These are the i386-specific pieces to enable reliable stack traces. This is
going to be even more useful once CFI annotations get added to he assembly
code, namely to entry.S.

Adjust the CFA offset for 64- and 32-bit syscall entries so that the five
slots pre-subtracted from the stack pointer do not appear to reside outside
of the current frame.

Change the switching to/from the IRQ stack so that unwind annotations can
be added for it without requiring CFA expressions.
AK: I cleaned it up a bit, making it unconditional and removing the
obsolete DEBUG_INFO full frame code.

These are the x86_64-specific pieces to enable reliable stack traces. The
only restriction with this is that it currently cannot unwind across the
interrupt->normal stack boundary, as that transition is lacking proper
annotation.

In x86_64 architecture, if device driver with msi function
gets 0xee vector by assign_irq_vector() function, system will
crash if this interrupt happens. It is because 0xee interrupt
entry is empty. This patch modifies this. This patch is based
on 2.6.17-rc6.

- Rename the GART_IOMMU option to IOMMU to make clear it's not
just for AMD
- Rewrite the help text to better emphatise this fact
- Make it an embedded option because too many people get it wrong.
To my astonishment I discovered the aacraid driver tests this
symbol directly. This looks quite broken to me - it's an internal
implementation detail of the PCI DMA API. Can the maintainer
please clarify what this test was intended to do?

Fix a potential deadlock scenario introduced by io_apic.c's new vector_lock
on i386 and x86_64.
Found by the locking correctness validator. The patch was boot-tested on
x86. For details of the deadlock scenario, see the validator output:

[ BUG: hard-safe -> hard-unsafe lock order detected! ]
------------------------------------------------------
idle/1 [HC0[0]:SC0[0]:HE0:SE1] is trying to acquire:
(msi_lock){....}, at: [<c04ff8d2>] startup_msi_irq_wo_maskbit+0x10/0x35
and this task is already holding:
(&irq_desc[i].lock){++..}, at: [<c015b924>] probe_irq_on+0x36/0x107
which would create a new lock dependency:
(&irq_desc[i].lock){++..} -> (msi_lock){....}
but this new dependency connects a hard-irq-safe lock:
(&irq_desc[i].lock){++..}
... which became hard-irq-safe at:

[<c015aff5>] __do_IRQ+0x3d/0x113
[<c01062d3>] do_IRQ+0x8c/0xad
to a hard-irq-unsafe lock:

... which became hard-irq-unsafe at:

It was originally added for 2.4 oprofile, but 2.6 oprofile doesn't
need that anymore. Shouldn't be any use in tree anymore and it doesn't
make much sense to export the ia32 syscalls when the main syscalls
are not exported.
I think Adrian Bunk asked for removing it several times.
Also included hunk from Adrian to remove the .globl ia32_sys_call_table

- Factor out the duplicated access/cache code into a single file
* Shared between i386/x86-64.
- Share flush code between AGP and IOMMU
* Fix a bug: AGP didn't wait for end of flush before
- Drop 8 northbridges limit and allocate dynamically
- Add lock to serialize AGP and IOMMU GART flushes
- Add PCI ID for next AMD northbridge
- Random related cleanups
The old K8 NUMA discovery code is unchanged. New systems
should all use SRAT for this.

A trivial change to have gart_unmap_sg call gart_unmap_single directly,
instead of bouncing through the dma_unmap_single wrapper in
dma-mapping.h.
This change required moving the gart_unmap_single above gart_unmap_sg,
and under gart_map_single (which seems a more logical place that its
current location IMHO).

Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:
* alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
* one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
nop'ed out for non-smp.
* two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
* fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.
The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from
compile-time to runtime.

Intel systems report the cache level data from CPUID 4 in sysfs.
Add a CPUID 4 emulation for AMD CPUs to report the same
information for them. This allows programs to read this
information in a uniform way.
The AMD way to report this is less flexible so some assumptions
are hardcoded (e.g. no L3)

vSMPowered systems use apic_cluster too. Forcing apic_physflat works
on these systems too, but only if we change phys_pkg_id to use
hard_smp_prcoessor_id() instead of cpuid_ebx. I am guessing other
multichassi cluster systems would need this too.

Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT,
...) to notify the page fault. Since notify_die() is highly overloaded, this
page fault notification is currently being sent to all the components
registered with register_die_notification() which uses the same die_chain to
loop for all the registered components which is unnecessary.
In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path, this critical page fault
notification is now moved to different call chain and the test results showed
great improvements.
And the kprobes which is interested in this notifications, now registers onto
this new call chain only when it need to, i.e Kprobes now registers for page
fault notification only when their are an active probes and unregisters from
this page fault notification when no probes are active.
I have incorporated all the feedback given by Ananth and Keith and everyone,
and thanks for all the review feedback.
This patch:

If there are multi kprobes on the same probepoint, there will be one extra
aggr_kprobe on the head of kprobe list. The aggr_kprobe has
aggr_post_handler/aggr_break_handler whether the other kprobe
post_hander/break_handler is NULL or not. This patch modifies this, only
when there is one or more kprobe in the list whose post_handler is not
NULL, post_handler of aggr_kprobe will be set as aggr_post_handler.

Implement the time sources for i386 (acpi_pm, cyclone, hpet, pit, and tsc).
With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping
code should be complete.
The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.

This converts the i386 arch to use the generic timeofday subsystem. It
enabled the GENERIC_TIME option, disables the timer_opts code and other arch
specific timekeeping code and reworks the delay code.
While this patch enables the generic timekeeping, please note that this patch
does not provide any i386 clocksource. Thus only the jiffies clocksource will
be available. To get full replacements for the code being disabled here, the

As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this
introduces a new tsc.c file. The code in this file replaces the TSC
initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which
will be removed) that we want to preserve.
The code also introduces the following functionality:
o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not
change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency
o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping
usability
o minor cleanups to calibration math.
This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.
