Provides a way for NMI reported errors on x86 to notify the EDAC
subsystem pending ECC errors by writing to a software state variable.Here's the reworked patch. I added an EDAC stub to the kernel so we can
have variables that are in the kernel even if EDAC is a module. I also
implemented the idea of using the chip driver to select error detection
mode via module parameter and eliminate the kernel compile option.
Please review/test. Thx!Also, I only made changes to some of the chipset drivers since I am
unfamiliar with the other ones. We can add similar changes as we go.Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang

lguest does some fairly lowlevel things to support a host, which
normal modules don't need:math_state_restore:
When the guest triggers a Device Not Available fault, we need
to be able to restore the FPU__put_task_struct:
We need to hold a reference to another task for inter-guest
I/O, and put_task_struct() is an inline function which calls
__put_task_struct.access_process_vm:
We need to access another task for inter-guest I/O.map_vm_area & __get_vm_area:
We need to map the switcher shim (ie. monitor) at 0xFFC01000.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

Remove is_in_rom() function. It doesn't actually serve the purpose it was
intended to. If you look at the use of it _access_ok() (which is the only use
of it) then it is obvious that most of memory is marked as access_ok. No
point having is_in_rom() then, so remove it.Signed-off-by: Greg Ungerer

Work around a possible bug in the FRV compiler.
What appears to be happening is that gcc resolves the
__builtin_constant_p() in kmalloc() to true, but then fails to reduce the
therefore constant conditions in the if-statements it guards to constant
results.When compiling with -O2 or -Os, one single spurious error crops up in
cpuup_callback() in mm/slab.c. This can be avoided by making the memsize
variable const.Signed-off-by: David Howells

Remove the arg+env limit of MAX_ARG_PAGES by copying the strings directly from
the old mm into the new mm.We create the new mm before the binfmt code runs, and place the new stack at
the very top of the address space. Once the binfmt code runs and figures out
where the stack should be, we move it downwards.It is a bit peculiar in that we have one task with two mm's, one of which is
inactive.[a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl: limit stack size]

Currently most of the per cpu data, which is accessed by different cpus,
has a ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp attribute. Move all this data to the
new per cpu shared data section: .data.percpu.shared_aligned.This will seperate the percpu data which is referenced frequently by other
cpus from the local only percpu data.Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu

per cpu data section contains two types of data. One set which is
exclusively accessed by the local cpu and the other set which is per cpu,
but also shared by remote cpus. In the current kernel, these two sets are
not clearely separated out. This can potentially cause the same data
cacheline shared between the two sets of data, which will result in
unnecessary bouncing of the cacheline between cpus.One way to fix the problem is to cacheline align the remotely accessed per
cpu data, both at the beginning and at the end. Because of the padding at
both ends, this will likely cause some memory wastage and also the
interface to achieve this is not clean.This patch:
Moves the remotely accessed per cpu data (which is currently marked
as ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp) into a different section, where all the data
elements are cacheline aligned. And as such, this differentiates the local
only data and remotely accessed data cleanly.Signed-off-by: Fenghua Yu

I realise jprobes are a razor-blades-included type of interface, but that
doesn't mean we can't try and make them safer to use. This guy I know once
wrote code like this:struct jprobe jp = { .kp.symbol_name = "foo", .entry = "jprobe_foo" };
And then his kernel exploded. Oops.
This patch adds an arch hook, arch_deref_entry_point() (I don't like it
either) which takes the void * in a struct jprobe, and gives back the text
address that it represents.We can then use that in register_jprobe() to check that the entry point we're
passed is actually in the kernel text, rather than just some random value.Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman

The TSEC/eTSEC can detect the interface to the PHY automatically,
but it isn't able to detect whether the RGMII connection needs internal
delay. So we need to detect that change in the device tree, propagate
it to the platform data, and then check it if we're in RGMII. This fixes
a bug on the 8641D HPCN board where the Vitesse PHY doesn't use the delay
for RGMII.Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming

The TSEC/eTSEC automatically detect their PHY interface type, unless
the type is RGMII-ID (RGMII with internal delay). In that situation,
it just detects RGMII. In order to fix this, we need to pass in rgmii-id
if that is the connection type.Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming

This patch enables CPU frequency scaling for AT32AP devices. This will
enable the CPU to scale between the speed of the high speed bus and
the master clock and thus save some power.The patch also adds a parent to cpu_clk and a cpu_clk_set_rate to
enable changing the CPU clock divider in a sane way.The driver does not check if the given rate is 0, thus resulting in a
div by 0. I think this check should be go into the clk_set_rate
framework, and not here.Tested on AT32AP7000/ATSTK1000.
Hardware documentation can be found in the AT32AP7000 datasheet.

which clobbers DS when "scrolling in an SVGA text mode of more than

If the user has asked for the vertical height registers to be recomputed
by setting bit 15 in the video mode number, we do so without clearing the
Protect bit in the Vertical Retrace Register before setting the Overflow
register. As a result, if the VGA BIOS had set the Protect bit, the
write to the Overflow register will be dropped, and bits [9:8] of the
vertical height will be left unchanged.This is a bug imported from the assembly version of this code. It was
pointed out by Etienne Lorrain.Cc: Etienne Lorrain
