x86: delete __cpuinit usage from all x86 files

2013-07-14T23:36:56+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.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/x86 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  x86 only had the one __CPUINIT used in assembly files,
and it wasn't paired off with a .previous or a __FINIT, so we can
delete it directly w/o any corresponding additional change there.

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.

x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low

2013-04-17T19:35:33+00:00

Per hpa, use crashkernel=X,high crashkernel=Y,low instead of
crashkernel_hign=X crashkernel_low=Y. As that could be extensible.

-v2: according to Vivek, change delimiter to ;
-v3: let hign and low only handle simple form and it conforms to
	description in kernel-parameters.txt
     still keep crashkernel=X override any crashkernel=X,high
        crashkernel=Y,low
-v4: update get_last_crashkernel returning and add more strict
     checking in parse_crashkernel_simple() found by HATAYAMA.
-v5: Change delimiter back to , according to HPA.
     also separate parse_suffix from parse_simper according to vivek.
	so we can avoid @pos in that path.
-v6: Tight the checking about crashkernel=X,highblahblah,high
     found by HTYAYAMA.

x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M

2013-04-17T19:35:33+00:00

Vivek found old kexec-tools does not work new kernel anymore.

So change back crashkernel= back to old behavoir, and add crashkernel_high=
to let user decide if buffer could be above 4G, and also new kexec-tools will
be needed.

-v2: let crashkernel=X override crashkernel_high=
    update description about _high will be ignored by crashkernel=X
-v3: update description about kernel-parameters.txt according to Vivek.

x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically

2013-04-17T19:35:32+00:00

Chao said that kdump does does work well on his system on 3.8
without extra parameter, even iommu does not work with kdump.
And now have to append crashkernel_low=Y in first kernel to make
kdump work.

We have now modified crashkernel=X to allocate memory beyong 4G (if
available) and do not allocate low range for crashkernel if the user
does not specify that with crashkernel_low=Y.  This causes regression
if iommu is not enabled.  Without iommu, swiotlb needs to be setup in
first 4G and there is no low memory available to second kernel.

Set crashkernel_low automatically if the user does not specify that.

For system that does support IOMMU with kdump properly, user could
specify crashkernel_low=0 to save that 72M low ram.

-v3: add swiotlb_size() according to Konrad.
-v4: add comments what 8M is for according to hpa.
     also update more crashkernel_low= in kernel-parameters.txt
-v5: update changelog according to Vivek.
-v6: Change description about swiotlb referring according to HATAYAMA.
