We reserve lowmem for the things that need it, like the ACPI

before we set up the proper pagetables, so set_memory_x() has no

Until we have a better solution, use an initcall to mark the

Since checkin ebba638ae7 we call
verify_cpu even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, calling a function
means using the stack, and the stack pointer was not initialized in
the 32-bit setup code! This code initializes the stack pointer, and
simplifies the interface slightly since it is easier to rely on just a
pointer value rather than a descriptor; we need to have different
values for the segment register anyway.
This retains start_stack as a virtual address, even though a physical
address would be more convenient for 32 bits; the 64-bit code wants
the other way around...

Clearing the cpu in prev's mm_cpumask early will avoid the flush tlb
IPI's while the cr3 is still pointing to the prev mm. And this window
can lead to the possibility of bogus TLB fills resulting in strange
failures. One such problematic scenario is mentioned below.
T1. CPU-1 is context switching from mm1 to mm2 context and got a NMI
etc between the point of clearing the cpu from the mm_cpumask(mm1)
and before reloading the cr3 with the new mm2.
T2. CPU-2 is tearing down a specific vma for mm1 and will proceed with
flushing the TLB for mm1. It doesn't send the flush TLB to CPU-1
as it doesn't see that cpu listed in the mm_cpumask(mm1).
T3. After the TLB flush is complete, CPU-2 goes ahead and frees the
page-table pages associated with the removed vma mapping.
T4. CPU-2 now allocates those freed page-table pages for something
else.
T5. As the CR3 and TLB caches for mm1 is still active on CPU-1, CPU-1
can potentially speculate and walk through the page-table caches
and can insert new TLB entries. As the page-table pages are
already freed and being used on CPU-2, this page walk can
potentially insert a bogus global TLB entry depending on the
(random) contents of the page that is being used on CPU-2.
T6. This bogus TLB entry being global will be active across future CR3
changes and can result in weird memory corruption etc.
To avoid this issue, for the prev mm that is handing over the cpu to
another mm, clear the cpu from the mm_cpumask(prev) after the cr3 is
changed.
Marking it for -stable, though we haven't seen any reported failure that
can be attributed to this.

Markus Kohn ran into a hard hang regression on an acer aspire
1310, when acpi is enabled. git bisect showed the following
commit as the bad one that introduced the boot regression.
commit d0af9eed5a
Author: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com>
Date: Wed Aug 19 18:05:36 2009 -0700
x86, pat/mtrr: Rendezvous all the cpus for MTRR/PAT init
Because of the UP configuration of that platform,
native_smp_prepare_cpus() bailed out (in smp_sanity_check())
before doing the set_mtrr_aps_delayed_init()
Further down the boot path, native_smp_cpus_done() will call the
delayed MTRR initialization for the AP's (mtrr_aps_init()) with
mtrr_aps_delayed_init not set. This resulted in the boot
processor reprogramming its MTRR's to the values seen during the
start of the OS boot. While this is not needed ideally, this
shouldn't have caused any side-effects. This is because the
reprogramming of MTRR's (set_mtrr_state() that gets called via
set_mtrr()) will check if the live register contents are
different from what is being asked to write and will do the actual
write only if they are different.
BP's mtrr state is read during the start of the OS boot and
typically nothing would have changed when we ask to reprogram it
on BP again because of the above scenario on an UP platform. So
on a normal UP platform no reprogramming of BP MTRR MSR's
happens and all is well.
However, on this platform, bios seems to be modifying the fixed
mtrr range registers between the start of OS boot and when we
double check the live registers for reprogramming BP MTRR
registers. And as the live registers are modified, we end up
reprogramming the MTRR's to the state seen during the start of
the OS boot.
During ACPI initialization, something in the bios (probably smi
handler?) don't like this fact and results in a hard lockup.
We didn't see this boot hang issue on this platform before the
commit d0af9eed5a, because only
the AP's (if any) will program its MTRR's to the value that BP
had at the start of the OS boot.
Fix this issue by checking mtrr_aps_delayed_init before
continuing further in the mtrr_aps_init(). Now, only AP's (if
any) will program its MTRR's to the BP values during boot.
Addresses https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=623393
[ By the way, this behavior of the bios modifying MTRR's after the start
of the OS boot is not common and the kernel is not prepared to
handle this situation well. Irrespective of this issue, during
suspend/resume, linux kernel will try to reprogram the BP's MTRR values
to the values seen during the start of the OS boot. So suspend/resume might
be already broken on this platform for all linux kernel versions. ]

This patch fixes some issues with raw event validation on
Pentium 4 (Netburst) based processors.
As I was testing libpfm4 Netburst support, I ran into two
problems in the p4_validate_raw_event() function:
- the shared field must be checked ONLY when HT is on
- the binding to ESCR register was missing
The second item was causing raw events to not be encoded
correctly compared to generic PMU events.
With this patch, I can now pass Netburst events to libpfm4
examples and get meaningful results:
$ task -e global_power_events🏃u noploop 1
noploop for 1 seconds

With this patch, the cpuidle driver does not load and
does not issue the mwait operations. Instead the hypervisor
is doing them (b/c we call the safe_halt pvops call).
This fixes quite a lot of bootup issues wherein the user had
to force interrupts for the continuation of the bootup.

