30f3174d1c [PATCH] Fix faulty HPET clocksource usage (fix for bug #7062)
Apparently some systems export valid HPET addresses, but hpet_enable()
fails.  Then when the HPET clocksource starts up, it only checks for a
valid HPET address, and the result is a system where time does not advance.

See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7062 for details.

This patch just makes sure we better check that the HPET is functional
before registering the HPET clocksource.

As a replacement for the earlier removal of the e820 MCFG check
we blacklist the Intel SDV with the original BIOS bug that
motivated that check. On those machines don't use MMCONFIG.

This also adds a new pci=mmconf parameter to override the blacklist.

ea424055b7 [PATCH] x86: Make backtracer fallback logic more bullet-proof
The unwinder fallback logic still had potential for falling through to
the legacy stack trace code without printing an indication (at once
serving as a separator) of this.

Further, the stack pointer retrieval for the fallback should be as
restrictive as possible (in order to avoid having the legacy stack
tracer try to access invalid memory). The patch tightens that, but
this could certainly be further improved.

Also making the call_trace command line option now conditional upon
CONFIG_STACK_UNWIND (as it's meaningless otherwise).

11012d419c [PATCH] x86: Revert e820 MCFG heuristics
The check for the MCFG table being reserved in the e820 map was originally
added to detect a broken BIOS in a preproduction Intel SDV. However it also
breaks the Apple x86 Macs, which can't supply this properly, but need
a working MCFG. With this patch they wouldn't use the MCFG and not work.

After some discussion I think it's best to remove the heuristic again.
It also failed on some other boxes (although it didn't cause much
problems there because old style port access for PCI config space
still works as fallback), but the preproduction SDVs can just use
pci=nommcfg. Supporting production machines properly is more
important.

Edgar Hucek did all the debugging work.

954c0b7cd5 [PATCH] PCI: use PCBIOS as last fallback
there was a change in 2.6.17 which affected the order in which the PCI
access methods are probed.  this gives regressions on some machines with
broken BIOS.  the problem is that PCBIOS sometimes reports last bus wrong,
leaving cardbus non-funcational.  previously those system worked fine with
direct access.

The patch changes the PCI init code to have PCBIOS as last fallback, yet
the PCBIOS code still has to run first to set pcibios_last_bus to the value
reported by the BIOS.  this is needed in case legacy PCI probing
(arch/i386/pci/legacy.c) is used to detect peer busses.  using direct
access if available fixes the cardbus problems.

4e6e6504a4 ACPI: Handle BIOS that resumes from S3 to suspend routine rather than resume vector
A BIOS has been found that resumes from S3 to the routine that invoked suspend,
ignoring the resume vector.  This appears to the OS as a failed S3 attempt.

This same system suspend/resume's properly with Windows.

It is possible to invoke the protected mode register restore routine (which
would normally restore the sysenter registers) when the BIOS returns from
S3.  This has no effect on a correctly running system and repairs the
damage from the deviant BIOS.

48b7bde0f6 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Workaround issues with APIC.
There is no need to worry about local APIC.
There is need to worry about I/O APIC, because I/O APIC
is replacing good old 8259. According to Nehemiah datasheet VIA is
using 3-wire bus to connect local APIC to I/O APIC.

"[...] When IA32_APIC_BASE[11] is set to 0, processor APICs based on the 3-wire APIC
 bus cannot be generally re-enabled until a system hardware reset. The 3-wire bus
 looses track of arbitration that would be necessary for complete re-enabling. Certain
 (local) APIC functionality can be enabled. [...]"

So we must set disable bit for each interrupt in I/O APIC registers.
Same situation as for PIC - we must poke registers direcly.
How to do this? I don't know. So at the moment it is better to fail.

