"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT
instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH)
C-states.When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally
negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1,
and use IO accesses for deeper C-states.This option is useful for power and performance
comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs
where broken MWAIT support is advertised.http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807

"idle=halt" limits the idle loop to using
the halt instruction. No MWAIT, no IO accesses,
no C-states deeper than C1.If something is broken in the idle code,
"idle=halt" is a less severe workaround
than "idle=poll" which disables all power savings.Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui

Applies on top of the previous patch:
x86 boot: add code to add BIOS provided EFI memory entries to kernelInstead of always adding EFI memory map entries (if present) to the
memory map after initially finding either E820 BIOS memory map entries
and/or kernel command line memmap entries, -instead- only add such
additional EFI memory map entries if the kernel boot option:add_efi_memmap
is specified.
Requiring this 'add_efi_memmap' option is backward compatible with
kernels that didn't load such additional EFI memory map entries in
the first place, and it doesn't override a configuration that tries
to replace all E820 or EFI BIOS memory map entries with ones given
entirely on the kernel command line.Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson

ACPI PM: Add possibility to change suspend sequence
There are some systems out there that don't work correctly with
our current suspend/hibernation code ordering. Provide a workaround
for these systems allowing them to pass 'acpi_sleep=old_ordering' in
the kernel command line so that it will use the pre-ACPI 2.0 ("old")
suspend code ordering.Unfortunately, this requires us to add a platform hook to the
resuming of devices for recovering the platform in case one of the
device drivers' .suspend() routines returns error code. Namely,
ACPI 1.0 specifies that _PTS should be called before suspending
devices, but _WAK still should be called before resuming them in
order to undo the changes made by _PTS. However, if there is an
error during suspending devices, they are automatically resumed
without returning control to the PM core, so the _WAK has to be
called from within device_resume() in that cases.The patch also reorders and refactors the ACPI suspend/hibernation
code to avoid duplication as far as reasonably possible.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Contention for scarce PCI memory resources has been growing
due to an increasing number of PCI slots in large multi-node
systems. The kernel currently attempts by default to
allocate memory for all PCI expansion ROMs so there has
also been an increasing number of PCI memory allocation
failures seen on these systems. This occurs because the
BIOS either (1) provides insufficient PCI memory resource
for all the expansion ROMs or (2) provides adequate PCI
memory resource for expansion ROMs but provides the
space in kernel unexpected BIOS assigned P2P non-prefetch
windows.The resulting PCI memory allocation failures may be benign
when related to memory requests for expansion ROMs themselves
but in some cases they can occur when attempting to allocate
space for more critical BARs. This can happen when a successful
expansion ROM allocation request consumes memory resource
that was intended for a non-ROM BAR. We have seen this
happen during PCI hotplug of an adapter that contains a
P2P bridge where successful memory allocation for an
expansion ROM BAR on device behind the bridge consumed
memory that was intended for a non-ROM BAR on the P2P bridge.
In all cases the allocation failure messages can be very
confusing for users.This patch provides a new 'pci=norom' kernel boot parameter
that can be used to disable the default PCI expansion ROM memory
resource allocation. This provides a way to avoid the above
described issues on systems that do not contain PCI devices
for which drivers or user-level applications depend on the
default PCI expansion ROM memory resource allocation behavior.Signed-off-by: Gary Hade

We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objectsBoth problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore. One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause. This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash. Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem listEach operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation. When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.The list of operations can be extended if the need arises. For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets. The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree. Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.The debug code can be compiled in without being active. The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives. A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.Thanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.

This patch is for batching up the flushing of the IOTLB for the DMAR
implementation found in the Intel VT-d hardware. It works by building a list
of to be flushed IOTLB entries and a bitmap list of which DMAR engine they are
from.After either a high water mark (250 accessible via debugfs) or 10ms the list
of iova's will be reclaimed and the DMAR engines associated are IOTLB-flushed.This approach recovers 15 to 20% of the performance lost when using the IOMMU
for my netperf udp stream benchmark with small packets. It can be disabled
with a kernel boot parameter "intel_iommu=strict".Its use does weaken the IOMMU protections a bit.

We currently keep 2 lists of PCI devices in the system, one in the
driver core, and one all on its own. This second list is sorted at boot
time, in "BIOS" order, to try to remain compatible with older kernels
(2.2 and earlier days). There was also a "nosort" option to turn this
sorting off, to remain compatible with even older kernel versions, but
that just ends up being what we have been doing from 2.5 days...Unfortunately, the second list of devices is not really ever used to
determine the probing order of PCI devices or drivers[1]. That is done
using the driver core list instead. This change happened back in the
early 2.5 days.Relying on BIOS ording for the binding of drivers to specific device
names is problematic for many reasons, and userspace tools like udev
exist to properly name devices in a persistant manner if that is needed,
no reliance on the BIOS is needed.Matt Domsch and others at Dell noticed this back in 2006, and added a
boot option to sort the PCI device lists (both of them) in a
breadth-first manner to help remain compatible with the 2.4 order, if
needed for any reason. This option is not going away, as some systems
rely on them.This patch removes the sorting of the internal PCI device list in "BIOS"
mode, as it's not needed at all anymore, and hasn't for many years.
I've also removed the PCI flags for this from some other arches that for
some reason defined them, but never used them.This should not change the ordering of any drivers or device probing.
[1] The old-style pci_get_device and pci_find_device() still used this
sorting order, but there are very few drivers that use these functions,
as they are deprecated for use in this manner. If for some reason, a
driver rely on the order and uses these functions, the breadth-first
boot option will resolve any problem.Cc: Matt Domsch

Add the security= boot parameter. This is done to avoid LSM
registration clashes in case of more than one bult-in module.User can choose a security module to enable at boot. If no
security= boot parameter is specified, only the first LSM
asking for registration will be loaded. An invalid security
module name will be treated as if no module has been chosen.LSM modules must check now if they are allowed to register
by calling security_module_enable(ops) first. Modify SELinux

boot. Smackfs assumes that smack hooks are registered and
