- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash
kernel.
- crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has
occured. One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the
register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one.
Hence it has been inlined. More call frames later get pushed on to stack
(machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to
backtrace those.
- Not very sure about the CFI annotations. With this patch I am getting
decent backtrace with gdb. Assuming, compiler has generated enough
debugging information for crash_kexec(). Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure
assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't
want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop
this call frame.
- Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler
while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown.
- Introducing CRASH_DUMP option in Kconfig for x86_64.

- Implementing the machine_crash_shutdown for x86_64 which will be called by
crash_kexec (called in case of a panic, sysrq etc.). Here we do things
similar to i386. Disable the interrupts, shootdown the cpus and shutdown
LAPIC and IOAPIC.
Changes in this version:
- As the Eric's APIC initialization patches are reverted back, reintroducing
LAPIC and IOAPIC shutdown.
- Added some comments on CPU hotplug, modified code as suggested by Andi
kleen.

- This patch introduces the memmap option for x86_64 similar to i386.
- memmap=exactmap enables setting of an exact E820 memory map, as specified
by the user.
Changes in this version:
- Used e820_end_of_ram() to find the max_pfn as suggested by Andi kleen.
- removed PFN_UP & PFN_DOWN macros
- Printing the user defined map also.

crash_setup_regs() is an architecture dependent function which is called in
architecture independent section. So every architecture supporting kexec
should at least provide a dummy definition of crash_setup_regs() even if
crash dumping is not implemented yet, to avoid build failures.

- If system panics then cpu register states are captured through funciton
crash_get_current_regs(). This is not a inline function hence a stack frame
is pushed on to the stack and then cpu register state is captured. Later
this frame is popped and new frames are pushed (machine_kexec).
- In theory this is not very right as we are capturing register states for a
frame and that frame is no more valid. This seems to have created back
trace problems for ppc64.
- This patch fixes it up. The very first thing it does after entering
crash_kexec() is to capture the register states. Anyway we don't want the
back trace beyond crash_kexec(). crash_get_current_regs() has been made
inline
- crash_setup_regs() is the top architecture dependent function which should
be responsible for capturing the register states as well as to do some
architecture dependent tricks. For ex. fixing up ss and esp for i386.
crash_setup_regs() has also been made inline to ensure no new call frame is
pushed onto stack.

- Kexec on panic functionality allocates memory for saving cpu registers in
case of system crash event. Address of this allocated memory needs to be
exported to user space, which is used by kexec-tools.
- Previously, a single /sys/kernel/crash_notes entry was being exported as
memory allocated was a single continuous array. Now memory allocation being
dyanmic and per cpu based, address of per cpu buffer is exported through
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/crash_notes"

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
statically for NR_CPUS.
- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage.
- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.
- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is
architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be
allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

It seems the "make UID16 support optional" patch was checked when it
edited the -tiny tree some time ago, but it wasn't checked whether it
still matches the current situation when it was submitted for inclusion
in -mm. This patch fixes the following bugs:
- ARCH_S390X does no longer exist, nowadays this has to be expressed
through (S390 && 64BIT)
- in five architecture specific Kconfig files the UID16 options
weren't removed
Additionally, it changes the fragile negative dependencies of UID16 to
positive dependencies (new architectures are more likely to not require
UID16 support).

Add three (generic) mutex fastpath implementations.
The mutex-xchg.h implementation is atomic_xchg() based, and should
work fine on every architecture.
The mutex-dec.h implementation is atomic_dec_return() based - this
one too should work on every architecture, but might not perform the
most optimally on architectures that have no atomic-dec/inc instructions.
The mutex-null.h implementation forces all calls into the slowpath. This
is used for mutex debugging, but it can also be used on platforms that do
not want (or need) a fastpath at all.