0b0bf7a3cc [PATCH] vDSO hash-style fix
The latest toolchains can produce a new ELF section in DSOs and
dynamically-linked executables.  The new section ".gnu.hash" replaces
".hash", and allows for more efficient runtime symbol lookups by the
dynamic linker.  The new ld option --hash-style={sysv|gnu|both} controls
whether to produce the old ".hash", the new ".gnu.hash", or both.  In some
new systems such as Fedora Core 6, gcc by default passes --hash-style=gnu
to the linker, so that a standard invocation of "gcc -shared" results in
producing a DSO with only ".gnu.hash".  The new ".gnu.hash" sections need
to be dealt with the same way as ".hash" sections in all respects; only the
dynamic linker cares about their contents.  To work with older dynamic
linkers (i.e.  preexisting releases of glibc), a binary must have the old
".hash" section.  The --hash-style=both option produces binaries that a new
dynamic linker can use more efficiently, but an old dynamic linker can
still handle.

The new section runs afoul of the custom linker scripts used to build vDSO
images for the kernel.  On ia64, the failure mode for this is a boot-time
panic because the vDSO's PT_IA_64_UNWIND segment winds up ill-formed.

This patch addresses the problem in two ways.

First, it mentions ".gnu.hash" in all the linker scripts alongside ".hash".
 This produces correct vDSO images with --hash-style=sysv (or old tools),
with --hash-style=gnu, or with --hash-style=both.

Second, it passes the --hash-style=sysv option when building the vDSO
images, so that ".gnu.hash" is not actually produced.  This is the most
conservative choice for compatibility with any old userland.  There is some
concern that some ancient glibc builds (though not any known old production
system) might choke on --hash-style=both binaries.  The optimizations
provided by the new style of hash section do not really matter for a DSO
with a tiny number of symbols, as the vDSO has.  If someone wants to use
=gnu or =both for their vDSO builds and worry less about that
compatibility, just change the option and the linker script changes will
make any choice work fine.

cea6a4ba8a [PATCH] panic_on_oops: remove ssleep()
This patch is part of an effort to unify the panic_on_oops behaviour across
all architectures that implement it.

It was pointed out to me by Andi Kleen that if an oops has occured in
interrupt context, then calling sleep() in the oops path will only cause a
panic, and that it would be really better for it not to be in the path at
all.

This patch removes the ssleep() call and reworks the console message
accordinly.  I have a slght concern that the resulting console message is
too long, feedback welcome.

For powerpc it also unifies the 32bit and 64bit behaviour.

Fror x86_64, this patch only updates the console message, as ssleep() is
already not present.

Fixes a obscure user space triggerable crash during oprofiling.

Oprofile calls profile_pc from NMIs even when user_mode(regs) is not true and
the program counter is inside the kernel lock section. This opens
a race - when a user program jumps to a kernel lock address and
a NMI happens before the illegal page fault exception is raised
and the program has a unmapped esp or ebp then the kernel could
oops. NMIs have a higher priority than exceptions so that could
happen.

Add user_mode checks to i386/x86-64 profile_pc to prevent that.

8477b55ba1 [PATCH] i386: remove redundant might_sleep() in user accessors.
On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke
might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their
__copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep().
Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to
eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s.

e78a887a59 [PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyager
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics.
That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch.  This makes that
dependency explicit, and allows the code to build.

What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the
support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the
voyager subarch under those harsh conditions.

Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove
the need to disable io_apics and this dependency.

b701533109 [PATCH] i386: handle_BUG(): don't print garbage if debug info unavailable
handle_BUG() tries to print file and line number even when they're not
available (CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is not set.) Change this to print a
message stating info is unavailable instead of printing a misleading
message.

1cfcea1b2d [PATCH] x86_64: Allow oprofile for model P4 models
Add it for P4 model 6 - reported to work and have a similar PMU to
earlier P4s.

Add an p4force=1 module override parameter for future use.

We had a discussion about that earlier - it's a trade off between the
PMU staying compatible or not.  I think the force parameter is a
reasonable compromise.

Matthew Wilcox notified me that CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/hda2" in the
i386 defconfig wasn't a good idea (especially since it prevented booting
for him due to another bug).

This patch sets CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="" in the i386 defconfig.

894673ee61 [PATCH] tty: Remove include of screen_info.h from tty.h
screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h.  This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h.  struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console.  Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it.  If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

 - add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
 - modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

Performance tested on Pentium II, ten runs of LMbench context switch
