28d2312881 x86: reducing debuginfo size by removing unneeded includes
I found it strange that the struct sk_buff definition was found
inside the DWARF debugging sections in the generated object, so I verified
and found that there is no need for the files that bring struct sk_buff
definition into this file and verified also that sk_buff is not brought
in indirectly too, thru other headers.

	I went on and removed many other unneeded includes and the end
result is:

[acme@doppio net-2.6]$ l /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after
-rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 185240 2008-02-06 19:19 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after
-rw-rw-r-- 1 acme acme 248328 2008-02-06 19:00 /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before

	Almost 64KB only on this object file!

	There were no other side effects from this change:

[acme@doppio net-2.6]$ objcopy -j "text" /tmp/sys_ia32.o.before /tmp/text.before
[acme@doppio net-2.6]$ objcopy -j "text" /tmp/sys_ia32.o.after /tmp/text.after
[acme@doppio net-2.6]$ md5sum /tmp/text.before /tmp/text.after
b7ac9b17942add68494e698e4f965d36  /tmp/text.before
b7ac9b17942add68494e698e4f965d36  /tmp/text.after

	One of the complaints about using tools such as systemtap is
that one has to install the huge kernel-debuginfo package:

[acme@doppio net-2.6]$ rpm -q --qf "%{size}\n" kernel-rt-debuginfo
471737710
543867594

ef9257668e x86: do kernel direct mapping at boot using GB pages
The AMD Fam10h CPUs support new Gigabyte page table entry for
mapping 1GB at a time. Use this for the kernel direct mapping.

Only done for 64bit because i386 does not support GB page tables.

This only applies to the data portion of the direct mapping; the
kernel text mapping stays with 2MB pages because the AMD Fam10h
microarchitecture does not support GB ITLBs and AMD recommends
against using GB mappings for code.

Can be disabled with disable_gbpages on the kernel command line

the straightforward extension of largepages from the pmd level to the

Turn it off by default, as this code has not been tested well enough yet.

Use the CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES=y .config option or gbpages on the
boot line can be used to enable it. If enabled in the .config then
nogbpages boot option disables it.

926e5392ba x86: add code to dump the (kernel) page tables for visual inspection by kernel developers
This patch adds code to the kernel to have an (optional)
/proc/kernel_page_tables debug file that basically dumps the kernel
pagetables; this allows us kernel developers to verify that nothing fishy is
going on and that the various mappings are set up correctly. This was quite
useful in finding various change_page_attr() bugs, and is very likely to be
useful in the future as well.

5de253cc5b x86 vDSO: don't map 32-bit vdso when disabled
We map a VMA for the 32-bit vDSO even when it's disabled, which is stupid.
For the 32-bit kernel it's the vdso_enabled boot parameter/sysctl
and for the 64-bit kernel it's the vdso32 boot parameter/syscall32 sysctl.

When it's disabled, we don't pass AT_SYSINFO_EHDR so processes don't use
the vDSO for anything, but we still map it.  For the non-compat vDSO,
this means we're always putting an extra VMA somewhere, maybe lousing
up the control of the address space the user was hoping for.

Honor the setting by doing nothing in arch_setup_additional_pages.

1a3e4ca41c x86 vDSO: don't use disabled vDSO for signal trampoline
If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal
handler.  Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what
happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now.

Background:

Currently, every 32-bit exec gets the vDSO mapped even if it's disabled
(the process just doesn't get told about it).  Because it's in fact
always there, the bug that this patch fixes cannot happen now.  With
the second patch, it won't be mapped at all when it's disabled, which is
one of the things that people might really want when they disable it (so
nothing they didn't ask for goes into their address space).

The 32-bit signal handler setup when SA_RESTORER is not used refers to
current->mm->context.vdso without regard to whether the vDSO has been
disabled when the process was exec'd.  This patch fixes this not to use
it when it's null, which becomes possible after the second patch. (This
never happens in normal use, because glibc's sigaction call uses
SA_RESTORER unless glibc detected the vDSO.)

         x86-64: introduce struct pci_sysdata to facilitate sharing of ->sysdata

         This patch introduces struct pci_sysdata to x86 and x86-64, and
         converts the existing two users (NUMA, Calgary) to use it.

         This lays the groundwork for having other users of sysdata, such as
         the PCI domains work.

         The Calgary bits are tested, the NUMA bits just look ok.

replaces pcibios_scan_root by pci_scan_bus_parented...

but in pcibios_scan_root we have a check about scanned busses.

54a0151041 asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_call
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler
clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions
is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs.  The tail/sibling-call
optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use
stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent.
Other optimizations can do it too.

Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the
compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all
the manifestations of this issue that crop up.

More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument
variables live at the end of the function.  This makes their original
stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler
tends not clobber them for something else.  It's still no guarantee, but
it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

This patch also resolves hangs on boot:
	http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/263
	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10093

The bug was causing once-in-few-reboots 10-15 sec wait during boot on
certain laptops.

Earlier commit 40d6a14662 added
smp_call_function in cpu_idle_wait() to kick cpus that are in tickless
idle.  Looking at cpu_idle_wait code at that time, code seemed to be
over-engineered for a case which is rarely used (while changing idle
handler).

Below is a simplified version of cpu_idle_wait, which just makes a dummy
smp_call_function to all cpus, to make them come out of old idle handler
and start using the new idle handler.  It eliminates code in the idle
loop to handle cpu_idle_wait.

ed9b949f55 FRV: Make NOMMU-mode work with base addresses other than 0xC0000000 [try #2]
Make NOMMU-mode work with base addresses other than 0xC0000000 by:

 (1) Giving the code that sets up the protection registers the right address
     in __sdram_base.  Rather than being hard coded to 0xC0000000, the value
     of __page_offset is obtained from the linker script.

 (2) Eliminate the check in __switch_to() that verifies the current thread
     info is in the 0xCxxxxxxx region.

d786a4a659 [SPARC]: Fix several regset and ptrace bugs.
1) ptrace should pass 'current' to task_user_regset_view()

2) When fetching general registers using a 64-bit view, and
   the target is 32-bit, we have to convert.

3) Skip the whole register window get/set code block if
   the user isn't asking to access anything in there.

   Otherwise we have problems if the user doesn't have
   an address space setup.  Fetching ptrace register is
   still valid at such a time, and ptrace does not try
   to access the register window area of the regset.

f4be31ec96 pop previous section in alternative.c
gcc expects all toplevel assembly to return to the original section type.
The code in alteranative.c does not do this. This caused some strange bugs
in sched-devel where code would end up in the .rodata section and when
the kernel sets the NX bit on all .rodata, the kernel would crash when
executing this code.

This patch adds a .previous marker to return the code back to the
original section.

Credit goes to Andrew Pinski for telling me it wasn't a gcc bug but a
bug in the toplevel asm code in the kernel.  ;-)

4f41c94d5c x86: fix call to set_cyc2ns_scale() from time_cpufreq_notifier()
In time_cpufreq_notifier() the cpu id to act upon is held in freq->cpu. Use it
instead of smp_processor_id() in the call to set_cyc2ns_scale().
This makes the preempt_*able() unnecessary and lets set_cyc2ns_scale() update
the intended cpu's cyc2ns.

|     x86: tsc prevent time going backwards

it has been identified to cause suspend regression - and the
commit fixes a longstanding bug that existed before 2.6.25 was
opened - so it can wait some more until the effects are better
understood.

We handle a broken tsc these days, so no need to panic.  We clear the
TSC bit when tsc_init decides it's unreliable (eg.  under lguest w/ bad
host TSC), leading to bogus panic.
