* [PATCH] RTC: Remove RTC UIP synchronization on x86Matt Mackall2006-03-281-14/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reading the CMOS clock on x86 and some other arches currently takes up to one second because it synchronizes with the CMOS second tick-over. This delay shows up at boot time as well a resume time. This is the currently the most substantial boot time delay for machines that are working towards instant-on capability. Also, a quick back of the envelope calculation (.5sec * 2M users * 1 boot a day * 10 years) suggests it has cost Linux users in the neighborhood of a million man-hours. An earlier thread on this topic is here: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/8a24255215ff6151/2aa97e66a977653d?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26selm%3D1To2R-2S7-11%40gated-at.bofh.it#2aa97e66a977653d ..from which the consensus seems to be that it's no longer desirable. In my view, there are basically four cases to consider: 1) networked, need precise walltime: use NTP 2) networked, don't need precise walltime: use NTP anyway 3) not networked, don't need sub-second precision walltime: don't care 4) not networked, need sub-second precision walltime: get a network or a radio time source because RTC isn't good enough anyway So this patch series simply removes the synchronization in favor of a simple seqlock-like approach using the seconds value. Note that for purposes of timer accuracy on wakeup, this patch will cause us to fire timers up to one second late. But as the current timer resume code will already sync once (or more!), it's no worse for short timers. Signed-off-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Cc: "David S.

I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e. it missed converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm. While most of them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi doesn't appear to be.

* [PATCH] x86_64/i386: Remove preempt disable calls in lowlevel IPIZwane Mwaikambo2006-01-111-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I noticed that some lowlevel send_IPI_mask helpers had a hotplug/preempt race whereupon the cpu_online_map was read before disabling preemption; ... cpumask_t mask = cpu_online_map; int cpu = get_cpu(); cpu_clear(cpu, mask); ... But then i realised that there is no need for these lowlevel functions to be going through all this trouble when all the callers are already made hotplug/preempt safe.

* [PATCH] fix reboot via keyboard controller resetTruxton Fulton2005-09-091-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have a system (Biostar IDEQ210M mini-pc with a VIA chipset) which will not reboot unless a keyboard is plugged in to it. I have tried all combinations of the kernel "reboot=x,y" flags to no avail. Rebooting by any method will leave the system in a wedged state (at the "Restarting system" message). I finally tracked the problem down to the machine's refusal to fully reboot unless the keyboard controller status register had bit 2 set. This is the "System flag" which when set, indicates successful completion of the keyboard controller self-test (Basic Assurance Test, BAT). I suppose that something is trying to protect against sporadic reboots unless the keyboard controller is in a good state (a keyboard is present), but I need this machine to be headless. I found that setting the system flag (via the command byte) before giving the "pulse reset line" command will allow the reboot to proceed. The patch is simple, and I think it should be fine for everybody whether they have this type of machine or not. This affects the "hard" reboot (as done when the kernel boot flags "reboot=c,h" are used). Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] i386: Dont use IPI broadcast when using cpu hotplug.Ashok Raj2005-06-251-2/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast. When we enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill effects on a offline cpu. If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled, which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects. Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be switched at cmdline if necessary.

* [PATCH] Do not enforce unique IO_APIC_ID check for xAPIC systems (i386)Natalie Protasevich2005-06-231-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is per Andi's request to remove NO_IOAPIC_CHECK from genapic and use heuristics to prevent unique I/O APIC ID check for systems that don't need it. The patch disables unique I/O APIC ID check for Xeon-based and other platforms that don't use serial APIC bus for interrupt delivery. Andi stated that AMD systems don't need unique IO_APIC_IDs either.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-1621-0/+958
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!
