Jeff Dike 70e0eb8ef1 [PATCH] Split i386 and x86_64 ptrace.h
The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by
x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML
includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the
x86 segment definitions.

Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the
userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into
ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h.  Thus, there is no net
effect on i386.

As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable
in /usr/include.

x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency.  There was some trailing
whitespace there, which is cleaned up.

Rafael J. Wysocki e8eff5ac29 [PATCH] Make swsusp avoid memory holes and reserved memory regions on x86_64
On x86_64 machines with more than 2 GB of RAM there are large memory gaps
(with no corresponding kernel virtual addresses) and reserved memory
regions between areas of usable physical RAM.  Moreover, if CONFIG_FLATMEM
is set, they appear within the normal zone.  swsusp should not try to save
them, so the corresponding page structs have to be marked as 'nosave'.

Dave McCracken 46a82b2d55 [PATCH] Standardize pxx_page macros
One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros.  pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address.  pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.

Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures.  There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.

Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch.  Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.

Dmitriy Zavin 15d5f83983 [PATCH] x86: Refactor thermal throttle processing
Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting)
into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting
of CPU thermal throttle events.

After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user
(p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit)
the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log
things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).

Andi Kleen 0637a70a5d [PATCH] x86: Allow disabling early pci scans with pci=noearly or disallowing conf1
Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses
happen for some non existent devices.  i386/x86-64 do some early
device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable
this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early
accesses which are always type1.

This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.
I don't think this can break anything because it only changes
a single global that is only used by PCI.

Jan Beulich adf1423698 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Work around gcc bug with noreturn functions in unwinder
Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.

This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information.  Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.

For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem.  The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.

It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.

This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16
unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame

This patch upgrades the x86_64-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the

Andi Kleen 53ee11ae0d [PATCH] Optimize PDA accesses slightly
Based on a idea by Jeremy Fitzhardinge:

Replace the volatiles and memory clobbers in the PDA access with
telling gcc about access to a proxy PDA structure that doesn't
actually exist. But the dummy accesses give a defined ordering for
read/write accesses.

Also add some memory barriers to the early GS initialization to
make sure no PDA access is moved before it.

Advantage is some .text savings (probably most from better
code for accessing "current"):

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename

Arjan van de Ven e07e23e1fd [PATCH] non lazy "sleazy" fpu implementation
Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily.  This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive
save/restore all the time).  However for very frequent FPU users...  you
take an extra trap every context switch.

The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.  If the app indeed uses the FPU, the
trap is avoided.  (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the
previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously).

After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until
there are 5 consecutive ones again).  The reason for this is to give apps
that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some
time.

Andi Kleen e2414910f2 [PATCH] x86: Detect CFI support in the assembler at runtime
... instead of using a CONFIG option. The config option still controls
if the resulting executable actually has unwind information.

This is useful to prevent compilation errors when users select
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND on old binutils and also allows to use
CFI in the future for non kernel debugging applications.

Andi Kleen a8fcf1a24a [PATCH] Remove obsolete PIC mode
PIC mode is an outdated way to drive the APICs that was used on
some early MP boards. It is not supported in the ACPI model.

It is unlikely to be ever configured by any x86-64 system

Remove it thus.

Andi Kleen b1c78c0fcc [PATCH] Clean up and minor fixes to TLB flush
- Convert CR* accesses to dedicated inline functions and rewrite
the rest as C inlines
- Don't do a double flush for global flushes (pointed out by Zach Amsden)
This was a bug workaround for old CPUs that don't do 64bit and is obsolete.
- Add a proper memory clobber to invlpg
- Remove an unused extern
