For some reason old binutils genertate larger headers so increase the text
offset of the vdso to avoid linker errors.
Roland McGrath explains:
"There are extra symbols in the '.dynsym' section that are responsible
for the size difference (They also cause corresponding inflation in
'.gnu.version')
Older ld's wrongly generated these unneeded symbols in .dynsym. This
was fixed not all that long ago (2006); binutils-2.17.50.0.6 might be
the first fixed version, but I have not verified for sure where the
cutoff was.
The unneeded symbols et al from old ld add almost 700 bytes excess.
This limits fairly tightly the amount by which the actual text and
data in the vDSO can grow in the future without pushing the whole
file over 4kb. If it does grow later on, we should consider changing
the layout with a config option or something to pack it better
without that padding, when building the kernel with newer binutils."

This reverts commit e66485d747, since
Rafael Wysocki noticed that the change only works for his in -mm, not in
mainline (and that both "noapictimer" _and_ "apicmaintimer" are broken
on his hardware, but that's apparently not a regression, just a symptom
of the same issue that causes the automatic apic timer disable to not
work).
It turns out that it really doesn't work correctly on x86-64, since
x86-64 doesn't use the generic clock events for timers yet.
Thanks to Rafal for testing, and here's the ugly details on x86-64 as
per Thomas:
"I just looked into the code and the logic vs. noapictimer on SMP is
completely broken.
On i386 the noapictimer option not only disables the local APIC
timer, it also registers the CPUs for broadcasting via IPI on SMP
systems.
The x86-64 code uses the broadcast only when the local apic timer is
active, i.e. "noapictimer" is not on the command line. This defeats
the whole purpose of "noapictimer". It should be there to make boxen
work, where the local APIC timer actually has a hardware problem,
e.g. the nx6325.
The current implementation of x86_64 only fixes the ACPI c-states
related problem where the APIC timer stops in C3(2), nothing else.
On nx6325 and other AMD X2 equipped systems which have the C1E
enabled we run into the following:
PIT keeps jiffies (and the system) running, but the local APIC timer
interrupts can get out of sync due to this C1E effect.
I don't think this is a critical problem, but it is wrong
nevertheless.
I think it's safe to revert the C1E patch and postpone the fix to the
clock events conversion."
On further reflection, Thomas noted:
"It's even worse than I thought on the first check:
"noapictimer" on the command line of an SMP box prevents _ONLY_ the
boot CPU apic timer from being used. But the secondary CPU is still
unconditionally setting up the APIC timer and uses the non
calibrated variable calibration_result, which is of course 0, to
setup the APIC timer. Wreckage guaranteed."
so we'll just have to wait for the x86 merge to hopefully fix this up
for x86-64.

commit 3556ddfa92 titled
[PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
solves a problem with AMD dual core laptops e.g. HP nx6325 (Turion 64
X2) with C1E enabled:
When both cores go into idle at the same time, then the system switches
into C1E state, which is basically the same as C3. This stops the local
apic timer.
This was debugged right after the dyntick merge on i386 and despite the
patch title it fixes only the 32 bit path.
x86_64 is still missing this fix. It seems that mainline is not really
affected by this issue, as the PIT is running and keeps jiffies
incrementing, but that's just waiting for trouble.
-mm suffers from this problem due to the x86_64 high resolution timer
patches.
This is a quick and dirty port of the i386 code to x86_64.
I spent quite a time with Rafael to debug the -mm / hrt wreckage until
someone pointed us to this. I really had forgotten that we debugged this
half a year ago already.
Sigh, is it just me or is there something yelling arch/x86 into my ear?

Randy Dunlap noticed an interesting "crashme" behaviour on his dual
Prescott Xeon setup, where he gets page faults with the error code
having a zero "user" bit, but the register state points back to user
mode.
This may be a CPU microcode buglet triggered by some strange instruction
pattern that crashme generates, and loading a microcode update seems to
possibly have fixed it.
Regardless, we really should trust the register state more than the
error code, since it's really the register state that determines whether
we can actually send a signal, or whether we're in kernel mode and need
to oops/kill the process in the case of a page fault.

I have had four seperate system lockups attributable to this exact problem
in two days of testing. Instead of trying to handle all the weird end
cases and wrap, how about changing it to look for exactly what we appear
to want.
The following patch removes a couple races in setup_APIC_timer. One occurs
when the HPET advances the COUNTER past the T0_CMP value between the time
the T0_CMP was originally read and when COUNTER is read. This results in
a delay waiting for the counter to wrap. The other results from the counter
wrapping.
This change takes a snapshot of T0_CMP at the beginning of the loop and
simply loops until T0_CMP has changed (a tick has happened).
<later>
I have one small concern about the patch. I am not sure it meets the intent
as well as it should. I think we are trying to match APIC timer interrupts up
with the hpet counter increment. The event which appears to be disturbing
this loop in our test environment is the NMI watchdog. What we believe has
been happening with the existing code is the setup_APIC_timer loop has read
the CMP value, and the NMI watchdog code fires for the first time. This
results in a series of icache miss slowdowns and by the time we get back to
things it has wrapped.
I think this code is trying to get the CMP as close to the counter value as
possible. If that is the intent, maybe we should really be testing against a
"window" around the CMP. Something like COUNTER = CMP+/2. It appears COUNTER
should get advanced every 89nSec (IIRC). The above seems like an unreasonably
small window, but may be necessary. Without documentation, I am not sure of
the original intent with this code.
In summary, this code fixes my boot hangs, but since I am not certain of the
intent of the existing code, I am not certain this has not introduced new bugs
or unexpected behaviors.

Revert 7e92b4fc34. It broke Sébastien Dugué's
machine and Jeff said (persuasively)
This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of
breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS."
It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something
that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel
platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of
messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year,
and your box won't have a serial port either! :)
I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver),
but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to
rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why
risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again?
It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for
something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade.
Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.

This patch introduces struct pci_sysdata to x86 and x86-64, and
