Some of the NOPs tables aren't used on 64-bits, quite some code and
data is needed post-init for module loading only, and a couple of
functions aren't used outside that file (i.e. can be static, and don't
need to be exported).
The change to __INITDATA/__INITRODATA is needed to avoid an assembler
warning.

Since commit 5fd29d6c ("printk: clean up handling of log-levels

with the extra "<6>" being KERN_INFO. This happens because the
printk in show_signal_msg() started with KERN_CONT and then
used "%s" to pass in the real level; and KERN_CONT is no longer
an empty string, and printk only pays attention to the level at
the very beginning of the format string.
Therefore, remove the KERN_CONT from this printk, since it is
now actively causing problems (and never really made any
sense).

Date: Tue Feb 19 03:21:20 2008 -0800
x86: multi pci root bus with different io resource range, on
64-bit
It turns out that:
1. that AMD-based systems have two HT chains.
2. BIOS doesn't allocate resources for BAR 6 of devices under 8132 etc
3. that multi-peer-root patch will try to split root resources to peer
root resources according to PCI conf of NB
4. PCI core assigns unassigned resources, but they overlap with BARs
that are used by ioapic addr of io4 and 8132.
The reason: at that point ioapic address are not inserted yet. Solution
is to insert ioapic resources into the tree a bit earlier.

Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are
used on atomic64_t variables or vice versa. These bugs don't
generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are
coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any
type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read
and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels.
This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It
also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and
atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get
type-checking on their arguments too.
Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new
warnings, and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.

The function paravirt_ops_setup() has been refering the
variable no_timer_check, which is a __initdata. Thus generates
the following warning. paravirt_ops_setup() function is called
from kvm_guest_init() which is a __init function. So to fix
this we mark paravirt_ops_setup as __init.
The sections-check output that warned us about this was:
LD arch/x86/built-in.o
WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x166ce): Section mismatch in
reference from the function paravirt_ops_setup() to the variable

The function paravirt_ops_setup() references
the variable __initdata no_timer_check.
This is often because paravirt_ops_setup lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of no_timer_check is wrong.

I prefer to just invert the order of the fixmap declaration.
It's simpler and more straightforward.
Backward fixmaps seems to be used by both x86 32 and 64.
It's really rare but a nasty bug, because it only hurts when
instructions to patch are crossing a page boundary. If this
happens, the fixmap write accesses will spill on the following
fixmap, which may very well crash the system. And this does not
crash the system, it could leave illegal instructions in place.
Thanks Masami for finding this.
It seems to have crept into the 2.6.30-rc series, so this calls
for a -stable inclusion.

Linus noticed that atomic64_xchg() uses atomic_read(), which
happens to work because atomic_read() is a macro so the
.counter value gets u64-read on 32-bit too - but this is really
bogus and serious bugs are waiting to happen.
Fix atomic64_xchg() to use __atomic64_read() instead.
No code changed:

Change atomic_read() to be a type-safe inline, and this exposes
the atomic64 bogosity as well:

cmpxchg8b is a huge instruction in terms of register footprint,
we almost never want to inline it, not even within the same
code module.
GCC 4.3 still messes up for two functions, under-judging the
true cost of this instruction - so annotate two key functions
to reduce the bloat:
arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.o:
text data bss dec hex filename
1763 0 0 1763 6e3 atomic64_32.o.before
435 0 0 435 1b3 atomic64_32.o.after
