| | * | x86: Hypervisor detection and get tsc_freq from hypervisorAlok Kataria2008-11-011-0/+2
| |/ / |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

Unfortunately, voyager has never initialised this, although the only noticeable impact seems to be that /proc/cpuinfo shows all zeros for the processor ids. Anyway, fix this by initialising the boot CPU properly and setting the index when the secondaries update.

* x86: do not allow to optimize flag_is_changeable_p() (rev. 2)Krzysztof Helt2008-10-131-12/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The flag_is_changeable_p() is used by has_cpuid_p() which can return different results in the code sequence below: if (!have_cpuid_p()) identify_cpu_without_cpuid(c); /* cyrix could have cpuid enabled via c_identify()*/ if (!have_cpuid_p()) return; Otherwise, the gcc 3.4.6 optimizes these two calls into one which make the code not working correctly. Cyrix cpus have the CPUID instruction enabled before the second call to the have_cpuid_p() but it is not detected due to the gcc optimization. Thus the ARR registers (mtrr like) are not detected on such a cpu. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Completely disable NOPL on 32 bits. It turns out that Microsoft Virtual PC is so broken it can't even reliably *fail* in the presence of NOPL. This leaves the infrastructure in place but disables it unconditionally. Signed-off-by: H.
