PCI-Express AER (Advanced Error Reporting) provides more robust error reporting.
The series of patches enable kernel support to AER.The initial patches were written by Tom Long Nguyen. I ported them to the kernel
2.6.18-rc3. Many thanks to Rajesh Shah and Narayanan Chandramouli for their great
review comments and testing help.Patch 1 consists of the pciaer-howto.txt document.

Add the pm_trace attribute in /sys/power which has to be explicitly set to
one to really enable the "PM tracing" code compiled in when CONFIG_PM_TRACE

Add a boot parameter to reserve high linear address space for hypervisors.

Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final
option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free
enough pages to allow a local allocation.However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory
of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with
46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in
dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during
global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems).This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim
occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache
pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone.2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages
(patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter)
are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable).The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node
specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach
(current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be
allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is
unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based
slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier.The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5%
Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

Some buggy systems can machine check when config space accesses
happen for some non existent devices. i386/x86-64 do some early
device scans that might trigger this. Allow pci=noearly to disable
this. Also when type 1 is disabling also don't do any early
accesses which are always type1.This moves the pci= configuration parsing to be a early parameter.
I don't think this can break anything because it only changes
a single global that is only used by PCI.Cc: gregkh@suse.de

Adds a new /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog call that will enable/disable the
nmi watchdog.By entering a non-zero value here, a user can enable the nmi watchdog to
monitor the online cpus in the system. By entering a zero value here, a
user can disable the nmi watchdog and free up a performance counter which
could then be utilized by the oprofile subsystem, otherwise oprofile may be

This turned into a rewrite of Documentation/power/devices.txt:
- Provide more of the "big picture"
- Fixup some of the horribly ancient/obsolete description of device suspend()
semantics; lots of text just got deleted.- Add a decent description of PM_EVENT_* codes, including the new PRETHAW code
needed in some swsusp scenarios.- Describe the new PM factorization from Linus:
* class suspend, current suspend, then suspend_late
* NOT suspend_prepare, it wasn't really usable
* resume_early, current resume, class resume.- Updates power/state docs to be correct, and deprecate its usage except for
driver testing.Signed-off-by: David Brownell

This patch to the driver's documentation adds a few new product entries,
sorts the entries on OEM lines first for easy searching, followed by
product id order to make it easier to compare against the open source
pci list. The driver has 'family match' so is somewhat future proof, no
code changes are required to recognize the new products.Signed-off-by: Mark Haverkamp
