2049336f60 [PATCH] Don't synchronize time reading on single core AMD systems
We do some additional CPU synchronization in gettimeofday et.al. to make
sure the time stamps are always monotonic over multiple CPUs. But on
single core systems that is not needed. So don't do it.

f354b3a92a [PATCH] i386: Split multi-line printk in oops output.
Sometimes, bug reports come in where we've had an oops, and the
only record we have is what the reporter saw on screen shortly
before the system locked up completely.  Unfortunatly, syslog
only prints lines beginning with KERN_EMERG to the console, so
some lines get lost.
An example of this can be seen at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203723

Some of this information isn't vital to diagnosis, but some parts
are useful, such as the tainted flag.

9abd79280b [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Only do MCFG e820 check when type 1 works
Needs earlier patch to split type 1 probing from use.

This patch should fix the x86 macs where type 1 PCI config space access
doesn't work, but MCFG does. They also don't have a usable e820 table
so the e820 sanity check failed.

Instead assume now that if type 1 doesn't work then MCFG must work

78be3706b2 [PATCH] i386: Allow a kernel not to be in ring 0
We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0.  This
requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking
privilege level (user vs kernel).

This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather
than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use
Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace.  I also used
"get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in
the code...

1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a
get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero.

And:

Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0:

a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros.
b. Add a USER_RPL macro.  (Code was comparing a value to a mask
   in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.)
c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them.
d. Change the entry.S tests for LDT stack segment to use the macros

53ee11ae0d [PATCH] Optimize PDA accesses slightly
Based on a idea by Jeremy Fitzhardinge:

Replace the volatiles and memory clobbers in the PDA access with
telling gcc about access to a proxy PDA structure that doesn't
actually exist. But the dummy accesses give a defined ordering for
read/write accesses.

Also add some memory barriers to the early GS initialization to
make sure no PDA access is moved before it.

Advantage is some .text savings (probably most from better
code for accessing "current"):

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
4845647 1223688  615864 6685199  66020f vmlinux

f2a9e1dec2 [PATCH] Put .note.* sections into a PT_NOTE segment
This patch updates x86_64 linker script to pack any .note.* sections
into a PT_NOTE segment in the output file.

To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment.  This requires
us to start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need
to explicitly create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the
sections to them appropriately.  Fortunately, each section will
default to its previous section's segment, so it doesn't take many
changes to vmlinux.lds.S.

The corresponding change is already made for i386 in -mm and I'd like
this patch to join it. The section to segment mappings do change as do
the segment flags so some time in -mm would be good for that reason as
well, just in case.

In particular .data and .bss move from the text segment to the data
segment and .data.cacheline_aligned .data.read_mostly are put in the
data segment instead of a separate one.

I think that it would be possible to exactly match the existing section
to segment mapping and flags but it would be a more intrusive change and
I'm not sure there is a reason for the existing layout other than it is
what you get by default if you don't explicitly specify something else.
If there is a reason for the existing layout then I will of course make
the more intrusive change. If there is no reason we could probably drop
the executable or writable flags from some segments but I don't know how
much attention is paid to them anyway so it might not be worth the
effort.

The vsyscall related sections need to go in a different segment to the
normal data segment and so I invented a "user" segment to contain them.
I believe this should appear to be another data segment as far as the
kernel is concerned so the flags are setup accordingly.

The notes will be used in the Xen paravirt_ops backend to provide
additional information to the domain builder. I am in the process of
converting the xen-unstable kernels and tools over to this scheme at the
moment to support this in the future.

It has been suggested to me that the notes segment should have flags 0
(i.e. not readable) since it is only used by the loader and is not used
at runtime. For now I went with a readable segment since that is what
the i386 patch uses.

AK: dropped NOTES addition right now because the needed infrastructure
for that is not merged yet

26374c7b7d [PATCH] Reload CS when startup_64 is used.
In long mode the %cs is largely a relic.  However there are a few cases
like iret where it matters that we have a valid value.  Without this
patch it is possible to enter the kernel in startup_64 without setting
%cs to a valid value.  With this patch we don't care what %cs value
we enter the kernel with, so long as the cs shadow register indicates
it is a privileged code segment.

Thanks to Magnus Damm for finding this problem and posting the
first workable patch.  I have moved the jump to set %cs down a
few instructions so we don't need to take an extra jump.  Which
keeps the code simpler.

be earlier than the time before the suspend and prevent them from
happening on x86_64.

a549b86dd0 [PATCH] i386: annotate FIX_STACK() and the rest of nmi()
In i386's entry.S, FIX_STACK() needs annotation because it
replaces the stack pointer.  And the rest of nmi() needs
annotation in order to compile with these new annotations.

dbf9272e86 [PATCH] Don't force reserve the 640k-1MB range
From i386 x86-64 inherited code to force reserve the 640k-1MB area.
That was needed on some old systems.

But we generally trust the e820 map to be correct on 64bit systems
and mark all areas that are not memory correctly.

This patch will allow to use the real memory in there.

Or rather the only way to find out if it's still needed is to
try. So far I'm optimistic.

06039754d7 [PATCH] i386: Disallow kprobes on NMI handlers
A kprobe executes IRET early and that could cause NMI recursion and stack
corruption.

Note: This problem was originally spotted and solved by Andi Kleen in the
x86_64 architecture. This patch is an adaption of his patch for i386.

AK: Merged with current code which was a bit different.
AK: Removed printk in nmi handler that shouldn't be there in the first time
AK: Added missing include.
AK: added KPROBES_END
