2008-01-30x86: replace hard coded reservations in 64-bit early boot code with dynamic ↵Andi Kleen
table On x86-64 there are several memory allocations before bootmem. To avoid them stomping on each other they used to be all hard coded in bad_area(). Replace this with an array that is filled as needed. This cleans up the code considerably and allows to expand its use.

2008-01-30x86: use the correct cpuid method to detect MWAIT support for C statesAndi Kleen
Previously there was a AMD specific quirk to handle the case of AMD Fam10h MWAIT not supporting any C states. But it turns out that CPUID already has ways to detectly detect that without using special quirks. The new code simply checks if MWAIT supports at least C1 and doesn't use it if it doesn't. No more vendor specific code. Note this is does not simply clear MWAIT because MWAIT can be still useful even without C states. Credit goes to Ben Serebrin for pointing out the (nearly) obvious.

2008-01-30x86: adjust/fix LDT handling for XenJan Beulich
Based on patch from Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com>. Don't rely on kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) returning PAGE_SIZE aligned memory (Xen requires GDT *and* LDT to be page-aligned). Using the page allocator interface also removes the (albeit small) slab allocator overhead. The same change being done for 64-bits for consistency. Further, the Xen hypercall interface expects the LDT address to be virtual, not machine.

2008-01-30x86: isolate PIC/PIT in/out callsAlan Cox
Rather than remove and/or mangle inb_p/outb_p we want to remove the use of them from inappropriate places. For the PIC/PIT this may eventually depend on 32/64bitism or similar so start by adding inb/outb_pit and inb/outb_pic so that we can make them use any scheme we settle on without disturbing the existing, correct (for ISA), port 0x80 usage. (eg we can make inb_pit use udelay without messing up inb_p). Floppy already does this for the fdc. That really only leaves the CMOS as a core logic item to tackle, and bits of parallel port handling in the chipset layers.

2008-01-30x86: fix singlestep handling in reenter_kprobeAbhishek Sagar
Highlight peculiar cases in singles-step kprobe handling. In reenter_kprobe(), a breakpoint in KPROBE_HIT_SS case can only occur when single-stepping a breakpoint on which a probe was installed. Since such probes are single-stepped inline, identifying these cases is unambiguous. All other cases leading up to KPROBE_HIT_SS are possible bugs. Identify and WARN_ON such cases.

2008-01-30x86: fix synchronize_rcu(): high latency on idle systemBenjamin LaHaise
an otherwise idle system takes about 3 ticks per network interface in unregister_netdev() due to multiple calls to synchronize_rcu(), which adds up to quite a few seconds for tearing down thousands of interfaces. By flushing pending rcu callbacks in the idle loop, the system makes progress hundreds of times faster. If this is indeed a sane thing to, it probably needs to be done for other architectures than x86. And yes, the network stack shouldn't call synchronize_rcu() quite so much, but fixing that is a little more involved.

This only affects kernels built with the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER config option enabled, and greatly reduces the amount of noise in oopses. This code uses the traditional method of doing backtraces, but if it finds a valid frame pointer chain, will use that to show which parts of the backtrace are reliable and which parts are not Due to the fragility and importance of the backtrace code, this needs to be well reviewed and well tested before merging into mainlne.

get_segment_eip has similarities to convert_rip_to_linear(), and is used in a similar context. Move get_segment_eip to step.c to allow easier consolidation.

2008-01-30x86: introduce __die helper to X86_32Harvey Harrison
Small step towards unifying traps_32|64.c. No functional changes. Pull out a small helper from an if() statement in die(). Marked as __kprobes as eventually we will want to call this from do_page_fault similar to how X86_64 does it.

2008-01-30x86: change x86 machine check handler to use unlocked_ioctl insteadNikanth Karthikesan
The machine check handler registers ioctl handler that is called with the BKL held. Changing to register unlocked_ioctl instead. Also mce ioctl handler does not seem to need any lock protection. To: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Cc: kernel-janitors@vger.kernel.org Change the Machine check handler to use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl handler.

2008-01-30i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)H. Peter Anvin
The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot loader. This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time field. Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself. Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel. Signed-off-by: H.
