- Move the slow path fallbacks to their own assembly files
This makes them much easier to read and is needed for the next change.
- Add CFI annotations for unwinding (XXX need review)
- Remove constant case which can never happen with out of line spinlocks
- Use patchable LOCK prefixes
- Don't use lock sections anymore for inline code because they can't
be expressed by the unwinder (this adds one taken jump to the lock
fast path)

This ports the algorithm from x86-64 (with improvements) to i386.
Previously this only worked for frame pointer enabled kernels.
But spinlocks have a very simple stack frame that can be manually
analyzed. Do this.

Hello,
Following my discussion with Andi. Here is a patch that introduces
two new TIF flags to simplify the context switch code in __switch_to().
The idea is to minimize the number of cache lines accessed in the common
case, i.e., when neither the debug registers nor the I/O bitmap are used.
This patch covers the x86-64 modifications. A patch for i386 follows.
Changelog:
- add TIF_DEBUG to track when debug registers are active
- add TIF_IO_BITMAP to track when I/O bitmap is used
- modify __switch_to() to use the new TIF flags

For NUMA optimization and some other algorithms it is useful to have a fast
to get the current CPU and node numbers in user space.
x86-64 added a fast way to do this in a vsyscall. This adds a generic
syscall for other architectures to make it a generic portable facility.
I expect some of them will also implement it as a faster vsyscall.
The cache is an optimization for the x86-64 vsyscall optimization. Since
what the syscall returns is an approximation anyways and user space
often wants very fast results it can be cached for some time. The norma
methods to get this information in user space are relatively slow
The vsyscall is in a better position to manage the cache because it has direct
access to a fast time stamp (jiffies). For the generic syscall optimization
it doesn't help much, but enforce a valid argument to keep programs
portable
I only added an i386 syscall entry for now. Other architectures can follow
as needed.

This patch adds a vgetcpu vsyscall, which depending on the CPU RDTSCP
capability uses either the RDTSCP or CPUID to obtain a CPU and node
numbers and pass them to the program.
AK: Lots of changes over Vojtech's original code:
Better prototype for vgetcpu()
It's better to pass the cpu / node numbers as separate arguments
to avoid mistakes when going from SMP to NUMA.
Also add a fast time stamp based cache using a user supplied
argument to speed things more up.
Use fast method from Chuck Ebbert to retrieve node/cpu from
GDT limit instead of CPUID
Made sure RDTSCP init is always executed after node is known.

AK: This redoes the changes I temporarily reverted.
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.
Patch handles both i386 and x86-64 kernels.

When a unknown NMI happened the panic would claim a NMI watchdog timeout.
Also it would check the variable set by nmi_watchdog=panic and panic then.

Making NMI suspend/resume work with SMP. We use CPU hotplug to offline

To quote Alan Cox:
The default Linux behaviour on an NMI of either memory or unknown is to
continue operation. For many environments such as scientific computing
it is preferable that the box is taken out and the error dealt with than
an uncorrected parity/ECC error get propogated.
A small number of systems do generate NMI's for bizarre random reasons
such as power management so the default is unchanged. In other respects
the new proc/sys entry works like the existing panic controls already in
that directory.
This is separate to the edac support - EDAC allows supported chipsets to
handle ECC errors well, this change allows unsupported cases to at least
panic rather than cause problems further down the line.

This patch cleans up the NMI interrupt path. Instead of being gated by if
the 'nmi callback' is set, the interrupt handler now calls everyone who is
registered on the die_chain and additionally checks the nmi watchdog,
reseting it if enabled. This allows more subsystems to hook into the NMI if
they need to (without being block by set_nmi_callback).

Adds basic infrastructure to allow subsystems to reserve performance
counters on the x86 chips. Only UP kernels are supported in this patch to
make reviewing easier. The SMP portion makes a lot more changes.
Think of this as a locking mechanism where each bit represents a different
counter. In addition, each subsystem should also reserve an appropriate
event selection register that will correspond to the performance counter it
will be using (this is mainly neccessary for the Pentium 4 chips as they
break the 1:1 relationship to performance counters).
This will help prevent subsystems like oprofile from interfering with the
nmi watchdog.

There are some machines around (large xSeries or Unisys ES7000) that
need physical IO-APIC destination mode to access all of their IO
devices. This currently doesn't work in UP kernels as used in

allows to use physical or clustered APIC mode.

Assume that a cpu is *physically* offlined at boot time...
Because smpboot.c::smp_boot_cpu_map() canoot find cpu's sapicid,
numa.c::build_cpu_to_node_map() cannot build cpu<->node map for
offlined cpu.
For such cpus, cpu_to_node map should be fixed at cpu-hot-add.
This mapping should be done before cpu onlining.
This patch also handles cpu hotremove case.

Some file systems want to manually d_move() the dentries involved in a
rename. We can do this by making use of the FS_ODD_RENAME flag if we just
have nfs_rename() unconditionally do the d_move(). While there, we rename
the flag to be more descriptive.
OCFS2 uses this to protect that part of the rename operation with a cluster
lock.

This has been discussed on dccp@vger and removes the necessity for applications
to supply service codes in each and every case.
If an application does not want to provide a service code, that's fine, it will

This patch has been tested using various client/server configurations
