This patch adds a quirk from LinuxBIOS to force enable HPET on the nVidia CK804 (nForce 4) chipset. This quirk can very likely support more than just nForce 4 (LinuxBIOS use the same code for nForce 5), and possibly nForce 3, but I don't have those chipsets, so cannot add and test them.

2007-10-24x86: fix more TSC clock source calibration errorsDave Johnson1-14/+20
The previous patch wasn't correctly handling the 'count' variable. If a CPU gave bad results on the 1st or 2nd run but good results on the 3rd, it wouldn't do the correct thing. No idea if any such CPU exists, but the patch below handles that case by discarding the bad runs. If a bad result (too quick, or too slow) occurs on any of the 3 runs it will be discarded. Also updated some comments to explain what's going on.

2007-10-24x86: fix TSC clock source calibration errorDave Johnson1-3/+2
I ran into this problem on a system that was unable to obtain NTP sync because the clock was running very slow (over 10000ppm slow). ntpd had declared all of its peers 'reject' with 'peer_dist' reason. On investigation, the tsc_khz variable was significantly incorrect causing xtime to run slow. After a reboot tsc_khz was correct so I did a reboot test to see how often the problem occurred: Test was done on a 2000 Mhz Xeon system. Of 689 reboots, 8 of them had unacceptable tsc_khz values (>500ppm): range of tsc_khz # of boots % of boots ---------------- ---------- ---------- < 1999750 0 0.000% 1999750 - 1999800 21 3.048% 1999800 - 1999850 166 24.128% 1999850 - 1999900 241 35.029% 1999900 - 1999950 211 30.669% 1999950 - 2000000 42 6.105% 2000000 - 2000000 0 0.000% 2000050 - 2000100 0 0.000% [...] 2000100 - 2015000 1 0.145% << BAD 2015000 - 2030000 6 0.872% << BAD 2030000 - 2045000 1 0.145% << BAD 2045000 < 0 0.000% The worst boot was 2032.577 Mhz, over 1.5% off! It appears that on rare occasions, mach_countup() is taking longer to complete than necessary. I suspect that this is caused by the CPU taking a periodic SMI interrupt right at the end of the 30ms calibration loop. This would cause the loop to delay while the SMI BIOS hander runs. The resulting TSC value is beyond what it actually should be resulting in a higher tsc_khz. The below patch makes native_calculate_cpu_khz() take the best (shortest duration, lowest khz) run of it's 3 calibration loops. If a SMI goes off causing a bad result (long duration, higher khz) it will be discarded. With the patch applied, 300 boots of the same system produce good results: range of tsc_khz # of boots % of boots ---------------- ---------- ---------- < 1999750 0 0.000% 1999750 - 1999800 30 10.000% 1999800 - 1999850 166 55.333% 1999850 - 1999900 89 29.667% 1999900 - 1999950 15 5.000% 1999950 < 0 0.000% Problem was found and tested against 2.6.18.

2007-10-23Revert lguest magic and use hook in head.SRusty Russell2-29/+5
Version 2.07 of the boot protocol uses 0x23C for the hardware_subarch field, that for lguest is "1". This allows us to use the standard boot entry point rather than the "GenuineLguest" string hack. The standard entry point also clears the BSS and copies the boot parameters and commandline for us, saving more code. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Lguest support for VirtioRusty Russell2-0/+26
This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2007-10-23Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell1-0/+1
These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

2007-10-23Boot with virtual == physical to get closer to native Linux.Rusty Russell3-10/+39
1) This allows us to get alot closer to booting bzImages. 2) It means we don't have to know page_offset. 3) The Guest needs to modify the boot pagetables to create the PAGE_OFFSET mapping before jumping to C code. 4) guest_pa() walks the page tables rather than using page_offset. 5) We don't use page_offset to figure out whether to emulate: it was always kinda quesationable, and won't work for instructions done before remapping (bzImage unpacking in particular). 6) We still want the kernel address for tlb flushing: have the initial hypercall give us that, too.

2007-10-23Allow guest to specify syscall vector to use.Rusty Russell1-0/+1

2007-10-22kexec: add BSS to resource treeBernhard Walle5-5/+33
Add the BSS to the resource tree just as kernel text and kernel data are in the resource tree. The main reason behind this is to avoid crashkernel reservation in that area. While it's not strictly necessary to have the BSS in the resource tree (the actual collision detection is done in the reserve_bootmem() function before), the usage of the BSS resource should be presented to the user in /proc/iomem just as Kernel data and Kernel code. Note: The patch currently is only implemented for x86 and ia64 (because efi_initialize_iomem_resources() has the same signature on i386 and ia64).

2007-10-22i386: paravirt boot sequenceRusty Russell4-6/+63
This patch uses the updated boot protocol to do paravirtualized boot. If the boot version is >= 2.07, then it will do two things: 1. Check the bootparams loadflags to see if we should reload the segment registers and clear interrupts. This is appropriate for normal native boot and some paravirtualized environments, but inapproprate for others. 2. Check the hardware architecture, and dispatch to the appropriate kernel entrypoint. If the bootloader doesn't set this, then we simply do the normal boot sequence.

2007-10-22update boot spec to 2.07Rusty Russell1-0/+7
Updates for version 2.07 of the boot protocol. This includes: load_flags.KEEP_SEGMENTS- flag to request/inhibit segment reloads hardware_subarch - what subarchitecture we're booting under hardware_subarch_data - per-architecture data The intention of these changes is to make booting a paravirtualized kernel work via the normal Linux boot protocol.
