ES7000 platform code clean up for compilation errors and a warning.
Ifdef'd the ACPI related parts in the ES7000 platform code. They were
causing compile errors in certain configuration (without ACPI defined). I
think this approach would be best (as opposed to Kconfig changes) since it
only touches the subarch...

When vendor-specific i386 initialization code is unavailable the kernel
falls back to a default CPU model name. Make that model name reflect the
CPU family instead of an internal vendor index.
Tested on Pentium II (family 6 model 5).
/proc/cpuinfo before:
model name : ff/05
after:
model name : 06/05

Several places in arch/i386/kernel/cpu and kernel/cpu were using __devinit
when they should have been __cpuinit. Fixing that saves ~4K when
CONFIG_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

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.
Original idea by Dave Jones, taken from x86_64.

Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced
is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to
verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping.
is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement
prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own.
Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same
implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which
implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never
used.
In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it
suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range,
whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed).
This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead
prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default
version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a
hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply
checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to
being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks
for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to
set up new areas for use by hugepages.
No libhugetlbfs testsuite regressions on ppc64 (POWER5 LPAR).

Remove the inlining of the new vs old mmap system call common code. This
reduces the size of the resulting vmlinux for defconfig as follows:

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
drives me nuts.

Instead of running "make oldconfig" on the old defconfig and trying to
give reasonable answers at all new options, this patch replaces it with

hi,
The motivation behind the patch below was to address messages in
/var/log/messages such as:
Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=252 name_count=0: freeing
multiple contexts (1)
Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=113 name_count=0: freeing
multiple contexts (2)
I can reproduce by running 'get-edid' from:
http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/.
These messages come about in the log b/c the vm86 calls do not exit via
the normal system call exit paths and thus do not call
'audit_syscall_exit'. The next system call will then free the context for
itself and for the vm86 context, thus generating the above messages. This
patch addresses the issue by simply adding a call to 'audit_syscall_exit'
from the vm86 code.
Besides fixing the above error messages the patch also now allows vm86
system calls to become auditable. This is useful since strace does not
appear to properly record the return values from sys_vm86.
I think this patch is also a step in the right direction in terms of
cleaning up some core auditing code. If we can correct any other paths
that do not properly call the audit exit and entries points, then we can
also eliminate the notion of context chaining.
I've tested this patch by verifying that the log messages no longer
appear, and that the audit records for sys_vm86 appear to be correct.
Also, 'read_edid' produces itentical output.
thanks,
-Jason

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.

Changes in this patch:
- Keep all targets that are to be marked .PHONY in a variable, PHONY.
- Add .PHONY: $(PHONY) to mark them properly.
- Remove any $(PHONY) files from the $? list when determining whether
targets are up-to-date or not.

I think we can actually use the generic ones, so I don't propose

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.

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.
