x86/timers: Move simple_udelay_calibration past init_hypervisor_platform

2017-05-26T11:04:09+00:00

This ensures that adjustments to x86_platform done by the hypervisor
setup is already respected by this simple calibration.

The current user of this, introduced by 1b5aeebf3a92 ("x86/earlyprintk:
Add support for earlyprintk via USB3 debug port"), comes much later
into play.

x86/boot/32: Fix UP boot on Quark and possibly other platforms

2017-05-09T06:14:24+00:00

This partially reverts commit:

  23b2a4ddebdd17f ("x86/boot/32: Defer resyncing initial_page_table until per-cpu is set up")

That commit had one definite bug and one potential bug.  The
definite bug is that setup_per_cpu_areas() uses a differnet generic
implementation on UP kernels, so initial_page_table never got
resynced.  This was fine for access to percpu data (it's in the
identity map on UP), but it breaks other users of
initial_page_table.  The potential bug is that helpers like
efi_init() would be called before the tables were synced.

Avoid both problems by just syncing the page tables in setup_arch()
*and* setup_per_cpu_areas().

Merge branch 'x86/boot' into x86/mm, to avoid conflict

2017-04-11T06:56:05+00:00

There's a conflict between ongoing level-5 paging support and
the E820 rewrite. Since the E820 rewrite is essentially ready,
merge it into x86/mm to reduce tree conflicts.

x86/boot/32: Defer resyncing initial_page_table until per-cpu is set up

2017-03-23T07:25:08+00:00

The x86 smpboot trampoline expects initial_page_table to have the
GDT mapped.  If the GDT ends up in a virtually mapped per-cpu page,
then it won't be in the page tables at all until perc-pu areas are
set up.  The result will be a triple fault the first time that the
CPU attempts to access the GDT after LGDT loads the perc-pu GDT.

This appears to be an old bug, but somehow the GDT fixmap rework
is triggering it.  This seems to have something to do with the
memory layout.

x86/earlyprintk: Add support for earlyprintk via USB3 debug port

2017-03-21T11:30:16+00:00

Add support for earlyprintk by writing debug messages to the
USB3 debug port. Users can use this type of early printk by
specifying the kernel parameter of "earlyprintk=xdbc". This
gives users a chance of providing debugging output.

The hardware for USB3 debug port requires DMA memory blocks.
This requires to delay setting up debugging hardware and
registering boot console until the memblocks are filled.

x86/timers: Add simple udelay calibration

2017-03-21T11:28:45+00:00

Add a simple udelay calibration in x86 architecture-specific
boot-time initializations. This will get a workable estimate
for loops_per_jiffy. Hence, udelay() could be used after this
initialization.
