Impact: widen the reach of the low-memory-protect DMI quirk
Phoenix BIOSes variously identify their vendor as "Phoenix Technologies,
LTD" or "Phoenix Technologies LTD" (without the comma.)
This patch makes the identification string in the bad_bios_dmi_table
more general (following a suggestion by Ingo Molnar), so that both
versions are handled.
Again, the patched file compiles cleanly and the patch has been tested
successfully on my machine.

Shows that the code flow in ds_request() is buggy - it goes into
the unlock+release-context path even when the context is not allocated
yet.
First allocate the context, then do the other checks.
Also, take care with GFP allocations under the ds_lock spinlock.

Impact: fix incorrectly marked unstable TSC clock
Patch (commit 0d12cdd "sched: improve sched_clock() performance") has
a regression on one of the test systems here.
With the patch, I see:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]:
Measured 28 cycles TSC warp between CPUs, turning off TSC clock.
Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
Whereas, without the patch syncs pass fine on all CPUs:
checking TSC synchronization [CPU#0 -> CPU#1]: passed.
Due to this, TSC is marked unstable, when it is not actually unstable.
This is because syncs in check_tsc_wrap() goes away due to this commit.
As per the discussion on this thread, correct way to fix this is to add
explicit syncs as below?

the assumptio of this change was that this would not break

Impact: fix rare x2apic hang
On x86, x2apic mode accesses for sending IPI's don't have serializing
semantics. If the IPI receivner refers(in lock-free fashion) to some
memory setup by the sender, the need for smp_mb() before sending the
IPI becomes critical in x2apic mode.
Add the smp_mb() in native_flush_tlb_others() before sending the IPI.

Impact: fix boot hang on 32-bit systems with more than 224 IO-APIC pins
On some 32-bit systems with a lot of IO-APICs probe_nr_irqs() can
return a value larger than NR_IRQS. This will lead to probe_irq_on()
overrunning the irq_desc array.
I hit this when running net-next-2.6 (close to 2.6.28-rc3) on a
Supermicro dual Xeon system. NR_IRQS is 224 but probe_nr_irqs() detects
5 IOAPICs and returns 240. Here are the log messages:

x86: fix AMDC1E and XTOPOLOGY conflict in cpufeature
x86: build fix
This makes the late e820 resources use 'insert_resource_expand_to_fit()'
instead of doing a 'reserve_region_with_split()', and also avoids
marking them as IORESOURCE_BUSY.
This results in us being perfectly happy to use pre-existing PCI
resources even if they were marked as being in a reserved region, while
still avoiding any _new_ allocations in the reserved regions. It also
makes for a simpler and more accurate resource tree.
Example resource allocation from Jonathan Corbet, who has firmware that
has an e820 reserved entry that covered a big range (e0000000-fed003ff),
and that had various PCI resources in it set up by firmware.
With old kernels, the reserved range would force us to re-allocate all
pre-existing PCI resources, and his reserved range would end up looking
like this:
e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
where only the pre-allocated special regions (IOAPIC and HPET) were kept
around.
With 2.6.28-rc2, which uses 'reserve_region_with_split()', Jonathan's
resource tree looked like this:
e0000000-fe7fffff : reserved
fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
fe800000-fe8fffff : reserved
fe900000-fe9d9aff : reserved
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : reserved
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : reserved
fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
fe9da000-fe9dafff : reserved
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : reserved
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : reserved
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : reserved
fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
fea00000-fea7ffff : reserved
fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
fea80000-feafffff : reserved
feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
feb00000-febfffff : reserved
fec00000-fed003ff : reserved
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
and because the reserved entry had been split and moved into the
individual resources, and because it used the IORESOURCE_BUSY flag, the
drivers that actually wanted to _use_ those resources couldn't actually
attach to them:
e1000e 0000:00:19.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9e0000-0xfe9fffff]
HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: BAR 0: can't reserve mem region [0xfe9dc000-0xfe9dffff]
with this patch, the resource tree instead becomes
e0000000-fed003ff : reserved
fe800000-fe8fffff : PCI Bus 0000:01
fe9d9b00-fe9d9bff : 0000:00:1f.3
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : 0000:00:1a.7
fe9d9c00-fe9d9fff : ehci_hcd
fe9da000-fe9dafff : 0000:00:03.3
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9db000-fe9dbfff : e1000e
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : 0000:00:1b.0
fe9dc000-fe9dffff : ICH HD audio
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : 0000:00:19.0
fe9e0000-fe9fffff : e1000e
fea00000-fea7ffff : 0000:00:02.0
fea80000-feafffff : 0000:00:02.1
feb00000-febfffff : 0000:00:02.0
fec00000-fec00fff : IOAPIC 0
fed00000-fed003ff : HPET 0
ie the one reserved region now ends up surrounding all the PCI resources
that were allocated inside of it by firmware, and because it is not
marked BUSY, drivers have no problem attaching to the pre-allocated
resources.

