Since the addition of boot_cpu_init(), fixup_cpu_present_map() has been a
no-op. That's because fixup_cpu_present_map() won't touch cpu_present_map if
it has any bits set, and boot_cpu_init() sets a bit.
So remove fixup_cpu_present_map().
A consequence of this (actually of the boot_cpu_init() change) is that the
architecture _must_ populate cpu_present_map itself (probably in
smp_prepare_cpus()). fixup_cpu_present_map() won't do it any more.
If the architecture doesn't do this, it'll only bring up a single CPU.
The other side effect (though less serious) is that smp_prepare_boot_cpu() no
longer needs to mark the boot cpu in the online and present maps -
boot_cpu_init() does that for everyone (to make early printks work).

tlclk calls register_chrdev() and permits register_chrdev() to allocate the

present you still get "telco_clock" appearing in /proc/devices and, I assume,
an oops reading /proc/devices if tlclk was a module.
Fix.

It adds an "ipmi" driver interface that has each BMC discovered by the
driver (as a device). These BMCs appear in the devices/platform directory.
If there are multiple interfaces to the same BMC, the driver should
discover this and will only have one BMC entry. The BMC entry will have
pointers to each interface device that connects to it.
The device information (statistics and config information) has not yet been
ported over to the driver model from proc, that will come later.

Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
physical addresses. So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.
This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.
This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.
Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
systems. That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
for ia64.

dmi_scan_machine() tries to ioremap 0x10000 (64K) bytes, even though it only
looks at the first 32 bytes or so. If the SMBIOS table is near the end of a
memory region, the ioremap() may fail when it shouldn't.
This is in the efi_enabled path, so it really only affects ia64 at the moment.

Enable DMI table parsing on ia64.
Andi Kleen has a patch in his x86_64 tree which enables the use of i386
dmi_scan.c on x86_64. dmi_scan.c functions are being used by the
drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si_intf.c driver for autodetecting the ports or
memory spaces where the IPMI controllers may be found.
This patch adds equivalent changes for ia64 as to what is in the x86_64
tree. In addition, I reworked the DMI detection, such that on EFI-capable
systems, it uses the efi.smbios pointer to find the table, rather than
brute-force searching from 0xF0000. On non-EFI systems, it continues the
brute-force search.
My test system, an Intel S870BN4 'Tiger4', aka Dell PowerEdge 7250, with
latest BIOS, does not list the IPMI controller in the ACPI namespace, nor
does it have an ACPI SPMI table. Also note, currently shipping Dell x8xx
EM64T servers don't have these either, so DMI is the only method for
obtaining the address of the IPMI controller.

Currently /proc/iomem exports physical memory also apart from io device
memory. But on i386, it truncates any memory more than 4GB. This leads to
problems for kexec/kdump.
Kexec reads /proc/iomem to determine the system memory layout and prepares a
memory map based on that and passes it to the kernel being kexeced. Given the
fact that memory more than 4GB has been truncated, new kernel never gets to
see and use that memory.
Kdump also reads /proc/iomem to determine the physical memory layout of the
system and encodes this informaiton in ELF headers. After a crash new kernel
parses these ELF headers being used by previous kernel and vmcore is prepared
accordingly. As memory more than 4GB has been truncated, kdump never sees
that memory and never prepares ELF headers for it. Hence vmcore is truncated
and limited to 4GB even if there is more physical memory in the system.
This patch exports memory more than 4GB through /proc/iomem on i386.

However, nothing has flushed the kernel cache view of the page before the

It has been discovered that the remove_proc_entry has a race in the removing
of entries in the proc file system that are siblings. There's no protection
around the traversing and removing of elements that belong in the same
subdirectory.
This subdirectory list is protected in other areas by the BKL. So the BKL was
at first used to protect this area too, but unfortunately, remove_proc_entry
may be called with spinlocks held. The BKL may schedule, so this was not a
solution.
The final solution was to add a new global spin lock to protect this list,
called proc_subdir_lock. This lock now protects the list in
remove_proc_entry, and I also went around looking for other areas that this
list is modified and added this protection there too. Care must be taken
since these locations call several functions that may also schedule.
Since I don't see any location that these functions that modify the
subdirectory list are called by interrupts, the irqsave/restore versions of
the spin lock was _not_ used.
