Attached patch fixes invalid pointer arithmetic in DMI code to make onboard
device discovery working again.
akpm: bug has been present since dmi_find_device() was added in 2.6.14.
Affects ipmi only (I think) - the symptoms weren't described.
akpm: changed to use pointer arithmetic rather than open-coded sizeof.

include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except
the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch.
This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle()
functions on different architectures:
- remove the unused function:
- parisc
- sparc64
- make the needlessly global function static:
- arm
- h8300
- m68k
- m68knommu
- s390
- v850
- x86_64
- add a prototype in asm/system.h:
- cris
- i386
- ia64

Yes. However, it's pretty clear that the e820 entries are there for a
reason. Probably they are a hack by the BIOS maintainers to keep Windows
from stomping/moving that region, exactly because they want to keep the
bridge where it is (or, it's actually for the BIOS itself - the BIOS
tables are a horrid mess, and BIOS engineers are pretty hacky people:
they'll add random entries to make their own broken algorithms do the
"right thing").

I think we could (and probably should) solve this another way: consider
the ACPI "reserved regions" from the e820 map exactly the same way that we
do other ACPI hints - they should restrict _new_ allocations, but not
impact stuff we figure out on our own.
Basically, right now we assign _unassigned_ resources at "fs_initcall"
time. If we were to add in the e820 "reserved region" stuff before that
(but after we've done PCI discovery), we'd probably do the right thing.
Right now we do the e820 reserved regions very early indeed: we call
"register_memory()" from setup_arch(). We could move at least part of it
(the part that registers the resources) down a bit.
Here's a test-patch. I'm not saying we should absolutely do this, but it
might be interesting to try...

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all. The correct way of doing this
is to test cpu_possible() or to use for_each_cpu().
This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS. I found very
few instances of this bug, if any. But the patch converts lots of open-coded
test to use the preferred helper macros.

Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen
due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs.
If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option.
It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single
time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs
to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed.
The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that
architectures other than x86 will find it useful.

Don't create "online" control file for BSP (i386/x86_64) since its
not removable.
We originally added this to support ppc64 if the kernel has support but
BIOS indicated no offline support, we just didnt create online files for
them.
We used the same method in ia64 as well, if we have a cpu taking platform
interrupts but cannot be removed if those interrupts cannot be re-targeted
to another cpu.

I am of the opinion that the above changeset is incomplete, i.e. it missed
converting some previous uses of user_mode to user_mode_vm. While most of
them could be considered just cosmetical, at least the one in die_nmi
doesn't appear to be.

callbacks
Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously
primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently
get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by
modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger
the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result.
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.
Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in-
kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed
memory inside their handlers.

The history is that -mm kernels do not work for me for a few months
already. The things started from crashing somewhere after starting init,
and for the last month - no boot at all, just "Uncompressing... OK,
booting kernel", and silence. Early console didn't work too. With the
latest releases this degraded into an infinite stream of the "Unknown
interrupt or fault" messages. So today my patience ran out and I started
to think how can I collect at least some info for the bug-report. Attached
is the patch that allows to gather some valueable debug info on the problem
by making an early console more useable. I can't properly test the patch,
as the kernel still doesn't boot, so I'll explain it in details in a hope
someone else can justify the intrusive changes.
arch_hooks.h: added prototypes for setup_early_printk() and early_printk().
setup.c: killed wrong setup_early_printk() prototype. Moved
setup_early_printk() a bit earlier, as it was not "early enough" to cover
the bug I was fighting with.
early_printk.c: made it to start printing from the bottom of the screen,
otherwise the messages interfere with the ones of the boot-loader, so you
can't read them.

Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different
code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP.
The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug.
With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and
when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number
of CPUs goes up to 2.
Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is
patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released
afterwards.
The changes in detail:
* The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file,
the SMP alternatives code is added there.
* The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel:
.smp_altinstructions
like .altinstructions, also contains a list
of alt_instr structs.
.smp_altinstr_replacement
like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to
save original instruction before replaving it.
.smp_locks
list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed
out on UP.
The first two are used to replace more complex instruction
sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible
to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling
them as special case the table sizes become much smaller.
* The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they
can be free if they are not needed.
* Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and
use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

Print stack backtraces in multiple columns, saving screen space. Number of
columns is configurable and defaults to one so behavior is
backwards-compatible.
Also removes the brackets around addresses when printing more
that one entry per line so they print as:
<address>
instead of:
[<address>]
This helps multiple entries fit better on one line.

