* x86: earlyprintk: Fix regression to handle serial,ttySn as 1 argJason Wessel2009-10-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c953094 ("early_printk: Allow more than one early console") introduced a regression in the parsing of the earlyprintk= kernel arguments. If you specify "earlyprintk=serial,ttyS0,115200" as a kernel argument, the "serial,ttyS" should be parsed as a single argument and not as "serial" and then "ttyS". Also update the documentation to reflect you can specify the ttyS directly without the "serial" argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling. As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path and just do it in assembly. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
* | | MIPS: Loongson: Add a machtype kernel command line argumentWu Zhangjin2009-09-171-0/+4
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The difference between some loongson-based machines is very small, so, if there is no necessary to add new kernel config options to cope with this difference, it will be better to share the same kernel image file between them, benefit from this, the linux distribution developers only have a need to compile the kernel one time. This machtype kernel command line argument will be used later to share the same kernel image file between two different machines(menglong & yeeloong) made by lemote. Thanks very much to Zhang Le for cleaning up the machtype implementation. Signed-off-by: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more data. This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing. While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also, kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized quite some time ago.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch adds kernel parameter intel_iommu=pt to set up pass through mode in context mapping entry. This disables DMAR in linux kernel; but KVM still runs on VT-d and interrupt remapping still works. In this mode, kernel uses swiotlb for DMA API functions but other VT-d functionalities are enabled for KVM. KVM always uses multi level translation page table in VT-d. By default, pass though mode is disabled in kernel. This is useful when people don't want to enable VT-d DMAR in kernel but still want to use KVM and interrupt remapping for reasons like DMAR performance concern or debug purpose.

This patch will enable/disable ECRC checking by setting/clearing the ECRC Check Enable and/or ECRC Generation Enable bits for devices that support ECRC. The ECRC setting is controlled by the "pci=ecrc=<policy>" command-line option. If this option is not set or is set to 'bios", the enable and generation bits are left in whatever state that firmware/BIOS set them to. The "off" setting turns them off, and the "on" option turns them on (if the device supports it). Turning ECRC on or off can be a data integrity versus performance tradeoff. In theory, turning it on will catch more data errors, turning it off means possibly better performance since CRC does not need to be calculated by the PCIe hardware and packet sizes are reduced.

The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).

Especially during development, disabling the screen saver can be handy - for example when debugging the root fs mount mechanism or other scenarios where no userspace program could be started to do that at runtime from userspace. This patch defines a core_param for the variable in charge which allows users to entirely disable the blank feature at boot time by setting it 0. The value can still be overwritten at runtime using the standard ioctl call - this just allows to conditionally change the default.
