x86/centaur: merge 32 & 64 bit version

2009-03-14T15:27:29Z

there should be no difference, except: * the 64bit variant now also initializes the padlock unit. * ->c_early_init() is executed again from ->c_init() * the 64bit fixups made into 32bit path.

x86: cpu architecture debug code

2009-03-10T17:39:45Z

Introduce: cat /sys/kernel/debug/x86/cpu/* for Intel and AMD processors to view / debug the state of each CPU. By using this we can debug whole range of registers and other cpu information for debugging purpose and monitor how things are changing. This can be useful for developers as well as for users.

Fixed up trivial conflict in scripts/recordmcount.pl due to SH bits being already partly merged by the SH merge.

tracing/ftrace: don't trace on early stage of a secondary cpu boot, v3

2008-12-25T08:39:22Z

Impact: fix a crash/hard-reboot on certain configs while enabling cpu runtime On some archs, the boot of a secondary cpu can have an early fragile state. On x86-64, the pda is not initialized on the first stage of a cpu boot but it is needed to get the cpu number and the current task pointer. This data is needed during tracing. As they were dereferenced at this stage, we got a crash while tracing a cpu being enabled at runtime. Some other archs like ia64 can have such kind of issue too. Changes on v2: We dropped the previous solution of a per-arch called function to guess the current state of a cpu. That could slow down the tracing. This patch removes the -pg flag on arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c where the low level cpu boot functions exist, on start_secondary() and a helper function used at this stage.

x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisor

2008-11-02T01:57:08Z

Impact: Changes timebase calibration on Vmware. v3->v2 : Abstract the hypervisor detection and feature (tsc_freq) request behind a hypervisor.c file v2->v1 : Add a x86_hyper_vendor field to the cpuinfo_x86 structure. This avoids multiple calls to the hypervisor detection function. This patch adds function to detect if we are running under VMware. The current way to check if we are on VMware is following, # check if "hypervisor present bit" is set, if so read the 0x40000000 cpuid leaf and check for "VMwareVMware" signature. # if the above fails, check the DMI vendors name for "VMware" string if we find one we query the VMware hypervisor port to check if we are under VMware. The DMI + "VMware hypervisor port check" is needed for older VMware products, which don't implement the hypervisor signature cpuid leaf. Also note that since we are checking for the DMI signature the hypervisor port should never be accessed on native hardware. This patch also adds a hypervisor_get_tsc_freq function, instead of calibrating the frequency which can be error prone in virtualized environment, we ask the hypervisor for it. We get the frequency from the hypervisor by accessing the hypervisor port if we are running on VMware. Other hypervisors too can add code to the generic routine to get frequency on their platform.

x86: let intel 64-bit use intel.c

2008-09-10T06:21:05Z

now that arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_64.c and arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel.c are equal, drop arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_64.c and fix up the glue. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86: make 64 bit to use amd.c

2008-09-08T13:32:06Z

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd.c is now 100% identical to arch/x86/kernel/cpu/amd_64.c, so use amd.c on 64-bit too and fix up the namespace impact. Simplify the Kconfig glue as well. Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86: use cpu/common.c on 64 bit

2008-09-05T07:40:57Z

Use cpu/common.c on both 64-bit and 32-bit and remove cpu/common_64.c. We started out with this linecount: 816 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common_64.c 805 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/common.c and the resulting common.c is 1197 lines long, so there's already 424 lines of code eliminated in this phase of the unification.

x86: remove cpu_vendor_dev

2008-09-04T19:09:45Z

1. add c_x86_vendor into cpu_dev 2. change cpu_devs to static 3. check c_x86_vendor before put that cpu_dev into array 4. remove alignment for 64bit 5. order the sequence in cpu_devs according to link sequence... so could put intel at first, then amd...
