[PATCH] vmlinux.lds: consolidate initcall sections

2006-10-27T22:34:51Z

Add a vmlinux.lds.h helper macro for defining the eight-level initcall table, teach all the architectures to use it. This is a prerequisite for a patch which performs initcall synchronisation for multithreaded-probing.

[IA64] MCA recovery: kernel context recovery table

2006-03-24T17:49:52Z

Memory errors encountered by user applications may surface when the CPU is running in kernel context. The current code will not attempt recovery if the MCA surfaces in kernel context (privilage mode 0). This patch adds a check for cases where the user initiated the load that surfaces in kernel interrupt code. An example is a user process lauching a load from memory and the data in memory had bad ECC. Before the bad data gets to the CPU register, and interrupt comes in. The code jumps to the IVT interrupt entry point and begins execution in kernel context. The process of saving the user registers (SAVE_REST) causes the bad data to be loaded into a CPU register, triggering the MCA. The MCA surfaces in kernel context, even though the load was initiated from user context. As suggested by David and Tony, this patch uses an exception table like approach, puting the tagged recovery addresses in a searchable table. One difference from the exception table is that MCAs do not surface in precise places (such as with a TLB miss), so instead of tagging specific instructions, address ranges are registers. A single macro is used to do the tagging, with the input parameter being the label of the starting address and the macro being the ending address. This limits clutter in the code. This patch only tags one spot, the interrupt ivt entry. Testing showed that spot to be a "heavy hitter" with MCAs surfacing while saving user registers. Other spots can be added as needed by adding a single macro. Signed-off-by: Russ Anderson (rja@sgi.com) Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[IA64] move patchlist and machvec into init section

2006-03-23T00:55:05Z

ia64_mv is initialized based on platform detected or specified. However, there is one instantiation of each platform type. We don't expect to switch platform vector during run time. Move those platform specific type into init section since a copy is made into global ia64_mv at initialization. Also move instruction patch list into init section as well.

[IA64] Add __read_mostly support for IA64

2005-12-16T18:52:46Z

sparc64, i386 and x86_64 have support for a special data section dedicated to rarely updated data that is frequently read. The section was created to avoid false sharing of those rarely read data with frequently written kernel data. This patch creates such a data section for ia64 and will group rarely written data into this section. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Tony Luck

[PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse kprobe on ivt code

2005-06-27T22:23:54Z

Not safe to insert kprobes on IVT code. This patch checks to see if the address on which Kprobes is being inserted is in ivt code and if it is in ivt code then refuse to register kprobe.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