When on_each_cpu() runs the callback on other CPUs, it runs with local
interrupts disabled. So we should run the function with local interrupts
disabled on this CPU, too.
And do the same for UP, so the callback is run in the same environment on both
UP and SMP. (strictly it should do preempt_disable() too, but I think
local_irq_disable is sufficiently equivalent).
Also uninlines on_each_cpu(). softirq.c was the most appropriate file I could
find, but it doesn't seem to justify creating a new file.
Oh, and fix up that comment over (under?) x86's smp_call_function(). It

Bryce reported a bug wherein offlining CPU0 (on x86 box) and then
subsequently onlining it resulted in a lockup.
On x86, CPU0 is never offlined. The subsequent attempt to online CPU0
doesn't take that into account. It actually tries to bootup the already
booted CPU. Following patch fixes the problem (as acknowledged by Bryce).
Please consider for inclusion in 2.6.16.

ATI chipsets tend to generate double timer interrupts for the local APIC
timer when both the 8254 and the IO-APIC timer pins are enabled. This is
because they route it to both and the result is anded together and the CPU
ends up processing it twice.
This patch changes check_timer to disable the 8254 routing for interrupt 0.
I think it would be safe on all chipsets actually (i tested it on a couple
and it worked everywhere) and Windows seems to do it in a similar way, but
to be conservative this patch only enables this mode on ATI (and adds
options to enable/disable too)
Ported over from a similar x86-64 change.
I reused the ACPI earlyquirk infrastructure for the ATI bridge check, but
tweaked it a bit to work even without ACPI.
Inspired by a patch from Chuck Ebbert, but redone.

While testing kexec and kdump we hit problems where the new kernel would
freeze or instantly reboot. The easiest way to trigger it was to kexec a
kernel compiled for CONFIG_M586 on an athlon cpu. Compiling for CONFIG_MK7
instead would work fine.
The patch fixes a few problems with the kexec inline asm.

Fix i386 nmi_watchdog that does not meet watchdog timeout condition. It
does not hit die_nmi when it should be triggered, because the current
nmi_watchdog_tick in arch/i386/kernel/nmi.c never count up alert_counter
like this:
void nmi_watchdog_tick (struct pt_regs * regs) {
if (last_irq_sums[cpu] == sum) {
alert_counter[cpu]++; <- count up alert_counter, but
if (alert_counter[cpu] == 5*nmi_hz)
die_nmi(regs, "NMI Watchdog detected LOCKUP");
alert_counter[cpu] = 0; <- reset alert_counter
This patch changes it back to the previous and working version.
This was found and originally written by Kohta NAKASHIMA.
(akpm: also uninline write_watchdog_counter(), saving 184 byets)

i386 timer_resume is updating jiffies, not jiffies_64. It looks there is a
potential overflow problem. And jiffies_64 and wall_jiffies should be
protected by xtime_lock.

TSC assumption on IBM systems"
This reverts commit 13a229abc25640813f1480c0478dfc6bdbc1c19e.
Quoth Andi:
"After some consideration and feedback from various people it turns
out this wasn't that good an idea. It has some problems and needs
more work. Since it was only an optimization anyways it's best to
just back it out again for now."

When compiling a non-default subarch, topology.c is missing from the kernel
build. This causes builds with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU to fail. In addition,
on Intel processors with cpuid level > 4, it causes intel_cacheinfo.c to
reference uninitialized data that should have been set up by the initcall
in topology.c which calls register_cpu. This causes a kernel panic on boot
on newer Intel processors. Moving topology.c to arch/i386/kernel fixes
both of these problems.
Thanks to Dan Hecht for finding and fixing this problem.

Recent GDT changes broke the SMP boot sequence if the booting CPU is
numbered anything other than zero. There's also a subtle source of error
in that the boot time CPU now uses cpu_gdt_table (which is actually the GDT
for booting CPUs in head.S). This patch fixes both problems by making GDT
descriptors themselves allocated from a per_cpu area and switching to them
in cpu_init(), which now means that cpu_gdt_table is exclusively used for
booting CPUs again.

Fix a problem seen on i686 machine with NX support where the instruction
could not be single stepped because of NX bit set on the memory pages
allocated by kprobes module. This patch provides allocation of instruction
solt so that the processor can execute the instruction from that location
similar to x86_64 architecture. Thanks to Bibo and Masami for testing this
patch.

I'm seeing a kernel panic on an ES7000-600 when booting in virtual wire
mode. The panic happens because smp_read_mpc() is passed a physical
address, and it should be virtual. I tested the attached patch on the
ES7000-600 and on a 2 cpu Dell box, and saw no problems on either.
