Stas Sergeev 1da2e3d679 provide rtc_cmos platform device
Recently (around 2.6.25) I've noticed that RTC no longer works for me.  It
turned out this is because I use pnpacpi=off kernel option to work around
the parport_pc bugs.  I always did so, but RTC used to work fine in the
past, and now it have regressed.

The patch fixes the problem by creating the platform device for the RTC
when PNP is disabled.  This may also help running the PNP-enabled kernel
on an older PCs.

Yeah, this is extremely likely to be the source of the warning.

The warning should be harmless, however.

It would be interesting to see where the int3 comes from.  Too bad,
lockdep doesn't provide the register dump. The stacktrace also doesn't
go further than the int3(), I wonder if this int3 came from userspace?
The ltrace readme says "software breakpoints, like gdb", so I guess
this is the case. Yep, seems like it.

This looks relevant:

Joy - I so love entry.S

Best I can make of it:

syscall_exit_work
  resume_userspace
    DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
    (no TRACE_IRQS_OFF)
      work_pending
        work_notifysig
          do_notify_resume()
            do_signal()
              get_signal_to_deliver()
                try_to_freeze()
                  refrigerator()
                    task_lock() -> check_flags() -> BANG

The normal path is:

syscall_exit_work
  resume_userspace
    DISABLE_INTERRUPTS
    restore_all
      TRACE_IRQS_IRET
      iret

No idea why that would not warn..

the original problem is fixed by Maciej W. Rozycki in the tip/x86/apic
branch (confirmed by Márton), but those changes are too intrusive for
v2.6.26 so we'll go for the less intrusive (repeated) revert now.

Fix head_32.S gcc bignum warnings when CONFIG_PAE=y.

    arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S: Assembler messages:
    arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:225: Warning: left operand is a bignum; integer 0 assumed
    arch/x86/kernel/head_32.S:609: Warning: left operand is a bignum; integer 0 assumed

The assembler was stumbling over the 64-bit constant 0x100000000 in the
KPMDS #define.

Testing: a cmp(1) on head_32.o before and after shows the binary is unchanged.

Cyrill Gorcunov f781b03c4b x86: touch_nmi_watchdog(): reset alert counters for supported nmi_watchdog modes only
The checking 'if nmi_watchdog > 0' (ie NMI_NONE) is quite fast but it
has a side effect - it's taken even if nmi_watchdog = NMI_DISABLED.

Nowadays nmi_watchdog is set up to NMI_NONE by default so this condition
is properly taken most the time but we better show this explicitly.

Miquel van Smoorenburg b7f09ae583 x86, pci-dma.c: don't always add __GFP_NORETRY to gfp
Currently arch/x86/kernel/pci-dma.c always adds __GFP_NORETRY
to the allocation flags, because it wants to be reasonably
sure not to deadlock when calling alloc_pages().

But really that should only be done in two cases:
- when allocating memory in the lower 16 MB DMA zone.
  If there's no free memory there, waiting or OOM killing is of no use
- when optimistically trying an allocation in the DMA32 zone
  when dma_mask < DMA_32BIT_MASK hoping that the allocation
  happens to fall within the limits of the dma_mask

Also blindly adding __GFP_NORETRY to the the gfp variable might
not be a good idea since we then also use it when calling
dma_ops->alloc_coherent(). Clearing it might also not be a
good idea, dma_alloc_coherent()'s caller might have set it
on purpose. The gfp variable should not be clobbered.

Suresh Siddha 870568b390 x86, fpu: fix CONFIG_PREEMPT=y corruption of application's FPU stack
Jürgen Mell reported an FPU state corruption bug under CONFIG_PREEMPT,
and bisected it to commit v2.6.19-1363-gacc2076, "i386: add sleazy FPU
optimization".

Add tsk_used_math() checks to prevent calling math_state_restore()
which can sleep in the case of !tsk_used_math(). This prevents
making a blocking call in __switch_to().

Apparently "fpu_counter > 5" check is not enough, as in some signal handling
and fork/exec scenarios, fpu_counter > 5 and !tsk_used_math() is possible.

It's a side effect though. This is the failing scenario:

process 'A' in save_i387_ia32() just after clear_used_math()

Got an interrupt and pre-empted out.

At the next context switch to process 'A' again, kernel tries to restore
the math state proactively and sees a fpu_counter > 0 and !tsk_used_math()

This results in init_fpu() during the __switch_to()'s math_state_restore()

And resulting in fpu corruption which will be saved/restored
(save_i387_fxsave and restore_i387_fxsave) during the remaining
part of the signal handling after the context switch.

Cyrill Gorcunov 19ec673ced x86: nmi - fix incorrect NMI watchdog used by default
The commit

	Author: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@gmail.com>
	Date:   Sat May 24 19:36:35 2008 +0400

set nmi_watchdog to NMI_IO_APIC as by default. This causes hangs on some
machines with buggy watchdogs. Fix it - i.e. restore old behaviour.

Thanks to Sitsofe Wheeler and Adrian Bunk for catching the problem
and Maciej W. Rozycki for explanation what is going on there.

When the TSC is calibrated against the PIT due to the nonavailability

would definitely render sched_clock() unusable.

Thomas Gleixner e9623b3559 x86: disable mwait for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs
The previous revert of 0c07ee38c9 left
out the mwait disable condition for AMD family 10H/11H CPUs.

Andreas Herrman said:

It depends on the CPU. For AMD CPUs that support MWAIT this is wrong.
Family 0x10 and 0x11 CPUs will enter C1 on HLT. Powersavings then
depend on a clock divisor and current Pstate of the core.

If all cores of a processor are in halt state (C1) the processor can
enter the C1E (C1 enhanced) state. If mwait is used this will never
happen.

Thus HLT saves more power than MWAIT here.

It might be best to switch off the mwait flag for these AMD CPU
families like it was introduced with commit
f039b75471 (x86: Don't use MWAIT on AMD
Family 10)

Re-add the AMD families 10H/11H check and disable the mwait usage for
those.

A future patch will turn off mwait on specific CPUs where that causes

    ERROR: "csum_partial" [fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko] undefined!
    make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1

This is due to a known weakness of symbol exports: if a symbol's
only in-core user is an EXPORT_SYMBOL from a lib-y section, the
symbol is not linked in.

The solution is to move the export to x8664_ksyms_64.c - but the real
