52a2638bff Longhaul: add auto enabled "revid_errata" option
VIA C3 Ezra-T has RevisionID equal to 1, but it needs RevisionKey to be 0
or CPU will ignore new frequency and will continue to work at old
frequency.  New "revid_errata" option will force RevisionKey to be set to
0, whatever RevisionID is.

Additionaly "Longhaul" will not silently ignore unsuccessful transition.
It will try to check if "revid_errata" or "disable_acpi_c3" options need to
be enabled for this processor/system.

Same for Longhaul ver.  2 support.  It will be disabled if none of above
options will work.

 Best case scenario (with patch apllied and v2 enabled):
 longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra' [C5C] CPU detected.  Longhaul v2 supported.
 longhaul: Using northbridge support.
 longhaul: VRM 8.5
 longhaul: Max VID=1.350  Min VID=1.050, 13 possible voltage scales
 longhaul: f: 300000 kHz, index: 0, vid: 1050 mV
 [...]
 longhaul: Voltage scaling enabled.
 Worst case scenario:
 longhaul: VIA C3 'Ezra-T' [C5M] CPU detected.  Powersaver supported.
 longhaul: Using northbridge support.
 longhaul: Using ACPI support.
 longhaul: VRM 8.5
 longhaul: Claims to support voltage scaling but min & max are both 1.250. Voltage scaling disabled
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Disabling ACPI C3 support.
 longhaul: Disabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.
 longhaul: Failed to set requested frequency!
 longhaul: Enabling "Ignore Revision ID" option.

4ee5b10abe [x86 setup] Correct the SMAP check for INT 0x15, AX=0xe820
The e820 probe code was checking %edx, not %eax, for the SMAP
signature on return.  This worked on *almost* all systems, since %edx
still contained SMAP from the call on entry, but on a handful of
systems it failed -- plus, we would have missed real mismatches.

The error output is "=d" to make sure gcc knows %edx is clobbered
here.

2efa33f81e [x86 setup] Handle case of improperly terminated E820 chain
At least one system (a Geode system with a Digital Logic BIOS) has
been found which suddenly stops reporting the SMAP signature when
reading the E820 memory chain.  We can't know what, exactly, broke in
the BIOS, so if we detect this situation, declare the E820 data
unusable and fall back to E801.

Also, revert to original behavior of always probing all memory
methods; that way all the memory information is available to the
kernel.

4150d3f549 revert "highmem: catch illegal nesting"
Revert

	commit 656dad312f
	Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
	Date:   Sat Feb 10 01:46:36 2007 -0800

	[PATCH] highmem: catch illegal nesting

	Catch illegally nested kmap_atomic()s even if the page that is mapped by
	the 'inner' instance is from lowmem.

	This avoids spuriously zapped kmap-atomic ptes and turns hard to find
	crashes into clear asserts at the bug site.

Problem is, a get_zeroed_page(GFP_KERNEL) from interrupt context will trigger
this check if non-irq code on this CPU holds a KM_USER0 mapping.  But that
get_zeroed_page() will never be altering the kmap slot anyway due to the
GFP_KERNEL.

23d5ea5d3e i386: Fix perfctr watchdog on core duo
Fix the NMI watchdog on Intel CoreDuo processor where the kernel would
get stuck during boot.  The issue is related to errata AE49, where the
PERFEVTSEL1 counter does not have a working enable bit.  Thus it is not
possible to use it for NMI.

The patch creates a dedicated wd_ops for CoreDuo which falls back to
using PERFEVTSEL0.  The other Intel processors supporting the
architectural PMU will keep on using PERFEVTSEL1 as this allows other
subsystems, such as perfmon, to use PERFEVTSEL0 for PEBS monitoring in
particular.  Bug initially reported by Daniel Walker.

7d94143291 Fix spurious syscall tracing after PTRACE_DETACH + PTRACE_ATTACH
When PTRACE_SYSCALL was used and then PTRACE_DETACH is used, the
TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE flag is left set on the formerly-traced task.  This
means that when a new tracer comes along and does PTRACE_ATTACH, it's
possible he gets a syscall tracing stop even though he's never used
PTRACE_SYSCALL.  This happens if the task was in the middle of a system
call when the second PTRACE_ATTACH was done.  The symptom is an
unexpected SIGTRAP when the tracer thinks that only SIGSTOP should have
been provoked by his ptrace calls so far.

A few machines already fixed this in ptrace_disable (i386, ia64, m68k).
But all other machines do not, and still have this bug.  On x86_64, this
constitutes a regression in IA32 compatibility support.

Since all machines now use TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE for this, I put the
clearing of TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE in the generic ptrace_detach code rather
than adding it to every other machine's ptrace_disable.

ce29a1f8bd [x86 setup] Work around bug in Xen HVM
Apparently XEN does not keep the contents of the 48-bit gdt_48 data
structure that is passed to lgdt in the XEN machine state. Instead it
appears to save the _address_ of the 48-bit descriptor
somewhere. Unfortunately this data happens to reside on the stack and
is probably no longer availiable at the time of the actual protected
mode jump.

