If HPET was enabled by pci quirks, we use i8253 as initial clockevent because pci quirks doesn't run until pci is initialized. The above means the kernel (or something) is assuming HPET legacy replacement is disabled and can use i8253 at boot. If we used kexec, it isn't true. So, this patch disables HPET legacy replacement for kexec in machine_shutdown().

2007-11-29x86/paravirt: revert exports to restore old behaviourJeremy Fitzhardinge
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. > wbinvd(), too. > * 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.

2007-11-29uml: fix !NO_HZ busy-loopJeff Dike
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.

2007-11-29xen: mask _PAGE_PCD from ptesJeremy Fitzhardinge
_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.

2007-11-29Fix boot problem with iSeries lacking hugepage supportMel Gorman
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 patches. Additional credit goes to Andy Whitcroft for spotting a problem with respects to IA-64 before releasing. Additional credit to David Gibson for testing with the libhugetlbfs test suite.
