We think there exists a bug in the HPET code that emulates the RTC.
In the normal case, when the RTC frequency is set, the rtc driver tells
the hpet code about it here:
int hpet_set_periodic_freq(unsigned long freq)
{
uint64_t clc;
if (!is_hpet_enabled())
return 0;
if (freq <= DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ)
hpet_pie_limit = DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ / freq;
else {
clc = (uint64_t) hpet_clockevent.mult * NSEC_PER_SEC;
do_div(clc, freq);
clc >>= hpet_clockevent.shift;
hpet_pie_delta = (unsigned long) clc;
}
return 1;
}
If freq is set to 64Hz (DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ) or lower, then
hpet_pie_limit (a static) is set to non-zero. Then, on every one-shot
HPET interrupt, hpet_rtc_timer_reinit is called to compute the next
timeout. Well, that function has this logic:
if (!(hpet_rtc_flags & RTC_PIE) || hpet_pie_limit)
delta = hpet_default_delta;
else
delta = hpet_pie_delta;
Since hpet_pie_limit is not 0, hpet_default_delta is used. That
corresponds to 64Hz.
Now, if you set a different rtc frequency, you'll take the else path
through hpet_set_periodic_freq, but unfortunately no one resets
hpet_pie_limit back to 0.
Boom....now you are stuck with 64Hz RTC interrupts forever.
The patch below just resets the hpet_pie_limit value when requested freq
is greater than DEFAULT_RTC_INT_FREQ, which we think fixes this problem.

This is a chipset erratum.
Thomas: You mentioned we can retain this check only for known-buggy and
hpet debug kind of options. But here is the simple workaround patch for
this particular erratum.
Some chipsets have a erratum due to which read immediately following a
write of HPET comparator returns old comparator value instead of most
recently written value.
Erratum 15 in
"Intel I/O Controller Hub 9 (ICH9) Family Specification Update"
(http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/specupdate/316973.pdf)
Workaround for the errata is to read the comparator twice if the first
one fails.

We found a system where the MP table MPC and MPF structures overlap.
That doesn't really matter because the mptable is not used anyways with ACPI,
but it leads to a panic in the early allocator due to the overlapping
reservations in 2.6.33.
Earlier kernels handled this without problems.
Simply change these reservations to reserve_early_overlap_ok to avoid
the panic.

root cause is: the e820_remove_range doesn't handle the all covered

produces a bogus range as a result.
Make it match e820_update_range() by handling that case too.

When CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM=y, it could use memory more effiently, or
in a more compact fashion.
Example:
Allocated new RAMDISK: 00ec2000 - 0248ce57
Move RAMDISK from 000000002ea04000 - 000000002ffcee56 to 00ec2000 - 0248ce56
The new RAMDISK's end is not page aligned.
Last page could be shared with other users.
When free_init_pages are called for initrd or .init, the page
could be freed and we could corrupt other data.
code segment in free_init_pages():
| for (; addr < end; addr += PAGE_SIZE) {
| ClearPageReserved(virt_to_page(addr));
| init_page_count(virt_to_page(addr));
| memset((void *)(addr & ~(PAGE_SIZE-1)),
| POISON_FREE_INITMEM, PAGE_SIZE);
| free_page(addr);
| totalram_pages++;
| }
last half page could be used as one whole free page.
So page align the boundaries.
-v2: make the original initramdisk to be aligned, according to
Johannes, otherwise we have the chance to lose one page.
we still need to keep initrd_end not aligned, otherwise it could
confuse decompressor.
-v3: change to WARN_ON instead, suggested by Johannes.
-v4: use PAGE_ALIGN, suggested by Johannes.
We may fix that macro name later to PAGE_ALIGN_UP, and PAGE_ALIGN_DOWN
Add comments about assuming ramdisk start is aligned
in relocate_initrd(), change to re get ramdisk_image instead of save it
to make diff smaller. Add warning for wrong range, suggested by Johannes.
-v6: remove one WARN()
We need to align beginning in free_init_pages()
do not copy more than ramdisk_size, noticed by Johannes

Yanko's GA-MA78GM-S2H (BIOS F11) reports the following resource in a PCI
host bridge _CRS:
[07] 32-Bit DWORD Address Space Resource
Min Relocatability : MinFixed
Max Relocatability : MaxFixed
Address Minimum : CFF00000 (_MIN)
Address Maximum : FEBFFFFF (_MAX)
Address Length : 3EE10000 (_LEN)
This is invalid per spec (ACPI 4.0, 6.4.3.5) because it's a fixed size,
fixed location descriptor, but _LEN != _MAX - _MIN + 1.
Based on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480#c15, I think
Windows handles this by truncating the window so it fits between _MIN and
_MAX. I also verified this by modifying the SeaBIOS DSDT and booting
Windows 2008 R2 with qemu.
This patch makes Linux truncate the window, too, which fixes:

To save the registers for all CPUs a sigp "store status" is done that
stores the registers to address absolute zero. To access storage at
absolute zero, normally the address of the prefix register of the
accessing CPU has to be used. This does not work when large pages are
active (currently only under LPAR). In order to fix that problem,
instead of memcpy memcpy_real is used, which switches to real mode
where prefixing works.

The function locomo_m62332_senddata sends a three byte i2c message to
a M62332 DAC. This entire function is guarded with a spin_lock_irqsave
at the start of the function and a spin_unlock_irqrestore at the end.
As each byte is transferred, the i2c ACK from the DAC is checked.
Currently, if the ACK is missing the function simply returns without
the unlock. It also leaves the i2c bus in an invalid state since the
last byte transferred did not have a "stop" condition and leave the
bus idle.
Fix this by adding an exit path using goto.

The locomo spi registers are all defined in locomo.h as offsets
from the first spi register LOCOMO_SPI (0x60), which is itself
an offset from the locomo base address. To correctly access
these registers LOCOMO_SPI must always be included in the
address calculation.
There are two places in locomo.c where this is not done. The
first one, in locomo_suspend, actually results in a write to
LOCOMO_ST instead of LOCOMO_SPICT. The second is in __locomo_probe
and results in a write to LOCOMO_MCSX2 instead of LOCOMO_SPIIE.

The description says:
Cause IO segments sent to a device for DMA to be merged virtually
by the IOMMU when they happen to have been allocated contiguously.
This doesn't add pressure to the IOMMU allocator. However, some
drivers don't support getting large merged segments coming back
from *_map_sg().
Most drivers don't have this problem; it is safe to say Y here.
It's out of date. Long ago, drivers didn't have a way to tell IOMMUs
about their segment length limit (that is, the maximum segment length
that they can handle). So IOMMUs merged as many segments as possible
and gave too large segments to drivers.
dma_get_max_seg_size() was introduced to solve the above
problem. Device drives can use the API to tell IOMMU about the maximum
segment length that they can handle. In addition, the default limit
(64K) should be safe for everyone.
So this config option seems to be unnecessary.
Note that this config option just enables users to disable the virtual
merging by default. Users can still disable the virtual merging by the
boot parameter.

powerpc initializes swiotlb before parsing the kernel boot options so
swiotlb options (e.g. specifying the swiotlb buffer size) are ignored.
Any time before freeing bootmem works for swiotlb so this patch moves
powerpc's swiotlb initialization after parsing the kernel boot
options, mem_init (as x86 does).
