120fad7240 [PATCH] i386: Fix Cyrix MediaGX detection
The old Cyrix 5520 CPU detection code relied upon the PCI layer setup being
done earlier than the CPU setup, which is no longer true.  Fortunately we
know that if the processor is a MediaGX we can do type 1 pci config
accesses to check the companion chip.  We thus do those directly and from
this find the 5520 and implement the workarounds for the timer problem

Original report from takada@mbf.nifty.com, I sent a proposed patch which
Takara then corrected, tested and sent back to the list on 10th January.

Submitting for merging as it seems to have been missed

2632f01a66 [PATCH] i386: support Classic MediaGXm
I hope to support "classic" MediaGXm in kernel.

The DIR1 register of MediaGXm( or Geode) shows the following values for
identify CPU.  For example, My MediaGXm shows 0x42.

We can read National Semiconductor's datasheet without any NDAs.
  http://www.national.com/pf/GX/GXLV.html

from datasheets:
DIR1
0x30 - 0x33 GXm rev. 1.0 - 2.3
0x34 - 0x4f GXm rev. 2.4 - 3.x
0x5x        GXm rev. 5.0 - 5.4
0x6x        GXLV
0x7x         (unknow)
0x8x	    Gx1

In nsc driver of X, accept 0x30 through 0x82. What will 0x7x mean?

o If physical address size crosses the 44 bit boundary

2ff2d3d747 [PATCH] i386: add idle notifier
Add a notifier mechanism to the low level idle loop.  You can register a
callback function which gets invoked on entry and exit from the low level idle
loop.  The low level idle loop is defined as the polling loop, low-power call,
or the mwait instruction.  Interrupts processed by the idle thread are not
considered part of the low level loop.

The notifier can be used to measure precisely how much is spent in useless
execution (or low power mode).  The perfmon subsystem uses it to turn on/off
monitoring.

464d1a78fb [PATCH] i386: Convert i386 PDA code to use %fs
Convert the PDA code to use %fs rather than %gs as the segment for
per-processor data.  This is because some processors show a small but
measurable performance gain for reloading a NULL segment selector (as %fs
generally is in user-space) versus a non-NULL one (as %gs generally is).

On modern processors the difference is very small, perhaps undetectable.
Some old AMD "K6 3D+" processors are noticably slower when %fs is used
rather than %gs; I have no idea why this might be, but I think they're
sufficiently rare that it doesn't matter much.

This patch also fixes the math emulator, which had not been adjusted to
match the changed struct pt_regs.

435f8a605d Revert "[PATCH] fix typo in geode_configre()@cyrix.c"
This reverts commit e4f0ae0ea6.

It's not wrong, but it's not right either, and everybody seems to agree
that the right fix is probably to do the ccr3 write after the ccr4 one
(and that we also should clean it up a bit).  And after that we need to
really validate that all the bits that we write to ccr4 actually do
work.

The old 2.6.19 code was insane, and basically didn't change ccr4 at all
(even though it certainly looks like it was the *intent* to do so).  So
let's revert the change that may fix things, just because it's not what
was actually ever tested when the code was written, even if it _was_ the
intent.

There's a discussion on http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/9/63 that was
started by the patch that now gets reverted, and that discussion may
well contain the proper long-term fix.

9ee79a3d37 [PATCH] x86: fix PDA variables to work during boot
The current PDA code, which went in in post 2.6.19 has a flaw in that it
doesn't correctly cycle the GDT and %GS segment through the boot PDA,
the CPU PDA and finally the per-cpu PDA.

The bug generally doesn't show up if the boot CPU id is zero, but
everything falls apart for a non zero boot CPU id.  The basically kills
voyager which is perfectly capable of doing non zero CPU id boots, so
voyager currently won't boot without this.

The fix is to be careful and actually do the GDT setups correctly.

24ebead82b [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Always guess FSB
This is patch that solves Ebox mini PC issue and make
FSB code more specification compilant. At start guess_fsb
function is guessing 200MHz FSB too. It is better to
make it in this way because, thanks to this function, driver
will fail for bogus FSB values caused by bogus multiplier
value. For PowerSaver processors we can't depend on Max /
MinMHzFSB because these values are only used for
PowerSaver 2.0 and 3.0. Most processors on which Longhaul
is used are PowerSaver 1.0 only. I'm changing code for older
CPU's too, but not so much as previously, and this code was
already used for Ezra. Using MinMHzBR for Ezra-T is outside
spec. It is for voltage scaling purpose and don't have to
be equal to minmult (but it is). Same for Nehemiah (it
isn't for sure). Added mult - current multiplier value.

264166e604 [CPUFREQ] Longhaul - Fix up powersaver assumptions.
ACPI PM2 register was fallback for "Longhaul ver. 1" CPU's.
My assumption that this register isn't present at
"PowerSaver" motherboards is so far true, but current code
will not work correctly in other case. There are three possible
supports: ACPI C3, PM2 and northbridge. That was my assumption
that ACPI C3 and northbridge is for PS and northbridge and PM2
is for V1. In current code we can only check if it is ACPI
support or not by port22_en. So remove port22_en and add
longhaul_flags. If USE_ACPI_C3 and USE_NORTHBRIDGE are both
clear then it means ACPI PM2 support. Also change order of
support probe from ACPI C3, PM2, northbridge to ACPI C3,
northbridge, ACPI PM2. Paranoid protection against port 0x22
cast as ACPI PM2 register. Bit 1 clear in such case - lockup
on AGP DMA. And obvious (now) fixup for do_powersaver. Use
cx->address only for ACPI C3 ("PowerSaver" processor using
PM2 support).

538f188e03 [PATCH] i386: i386 add Intel BTS cpufeature bit and detection (take 2)
Here is a small patch for i386 which adds a cpufeature flag and
detection code for Intel's Branch Trace Store (BTS) feature. This
feature can be found on Intel P4 and Core 2 processors among others.
It can also be used by perfmon.

changelog:
	- add CPU_FEATURE_BTS
	- add Branch Trace Store detection

365bff806e [PATCH] i386: fix MTRR code
Until not so long ago, there were system log messages pointing to
inconsistent MTRR setup of the video frame buffer caused by the way vesafb
and X worked. While vesafb was fixed meanwhile, I believe fixing it there
only hides a shortcoming in the MTRR code itself, in that that code is not
symmetric with respect to the ordering of attempts to set up two (or more)
regions where one contains the other. In the current shape, it permits
only setting up sub-regions of pre-exisiting ones. The patch below makes
this symmetric.

While working on that I noticed a few more inconsistencies in that code,
namely
- use of 'unsigned int' for sizes in many, but not all places (the patch
  is converting this to use 'unsigned long' everywhere, which specifically
  might be necessary for x86-64 once a processor supporting more than 44
  physical address bits would become available)
- the code to correct inconsistent settings during secondary processor
  startup tried (if necessary) to correct, among other things, the value
  in IA32_MTRR_DEF_TYPE, however the newly computed value would never get
  used (i.e. stored in the respective MSR)
- the generic range validation code checked that the end of the
  to-be-added range would be above 1MB; the value checked should have been
  the start of the range
- when contained regions are detected, previously this was allowed only
  when the old region was uncacheable; this can be symmetric (i.e. the new
  region can also be uncacheable) and even further as per Intel's
  documentation write-trough and write-back for either region is also
  compatible with the respective opposite in the other

4f205fd45a [PATCH] paravirt: Allow selected bug checks to be
Allow selected bug checks to be skipped by paravirt kernels.  The two most
important are the F00F workaround (which is either done by the hypervisor,
or not required), and the 'hlt' instruction check, which can break under
some hypervisors.
