The use of SEGMENT_RPL_MASK in the i386 ptrace.h introduced by
x86-allow-a-kernel-to-not-be-in-ring-0.patch broke the UML build, as UML
includes the underlying architecture's ptrace.h, but has no easy access to the
x86 segment definitions.Rather than kludging around this, as in the past, this patch splits the
userspace-usable parts, which are the bits that UML needs, of ptrace.h into
ptrace-abi.h, which is included back into ptrace.h. Thus, there is no net
effect on i386.As a side-effect, this creates a ptrace header which is close to being usable
in /usr/include.x86_64 is also treated in this way for consistency. There was some trailing
whitespace there, which is cleaned up.Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike

On x86_64 machines with more than 2 GB of RAM there are large memory gaps
(with no corresponding kernel virtual addresses) and reserved memory
regions between areas of usable physical RAM. Moreover, if CONFIG_FLATMEM
is set, they appear within the normal zone. swsusp should not try to save
them, so the corresponding page structs have to be marked as 'nosave'.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

One of the changes necessary for shared page tables is to standardize the
pxx_page macros. pte_page and pmd_page have always returned the struct
page associated with their entry, while pte_page_kernel and pmd_page_kernel
have returned the kernel virtual address. pud_page and pgd_page, on the
other hand, return the kernel virtual address.Shared page tables needs pud_page and pgd_page to return the actual page
structures. There are very few actual users of these functions, so it is
simple to standardize their usage.Since this is basic cleanup, I am submitting these changes as a standalone
patch. Per Hugh Dickins' comments about it, I am also changing the
pxx_page_kernel macros to pxx_page_vaddr to clarify their meaning.Signed-off-by: Dave McCracken

Refactor the event processing (syslog messaging and rate limiting)
into separate file therm_throt.c. This allows consistent reporting
of CPU thermal throttle events.After ACK'ing the interrupt, if the event is current, the user
(p4.c/mce_intel.c) calls therm_throt_process to log (and rate limit)
the event. If that function returns 1, the user has the option to log
things further (such as to mce_log in x86_64).AK: minor cleanup

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

Current gcc generates calls not jumps to noreturn functions. When that happens the
return address can point to the next function, which confuses the unwinder.This patch works around it by marking asynchronous exception
frames in contrast normal call frames in the unwind information. Then teach
the unwinder to decode this.For normal call frames the unwinder now subtracts one from the address which avoids
this problem. The standard libgcc unwinder uses the same trick.It doesn't include adjustment of the printed address (i.e. for the original
example, it'd still be kernel_math_error+0 that gets displayed, but the
unwinder wouldn't get confused anymore.This only works with binutils 2.6.17+ and some versions of H.J.Lu's 2.6.16
unfortunately because earlier binutils don't support .cfi_signal_frame[AK: added automatic detection of the new binutils and wrote description]

kexec: Avoid overwriting the current pgd (V4, x86_64)
This patch upgrades the x86_64-specific kexec code to avoid overwriting the
current pgd. Overwriting the current pgd is bad when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is used
to start a secondary kernel that dumps the memory of the previous kernel.The code introduces a new set of page tables. These tables are used to provide
an executable identity mapping without overwriting the current pgd.Signed-off-by: Magnus Damm

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

And replace all users with ordinary smp_processor_id. The function
was originally added to get some basic oops information out even
if the GS register was corrupted. However that didn't
work for some anymore because printk is needed to print the oops
and it uses smp_processor_id() already. Also GS register corruptions
are not particularly common anymore.This also helps the Xen port which would otherwise need to
do this in a special way because it can't access the local APIC.Cc: Chris Wright

Right now the kernel on x86-64 has a 100% lazy fpu behavior: after *every*
context switch a trap is taken for the first FPU use to restore the FPU
context lazily. This is of course great for applications that have very
sporadic or no FPU use (since then you avoid doing the expensive
save/restore all the time). However for very frequent FPU users... you
take an extra trap every context switch.The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: After 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch. If the app indeed uses the FPU, the
trap is avoided. (the chance of the 6th time slice using FPU after the
previous 5 having done so are quite high obviously).After 256 switches, this is reset and lazy behavior is returned (until
there are 5 consecutive ones again). The reason for this is to give apps
that do longer bursts of FPU use still the lazy behavior back after some
time.[akpm@osdl.org: place new task_struct field next to jit_keyring to save space]

Now for a completely different but trivial approach.
I just boot tested it with 255 CPUS and everything worked.Currently everything (except module data) we place in
the per cpu area we know about at compile time. So
instead of allocating a fixed size for the per_cpu area
allocate the number of bytes we need plus a fixed constant
for to be used for modules.It isn't perfect but it is much less of a pain to
work with than what we are doing now.AK: fixed warning

This unifies the standard backtracer and the new stacktrace
in memory backtracer. The standard one is converted to use callbacks
and then reimplement stacktrace using new callbacks.The main advantage is that stacktrace can now use the new dwarf2 unwinder
and avoid false positives in many cases.I kept it simple to make sure the standard backtracer stays reliable.
