95a53249db [CPUFREQ] X86_GX_SUSPMOD must depend on PCI
It seems commit 32ee8c3e47 accidentially
reverted cdc9cc1d74, IOW, it reintroduced
the following compile error with CONFIG_PCI=n:

<--  snip  -->

...
  CC      arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/gx-suspmod.o
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/gx-suspmod.c: In function ‘gx_detect_chipset’:
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/gx-suspmod.c:193: error: implicit declaration of function ‘pci_match_id’
arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/gx-suspmod.c:193: warning: comparison between pointer and integer
make[3]: *** [arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/gx-suspmod.o] Error 1

<--  snip  -->

This patch therefore re-adds the dependency of X86_GX_SUSPMOD on PCI.

0d6daba5fa [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Initialise later.
Without this longhaul will always fail when compiled into kernel,
as it needs to initialise after the ACPI processor module.

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.

dadb49d874 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Hook into ACPI C states.
Minimal change necessary for hardware support.

Changes in longhaul.c:
- most important - now C3 state is causing transition,
- code responsible for clearing "bus master" bit removed,
- protect bcr2 transition in the same way as longhaul.

9c7b216d23 [PATCH] cpu hotplug: revert init patch submitted for 2.6.17
In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS.  I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem.  In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18.  Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).

If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.

This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17

96c5274903 [PATCH] fix subarchitecture breakage with CONFIG_SCHED_SMT
Commit 1e9f28fa1e ("[PATCH] sched: new
sched domain for representing multi-core") incorrectly made SCHED_SMT
and some of the structures it uses dependent on SMP.

However, this is wrong, the structures are only defined if X86_HT, so
SCHED_SMT has to depend on that as well.

The patch broke voyager, since it doesn't provide any of the multi-core
or hyperthreading structures.

0080e66755 [PATCH] x86_64: i386/x86-64 Add nmi watchdog support for new Intel CPUs
Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.

What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
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.

Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.

18bd057b14 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056
