x86/rtc: Replace paravirt rtc check with platform legacy quirk

2016-04-22T08:29:01Z

We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC: * Intel MID * Lguest - uses paravirt * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can be dealt with separately. For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be to account for the lack of semantics available within your given x86_hardware_subarch. As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as follows: TOTAL TEXT init.text x86_early_init_platform_quirks() +70 +62 +62 +43 Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is all removed via __init.

x86: Store a per-cpu shadow copy of CR4

2015-02-04T11:10:42Z

Context switches and TLB flushes can change individual bits of CR4. CR4 reads take several cycles, so store a shadow copy of CR4 in a per-cpu variable. To avoid wasting a cache line, I added the CR4 shadow to cpu_tlbstate, which is already touched in switch_mm. The heaviest users of the cr4 shadow will be switch_mm and __switch_to_xtra, and __switch_to_xtra is called shortly after switch_mm during context switch, so the cacheline is likely to be hot.

intel_mid: Renamed mrst to intel_mid

2013-10-17T23:40:47Z

mrst is used as common name to represent all intel_mid type soc's. But moorsetwon is just one of the intel_mid soc. So renamed them to use intel_mid. This patch mainly renames the variables and related functions that uses *mrst* prefix with *intel_mid*. To ensure that there are no functional changes, I have compared the objdump of related files before and after rename and found the only difference is symbol and name changes.

x86: Merge early kernel reserve for 32bit and 64bit

2013-01-30T03:32:58Z

They are the same, and we could move them out from head32/64.c to setup.c. We are using memblock, and it could handle overlapping properly, so we don't need to reserve some at first to hold the location, and just need to make sure we reserve them before we are using memblock to find free mem to use.

x86, boot: Sanitize boot_params if not zeroed on creation

2013-01-29T09:22:17Z

Use the new sentinel field to detect bootloaders which fail to follow protocol and don't initialize fields in struct boot_params that they do not explicitly initialize to zero. Based on an original patch and research by Yinghai Lu. Changed by hpa to be invoked both in the decompression path and in the kernel proper; the latter for the case where a bootloader takes over decompression.

memblock: Kill memblock_init()

2011-12-08T18:22:07Z

memblock_init() initializes arrays for regions and memblock itself; however, all these can be done with struct initializers and memblock_init() can be removed. This patch kills memblock_init() and initializes memblock with struct initializer. The only difference is that the first dummy entries don't have .nid set to MAX_NUMNODES initially. This doesn't cause any behavior difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: Yinghai Lu Cc: Russell King Cc: Michal Simek Cc: Paul Mundt Cc: "David S.