Under Dell Inspiron 1525, and Intel SandyBridge SDP's the
BIOS e820 RAM is not page-aligned:
[ 0.000000] Xen: 0000000000100000 - 00000000df66d800 (usable)
We were not handling that and ended up setting up a pagetable
that included up to df66e000 with the disastrous effect that when
memset(NODE_DATA(nodeid), 0, sizeof(pg_data_t));
tried to clear the page it would crash at the 2K mark.
Initially reported by Michael Young @
http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-01/msg00108.html
The fix is to page-align the size and also take into consideration
the start of the E820 (in case that is not page-aligned either). This
fixes the bootup failure on those affected machines.
This patch is a rework of the Micheal A Young initial patch and
considers the case if the start is not page-aligned.

bp = stack_frame(task, regs);

You'll notice that we assign to 'stack' the address of the variable
'dummy' which is only in-scope inside the 'if (!stack)'. So when we later
access stack (at the end of the above, and assuming we did not take the
'if (task && task != current)' branch) we'll be using the address of a
variable that is no longer in scope. I believe this patch is the proper
fix, but I freely admit that I'm not 100% certain.

After changing the p2m mapping to a tree by
commit 58e05027b5
xen: convert p2m to a 3 level tree
and trying to boot a DomU with 615MB of memory, the following crash was
observed in the dump:
kernel direct mapping tables up to 26f00000 @ 1ec4000-1fff000
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c0107397>] xen_set_pte+0x27/0x60
*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
Adding further debug statements showed that when trying to set up
pfn=0x26700 the returned mapping was invalid.
pfn=0x266ff calling set_pte(0xc1fe77f8, 0x6b3003)
pfn=0x26700 calling set_pte(0xc1fe7800, 0x3)
Although the last_pfn obtained from the startup info is 0x26700, which
should in turn not be hit, the additional 8MB which are added as extra
memory normally seem to be ok. This lead to looking into the initial
p2m tree construction, which uses the smaller value and assuming that
there is other code handling the extra memory.
When the p2m tree is set up, the leaves are directly pointed to the
array which the domain builder set up. But if the mapping is not on a
boundary that fits into one p2m page, this will result in the last leaf
being only partially valid. And as the invalid entries are not
initialized in that case, things go badly wrong.
I am trying to fix that by checking whether the current leaf is a
complete map and if not, allocate a completely new page and copy only
the valid pointers there. This may not be the most efficient or elegant
solution, but at least it seems to allow me booting DomUs with memory
assignments all over the range.

can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they

During early boot, local IRQ is disabled until IRQ subsystem is
properly initialized. During this time, no one should enable
local IRQ and some operations which usually are not allowed with
IRQ disabled, e.g. operations which might sleep or require
communications with other processors, are allowed.
lockdep tracked this with early_boot_irqs_off/on() callbacks.
As other subsystems need this information too, move it to
init/main.c and make it generally available. While at it,
toggle the boolean to early_boot_irqs_disabled instead of
enabled so that it can be initialized with %false and %true
indicates the exceptional condition.

[ Note, this update of the doc has removed some old values which
we have listed. I think until we have clarification that they
were never used in production, they should be left there. ]

In order to be able to suppress the use of SRAT tables that
32-bit Linux can't deal with (in one case known to lead to a
non-bootable system, unless disabling ACPI altogether), move the
"numa=" option handling to common code.

This reverts commit 86b1e8dd83 ("x86: Make relocatable kernel work with
new binutils").
Markus Trippelsdorf reported a boot failure caused by this patch.
The real solution to the original patch will likely involve an
arch-generic solution to define an overlaid jiffies_64 and jiffies
variables.
Until that's done and tested on all architectures revert this commit to
solve the regression.

The CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y option is broken with new binutils, which will make
boot panic.
According to Lu Hongjiu, the affected binutils are from 2.20.51.0.12 to
2.21.51.0.3, which are release since Oct 22 this year. At least ubuntu 10.10 is
using such binutils. See:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12327
The reason of the boot panic is that we have 'jiffies = jiffies_64;' in
vmlinux.lds.S. The jiffies isn't in any section. In kernel build, there is
warning saying jiffies is an absolute address and can't be relocatable. At
runtime, jiffies will have virtual address 0.
