Subdividing the paravirt_ops structure caused a regression in certain
non-GPL modules which try to use mmu_ops and cpu_ops. This restores the
old behaviour, and makes it consistent with the non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT case.
Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> adds:
> I took at this problem (as I have an nvidia card on one of my
> workstations), and found out that the following suffer from
> EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL changes:

> * local_disable_irq(), local_irq_save*(), etc.
> * MSR-related macros like rdmsr(), wrmsr(), read_cr0(), etc.

> * pmd_val(), pgd_val(), etc are all involved with pv_mm_ops.
> pmd_large() and pmd_bad() is also indirectly involved.
> __flush_tlb() and friends suffer, too.
Christoph Hellwig objects to this patch on the grounds that modules
shouldn't be using these operations anyway. I don't think this is a
particularly good reason to reject the patch, for several reasons:
1. These operations are still available to modules when not using
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, since they are implicitly exported as inline
functions via the kernel headers. Exporting the same functionality as
GPL-only symbols just adds a gratuitious difference between
CONFIG_PARAVIRT and non-CONFIG_PARAVIRT configurations. If we really
think these operations are not for module use (or non-GPL module use),
then we should solve the problem in a general way.
2. It's a regression from previous kernels, which would work these
modules even with CONFIG_PARAVIRT enabled.
3. The operations in question seem pretty reasonable for modules to
use. The control registers/MSRs can be accessed directly anyway, so there's
no benefit in preventing modules from using standard interfaces. And it seems
reasonable to allow a graphics driver to create its own mappings if it wants.
Therefore, I think this patch should go in for 2.6.24. If people
really think that these operations should not be available to modules,
then we can address that separately.

Arrange the sections in the FRV arch so that a BRA instruction with a
16-bit displacement can always reach from the trap table to entry.S,
tlb-miss.S and break.S.
The problem otherwise is that the linker can insert sufficient code between
the slots in the trap table and the targets of the branch instructions in
those slots that the displacement field in the instruction isn't
sufficiently large. This is because the branch targets were in the .text
section along with most of the other code in the kernel.

With NO_HZ disabled, the UML idle loop effectively becomes a busy loop, as
it will sleep for no time.
The cause was forgetting to restart the tick after waking up from sleep.
It was disabled before sleeping, and the remaining time used as the
interval to sleep. So, the tick needs to be restarted when nanosleep
finishes.
This is done by introducing after_sleep_interval, which is empty in the
NO_HZ case, but which sets the tick starting in the !NO_HZ case.

_PAGE_PCD maps a page with caching disabled, which is typically used for
mapping harware registers. Xen never allows it to be set on a mapping, and
unprivileged guests never need it since they can't see the real underlying
hardware. However, some uncached mappings are made early when probing the
(non-existent) APIC, and its OK to mask off the PCD flag in these cases.
This became necessary because Xen started checking for this bit, rather
than silently masking it off.

Ordinarily the size of a pageblock is determined at compile-time based on the
hugepage size. On PPC64, the hugepage size is determined at runtime based on
what is supported by the machine. With legacy machines such as iSeries that
do not support hugepages, HPAGE_SHIFT is 0. This results in pageblock_order
being set to -PAGE_SHIFT and a crash results shortly afterwards.
This patch adds a function to select a sensible value for pageblock order by
default when HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE is set. It checks that HPAGE_SHIFT
is a sensible value before using the hugepage size; if it is not MAX_ORDER-1
is used.
This is a fix for 2.6.24.
Credit goes to Stephen Rothwell for identifying the bug and testing candidate

with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson

In order to work around old LILO versions providing an invalid ss
register, the current setup code always sets up a new stack,
immediately following .bss and the heap. But this breaks LOADLIN.
This rewrite of the workaround checks for an invalid stack (ss!=ds)
first, and leaves ss:sp alone otherwise (apart from aligning esp).
[hpa note: LOADLIN has a number of arbitrary hard-coded limits that
are being pushed up against. Without some major revision of LOADLIN
itself it will not be sustainable keeping it alive. This gives it
another brief lease on life, however. This patch also helps the
cmdline truncation problem with old versions of SYSLINUX.]

