f29192320f x86/pgtable: explain constant sign extension problem
When the _PAGE_FOO constants are defined as (1ul << _PAGE_BIT_FOO), they
become unsigned longs.  In 32-bit PAE mode, these end up being
implicitly cast to 64-bit types when used to manipulate a pte, and
because they're unsigned the top 32-bits are 0, destroying the upper
bits of the pte.

When _PAGE_FOO constants are given a signed integer type, the cast to
64-bits will sign-extend so that the upper bits are all ones,
preserving the upper pte bits in manipulations.

Explain this in a prominent place.

4891645e76 x86: unify paravirt pagetable accessors
Put all the defines for mapping pagetable operations to their native
versions (for the non-paravirt case) into one place.  Make the
corresponding changes to paravirt.h.

The tricky part here is that when a pagetable entry can't be updated
atomically (ie, 32-bit PAE), we need special handlers for pte_clear,
set_pte_atomic and set_pte_present.  However, the other two modes
don't need special handling for these, and can use a common
set_pte(_at) path.

bac4894dfa x86: make NUMA work on 32-bit again
On 32-bit NUMA, the memmap representing struct pages on each node is
allocated from node-local memory if possible. As only node-0 has memory from
ZONE_NORMAL, the memmap must be mapped into low memory. This is done by
reserving space in the Kernel Virtual Area (KVA) for the memmap belonging
to other nodes by taking pages from the end of ZONE_NORMAL and remapping
the other nodes memmap into those virtual addresses. The node boundaries
are then adjusted so that the region of pages is not used and it is marked
as reserved in the bootmem allocator.

This reserved portion of the KVA is PMD aligned althought
strictly speaking that requirement could be lifted (see thread at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/24/220). The problem is that when aligned, there
may be a portion of ZONE_NORMAL at the end that is not used for memmap and
does not have an initialised memmap nor is it marked reserved in the bootmem
allocator. Later in the boot process, these pages are freed and a storm of
Bad page state messages result.

This patch marks these pages reserved that are wasted due to alignment
in the bootmem allocator so they are not accidently freed. It is worth
noting that memory from node-0 is wasted where it could have been put into
ZONE_HIGHMEM on NUMA machines. Worse, the KVA is always reserved from the
location of real memory even when there is plenty of spare virtual address
space.

This patch also makes sure that reserve_bootmem() is not called with a
0-length size in numa_kva_reserve().  When this happens, it usually means
that a kernel built for Summit is being booted on a normal machine. The
resulting BUG_ON() is misleading so it is caught here.

8c1c935642 x86: kprobes: add kprobes smoke tests that run on boot
Here is a quick and naive smoke test for kprobes. This is intended to
just verify if some unrelated change broke the *probes subsystem. It is
self contained, architecture agnostic and isn't of any great use by itself.

This needs to be built in the kernel and runs a basic set of tests to
verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case
of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix.

This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.

Thanks to Jim Keniston and Masami Hiramatsu for comments and suggestions.

acdac87202 percpu: make the asm-generic/percpu.h more "generic"
- add support for PER_CPU_ATTRIBUTES

- fix generic smp percpu_modcopy to use per_cpu_offset() macro.

Add the ability to use generic/percpu even if the arch needs to override
several aspects of its operations. This will enable the use of generic
percpu.h for all arches.

An arch may define:

__per_cpu_offset	Do not use the generic pointer array. Arch must
			define per_cpu_offset(cpu) (used by x86_64, s390).

__my_cpu_offset		Can be defined to provide an optimized way to determine
			the offset for variables of the currently executing
			processor. Used by ia64, x86_64, x86_32, sparc64, s/390.

SHIFT_PTR(ptr, offset)	If an arch defines it then special handling
			of pointer arithmentic may be implemented. Used
			by s/390.

(Some of these special percpu arch implementations may be later consolidated
so that there are less cases to deal with.)

The arch definitions are all the same. So move them into linux/percpu.h.

We cannot move DECLARE_PER_CPU since some include files just include
asm/percpu.h to avoid include recursion problems.

b32ef636a5 percpu: use a kconfig variable to signal arch specific percpu setup
The use of the __GENERIC_PERCPU is a bit problematic since arches
may want to run their own percpu setup while using the generic
percpu definitions. Replace it through a kconfig variable.

cf8fa920cb i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)
The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in
lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot
loader.  This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time
field.  Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this
part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects
the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the
lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself.

Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel.

6d7d743375 x86 boot : export boot_params via debugfs for debugging
This patch export the boot parameters via debugfs for debugging.

The files added are as follow:

boot_params/data    :  binary file for struct boot_params
boot_params/version :  boot protocol version

This patch is based on 2.6.24-rc5-mm1 and has been tested on i386 and
x86_64 platform.

This patch is based on the Peter Anvin's proposal.

4d022e35fd x86: reboot_{32|64}.c unification
reboot_{32|64}.c unification patch.

This patch unifies the code from the reboot_32.c and reboot_64.c files.

It has been tested in computers with X86_32 and X86_64 kernels and it
looks like all reboot modes work fine (EFI restart system hasn't been
tested yet).

Probably I made some mistakes (like I usually do) so I hope
we can identify and fix them soon.

71c339116a debug: add the end-of-trace marker and the module list to
Unlike oopses, WARN_ON() currently does't print the loaded modules list.
This makes it harder to take action on certain bug reports. For example,
recently there were a set of WARN_ON()s reported in the mac80211 stack,
which were just signalling a driver bug. It takes then anther round trip
to the bug reporter (if he responds at all) to find out which driver
is at fault.

Another issue is that, unlike oopses, WARN_ON() doesn't currently printk
the helpful "cut here" line, nor the "end of trace" marker.
Now that WARN_ON() is out of line, the size increase due to this is
minimal and it's worth adding.

79b4cc5ee7 debug: move WARN_ON() out of line
A quick grep shows that there are currently 1145 instances of WARN_ON
in the kernel. Currently, WARN_ON is pretty much entirely inlined,
which makes it hard to enhance it without growing the size of the kernel
(and getting Andrew unhappy).

This patch build on top of Olof's patch that introduces __WARN,
and places the slowpath out of line. It also uses Ingo's suggestion
to not use __FUNCTION__ but to use kallsyms to do the lookup;
this saves a ton of extra space since gcc doesn't need to store the function
string twice now:

3936367  833603  624736 5394706  525112 vmlinux.before
3917508  833603  624736 5375847  520767 vmlinux-slowpath

15Kb savings...
