The TSC calibration function is still very complicated, but this makes
it at least a little bit less so by moving the PIT part out into a
helper function of its own.

Larry Finger reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/1/90:
An ancient laptop of mine started throwing errors from b43legacy when
I started using 2.6.27 on it. This has been bisected to commit bfc0f59
"x86: merge tsc calibration".
The unification of the TSC code adopted mostly the 64bit code, which
prefers PMTIMER/HPET over the PIT calibration.
Larrys system has an AMD K6 CPU. Such systems are known to have
PMTIMER incarnations which run at double speed. This results in a
miscalibration of the TSC by factor 0.5. So the resulting calibrated
CPU/TSC speed is half of the real CPU speed, which means that the TSC
based delay loop will run half the time it should run. That might
explain why the b43legacy driver went berserk.
On the other hand we know about systems, where the PIT based
calibration results in random crap due to heavy SMI/SMM
disturbance. On those systems the PMTIMER/HPET based calibration logic
with SMI detection shows better results.
According to Alok also virtualized systems suffer from the PIT
calibration method.
The solution is to use a more wreckage aware aproach than the current
either/or decision.
1) reimplement the retry loop which was dropped from the 32bit code
during the merge. It repeats the calibration and selects the lowest
frequency value as this is probably the closest estimate to the real
frequency
2) Monitor the delta of the TSC values in the delay loop which waits
for the PIT counter to reach zero. If the maximum value is
significantly different from the minimum, then we have a pretty safe
indicator that the loop was disturbed by an SMI.
3) keep the pmtimer/hpet reference as a backup solution for systems
where the SMI disturbance is a permanent point of failure for PIT
based calibration
4) do the loop iteration for both methods, record the lowest value and
decide after all iterations finished.
5) Set a clear preference to PIT based calibration when the result
makes sense.
The implementation does the reference calibration based on
HPET/PMTIMER around the delay, which is necessary for the PIT anyway,
but keeps separate TSC values to ensure the "independency" of the
resulting calibration values.
Tested on various 32bit/64bit machines including Geode 266Mhz, AMD K6
(affected machine with a double speed pmtimer which I grabbed out of
the dump), Pentium class machines and AMD/Intel 64 bit boxen.

Breaking lines due to some imaginary problem with a long line length is
often stupid and wrong, but never more so when it splits a string that
is printed out into multiple lines. This really ended up making it much
harder to find where some error strings were printed out, because a
simple 'grep' didn't work.
I'm sure there is tons more of this particular idiocy hiding in other
places, but this particular case hit me once more last week. So fix it.

This reverts commit a2bd7274b4.
It wasn't really right to begin with (there's a better fix for the
problem with e820 reservations clashing with PCI BAR's pending), but it
also actually causes more regressions, so it should be reverted even
before the better fix is finalized.
Rafael reports that this commit broke AHCI detection, and thus causes
the kernel to not boot on his quad core test box.

When a device is under an EBUS or ISA bus, the resource flags
don't get set properly.
Fix this by re-evaluating the resource flags at each level of
bus as we apply ranges on the way to the root. And let PCI
override any existing flags setting, but don't let the
default flags calculator make such overrides.

Using just 'unsigned' will make flags an unsigned int. While this is
arguably not an error on blackfin where sizeof(int) == sizeof(long),
the patch is still justified on the grounds of principle.

Ordinarily, memory holes in flatmem still have a valid memmap and is safe
to use. However, an architecture (ARM) frees up the memmap backing memory
holes on the assumption it is never used. /proc/pagetypeinfo reads the
whole range of pages in a zone believing that the memmap is valid and that
pfn_valid will return false if it is not. On ARM, freeing the memmap breaks
the page->zone linkages even though pfn_valid() returns true and the kernel
can oops shortly afterwards due to accessing a bogus struct zone *.
This patch lets architectures say when FLATMEM can have holes in the
memmap. Rather than an expensive check for valid memory, /proc/pagetypeinfo
will confirm that the page linkages are still valid by checking page->zone
is still the expected zone. The lookup of page_zone is safe as there is a
limited range of memory that is accessed when calling page_zone. Even if
page_zone happens to return the correct zone, the impact is that the counters
in /proc/pagetypeinfo are slightly off but fragmentation monitoring is
unlikely to be relevant on an embedded system.
