Maneesh Soni 6796313263 [PATCH] Plug kdump shutdown race window
lapic_shutdown() re-enables interrupts which is un-desirable for panic
case, so use local_irq_save() and local_irq_restore() to keep the irqs
disabled for kexec on panic case, and close a possible race window while
kdump shutdown as shown in this stack trace

Andi Kleen f9262c12c0 [PATCH] i386: port ATI timer fix from x86_64 to i386 II
ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled.  This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.

This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.

I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)

Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.

I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.

Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

Michael Matz 2ec5e3a867 [PATCH] fix kexec asm
While testing kexec and kdump we hit problems where the new kernel would
freeze or instantly reboot.  The easiest way to trigger it was to kexec a
kernel compiled for CONFIG_M586 on an athlon cpu.  Compiling for CONFIG_MK7
instead would work fine.

The patch fixes a few problems with the kexec inline asm.

Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not meet watchdog timeout condition.  It
does not hit die_nmi when it should be triggered, because the current

like this:

	void nmi_watchdog_tick (struct pt_regs * regs) {
	if (last_irq_sums[cpu] == sum) {
		alert_counter[cpu]++;		<- count up alert_counter, but
		if (alert_counter[cpu] == 5*nmi_hz)
			die_nmi(regs, "NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP");
		alert_counter[cpu] = 0;		<- reset alert_counter

This patch changes it back to the previous and working version.

This was found and originally written by Kohta NAKASHIMA.

James Bottomley e18f9b4be4 [PATCH] fix voyager after topology.c move
Commit 9c869edac5 broke voyager again
rather subtly because it already had its own topology exporting
functions, so now each CPU gets registered twice.

I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose
reverting it.  The attached should eliminate the voyager topology
functions in favour of the generic ones.

I also added a define to ensure voyager is never hotplug CPU (we don't
have the support in the SMP harness).

Zachary Amsden 9c869edac5 [PATCH] Fix topology.c location
When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
build.  This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail.  In addition,
on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
in topology.c which calls register_cpu.  This causes a kernel panic on boot
on newer Intel processors.  Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
both of these problems.

James Bottomley 2b932f6cf0 [PATCH] x86: fix broken SMP boot sequence
Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero.  There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S).  This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

Ulrich Drepper cff2b76009 [PATCH] fstatat64 support
The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline.  The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.

This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined.  I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear.  Other archs will continue to use the existing code.  On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function.  this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.

This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall).  Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode.  I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected).  It should be done by the arch
maintainers.  I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly.  Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).

The patch below has been tested on x86 and x86-64.

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that

a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather

b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs.  So with
   CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.

I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case.  Should be OK..

I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL.  Suggest that it stop doing
that.

i386 CPU init code accesses freed init memory when booting a newly-started
processor after CPU hotplug.  The cpu_devs array is searched to find the
vendor and it contains pointers to freed data.

Fix that by:

        1. Zeroing entries for freed vendor data after bootup.
        2. Changing Transmeta, NSC and UMC to all __init[data].
        3. Printing a warning (once only) and setting this_cpu
           to a safe default when the vendor is not found.

This does not change behavior for AMD systems.  They were broken already
but no error was reported.

Ashok Raj 7f66ae48de [PATCH] x86_64: Dont record local apic ids when they are disabled in MADT
Some broken BIOS's had processors disabled, but
same apic id as a valid processor. This causes
acpi_processor_start() to think this disabled
cpu is ok, and croak. So we dont record bad
apicid's anymore.

Tong Li 23332c2e9d [PATCH] OProfile: fixed x86_64 incorrect kernel call graphs
Fix the problem in kernel 2.6.15.1 (and early versions) that OProfile on
x86_64 does not correctly collect the stack traces for kernel functions.

The original code in valid_kernel_stack() in arch/i386/oprofile/backtrace.c
assumes that the frame pointer (headaddr) should be greater than stack
(i.e., regs).

This assumption is wrong for x86_64 because NMIs in x86_64 use a seperate
stack different from the kernel stack.  Therefore, the variable stack now
points to some location on the NMI stack, which turns out to be at a higher
address than the frame pointer (headaddr) on the kernel stack.  The correct
comparison here should be between headaddr and regs->rsp for x86_64.

Mark Lord 975b3d3d5b [PATCH] VMSPLIT config options
Enable selection of different user/kernel VM splits for i386, including an
optimized mode for 1GB physical RAM, which gives the kernel a direct (non
HIGHMEM) mapping to the entire 1GB rather than just the first 896MB.

There is a similarly a similarly optimized mode for machines with exactly 2GB
of physical RAM.

This can speed up the kernel by avoiding having to create/destroy temporary
HIGHMEM mappings, and by not having to include HIGHMEM support at all on such
machines.  The flip side is that there's less virtual addressing left for
userspace in these alternatives, and some binary-only kernel modules may
misbehave unless rebuilt with the same VMSPLIT option as the main kernel
image.

Original idea/patch from Jens Axboe, modified based on suggestions from Linus
et al.

john stultz bfaa1deeb9 [PATCH] disable lost tick compensation before TSCs are synced
Avoid lost tick compensation early in boot before the TSCs are
synchronized.  Currently timekeeping is enabled before the TSCs are
synchronized, thus when the TSCs are synched (reset to zero), it appears
that a number of lost ticks have occurred.  This can cause premature expiry
of timers and in extreme cases can cause the soft lockup detection to fire.

This resolves issues reported by Andy Whitcroft as well as bug #5366
reported by Tim Mann.
