2008-01-30x86: change write msr functions interfaceGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patche changes the native_write_msr() and friends interface to explicitly take 2 32-bit registers instead of a 64-bit value. The change will ease the merge with 64-bit code. As the 64-bit value will be passed as two registers anyway in i386, the PVOP_CALL interface has to account for that and use low/high parameters It would force the x86_64 version to be different. The change does not make i386 generated code less efficient. As said above, it would get the values from two registers anyway.

2008-01-30x86: change rdpmc interfaceGlauber de Oliveira Costa
the rdpmc instruction gets a counter argument in rcx. However, the i386 version was ignoring it. To make both x86_64 and i386 versions the same, as well as to comply with the instruction semantics, this parameter is added in the i386 version Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: introduce native_read_tscpGlauber de Oliveira Costa
Targetting paravirt, this patch introduces native_read_tscp, in place of rdtscp() macro. When in a paravirt guest, this will involve a function call, and thus, cannot be done in the vdso area. These users then have to call the native version directly Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: unify cpuid functionsGlauber de Oliveira Costa
cpuid is not very different between i386 and x86_64. We move away the x86_64 version from msr.h, and unify them at processor.h, where they belong. cpuid() paravirt then comes for free.

2008-01-30x86: split get_cycles_syncGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch splits get_cycles_sync() into __get_cycles_sync(), and the rdtscll part. Paravirt guests cannot issue rdtscl directly, as it involves a function call in vdso area. So, using the __get_cycles_sync() base, we introduce vget_cycles_sync, which then calls the native version of rdtscll. Ideally, however, a guest should define its own clocksource, together with a vread function Signed-off-by: Glauber de Oliveira Costa <gcosta@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
2008-01-30x86: allow sched clock to be overridden by paravirtGlauber de Oliveira Costa
This patch turns the sched_clock into native_sched_clock. sched clock becomes a weak symbol, which can then give its place to a paravirt definition.

2008-01-30x86: wipe out traditional opt from x86_64 MakefileGlauber de Oliveira Costa
Among other things, using -traditional as a gcc option stops us from using macro token pasting, which is a feature we heavily rely on. There was still a use of -traditional in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile_64, which this patch removes. I don't see any problems building kernels in my x86_64 box without -traditional.

2008-01-30x86: 32-bit IOAPIC: de-fang IRQ compressionLen Brown
commit c434b7a6aedfe428ad17cd61b21b125a7b7a29ce (x86: avoid wasting IRQs for PCI devices) created a concept of "IRQ compression" on i386 to conserve IRQ numbers on systems with many sparsely populated IO APICs. The same scheme was also added to x86_64, but later removed when x86_64 recieved an IRQ over-haul that made it unnecessary -- including per-CPU IRQ vectors that greatly increased the IRQ capacity on the machine. i386 has not received the analogous over-haul, and thus a previous attempt to delete IRQ compression from i386 was rejected on the theory that there may exist machines that actually need it. The fact is that the author of IRQ compression patch was unable to confirm the actual existence of such a system. As a result, all i386 kernels with IOAPIC support pay the following: 1. confusion IRQ compression re-names the traditional IOAPIC pin numbers (aka ACPI GSI's) into sequential IRQ #s: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.0[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.1[B] -> GSI 21 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.2[C] -> GSI 22 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.3[D] -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1c.4[A] -> GSI 20 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 This makes /proc/interrupts look different depending on system configuration and device probe order. It is also different than the x86_64 kernel running on the exact same system. As a result, programmers get confused when comparing systems. 2. complexity The IRQ code in Linux is already overly complex, and IRQ compression makes it worse. There have already been two bug workarounds related to IRQ compression -- the IRQ0 timer workaround and the VIA PCI IRQ workaround. 3. size All i386 kernels with IOAPIC support contain an int[4096] -- a 4 page array to contain the renamed IRQs. So while the irq compression code on i386 should really be deleted -- even before merging the x86_64 irq-overhaul, this patch simply disables it on all high volume systems to avoid problems #1 and #2 on most all i386 systems. A large system with pin numbers >=64 will still have compression to conserve limited IRQ numbers for sparse IOAPICS. However, the vast majority of the planet, those with only pin numbers < 64 will use an identity GSI -> IRQ mapping.

2008-01-30x86: partial unification of asm-x86/bitops.hJeremy Fitzhardinge
This unifies the set/clear/test bit functions of asm/bitops.h. I have not attempted to merge the bit-finding functions, since they rely on the machine word size and can't be easily restructured to work generically without a lot of #ifdefs. In particular, the 64-bit code can assume the presence of conditional move instructions, whereas 32-bit needs to be more careful. The inline assembly for the bit operations has been changed to remove explicit sizing hints on the instructions, so the assembler will pick the appropriate instruction forms depending on the architecture and the context.
