9c01dda02f [PATCH] x86_64: Search K8 devices on more devices.
arch/x86_64/kernel/aperture.c: The search for the AGP bridge has been
extended to search for all the 256 buses instead of the first 32. This
is required since on a some systems, the bridge may be located on a bus
much farther than the first 32. By searching all 256 buses, we guarantee
that the search succeeds on such systems.

arch/x86_64/kernel/pci-gart.c: The search for the Northbridge is not
limited to just bus 0 anymore. This is required because on certain
systems, we may not find one on bus 0.

Have the GART_IOMMU help text specify that this is the hardware IOMMU in
amd64 processors.  This will be significant if/when other IOMMUs are

>3GB memory instead of >4GB.  This is fixed in the newer version.

da7ed9f98f [PATCH] x86_64: timer interrupt lockup due to pending interrupt
o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash
  on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be
  locked.

o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
  interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
  sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
  pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
  is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
  interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
  locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
  EOI.

o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.

o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
  boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
  mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
  probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

4bdc3b7f1b [PATCH] x86_64: Basic reorder infrastructure
This patch puts the infrastructure in place to allow for a reordering of
functions based inside the vmlinux. The general idea is that it is possible
to put all "common" functions into the first 2Mb of the code, so that they
are covered by one TLB entry. This as opposed to the current situation where
a typical vmlinux covers about 3.5Mb (on x86-64) and thus 2 TLB entries.

This is done by enabling the -ffunction-sections flag in gcc, which puts
each function in its own ELF section, so that the linker can then order them
in a way defined by the linker script.

As per previous discussions, Linus said he wanted a "static" list for this,
eg a list provided by the kernel tarbal, so that most people have the same
ordering at least. A script is provided to create this list based on
readprofile(1) output. The included list is provisional, and entirely biased
on my own testbox and me running a few kernel compiles and some other
things.

I think that to get to a better list we need to invite people to submit
their own profiles, and somehow add those all up and base the final list on
that. I'm willing to do that effort if this is ends up being the prefered
approach. Such an effort probably needs to be repeated like once a year or
so to adopt to the changing nature of the kernel.

Made it a CONFIG with default n because it increases link times
dramatically.

eaeae0cc98 [PATCH] x86_64: Patch to make the head.S-must-be-first-in-vmlinux order explicit
This patch puts the code from head.S in a special .bootstrap.text
section.

I'm working on a patch to reorder the functions in the kernel (I'll post
that later), but for x86-64 at least the kernel bootstrap requires that
the head.S functions are on the very first page/pages of the kernel
text.  This is understandable since the bootstrap is complex enough
already and not a problem at all, it just means they aren't allowed to
be reordered.  This patch puts these special functions into a separate
section to document this, and to guarantee this in the light of possibly
reordering the rest later.

(So this patch doesn't fix a bug per se, but makes things more robust by
making the order of these functions explicit)

In a micro-benchmark that stresses the pagefault path, the down_read_trylock
on the mmap_sem showed up quite high on the profile. Turns out this lock is

prefetches the lock (for write) as early as possible (and before some other
somewhat expensive operations). With this patch, the down_read_trylock
basically fell out of the top of profile.

60c1bc82d9 [PATCH] x86_64: to use lapic ids instead of initial apic ids
phys_proc_id[] on AMD boxes is right now populated with the initial
apic id, obtained by the cpuid instruction.  But, the initial apic id
need not be the local apic id on clustered APIC systems (see comment at
x86_64/kernel/genapic_cluster.c, line 110).  On vSMPowered with AMD
CPUs the cpu_to_node will turn out to be incorrect (as apicid_to_node[] is
indexed by the initial apic id rather than the local apic id).
On vSMPowered boxes with Intel CPUs this is working correctly as
phys_proc_id[] is initialized correctly in detect_ht().

This fixes AMD boot path according to specification, to use the correct
routines for local apic id and socket ids.  We use
hard_smp_processor_id() to read the local apic id, and phys_pkg_id() to
determine socket id for phys_proc_id[]

Patch tested on Tyan multicore boxes as well as vSMPowered boxes.

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.

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.

thj former.

893efca927 [PATCH] x86_64: disallow multi-byte hardware execution breakpoints
While AMD formally permits multi-byte execution breakpoints, Intel
disallows 8-byte as much as 2- or 4-byte ones.

Fix one place where the previous change of cpu_pda from being an array
to being a macro was not properly carried out.

It conflicts with the struct node in node.h
Actually the x86-64 version was there first, but ..

913bd90601 [PATCH] x86_64: Increase the variability of the process stack on 64bit architectures
8MB is not really very random, use 1GB (or more with larger page sizes)
instead.

Also use the low bits of the random generator output now instead of
throwing them away.

Only enabled on x86-64 right now. Other architectures need to add
a suitable STACK_RND_MASK

dca99a38bc [PATCH] x86-64: Use -mtune=generic for generic kernels
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.
