I believe at least for seccomp it's worth to turn off the tsc, not just for
HT but for the L2 cache too. So it's up to you, either you turn it off
completely (which isn't very nice IMHO) or I recommend to apply this below
patch.
This has been tested successfully on x86-64 against current cogito
repository (i686 compiles so I didn't bother testing ;). People selling
the cpu through cpushare may appreciate this bit for a peace of mind.
There's no way to get any timing info anymore with this applied
(gettimeofday is forbidden of course). The seccomp environment is
completely deterministic so it can't be allowed to get timing info, it has
to be deterministic so in the future I can enable a computing mode that
does a parallel computing for each task with server side transparent
checkpointing and verification that the output is the same from all the 2/3
seller computers for each task, without the buyer even noticing (for now
the verification is left to the buyer client side and there's no
checkpointing, since that would require more kernel changes to track the
dirty bits but it'll be easy to extend once the basic mode is finished).
Eliminating a cold-cache read of the cr4 global variable will save one
cacheline during the tlb flush while making the code per-cpu-safe at the
same time. Thanks to Mikael Pettersson for noticing the tlb flush wasn't
per-cpu-safe.
The global tlb flush can run from irq (IPI calling do_flush_tlb_all) but
it'll be transparent to the switch_to code since the IPI won't make any
change to the cr4 contents from the point of view of the interrupted code
and since it's now all per-cpu stuff, it will not race. So no need to
disable irqs in switch_to slow path.

This patch removes CONFIG_PMAC_PBOOK (PowerBook support). This is now
split into CONFIG_PMAC_MEDIABAY for the actual hotswap bay that some
powerbooks have, CONFIG_PM for power management related code, and just left
out of any CONFIG_* option for some generally useful stuff that can be used
on non-laptops as well.

The Power Management Unit on PowerMacs is very sensitive to timeouts during
async message exchanges. It uses rather crude protocol based on a shift
register with an interrupt and is almost continuously exchanging messages with
the host CPU on laptops.
This patch adds a routine to the open_pic driver to be able to select a PMU
driver so that it bumps it's interrupt priority to above the normal level.
This will allow PMU interrupts to occur while another interrupt is pending,
and thus reduce the risk of machine beeing abruptly shutdown by the PMU due to
a timeout in PMU communication caused by excessive interrupt latency. The
problem is very rare, and usually just doesn't happen, but it is still useful
to make things even more robust.

The proposed _tlbie call at update_mmu_cache() is safe because:
Addresses for which update_mmu_cache() gets invocated are never inside the
static kernel virtual mapping, meaning that there is no risk for the
_tlbie() here to be thrashing the pinned entry, as Dan suspected.
The intermediate TLB state in which this bug can be triggered is not
visible by userspace or any other contexts, except the page fault handling
path. So there is no need to worry about userspace dcbxxx users.
The other solution to this is to avoid dcbst misbehaviour in the first
place, which involves changing in-kernel "dcbst" callers to use 8xx
specific SPR's.
Summary:
On 8xx, cache control instructions (particularly "dcbst" from
flush_dcache_icache) fault as write operation if there is an unpopulated
TLB entry for the address in question. To workaround that, we invalidate
the TLB here, thus avoiding dcbst misbehaviour.

If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is
possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd
work struct has been flushed. The problem is the ordering of
cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd(). The
latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

- Adjust slice values
- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
first set up the queue.
- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.
- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).
- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
could be considered sync, when they were really async.
- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.
- Various other cleanups and fixes

In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing
one of two requests before and after the current one. Currently, when
choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next
candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request. This
results in weird scheduling. Once we reach the end, we always seek
backward.
The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate.
cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.
This import is based on my latest from -mm.

Add separate files for the different 8250 ISA-based serial boards.
Looking across all the various architectures, it seems reasonable that
we can key the availability of the configuration options for these
beasts to the bus-related symbols (iow, CONFIG_ISA). We also standardise
the base baud/uart clock rate for these boards - I'm sure that isn't
architecture specific, but is solely dependent on the crystal fitted
on the board (which should be the same no matter what type of machine
its fitted into.)

The race causes a kernel oops when smc_hardware_send_pkt() tries to
dereference pending_tx_skb which would have been freed from one of the
driver reset paths just after the tx_task tasklet has been scheduled.
This race is possible on SMP but was uncovered by the kernel RT work.
