A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.
Notes:
- this patch changes the meaning of set_huge_pte() to be more
analagous to set_pte()
- does SH4 need s special huge_ptep_get_and_clear()??Acked-by: William Lee Irwin

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new
lib/smp_processor_id.c file. All related comments got updated and/or
clarified.I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly. This will
fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running
compatibility mode apps.a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. And instead of exec
failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to
succeed previously.b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area
may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption
because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning
ENOMEM.c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail.

When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
GART. This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
the GATT. Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
the point of view of the GART.These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
architectures that use the GART driver.Signed-off-by: Keir Fraser

Collected NMI watchdog fixes.
- Fix call of check_nmi_watchdog
- Remove earlier move of check_nmi_watchdog to later. It does not fix the
race it was supposed to fix fully.- Remove unused P6 definitions
- Add support for performance counter based watchdog on P4 systems.
This allows to run it only once per second, which saves some CPU time.
Previously it would run at 1000Hz, which was too much.Code ported from i386
Make this the default on Intel systems.
- Use check_nmi_watchdog with local APIC based nmi
- Fix race in touch_nmi_watchdog
- Fix bug that caused incorrect performance counters to be programmed in a
few cases on K8.- Remove useless check for local APIC
- Use local_t and per_cpu variables for per CPU data.
- Keep other CPUs busy during check_nmi_watchdog to make sure they really
tick when in lapic mode.- Only check CPUs that are actually online.
- Various other fixes.
- Fix fallback path when MSRs are unimplemented

There are unfortunately more and more multi processor Opteron systems which
don't have HPET timer support in the southbridge. This covers in particular
Nvidia and VIA chipsets. They also don't guarantee that the TSCs are
synchronized between CPUs; and especially with MP powernow the systems are
nearly unusable because the time gets very inconsistent between CPUs.The timer code for x86-64 was originally written under the assumption that we
could fall back to the HPET timer on such systems. But this doesn't work
there.Another alternative is to use the ACPI PM timer as primary time source. This
patch does that. The kernel only uses PM timer when there is no other choice
because it has some disadvantages.Ported over from i386. It should be faster than the i386 version because I
dropped the "read three times" workaround, but is still considerable slower
than HPET and also does not work together with vsyscalls which have to be
disabled.Cc:

New file - asm-generic/signal.h. Contains declarations of
__sighandler_t, __sigrestore_t, SIG_DFL, SIG_IGN, SIG_ERR and default
definitions of SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK and SIG_SETMASK.asm-*/signal.h switched to including it. The only exception is
asm-parisc/signal.h that wants its own declaration of __sighandler_t;
that one is left as-is.asm-ppc64/signal.h required one more thing - unlike everybody else it
used __sigrestorer_t instead of usual __sigrestore_t. PPC64 switched to
common spelling.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

The attached patch moves the IRQ-related SA_xxx flags (namely, SA_PROBE,
SA_SAMPLE_RANDOM and SA_SHIRQ) from all the arch-specific headers to
linux/signal.h. This looks like a left-over after the irq-handling code
was consolidated. The code was moved to kernel/irq/*, but the flags are
still left per-arch.Right now, adding a new IRQ flag to the arch-specific header, like this
patch does:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/alsa/alsa-driver/utils/patches/pcsp-kernel-2.6.10-03.diff?rev=1.1
no longer works, it breaks the compilation for all other arches, unless you
add that flag to all the other arch-specific headers too. So I think such
a clean-up makes sense.Signed-off-by: Stas Sergeev

The specifications that talk about E820 map doesn't have an upper limit on
the number of e820 entries. But, today's kernel has a hard limit of 32.
With increase in memory size, we are seeing the number of E820 entries
reaching close to 32. Patch below bumps the number upto 128.The patch changes the location of EDDBUF in zero-page (as it comes after E820).
As, EDDBUF is not used by boot loaders, this patch should not have any effect
on bootloader-setup code interface.Patch covers both i386 and x86-64.
Tested on:
* grub booting bzImage
* lilo booting bzImage with EDID info enabled
* pxeboot of bzImageSide-effect:
bss increases by ~ 2K and init.data increases by ~7.5K
on all systems, due to increase in size of static arrays.Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi

A bug against an xSeries system showed up recently noting that the
check_nmi_watchdog() test was failing.I have been investigating it and discovered in both i386 and x86_64 the
recent change to the routine to use the cpu_callin_map has uncovered a
problem. Prior to that change, on an SMP box, the test was trivally
passing because all cpu's were found to not yet be online, but now with the
callin_map they are discovered, it goes on to test the counter and they
have not yet begun to increment, so it announces a CPU is stuck and bails
out.On all the systems I have access to test, the announcement of failure is
also bougs... by the time you can login and check /proc/interrupts, the
NMI count is happily incrementing on all CPUs. Its just that the test is
being done too early.I have tried moving the call to the test around a bit, and it was always
too early. I finally hit on this proposed solution, it delays the routine
via a late_initcall(), seems like the right solution to me.Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

This will allow hotplug CPU in the future and in general cleans up a lot of
crufty code. It also should plug some races that the old hackish way
introduces. Remove one old race workaround in NMI watchdog setup that is not
needed anymore.I removed the old total sum of bogomips reporting code. The brag value of
BogoMips has been greatly devalued in the last years on the open market.Real CPU hotplug will need some more work, but the infrastructure for it is
there now.One drawback: the new TSC sync algorithm is less accurate than before. The
old way of zeroing TSCs is too intrusive to do later. Instead the TSC of the
BP is duplicated now, which is less accurate.akpm:
- sync_tsc_bp_init seems to have the sense of `init' inverted.
- SPIN_LOCK_UNLOCKED is deprecated - use DEFINE_SPINLOCK.

Appended patch adds the support for Intel dual-core detection and displaying
the core related information in /proc/cpuinfo.It adds two new fields "core id" and "cpu cores" to x86 /proc/cpuinfo and the
"core id" field for x86_64("cpu cores" field is already present in x86_64).Number of processor cores in a die is detected using cpuid(4) and this is
documented in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual (vol 2a)
(http://developer.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/index_new.htm#sdm_vol2a)This patch also adds cpu_core_map similar to cpu_sibling_map.

Calling a notifier three times in the debug handler does not make much sense,
because a debugger can figure out the various conditions by itself. Remove
the additional calls to DIE_DEBUG and DIE_DEBUGSTEP completely.This matches what i386 does now.
This also makes sure interrupts are always still disabled when calling a
debugger, which prevents:BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000001] code: tpopf/1470
caller is post_kprobe_handler+0x9/0x70Call Trace:{smp_processor_id+191} {post_kpro
be_handler+9}
{kprobe_exceptions_notify+58}
{notifier_call_chain+32} {do_debug+335}
{debug+127}on preemptible debug kernels with kprobes when single stepping in user space.
This was probably a bug even on non preempt kernels, this function was
supposed to be running with interrupts off according to a comment there.Note to third part debugger maintainers: please double check your debugger can
still single step.Cc:

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.Let it rip!
