681558fdb5 [PATCH] x86_64: Check that early arguments are words on their own
We've always had the problem that arguments only did a prefix match,
which resulted e.g.  in noapic and noapictimer getting confused.

Fix the early argument parsing code to always check that arguments are
whole words (except for those that take additional arguments of course)
I factored out the checking code for that while also makes the code
easier to maintain.

8c914cb704 [PATCH] x86_64: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain callbacks
While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to
x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules
and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier()
are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or
vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is
of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would
have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets
invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

The PM timer path through main_timer_handler doesn't need

51f62e186b [PATCH] x86_64: cleanup allocating logical cpu numbers in x86_64
Minor cleanup to lend better for physical CPU hotplug.
Earlier way of using num_processors as index doesnt
fit if CPUs come and go. This makes the code little bit better
to read, and helps physical hotplug use the same functions as boot.

Reserving CPU0 for BSP is too late to be done in smp_prepare_boot_cpu().
Since logical assignments from MADT is already done via
setup_arch()->acpi_boot_init()->parse lapic

45948d7720 [PATCH] x86_64: save FPU context slightly later
Touching of the floating point state in a kernel debugger must be
NMI-safe, specifically math_state_restore() must be able to deal with
being called out of an NMI context. In order to do that reliably, the
context switch code must take care to not leave a window open where
the current task's TS_USEDFPU flag and CR0.TS could get out of sync.

The upcomming gcc 4.2 got a new option -mtune=generic to tune
code for both common AMD and Intel CPUs. Use this option
when available for generic kernels.

On x86-64 it is used with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU. On i386 it is
enabled with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC.  It won't affect the base
line CPU support in any ways and also not the minimum supported CPU.

d74beb9f33 [PATCH] Use unsigned int types for a faster bsearch
This patch avoids arithmetic on 'signed' types that are slower than
'unsigned'.  This saves space and cpu cycles.

size of kernel/sys.o before the patch (gcc-3.4.5)

    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   10924     252       4   11180    2bac kernel/sys.o

I noticed that gcc-4.1.0 (from Fedora Core 5) even uses idiv instruction for
(a+b)/2 if a and b are signed.

34f361ade2 [PATCH] Check if cpu can be onlined before calling smp_prepare_cpu()
- Moved check for online cpu out of smp_prepare_cpu()

- Moved default declaration of smp_prepare_cpu() to kernel/cpu.c

- Removed lock_cpu_hotplug() from smp_prepare_cpu() to around it, since
  its called from cpu_up() as well now.

- Removed clearing from cpu_present_map during cpu_offline as it breaks
  using cpu_up() directly during a subsequent online operation.

174e27c607 [PATCH] direct-io: bug fix in dio handling write error
There is a bug in direct-io on propagating write error up to the higher I/O
layer.  When performing an async ODIRECT write to a block device, if a
device error occurred (like media error or disk is pulled), the error code
is only propagated from device driver to the DIO layer.  The error code
stops at finished_one_bio().  The aysnc write, however, is supposedly have
a corresponding AIO event with appropriate return code (in this case -EIO).
 Application which waits on the async write event, will hang forever since
such AIO event is lost forever (if such app did not use the timeout option
in io_getevents call.  Regardless, an AIO event is lost).

The discovery of above bug leads to another discovery of potential race
window with dio->result.  The fundamental problem is that dio->result is
overloaded with dual use: an indicator of fall back path for partial dio
write, and an error indicator used in the I/O completion path.  In the
event of device error, the setting of -EIO to dio->result clashes with
value used to track partial write that activates the fall back path.

It was also pointed out that it is impossible to use dio->result to track
partial write and at the same time to track error returned from device
driver.  Because direct_io_work can only determines whether it is a partial
write at the end of io submission and in mid stream of those io submission,
a return code could be coming back from the driver.  Thus messing up all
the subsequent logic.

Proposed fix is to separating out error code returned by the IO completion
path from partial IO submit tracking.  A new variable is added to dio
structure specifically to track io error returned in the completion path.

0e6b3e5e97 [PATCH] udf: fix uid/gid options and add uid/gid=ignore and forget options
As Pekka Enberg pointed out, with the if still following the else, you can
still get a null uid written to the disk if you specify a default uid= without
uid=forget.  In other words, if the desktop user is uid=1000 and the mount
option uid=1000 is given ( which is done on ubuntu automatically and probably
other distributions that use hal ), then if any other user besides uid 1000
owns a file then a 0 will be written to the media as the owning uid instead.

Also, optimise any_online_cpu() out of existence on CONFIG_SMP=n.

This function seems inefficient.  Can't we simply AND the two masks, then use
find_first_bit()?
