We can't safely directly access an compat_alloc_user_space() pointer

READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabling
Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC. On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well. The same binary
executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.
This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.
It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
for binaries that have the exec_stack flag. Which is probably a valid
point. However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
same for ia32 binaries as i386.
The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.

screen_info.h doesn't have anything to do with the tty layer and shouldn't be
included by tty.h. This patches removes the include and modifies all users to
directly include screen_info.h. struct screen_info is mainly used to
communicate with the console drivers in drivers/video/console. Note that this
patch touches every arch and I have no way of testing it. If there is a
mistake the worst thing that will happen is a compile error.

and UTS_RELEASE that contains a subset from git SHA1 for when
kernel was compiled as part of a git repository.
This had the unfortunate side-effect that all files including version.h
would be recompiled when some git changes was made due to changes SHA1.

This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.
While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.
This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.
We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
This patch:
rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.
I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.
So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

Memory hotplug code of i386 adds memory to only highmem. So, if
CONFIG_HIGHMEM is not set, CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG shouldn't be set.
Otherwise, it causes compile error.
In addition, many architecture can't use memory hotplug feature yet. So, I
introduce CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG.

sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in
/sys/devices/system/cpu/ control the MC/SMT power savings policy for the
scheduler.
Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups
cpu power will be determined for different domains. When power savings
policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize
the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving
power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics... see OLS
2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..)

In 2.6.17, there was a problem with cpu_notifiers and XFS. I provided a
band-aid solution to solve that problem. In the process, i undid all the
changes you both were making to ensure that these notifiers were available
only at init time (unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
We deferred the real fix to 2.6.18. Here is a set of patches that fixes the
XFS problem cleanly and makes the cpu notifiers available only at init time
(unless CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined).
If CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is defined then cpu notifiers are available at run
time.
This patch reverts the notifier_call changes made in 2.6.17

Remove the limit of 256 interrupt vectors by changing the value stored in
orig_{e,r}ax to be the complemented interrupt vector. The orig_{e,r}ax
needs to be < 0 to allow the signal code to distinguish between return from
interrupt and return from syscall. With this change applied, NR_IRQS can
be > 256.
Xen extends the IRQ numbering space to include room for dynamically
allocated virtual interrupts (in the range 256-511), which requires a more
permissive interface to do_IRQ.

Note: Powerpc's old add_memory() is defined as __devinit. However,
add_memory() is usually called only after bootup.
I suppose it may be redundant. But, I'm not well known about powerpc.
So, I keep it. (But, __meminit is better at least.)

Take two, now without spurious whitespace :( Applies to git & 2.6.17-rc6
CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW existed for x86_64 in 2.4, but seems to have gone AWOL in 2.6.
I've pretty much just copied this over from the 2.4 code, with
appropriate tweaks for the 2.6 kernel, plus a bugfix. I'd personally
rather see it printed out the way other arches do it, i.e.
bytes-remaining-until-overflow, rather than having to do the subtraction
yourself. Also, only 128 bytes remaining seems awfully late to issue a
warning. But I'll start here :)

Intel now has support for Architectural Performance Monitoring Counters
( Refer to IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253669.htm ). This
feature is present starting from Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo processors.
What this means is, the performance monitoring counters and some performance
monitoring events are now defined in an architectural way (using cpuid).
And there will be no need to check for family/model etc for these architectural
events.
Below is the patch to use this performance counters in nmi watchdog driver.

On some i386/x86_64 systems, sending an NMI IPI as a broadcast will
reset the system. This seems to be a BIOS bug which affects machines
where one or more cpus are not under OS control. It occurs on HT
systems with a version of the OS that is not compiled without HT
support. It also occurs when a system is booted with max_cpus=n where
2 <= n < cpus known to the BIOS. The fix is to always send NMI IPI as
a mask instead of as a broadcast.
