2c8c0e6b8d [PATCH] Convert x86-64 to early param
Instead of hackish manual parsing

Requires earlier i386 patchkit, but also fixes i386 early_printk again.

I removed some obsolete really early parameters which didn't do anything useful.
Also made a few parameters that needed it early (mostly oops printing setup)

Also removed one panic check that wasn't visible without
early console anyways (the early console is now initialized after that
panic)

This cleans up a lot of code.

1a3f239ddf [PATCH] i386: Replace i386 open-coded cmdline parsing with
This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing
throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used
by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390).  The code was inconsistent with
whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of
these will get passed through the environment into init.

This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable
parts:

1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/

2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning.  When someone
   actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use
   early_param().
[AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next
x86-64 patch]

3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h

4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi).

5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL,
   except one where it has subtle humor value.

AK: readded acpi_sci handling which was completely dropped
AK: moved some more variables into acpi/boot.c

d3a4f48d48 [PATCH] x86-64 TIF flags for debug regs and io bitmap in ctxsw
Hello,

Following my discussion with Andi. Here is a patch that introduces
two new TIF flags to simplify the context switch code in __switch_to().
The idea is to minimize the number of cache lines accessed in the common
case, i.e., when neither the debug registers nor the I/O bitmap are used.

This patch covers the x86-64 modifications. A patch for i386 follows.

Changelog:
	- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
	- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
	- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

3cfc348bf9 [PATCH] x86: Add portable getcpu call
For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.

x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.

I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.

The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time.  The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow

The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable

I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.

AK: Also added some cleanups from Andrew Morton

Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID

monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.

8da5adda91 [PATCH] x86: Allow users to force a panic on NMI
To quote Alan Cox:

The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.

A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.

This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

828f0afda1 [PATCH] x86: Add performance counter reservation framework for UP kernels
Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips.  Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier.  The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.

Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter.  In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).

This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the

22acb19a91 [NETLINK]: add nla_for_each_nested() to the interface list
At the top of include/net/netlink.h is a list of Netlink interfaces, however,
the nla_for_each_nested() macro was not listed.  This patch adds this interface
to the list at the top of the header file.
