Mitsuo Hayasaka 69682b625a x86: Add user_mode_vm check in stack_overflow_check
The kernel stack overflow is checked in stack_overflow_check(),
which may wrongly detect the overflow if the stack pointer in
user space points to the kernel stack intentionally or
accidentally. So, the actual overflow is never detected after
this misdetection because WARN_ONCE() is used on the detection
of it.

This patch adds user-mode-vm checking before it to avoid this
problem and bails out early if the user stack is used.

Suresh Siddha 7a7732bc0f x86: Unify fixup_irqs() for 32-bit and 64-bit kernels
There is no reason to have different fixup_irqs() for 32-bit and
64-bit kernels. Unify by using the superior 64-bit version for
both the kernels.

Jeremy Fitzhardinge 9b2b76a334 x86: add handle_irq() to allow interrupt injection
Xen uses a different interrupt path, so introduce handle_irq() to

Mike Travis 7f7ace0cda cpumask: update irq_desc to use cpumask_var_t
Impact: reduce memory usage, use new cpumask API.

Replace the affinity and pending_masks with cpumask_var_t's.  This adds
to the significant size reduction done with the SPARSE_IRQS changes.

The added functions (init_alloc_desc_masks & init_copy_desc_masks) are
in the include file so they can be inlined (and optimized out for the
!CONFIG_CPUMASKS_OFFSTACK case.)  [Naming chosen to be consistent with
the other init*irq functions, as well as the backwards arg declaration
of "from, to" instead of the more common "to, from" standard.]

Includes a slight change to the declaration of struct irq_desc to embed
the pending_mask within ifdef(CONFIG_SMP) to be consistent with other
references, and some small changes to Xen.

Tested: sparse/non-sparse/cpumask_offstack/non-cpumask_offstack/nonuma/nosmp on x86_64

The "map" arg is always cpu_online_mask.  Importantly, set_affinity

to do it in fixup_irqs(), avoiding a temporary.

Impact: change existing irq_chip API

Not much point with gentle transition here: the struct irq_chip's
setaffinity method signature needs to change.

Fortunately, not widely used code, but hits a few architectures.

Note: In irq_select_affinity() I save a temporary in by mangling
irq_desc[irq].affinity directly.  Ingo, does this break anything?

Annotate do_IRQ and smp_apic_timer_interrupt to put them into the .irqentry.text
subsection. These function will so be recognized as hardirq entrypoints for the
function-graph-tracer. We could also annotate other irq entries but the others
are far less important but they can be added on request.

Yinghai Lu 0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

jia zhang 3aeb95d5b7 x86_64: fix the check in stack_overflow_check
Impact: make stack overflow debug check and printout narrower

stack_overflow_check() should consider the stack usage of pt_regs, and
thus it could warn us in advance. Additionally, it looks better for
the warning time to start at INITIAL_JIFFIES.

Assuming that rsp gets close to the check point before interrupt
arrives: when interrupt really happens, thread_info will be partly
overrode.

Joe Korty 38e760a133 x86: expand /proc/interrupts to include missing vectors, v2
Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.

/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.

This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:

	rescheduling interrupts
	TLB flush interrupts
	function call interrupts
	thermal event interrupts
	threshold interrupts
	spurious interrupts

A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency.  Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.

Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip.  IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.

A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC.  Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from.  For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.

Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS.  Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.

AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

Dave Jones 835c34a168 Delete filenames in comments.
Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
are no longer correct.  Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
them, as they add no real value.

Additionally:
- fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
- Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM
- remove longwinded history from tsc_32.c which can be figured out from
  git.

Fix up conflicts manually in Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
and my new least favourite crap, the "mod_devicetable" support in the
files include/linux/mod_devicetable.h and scripts/mod/file2alias.c.

(The latter files seem to be explicitly _designed_ to get conflicts when
different subsystems work with them - that have an absolutely horrid
lack of subsystem separation!)
