This attached patch significantly shrinks boot memory allocation on ia64.
It does this by not allocating per_cpu areas for cpus that can never
exist.
In the case where acpi does not have any numa node description of the
cpus, I defaulted to assigning the first 32 round-robin on the known
nodes.. For the !CONFIG_ACPI I used for_each_possible_cpu().

A simple fix. The existing pernodesize reservation is not taking into
account a second array of pg_data_t structures. This is normally not
important because the PAGE_ALIGN macro reserves adequate space.
I made the compute_pernodesize steps in the same order as the fill_pernode
steps to make the correlation more clear.

The patch defines kernel parameter "nptcg=". The parameter overrides max number

According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize
ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have
scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB
in parallel.
The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).
PALO specification can be found at: http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf

This patch does:
- Remove outdated comments (which someday I marked with "?").
- Reassemble instructions to fit them in fewer bundles.
- If McKinley Errata 9 workaround is not needed, the workaround
bundles will be patched out with NOPs. However it also not
needed to have a totally NOP bundle (nop * 3) before branch.
As a result, this makes the code path 3 (or 2) bundles shorter
(and remove 1 unnecessary stop bit). It seems to be 1% faster.

When EFI_DEBUG is defined to a non-zero value in arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c,
the efi memory regions are displayed. This patch enhances the
display code in a few ways:
1. Use TB, GB and MB as well as KB as units.
Although this introduces rounding errors (KB doesn't as
size is always a multiple of 4Kb), it does make
things a lot more readable.
Also as the range is also shown, it is possible to note the exact size
if it is important. In my experience, the size field is mostly useful
for getting a general idea of the size of a region.
On the rx2620 that I use, there actually is an 8TB region (though not
backed by physical memory, and 8TB really is a lot more readable than
8589934592KB.
2. pad the size field with leading spaces to further improve readability
...

... ( 928MB)
... ( 3MB)
...
vs

3. Pad the attr field out to 64bits using leading zeros,
to further improve readability.

Fix the problem that the following error message is sometimes displayed
at irq migration when vector domain is enabled.
"Unexpected interrupt vector %d on CPU %d is not mapped to any IRQ!"
The cause of this problem is an interrupt is sent to the previous
target CPU after cleaning up vector to irq mapping table. To clean up
vector to irq map on the previous target CPU safty, change the irq
migration in multiple vector domain as follows. The original idea is
from x86 interrupt management code.
- Delay vector to irq table cleanup until the interrupts are sent
to new target CPUs. By this, it is ensured that target CPU is
completely changed on the interrupt controller side.
- Even after the interrupts are sent to new target CPUs, there can
be pended interrupts remaining on the previous target CPU. So we
need to delay clearning up vector to irq table until the pended
interrupt is handled. For this, send IPI to the previous target
CPU with lower priority vector and clean up vector to irq table
in its handler.
This patch affects only to irq migration code with multiple vector
domain is enabled.

This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.
The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have. By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.
The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

Commit bdc807871d58285737d50dc6163d0feb72cb0dc2 broke the build
for this config because the sim_defconfig selects CONFIG_HZ=250
but include/asm-ia64/param.h has an ifdef for the simulator to
force HZ to 32. So we ended up with a kernel/timeconst.h set
for HZ=250 ... which then failed the check for the right HZ
value and died with:
Drop the #ifdef magic from param.h and make force CONFIG_HZ=32
directly for the simulator.

This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport
from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review.
when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user
stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in
kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's
in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE
before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy
user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and
kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.

unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.
This patch:
VMCOREINFO_SIZE() should be renamed VMCOREINFO_STRUCT_SIZE() since it's always
returning the size of the struct with a given name. This change would allow
VMCOREINFO_TYPEDEF_SIZE() to simply become VMCOREINFO_SIZE() since it need not
be used exclusively for typedefs.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().
