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.

2008-01-30x86: add ENDPROC() markersJohn Reiser

Unfortunately, the 64 bit x86 tree does not yet have this feature, making diagnosing backtraces harder than needed. This patch adds this feature in the same was as the 32 bit tree has (including the same kernel boot parameter), and including a bugfix to make the code use probe_kernel_address() rarther than a buggy (deadlocking) __get_user.

on x86-64 x86 32 bit already has this feature: This patch uses the stack frames with frame pointer into an exact stack trace, by following the frame pointer. 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.

This is needed pre work in order to get exact backtraces for CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER to work.

That's not very nice; we can do better and still print a decent backtrace.

Check the APIC timer calibration result for sanity. When the frequency is out of range, issue a warning and disable the local APIC timer. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-01-30x86 setup: correct the base in the GDT_ENTRY() macroH. Peter Anvin
The GDT_ENTRY() macro in pm.c would incorrectly cut the bottom 8 bits off the base. We didn't define any bases with the bottom 8 bits nonzero, so it is a non-manifest bug, but it's still a bug.

2008-01-30x86 setup: guard the heap against invalid stack setupsH. Peter Anvin
If we use the bootloader-provided stack pointer, we might end up in a situation where the bootloader (incorrectly) pointed the stack in the middle of our heap. Catch this by simply comparing the computed heap end value to the stack pointer minus the defined stack size. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86 setup: push video mode setup as late as possibleH. Peter Anvin
Push video mode setup as late as possible; messages issued through the BIOS interface after video mode setup will either not be seen (for framebuffer modes) or will screw up the cursor (for text modes.) In particular, this makes the EDD probing message show up correctly. Signed-off-by: H.

2008-01-30x86 setup: be more verbose when probing EDDdevzero@web.de
On early boot, probing the Bios for EDD happens without any message. Enhanced Disk Drive Services (EDD) is a mechanism to match x86 BIOS device names (int13 device 80h) to Linux device names (e.g. /dev/sda, /dev/hda) There are buggy Bios out there having problems with EDD. This can be problems with the Bios itself or with addon cards, too. This patch is adds an informational message on early boot. CONFIG_EDD is not set with defconfig, but with allmodconfig (i.e. CONFIG_EDD=m) so the EDD probe may be active on early boot on many systems nowadays. I can tell, that the probe is active on SuSE distro and with that I have seen more than one system hanging endlessly with those "black screen with a blinking cursor in the the upper left" on installation, making it difficult for the end- user to find out, what`s the issue. For sure I have seen this on FujitsuSiemens PCs with i810 and with i815 chipset. This one also honours the "quiet" bootparam.

2008-01-30x86 setup: early cmdline parser handle boolean optionsdevzero@web.de
This patch extends the early commandline parser to support boolean options. The current version in mainline only supports parsing "option=arg" value pairs. With this it should be easy making other messages like "Uncompressing kernel" honour the "quiet" parameter, too. Signed-off-by: Roland Kletzing <devzero@web.de> Signed-off-by: H.
