardware description in task dumps

2013-05-01T00:04:02+00:00

x86 and ia64 can acquire extra hardware identification information
from DMI and print it along with task dumps; however, the usage isn't
consistent.

* x86 show_regs() collects vendor, product and board strings and print
  them out with PID, comm and utsname.  Some of the information is
  printed again later in the same dump.

* warn_slowpath_common() explicitly accesses the DMI board and prints
  it out with "Hardware name:" label.  This applies to both x86 and
  ia64 but is irrelevant on all other archs.

* ia64 doesn't show DMI information on other non-WARN dumps.

This patch introduces arch-specific hardware description used by
dump_stack().  It can be set by calling dump_stack_set_arch_desc()
during boot and, if exists, printed out in a separate line with
"Hardware name:" label.

dmi_set_dump_stack_arch_desc() is added which sets arch-specific
description from DMI data.  It uses dmi_ids_string[] which is set from
dmi_present() used for DMI debug message.  It is superset of the
information x86 show_regs() is using.  The function is called from x86
and ia64 boot code right after dmi_scan_machine().

This makes the explicit DMI handling in warn_slowpath_common()
unnecessary.  Removed.

show_regs() isn't yet converted to use generic debug information
printing and this patch doesn't remove the duplicate DMI handling in
x86 show_regs().  The next patch will unify show_regs() handling and
remove the duplication.

An example WARN dump follows.

v2: Use the same string as the debug message from dmi_present() which
    also contains BIOS information.  Move hardware name into its own
    line as warn_slowpath_common() did.  This change was suggested by
    Bjorn Helgaas.

ia64 idle: delete pm_idle

pm_idle() on ia64 was a synonym for default_idle().
So simply invoke default_idle() directly.

arch/ia64: remove references to cpu_*_map

2012-03-29T00:14:36+00:00

This was marked as obsolete for quite a while now..  Now it is time to
remove it altogether.  And while doing this, get rid of first_cpu() as
well.  Also, remove the redundant setting of cpu_online_mask in
smp_prepare_cpus() because the generic code would have already set cpu 0
in cpu_online_mask.

[IA64] Merge overlapping reserved regions at boot

2011-12-09T23:06:42+00:00

While working on the upcoming SLES11 SP2, I ran into an issue with booting the
panic kernel on a kernel crash. In the first iteration I found out that the
initial register backing store gets overwritten with zeroes, causing a kernel
crash shortly afterwards.

Further investigation revealed that rsvd_region[] contains overlapping
entries: find_memmap_space() returns a pointer which lies between KERNEL_START
and _end. This is correct with the EFI memmap as patched by the kexec
purgatory code. That code removes vmlinux LOAD segments from the usable map,
but there is a pretty large hole between the gate section and the per-cpu
section.

This happens because reserve_memory() blindly marks [KERNEL_START, __end]
as reserved, even though there is a free block in the middle in the kexec
case because it noticed a large gap between sections and modified the
efi_memory_map to account for this.

crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn

2011-03-24T02:47:19+00:00

The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

[IA64] Initialize interrupts later (from init_IRQ())

2010-10-05T22:41:25+00:00

Thomas Gleixner is cleaning up the generic irq code, and ia64 ran
into problems because it calls register_intr() before early_irq_init()
is called.  Move the call to acpi_boot_init() from setup_arch() to
init_IRQ().

As a bonus - moving the call later means we no longer need the
hacks in iosapic.c to switch between the bootmem and regular
allocator - we can just used kzalloc() for allocation.

dma-mapping: unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations

2010-08-11T15:59:21+00:00

dma_get_cache_alignment returns the minimum DMA alignment.  Architectures
defines it as ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN (formally ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN).  So we
can unify dma_get_cache_alignment implementations.

Note that some architectures implement dma_get_cache_alignment wrongly.
dma_get_cache_alignment() should return the minimum DMA alignment.  So
fully-coherent architectures should return 1.  This patch also fixes this
issue.
