efi: Print the secure boot status in x86 setup_arch()

2017-02-07T09:42:10+00:00

Print the secure boot status in the x86 setup_arch() function, but otherwise do
nothing more for now. More functionality will be added later, but this at
least allows for testing.

mm: remove x86-only restriction of movable_node

2016-12-13T02:55:07+00:00

In commit c5320926e370 ("mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot
option"), the memblock allocation direction is changed to bottom-up and
then back to top-down like this:

1. memblock_set_bottom_up(true), called by cmdline_parse_movable_node().
2. memblock_set_bottom_up(false), called by x86's numa_init().

Even though (1) occurs in generic mm code, it is wrapped by #ifdef
CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which depends on X86_64.

This means that when we extend CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE to non-x86 arches,
things will be unbalanced.  (1) will happen for them, but (2) will not.

This toggle was added in the first place because x86 has a delay between
adding memblocks and marking them as hotpluggable.  Since other arches
do this marking either immediately or not at all, they do not require
the bottom-up toggle.

So, resolve things by moving (1) from cmdline_parse_movable_node() to
x86's setup_arch(), immediately after the movable_node parameter has
been parsed.

x86/smpboot: Init apic mapping before usage

2016-10-29T12:00:46+00:00

The recent changes, which forced the registration of the boot cpu on UP
systems, which do not have ACPI tables, have been fixed for systems w/o
local APIC, but left a wreckage for systems which have neither ACPI nor
mptables, but the CPU has an APIC, e.g. virtualbox.

The boot process crashes in prefill_possible_map() as it wants to register
the boot cpu, which needs to access the local apic, but the local APIC is
not yet mapped.

There is no reason why init_apic_mapping() can't be invoked before
prefill_possible_map(). So instead of playing another silly early mapping
game, as the ACPI/mptables code does, we just move init_apic_mapping()
before the call to prefill_possible_map().

In hindsight, I should have noticed that combination earlier.

Sorry for the churn (also in stable)!

x86/asm: Get rid of __read_cr4_safe()

2016-09-30T10:40:12+00:00

We use __read_cr4() vs __read_cr4_safe() inconsistently.  On
CR4-less CPUs, all CR4 bits are effectively clear, so we can make
the code simpler and more robust by making __read_cr4() always fix
up faults on 32-bit kernels.

This may fix some bugs on old 486-like CPUs, but I don't have any
easy way to test that.