For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

__kuser_cmpxchg
The ARM __kuser_cmpxchg routine is meant to implement an atomic cmpxchg
in user space. It however can produce spurious false negative if a
processor exception occurs in the middle of the operation. Normally
this is not a problem since cmpxchg is typically called in a loop until
it succeeds to implement an atomic increment for example.
Some use cases which don't involve a loop require that the operation be
100% reliable though. This patch changes the implementation so to
reattempt the operation after an exception has occurred in the critical
section rather than abort it.
Here's a simple program to test the fix (don't use CONFIG_NO_HZ in your
kernel as this depends on a sufficiently high interrupt rate):
#include <stdio.h>
typedef int (__kernel_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, int *ptr);
#define __kernel_cmpxchg (*(__kernel_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0)
int main()
{
int i, x = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 100000000; i++) {
int v = x;
if (__kernel_cmpxchg(v, v+1, &x))
printf("failed at %d: %d vs %d\n", i, v, x);
}
printf("done with %d vs %d\n", i, x);
return 0;
}

The AITC code did not allow to start kernel, if bootloader
manipulates with interrupt level mask. The change ensures,
that NIMASK is initialized into correct state and that
interrupts enable registers are cleared.

warmbloodedcreature@gmail.com reported that an APIC-enabled
Asus a7v8x-x with an Athlon XP reboots early in the bootup:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8723
after a long marathon of spontaneous-reboot debugging, it turns
out to be caused by sync_Arb_ids(). AMD CPUs never really needed
this sequence anyway, so just return early if we meet an AMD CPU.

The latest KVM driver wants to use the empty_zero_page symbol, and it's
not exported in 32-bit x86 (although it is exported by x86_64, s390, and

HP ProLiant systems DL385 G2 and DL585 G2 need pci=bfsort to enumerate PCI
devices in the expected order.
Matt sayeth:
biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need
to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any
distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8
for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev
helper.
For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope
biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.

x86: correctly set UTS_MACHINE for "make ARCH=x86"
For a kernel built with "make ARCH=x86" the following system
information is displayed when running the new kernel
$ uname -m
x86
On some i386 systems (e.g. K7) we even have the following information
$ uname -m
x66
This is weird. The usual information for "uname -m" should be "x86_64"
on 64-bit and "i386" or "i686" on 32-bit.
This patch fixes the issue by setting UTS_MACHINE to "i386" for 32-bit
kernel builds and to "x86_64" for 64-bit kernel builds. I.e., "x86"
won't be used for UTS_MACHINE anymore.

today, all oopses contain a version number of the kernel, which is nice
because the people who actually do bother to read the oops get this
vital bit of information always without having to ask the reporter in
another round trip.
However, WARN_ON() and many other dump_stack() users right now lack this
information; the patch below adds this. This information is essential
for getting people to use their time effectively when looking at these
things; in addition, it's essential for tools that try to collect
statistics about defects.
Please consider, since its so simple and important for long term kernel
quality processes.
The code is identical between 32/64 bit; a lot of this code should be
unified over time, the patch keeps the identical-ness intact.

More than 3 years ago Niclas Gustafsson reported a 'stopped time'
problem:

This may be because buggy SMM firmware messes with the 8259A (configured
for a transparent mode -- yes that rare "local-APIC-edge" mode is tricky
;-) ) insanely.
this should resolve:

The AT91 I2C driver is currently marked as "broken" due to hardware
issues. This patch enables AT91-based platforms to also use the
bitbanged GPIO for I2C.
This updates platform setup logic (setting up an i2c-gpio device
using the same pins as the i2c-at91 device, unless only the BROKEN
driver is enabled).
Also make use of the new-style initialization of I2C devices using
i2c_register_board_info().