Impact: fix AMD Family 11h boot hangs / USB device problems
The AMD Fam11h CPUs have a K8 northbridge. This northbridge is different
from other family's because it lacks GART support (as I just learned).
But the kernel implicitly expects a GART if it finds an AMD northbridge.
Fix this by removing the Fam11h northbridge id from the scan list of K8
northbridges. This patch also changes the message in the GART driver
about missing K8 northbridges to tell that the GART is missing which is
the correct information in this case.

Impact: fix kdump crash on 32-bit sparsemem kernels
Since linux-2.6.27, kdump has failed on i386 sparsemem kernel.
1st-kernel gets a panic just before switching to 2nd-kernel.
The cause is that a kernel accesses invalid mem_section by
page_to_pfn(image->swap_page) at machine_kexec().
image->swap_page is allocated if kexec for hibernation, but
it is not allocated if kdump. So if kdump, a kernel should
not access the mem_section corresponding to image->swap_page.
The attached patch fixes this invalid access.

Impact: avoid section mismatch warning, clean up
The dynamic ftrace determines which nop is safe to use at start up.
When it finds a safe nop for patching, it sets a pointer called ftrace_nop
to point to the code. All call sites are then patched to this nop.
Later, when tracing is turned on, this ftrace_nop variable is again used
to compare the location to make sure it is a nop before we update it to
an mcount call. If this fails just once, a warning is printed and ftrace
is disabled.
Rakib Mullick noted that the code that sets up the nop is a .init section
where as the nop itself is in the .text section. This is needed because
the nop is used later on after boot up. The problem is that the test of the
nop jumps back to the setup code and causes a "section mismatch" warning.
Rakib first recommended to convert the nop to .init.text, but as stated
above, this would fail since that text is used later.
The real solution is to extend Rabik's patch, and to make the ftrace_nop
into an array, and just save the code from the assembly to this array.
Now the section can stay as an init section, and we have a nop to use
later on.

This restores the old swiotlb alloc_coherent behavior (before the
alloc_coherent rewrite):
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/12/200
The old alloc_coherent avoids GFP_DMA allocation first and if the
allocated address is not fit for the device's coherent_dma_mask, then
dma_alloc_coherent does GFP_DMA allocation. If it fails,
alloc_coherent calls swiotlb_alloc_coherent (in short, we rarely used
swiotlb_alloc_coherent).
After the alloc_coherent rewrite, dma_alloc_coherent
(include/asm-x86/dma-mapping.h) directly calls swiotlb_alloc_coherent.
It means that we possibly can't handle a device having dma_masks >
24bit < 32bits since swiotlb_alloc_coherent doesn't have the above
GFP_DMA retry mechanism.
This patch fixes x86's swiotlb alloc_coherent to use the GFP_DMA retry
mechanism, which dma_generic_alloc_coherent() provides now
(pci-nommu.c and GART IOMMU driver also use
dma_generic_alloc_coherent).
