2632f01a66 [PATCH] i386: support Classic MediaGXm
I hope to support "classic" MediaGXm in kernel.

The DIR1 register of MediaGXm( or Geode) shows the following values for
identify CPU.  For example, My MediaGXm shows 0x42.

We can read National Semiconductor's datasheet without any NDAs.
  http://www.national.com/pf/GX/GXLV.html

from datasheets:
DIR1
0x30 - 0x33 GXm rev. 1.0 - 2.3
0x34 - 0x4f GXm rev. 2.4 - 3.x
0x5x        GXm rev. 5.0 - 5.4
0x6x        GXLV
0x7x         (unknow)
0x8x	    Gx1

In nsc driver of X, accept 0x30 through 0x82. What will 0x7x mean?

mtrr: fix size_or_mask and size_and_mask

This fixes two bugs in /proc/mtrr interface:
o If physical address size crosses the 44 bit boundary
  size_or_mask is evaluated wrong.
o size_and_mask limits width of physical base
  address for an MTRR to be less than 44 bits.

TBD: later patch had one more change, but I think that was bogus.
TBD: need to double check

2ff2d3d747 [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop.  You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop.  The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction.  Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.

The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode).  The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.

464d1a78fb [PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

435f8a605d Revert "[PATCH] fix typo in geode_configre()@cyrix.c"
This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea6.

It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree
that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one
(and that we also should clean it up a bit).  And after that we need to
really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do
work.

The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all
(even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so).  So
let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what
was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the
intent.

There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was
started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may
well contain the proper long-term fix.

9ee79a3d37 [PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during boot
The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.

The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id.  The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.

The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

24ebead82b [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Always guess FSB
This is patch that solves Ebox mini PC issue and make
FSB code more specification compilant. At start guess_fsb
function is guessing 200MHz FSB too. It is better to
make it in this way because, thanks to this function, driver
will fail for bogus FSB values caused by bogus multiplier
value. For PowerSaver processors we can't depend on Max /
MinMHzFSB because these values are only used for
PowerSaver 2.0 and 3.0. Most processors on which Longhaul
is used are PowerSaver 1.0 only. I'm changing code for older
CPU's too, but not so much as previously, and this code was
already used for Ezra. Using MinMHzBR for Ezra-T is outside
spec. It is for voltage scaling purpose and don't have to
be equal to minmult (but it is). Same for Nehemiah (it
isn't for sure). Added mult - current multiplier value.

264166e604 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Fix up powersaver assumptions.
ACPI PM2 register was fallback for "Longhaul ver. 1" CPU's.
My assumption that this register isn't present at
"PowerSaver" motherboards is so far true, but current code
will not work correctly in other case. There are three possible
supports: ACPI C3, PM2 and northbridge. That was my assumption
that ACPI C3 and northbridge is for PS and northbridge and PM2
is for V1. In current code we can only check if it is ACPI
support or not by port22_en. So remove port22_en and add
longhaul_flags. If USE_ACPI_C3 and USE_NORTHBRIDGE are both
clear then it means ACPI PM2 support. Also change order of
support probe from ACPI C3, PM2, northbridge to ACPI C3,
northbridge, ACPI PM2. Paranoid protection against port 0x22
cast as ACPI PM2 register. Bit 1 clear in such case - lockup
on AGP DMA. And obvious (now) fixup for do_powersaver. Use
cx->address only for ACPI C3 ("PowerSaver" processor using
PM2 support).

8edc59d939 [CPUFREQ] Bug fix for acpi-cpufreq and cpufreq_stats oops on frequency change notification
Fixes the oops in cpufreq_stats with acpi_cpufreq driver.  The issue was
that the frequency was reported as 0 in acpi-cpufreq.c.  The bug is due to
different indicies for freq_table and ACPI perf table.

Also adds a check in cpufreq_stats to check for error return from
freq_table_get_index() and avoid using the error return value.

365bff806e [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.

While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
  is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
  might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
  physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
  startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
  in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
  used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
  to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
  the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
  when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
  region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
  documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
  compatible with the respective opposite in the other

Allow selected bug checks to be skipped by paravirt kernels.  The two most
important are the F00F workaround (which is either done by the hypervisor,
or not required), and the 'hlt' instruction check, which can break under
some hypervisors.

Use the cpu_number in the PDA to implement raw_smp_processor_id.  This is a
little simpler than using thread_info, though the cpu field in thread_info
cannot be removed since it is used for things other than getting the current
CPU in common code.

f95d47caae [PATCH] i386: Use %gs as the PDA base-segment in the kernel
This patch is the meat of the PDA change.  This patch makes several related
changes:

1: Most significantly, %gs is now used in the kernel.  This means that on
   entry, the old value of %gs is saved away, and it is reloaded with
   __KERNEL_PDA.

2: entry.S constructs the stack in the shape of struct pt_regs, and this
   is passed around the kernel so that the process's saved register
   state can be accessed.

   Unfortunately struct pt_regs doesn't currently have space for %gs
   (or %fs). This patch extends pt_regs to add space for gs (no space
   is allocated for %fs, since it won't be used, and it would just
   complicate the code in entry.S to work around the space).

3: Because %gs is now saved on the stack like %ds, %es and the integer
   registers, there are a number of places where it no longer needs to
   be handled specially; namely context switch, and saving/restoring the
   register state in a signal context.

4: And since kernel threads run in kernel space and call normal kernel
   code, they need to be created with their %gs == __KERNEL_PDA.

6211119580 [PATCH] i386: Initialize the per-CPU data area
When a CPU is brought up, a PDA and GDT are allocated for it.  The GDT's
__KERNEL_PDA entry is pointed to the allocated PDA memory, so that all
references using this segment descriptor will refer to the PDA.

This patch rearranges CPU initialization a bit, so that the GDT/PDA are set up
as early as possible in cpu_init().  Also for secondary CPUs, GDT+PDA are
preallocated and initialized so all the secondary CPU needs to do is set up
the ldt and load %gs.  This will be important once smp_processor_id() and
current use the PDA.

In all cases, the PDA is set up in head.S, before a CPU starts running C code,
so the PDA is always available.

be44d2aabc [PATCH] i386: espfix cleanup
Clean up the espfix code:

- Introduced PER_CPU() macro to be used from asm
- Introduced GET_DESC_BASE() macro to be used from asm
- Rewrote the fixup code in asm, as calling a C code with the altered %ss
  appeared to be unsafe
- No longer altering the stack from a .fixup section
- 16bit per-cpu stack is no longer used, instead the stack segment base
  is patched the way so that the high word of the kernel and user %esp
  are the same.
- Added the limit-patching for the espfix segment. (Chuck Ebbert)