This is Xen bug but given that there is a one-line patch to work
around this problem, the linux kernel should probably do this.  My fix
is to make the gdt_48 description in setup_gdt static (in setup_idt
this is already the case). This allows the kernel to boot under
Xen HVM again.

36ad4885c4 x86: be even more careful about checking the stack frame on dumping
lguest didn't initialize the kernel stack the way a real i386 kernel

that doesn't happen on naive i386, and that the stack dumping didn't
handle quite right.

This makes the frame handling more correct, and tries to clarify the
code at the same time so that it's a bit more obvious what is going on.

dec4ad86c2 hugepage: fix broken check for offset alignment in hugepage mappings
For hugepage mappings, the file offset, like the address and size, needs to
be aligned to the size of a hugepage.

In commit 68589bc353, the check for this was
moved into prepare_hugepage_range() along with the address and size checks.
 But since BenH's rework of the get_unmapped_area() paths leading up to
commit 4b1d89290b, prepare_hugepage_range()
is only called for MAP_FIXED mappings, not for other mappings.  This means
we're no longer ever checking for an aligned offset - I've confirmed that
mmap() will (apparently) succeed with a misaligned offset on both powerpc
and i386 at least.

This patch restores the check, removing it from prepare_hugepage_range()
and putting it back into hugetlbfs_file_mmap().  I'm putting it there,
rather than in the get_unmapped_area() path so it only needs to go in one
place, than separately in the half-dozen or so arch-specific
implementations of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area().

2aa44d0567 sched: sched_clock_idle_[sleep|wakeup]_event()
construct a more or less wall-clock time out of sched_clock(), by
using ACPI-idle's existing knowledge about how much time we spent
idling. This allows the rq clock to work around TSC-stops-in-C2,
TSC-gets-corrupted-in-C3 type of problems.

( Besides the scheduler's statistics this also benefits blktrace and
  printk-timestamps as well. )

Furthermore, the precise before-C2/C3-sleep and after-C2/C3-wakeup
callbacks allow the scheduler to get out the most of the period where
the CPU has a reliable TSC. This results in slightly more precise
task statistics.

8b14cb9953 Fix lazy mode vmalloc synchronization for paravirt
Touching vmalloc memory in the middle of a lazy mode update can generate
a kernel PDE update, which must be flushed immediately.  The fix is to
leave lazy mode when doing a vmalloc sync.

36ce151411 i386: Mark NUMA support experimental
I did some testing and found quite a lot of problems (doesn't
boot at all on non NUMA and misassigns cores on Opteron systems).

Mark it as experimental and warn against its use for now.

It's still default y for SUMMIT/NUMAQ because it'll presumably
work on these systems.

61ec7567db ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled.
However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable
the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed.

init/main.c:
	Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
	undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply.

i386:
	delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic()
	delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup()

x86_64:
	rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386
	define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386

d34fda4a84 x86: properly initialize temp insn buffer for paravirt patching
With commit ab144f5ec6 the patching code
now collects the complete new instruction stream into a temp buffer
before finally patching in the new insns.  In some cases the paravirt
patchers will choose to leave the patch site unpatched (length mismatch,
clobbers mismatch, etc).

This causes the new patching code to copy an uninitialized temp buffer,
i.e.  garbage, to the callsite.  Simply make sure to always initialize
the buffer with the original instruction stream.  A better fix is to
audit all the patchers and return proper length so that apply_paravirt()
can skip copies when we leave the patch site untouched.

f0f12d85af x86_64: Check for .cfi_rel_offset in CFI probe
Very old 64bit binutils have .cfi_startproc/endproc, but
no .cfi_rel_offset. Check for .cfi_rel_offset too.

0328ecef90 x86_64: Fix to keep watchdog disabled by default for i386/x86_64
Fixed wrong expression which enabled watchdogs even if nmi_watchdog kernel
parameter wasn't set. This regression got slightly introduced with commit
b7471c6da9.

Introduced NMI_DISABLED (-1) which allows to switch the value of NMI_DEFAULT
without breaking the APIC NMI watchdog code (again).

Fixes:
   https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=298084
   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7839
And likely some more nmi_watchdog=0 related issues.

9a5f35d4ed [x86 setup] edd.c: make sure MBR signatures actually get reported
When filling in the MBR signature array, the setup code failed to advance
boot_params.edd_mbr_sig_buf_entries, which resulted in the valid data
being ignored.

c1a6e2b082 [x86 setup] Don't use EDD to get the MBR signature
At least one machine has been identified in the field which advertises
EDD for all drives but locks up if one attempts an extended read from
a non-primary drive.

The MBR is always at CHS 0-0-1, so there is no reason to use an
extended read, other than the possibility that the BIOS cannot handle
it.

Although this might break as many machines as it fixes (a small number
either way), the current state is a regression but the reverse is not.
Therefore revert to the previous state of not using extended read.

Quite probably the Right Thing to do is to read using plain (CHS) read
and extended read on failure, but that change would definitely have to
go through -mm first.
