This reverts commit 94985134b7 and
insteads removes the WARN_ON() that caused that commit in the first
place.
The problem is that we call disable_nonboot_cpus() in swsusp before
powering down the system in order to avoid triggering the WARN_ON()
in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping() and this doesn't
work well on Thomas' system.
So instead, remove the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:
init_low_mapping(), which triggers every time during the suspend to disk
in the platform mode, as the potential problem it is related to doesn't
seem to occur in practice.
[ I think we might want to disallow the case of multiple users of that
mm, or something. Normally, playing with the current process page
tables on the current CPU should be fine as long as we don't have
other threads using those tables at the same time..

Ray Lee reported, that on an UP kernel with "noapic" command line option
set, the box locks hard during boot.
Adding some debug printks revealed, that the last action on the box
before stalling was "Send IPI" - a debug printk which was put into
smp_send_timer_broadcast_ipi().
It seems that send_IPI_mask(mask, LOCAL_TIMER_VECTOR) fails when
"noapic" is set on the command line on an UP kernel.
Aside of that it does not make much sense to trigger an interrupt
instead of calling the function directly on the CPU which gets the
PIT/HPET interrupt in case of broadcasting.

Instead here we have:

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426
The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.
It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.
Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).
This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.

When removing set_native_irq I missed the fact that it was
called in a couple of places that were compiled even when
SMP support is disabled. And since the irq_desc[].affinity
field only exists in SMP things broke.
Thanks to Simon Arlott <simon@arlott.org> for spotting this.
There are a couple of ways to fix this but the simplest one
is to just remove the assignments. The affinity field is only
used to display a value to the user, and nothing on either i386
or x86_64 reads it or depends on it being any particlua value,
so skipping the assignment is safe. The assignment that
is being removed is just for the initial affinity value before
the user explicitly sets it. The irq_desc array initializes
this field to CPU_MASK_ALL so the field is initialized to
a reasonable value in the SMP case without being set.

The problem: After moving an interrupt when is it safe to teardown
the data structures for receiving the interrupt at the old location?
With a normal pci device it is possible to issue a read to a device
to flush all posted writes. This does not work for the oldest ioapics
because they are on a 3-wire apic bus which is a completely different
data path. For some more modern ioapics when everything is using
front side bus delivery you can flush interrupts by simply issuing a
read to the ioapic. For other modern ioapics emperical testing has
shown that this does not work.
So it appears the only reliable way to know the last of the irqs from an
ioapic have been received from before the ioapic was reprogrammed is to
received the first irq from the ioapic from after it was reprogrammed.
Once we know the last irq message has been received from an ioapic
into a local apic we then need to know that irq message has been
processed through the local apics.

There was OpenVZ specific bug rendering some cpufreq drivers unusable on SMP.
In short, when cpufreq code thinks it confined itself to needed cpu by means
of set_cpus_allowed() to execute rdmsr, some "virtual cpu" feature can migrate
process to anywhere. This triggers bugons and does wrong things in general.
This got fixed by introducing rdmsr_on_cpu and wrmsr_on_cpu executing rdmsr

wrmsr_on_cpu(), so I'm putting them into arch/{i386,x86_64}/lib/ .

Never mask interrupts immediately upon request. Disabling interrupts in
high-performance codepaths is rare, and on the other hand this change could
recover lost edges (or even other types of lost interrupts) by conservatively
only masking interrupts after they happen. (NOTE: with this change the
highlevel irq-disable code still soft-disables this IRQ line - and if such an
interrupt happens then the IRQ flow handler keeps the IRQ masked.)

make the TSC synchronization code more robust, and unify it between x86_64 and
i386.
The biggest change is the removal of the 'fix up TSCs' code on x86_64 and
i386, in some rare cases it was /causing/ time-warps on SMP systems.
The new code only checks for TSC asynchronity - and if it can prove a
time-warp (if it can observe the TSC going backwards when going from one CPU
to another within a critical section), then the TSC clock-source is turned
off.
The TSC synchronization-checking code also got moved into a separate file.

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.
I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.
So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.
