Read/Write APIC_LVTPC and APIC_LVTTHMR only,
if get_maxlvt() returns certain values.
This is done like everywhere else in i386/kernel/apic.c,
so I guess its correct.
Suspends/Resumes to disk fine and eleminates an smp_error_interrupt()

Here is a small patch for x86-64 which adds a cpufeature flag and
detection code for Intel's Branch Trace Store (BTS) feature. This
feature can be found on Intel P4 and Core 2 processors among others.
It can also be used by perfmon.
changelog:
- add CPU_FEATURE_BTS
- add Branch Trace Store detection

Move the irqbalance quirks for E7320/E7520/E7525(Errata 23 in
http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/30304203.pdf) to early
quirks.
And add a PCI quirk for these platforms to check(which happens very late
during the boot) if the APIC routing is indeed set to default flat mode.
This fixes the breakage(in x86_64) of this quirk due to cpu hotplug which
selects physical mode instead of the logical flat(as needed for this errata
workaround).

The final line of /proc/<pid>/maps on x86_64 for native 64-bit
tasks shows an incorrect ending address and incorrect permissions. There
is only a single page mapped in this vsyscall region, and it is accessible
for both read and execute.
The patch below fixes this. (Since 32-bit-compat tasks have a real vma
with correct perms/range, no change is necessary for that scenario.)
Before the patch, a "cat /proc/self/maps | tail -1" shows this:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffffe00000 ---p 00000000 [...]
After the patch, this is the output:

Port two patches from i386 to x86_64 delay.c to make sure all rounding is done
upward instead of downward.
There is no sign in commit messages that the mismatch was done on purpose, and
"delay() guarantees sleeping at least for the specified time" is still a valid
rule IMHO.
The original x86 patches are both from pre-GIT era, i.e.:
"[PATCH] round up in __udelay()" in commit
54c7e1f5cc6771ff644d7bc21a2b829308bd126f
"[PATCH] add 1 in __const_udelay()" in commit
42c77a9801b8877d8b90f65f75db758822a0bccc

Instead of adding all kinds of more quirks try various timer
routing variants in check_timer.
In particular this tries to handle quirks from:
- Nvidia NF2-4 reference BIOS: wrong timer override
- Asus: Wrong timer override but no HPET table
- ATI: require timer disabled in 8259
- Some boards: require timer enabled in 8259
We just try many of the the known variants in the hopefully right order
in check_timer.

Currently the idle loop has two nested loops -- one high level
in cpu_idle and in some low level idle functions another one.
Looping in the low level idle functions breaks the idle notifiers
because interrupts waking up sleep states need to execute
exit_idle() which is only in cpu_idle().
So don't do that, only loop in cpu_idle(). This only removes
code.
In some cases e.g. poll_idle the idle loop is a little longer
now because cpu_idle checks more things. I hope that isn't a problem
ACPI idle doesn't change behaviour because it never looped anyways.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Separate delayable work items from non-delayable work items be splitting them
into a separate structure (delayed_work), which incorporates a work_struct and
the timer_list removed from work_struct.
The work_struct struct is huge, and this limits it's usefulness. On a 64-bit
architecture it's nearly 100 bytes in size. This reduces that by half for the
non-delayable type of event.

a quick look at cpu_idle_wait() shows how broken that code is
on i386: it changes the init task's affinity map but never
restores it ...
and because all userspace tasks get forked by init, they all
inherited that single-CPU affinity mask. x86_64 cloned this
bug too.

this crash happened because it did not sanitize the dwarf2 data it
got, and got an unaligned stack pointer - which happily walked past
the process stack (and eventually reached the end of kernel memory
and pagefaulted there) due to this naive iteration condition:
HANDLE_STACK (((long) stack & (THREAD_SIZE-1)) != 0);
note that i386 is alot more conservative when it comes to trusting
stack pointers:
static inline int valid_stack_ptr(struct thread_info *tinfo, void *p)
{
return p > (void *)tinfo &&
p < (void *)tinfo + THREAD_SIZE - 3;
}
but the x86_64 code did not take this bit of i386 code.
The fix is to align the stack pointer.

Komuro reports that ISA interrupts do not work after a disable_irq(),
causing some PCMCIA drivers to not work, with messages like
eth0: Asix AX88190: io 0x300, irq 3, hw_addr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
eth0: found link beat
eth0: autonegotiation complete: 100baseT-FD selected
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!
...
Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> said:
"Now, edge-triggered interrupts are a _lot_ harder to mask, because the
Intel APIC is an unbelievable piece of sh*t, and has the edge-detect logic
_before_ the mask logic, so if a edge happens _while_ the device is
masked, you'll never ever see the edge ever again (unmasking will not
cause a new edge, so you simply lost the interrupt).
So when you "mask" an edge-triggered IRQ, you can't really mask it at all,
because if you did that, you'd lose it forever if the IRQ comes in while
you masked it. Instead, we're supposed to leave it active, and set a flag,
and IF the IRQ comes in, we just remember it, and mask it at that point
instead, and then on unmasking, we have to replay it by sending a
self-IPI."
This trivial patch solves the problem.

The vgetcpu per CPU initialization previously relied on CPU hotplug
events for all CPUs to initialize the per CPU state. That only
worked only on kernels with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU enabled. On the
others some CPUs didn't get their state initialized properly
and vgetcpu wouldn't work.
Change the initialization sequence to instead run in a normal
initcall (which runs after the normal CPU bootup) and initialize
all running CPUs there. Later hotplug CPUs are still handled
with an hotplug notifier.
This actually simplifies the code somewhat.

they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.
Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that
don't have HPET, but need a timer override.
We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,
but at least add a command line option to force the timer override
and let them boot.
